TOURISTS COME WEST;
DON'T RETURN EAST
RAILROAD AND HOTEL MEN
Z DoU5LE BUSINESS
With the Shriners and Fiesta COM
ing Soon, the Rush Will Be a
Continuous One Until Mid
summer

Inc greatest tourist trade In the his
tory or the southwest is predicted for
Los Angeles this year by western rail
road managers, and during the coming
season IL Is expected that nearly dou-
ple the number entertained here last
season Will arrive In the city.
Inc season began several weeks early
TINS year, and as soon as the west
pound tourist rate was opened in Sen
TEMPER extra trains were required 70
accommodate the crowds.
More than 100000 tourists visited los
angeles last year, and that number has
nearly been equaled up to the present
e VI tnls season, while the heavy
few months. 'AN '4eA'
&c IS expected that the tourist trade
VIII continue throughout the year FOR
as soon as the regular season is over
the spring meeting of the Shriners and
the great fiesta will be held, and that
Will bring thousands more to the CITY.
Inc surprising thing about the rail-
ROAD business this year is that there
are only very few people going east. .
said Passenger Agent Van Horn of the
Union Pacific yesterday.
or course during every season.
there are bound to be some people who
nave great desire to go back east
and visit their folks, but even this
business toward the east is praeticaIiv
at a standstill.
But as for the incoming tourists.
wei, the local hotels can make a re-
port that would make even the most
skeptical easterner stare with amaze
nent.
II think that the present season will
be the greatest for tourist trade In fbe
history OF the southwest, and the re-
markable part about IL all is that thou
sands of these tourists are selling their
Tickets and preparing to stay here"

came so impressed with their method
of identified ton that he decided to make
it prominent feature Of his own
agency in America. Since his return
to America last fall the method has
been installed in his Chicago agency
and has since proved it's value.
The police of all the cities of the
United States and the Pinkertons work
together in the identification OF GRIM
inals and consequently the local au-
thorities have access to the Pinkerton
Identification bureaus throughout the
United States.
The local authorities have declared
their intention OF closely following up
the clew which they have in their pos
session and believe that with the pres
ent careful investigation and compar-
ison with the Pinkertons' bureau in
Chicago they will be able to learn the
identity OF the robber.

BLOODY THUMB
LEAVES IMPRINT
MAY LEAD 70 FINDING OF
BURGLAR
Cut His Hand on Glass in Struggle
With Plucky House Girl
in Orchard Avenue
Home

The imprint made by bloody thumb
upon a handkerchief has given the
police a clew to the identity to the
burglar that robbed the residence of
w. w. Lovett at $500 Orchard avenue
last Friday night of $500 worth Of
jewelry.
Although the local police make no eff
fort to keep records of finger impress
sions of criminals they believe they will
be able to gain a clew to the identity
OF the robber that entered the Lovett
residence by comparison to the Pink
ertons' identification bureau in Chic
cago. where the finger prints of all
criminals are kept In the most complete
manner.
AS the burglar struggled to free him
self from the grasp Of Miss Lena Brad
ner, the servant at the Lovett residence
who discovered the burglar and with
whom she bravely fought to save the
valuables OF her employers, the in
truder dropped the handkerchief. The
presence OF the blood upon the hand
kerchief is due 10 the breaking of the
glass of the window through which
the burglar dragged the young woman
in making his escape

tions of the ruins are composed, have
 withstood the destructive effect of thl
 wind in wonderful manner. but in the older ruins we often find that the
 walls facing the wind have entirely disappeared, and only the side walls re. main, while in still older ruins only one or two solitary pinnacles remain to mark what were once large, massive and extensive buildings.
 The wind has buried large tracts of the country under sand. Many of the old ruined towns are wholly or partly buried in sand. and this buying process goes on all the year and every year and Is covering up not only valuable lands, but inhabited villages. In Selstan, as elsewhere, the invading army of sand Is preceded by lines of skirmishers in the form of travelling "burkhans." horseshoe shaped sand hills. which steadily advance until they meet some obstacle which retards them until the reserves come up to their support and bury all before them under hills of sand.
 On our arrival in Selstan we found Kilainau, big and fiourishing village. built on the south side of q high ridge sor protection from the wind. Before we left the sand had attacked that ridge, surmounted It and buried the village. forcing the inhabitants to build new village elsewhere. An example of still greater rapidity was afforded at the village of Kilaikohna. Up to June, 1904, this village had a large. deep pond on its northern side. By September-that Is. less than three months-thIs deep pond was converted Into sand hill some ten feet high.
 The wind. however. did not confine It's energy to burying only. While 1t covers some tracts deep in sand. 1t also sweeps other tracts clear of sand. ren- dering valuable land available for cul- sivation ard exposing long buried ruins once more to view. These are. how ever, only the milder effects of wind action. The Seistan wind in its more destructive moods has In places re. moved not only sand from place 10 place. but has secured away the whole face of the country. Everywhere we find the sides and banks of the canals which irrigated the lands on which the dwellers of the old ruins depended leff standing like walls high above the pres ent surface of the surrounding land.

PLANT RETARDATIoN.
The Method of Praducing Flowers
 Out of Season.

i The Method of Praducing FlOwers l Out of Season.
 Lilies of the valley and many other plants are now placed on the markets of the worlds great cities months aft CT they are out of season. This Is ac. complished by "plant retardatifm," [" holding back the development by means of cold and darkness until what ever time k desired. Then they arc once more subjected to light and warmth. when they blossom. The most prominent feature of a plant re- tardation establishment is the huge cold storage building in which tho plants are slowed away. Under the care of the guide the visitor passes the portals. In moment he steps from the warmth and light of a summers day into the cold bitterness of . win ter's night, the darkness of which b but feebly relieved by the nickering hand lanterns. The interior of tho building is divided Into various cham bers. and each one of these 10 allotted to some particular kind of plant. 0ns chamber is full of lily of the valley roots. the next is packed with boxes containing lillum bulbs. while again compartment is crammed with small potted plants of azalea and spiraea.
 Each and all of these varieties are In a dormant condition. sleeping away their time entirely unconscious of the changing seasons in the outside world. The walls of the chambers are thickly coated with deposit of frost crystals. and millions of these flash like dia- monds in response to the rays of light from the lamp. The degree of cold is usually obtained by means of . com pressed air apparatus. and the frcez- ing current is led Into the different chambers through wooden channels.
 In course of time these passages get shcked with hoarfrost. and 1t becomes necessary for a man to enter them and clean the accumulation away. This is a cold Job. In places the temperaturs Is as low as % degrees below zero. The costume of a workman engaged in this clearing out operation is prnc- tically an arctic outfit. Every part of the body with the exception of small holes for eyes and mouth must be protected with thick wool Other. wise serious frostbites would ensue.
 Retarded plants may be kept in check for eight months or at times as long as a year. and curiously enough they do not seem to be any the worss for the treatment Indeed. the experi- ence seems to make them grow all tho faster when they are allowed to make . start Some varieties grow at . Ire mendous rate when they are brought into heat.-Cbicago News.
