Student.
This might be good advice but
fos two things. First, the average
newspaper man receives so little
advertising during the year in most
of III North Dakota towns that
this would be an impossibility IN
less some outside concern takes an
advertising contract which will give,
him the whe1ewithal with which
t.. zap thles4fourths sash.
Af he makes contracts with adj
vertislDg collcems, she merchaats
kick and stop doing business With
him, not caring how much tree
space the newspaper man has used
in trying to build up their town SO
that their opportunity for inersas-
ing their business is greatly adj
vanced. The newspaper man has
advertising space to sell, the-same
as the merchant has his dry goods
clothing, groceries, furniture, hard
ware, etc., andi if he gives value re-
ceived he should get thesame treat
ment as the other fellow who has
the future of the town at heart.
Advertise, but advertise right.

VENICE, SAN PEDRO

I Angeles Dock and Terminal company
last week. He said that he considered
the plan Of reclalmlng the tide lands
in the San Gabriel valley not only
| feasible, but much less costly thar
similar work which is being accom-
pllshed about Seattle. He told sew
eral interesting stories Of the rise In
prices there after fills had been made
as they are being made here and ex-
pressed surprise that the land In the
Back Bay district is going at the
present low figures.
The conviction that the boulevard
| connecting this city with Los Angeles
will enter Long Beach over Pacific
avenue has caused considerable specu-
lation in property along that thor
oughfare within the city limits and
beyond them. A real estate man said
Friday that FIVE forty-acre ranches
along that route had changed hands
as result Of this premonition, and
that all Pacific avenue property is
valued higher just at present than
ever before
At meeting Of the United syndi-
Gates company, limited, held wednes-
day, the following permanent officers
and directors were elected: Epes
Randolph, Los Angeles, president
w. j. Doran, vice president; Morris
Wilson, second vice president; p. e.
Hatch, treasurer; N. Emmett May,
secretary. Arrangements have been
made with the Long Beach National
bank to be made the company's de-
pository. An application will be made
at once, the officers say, to change
the charter so as to call for seven di-
rectors instead Of five, with the inten-
ton of putting two more Long Beach
men upon the board.
The firm of Lazenby, Fitch & Bar
ron last week sold three ranches near
Compton, aggregating about twenty
acres, for $4,000 The purchasers will
subdivide. This firm is also almost
ready to announce the closing of a
similar deal for $4,000.
The Shaw-Fllnt company announces
that the grading in Belmont Heights
is almost completed. Every lot in the
tract has been thus improved, side
walks and curbing having been al
ready put in or contracted for. The
Heights command a beautiful view
and are very popular, more than
5000, 900 worth of the property having
been sold since the middle of Feb
ruary.
The Los Angeles Dock and Terminal
company officials have announced
their intention to add a third dredger
to the two now engaged in the dredg-
ing of the new harbor The new
dredger will arrive early in July.
Johnson's Ocean View tract of Sig
nal Hill has just been subdivided. The
property lies one block from the car
line and is within a few minutes ride
of Long Beach. The streets will all
be graded and Oiled cement sidewalks
put down and water and gas piped to

LONG BEACH

The Greater Long Beach Improve
ment club is making progress toward
the end which it has had in view
since its organization, namely the
reclamation of the several thousands
of acres in the so-called Willows dis
trict, along the San Gabriel river. At
a meeting of the club on Thursday
night the map prepared by C. c.
Gully, civil engineer, showing the dis
trict which would be benefited by, the
improvements which are proposed, was
accepted and will be forwarded to the
supervisors along with a petition ask
ing that the district so described be
declared an assessment district
The improvements contemplated
comprise the dredging and cleaning out
of the old channel of the San Gabriel
river so that the flood waters will re-
vert to this, their former course, in
stead of overfiowing about 5000 acres
of land in the vicinity of Willows, as
now occurs each rainy season. If this
land is reclaimed as planned it will
increase enormously in value and will
comprise a most inviting section.
