POTENT BUILDING INCENTIVE

1
After lapse of nearly three years in
local railway expansion an active re-
sumption is promised now. Three i'm
portant enterprises of this kind are in
the preliminary stage, one of them be-
ing the most stupendous project ever
undertaken by. corporation In Los An
geles.
The three projects referred to, named
in the order of their Importance, are the
| subway system of the Los Angeles-Pa-
cific railway, the East Seventh street
line of the Los Angeles railway system
and the West Tenth street continuation
of the Ninth street line. In addition to
these features of railway expansion
there are three or four extensions of
present lines that are likely to be con-
structed during the summer upon
which we are just entering.
A glance at the map of Los Angeles
gives an idea OF the effect these projects
will have in the development of the
city in sections to be traversed by them.
Each of the three lines will pass
through districts splendidly situated
for home sites, which need only railway
convenience to induce rapid improve
ment of them.
The subway system, which is al
ready practically commenced will pass
through the heart of the most desirable
residential section in the northwest and
western suburbs. 1t will also, by rea-
son of the extreme speed promised, on
private right of way, open for home
sites a fine stretch of country reaching
toward the ocean. Evidence of what
the subway will effect. in the apprecia-
ton of property values. is seen in the
fact that lot prices on the general sub
way route have gone upward with a
bound since the project became cer-
tainty.
The construction of the East Seventh |
street line, to be completed before the !
end of the present year, will make
available Q sectton of the city that is
unsurpassed in natural advantages for
home sites. 1t will bring "close in,"
comparatively, the high plateau form
ing the southern part of Euclid Heights
and the scenic mesa adjoining on the
southwark, extending to the eastern
boundary of the city. Seventh street
is the present central dividing line of
the city, latitudinally. 1t is the widest
general thoroughfare in the city and is
destined to be q great business artery.
The extension of the present Ninth
street line on Tenth street, now pro-
vided for, will give access to the beau
tiful section lying north of the bluff
range known as Pico Heights. Lack
If railway accommodation has held that
district back thus far, in home improve
nent, but assurance of the Tenth street
railway is causing a rapid advance in
ot prices in all that neighborhood. II
These railway enterprises, all of
which will be pushed during the sum-
ner months, according to plans already
will have a marked effect
n stimulating the building of homes.
Thousands of homeseekers who own .
OTIS in the sections referred to, or who
are ready to buy lots when they see
that railway accommodation is a GER
.ainty, will now wait no longer sLum-
Der prices seem to have reached hard
,an and the best judges believe that
great activity in home building may
,e expected in the second half of the
,ear.

HYNINGER STAR
COLLEGE PITCHER

Statisticians who have dopod out the
seasons playing records of the big COLI
lege baseball mines put up tho claiW
that the work OF the pitchers, outside
of Princeton and Cornell. did not at
tain the same high standard as that
during the season of 1906
In the opinion of many experts the
lions share OF the seasons honors fan
TO Heynlger, Of Princeton, and Deshon.
of Cornell. The work OF Drewes. who
was Prncetons substitute twirler. Is
highly commended, and he Is placed
among the top-notcbers.
Heynigcr's brilliant work for the
Orange and Black places him In the
list of Princeton's greatest twirlcrs. as
il was largely due 20 his skill in the
box that the championship honors went
to old Nassau. In 1906 he was the
second pitcher on the Princeton team,
and he did not have an opportunity 10
show his prowess against the big COLI
lege mines until the latter end of the
season, when he assisted In staving OFF
defeat on several occasions by being
put in games which were started boy
other twirlers. Heynlger's form in the
preliminary game of the Tigers was

tendency than did Heyniger. Drewos
Ia the games he twirled, succeeded IT
shutting out Holy Cross. Pennsylvania
Exeter and Andover. Against the latte
nine he pitched a "no-hit-no-run'
game.
Deshon's biggest feat Of the seasoi
was his work In the Thinning battli
between Cornell and Pennsylvania

CLIMATE NO CURE
 FOR CONSUMPTION
Patients Will Do Better at Home,
 Physicians Tell Ministers.

St. Louis, Feb. 27.-The ravages of consumption, which destroys , 1000 in St. Louis every year, have caused the Christian Ministers as- disease and aid it's victims. Dr. Louis M. Warfield, member of the medical staff of the city dispensary and head of the tuberculosis clinic there, addressed the ministers Mon day on the white plague"
 The principal thing to do, said he, is to persuade people to begin fighting the disease in it's first stages, when it can be cured, for af ter it has passed certain period all learning can avail nothing. IL is certain, he declared, that science has as yet no cure for consunptio".
 It is folly, and waste of munoy time and hope, he said, to seEd pa tients to Colorado and other so called cure climates. With p"0por care and treatment, the patients are better off at home. One uf the worst evils. he said, is the mental worry incident to the disease Con sumption stays, he said, more vic- tims than any other three diseases
 Dr. Wartield, with others inter- ested, is trying to raise ,nCney 10 establish a sanitarium in St Louis for treatment of the disease in il incipient stages.
