GREATER LOS ANGELES
Predictions of Local Real Estate
observation-disclosures to H. e.
Huntington

Emil Firth, the Wel-known real es-
tate dealer, in signed statement, pre-
diets great things for Los Angeles and
Southern California. He says:
"As we turn toward our heaters on
cold day, so the people of the frozen
east seek our life and health-giving
sunshine. Every day brings new re-
cruits and every newcomer induces his
friends to come, thus creating an enor-
nous endless chain, which is gaining
in power from year to year.
People will come here by the ten
and hundred thousand, until Los An
geles will be the largest city on the
Pacific coast and Southern California
the most densely populated part of the
United States. No one sees this clearer
than the president of the principal
electric lines centering in Los An
geles. This far-seeing man is build
ing for the future, and never misses
an opportunity to buy desirable real
estate and to extend his lines in the
right direction.
"Other railroad corporations are look
ing with a jealous eye toward this
coast and shaping their ends to extend
their lines to this city in order to share
in the extremely profitable traffic which
already is getting too heavy for the
three railroads that have their termin
here. These railroads, when completed
Will, by force of competition, reduce
freight rates and create new markets
for Southern California products of the
soil, as well as for the jobbers and
manufacturing industries. Eastern
manufacturers are also casting loving
glances toward this rapidly growing
market, with its cheap fuel, and our
manufacturing district is steadily ex-
panding."

POPULAR EDGEWooD PARK
Opening Days Fixed for February {
and Anew Tract ls a
Beauty

One of the finest and most attractive
close In subdivisions is about to be
placed on the market, to be known as
Edgewood park, located in the city,
only 1872 minutes from First and Spring
streets, exact time, on the Garvanza
and University line, and just this side
of Highland park.
The new tract contains 81 large level
lots, 50x150 feet, to 15-foot alleys.
The Garvanza car passes right by the
subdivision. Right of way has been
given to II. e. Huntington for car line
crosswise through the center Of this
tract. Rails are on the ground and
work of constructing same has COM
menced, affording two car lines by and
through this choice subdivision.
All streets to be cement curbed with
the cement sidewalks, and pure, ar
tesian water piped in front of each lot.
About one-half of the street work and
improvements are now finished, and
balance of work Is being hurried to
completion. A contract is given with
each purchase guaranteeing the entire
fulfillment of agreement.
The prices of lots are $500 and $3.50
each, and 5000 and $1,000 for corners.
All streets will be 60. 70, so and 80 feet

terest.
No finer section OF the city can be
found where the climate and tempera-
ture is so uniform and healthful. This
subdivision is restricted exclusively for
residences and liberal building restric-
tions are made.
The name of Edgewood park is very
appropriate. Otto Weld and w. A.
Roberts, who have offices in the john
son building and are the agents for
this magnificent subdivision, will have
their opening days on February and
4. The artesian well on this tract is
one of the notable features.

ALL ABOARD FOR ALPAUGH
Day Fixed for Distribution of Town
Lots to Enthusiastic
CoIonists

Announcement is made by the Cali
fornia Home Extension association that
the town lots in the new townsite of
Alpaugh in Tulare county, will be dis
tributed to colonists on Thursday after
noon. January 25, in Blanchard hall, 233
South Broadway.
The acreage lots will not be distrib-
uted until few days afterwards, and
another circular will be sent out from
the Home Extension office as soon as
the Tuare county surveyor sends down
the official map.
1t was decided best to get the town
lot distribution out of the way of the
acreage distribution, as the latter is
likely to take up whole day.
The town lot distribution will also
allow the merchants, hotel and res
taurant men to go ahead and erect ac-
commodations on the lots they select
and have things in good shape for an
orderly and well arranged incoming of
the acreage holders. There are about
thirty or forty people on the grounds
at Alpaugh and they want to select
their lots so that they can abandon
their temporary tent camp and put up
good accommodations for the people
soon to come In.
This colonization plan has been done
to attract attention to California. The
first colony established by the associa-
ton at Clark City, now Greenfield, in
Monterey county, has rapidly grown in
population and substantial improve
ments. There are now many business
houses and over sixty cottages erected
at Greenfield.
Alpaugh colonists assert that their
town will boom at once, and that the
Gordon Harris vegetable concentrating
industry will be an important factor
in the line of speedy development. Many
colonists have already completed ar
rangements to go to Alpaugh soon after
the lots are distributed.

HOME FOR GIRLS NEEDED.
State Chaplain for Reform Schools
Says Looney in His Report.

The state should provide a home
for girls from 12 to IS years of age,
similar to the boys reform school,
says Superintendent n. H. Looney OF
that institution in his preliminary re-
port to the board of trustees. He also
suggests that a state chaplain should
be appointed, at a salary of $500 a
year.
The name should be changed to the
State Training or Industrial school,
and a new cottage should be built for
the smaller boys so that they may be
kept separate from the older ones.
The courts committing boys to the
school should be required to send all
available information; the facts de-
veloped at the trial, history of the
youth and all the causes that lead to
his commitment in addition to those
brought out on trial. No diseased
boys should be sent.
He asks for s60,S00 to support the
institution for the coming two years

DISCOVERY OF PIXIES PEAK.
100 Years Ago Today, Celebrated in
Colorado Towns.

Denver, Col, Nov 25.-One hun
dred years ago today the history of
this state commenced when Lieuten-
ant Pike planted the national flag on
the peak now known as Pixies Peak.
Ceremonies took place today. national
in their character, in honor of the oc-
casion. Members of the American
Historical society today told the story
of the travels of Pixies little expedi-
tion across the western country until
| it was confronted and halted by the
towering heights of the great noun
tain, which now bears the name of its
| discoverer. 1t was story that should
| inspire children with courage and pa
triotism and it was explained that it
was partly with that object that the
celebration was held.
1t was on the afternoon of Nov. Is.
1906, as Lieutenant Pike tells in his
simple but descriptive style. that he
got the first glimpse of the noun
tain. 1t appeared to him as a light
blue cloud and, not trusting his eye
| sight he did not call the attention of
the others Of his party to what he
saw. The almost exhausted party
rushed forward. expecting to reach It
within a day or two, bur Mt the end
Of week the mountain was not per-
ceptibly nearer.
On November 2G the party began to
climb one of the smaller mountains

bon, nitrogen and water is not ad-
mitted by Professor Kirschmann.
Under present conditions other ele-
ments enter into organic combination
and he sees no reason why the rela-
tive importance of these should not
be vastly greater in other places and
at other times. He would admit, per-
haps, the possibility of a man made
out of iron, bisulfid of carbon and
chlorin. He says:
ITO say that life Is dependent on
the prevalence of the four organogens
on the surface of planet is again in
correct. They are only the organo-
gems under the conditions of heat,
gravity and pressure as they prevail
| on our earth. Under other conditions
of heat and pressure, other SUBJ
| stances, iron, gold, silicon, may play
the Ole Of organogens and form COM
pounds with similar characteristics as
those very complex and changeable
chemical (organic) combinations
which respond with partial or COM
plete decomposition to slight stimula-
ton. The neglect of this circumstance
is the greatest mistake all those have
made who have hitherto written on
the subject"
To cap the climax, our knowledge
of our own relationship to the EXTERN
al world Is only relative. Professor
Kirschman says of this:
There is one more point which
should make us modest with regard
N OF tt,l,a tg
sible in other worlds. We are accus-
toned to think that we are a part OF
this world-an item in space and time.
But this is a matter of belief, not of
knowledge or science. on closer ex-
animation we find that what we can
say with certainty is that the whole
world as we know 1t is a part of us
| of our consciousness. Not that we
are in space and time-but space and
time are in us. They are the glasses
! through which alone we can see. We
can look through them, but not at
them. If we attempt to take them off
to look at them, we are totally blind.
What they are effectively we do not
know. They are the tools with which
consciousness works. Time
and space are for us the instruments
with which we grasp the world. We
have a lease of these instruments, and
usually lease for less than SO years.
Whether with different mental instru-
ments other worlds may be opened to
us, whether the evil in this world is
real or is only a distortion produced
by the inadequacy of the tools or the
imperfection of us who handle them,
we can not know in this life. We
may discover when the lease runs out"
