The new Chester Park, with all the
possibilities of that charming high

advantage Of being on much higher
ground, Is Victoria Park, a hand
some, spacious private residence park,
located between Pico and Sixteenth
streets, half block west Of Crenshaw

shown in the diagram on this page, are
100 feet broad, lots go to ITO feet wide,
average depth $50 feet, 7-foot sidewalks
and petrollthic paved roadways.

the near future, by reason of the erec-

of tropical plants and flowers, will be-
come one of the chief show places of
Los Angeles.

property and are selling the lots rap
idly.
The building protection in Victoria
Park is such that houses will cost $4,000
and $4,000 up to $40. 900. The first half
Of the lots Is being reserved rapidly
at $1T50 to $2950, averaging about $1,000;
$40 to $40 per front foot. The last half,
it is asserted, will bring much higher
prices.
Substantial and expensive improve
ments enhance the value of real estate.
A conservative estimate of the en-

two years it will be difficult to get
building sites in the park at SIS to 500
per front foot; in four years at 5000
per front foot.

HOME ON KNOLL
HOLLOW TILE AND PLASTER
CHIEF MATERIAL
Network Of Reinforced Steel ls Used
by Desiener-Structure Entirely
Fireproof, Cool, Substantial
and Beautiful

A dwelling house that Is unique in
America has just been completed by
Edwin Bergstrum, a local architect. 1t
Is designed for winterless climate. In
it's construction the exigencies of cold
weather have not been considered. be-
cause cold weather Is not known in
Southern California. The house Is one
of the architectural achievements Of the
southland.
Mr.. Bergstrum while making tour of
Spain came across an old low-lying,
airy building, the striking characteristic
of which was GOODNESS. Wide, roomy
halls led to rooms that were nearly all
windows. There was an abundance of
space. and the breezes blew through
unchecked. The architect decided to
make reproduction of his find" and
that Is what he has done. The Los An
geles climate is as balmy as at Sara
gossa, and GOODNESS just as much to be
desired.
The house-all of it's constructed of
hollow tile and plaster. Floors and
walls, inside and out, are ali OF this. con-
struction The floors are supported by a
network of reinforcing steel, and on this
steel the hollow tile blocks are laid
Besides giving firmness that will

makes an absolutely fireproof building.
1t Is predicted that this "old' Spanish
home will be just as good 100 years
from now as it is today. 1t cost 900.
1t stands on knoll between Vermont
avenue and Temple street in Los An
geles, and around 1t are grounds nearly
two acres in area. If any breeze is
stirring it cannot miss the house on the
knoll. From the balconies there are
beautiful views in every direction.
Nothing is lacking which can make the
place an ideal home in a region where
every month is May-"where falls not
rain nor hail nor any snow, and never
wind blows loudly"

POcahOntaS, the Indian Maiden,
Royalty Received in London.

Pocahontas was born in the year 1895;
her father, Powhatan. was the lord and
ruler of thirty tribes, or clans, of saw
ages inhabiting that vast domain which
was then called Virginia, after the vir-
gin Queen Elizabeth. His friendship
was dearly sought for by the white
men, and considered essential to the
life and success of the colony. Like
most red men, he distrusted the whites
and their desingns.
In England she was treated with all
the honor shown to royalty. Her grace
and charm seem to have won all hearts,
and she was at her ease with the best
in the land. She was presented at
Queen Anne's court, attended a ball
given by the Bishop of London, and
visited the Globe Theater to see Shakes
peare's Tempest" In fact, she took
on the garb and accessories of civiliza-
ton with that easy grace which belongs
to the truly great, and was as much at
home in court as in her own Western
solitudes. But inwardly she seems to
have pinned for her own free, open life
of the forest, and when she was about
to return on the good ship George, she
sickened and died at Grayesend, having
lived long enough as one commentator
has said, to unite two hemispheres, two
races, two civilizations. article

A SAD DEATH.

On Thursday, the 25th, of April the
death angel came and claimed Mrs.
Kate Gowen for his own victim, wife
of T. F. Gowen, at her home near Gra-
dvville, she was victim of pneumonia
fever, all that loving hands and medical
skill could do was done. But the Lord
doeth all things well and saw fit to call
her home to that bright mansion pre-
pared for his children. Her way was
bright and clear, she called her loved
ones around her bedside and babe them
to meet her in heaven.
Thus passed to her reward one of Gods
own, Amounted truly. Rest will be
sweet to her tired, worn, weary and
useful life. But let us all remember
that death claims the budding rose as
well as the fading flowers. We all
must die and may we be as ready to
answer our summons as she.

HAROLD MCCORMICK SCHOOL.

The editor of the Tennessee Equity,
published at Elizabethton, Tenn, pays
a high compliment to Rev. w. G. Glenn
ems both as teacher and a Minister.
1t will be remembered that Rev. Mr..
Clemens left Columbia for Elizabeth
ton, Tenn, last Summer, and was
elected principal of the Harold McCor-
mick School, of that city. The Equity
speaks follows:
The first years work of the Harold
Mccormick School, under it's new man.
agement has just closed, and to say
that it has been the best years work in
the entire history of the school is but
to feebly express it. There has been
several changes in the course of study,
and the teaching force has been more
than doubled during the past year.
Two years having been added to the
course of study, thus bringing it up to
a frst-class, high grade, preparatory
school. For the reason of the two add
ed years in the course the school had no
graduates this year, but several will
complete the course next year,
The school closes this year with all
the departments in good moving order
and running smoothly with the pupils
contented and happy and parents well
pleased and hopeful and expectant of
even better things next year.
The principal Rev. w. C. Clemens,
who came here from school work at Co.
lumbia, KY, with twenty years expert
ence in his profession, is in the opinion
of the Equit'ys representative, the best
fitted man for the Elizabethton school
work where his roundness of character
and ability is considered that the writer
ever met. He is a fine instructor, a
friendly adviser, firm, but kind and af-
fable, and his pupils one and all respect
him, love him, and regard his wishes to
the very highest degree, and more than
this, he fills the pulpit of the Presbyte-
rian church every Sunday morning, his
sermons are always short, concise, log
ical and forceful and during his short
stay the Presbyterian church, which
once had the greatest membership cam
posed of the most wealthy and was
most prosperous, we say since his short
stay the church gives every evidence
of return to these conditions if Mr..
Clemens is to remain with us.
On Monday and Tuesday evenings
were the exercises of the music and ell
ocution classes. The weather was not
very favorable, yet the audience room
of the school building was filled both
evenings. When we remember that
large part of these classes was just be-
beginners, these entertainments were
proof that some hard, continuous and
conscientious work had been done, as
this was the first appearance of many
of them before an audience great credit
is due to the teachers for their efforts.
1t is an excellent showing for the elo-
cution work, as it was an entirely new
feature in the school and community
The efforts of Mrs Clemens have been
greatly appreciated, as is shown by the
large number in her class during the
year, and the desire of so many to con-
tinue during the Summer. She now
has applicant for more than she can
take during the vacation. She has been
able to impart some of her own enthusi
asm to her pupils. She teaches only
high grade music, but her pupils enjoy
it and are learning to render it in an
excellent manner
