Net waists are very pretty and are
not too dressy to veal with tailor
gowns.
Spats bid fair to be worn all winter,
but they must ft like a charm to be at
all attractive.
New short p%etticoats of white china
silk, made for the prettiest trousseau,
have flowers embroidered in English
eyelet designs.
Iridescent effects are suggested in
gold and silver beltings. In N light
the betting shows nothing but gold; in
another it breaks into two or three
shimmering shades.
The empire style has made a deep i'm
preston on winter fashions, and no
woman need be afraid Of having an
evening gown or coat destined to be
worn to the end of the season made
after empire models. There 10 every
indication that the style will last over
into the summer IL not longer.-Nsw

COUNTY ROCK CRUSHER
PROVING SATISFACTORY
Roads Torn Up by Automobile Tires Are Being
Repaired and Good ROlds All Over Los
Angeles County, Made With Big
Machine. Are Assured

From a report received by the county
board of supervisors during the past
week. the great steam rock breaker
which was purchased by the county
several months ago, has been found to
do most satisfactory work and perma-
nent roads for Los Angeles county are
now assured.
The plan for permanent roads has
been under consideration by the county
supervisors for some time past, es-
pecially since they found that nothing
they could do would hold the county
roads together for anything like the
ordinary time.
The question of permanent roads was
first taken up last March by the mem
bers of the board and a fund set aside
for the purchase of a great steam
rock crusher The orusher was or
dered from San Francisco and was
supposed to reach Los Angeles about
the first Of May The northern dis
aster, however spoiled the plans for
the machine, as the firm where the
crusher was being made went up In
flame and smoke.
Order Second Time
Nothing daunted at the delay and
loss the supervisors Immediately sent
their order for the crusher to an east
ern company and three weeks ago the
apparatus reached Los Angeles and
was set up near Samuel Maiers pack
ing house on the Old Mission road.
The crusheF has been the object OF
much curiosity by the county people
during the last three weeks and many
Los Angeles herald., 1906-10-28

been waiting for so many months, ar
rived in Los Angeles about three
weeks ago and as an experiment we
installed the big engine near the Old
Mission road just the other side OF
the Maier packing house. 1 went out
there to inspect the crusher after il
had been installed and found it to
be in perfect working order. For my
own satisfaction climbed up on the
crusher while it was at work turning
out its full capacity of many tons of
crushed rock and while l expected a
jar to the machinery, there was none
and the crusher was perfectly solid.
So that l think the county will suffer
but little expense for new machinery
during the next year or so in the
establishment of permanent country
roads.
"Of course the purchase of this rock
crusher was just the beginning of our
work, and now that 1t is we'll under
way l, for one, am anxiously waiting
for reports We received our first re-
port from the men at work on the
crusher yesterday afternoon and it
shows that permanent roads will be
established in Los Angeles county in
the near future.
'As for the permanent road fund,
/ am not as yet quite certain what
that sum will be. When the question
was taken up in March an estimate
was made and $4,000 mentioned. We
may fix upon that figure for perma =
nent roads or we may make even a
higher figure"
