GoLDFIELD, New, Sept 24.-Press
humorists of America who have been
guests OF this and adjoining camps
since Sunday departed this morning Tor
their respective homes. They tried In
vain to purchase the gilt painted lodges
(Which. had been painted for their
beneft) in one Of the big mines, but
having no money their offer to- pay in
verse was declined.
The party left here this morning In
their special car at $40. Arriving at
Beatty at HAS their coach was
switched to the Las Vegas & Tonopan
railroad and they proceeded toward
Las Vegas, which was reached late IN
in the afternoon. ey saw the
town, were admired by the inhabitants
and then the party divided. the Los
Angeles contingent and a few others
starting for the coast, and the others
travelling eastward in their special car.

The eastern party is due in the Nor
mon city at noon tomorrow. whence
they will go on to Denver and Chicago
over the Union Pacific.
are not always viewing things from
standpoint of funny men Is shown by
the opinions of some of them ABOUT
what Los Angeles needs. Some OF
their criticisms are practical and seem
to be we'll taken.
On their way to Goldfield several OF
them were kind enough to give inc
Herald their ideas of what Los An
geles needs most. Here are few OF
their suggestions:
Everybody Too Happy
my kick on Los Angeles is that
everybody looks so wholesome ana
happy and prosperous that when you
do meet solitary cripple or beggar
or invalid the latter looks the more
miserable by contrast.
"F. W. SCHAEFER,
cleveland Press"
Signs for sleet
Los Angeles! My only objection Is
the absence of weather. You nave
nothing but climate.
BRING Cleveland West
my only criticism of Los Angeles Is
its distance from Cleveland.

More Street Signs
FOR the comfort and convenience
and peace of mind of the wayfaring
man who is looking for friend whom
| he hasn't seen for twenty-five years,
and who lives somewhere in the resi-
| dence district, Los Angeles should
have more street signs and Its houses
more conspicuously numbered.

Here's a Wise Suggestion
1.-THE only criticism I can find on the
way things are done in Los Angeles is
the excessive and dangerous speed at
] which automobiles and motorcycles are
operated in the crowded districts.
understand they have an ordinance
regulating the speed of these ma
chimes but 1t does not seem to be lived
up to. s. e. KISER,
| Chicago Record-Herald."
Better Street Car Service
THE street car tracks of Los An
geles should be continued on one street
as far as possible and especially should
| not turn from main thoroughfares near
points of congestion. AS now prevail
| ing the streets at crowded corners are
criss- crossed with tracks and danger is
| constant AS far as possible tracks
should cross at right angles.

| York city"
Yonkers Bachelor Happy
| The irrepressible Yonkers Statesman,
as might be expected, bursts into song.
| This time it's a pretty tribute to Los
| Angeles maids and matrons:
My criticism of Los Angeles is that
| the City of the Angels has too many
beautiful married women who ought to
be single. and too many single beauties
who ought to be married. am still a
bachelor-what's the answer?
The southern girl has eyes OF blue.
The shade of southern sky:
| They often fill my soul with Joy
And make me want to sigh.
| The northern girl has Jet black eyes,
I've seen them big and bright;
| The eastern maiden's eyes OF gray
| Have filled with delight.
| But. for those soft bewitching eyes.
Those eyes which love to tease,
| looked in vain until came.
| To dear Los Angeles.
