A RISE IN MARRIAGES..

One of the states of New England
is casting off her old troubles. For
some years Massachusetts was look
ed upon as a state of single unbless-
edness because of the tens of thous-
ands of unmarried people resident
there The Massachusetts old maid
had become an institution sub
ject for the humorist, the philoso-
pher and the preacher.
Some of the devotees of marriage
moralized most gloomily about Mas
sachusetts. They proved by figures
that within a given period there
would be no more union In wedlock
in that commonwealth, and that SO

would cease to be known quantity.
The vital statistics for that state
for the year 1905 are now at hand
and demonstrate that there has been

And thus by one of those unae-
countable diversions of an apparently
resistless tendency, the whole work
of statistical moralists on the sub
ject of Massachusetts single blessed
ness is threatened with destruction.
1t cannot be said that the work of
the theorists has done it, because no
amount of statistical warning would
incline the individual to marriage

sible for the desuetude of marriage
At time of highest cost for do

Massachusetts, rises to its highest

STRIKE SETTLED
At GOLDF|ELD
All Disputes Reported Adjusted, with
Assurance That Active Mining
Operations Will Be Re-
sumed at Once

F. A. Mcdonald of the F. A. McDon-
aid company received a message yes
terday from Go,dfield that caused great
rejoicing among the gold mining con-
tingent in the Bradbury building.
The telegram contained the graft
flying news that all labor troubles at
Goldfeld had been adjusted, with the
additional statement that all of the
mines in the district would be open
within a few days.
Those in close touch with the situa-
ton at Goldheld have felt all along
that at an early date the disputes
would be satisfactorily adjusted and
that the men would return to work
to continue the development of the
most marvelously rich mineral district
in the world.
Private adtices received by the Nc
Donald company confirm the report
that the Okell drill is wonder in it's
work. Some weeks ago one of the
Okell drills was shipped to Goldfeld
met the expectations of the inventor,
who is a resident of Los Angeles. This
drill is five inches in diameter and goes
through solid ore easily to a depth of
1000 fet. The drill has been operating
on the Mohawk, Jrr property and is
boring through ore of exceedingly rich
values. BY many the Okell core drill
is claimed to be the superior of the
diamond drill. On the Mohawk, Jr,
the drill has passed through porphyry
and tale striking solid quartz forma-
ton at a depth of sixty feet.

NORMAL SITE TO
Be SOLD TODAY
Property Bought Quarter of Gen.
tury Ago for $4,000 Will Bring
Half a Million at q
Auction

The state normal school property,
bought twenty-five years ago for $4,000
and now worth at least 100000, will be
sold at public auction today. The price
named is the lowest at which the prop
erty will be sold. 1t is thought by
some of the board that a much higher
price will be realized.
If the property is sold today the ques-
ton of a site for the new normal school
will arise. The Ninth Ward Improve
ment association appointed commit
tee consisting of Dr. G. w. Campbell,
Judge r. M. Lusk, Major Powell, War
rem Wilson and j. B. Chaffey to go be-
fore the normal board and protest
against the selection of site outside
of Los Angeles.
They are ready to provide any one
of the three choice sites in the Boyle
Heights district and deed them to the
state for normal school purposes. All
three are on car lines. Several sub
urban districts are also desirous of Sc
curing the normal school.

APPOINTS YOUTH AS
MAGAZINE EDITOR

Charles II. Mills was appointed man
ager Of the Los Angeles high schools
semi-annual, the Blue and White, last
night after almost a month of compe-
tition among other members of the
senior A class. The class was unable
to agree on any of the candidates who
were running, so Prof. Housh decided
to appoint a third party to preserve
the peace.
Mills promptly appointed as his aide
Ray Petty, one of the former candi-
dates, yell leader for the high school,
and one Of the most popular boys In
the school. Mills, who is the son of
b. Fay Mills of the Fellowship, has
made an enviable place for himself in
high school life by his brilliant schol-
arship and by winning the interschol-
astic oratorical contest for his school.
Although the boys have mot much
time in which to get out their maga-
zine they are both confident that they
will be able to turn out the finest Blue
and White the high school has ever
seen.

ASK DAIRYMEN
TO PAY COSTS
Health Board Favors Charging In-
spection Costs to Rarchers Whose
Stock Is Examined by clty's
Representatives

Though the city officials favor pure
milk and proper inspection, some ques-
ton has arisen as to whether the peo-
pie or out-of-town dairies should pay
the freight.
With the five inspectors now on
Health Officer Powers staff 1t will be
possible to send men in the counties
adjacent to Los Angeles. 1t is planned
to do this, but the travelling expenses
win be a heavy item. The board thinks
the cost should be assessed against the
ranchers whose places are visited, if
possible.
Only by examining the sources Of
supply of milk can the city learn under
what conditions 1t is produced, but this
is the purpose Of Mayor Harper's health
board.
DR.. Moore of the board is making an
independent examination of some of the
dairies and other members viii do like

Fifteen Miles North from Court
House and Increases Safe

trip to the dairy district fifteen miles
north of the court house to examine
the condition Of the Los Angeles river
bank.
He ordered much additional fencing
erected and inspected that which Is al
ready there.
Inspection of the river is one of the
duties of the health department. AS
much of the city's water is taken north
1t is necessary to see that horses, cows
and pigs grazing do not contaminate
the water. For this purpose miles Of
fenceing is in place along the river
banks built by the city.
Many ranches and stock farms line
the course of the river and much milk
is produced in that section. Thus DR..

BRIDGE ENGINEERS
AVE PLANS READY
COUNCIL WILL SOON FURNISH
NEEDED FUNDS
Downey Avenue, Seventh Street and
Macy Street Structures viii
Soon Be Under Way, Off
ciaIs Promise

City Engineer Homer Hamlin's force
is rushing bridge plans so that every
thing will be ready when the funds
admit of actual construction work.
Delays due to condemnation proceed
ings have held back plans to some ex-
tent, but lack of funds has been the
actual cause. This will be changed
after July.
Chairman r. W. Dromgold Of the
bridge committee visits the department
almost daily in connection with the
bridge work and he declares himself
satisfied that most of the obstacles
have been overcome.
1--WE will soon have work started on
the bridges from the Downey avenue,
the biggest of them, to the smallest.
The Seventh street and the Macy street
bridges seem to be attracting much
attention. These three are perhaps at
tracing more attention than the others
at present.
1--WE have decided to pay for the work
out of the tax revenues. We need not
Issue special bonds then OF course,
bridge building Is slow work, but we
will have the funds, we hope, as fast
as work progresses"
Like Huge Y
The proposed Downey avenue bridge
will extend from near Elysian park to
q point where Pasadena avenue and
Downey avenue would converge. The
bridge with approaches will be Y
shaped, with two forks for approaches
-one toward Pasadena avenue and
Avenue Eighteen another toward Dow
ney avenue. The other end of the
terminates on Buena Vista street at
Elysian park. The steel and concrete
work is about 900 feet long. The eX-
tensions are each about 450 feet long.
The bridge will be between the pres
ent Buena Vista and Downey bridges.
The former will probably be abandoned
altogether later.
The section nearest Elysian park Will
be of steel Then there will be an
arched concrete bridge, then the ap-
proaches. The citys share of the cost
will probably be $4,000.
The Salt Lake railroad owns much of
the land needed for approaches. This
will go through condemnation proceed
ings. cottage also stands squarely
on the line wanted. This will be moved.
The Seventh street bridge will be a
three-arch concrete structurel Where
one Of the piers will rest there is now
a submerged sunken pier, relic of the
former bridge. This will probably be
blasted and the fragments used in rip
rapping.
The Macy street (De los Posos) bridge
work.
Oppose Grade Crossings
According to the plans now on file in
the engineers office, grade crossings
for the steam roads are provided al
each end of the Seventh street bridge
The board of public works made no
change in this because some property
owners objected to the cost of an in
cline approach if the bridge spannet
the tracks, and teaming interests also
urged a level approach to save theil
horses. These at least are the reasons
given why grade crossings were per-
mitted.
On the other hand, strong opposition
to grade crossings is manifesting itself
in the ward and elsewhere. The dan
ger to life and limb has been so often
demonstrated in this respect that Or
ganized objection may be forthcoming
before the plans are finally adopted.
