seats of the house are TOO short
coupled to f1t him. and he spends most
of his time strolling around-never
out of earshot when a roll call is on,
and ever ready to put the % stamp on
pending legislation Montee braces
himself as he walks, which accounts
for the position of the enclosed dia-

Montee is a second termer, and un-
derstands the game fairly well, This
latter statement is based upon the fact
that he has not yet announced himself
as a candidate for congressman from
the Third district.

A FEW WORDS OF WARNING

Who should and who should not
come to Southern California? Not
hose who expect to find money-mak-
ing easier here than it is in the east,
except that labor may be performed
under pleasanter climatic conditions.
Not those who expect to find ''soft
snap" or light job. Los Angeles is
doubtless the very worst city in the
United States for those who expect to
find a clerical job of any kind, or to
start small retail business, for the
reason that this section is overrun by
thousands of invalids from the East
who are glad to work for a little over
the cost of their board and lodging.
On the other hand there is big de-
mand for mechanics at good wages.
Al so, the farmer who has some money
and is willing to learn new ''trickS"
may do well here. Local conditions
are, however, SO different that no
easterner should think of purchasing
" PiOSO VI ioi PioPCIoy CtiCAl nv
has first studied conditions and eX-
perimented for six months or year.
The man who sends money at dis
rance, in return for something he has
not seen, unless he is thoroughly well
acquainted with the person through
whom he purchases, is a fool, and
deserves to be skinned"
Again, as to mining stocks. The
discovery of rich gold fields in South
ern Nevada, that promise to rival
the Comstock, has let loose upon the
whole country a flock of vultures who
utilize the advertising columns of the
the big papers to float dubious mining
companies. 1t is not asserted that
all such ventures are unsafe-for the
mining industry is a legitimate and
a great one-but the most rigid scrut-
my is a prerequisite to going in.-Los
Angeles Times.

REELECTED
DIRECTORS
Stockholders of the Electric &
Water Co. in Excellent
Condition.

The stockholders meeting of the
Electric & Water Co. was held Tuesday
evening. While the meeting was not
as largely attended as was hoped for,
a majority of the stock was repre-
sented and the directors were elected,
and such other business was disposed
of as was found necessary.
The statement of the business con-
dition as made by the manager, and
also the superintendent report,
showed the company to be in excellent
condition. While the expenses have
been quite high during the past year,
this is more than compensated for by
the valuable improvements that have
been made, and aside from few
miner improvements that are yet to
be completed, the company is very
well equipped.
The following directors were elected:
E. P. Arpin, J. A. Gaynor, d. d.
Conway and the two recommended by
the Common Council of the city of
