In an interview Mr.. Mott said that he
could not see anything but prosperity for
Los Angeles and the entire southern ter
ritory, 1t used to be SAID Of this city

build a great metropolis But today that
assertion would be ridiculous. With the

pahs to our door, with cheap fuel that
is placing us prominently as a manufac-

Vantages that we had before, of climate,

reason why we should not be counted in

bring a vast addition to our already
great commercial interests The ports Of
the orient of Mexico and South America
will find this their nearest point of COM
munication with the great cities of the
United States.
With this added business our popua-

metropolis, stretching from the noun

probabilities. Los Angeles is destined 10

Mr.. Amos has had remarkably sue
cessful career in a unique enterprise
Coming to Los Angeles III December 1901
this energetic young man, believing Los
Angeles to be the greatest tourist city
in the world, started in the newspaper
vending business. He realized that thou
sands of people visiting here from all the
cities in the country would naturally be
anxious for their home papers He Sc
cured two push carts, with racks for dis
playing the papers, and made arrange
ments for daily papers from all the prin-
cipal cities in the United States and
Canada.
His plan succeeded so admirably that
he was soon compelled to add other carts,
locating them on all the prominent busi-
ness corners At the present time-less
than two years since Mr. Amos COM
menced his busness-he has ten news
paper carts doing thriving trade in this
city besides others in Long Beach, San
Diego, Oakland and San Francisco. He
employs fourteen people in Los Angeles
alone.

G. (. Hazard, Burrouah Adding Ma
chine

Modern inventions have revolutionizsd
the commercial and manufacturing
worlds. The linotype machine has given
new life TO the printing business, as the
Burrough adding machine has simpli-
fed the work of account tants. Whether
these inventions are a blessing or other
wise to mankind remains as yet a ques-
tion, burt II is certain that they shorten
means of giving man more leisure i'm
which to improve his mind and enjoy
the pleasures of life.
The Burrough adding machine is a sim
Pile arrangement, but it has all the accll-
racy Of an expert accountant In banks
and commercial houses IL has become in
dlspenSable. For stock taking in large
mercantile houses 1t has been found a
rapid medium with which to accomplish
this arudous task. 1t works silently ac-
ourately and rapidly; never tires and is

having been in all the leading cities of
the United States and Canada and he
declares there is no place like Los An
geles-either in business way or as a
home town.
One of the remarkab BILE things about
Los Angeles Is that people who have
lived here but a few short years or even
less call It home-glving up allegiance TO
the old home city back east-and thor
oughly satisfied to remain here and iden-
tfy themselves with the citys interests.
It would be difficult thing for Cali
fornians to go east and in short period. if
ever. cali any eastern city home. But
California, with its fascinating clima te
its delicious fruits and glorious flowers
wins all comers. The winters I'm Cali
fornia-partouarly in the southern por-
ton OF the state-are mild and delightful,
the summers are balmy and comforta b. y

people are contented and happy.

BANK CLEARINGS
SHOW GROWTH
OFFICIAL FIGURES FOR 1906
BREAK ALL RECORDS
Volume Of Business for Six Months
Attracts the Attention Of the
Financial World-All Banks
Are Prosperous

Los Angeles, with population of
2SO, 900 energetic and prosperous people,
is a leader in volume of business trans
acted through the banks, as shown by
the clearings. The official comparative
table given below is an interesting
study that must appeal forcbly to
the conservative business man, indi-
eating as it does that Los Angeles Is q
city of great business activity and
lmatchless progress:
Payment through the local banks in
June, 1906, amounted to $45,599 $50, an
increase of $6,296. 70S over the corre-
spending month last year, and of $17,-
5S4,7o7 over June, 1904.
The clearings for the first six months
Of the calendar year were $2S6,254,140, as
against $685. AIS for the correspond
ing period in 1905. The increase over
last year is $59,959, 722, or about 80 per
cent. The gain over the first six months
of 1904 is $117647 3S1.
If the record for the last half of the
current year is equal to that of the
first six months, the local clearings
will amount to $572, sos, $50.
Breaks All Records
Local bank clearings in 1906 were the
largest on record up to that time, but
it is certain now that the total for last
year will be exceeded by several mill
lion dollars and make 1906 the banner
year of Los Angeles in this respect
The showing by months for the first
half of 1906, together with comparisons
with the two previous years, is as fol-

The Santa Fe railroad company has made the following rates on ore ship ments from Chloride to Needles and Humbolt. These rates are the same as from Kingman and are the best ever put out since the building of the railroad through this county.

Do it To-day.

The time-worn injunction, ''Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today" is now generally presented in this form: Do it today :" That is the terse advice we want to give you about that hacking cough or demoralizing cold with which you have been strug- gling for several days, perhaps weeks. Take some reliable remedy for it today and let that remedy be Dr. Boschee's German Syrup, which has been in use for over thirty-five years. A few doses of it will undoubtedly relieve your cough or cold, and its continued use for a few days will cure you complete ly. No matter how deep seated your cough. even if dread consumption has attacked your lungs, German Syrup will surely effect a cure-as it has done before in thousands of apparently hopeless cases of lung trouble.

Kinsman Will Celebrate.

The people of Kingman have decid- ed to celebrate the Fourth of July in a way that will put all other celebra- tions of hat day in the shade. One thousand dollars has already been sub scribed to the fund and more will come in. Alfred VerMehr, one of the best directors of affairs of this kind in the territory, has been prevailed upon to take charge of the celebration and has consented. This insures the sue cess of Kingman's celebration. He is hard at work mapping out the special features for the two or three days frolic, and assigning the participants their different stunts. The features of this years celebration are to be spectacular, realistic and enjoyable. There will be the usual cowboy tourn- aments, Indian parades, balloon as tensions, daylight fireworks, Japanese wrestling, ball games, limited races, horse racing, and some spectacular stunts that have not yet been featured. It is probable that three days will be consumed in the jollification, but il will be worth coming a long distance to see and take part in.

The New Mexico Fair association has sent out notices to people holding claims against the association to send them in at once to its office in Albu- querque and receive payment.

The Santa Fe railroad company has opened a gravel pit in the canyon south of Kingman and has put in a steam shovel for the purpose of load ing the cars with gravel for ballast.
 All the roadbed between Blackberry and Franconia is to be ballasted and later oiled. Much of this roadbed was composed of clayey soil that became boggy during wet weather. The use of gravel for ballast is expected to remedy the defect. It is expected that a large number of men will be en- ployed in the work for several months.

Larry Holmes, engineer of the sec ond engine on the east bound passen- ger train, which was wrecked at Fran conia in 1901, who was gwen a judg- ment for 9,OOOS in the Federal court at Los Angeles a few years ago, had the judgment affirmed by the supreme court of the United States last week. Holmes came out of the wreck physic- ally and mentally broken. The wreck, it will be remembered, was one of the worst in the history of the Santa Fe railroad. The two limited trains went together at Franconia, thirty-four miles west of Kingman, on the morn- ing of the l4th of November, 1901. The west bound train was running at the speed of 72 miles an hour and the , east bound train la double-header) at 45 miles per hour. The west bound engine was totally dismantled, the boiler being thrown half the length of the train. The first east-bound engine was thrown from the track on its side, the second engine getting the full force of the impact and was left a mass of broken scrap. The boiler exploded, tearing the shell to atoms and leaving the fues sticking out mass of twist ed and broken pipes. Eight people are known to have lost their lives, all being in the train service. Strange tC say, not one of the passengers were even disturbed by the shock of the impact.
