without paying a penny.
With no great appetite for wealth,
he yet made money. Even while in
college he engaged in various queer
ventures upon capital of a few hun
dred dollars, a legacy from his last
near relative, and at the time Of gradu-
alton he was known to his few init
mates to have some thousands invested
in stocks. After college he spent sew
eral years in leisurely travel from one
end Of the country to the other, study
ing the whole question Of its industrial
development in his own odd way, and

the cheerful swindlers at the head of
the enterprise. The road was to con-

tain number of investors had had their
period of mourning. and the percentage
of suicides had been fully up to the av-
erage. Now the bonds and certificates
CT stock were regarded as waste paper
preserved from mere habits of pru
dence.
But a certain rich man named Isaac
Creamer had made a discovery about
the franchise of the Capital Cities road
and had scented more money in that
old gold brick. Mr.. Creamer's plan was
too elaborate for complete statement
here, but the essential point of his ma
neuverS was to secure control of the
stock A clear majority of it was held
by towns and little cities along the
route of the road The political maniD-
ulation by which they were induced to
buy had been a notable feature Of the
original bunko game and had smirched
many regulations. The deal was by nc
means forgotten. 1t was now unsafe
for any public official even to mention
Capital Cities stock. and, though it had
no value, not share could have been
sold without arousing dangerous popu-
lar clamor So Mr. Dreamer was forced
to go over the heads of these local Of
ficerS.
1t was impossible for him to get con
troll of the board of directors without
the consent of these men, and some Of
them were honest and others timid,
and he could do nothing with them. So
he quietly secured a bit of legislation

buying up these bonds and adding the
proceeds in stock to his holdings there
of he could force the representatives
of the towns interests into minority

HARDWOOD happened to get wind of
this scheme when it was in the bud,

The members Of the newspaper
brotherhood of Los Angeles were guests
of the Jones & Ryder Land company
and shared in the princely entertain
ment accorded last evening by the
members of the company.
The Jones & Ryder company's Off
cials had met with such great success
in the development and sale of the
splendid lots in the fine tract at Clark
dale on the Venice short line electric
track, less than fifty minutes from Los
Angeles and only ten minutes from
Venice, that they felt like celebrating,
and they proceeded to do 50 in royal
style.
They had all members of the news
paper fraternity as their guests.
What did they do?
whole lot and then some.
The party of about sixty started from
the Fourth street station in special
observation car, and moved off for
ClarkdaIe at four-thirty. At Sixth

two group pictures taken, and then
the trip was resumed to the tract,
where a fine feast awaited the party
with Henry Higgins and R. I. cooper
as the chief entertainers.
The beauty of Clarkdale. fine
tract of forty-five acres, embracing 1853
lots, lying between the Venice short

cry were pointed out in glowing words
by Messrs. Higgins, Cooper Saxton
and Vassar.
The company has met with very
gratifying success in disposing of the
lots at Clarkdale. A large number
have been sold on easy terms, and the
remainder are going rapidly.
The outing of the newspaper men did
not end at Clarkdale. The special car
was in readiness at $50 to convey the
entire party to Venice, where as the

SAWTELLE, March 5.-John E.
Avery of company A, Soldiers Home
has received a telegram from the as
sistant postmaster general giving him
the much discussed star route" con-
tract for delivery of the mails between
Sawtelle and the Soldiers home. The
red wheelbarrow that has been in use
for the past week will soon be thing
of the past.
Michael Yoakum, who had the con-
tract, has been superseded by Avery,
and the latter will receive the sum he
asked for, $40 a month. Mr.. Avery
can take the electric car at the Sol
diers' home postofftce and will convey
the mail by that route.
1t is expected that the Soldiers home
car which makes the turn at Seventh
street, Sawtelle, will be removed prob
ably next month, and be superseded by
a car that runs directly from Sawtelle
to Westgate. thence to Santa Monica,
and not go to the Soldiers home post
office. The freight car will be the only
one that goes into the home.
John H. Anderson died in the Sol
diers' home hospital. He served dur
ing the civil war in company l, One
