A FIREPRooF HOME.
In a Winterless city-Unique and an
Architectural Achievement.

\ dwelling house that Is unique in
America has just been completed by
Edwin Bergstrum. an architect of
Los Angeles. California. II is de
signed for wintcrless climate. in its
construction the exigencies Of cold
weather have not been considered be.
cause cold weather Is not known
there. The house is one Of the archi.
tectural achievements in Southern
California.
Mr.. Rergstrum while making a tour
OF Spain. came across an old. low
lying. airy building. the striking char.
actoristic Of which was coolness.
Wide, roomy halls led 10 rooms that
were nearly all windows. There was
an abundance OF space. and the
brcczes blew through unchecked. The
architect decided 10 make a reproduc.
tion of his find" and that Is what
he has done. At Los Angeles the eli.
mate Is as balmy as at Saragossa and
coolness 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 all OF this
construction. Tile floors are support.
ed by a network of relnNucing steel
ard on this steel the hollow tile blocks
are laid. Besides giving firmness
that will stand any weight. this con
struction makes an absolutely fire
proof building.
II is predicted that this "old"
Spanish home will he just as good a
hundred years from nuw as II is to-
day. 1t cost 10000 It stands on
knoll between Vermont and Temple
Avenues in Los Angeles. and around
It are grounds nearly two acres in
area. II any breeze is stirring II can.
not 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"

Extension Of City's Corporate Limits

of the state, proceedings having been
instigated at the county seat yesterday
by Prosecuting Attorney Compton.
The quo warranto information charg-
es that the said action of the city was
not only was great injustice to the
owners Of the land, because Of the in
creased taxes, but was illegal, in that
the city cannot provide fire, police or
other municipal service or protection:
also that the city does not need the
land, nor does the city's growth require
it. The land, the complaint continues,
is remote from the business center and
canuot be used for other than farming
purposes. 1t is asked thot the city be
required to prove the legality Of its &C.

clare the land forever outside the cor

A New Subscription Plan.

The NEws has decided, after much
delibera,ion and fully weighing the
the matter pro and con, to adopt the
subscription plan now generally follow.
ed by up lo.date aewspapers-th the pay
iu-advahca Ilan. In the past this
paper as we'll as al, others using the
credit system. has bean compelled 10
repeatedly nrtily subs ,ribars OF delin
-quency and has found it no easy matter
to do this in such way as 10 give no
offense. Subscribers who have per.
mitted their dues to rock aloug unpaid
for from two to nine years are not apt
to see wherein the editor does them a
favor by keeping them posted rs to the
amount due, and sometimes are 60 Of.
Tended ss to .discoc tinue their subscrip.
ton, thus making the editor suffer
for ex lending them the favor OF credit.
Hereafter all this will be avoided. The
paper mailed to you will bear not only
your name but also the date to which
your subscription is paid. A few weeks
before your time expires you will re-
ceive notification reminding you OF
the fact II the figures are not eel
ahead thu name will be dropped wher

the time is out. We do not believe in
forcing the paper upon anyone who
does not want it and shall merely take
your failure to renew rs indicating you
want the paper no longer. This is fair
to everyone and we believe will meet
with no objection.
1t has come to the point where the
editorof country paper can no longer
afford to lose penny OF subscription
money. With the price Of paper and
ready print more than double what it
was few years ago the subscription
price remains at the same old figure, so
at the same old figure, SO that news
paper men have ceased to figure prof
it on circulation. Every dollar lost on
subscription is full one hundred cents
out OF our pocket. Some idea Of what
the new plan will save the paper may
be obtained when We tell you that tho
credit system has lost this paper not
less than 500 year in the past. This
in itself is sufficient reason for the
change.
Many country weeklies have advance
ed the subscription price to s1.50 per
year, We belive, however, that for the
present, at least, this is unnecessary,
and will keep the price at the old figure.
Those who are behind on subscrip.
ton will shortly receive notices OF the
same, and may set their figures ahead
at any time between now and January
/, 1908. DO not fail to give tho notice
your attention, so that all possible
errors may be corrected. II you are
sending the paper to someone else it
would be advisable to call at the Office
and see how their figures stand, IL only
to avoid our sending them a statement
instead Of to you.
The new plan will work no hardship
on anyone, will save us considerable
money every year and save you the
anpoysnce OF 'dun" when, for any
reason, you fall behind, Sensible peo
pie will like this sensible plan

ANXIOUS TO TRY AIUSHIPS
General Allen Gets Ready to Experiment
with Balloons at Omaha.
HOPES TO HAVE BEST CORPS ON EARTt
Inventors VIII BE Given Opportunity
TO show Their Devices, but
None VIII BE Bought with
out Trial.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.--Quietly, but with
q determination to thoroughly satisfy him
self on the subject, General Allen, chief
signal officer of the army, has been making
preparations for most extensive experiments
with balloons, airships and aeroplanes, with
the view of settling upon some system of
aerial navigation for use In operations Of
the army, either in times of peace or war.
Recently there arrived In this country
from France type Of balloon used by the
French army which was purchased by the
signal corps In order that its merits might
be tested in competition with balloons of
American make. while in New York there
IS being constructed an immense balloon in
which It is proposed that the men Of corps
shall make their trial ascents.
1t is the intention to conduct the expert
ments at Fort Omaha, just outside of
Omaha, Neb., and for this purpose $4,000 of
money already appropriated has been al
lotfed for fitting up the fort with all the
necessary appliances including gas tanks,
repair shops. etc,
All Machinery May BE Tested.
General Allen said today that he will be
prepared to conduct experiments with every
conceivable kind Of machine offered and all
will be given trial before board of Of
hcers but the department under no cir
cumstances will purchase plans of balloons
or machines not already put to practical
tests
General Allen said today that he believed
this country was far ahead of any other
in the matter of flying machines. Already
he said. there had been developed some
which would furnish a few surprises.
1t is stated that the balloon corps of the
French army numbers at least 600 men, al
expert aeronauts and 1t Is expected by the
department that before long the American
army will have an equipment superior e
that of any other army in the world.
Just how soon the experiments will be
made is not known, but General AIler
proposes TO lose no time in completing his
plans and he hopes that before many
months to have the tests under way.
