fornla, Make Merry at
Eastlake Park

Eighty stanzas of poetry were re-
quired to do justice to the monster pic
mic of Hawkeyes held at Eastlake park
yesterday and when the crowd left they
felt that the half had not been told. for
yesterday the Iowans held sway by the
waters of the lake $4,000 strong, and
right royal was their rule. The large
pleasure ground was so thickly strewn
with Hawkeyes that the grass was
hidden.
From all over Southern California
they came TO picnic under the spreading
trees and to eXtol the glories of Iowa.
No set program had been arranged, but
a prize had been ANNOUNCED for the per-
son who should write the best poem
about the Hawkeye realm. Miss Nellie
r. Cameron, in an eighty-stanza effort,
captured first prize from almost a hun
dred competitors. Miss Cameron is a
resident Of Pomona. Allan Parkinson,
a Los Angeles man, won second prize
with production of less length.
An easy means of finding friends was
afforded the picnickers by the establish
ment of ninety-nine headquarters on
the park grounds, one for each county
In Iowa. When the picnickers found
their county headquarters they were
sure to lind some. old-timers whom they

Our laws should be different to be fair.
In some cases this is an impossibility in
the present circumstances.
For instance, our irrigation laws can
not cover both Northern and Southern
California. Irrigation is necessary only
In the San Joaquin valley and Southern
California. In the northern part the
products are quite different and their
demands are different.
I'm view of these things and for many
other reasons Southern California Is no

ends of the state are more widely

Illinois and Indiana"

ENDING MARQUETTE TROUBLES
Litigation Between Two Groups Has
Been Abandoned

Litigation Between TWO Groups Has
Been Abandoned
BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Feb. 27.-The Herald
today says:
After negotiations which have ex-
tended over the last three months IL
was admitted that an agreement has
finally been reached between ]. p.
Morgan & Co., owners of the Cincin-
natl, Hamilton & Dayton-Pere Mar
quette system and the Bradford in
terests, controlling the Chicago, Gin
cinnati & Louisville railroad.
All litigation between these two
groups has been abandoned and as a
result of the mutual concessions the
$3,500,000 Pere Marquette collateral
trust bonds given in payment for the
Chicago, Cincinnati & Louisville will
be returned when Mr.. Bradford and
his assistants complete ownership of
the railroad.
1t has all along been maintained
that the key for the solution OF the
many problems confronting the re-
ceivership of the Cincinnati, Hamilton
& Dayton-Pere Marquette system lay
in settlement of the Bradford claims.
With this adjusted 1t is believed that
satisfactory terms will soon be ar
ranged with the Pere Marquette Sc
curity holders, the Cincinnati, Hamilton
& Dayton collateral, trust note hold
ers, the owners of Toledo railway and
terminal bonds, interest on which has
long been in default.

CIVIL WAR VETERAN
TAKEN UP BY POLICE

A. Jardine, SO years of age, a veteran
of the Civil war, was found yesterday
wandering the streets and frightening
women and children by his actions.
The old man suffers with st. Vitus'
dance. He has been taken to the po-
lice station frequently In the past and
efforts have been made to obtain a
home at some charitable institution
near the city. Jardine has always re-
fused to stay at any home provided
him and has said that he will not go
to the Sawtelle Soldiers home, al
though his discharge from the army
entities him to admission to that place.
The old man has lived for years in a
room on South Main street, but the
police have never been able to learn
It's location. Efforts will now be made
again. as 1t is thought the old man
has sufficient money to pay for his
fare to a home near San Francisco,
where he says he is willing to go and
remain.
Jardine is known to be the owner OF
piece of property In Los Angeles,
and he receives a pension OF $12 a
month for injuries sustained in service.
The old man has been placed In the
receiving hospital and he will be taken
care of until his room is found.

EUGENE LAWT0N'S HUSBAND
IS ILL IN LOS ANGELES

Percy McDermott, husband of Eu-
genie That's Lawton, former leading wo-
man of the Belasco tbeater, has been
Ill in Los Angeles for several weeks.
Mrs. Lawton has been out here car
ing for him, while her daughter con-
tinues as leading woman of the Castle
Square company in Boston. 1t is under
stood that Mr.. McDermott and Mrs.
Lawton will return to Boston as soon
as he is able to travel.
Mr.. McDermott, who is travelling
man for an eastern house, was taken
i'll some weeks ago, and through some
rather shady work, 1t Is said, he was
sent to private sanitarium, where he
was kept under duress. Mrs. Lawton
and her daughter could get no trace Of
him and 1t was thought be had disap-
peared, as no word OF his whereabouts
after reaching Los Angeles could be
obtained by them In Boston. When
Mrs. Lawton reached here she obtained
a trace of him and through friends and
with the aid of an officer she secured
his release. He is now in a hospital

WOman's Trials.

The bitter trail In woman's life Is TO
be childless. Who can tell how hard the
struggle may have been ere she learnt to
resign herself to her lonely lot? The alb
sence OF this link to bind marital life
together, the absence Of this one pledge
to mutual affection Is a common disap-
pointment. Many unfortunate couples
become estranged thereby. Even If they
do not drift apart, one may read the whole
extent OF their disappointment in the eyes
OF such childless couple when they rest
on the children OF others. To them the
largest family does not seem too numerous.
In many cases of barrenness or child
lessness the obstacle to child-bearing Is
easily removed by the cure of weakness on
the part OF the woman. DR.. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription has been the means OF
restoring health and fruitfulness to many
household. In other, but rare cases, the
obstruction to the bearing Of children has
been found to be Of surgical character,
but easily removable by painless operative
treatment at the Invalids' Hotel and Sur
Eical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y, over which
DIR. Pierce Of the "Fayorite Prescription
fame presldes. In all cases where chill
dren are desired and are absent, an effort
should be made to find out the real cause,
since 1t Is generally so easily removed by
proper treatment.
In all the various weaknesses, dlsplace-
ments, prolapsus, Inflammation and de-
bilitating, catarrhal drains and in all
cases of nerv business and debility, DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription is the most
efficient remedy that can possibly be used.
1t has to its credit hundreds of thousands
OF cures more in fact than any other
remedy, put up for sale through druggists,
especially for woman's use. The ingredi-
ents of which the "Favorite Prescription
! is composed have received the most
positive endorsement from the leading
medical writer's on Mdterid Medtcd OF all
the several schools OF practice. All the
ingredients are printed In plain English
on the wrapper enclosing the bottle, so
that any woman making use OF this
famous medicine may know exactly what
she is taking. DR., Pierce takes his pa
tients into his full confidence, which he
can afford TO do as the formula after
which the "Favorite Prescription" is
made will bear the most careful exam
inatlon.

best and safest laxative for women.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 27.-While
fhe Southern Pacific and Western Pa
dific railroads are fighting for right to
control the water front at Oakland,
they are not unfriendly on this side
of the bay, it is said.
The battle for terminals is not being
waged very fiercely about the Islais
creek basin and as both roads have
secured possession of properties ad-
jacent to the Islais creek it is probable
that great terminal yard will be es-
tablished there for the handling of
freight for not only the Southern Pa
cific but the Western Pacific and part
of the Santa Fe's business,
Dumbarton point cutoff, according
to United States law, cannot be used

but 1t must permit other trains than
those of its line to pass over the struc-
ure, providing the competing road

by A STAFF CORRESPONDENT.

RHYOLITE, New, Feb. 27.-To three
miners, all of whom are now rich is
due the opening of the new Lee dis
trict in the Funeral mountains.
The men are Chet Leavitt, Moreni
Hicks and William Brunn, who two
years ago, about the time Of the found

through the Funeral mountains.
In Echo canyon the first strikes were
made and today throughout the entire
Lee district there Is not property that
has not the monuments of some enter
prising prospector built up to mark
ownership.
A week ago in a prospector's tent on
the edge of Death valley, Brunn. who
was showing me through the country,
told me the story of the great find.
Its because of a burro's temper that
we owe the discovery of this district, or,
rather to the tempers of three sets of
| burros.

and dn the morning there wasn't a
burro in sight tried to find them and
theh started back over the hills on the
way to Rhyolite, swearing every step
fof the way.
Down in the canyon at the old In
dian camp below Burro mountain met
Thoma.
"'What are you looking for?' I asked.
Burros,' he replied.
Found Digging Like Mad
"Well, we got a little water from a
prospector who had a cache and start
ed out. Over on the top of the hill we
met Leavitt. He was digging like mad
into a cut on the side hill and had mon
uments built up all the way up and
down the canyon.
"'What have you got?' we asked
him.
"'Gold, you - FOOLS he yelled, and
sure enough he had lots of it.

staked a lot of ground for ourselves
