IT. HERE seems to be an impression
nraualent among real estate men

IT. HERE seems to be an impression
prevalent among real estate men
that politics, The game occupying
most of the time in Long Beach at the
present. is affecting real estate. The
real estate men and citizens alike have
been busy with politics for the past
week but as the climax comes tomor-
row a., favorable reaction will undoubt-
edly follow the period of quiet.
To say that her citizens have been
busy with politics, however, does not
mean that Long Beach is dead. On
the contrary she is very lively, if one
may judge from the number of sales
reported by the several agents and
the improvements discussed and
planned by promoters and city officials.
During the week the United Syndi-
Gates company has purchased for $780,
900 a large tract of land on State
street between Daisy and Magnolia
avenues. This company has arranged
a system of debentures for investors of
small means which will more nearly
place them on footing with the cap
italist.
An important deal of the week was
the purchase of the property at 106
Chestnut avenue by G. A. Skinner, a
local attorney, and Mr.. Mccormack
This property was purchased for $4,000
and is in close proximity to the Bixby
hotel and is considered an excellent
investment.
During the week the city council has
had two big scrapers at work on the
streets outside the business district
with excellent results. as in some in
stances the rains had left cutters in
bad shape.
Lumber for Hotel
Shipments of lumber have COM
menced to arrive over the Salt Lake
for the Bixby hotel, to be built at the
corner of Magnolia avenue and Seaside
boulevard.
A contract for SS5,OOO worth of street
paving has been let by the city coun-
Gil this week to the Barber Asphalt
Paving company OF Los Angeles. With

commence work on American avenue
and will begin the task of laying four
teen acres of asphalt paving in this
city. 1t is expected that four months
will be required in which to complete
the work and when finished every bus

statement concerning the company's
intention in the matter.
Sales of Realty
Shirey & Cross report having made
several sales in acreage during the
week and have had a steady demand
for low priced residence property.
John e. Yoakum of the Yoakum
Realty company, escorted a party of
local property owners to Kings county
during the week for the purpose of
creating interest in realty conditions
in that part of the country. Among
those who made the trip were DR.. l..
A. Lauer, Jasper Thomason. Philip
Denitz and F. Winston. Stopovers
were indulged in at Lindsey, Sa-
linas, Plano. Visalia, Porterville and
Exeter. With the exception of long
delays both coming and going, the
party expressed much pleasure and
satisfaction at the trip.
John Jordan will Immediately begin
construction on two modern residence
buildings on Florence avenue to cost
$1400 each.
w. P. Dewey of Los Angeles has
purchased the lease of the Balboa
Realty company and will Immediately
convert the big store into a down-to-
date confectionery and ice cream es-
tablishment. Mr.. Dewey will also take
over such of the fixtures now installed
as he can make use Of The Balboa

pleased with their efficiency, and
would regret very much If I were
compelled to do without them.
They do not rust after boiling or
after using mercurial salt; their
lumen remains the same; they do
not break off and can be readily
sharpened. Those who are in the
habit of using hypodermic needles
frequently will certainly appreciate
the gold needles. There Is no COM
parison to be made between the
steel and the gold needle. The
steel needle is simply not In 1t.

Dear Sirs-Having used and given
your gold hypodermic needles a
thorough test, I find they have the
following advantages over the steel
variety: First, no clogging, conse-
uuently no wire necessary; second,
no corrosion; third, ease Of intro
duction, the largest size passing
through the tissue much more read
lily than the small steel needle;
fourth, 1t leaves no mark, being
aseptic; fifth, no danger of blood
poisoning.

Silver

The test Of sterling silver was a
complete repetition Of the gold test
with Identical, although not quite as
pronounced results. A.r
In addition to the above tests a
case containing various surgical in-'
struments, such as scissors, scalpels,
hypodermic needles, ETC., manufac-
tured by Mr.. Vaughn, was submit
ted to me. The working parts of all
of these instruments were made Of
14-karat gold. They all showed
spring elasticity, keen cutting edges
and marked resistance against wear
and tear. They combine the work.
Ing capacity of steel instruments
with the great advantage Of ease
of sterilization and non-corrosive-
ness.
AS far as my tests have gone I
consider that the products Of Mr..
Vaughn's process for "tempering"
gold. silver and copper fully sus-
tain all the claims which he puts
forth.

Then strips of the rolled tenn

ticity. In bending beyond the limit
of elasticity the metal broke like a
steel spring, the break showing a
crystalline surface. A corner of

Gold

A plate Of 1s-karat gold, shaped
like figure, was tempered by Mr..
Vaughn on one side Of the line A
B, while the other side was left
in its original state. The unaltered
half could easily be hammered out
on the anvil. The tempered" half
had a steely ring and very marked
resistance when hammered. The
tempered" half had considerable
spring elasticity, which was absent
in the untempered half.

lines alb and cd respectively. The
knife edge on the tempered" side
could be used for shaving sharpen
ing pencils, cutting thin sheet cop
per without indenture on the edge,
while on the unaltered side the
knife became bent and useless in
the first attempt of cutting the
wood of a pencil.

Copper

In my presence part of the copper
was cut into small pieces, fused In
crucible and put through the "pud-
ding" process by Mr.. Vaughn. The
fused metal was then poured into
a mold. The so obtained ingot was
then rolled between steel rollers,

LATE SOWN GRAIN DAMAGED.
But Big Crop of Early sown Wheat Is
Assured.

Assured.
From the Portland Oregonian comes
the report that the hot winds of the
past few days have fastened the rip
ening of wheat and other cereals in
the Inland Empire. In the Palouse,
the fall and winter grain has come
through the ordeal very well and the
harvest is yielding an average of 30
bushels to the acre. Late sown grain
has been shriveled to some extent by
the intense heat.
In Sherman and WascO counties the
farmers estimate the loss as high as
SO per cent, though it may be less. In
Sherman county some of the wheat is
being cut for hay, but as the price OF
hay is good, there will not be much
loss.
Wheat harvest in the Eureka fiat
country, Walla Walla county, will be-
gin next week. Two days of hot wind
have done great damage to wheat in
the milk The loss is estimated as
high as IS per cent to the late sown
wheat In the Washtucna region har-
vesting will not begin for 20 days.
Hillside fall and spring wheat in Whit.
man county has felt the i'll effects OF
the very warm days.
Umatilla county will turn out about
100000 bushels, despite the loss by
early freezing and the hot weather.
