EIGHTY-FIVE JOLLY YOUNG
PEOPLE CELEBRATE
Baracas of First Methodist Church,
Armed with Horns, Take Wagon
Ride, Then Feast with jack
o'-Lanterns Looking On

Two big wagons piled high with rosy
checked, laughing girls-and, incident
ally, their less beautiful but very
necessary male incumbrances- started
gayly from the corner of Sixth and
Olive streets last night bent on show
ing the quiet residents of Eagle Rock
valley what proper Halloween cele-
bration should be like. And right roy
ally did they succeed.
Such laughing, happy crowd it
would be hard to surpass.,
Eighty-tive jolly Baracas of the First
Methodist church. ably chaperoned by
DR.. and Mrs. I. G. Norton, evangelists
of international reputation, left the
church at 6 o'clock last night to
make the welkin ring. Horns big, and
horns little, mouths big, and others,
by far the prettiest, little, joined forces
in making the ride to the valley a
light-hearted, happy journey, with
noise ever predominating.
But the ride out was only a very
small incident of the affair. 1t was not
till they reached the valley that the
jollifcation began in earnest.
Huge bonfires were built and by the
side of the roaring blazes the merry
picnickers whiled away the time by
telling ghost stories. Later on the
cracking of the flames formed thrill
ing accompaniment to the hearty songs
of the young people.
In every conceivable place jaek-o'-
lanterns were placed, and their grim
ning staring countenances sent, or at
least were supposed to send, shivers
up and down eighty-flve persons. After
the welcome bonfires had thoroughly

lice Alert

W1th%blare Of horns and blazing of
ponilres All Saints day has passed on
into thessmall boys history. From over
the length and breadth of this broad
land arises gigantic sigh of relief
that Halloween. with its long train of
lesser celebrations, is past For ten
days youngsters throughout the city
have made life burden to their long
suffering neighbors and friends, and the
older portion of the population is glad
that the small boys reign is at an
end.
Time was when present grandfathers
were boys; that Halloween meant one
night in the year when the boys could
take off gates and hide them, run
wagons over the hill, scramble for nuts
which the grocer threw out to them
and build great bonfires of board walks
and unguarded fences,
Times have changed. With advanc-
sing civilization the infantile mind has
broadened. New ways of botnering the
neighbors had to be invented. The
old tick-tack made from two spools
gave way to more elaborate affair
of rubber and steel. After a while the
youthful mind had devised so many
ways of enjoying himself on the one
free night that Halloween night was
not long enough time in which to play
his various pranks. so corn night was

COLONISTS COME
BY TRAINLOADS
IoWANS FLOCK TO COAST FOR
WINTER
Thousands Of Fasteners Arrive Daily.
Los Angeles and Vicinity Receive
Preponderance Of Arrivals
from Frozen States

The colonist season which closed last
night on the three railroads entering
Los Angeles has been the neaVlest IN
the history of the state. For many
days the Southern Pacific road mas
been bringing the home seekers into
this city at the rate of seventy-f1ve
carloads a day. On the other two lines
the trains we're run in more sections,
but brought just as many people.
According to Frank G.. Lathrop, traV-
cling passenger agent of the Southern
Pacific. nearly the entire population of
iowa is coming to California. MI.
Lathrup said last night: "Nine-tenths
of our colonists this year are from
Iowa. 1t is becoming habit with the
Iowa people, and this year the farmers
have so much money that they don't
know what to do with 1t. Many of the
people taking advantage of the low
rates are wealthy. Some of them are
com out here to locate winter homes,
whtl3 others have already done SO.
There is nothing for farmers to do be-
tween October and planting time, and
so, being well to do, they have acquired
the habit of coming to California to
spend the winter months"
There is one feature of this years
colonist business, however, which is
worthy of special mention. Within the
past week 100 special cars have been
delivered bv connecting roads to the
three main lines. These cars were not
the regular run sent out from Chicago,
but extra traffic, got together in little
side towns and country places.
A special car of colonists left Winni-
peg for Los Angeles yesterday; anoth-
er train load left Milo, Ia, for this city
Tuesday; still another from Rushville,
Mo-, is due to arrive here tomorrow
Two special carloads came from Lin
coin. Neb., and others from Sioux City,
Waterloo, Clarinda and Des Moines, all
these coming via the Southern Pacific
The largest part of the Santa Fe spe-
cial trade came from Minneapolis and
the northwest.
OF the thousands of tourists and colo
nists coming to California, Los Angeles
is receiving almost all. Even the work.
men who set out for San Francisco
gradually drift down to this city, and
the hotel and lodging house keepers

census Just taken by the health de-
partment OF the isthmlan canal zone
the population Of the zone is 22,137.
AS the inhabitants Of the zone are
constantly moving 1t was impossible
to enumerate all of them and 1t Is
estimated that the number missed Is
probably about 5000 bringing this
total up to 27,137 In addition to this
the officials point out there should be
liberal allowance, probably ten per
cent, made for persons who live just
outside the zone but are employees of
the commission and to all purposes
are residents of the strip controlled
by the United States This allowance
would bring the total up to almost
100000.
A census showed the population
of the city of Panama was 22,5F A
census taken October 81, 1905, showed
a population of 2O,3S3. OF the adults
in the city of Panama reached by
the enumerators in the last census,
7,O49 were men as against 6,4l0
women. OF the minors 4,016 were
males and 5,O72 females. In the city
Of Panama 15,111 Of the inhabitants
are natives of the Panama republic.
Among other nationalities among the

ranks second with 1877; Spain has
LAO; West Indies except Jamaica and
Porto Rico 1850; United States 361;
Colombia 1853; China 7OS; Italy 245.
