the support OF Edward Rosewater in the re-

MAKE ROGERS TALK

The impudent Mr.. Rogers, head Of the
Standard Oil company, has been cited
to the New York supreme court to tell
why he will not answer legitimate
questions put to him Of right by the
attorney general Of Missouri. Mr.. Rog-
ers has declined to reply to the legal
inquiries of this attorney and has
sneerngly asked what the attorney
general is going to do about it The
latter is now in process Of replying.
II is to be hoped that the New York
supreme court will inform the impu-
dent Mr.. Rogers that he, Rogers, Is a
mere human being like the rest of us;
that his great wealth and his power,
backed by that Of the Standard ON
do not exempt him either from the
customary requirements Of the law, or
from its processes and its punish
ments when the law is defied. Rogers
has defed the law-indeed, has been do
ing so for years-and has laughed at It..
The time has come to check the i'm
pertinent Rogers up right sharp and
compel him to obey its mandates.
There is a popular suspicion that a
man Of Rogers wealth is above legal
jurisdictions that he may defy the law
with impunity. and that his money will
permit him to escape This belief has
been strengthened by so many cases
wherein this very thing has happened
that the general public accepts it
prima facie. 1t is to be hoped that the
New York supreme court will not be
overawed by the Standards billions
nor bluffed by the Rogers sneer, but
will see it's way clear to make this
impertinent law-deier and sarcastic
freebooter answer the legitimate ques-
manner.

HOTEL GOSSIP
W. Il. Edwards Here

w. H. Edwards of Greeley Colo, one
of the four men who have made the
trip by boat on the Color do river from
Green River, Utah, to the tidewater
at the gulf of California, is in Los
Angeles.
MI Edwards is manager of the
Greeley Ice and Light company and of
the w. H. Edwards & co. wholesale
firm of Greeley. Colo He is accom-
panied by Mrs. Edwards and two chill
dren and will remain in Los Angeles
during the remainder of the winter.
Mr.. Edwards made the first trip of
400 miles down the Colorado river six
teen years ago. He has. Il large collec-
ton of photographs of the canyons
which is probably the only collection
in the world taken from the river. One
remarkable picture is that of one of the
boats just as it was going over a 20
foot fall
During the trip, which consumed six
months time, one of the boats was lost
at the Cataract canyon and Mr.. Ed
wards says that they considered that
that they were most fortunate to
escape with their lives. At one place
they saw the high water mark, which
was ninety-three feet above the water
level of the river at that time.
The other men who have made the
same trip are Robert b. Stanton, Elmer
Kane and John Hyslop. Mr.. Hyslop
afterward went to Alaska and was the
engineer for the construction of the
Skagway 4 White railroad. He was
killed by being run over by railroad
train in Chicago a few years ago While
on his wedding trip.

LIGHTS FOR SIDE STREETS

The move of the property owners on
one Of the shorter down town side
streets to install the new ornamental
lighting posts and furnish electricity
for them, at their own expense, that
their region may emulate Broadway
and Spring street, is most commend
able, and should lead to plentiful
emulation on the part Of other side
streets farther up town.
That the city should at least furnish
the electricity for the down town orna-
mental lights goes without question,
as they are OF benefit to the whole city,
impartially. That the city cannot at
present do this is equally evident, in
its present financial status. Hence,
either the property owners must pay
for it or go without.
In the case Of long thoroughfares
property owners may feel some timidity
on the proposition, but on the short
side streets. especially between Broad
way and Spring street, there should
be none.
These blocks are SMALL they already
have the benefit of the corner lights
on both main thoroughfares, and a
couple. or at most four, lights between
the streets would put them in the
Broadway and Spring street class. AS
it is now, one passes from a blaze of
beauty into a dismal dingy canyon,
whose gloom is but emphasized by the
glowing brilliancy at its ends.
On First, Second, Third, Fourth
and so on, it would be very simple
task to secure lights. Complete the
illumination Of the down town district
and make the side streets as handsome
and as popular as the thoroughfares.
Rents will go up values will increase,
traffic will not confne itself to the
north and south streets, and the whole
city will be benefited, at infinitesimal
cost,

HOME LAID EGGS

According to statistics furnished to
the press by the Los Angeles Produce
Exchange there were received in this
city during the past year 6S,SOS cases
of eggs from the east, while from
California ranches there came 65,SOSla
cases. In other words, we imported an
amount nearly equal to the number
of cases produced at home and brought
to market.
In a recent article a we'll known
chicken raiser who had made a tour
of investigation along the Pacific coast
declared that California was among
the best states in which 10 raise chick
ems and that there was no reason why
the state should not entirely supply
its own markets and other markets
as well.
Poultry yards are common in South
ern California, but the number of per-
sons actually engaged in the business
as a business can be easily numbered,
What the business needs is men or
women who can bring experience,
money and scientific resources into 1t
and conduct it along successful lines,
In the orange growing industry the
trees do not bear until they are five
years old. Give an experienced poultry
raiser the same length of time in which
to start his business in Southern Cali
fornia and he viii rival the orange
grower in profits, 1t needs a little time,
a vast deal of patient care and some
money. After that the harvest is rich.
The trouble with too many local
poultry raisers is that they either en-
gage in It as side line-not having
sufficient income to wait for returns
or else conduct it along the unscientife
lines of ineXperience, losing their
chickens by disease. paying too much
for feed and becoming naturally dis
heartened with continued losses.
But there is good money in the Cali
fornia chicken business, as many men

DEADLOCK TIEsUPCoNTRACTS
$4,000 Worth Of Improvements De-
layed by Disagreement Over
Board of Public Works

Contractors for city street work are
already beginning to feel the effects of
the deadlock between the mayor and
the council over the appointment of a
board of public works, for they are
unable to get their assessments for
contracts which have already been
awarded them by the council. The
mayor has refused to affix his sigma
ture to any of these assessment rolls
and without these rolls the contractors
cannot collect money for street work
performed. In addition to this the
mayor has refused to sign any new
contracts and $4,000 worth of street
work is lying in his office for want
of his signature.
The charter amendment declares
these warrant and contracts shall be
signed by the new board of public
works and the mayor refuses to take
unto himself any of the duties of the
board when he has compiled with the
charter provision that requires him to
send the names to the city council for
confirmation.
A number of contractors visited the
city hall yesterday greatly perturbed at
their inability to secure their war
rants and contracts.

The banking house OF Henry Clews
g. Co, New York, in its monthly fnan-
cial report says THE money squeeze
is now over, and from now until the
middle OF March money should remain
in comfortably easy condition" It
also says: The New York money mar
ket will right itself If left alone. The
remedy for the local money strlngency
lies in liquidation and contraction of
the stock market" In an argument TO
show why the market will be held up
by bankers and fnanciers the report
states that some heavy issues of rail-
way stocks, together with large in
dustrial securities, are to be sold, and
to effect such sales tine market must
be maintained. Railway mileage, il
adds, has not kept pace with the great
growth OF the west and south, and two
years OF active new construction Of
railroads are expected between the
Mississippi and the Pacific. On the
whole the report is optimistic.

THE TREE BUTCHER

There is a call here for the sup
preston Of the tree butcher This van
dal is very much in evidence "in our
midst" just now, and he needs sup
preston.
a beautiful tree is an ornament to a
lawn. yard or street superior to any
possible rearing by the hand of man.
God alone is captble of fashioning it,,
and all the powers of nature are called
on to help it grow. Almost universally,
the beauty inherent in the tree itself ia
superior to any contributed to it by the
alien hand of man.
Sometimes however, the eXigencies
OF a given situation-such as the keep
ing open of a street or walk. the letting
in of sunshine, the erection of a build
ing-demand that the natural course Of
growth in a tree be diverted or changed.
Often this may be done by training the
tree to grow in other directions, but not
always. Then it becomes imperative
to lop off branches and to compel an
acquiescence.
It is harmful at best to mutilate a
tree. But when it must be done, by all
means let it be done scientifically,
artistically and carefully. Our trees
are too precious for any haphazard
hacking away of limbs. for any pur-
pose whatever.
But in Los Angeles, above all places
F,,11,
conserved and tended, the tree butcher
Is rampant. He operates unheeded and
unchecked. Let him but find a lovely
tree growing as nature intended it
should, freely and broadly, and he be-
comes active. With ak, saw and prun-
ing hook he attacks it. and in short
order it is shorn of every spreading
branch and becomes only a hideous,
raw skeleton, ugly, uncouth. an insult
TO nature and a libel on humankind.
That is the usual condition of trees in
Los Angeles, thanks to these greedy
vandals. and the city has done nothing
to prevent it.
In older, eastern cities. where trees
grow easily and need not be fostered
and coaXed. they protect them. a city
forester is in control. and no one may
trim tree without his formal permit
And il a tree be ruined by these gentry
they must replace it.
Los Angeles needs a city forester
woefully. Create such an office and
support it from fees for tree-trimming
permits, till the city can afford to put it
on salary. And then let the first tree
butcher see the interior of the tanks"
That'll stop en-!

REPORTS ONIMPERIAL' s NEEDS
Head of Water Company Renders An
nual Report and Gives Prom
ises for Future

]. w. Gleason. president of the I'M
perial Water company, submitted his
annual report to the stockholders of
the company yesterday.
In his report President Gleason tells
of the difficulties the development
companies have had in the Imperial
valley during the last year on account
of the unprecedented floods of the Col
orado river and how nearly all efforts at
Improvement have been set at naught
by raging waters. He declared, how
ever, that every failure has called for
more strenuous effort and this will be
continued until success has at last
been achieved.
According to the presidents report
the great flood has caused the aban-
donment of all temporary eXpedients
except the diversion of a portion of
the water through Quail river and the
Padrones to the gulf, and permanent
cement and steel gates will be put in,
the river turned through them and
sufficient leYees constructed to keep
the water in the old channel until only
such water is allowed to pass as may
be needed for irrigation in the I'M
perial valley.
He declares more harm was done TO
the enterprise by exaggerated stories
in the press than was done by the
floods.
