value for the money is proved by the sales Of
Arbuckles' ARlOSA Coffee in one pound
packages which exceed the combined sales of
all other packaged coffee in the United States.
There was more ARIOSA Coffee drank in the
United States during year than the entire
coffee consumption of Great Britain, Russia and
Italy together for the same period. We drink
it ourselves with the best coffee in the world to
choose from.

market. 1t is further reported that the
Industrial Realty company has unlim-
tied capital at its command, and that
immense sums are to be expended in
the Improvement of north side tracts,
and in the purchase of acreage on the
south side of Hollenbeck avenue, east
of the Hostetter tract, which embraces
about $50 acres
Rumors are in circulation to the ef-
feet that several important industries
are to be established in the near fu-
ture south of Hollenbeck avenue, and
that a townsite will be established at
some point southeast of Boyle Heights
on the line of the Salt Lake railroad.
Ample Funds Available
Eastern capitalists, representing $40,
000,000, are said to be interested in the
extension of the Seventh street car
line, the purchase of acreage and the
development of the proposed industrial
district.
1t is not believed that the new line
will be extended further east on
Seventh street than Boyie avenue, but
from Boyle avenue east to the Odd
Fellows cemetery, just west of the city
limits. Seventh street will be opened
and the street improved in fine style.
1t is stated by Mr.. Welch that a fine
Sleel OIldSG, W Inc tAllSO SlICCl
bridge, will span the Los Angeles river
at Seventh street. The money is ready
for the improvement, which will be in
augurated at an early date.
The Industrial Realty company, it is
said, is not especially anxious to build
and operate the new railway line, but
in case the line is not made part of
the Huntington system the realty COM
pany will put the road in operation.
Short Line to Whittier
1t is also stated that surveys have
been made for the extension of the
Ninth street car line from the inter
section of Ninth street and Long Beach
avenue on nearly straight line to
Whittier. The Improvement will serve
to lessen the running time to Whittier.

miles. and will open up new section

Los Angeles herald., 1906-08-05

The early extension of the Seventh
street electric car line from the inter-
section of Seventh and Broadway
across the river into the lower half of
the Ninth ward, more Familiarity known
as Boyle Heights, has caused rumors
as to the opening of new residence and
industrial tracts to fly fast and furi-
Gus.
The city council has sold the fran
chise for the extension to M. Welch
of the Wilcox building for $1,000. Had
there been any competition for the
possession of the valuable franchise it
is believed that Mr. Welch and his as
Sociates would have bid up the price to
$4,000 or $4,000, or even higher figures
to obtain the coveted right to build the
line.
Railway Extension Plans
The franchise granted means the
building of the line from Broadway
across the river to Boyle avenue on the
bluff above the fiat district, thence
north about 1000 feet to connect with
the double track now in operation on
Stephenson avenue, and also from the
intersection of Seventh street and Boyle
avenue south on Boyle avenue four
blocks to Hollenbeck avenue, thence on
Hollenbeck avenue east to Indiana
avenue, the city limits.
Early speculation as to the plans and
purposes of Mr.. Wech and his asso-
ciates was to the effect that the rail-
way extension was desired to give the
residents of Boyle Heights more direct
transportation facilities to and from
the central business district of the city
and to relieve the traffic on the First
street line. In addition to the trans
portation feature it was also suggested
that W. 1. Hollingsworth & Co., with
other firms desired to develop indus
trial tracts across the river near the
bluffs.
Rumors of New Industries
1t is learned that Mr.. Welch repre-
sents the Industrial Realty company Of

a number of valuable tracts on the

Land East of Euclid Avenue Brings
$4,000 an Acre-PIans Fine
Addition

Increased activity on the part of in
vesting corporations and individuals
in acreage and residence property in
the Boyle Heights section is noticed
each week, and since it has been an
nounced that the franchise of the Sew
enth street car line to connect with
the Stephenson avenue line, the fran
chise also giving the right to operate
cars on Hollenbeck avenue east of the
city limits, there has been a scramble
to acquire all acreage possible for sub
division purposes.
Among the notable deals of the past
week was the sale of seventeen and
one-half acres in Boyle Heights for
S35 900 to Walter b. Thompson, who
will improve the tract and place the
lots on the market. The acreage lies
east of Euclid avenue and between
Stephenson and Hollenbeck avenues,
convenient to the electric car line. The
land lies nice and high, commanding
a splendid view of the mountains and
surrounding country.

INSURANCE IN MISSOURI.
superintendent vandiver Gives Promise 0f Honest Dealing,


 Jefferson City. Mo, Jan. 1.-Superin- tendent Vandiver of the State Insurance Department tonight gave out a state ment concerning insurance matters in which he declares that he will hold insurance companies to their promises to stop the practice Of relating and that 1t is very gratifying to him to know that the insurance companies have decided to stop the practice Of writing special contracts. The state ment follows:
 ''rhe New Year opens with the pros pect of a number of practical improve ments in the methods of insurance bus mess outside of the reforms that should come from the New York investigation. For instance, several of the large com pani6s have assured me that they will cooperate with our department in the effort to. stop the practice of relating. In fact. they assure me that they will discharge any agent found guilty of this practice. and I expect to hold them to 1t on the first case that is brought to my attention after this date and before the companies get their H. censes renewed March 1.
 It Is also gratifying to be able to state that the Missouri companies have decided to stop the practice of writing board contracts or outside special con tracts which. though they have not been considered illegal. are not best ap- proved by the best insurance authori- ties. This will make 1t easier to stop the practice of outside companies. Honest business is to be the motto In Missouri this year."

He says, however, that these differences of opinion probably are ex- aggerated and that they are matters more of verbal distinction than of po- litical importance.

 She had heen arrested after drinking laudanum and turning on the gas in her apartments in a down town hotel. She told a police magistrate that the desire to kill herself was a sudden and irresistible one She sent out for a vial of Iaudanum for an imaginary toothache, drank the poison and turned on the gas. maid detected the ,odor of the escaping gas in the halls and called an attendant, who broke down the door to tho room.
 When Miss Tantonia was arraigned in police court today, charged with att tempted suicide she said her father was for many years the Prefect of Po- lice of Warsaw. He died eight months ago, leaving fortune in money and eleven children.

 She said her mother took her from the school and sent her to one in Ber- lin. This school did not suit the girl and she ran away to gay Paris. After two days stay in Paris she decided to visit the United States. She hadswrit- ten her mother of her proposed visit to this country and received s70o to cover her expenses.
