BOARD OF REVENUE MEETS.
Transact Little Business fin Regula
 Weekly Session.

 Weekly Session. In an hour and half. yesterday, the Board of Revenue discussed numerous road and bridge routine matters, but transacted little business of a final na-
  ture.
 Probably the most important order made was the passage of resolution declaring a certain road leading from the Philadelphia to the Rocky Mount road a public road. The road Is three miles long and is the road over which the Merritt Bradley controversy oc- cured.
 Action on the award of the contract for gravelling five miles of the Wood ley road was postponed until next Mon day. The reports recently submitted by Examiner Purifoy On the books and accounts of Tax Assessor A. H. Flu bank, Tax Collector G. w. Halls and ex-Tax Assessor c. T. Pollard were not taken up.

Every RexaII Formula Is Public Property And
 Always Has Been

This is an age of inquiry. Not since the time of the Civil War has there been so much agitation in the minds of the people on various subjects.
 People "want to know" about everything.
 We do not say that the public has grown skeptical-qute the contrary. We believe it is day and age of enlightened, intelligent inquiry after facts.
 Each man and each woman nowadays wants to do his and her own thinking. They are not looking for any concentrated essence of wis., dom boiled down and given to them in capsule form. They want to figure out for themselves what is right, and what is wrong and what to do about it.
 Public sentiment has forced the government of the United States to compel patent medicine manufacturers to state on their labels the ingre- dients of the remedy inside of every package.
 We believe that the Rexall remedies have had as much to do with the creation of this senti ment as any other one single element in the country.
 Why?
 Simply because the Rexal remedies, from an entirely new line.
 The first principle in the Rexall platform was one remedy for each ill-not cure-all.
 Second-no secret combinations. Every formula has always been open to the public; any one can know what he is taking when he buys Rexall-and always could.
 Third-every Rexall remedy has been sold on the basis of "money back" if you are not more than satisfied.
 This is frank, square, open-handed dxssm<ss. that's all. sBut it made Rexa the greatest success in the medicine world in very short time.

GREATEST YEAR

LEADING OPERATOR GIVES
REASON FOR GROWTH
Manufacturers, Bankers and Trades
men Find Los Angeles an Inviting
Field for Business Propositions.
Climate Is Incompatible

I'VE will have a greater year in
1907 for growth, prosperity and whole
some development in and around Los
Angeles than ever before, said e.
Avery Mccarthy of the Mccarthy
company.
TT is not so much to be wondered at
that we are having phenomenally
fast growth and that we improve with
such giant strides. 1t is rather a
source of wonder that we do not i'm
prove and progress faster.
"The one attraction climate while
the greatest attraction in the world,
has ceased to be the impelling motive
for many to come here to live. Los
Angeles now offers manifold attrac-
tions, and all branches of business,
finance, trade and commerce look first
with greedy eyes then come on to join
the large business interests that are
united together in our city. The man
of finance finds he can live here in
comfort the year around, rear his fam
lily under perfect climatic conditions,
and yet be in close touch with all parts
of the world. The manufacturer finds
many avenues of production awaiting
the proper guide to success; the mer-
chant finds many eager buyers in his
handsome shops; the clerk finds en-
ployment easily; the pleasure seeker
finds wonders abundant, and all find an
air full of the wine of life, the sting
of winter taken from it, and the tor
rid killing heat of summer eliminated.
with so many advantages and with
no disadvantages, it is not then, as |
said before, small wonder that we grow
so fast; and it is not more to be Won
dcred at that we do not grow even
faster?"

D. A. Hamburger, on the Eve of His
Departure for Europe, Gives
Talk on the Future of
Los Angeles

d. A. Hamburger, accompanied by
his mother, Mrs. Jennie II. Marx, and
daughter Miss Marx, will depart Feb
ruary -5 tor Europe to be absent Tor
an indefinite period.
Frequent expressions on the real es-
tate situation in Los Angeles have APP
peared in the columns of The Herald
and all o. his predictions as to ad-
vance in values have been realized.
Mr.. Hamburger believes that during
the next few months his present hold
ings will increase in value fully 25 per
cent. Referring to recent experience
he stated that at night, promenading
on the beach at Ocean Park, the band
playing and quite an audience listen
ing out in the open air, ladies were
hareheaded and the gentlemen were
sitting around on benches. There Is
not another place in Europe or Amer
lea where this is possible in the month
of January, and this one fact is the
reason for the almost incredible ana
marvellous growth of Southern Cali
fornia. AS long as these conditions
continue so long will property in
crease in value until it has reached
that point where it no longer will pay
interest on a higher valuation.
Mr. Hamburger looks for choice prop
-srty in Los Angeles to be worth $lO,-
900 front foot, and nearly every piece
of property south of Seventh street
and north of Sixteenth street between
Main and Figueroa streets, to double
in value in the next five years. HE
says that he will take his chances on
holding his property until MS return
from abroad. There may De siasna-

PARIS I0 NOT TO HAVE

PARIS, Feb. 2.-Paris is not to have
women cab drivers just yet, and the
Jarvies of the city, who are becoming
a little restless at the prospect of Sc

narration of their woes. 1t was said
that at least three cabwomen would
make their appearance on the streets
on January 1, They were attending
classes as a mere formality. just to
satisfy the authorities that they knew
all about the business of cabdriving
1t now seems, however that they have
yet to learn this business. The three
candidates for the whip came up for
examination recently. The examiners
were severe. unjust, as some people
think, for the candidates We're
"ploughed," One knew her Paris very
badly, and proposed fantastical itin-
eraries between the Bastille and the
Trocadero. The others, who knew the
city well enough, were totally ignorant
of the mysteries of the taximeter. But
the would-be cab drivers are not dis
cOuraged. They propose to return to

SAVINGS BANK ROBBED
BY CLEVER SWINDLE
special Cable to The Herald.

special CdDle 10 L ne I1erdlu.
BUDAPEST, Feb. 2.-The Budapest
Innerstaden Savings bank has been
robbed of $50, 500 by an ingenious fraud
concocted by bank clerk and an ac-
complice.
Last October the bank received a let
ter purporting to come from wealthy
landowner, who usually kept a bal
ance of over 100000 to his credit, that
he had completed a purchase from a
certain j. Muller of Vienna for $62 500,
and requesting the bank to pay this
sum to Herr Muller on demand.
At the same time Herr Muller wrote
to say that he did not want the money
Immediately, and asked that it should
be put to his credit, and asked that a
check book be sent to him. This was
done. and all the money was drawn
out by check in six installments be-
fore the end of the month.
When the landowner called at the
bank the extent of the swindle was
realized. Suspicion fell on the clerk,
who had resigned a short time before,
and he was arrested at his parents
house just as he was leaving for Aus
tralia. His accomplice was also ar
rested. Most of the stolen money was
found in their possession.

NATURE OUTCOME
BY INVENTION
MADE GRANITE SURPASSES
REAL STONE
New Material Promises to Create a
Revolution in the Building Trade.
Will Begin Monday to
Build Factories

Work on one of the largest marble
and granite factories in the United
States will be begun tomorrow when
ground will be broken on the site of
the new buildings for the California
Granite Manufacturing company, on
Dayton street and the river.
The new company produces one of
the most remarkable inventions of
modern times. The chief product is a
manufactured granite, a composition of
stone so put together that it cannot be
told from granite and manufactured in
such compact form as to make it a
most remarkable building material.
Signor S. Giletti, president of the new
company and inventor of the granite
making process, recently arrived in Los
Angeles from the east, where he had
been securing his patents and making
arrangements to give his discovery to
the world.
He is an Italian, a member of one of
the most famous antilles of marble
workers on the Eur 9ean continent, and
his work is the result of four genera
tions of eXperimenters.
Has Double Strength
When the granite is manufactured
even the grain is perfect and follows
so closely the lines of the living rock
as to defy expert examination. Several
blocks of the stuff have been on exhibit
tion in Los Angeles during the past
| week and have been objects of wonder
10 prominent builders here.
A block of the manufactured granite
Is hollow and delicately chiseled on the
surface. It's weight is lightly less than
the weight of a similar piece of granite
and from the statements of experts
the manufactured granite Is just about
twice as strong.
With it the inventor hopes to give to
Los Angeles and to the United States
the solution of the concrete building
problem. For years this question has
been unsolved by builders throughout
the country. The attempt to obtain a
cheap material thai will look as rich
as the heavy stone of the east and yet
be light and Just as serviceable has not
been successful.
When the concrete work first came
before the builders they Immediately
took 1t up i'm the hope that solution
had been found. But, according to the
statements of prominent contractors OF
Los Angeles and from The statements of
eastern contractors in their annual re-
ports, concrete work has been found
most unsatisfactory and accidents of
the character of the collapse of the
Blxby hotel at Long Beach several
months ago have been of common oc-
currence throughout the country and
have shown the failure of the concrete
to stand the strain of heavy building.
