A Big Graft.

Modem methods of making money
have been adopted by at least one
church away back in Ottawa, Kansas,
and if all who receive letters from the
church asking for aid dig up the entire
world will not have enough to satisfy
the call A few days ago little girl
living west of Troy received the fol
lowing letter, and evidently moved by
the appeal and desiring to assist in
building that new church, sent one of
her three copies to another little girl
living west of Troy:
The members of the Lutheran
church, OF Ottawa, Kansas, are about
to build much needed place of wor-
ship, but are unable to secure money
enough for themselves, Therefore they
started chain of letters. Will you
kindly write three copies Of this letter
starting with the next number higher
on all three, changing only date and
address and send to three of your
friends whom you think will respond.
Send this with five cents to G. w. w.
Sither, also send the name and address
of the three to whom you have sent
and your name will be en- record as
one OF the contributors. Should any
one fail to do this it will be the mean:
of defeating worthy cause. Anyone
not willing please send this letter tC
G. w. w. Sither, Ottawa, Kansas, so i
will be known when the chain is broken
When 200 is reached ample means il
provided to complete the church
This is a small favor asked Of you anC
you will not miss it. God will bles
you"
By figuring little it is found tina
when the series reaches 80 the Kansa
church will have received 305,883,
051, ,7T,6 ,649 letters, which, if eacl
one contains five cents, will certsinl
build a comfortable church, beside
leaving enough money on hand to pa
the preachers salary until the day afte
Gabriel blows his horn. The Who'll

letters should not bite"

SHAW'S OPEN LETTER TO BANKS.
He Urges Them to Send Silver certifi-
 cates to the Treasury.

Washington, December 6-The secretary of the treasury today issued the follow ing open letter to all banking institu- tions of the United States:
 "A very marked scarcity of small bills is noticeable everywhere and the treas ury is powerless to relieve the situation. In the absence of legislation allowing na- tional banks to issue a larger proportion of their circulation in denomination of five dollars, the banks themselves must be relied upon to alleviate the strain as far as possible.
 There are in circulation nearly fifteen million dollars in silver certificates of the denomination of $10. Many of these are doubtless packed away in the vaults of various banking institutions and held as reserve. Permit me respectfully to ask that each institution, state and national search their money in it's vaults and send these silver dollar certificates to the treas ury. They will be promptly converted in one and two's to the very great relief of the country. It is the only remedy.
 Let no bank complain of conditions until it has literally searched it's own vaults and contributed as far as possible to the relief of the situation.'

How She Happened.

From the Chicago Record Herald.
 We are favored by one of our learned friends with the following account of the creation of woman. 1t is translated from an old Sansl<irt book entitled '1he Surg ing of the Ocean of Time
 WOMAN.
 Tradition Says There Was q Scarcity Of Solid Elements at the Time of Her Gre ation.
 At the beginning of time, Twashtri-the Vulcan of the Hindu ytnology-created the world. But when he wished to create woman he found that he had employed all his material in the creation of man. There did not remain one solid element Then Twashtri, perplexed, fell into pro- found meditation. He reused himself as follows
 He took the roundness of the moon, the urdulations of the serpent the entwining of climbing plants, the trembling of the grass, the senderness of the rise vine and the velvet of the flower, the lightness of the leaf and the glance of the fawn, the gayety of the suns rays and tears of the mist, the ineonstancy of the wind and the timidity of the hare, the vanity of the peacock and the softness of the down on the throat of the swallow. the hardness of the diamond, the sweet flavor of honey and the cruelty of the tiger. the warmth of fire, the chill of snow, the chatter of the jay and the cooing of the turtle-doye. He united all these and formed a woman Then he made a present of her to man
 Eight days later the man came to

MORGAN SPEAKS ON
 PANAMA RAILWAY
Advocates Putting the Road Under
 Control of the Canal Commission. Will Present Resolution.

Washington, December 6.-Senator Mor- resolution looking to giving the Panama canal commission control of the Panama railway. In reply to a question from Sen ator Hale, he said that he would not seek today to secure action on the resolution. In making the inquiry Mr. Hale men, tioned the probability of an early message from the President on the canal question, and suggested the wisdom of deferring all action until 1t shall be received.
 MT. Morgan spoke of the Panama road as legal fiction, or an artificial entity to enable this country to avoid it's re- sponsbility as a common carrier"
 If Congress should enact law requr- ing the tearing up of the Panama rail- road, Mr. Morgan said, no creditor could enjoin such destruction.
 MT. Morgan maintained that MT. Crotn- well, whose several connections with the Panama government and the canal com mission he enumerated was the only one who benefited by this manner of manag- ing the road
 "It gives Cromwell absolute control of the road as though he were it's sole owner" he declared.
 Mir Morgan advocated putting the rail- road under the control of the canal com mission. although with the control the President exercised over this commission, he said any wild, arrogant man who happens to be President, could inflict in calculabe injury on the country

 The most significant appointments were were made without any opposition on the part of the French government
 In his allocution, the Pope said that every day the increasingly sad storm of vicissitudes is beating down on the chruch involving great misery.
 More than ever now the pontiff said, the chruch can be compared with a ship buffetted by the waves in the midst of the ocean. But our faith does not waver in the least. Indeed we are more than ever sustained by our belief in the eff cacious assistance of Christ, who, when the time to succor us comes, will rise and command the wind and sea to go down, desired will beam on us'
 "The greatest comfort of Catholicism, a comfort which is confoundng the en- emy," the Pope added was the ''singu- lar concord which prevails through the episcipacy, so fully united to us May God make all Catholics conform to those brilliant examples of their pastors and follow their directions. This imposes sacred duty on the Christian profession, which is emphasized by the present needs Of religion, namely, that where, alluding to France, there is hostility against the church, the people there should be urged to proceed with compact strength, and in those regions, alluding to Spain, where hostility is thretened, Catholics should generally sink all personal animosity and dissensions and neglect no means per- mitted by the laws and by the Christian conscience to overcome the evil"
 It was asserted after the ceremony that Cardinal Samassa's illness was merely pretext to avoid holding a public con- sstory this morning. The real reason for the change, it was added, was that the Vatican authorities feared that an att tempt might be made against the life of the Pope at a public consistoty. This apprehension was based on the bomb outrage in St. Peters November IS, and also on the threatening letters recently addressed to the Pope.

This company, located in the Chamber
of Commerce building, has one Of the
most up-to-date plants in the country.
Mr.. w G.. Thorpe is head of this enter
priSing concern, and his business sagacity
led him to decide on Los Angeles as a
permanent place in which to establish
his plant after visiting many cities and
looking over their requirements. Con-
sidering conditions very favorable here
he leased the entire seventh floor of the
Chamber of Commerce building for a
period of ten years.

met with great success, his spacious quar-

Robert w. Brown, Real Estate

Property owners-that is mum bers of
them holding valuable downtown realty
do not seem to realize the great de-
mand there is a t present for suitable
manufacturing and business premises.
It is important for the growth of the
city that they either improve or allow
others to do so. Since the San Fran
cisco disaster-and in fact months be-
fore that-hundreds of business men
have been seeking business locations
here. Long term leases on desirable
business property would invite outside
capital to build substantial struc ctures-
which would mean immediate occu-
pancy-as the demnad for such build
ings is far in excess of the supply.
Business is working out Main, Broad
way and Hill streets in a very notice
able manner, but it is my belief that it
will soon swing westward along Sixth,
Seventh and Eighth streets, then
branch off on Olive. Flower and so on
westward. The hill section north of
Fifth and west of Hill street will al
ways be reserved as a distinctly resi-
dence and hotel district on account of
its topography.
We are assured great commercial ac-
tivity for the years to come and it be-
hooves us to be ready to accommodate
the northern and eastern firms that are
seeking suitable business locations here
in Los Angeles.
