There seems to be even greater dis
in store for the Indiana
university football team as a result Of
the Wabash game than was at first ex-
pected.
1t has developed beyond a doubt that
either the referee or umpire made a bad
decision in Saturdays game between
Indiana university and Wabash in al
lowing the first touchdown made BY
7. L. to count. Both Hoagland and Nc
Cornack. referee and umpire respect
Vely. agree that a mistake was made
but both shift the blame on the other.
Ihe result of the controversy is that
Walter Camp, Americas foremost foot
ball authority, will be asked to settle
the dispute. as both Hoagland and Nc
Cornack are regarded al the two hest
officials in the west, and will likely of
dciate in most Of the big championship
struggles that take place between big
universities in this section of the coun-
try
Coach Cayou, and, in fact all of the
football authorities who saw the game.
agree that the ball should have been
called dead when it was punted by
Frurip against q member Of his own
team before it had touched either the
ground or player on the opposite The
rules are definite in this regard There
IS no penalty for this play, but simply
a dead ball
Referee Hoagland knew this in Sat
urday's game. but failed to blow his
whistle. When he called the ball back
Umpire Mccormack refused to allow it
owing to this fact, although he admit
ted that the play should not have
counted. Both officials claim that they
were in the right. The result of the
whole affair Is that Wabash is the loser
and the score should have been to ;.

Information For Amateur Laundress.
With the mum berless stocks, collars,
cuffs, bits of lace, white gloves and
belts, to say nothing of dainty lingerie
and silk waists now being worn, where
is the woman, unless Ale is able to
keep a personal maid, VINO does not do
more or less laundry work for herself?
A recent invention for making such
work easy, therefore, should be of gen
eral interest The new washer is a
simple arrangement, consisting Of q
auted roller pierced by many holes.
For use with it there comes a little
washboard that has slight projections
over the surface, although an ordinary
washboard will answer the purpose
just as well.
These rollers come in all sizes, from
the tiny ones like a child's toy-just
the thing to wash out stocks, handker-
tionary washstand-to those for a full
family wash
The process is very simple Soak the
clothes overnight, then put a piece at
a time, folded in several thicknesses,
on the board. Soap it we'll and run the
roller over it in short, quick strokes, as
II making pastry. The dirt is quickly
removed without half the wear and
tear of the ordinary rubbing.
No boiling is necessary. Merely rinse
through several waters, the final slight
II blued, and the clothes are ready for
the line.

Cayou has won the devotion of the
team by his earnest work While his

cars would send strong delegation of
citrus fruit growers and shippers to
Washington, pay all the expenses of
the trip and enable them to make per-
sonal demands which, backed up by
the voices of thousands of fruit raisers,
would be heard. That sort of action
would go long ways, where petitions
are merely wasted energy.
The proper procedure in this case is
to call a convention of fruit growers
and shippers, raise a fund pro rata on
the cars shipped last season, send ac-
credited delegates to the capital give
them the stiff backing the situation re-
quires and have them put the ques-
tion squarely before the proper con-
gressional committee, without fear or
favor. They will get a hearing all
right. Even the senate is in n mood
just now to give attention to the voX
populi strange as it may seem. Why
shouldn't the chamber of commerce
call such a convention for immediate
assembly here. that action may be had
in Washington before the Hepburn bill
is passed?
Los Angeles herald., 1906-03-04
GROWERS AND SHIPPERS

Very prompt has the Southern Cali
fornia Fruit Growers Exchange been
in filing a protest against the court de-
cision giving railroads the exclusive
right to route fruit shipments on
through traffic east. And very strong
are the resolutions sent to the presi-
dent and Senator Dolliver, who is help
ing to push the Hepburn rate regula-
ton bill through the senate. Very
commendable, too, is this action on the
part of the exchange.
But this is only a step in the cam
paign that must be waged If anything
of value is to be accomplished along
these lines. All the resolutions in the
world are not going to do anything un-
less they are backed up by action of
still more vigorous sort. Tons of res
olutions are dumped into the congress
sional waste baskets on every big fight
made therein, unopened and unread.
They have sounded strong and impell-
ing to the home folks; to the men
these home folks have elected as thei,
junk.
What is needed in case like this
is action. The exchange declares that
under the old rule losses of 800 to
$500 car were not unusual, caused
by delays in transit. If the old regime
is resumed, viii not the same trouble
appear? Yet the loss OIL half dozen

LOS ANGELES; ITS FINANCIAL
AND INDUSTRIAL GROWTH
Bradstreets Devotes Considerable Space to a
Complimentary Review of This City's Wonder
full Development in All Directions
From Bradstreets. February "a, 1906.

Tales of the beauty of Los Angeles
have been often told, but most of them
have dealt with it's climate rather thar
its material growth. In late years
however, the student of civics and
economies has become familiar with
another phase of that Southern Cali
fornia city-its industrial development
which with it's climate has brought
about growth that is truly marvel
Gus. Indeed, the progress of the city
| has been so marked that even the
ordinary intelligent person in the east
singles out the city for comment IL it
happens that American cities are sub
jects of discussion, as they frequently
are. Los Angeles has been only twen-
ty years in developing but the record
of the city within those two decades
is one of which any city might well
be proud.
From an article prepared by w. G.
Patterson, president of the Los Angeles
Clearing House association, it appears
that in 1885, year in which the seeds
which were to make for future develop
ment were fresh soWn, the city had a
population of 1000 persons, while at
the present time the number of in
habitants is fully 100000. The two
succeeding years. 1886 and 1887. were
to have collapsed by 1855 In 1887 the
bank clearings of the city amounted
to over $36000,0 900, but in 1883 the fig
ures fell somewhat below those just
mentioned. Recovery came gradually,
though none the less surely. so that by
1895 payments through the clearing
house amounted to $57,OOO,O 900, which
was remarkable in view of the fact
that the country was passing through
the free silver agitation. Five years
later, or by 1900, the bank clearings ag-
created $113, 100000, an increase of al
most 100 per cent in half a decade in
1901 the figures rose to $1450 900, and
from that year onward expansion has
been of a steady character, being re-
flected in bank clearings that reached
$47S, 9S5, ,29S in 1905. In other words, the
population of Los Angeles has in
creased 800 per cent in twenty years,
while it's bank clearings have gained
1927 per cent in eighteen years.
1t is figured that there are in the
city at the present time over 2S00 in
dustrial establishments, employing
about $1,000 men. The number of en-
ployeS given includes only those en-
ployed in strictly manufacturing con-
Germs of one kind or another. The
three great transcontinental railroads
centering in Los Angeles and the Hunt |
ingtOn syndicate of rapid transit roads, |
urban and interurban. are employing |
at the present time not less than $4,000
persons. whose homes are in or very
near the city. The wages paid. includ
ing salaries of officials, in these strictly
industrial. manufacturing enterprises, |
at the present time must amount to
considerably over $S,O0OOO0; the rent
paid for premises, including uptown Of
fees, amount to more than $2000.000 |
the cost of material, including freight, !

REPORTED IN RHYME

+ to more than $40 100000; for power there
| is expended annually considerably over
| $500 900. and the value of the finished
products runs to above $40,OOOOOO.
During the past three years there
has been expended annually in the
city from $10,0O0,000 to over $15,OOO,O0O
for the building of new structures, in
cluding houses, business blocks, fac
tories and the like. In 1905 the number
of permits issued by the superintendent
of buildings was over 5000. AT least
5000 of these permits were for new
structures costing from $1,000 for cot
! tageS for wage earnerS up to ten ana
twelve-storv steel-frame buildings call
ing for an expenditure in some in
stances as high as $250000. The eXpen-
ditures made by the Huntington syn
diCate in extending street car lines and
nterurban electric lines have amounted
to not less than $5,000,000 year; per-
hapS in the five years the total eX-
penditure has run to $S0,00O000. There
are in all more than u dozen of these
electric lines running out of the city
of Los Angeles for distances varying
from six to ten miles, to as much as
thirty miles. Los Angeles boasts of
sixteen commercial banks with deposits
of $5OO0O,O00, an increase in 1905 of
o. $2O.000000. These banks on jan
uary 1 paid dividends ranging from 6
to IL per cent. lii addition there are
nine savings banks, deposits in which
amount to more than $33, 900, ,000 an in
crease in 1905 of considerably over $S,-
100000. The dividends paid depositors
during 1905 by these savings banks
amounted to nearly 100000, and the
dividends paid to stockholders amount
ed to perhaps $4,000
At the present time the paid-up capi-
tai of all the city banks of all classes
approximates $9,OOO,OOO, and the surplus
of these financial institutions combined
is quite $10,000,000
Climate and the eastern tourist visi-
tations may be Los Angeles chief as
sets, but one can readily see that there
are other things, especially since the
development of the petroleum fields in
the vicinity. But the climate does
some wonderful things for the farm
land and crops thereabouts. Thus, Mr..
Patterson proclaims that there are few
sections OF this or any other country
where there are so many acres OF
ground each one of which will pro-
duce annually a carload of products
whose value will in some cases, run as
high as $1,000 when landed in eastern
Indeed, that sum was doubled
In many instances during 1905 on single
carloads OF citrus fruit gathered from
the trees on a single acre of ground.
Besides oranges and lemons, there are
crops of winter vegetables, such as to-
matoes, green peas, caulfiower, cab
bage, new potatoes in January and
february, and celery, the value of
which crops, coming from a single
acre OF ground will run all the way
from 500 to $500. Small wonder that
the community is exceedingly rich. that
wages are high, that employment is
steady for competent men, and that
farmers are prosperous.
