BACILLI OF UNREST
 AND DISAPPOINTMENT l
With Which T. ". Chamberlain Found Los Angeles to he Infected.

T. W. Chamberlain, whose close at tention to home and business affairs for the last fifteen years entitled him to a good, long rest, went over to the coast last week, spending Friday, Sat urday and Sunday in Los Angeles and vicinity, and returning home yesterday morning. He had a splendid time. He saw more in Los Angeles in one day than some people could see in a trip around the world, beside all that he saw at night. In fact. he was seeing things all the time. And the rest he got would have killed man with an ordinary constitution. Talk about germs says MT. Chamberlain, there are more mi erobes in Los Angeles city block than there are in the entire area of Maricopa county. The most virulent and deadly are the trouble germ" and the speed bacillus" both of which are exceedingly infectious and multiply under any and all conditions. The train must have run through a ''culturer farm some where near the city. for he discovered his infection before he had been in town ten minutes. He rode up from the station to his hotel immediately, but before he had reached the latter he had encountered a little mix-up that did not seem to disturb the Angelenos, but, ' verdant, he stopped to look He mo- ticed that there had been a collision between street car and the apparatus of the Los Angeles fire department. The driver of the engine had both legs broken and two horses were killed while the steamer itself was turned in- side out. The street car looked like Cervera's flagship after the little brush in Santiago bay.
 He went on to the hotel and washed up. but the bugs still kept him com pany. Before night he had encoun- tered an old friend who had just inn ported 150 fine blooded chickens from England, supposed to be worth $500 a pair, and the eggs from which were valued at S24 apiece. They all came through in good shape and had all been placed but three, one. of which was given to MT. Chamberlain, with the in- Junction that he could start a blooded chicken ranch in Arizona. On invest1- Eation he found the three were culls and his was the poorest one. It was also rooster. He kept it two days and did not get an egg, so he sent it out to where his family was stopping, in the suburbs of Pasadena, with in structfons to cook 1t for dinner.
 The next morning he started for a street car ride, but did not get more than three blocks before the car he was on telescoped an automobile. killed a man and scattered wreckage all over the street. That spoiled his appetite for riding, and he continued his jour uey on foot. He had not gone far until he found himself in the middle of the street, looking up the canyon walls admiring things. A policeman tapped him on the shoulder and requested him to move on or get an automobile. He was tying up the entire Huntington electric system and impeding the com- merciaI progress of southern Cali fornia. The street cars were not per mitted to run down anything but auto mobiles, and, anyhow, the motormen did not wish to mash him up and grease the track. Then he got a hack and went back to the hotel.
 After luncheon he made another start for a car ride, but the result was practically the same. The only differ ence was that this time an automobile ran into the car. But only a city resi- dent who was familiar with such things could have told the difference from tho wreck that ensued. He doesn't know if anybody was killed this time or not. but he hopes so, Anyhow, he didn't get
