Do NOT WANT
FORCED UNION
EACH COMMUNITY WILL VOTE
ON ANNEXATION
Greater Los Angeles Commission
Favors Policy Of Letting Each
Town Make Its Choice as
to Consolidation

The feeling among the members Of
the Greater Los Angeles committee Of
! fifty seems to be that town or NUM-
cipality will be forced into union with
Los Angeles city and county.
The question will have to be decided
by the vote first of the people of the
town i'm question and second by the vote
OF the people of Los Angeles. who will
have the right to decide whether they
want the proposed town a portion of
this city.
Several members of the committee
were interviewed as to their views on
that important question and not one
seemed to think that any town will be
forced into amalgamation against Its
will as expressed by the vote of its
citizens.
Milton Youne's Views
The views of Milton X. Young were
especially strong along that line and
are quoted;
THE problem of forming new
municipality, either as a city and
county as in case of the consolidated
government of San Francisco or by
borough system, presents problems that
the commission will have to work out
as the plan progresses
I'm regard to the question concerning
outside localities being forced into the
new municipality, there is only one
answer and that is each locality has
the right to determine this que. ton for
itself by vote. and the present city of
Los Angeles also has the right to de-
termine whether new communities shall
be admitted
THE union will have to be mutually
satisfactory.
ut has also been suggested that GER
tain communities might vote against
q consolidation and the question has
been asked what would be the contour
of the new territory by reason of GER
tain communities refraining from COM
ing in.
Narrow at First
This question is one of vital i'm
portance and my own idea is that a
new city and county in the first in
stance should be within a very narrow
scope.
IAN ideal territory for all the pur-
poses involved in the project would be
carved out by an extension of the
present city boundaries to San Pedro,
probably taking in Long Beach and
Alamitos This would give us control
of San Pedro harbor, a compact terri
tory and one set of officers performing
the duties of the dual set now re-
quired.
Then from time to time this NUM-
cipality could be enlarged by the an
nexation of additions as they desired to
come in. providing always that such
communities abutted the territory.
AS above stated, these are my pres
ent views. and as a member of the com
mission they may be wholly changed
by the time our work is completed.
1--WE are all endeavoring to reach an
end that will be most advantageous for
the communities concerned, and what
ever plan bids fair to bring this about,
whether 1T be the consolidation system
or the borough system will be adopted.
"The Herald is doing splendid edu-
cational work along the line of inform
ing the people concerning the ends to
be obtained"

mountain is a lead and silver property
that is owned by George Atkins of
Milford, Utah. The old miners are
watching for the time when the last
blast shall be applied, which they be-
lieve will open up very rich mine.
j. r. Newberry's Tam-o'- Shanter
mine is known as carrying some of
the richest silver ore except one in the
region. Mr. Newberry will soon COM
mence development work that in nine
ty days will make the mine a producer
of smelling ore second to none in the
district.
The American group and Bullion are
owned by S. e. Yount of Good Springs,
one of the early prospectors, who had
a chance to get the best there was
and it is certain that he would not
own them if they were not good.
The johnson group at Big Devil
mountain is Il green property, as the
eastern phrase goes, that has the ear
marks of what is known as the pros
pectors' delight.
Mormon Lead Mine
The Potosi has lately changed hands
and the price was $4,000 This mine
needs no elaborate description, for as
long ago as Johnson's army came to
Utah that property was known as the
that these mines can produce 100 tons
a day of smelling ore that will go bet
ter than $50 ton for the next ten
years.
There is what is known as the Big
Copper Spread and eight other mines
formerly owned by John McClanahan
but which We're sold last week to Major
II. p. Myton of SaE Lake City, who
will at once commence operations to
produce ore for the smelter which is
to be built at Good Springs.
The Columbia mines owned by Jack
Fisher and others of Los Angeles
show a large body of ore. principally
the azurite and red oxide of copper
On the dumps are 1000 tons of smelt-
ing ore that will average 10 per cent
and it is estimated that there is at
least 1000 tons blocked out in the
mines. There are about 500 feet of
tunnel work in the side of the noun
tain and the men are now working in
crosscuts and drifts in ore. Several
carloads of ore have been shipped from
this mine which averaged 80 per cent
Besides the properties mentioned
there are sixty or seventy other mines
more or less developed, and it is es-
timated that all of the mines within
a years time can furnish 500 tons per
day for a smelter at Good Springs.

recently. the attraction being flatter- ing offer from the Racket and Tennis club for series of matches with Standing and others at both rackets and court tennis.
 The men played for purse which exceeded S3,O00 and both appeared in good fettle after their brief sojourn at Atlantic City. N. J. This is Latham's second visit to the United States, and the reverse marks his first defeat in a single handed racket match on this side of the Atlantic.
 Many of the best known clubmen in
 New York were on hand. Early in the day Latham ruled favorite in the bet ting at to 5, but shortly before the time for starting the match the rumor
 was current that the Briton was not in his best form. This changed the odds to even money just before the start.
 As usual, NJ. S. Patton acted as ref. cree, with Edward Rogers doing the marking. The former. had few ques- tionable decisions to make. There was one, however, when return by Stand ing bounded from the wall just above the telltale. and as the ball went up after coming back from the wall La tham made no effort to return it, taking it for granted the ball had hit the top of the board. "Played!' called the
 marker, who recorded the ace for Standing. Ruling" spoke up Latham
 But Patton ruled it good count.
 Standing hardly failed to improve an opportunity, Latham only getting four aces from him on misses. Standing got eleven aces by opponents misses. On aces by service Standing gained only nine to thirteen for Latham, bu, the Englishman could not do as well as Standing in volleying. and the Amer ican gained twenty-three aces by plac. ing balls that could not be returned to eight by placing for Latham Standing

 Forward, then!"-and she touched Jane's flank with her crop. The weather was perfect for riding; no sun, keen breeze from the north west, and dust-settled road. War burton confessed to me afterward that this first ride with her was one of the most splendid he had ever ridden. Both animals were perfect saddle horses, such as are to be found only in the south. They started up the road at a brisk trot, and later broke into a canter which lasted fully mile. How beautiful she was, when at length they slowed down into walk! Her cheeks , were flaming, her eyes dancing and full of luster. her hair was tumbled about and tendrils fluttered down her cheeks. She was Diana; only he hoped that she was not inclined to celibacy.

Richardson and His Bill.

Representative Richardson of Ala. bama was recently trying to get through bill for a dam somewhere down in his state. and Serene Payne. the floor leader of the Republicans, did not just understand whether there was a concealed Ethiopian or moi. says the Washington correspondent of the New York Times. He was asking bothersome questions as to the necessi- ty of a special act. and Richardson did not like it. Finally the Alabama man broke out. "rt's one of those cases that the general dam law does not cover" ''Oh. sec" said Payne. "So we have to have a special dam law"

PIRATE.


 On the opposite 4 side of the road there was stone wall about five feet in height: beyond this was broad, rolling field and farther on barbwire fence and boggy stream which oozed its way down stoward the Poto- mac. Far away across the. valley the wooded hills were dying and whitening and thinning, with splashes of yell low and red. A flock of birds speckled the f1eecy October clouds, and mild breeze sent the grasses shivering.
 Toward the wall Pirate directed his course. Warburton threw, back his full weight The effort had little or no effect on Pirates mouth. His rider remembered about the tree, but the nearest was many yards away Over the wall they went and down the field. Pirate tried to get his head down but he receivedSa shechs Score one for the man. Wafb,H5on khis legs stiffened in the stirrups, his hands well down, his breath coming in gasps, wondered where they would finally land. He began to use his knees and Pirate felt the pressure. " He didn't like it at all. Oddly enough, ,Warbur- : tons leg did not bother him as he sex- ypected it would. and this gave him sconhdence, On, on; the dull pounding of Pirates feet, the flying sod, the wind in his face: and when he saw the barb-wire fence, fear entered into him. An inch too low. stumble and serious injuries might result. He must break Pirates gait. -- , He began to saw cowboy fashion. ]. Pirate grew indignant: he was being ; shurt. His speed slackened none, how ever; he was determined to make that fence if it was the last thing he ever did. He'd like to see any man stop him. He took the deadly fence as with the wings of bird. But he found that the man was still on his back. He couldn't understand it. He grew worried And then he struck the red. brown muck bordering the stream. The muck flew, but at every bound Pirate sank deeper, and the knees of his rider were beginning to tell. War burton. full of rage.gyer not unreasori- able rage. quickly saw his chance. Once more he threw back his weight: this time to the left. Pirates head came stubbornly around; his gait was broken, he was fioundering in the stream. Now Warburton used his heels savagely. He shortened the reins . and whacked MT. Pirate soundly across the ears. Pirate plunged and reared. and after devious evolutions reached solid ground. This time his head was high in the air. and. try as he would. he could not lower his neck a solitary inch
 Warburton knew that the animal could not make the barb-wire fence again, so he waltzed him along till he found break in the wire. Over this Pirate bounded. snorting. But Ashe had met master. Whether he reared or plunged, waltzed or ran. he
