PECk'S DREAM is PRACTICAL
Salt Lake Railroad Official Solves
Difficult Problem in His Sleep


The salt Lake road is issuing a pic
ture map of Southern California which
will be distributed throughout the east.
r. c. Peck, assistant general passenger
agent, for some has been thinking that
it would be advisable to get out some
advertising that would interest people
i'll the east and get them to come here
during the summer.
One night about two weeks ago he
came to the conclusion that he must
decide the next day as to what the ad-
vertising should be. He retired after
giving the matter considerable thought
and during the night dreamed of the
idea which now is being carried out
by the Salt Lake road.
The map is merely a number of beau
tifully colored poster pictures compiled
in pamphlet form and indicative of the
place which they represent.
Los Angeles will be represented by
a western girl walking along some
popular street with the sunshine playing
around her. Riverside will be pointed
out as the home of the famous Glen
wood inn.
A picture of the surf bathers will
be shown for the purpose of enticing
the people to San Diego and Hotel Del
Coronado. A tourist holding up "A large
fish nearly as long as he is will tell
the tale of the pleasure that is to be
found at Catalina. The pamphlet will
contain many other attractive features
and will not only advertise the Salt
Lake but at the same time will picture
Southern California in its best light.
Those who are permitted to see the
booklet will undoubtedly congratulate te
Mr.. Peck upon his ability to dream.

line from Volcan siding in the Kern
river fields to Delano, a distance OF
thirty-one miles, has been completed
and this morning the line was put into
regular operation by the railroad
company. ,.
It is officially stated that the line,
by means of single pumping station
at the Kern river end, is delivering
approximately sixty carloads of Oil
at .Delano daily. Measurement sta
tions equipped with the most delicate
instruments for recording pressures
are established at ten points along
the line for the purpose of locating
weak spots.
The oil being pumped is unheated,
but is mixed with 10 per cent of water
to secure more effective action of the
rifiing in the pipe. An average pres
sure of 700 pounds is used to force the
oil through the pipe, put it is officially
stated that the line will easily stand

SHOWING THE OREGONIANS

A delegation of Oregonians, not long
ago, came on a visit to Southern Cal
ifornia and were so delighted, not to
say amazed, by what they saw, that
their tongues have been wagging of
our glories to their home folks ever
since. And now the Oregonians are
sending another party, to look into
the causes of our marvellous develop
ment and growth, with the avowed
object of throwing out inducements to
eastern tourists, seeking to have them
go to Oregon instead of coming here.
of course, Southern California in
general and Los Angeles in particular
will extend a most hearty welcome to
the visitors from the webfoot country
up north. Los Angeles always has
the latchstring out for every desirable
visitor and knows her northern neigh
hors are in that class. And Los An
geles will do all in her power to show
them the causes . of her wondrous
growth and her tremendous pull on
the tourist trade All these facts are

seeking them Los Angeles has no Sc
cret methods, no underground ways,
and anyone is welcome to her
"schemes" who desires them
But it would be well for all would
be imitators to take into consideration
one or two facts before they waste
time, money and effort trying to steal
Los Angeles thunder. In the first
place, another city, to compete with
Los Angeles and Southern California,
must have a climate of equal @" su-
perior attractivenass. As none such
exists, that at once puts quietus upon
any such ambitious hopes. Then a
would-be rival must offer greater OPP
portunity for wealth making, and
where does such present itself? Then,
as to innate beauty, desrability, facil-
tiles for enjoyment, health, surround
ings-all these are e-eminently char
acteristic of Los Angeles, and other
places may as well admit that in them
and many others this city'is unique
Hence, Los Angeles can afford gladly
to welcome all investigators along
these lines and TO give them comfort,

SAVING GRACE OF HUMOR

Humor is the salt of life. The saving
grace of a good laugh will often avert
a tragedy.
Point is given to these platitudes by
the exceedingly happy outcome of the
Scharrer- Busch episode, promised in
their wedding today. There was a
situation fraught with dangerous, even
tragic, possibilities. Begun in re-
ported gunplay, the romance fof the
brewers daughter and the kaiser's
lieutenant gave every promise of being
a choice morsel to the "yellows," and
of eliminating in a deicacy of situa-
ton requiring the utmost skill to steer
safely to a proper and happy conclu-
sion. The country rang with the af-
fair; every move of the principals was
watched and speculated upon, and
when they finally reached the sunny
southland of California the hawk-eyed
scandal-mongers were close at their
heels, with the scent of carrion in
their very nostrils.
And then, along comes Herr
Adolphus Busch leisurely and quietly,
in his private car. Aha! Now will
things be doing! And the reporters
cluster closely about to hear the eX-
plosive wrath of the mighty Deutscher
as he catches sight of the soldier man.
But, when the two do meet, what
happens? They grasp hands, calculate
"gesundheit!" and "Prosit!" and a few
ff,,ar
throng, they laugh heartily at each
other and at the great sensation" and
especially at the harpies and declare it
is all one huge joke-nicht wahr? And
nothing more!
All, Herr Busch. you possess the real
secret of life and happiness. Did more
poke a good joke and a hearty laugh
at the bugbears of existence life would
be a lot easier to live.
