Tue prospector carries the Tag or
progress TO every wilderness. The
gold cure makes the LATEST man a
monster OF energy. No barrier OF
desert or jungle holds the golden
treasure from the prospector army OF
invasion.
The prospector is endowed with IA
restless spirit. lie builds trails and
delves into the muuntains, scorning
any occasion OF rest till the treasury
of which he holds the steel key Is un-
locked. The trails he blazes lead TO
the homesteads and open the forests
for the men Who build homes aud
towns and great cities.
The prospcctor uniocks natures
vaults TO give the wealth TO the
world. The camp follower comes as
soon as the rocks are removed and
the brambles are cut from the new
trails. The camp follower appropri-
ates the bounty aud gathers the gold
which the prospector has uncovered.
lie drives the restless p-ospector far.
ther into the wilderness and delays
the advance of the men who build up
the commerce uf the country.
The camp follower wears the blue
oyeralls uniform aud poses as the
real prospector, TO be photographed
and described In the literature OF
present day. This fake prospector
lives in the cabin that the pioneer
built and he watches the old tunnel
or shaft from which he drove the dis.
coyerer till some investor comes to
buy the mine he neither found OF de-
yeloped.
We often are told that some pros
pector has held his claim for ten or
twenty years, waiting for a buyer.
Such statement Is To brand the
ella m-holder an imposter. The work
required To legally hold mining
claim Tor ten years would either spoil
prospect or make mine which In
vestors would be hunting to the
depths Of the wilderness The man
who lives in some abandoned cabin
till it rots down and watches some
abandoned shaft or tunnel TIL the
timbefs cave In, should not assume
the honoled name Of prospector. lie
Is logically the camp follower who
stands between the discovcrer OF
mites aud the promoters Of com
merce.
! The ideal pr0spector Is almost AS
rare now as tie wild buffalo or the
great moose OF the Rocky mountain
swamp. When he invaded this coun'
try he possessed the physical strength
OF the gladiator aud an occult power
! that guided him TO every gold deposit
OF the whole mountain region. lie
was guided 10 every placer bed and
every pocket of free ore. IL Is true
that he left immense wealth for the
generations TO follow, but 1t was not
available 10 his primitive methods.

ACTION HURTS
ITS DIGNITY
COUNCIL AND PARK BOARD AT
VARIANCE
City Fathers Believe Their Preroga-
tives Have Been Disregarded in
Granting Rights to Edison
Electric Company

Members of the city council feel a
little indignant at the action of the
park commission in assuming duties
that properly belong to the council, and
in all probability the city Legislators
will stop the proceedings for the right
of way granted the Edison ELECTRIC
company by the park commission
Thursday morning,
While the city attorney refuses to
commit himself until his opinion is
asked for officially, he was not at all
reluctant yesterday to convey the i'm
preston that the action of the park
commission is illegal.
BY the right granted it by the park
commission to string it's wires and poles
through Griffith park, the Edison
Electric company expects to bring
power from the Kern river. For the
privilege it has agreed to give the COM
mission $1,000 for park purposes and
light Griffith park free of charge.
Members of the council believe the
privilege granted the Edison company
is virtually a franchise, and the coun-
Gil only has the privilege of granting
franchises. Some of the members
however, are perfectly willing to lei
the question rest as it is and then il
any blame attaches to anyone it will
be the park commission and not the
council.

OLD FRANCHISE AGAIN
AGITATES CITY OFFICIALS
BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS NOW
THE TARGET
A. N. Davidson Asks Permission of
Board of Public Works to Submit
to Supreme, Court Question of OPP
Grating Electric Cars on Tenth

The old electric railway franchise on
Tenth street that has engaged the at
tention of city officials for the last
three years, came up in a new form
yesterday when A. N. Davidson ap-
peared before the board of public works
to get the consent of that body to
submit the case to the supreme court
on briefs. 1t has passed through all
the other courts and in each the city
has scored a victory.
In 1904 the city council granted A.
~ Davidson a franchise for thirty-six
years to run an electric railway on
Tenth street from Vermont to West
ern avenue. Between the time the
council passed the ordinance and the
signature of the mayor the state legis-
lature passed a law limiting franchises
to twenty-one years on this account
the mayor vetoed the ordinance.
Davidson attempted to have the line
built on the strength of the ordinance
passing the council, but the city Sc
cured an injunction and since tha'
time the case has been in the courts

OAYL|GHT ROBBER
PLACED IN JAIL
IS CAPTURED AFTER MANY
WEEKS HARD CHASE
James Riteh, Charged With Long
List Of Bold Crimes, Is Arrested
In Also street Lodging
House

James Ritch, the daylight burglar, is
in the tolls.
Through information received early
yesterday, after weeks of hard work,
Detectives Boyd and Jones traced the
man to a lodging house on Also street,
and there arrested him late in the
afternoon.
AT least a dozen burglaries are known
to have been committed by the bold
thief and the police expect that the
number will prove to be three times
that many after a thorough investiga-
ton of his case.
When the officers broke into the
room Ritch offered no resistance, but
allowed them to ransack the place at
leisure and coolly remarked that he
guessed the game was up with him.
They found only a broken watch,
stolen from the home of A. l.. Cava-
naugh, 915 Sunset boulevard, Thurs
day afternoon. The other property the
burglar has stolen had been disposed
of by him. An attempt Will be made
to recover all of the property.
Since Ritch has been working in Los
Angeles he has used the names of
Frank Smith, Frank Hansen, Frank
Mack and Fred Mack However he
maintains LIdI MS Tlsul Hdtile 10 INllCh
and that he has lived in the west for
some time. The police are inclined to
doubt this statement.
Ritch startled the police by five
crimes January o. He entered the
home OF Mrs. Lillian Price, 1888 Sherl-
dan street. Frank Hern, COS Cornwall
street; Mrs. c. A. Schooley, 416 Canal
street. Mrs. w. M Weinberger, 62S
North Soto street, and Charles Rohn,
627 North Soto street.
In each of the places Ritch is said
to have secured a considerable amount
of plunder. He did his work in the
afternoon and did not attempt to con-
ceal it. AT the most of the places
Ritch used passkeys, which attracted
little suspicion.
Some of the crimes given out by the
police are the robberies of the homes
of Mrs. Anna Cook, 2217 D street, Eden
dale, on January 8; Mrs. l.. M. Morey,
235 Wilcox street. Hollywood, Janu-
airy 9; ]. P. Wylie, Benefit street, April
13; A. l.. Cavanaugh. 915 Sunset boule-
ward, May "a. These were daylight
burglaries.
From the character of the work done
by Ritch the police are lead to believe
that he has been a burglar for some
time and is an expert. They expect
to find that he is wanted throughout
the country principally in the large
cities OF the east.
1t could not be ascertained last
evening just how much loot Ritch had
secured from the various places which
he robbed, but within a few days the
officers believe they will know the eX-
tent of his depredations.

The first rain for several weeks came
to Los Angeles yesterday. The precise
amount which fell was .O7 of an inch.
The different sections of the county
were much benefited by the little
shower, for in many cases it obviated
the necessity of irrigation at least for
few days. According to the weather
forecaster yesterdays rain was the first
of a series which is due to last for
several days to come. The rain was
caused by a storm which developed
suddenly at the mouth of the Columbia
river Rains have been general through
the state, and the showers will continue
today and tonight.
In several cases the Fiesta draperies
which had been hung on buildings were
spoiled by the shower, although most
of the decorations had been previously
removed.
