Los Angeles herald., 1906-04-08

Citizens of Los Angeles, from the
mayor to the man employed by the
street department, are now crying
loudly for all-night car service.
Everyone, from the pleasure seeker
to the workingman, is now demanding
that the street railway companies pro-
vide a means by which they can get
to their homes after midnight.
The people are asking themselves,
"Can the trolley magnates refuse us
this small request when they are ask
ing so much for themselves?"
The people of Los Angeles are look
ing forward to the time when there
shall be a Greater Los Angeles, but
will that time ever come without the
proper street car service?
Los Angeles today stands pre-emi-
nent among the cities of not only the
United States, but of the whole world
for two reasons chiefly
First, because it has the best climate
in the world.
Second on account of it's much
boasted best street railway system in
the world"
Tourists Are Astounded
Henry e. Huntington has proudly
said in a speech to his men that the
ambition of his life was achieved when
he was able to say that he had the
finest railway system in the world.
But has he any right to make such
an assertion when the system is far
behind the little cities of the east in
regard to late service?
The question of all-nght' cars might
be discussed in a number of different
phases.
Looking at it from the standpoint
of the tourist, late cars are one of
the greatest necessities for the ad-
vancement of Los Angeles.
When a traveller arrives on a be-
lated train the first question that he
asks of the depot master is, what
car shall ] take to get to this or that
hotel?"
With surprise he hears the railway
man say that the cars stopped running
at 1890 oNlock.
Invariably he asks himself, "Is this
city or country village?'

gets of Los Angeles is not a favorable
one, and it is said that first impress
sions are the most lasting ones.
Finally the tourist arrives at the
hotel by walking or by hiring a cab
or other conveyance.
The next night he is at the beach
and is enjoying himself until he finds
that he has fingered too long to arrive
in Los Angeles by the last car and
remains at the beach hotel all night
and plans for the next morning are
spoiled.
The tourist usually has a limited
time to remain in the city and desires
to see as much and have as good a
time as possible during that time, and
is 10th to hurry home at midnight.
Does not Los Angeles owe something
to the tourist from whom she derives
so much?

Los Angeles herald., 1906-04-08
Workers Need Opportunity

DO not the street railways owe some
thing TO the tourist from whom they
collect so many dollars?
On the other hand there is the work
lngman, who is a permanent citizen and
without whom the city could not exist.
He cannot afford to buy property in
the city because it is too high. If he
works late at night he cannot reach
his home in the suburbs, should he
buy one there.
What is the consequence?
Today there is an army of men who
are working for salaries and living
III tenement houses and in cramped
quarters.
They are longing for the time when
they may be permitted to have homes
of their own out in the suburbs where
thelr children can play in the pure
country air.
Nor is this condition as bad now as
1T viii be when the city shall have
reached the half million mark toward
which 1t is approaching with giant
strides.
Less Fortunate Than the East
Los Angeles is a cosmopolitan city
in many respects. 1t has fine hotels
beautiful residences and is a thrifty
business city, but there is something
which it lacks
What?
Late car service that is possessed by
the fortunate little country village of
25. 600 in the east.
Everey day the people are saying:
1--WE would live in the suburbs or at
the beaches if we could get home at
night.
1--WE want to get where property is
cheaper and have homes of our own,
but we couldn't get there at night if
we owned them"

RET|RES FROM SERVICE
REGRET AT BLOOMINGTON
Isaac Jenkinson Of Richmond has
Served as Trustee for Period Longer
Than Any Other Man-Succeeded
by James e. Watson.

These are the closing days of the
official relationship between Indiana
University and Isaac Jenkinson, of
this city, as a result of his resignation
as trustee going into effect. A dis
patch from Bloomington says:
Amid all the joys and sorrows Of
commencement week those who have
the interests of old Indiana close at
heart speak with regret of the retire
ment after forty years of continuous
service as a member of the Board Of
Trustees of Isaac Jenkinson of Rich
mond, Ind, who will voluntarily re-
linquish his office at the close of the
present school year. 1t is with pleas
ure, however, that another strong
man will succeed Mr.. Jenkinson-
James E. Watson of Rushville.
Mr. Jenkinson was made member
of the board in 1866, and for the last
seventeen years has been its presi-
dent 1t was largely through his eff
forts and influence that the institu-
ton was made coeducational in 1868.
To him also credit is largely due for
the establishment of more intimate
relation between the university and
the high schools of the State, by which
high school graduates are allowed to
enter college without examination.
The high schools were first commits
stoned in 1878. While Mr.. Jenkinson
was q member of the board the Ques-
ton of relocation of the university
came up. He advocated the present
location, obtained majority OF votes

moved to the new site in 1884.
In 1889 he was elected president Of
the board. The year of his election
the law school, which had been discon-
tinued thirteen years before, was re-
vived. During his presidency also the
courses Of study have been changed
from prescribed to elective, and con-
tingent fees have been abolished and
tuition made free. He has been presi-
dent of the board throughout the pro-
gressive administration of DR.. Jordan,
DR.. Coulter, DR.. Swain and Dr. Bryan,
and has always worked in perfect har-
mony with their views. He retires
from the presidency of the board with
the warmest friendship of all it's mem
bers and of the entire faculty of the
university.

three men supposed to be the Mentor

Upon examination it was found that
the suspects were harvest hands going

The posse is now on its way back to

The posse started from Crookston
yesterday morning on receipt of toll

silver and $500 In stamps last night at
2 O'clock. The burglars secured en-

Fifty citizens of Selby, S. D., are

States Attorney Carl F. Clement. by
direction of the county commission
ers of Walworth county. This action
is another and perhaps the last act

sustained through the wrecking of the

Mica Factory Plans Clubs as Induce
nent to Get Employes

ment to Get Employees.
The managers of the new mica fac
tory at Custer are about to inaugurate
a novel scheme for the purpose of OBJ
tanning the extra help which they
would require. At present only about
fifty boys and girls can be obtained
and a number of these will quit work
when school begins next month.
AS the factory could use with profit
three or four times as many hands, it
has been decided to attempt to inn
port boys and girls from the larger
cities. To this end board and room
ing club, one for boys and one for
girls, is to be established by the COM
pany. 1t is estimated that board and
room can be furnished for $3.50 per
week. The minimum wage, even OF
the beginner, is GO cents per day.
1t is planned to put up substantial
sanitary buildings for the accommo-
dation Of the youthful workers; to
have baths, gymnasiums and other at
tractive features, and to have the
clubs in charge of responsible persons
who will look after the welfare of the
youthful employees.
The children employed range in age
from twelve to twenty years.

NEED LIGHT ON IRRIGATION LAW
Farmers Are Likely to Violate Stat
ute.

ute.
One clause of the irrigation law
passed at the last legislative session
evidently has not yet impressed itself
upon the farmers of South Dakota.
Section 1 of the act says: "All waters
within the limits of the state from all
sources of water supply not navigable
belong to the public, and are subject
to appropriation for beneficial use"
1t has been the csutom of farmers
all over the state, and especially in
the newly settled section west of the
river, to construct dams across the
draws" on their land for storage of
water for use on their farms. This is
held to be within the meaning of the
new law, and requires permit from
the state engineers before it can be
carried out, as all dams for that pur-
pose must be constructed under rules
provided for his department.. Any vio-
lation of the provisions of the act is
made a misdemeanor, punishable by
fine or imprisonment.
While a strict construction of the
law would affect practically the whole
state, it will be especially applicable
to the country west of the Missouri
river, where a large number of so
called water rights" have been filed.
These filings under the law, allowing
that manner of securing the public do
main, require the storage of specific
amount of water according to the size
of the tract secured. These storage
basins are to be of considerable size,
and under the state law must be con-
structed under the regulations of the
engineers Office. Most of these
filings have been made within re-
cent period, and the time in which
the work must commence to hold the
tracts is about expiring on many of
them. Those who desire to hold their
claims would do we'll to communicate
with State Engineer Lea at this city
before beginning their construction
work, to find what is required in the
way of dams for their work
