Many Inquiries Received

Through the eastern bureau of the com
mittee in New York numerous illustrated
lectures were given on various California
subjects to large audiences, Among. these
were several delivered before bankers
and other financial men, showing oppor-
tunities for investment and showing
progress and growth since the fire. These
lectures have been instrumental in bring
ing many inquiries from men desirous Of
investing.
The committee is constantly broadening
its work owing to wider activity brought
about by continued and persistent at
tention to detail, and at present the de-
mand on it from all parts of the country
for information is greater than ever be-
fore, necessitating increased facilities. It's
activity in matters that tend to financial
and commercial betterment of conditions

POOLROOM ORDINANCE
is UPHELD BY COURT
Law Forbidding Minors to Play Con-
stitutionaI, Decides Judge Smith
on Appeal of w. Cole
man

The provision of the city ordinance to
prevent minors from playing in pool
rooms was yesterday held to be constitu-
tional by Judge Smith of the superior
court.
The case was one in which w. Coleman,
keeper Of a pool room, was fined $40 by
Police Justice Chambers for permitting
minor to play in his place Appeal was
taken on tie ground that the ordinance
was unconstitutional.

down the shore lies a beautiful 45-foot
sloop of sufficient size to make cruising
up and down the coast a pleasure and
yet large enough to take extended trips
almost anywhere within reason. In the
stable at the back of the house may be
found handsome horses. At the top Of
the house is a well furnished dark room
where photography in its more devious
branches may be carried on.
With these facilities for enjoyment at
hand Miss Irying's days take on a well
ordered regularity. In the morning, pro-
vided the weather permits, Miss Irving
may be discovered al the almost unholy
hour of picking her way down to the
beach clad in a bathing suit. This matu-
tinal ceremony over. breakfast follows in
leisurely manner, and this gives place
in its turn to a quiet hour in the library
with the daily papers-if they arrive
and the answering of correspondence.
Then generally follows a brisk gallop
which may stretch into ten or fifteen
miles, depending upon the mood of the
rider, and a return home for luncheon.
In the afternoon Miss Irving can be
found at the wheel of her yacht speeding
up or down the shore or making short
excursion over to the mainland.
Miss Irving takes inordinate pride in a
matter that is usually considered far
afield from the stage, for it is her de-
light to take possession of her kitchen
and there concoct such delectable crea-.
tlons as may best appeal to the jaded APP

BY wINFIELD S. MORGAN

So easy is the task of procuring drink
at Sierra Madre that the town is scarcely
worthy of being called dry at all.
The most inexperienced seeker after IL
quid refreshments could hardly fail to at
tain the object of his search, and, so far
as I could discover upon the occasion of
my visit to the charming little town nest

only requirements necessary for a sue

of getting off the car at the station, 1

bring my thoughts down to the real busi-
ness of the trip.
Far away down the valley from the ter
mnal stretched the vista of green plains,
orange groves and little clusters of hnnses
here and there, while in the opposite di-
rection Mount Wilson reared his lofty
head to the skies, with "Old Badly"
snow-capped and magnificent, towering in
the distance. The scene was one TO De

SO well recognized throughout the coun-
try that 1t is causing much comment in
the newspapers. The following extract
from the Jacksonville Fla, Times Union
is sample of what is being said:
For California. the magazine pub
lished by the California promotion COM
mittee, devotes it's entire November num-
Der to intensified farming in that state
The vast holdings given over to pastur-
age and grain raising twenty years ago
have, in great measure, been divided up
into small tracts of ten, twenty and for
ty acres each in the hands mostly of
farmers of limited means. While some
of these lands sell for $1,000 an acre.
price which would be regarded as enor-
mously high for farming land in Florida,
yet immigrants are focking into that
state and taking up these lands The
reason? California is wide awake, ad-
vertises her advantages thoroughly and
seems to pull together for California.
The California promotion committee. for
one instance, has nothing to sell, is sup
ported by popular subscription makes no
charges for any services rendered, is af-
fliated with 1855 commercial organizations
of the state with a membership of over
10000, holds semi-annual meetings in diff
ferent parts of the state"
Arrangements have been completed for
the semi-annual meeting of the counties
committee to be held in Fresno December
H. at which time the theme of the meet
ing will be Marketing of California
Products" Indications are that this will
be one of the best meetings ever held.
and large attendance will show the in
terest that is being taken in these semi
annual gatherings.

Retire TO the Ranch.

New York, April 19.-Evelyn
Thaw is tired of the stage, the city,
and endless dressing. She wants to
90 out West and live on a ranch
with Harry. She says nothing on
earth can persuade her to return to
the stage. Dan O'Reilly told me,
she said, that a theatrical manager
almost wept on his neck, lamenting
to think that all this nortorlety was
going to waste" Evelyn resented
the criticism of a writer who found
fault with her because she did not
cry enough on tha stand. She said:
II did not want to cry. bit my
aesh and clinched my hands until
they cut to hold back the tears.
She confessed that she laughed a lit
lie when Jerome introduced her
ilary, because it recalled funny
.hlngs she had forgotten.

Gid Sherwood says, of some very In

across the alley from their own yard
Mr. Sherwood has several times
taken the scratchers back TO their
own premises, but says that he has
never wrung any OF their necks, al
though he has been very much tempt
ed at times. Mr.. Skipton also has
