Chicago, March 15.-Three hundred
tailorg who met here yesterday I'M
der the auspices of the Merchant
Tailors' National Protective associa-
ton, decided that SO far as color is
concerned gray will predominant dur
ing the coming season. 1t was point
ed out in this connection that the
majority of the tailors have large
stocks of last years grays still on
hand, and that it would on this ac-
count be unfair to make any other
color fashionable
Dressy browns which have not yet
disappeared from the shelves of all
the tailoring establishments in the
west, will do as a second choice, while
really new designs in tweeds will be
delivered to patrons who absolutely
insist on having what they want.
The exhibition which went with the
talk was participated in by tailors
from Chicago, New York, Cincinnati,
Baltimore, Philadelphia and Boston,
and was witnessed by many gentle
men of the trade from Illinois, Wis
consin, Indiana and Ohio.

Editor Herald:r You want me %
say something on "The Progress of Los
Angeles and the Present Outlook" We,
if you had made that request year ago,
I'd have said: Go way. It's an old
story" But l have been absent for
nearly a year and while the conditions
in Los Angeles that are the foundation
of its progress and prosperity have in no
wise changed, some outside influences
have been injected that have caused
slight and temporary departure from the
general aspect.
Granted that l am in the position of
one who is more or less familiar with
the conditions in Los Angeles, yet haY
ing been away for a considerable time,
am still in a position to receive fresh i'm
pressions and to study the situation from
the standpoint of a semi-outsider, so TO
speak Added to this are the impressions
gained from the exploitation OIL California
at the jamestown exposition. These give
one good idea of the feeling of people
elsewhere in the country and of the
bearing this will have on the progress
and prosperity Of our city and state.

which spread over the country regardless
of actual local conditions, this is perhaps
an especially favorable time for investi-
CATION, comparison and reaching conclu-
sions.
Los Angeles a Marvel
1t is scarcely necessary for me to
state, as emphatically as l can, that Los
Angeles is safe, sound and all right in
every particular. The people of Los An
geles know this. The rest of the coun-
try knows it. There is, so far as L can
see no change from the growth and
prosperity that have made Los Angeles a
world marvel, except in the changed
financial conditions which are in no way
based on conditions here. financial or
otherwise, and which are only tempo
rary.
There has been no check in the growth
Of the city. Nearly 100000 persons have
been broupght to California by the rail-
roads under this years colonist rates, the
usual lions share of whom have come
to this part of the state. Thousands of
these will make their permanent homes
here.
These people must have houses 70 live
either in the great business blocks or the
cottages and mansions that have given
Los Angeles such enviable fame as q
home city.
The crops are excellent. This has been

have been exceptionally good The new
crop just now ripening promises equally

OF agriculture and horticulture. There

Los Angeles cannot stop. It must go
ahead. Nothing can stop it. This city
doubled in population during the decade
between 1890 and 1900 which period in
cluded the panic in 1893 and the ensuing
year of hard times. Now we are in a
condition Of great prosperity. The city
and its superior advantages are better
known than ever before. Everybody
wants to come here. Everybody wilt
come here. If we don't get that half-mil-
lion population in 1910 we will come

New Text Books.

The text books for the public
schools of Nevada will be
changed for the coming year
that is the plan now. Although
there is some opposition to max
ing an entire change, the indi-
cations are it will be a sweep
ing one and that none of the
present text books will be left
when the newly organized board
gets through its work.
The last legislature created a
state text book commission, "
giving the board the authority
to change the text books every
four years. The board consists
I of the state board of education
which is composed of Governor
Sparks, Superintendent Ring and
President Stubs and four per-
sons to be appointed by the gov
ernor. The appointees under
the act are George E. Ander-
son of Elko; E. E. Winfrey OF
Reno: ]. C. TaT.saas. T. {, ..,;s

One meeting has been held, but
it will be some time before the
question of the change and what
books are to be adopted is fully
decided.
The law provided that the bids
on the books, etc., shall be open
ed June 4th.
Another educational bill which
has attracted considerable at
tention provides for an entire
change in the state system.

Clean Up.

We would call the attention to
the order of the sheriff, relating
to the cleaning up of the town
found elsewhere in The Record.
This order should meet with the
hearty cooperation of the peo-
pie, so that it should not be
necessary in any instance for the
officer to take forceable meas
ures to have this done.
We should all take enough
pride in the appearance of the
town to see that our individual
property presents a clearly APP
pearance, for there is nothing
which indicates sloth and lack of
enterprise as unsightly streets
and private yards, and on the
other hand, one of the first
things observed and remarked
on by the stranger coming into

standpoint of cleanliness, All

Another thing which is being
carried on and which will Ger.
tainly not help the condition Of
the streets, is the piling of the
clay dirt from the excavations, in
them. This kind of dirt will
never become so that the least
moisture will not render them
in an almost impossible condi-
ton. True, the streets may
need leveling in many places,
but why not put in the proper
character of gravel. Last sum-

not the case at present and

MAY TRANSMUTE METALS
BY RADIUM CARNATIONS
Sir William Ramsey Makes Important
Discovery in Experiments with
Copper, Reducing 1t to
Lithum

BY Associated Press.
LONDON, July 27.-Sir William Ramsey,
the distinguished chemist has promised
to communicate in writing in the near fu-
ture to the chemical society the results of
his researches into radium emanations.
In this connection the announcement is
made that he has succeeded in degrading
copper to the first member of its family
that is, lithium.
The Lancet today says the discovery
marks an epoch in the history of chemi-
cal sciences and believes it is a realiza-
ton of the transmutation of metals.
The announcement is likely to reawaken
the discussion of the transmutation of
elements which ragged a year or so ago,
when several prominent scientists repu-
dated the transmutation idea, while 9th
ers just as strongly supported it.
Sir William Ramsey himself modestly
disclaims the ability to transmute ele-
ments, but he believes that the results
of his degradation of copper will be of
far reaching Importance.
