NEW ROOM OCCUPIED
BY FEDERAL OFFICERS
Apartment in Tajo Building Has Been
Fitted Up for Their Use-Supply
of Ammunition and
Manacles

AT the United States marshals Office
in the Tajo building they are thinking
of installing a private elevator and of
having "buttons"-all in honor of the
new room now occupied solely by
deputy marshals and court crier.
This room was occupied formerly by
Deputy District Attorney Mccormick"
explained Albert C. Sittel, chief deputy
of the marshals Office, yesterday. 1--WE
have needed something of this kind for
a long time. The main office now has
new furniture, as you see, while here
in our new office next door we have no
end of weapons; 500 rounds of ammuni-
ton, forty rifles, besides handcuffs and
leg irons till you can't rest oNews-
paper men may come here whenever
they please, but no politicians need
apply"
A directory of the occupants of the
room has been arranged as follows:
Albert c. Sittel, chief deputy u. S.
marshall Bert Franklin and Fred Dur
lin, deputy u. S. marshals; Ralph
Dominguez, court crier and bailiff.
All the officers say that the added
room has been badly needed.

l.. Kimble of w. w. Montague & Co.
The Imperial valley looks good to
me. 1t was a fine trip. The growing

L. Schiff of the Western Drug COM
pany-The valley was a revelation to
me; possibilities are immense. Our in
terests are mutual and the trip served
to bring the merchants and residents
in close touch with the merchants of
the Angel City.
E. F. Brunswig of the Brunswig
Drug company-The entire Imperial
valley certainly has a fine prospect. 1t
will be q great business feeder for Los
Angeles and the jobbers will keep
themselves in touch with the hustlers
of that section. The possibilities are
great.
J. L. Matheson-It was a most en-
joyable trip for me. There Is no limit
to the possibilities of the valley sec
tion. 1t is we'll worth any mans time
to go on these trips. 1t was of great
benefit to me.
George Morgan of the Morgan oyster
company-It was fine trip and was
astonished to note the progress that
has been made. Soon l expect to see
80, 900 to 10000 prosperous people in the
valley. The outlook for business is
splendid. Everything looks bright for
the valley and for Los Angeles.

times they would move every few min

Plans for the second exclusion to be
run from Los Angeles to Imperial un-
der the auspices of the Los Angeles
chamber of commerce are fast being
completed. And 1t is the advice of Secre-

that arrangements for their accommo-
dations can be made.

some of the good things which the for
mer pilgrim fathers had to say regard
ing Imperial on the first excursion of
the chamber of commerce to that point:
j. c. Kays of the Dollar Savings
bank-I was very favorably impressed.
The wonders accomplished served as
an eye opener in demonstrating what
water will do even in the desert. The
valley is one of the best producers In
the state. 1t will grow anything and
is great for stock raising.
E. w. Reynolds of e. W. Reynolds
& Colt was certainly fine trip fol

prised at the possibilities of the coun-
try and we should be proud of the
business outlook. These trips are
highly educational in effect.

also good for sugar cane ana splendlo
for raising cattle and hogs. was tolo
that 500 carloads of hogs were shlppeo
from Brawley last year.
S. P Mulford-It was a denghtIul
trip and the journey was series OF
surprises to me. The richness or the
valley is more extensive than an
ticipated and the activity ana charac-
ter of the pioneers made a fne I'M
preston upon the entire party. The
Journey was profitable in many ways
Lee A. McConnell-It is one of the
greatest valleys in the world, ana III
ten wears will be worth to Los An
geles millions of dollars in business
They can produce better cotton there
than in Texas, also great quantities oi
grapes, sheep, hogs and horses. Every
body ought to visit the valley. we
would think more of our own property
and resources.
A. l.. Galbreth of Swift & Co.-The
resources of the valley as seen on the
trip in connection with the needs OF
Southern California for food products
must certainly make the Imperial val
lev a source of great wealth to the en-
tire southwestern section of the United
States. Keep up the trips.
Victor H. Tuttle of X. l.. craig O.
Los Angeles herald., 1908-03-22

a great future before it. Possibilities
are unlimited. Our firm will always
have somebody on the chamber trips.
II. L. Musser of Johnson -Musser

ness and of great benefit. Count me
in on the next and every similar jour-
ney given by the chamber. l am going
to Redlands and Riverside.
e. p. Bosbyshell of the e. P. Bos
byshell company-The Imperial valley
ia one of the richest sections in Cali
fornia and the trip afforded splendid

prospect and the trade of the valley
is one of the greatest value and will
grow in Importance. Trip was huge
success.

Bros Commercial company-I was
very favorably impressed with the pos
sibilities of Imperial valley and may
make investments in that section on
my own account The excursion was a
big success from every point OF view
ais Great Feeder for Los Angeles"
d. J. Brownstein of Brownstein. New
mark & Louis-The Imperial valley Is
still in it's infancy, but 1t is the COM
ing country for results and will prove
a great feeder for Los Angeles. Presi-
dent Stewart of the chamber of COM
merce is to be commended for starting
these business trips. They are good
thing for the towns and for individuals
j. N. Russell of the Pacific Mutual
Life Insurance company-ln ten years
three to five millions of people will be
in the Imperial valley. 1t is one or the
greatest assets of Los Angeles. Keep
up the excursion to nearby points
They are highly educational.
W. ]. King of the Los Angeles COM
pany, Incorporated--The Imperial val
ley is great in possibilities from every
point of view The journey was worth
$4,000 to me, l heartily indorse the
trip system inaugurated by the cham
ber, as the journeys afford our business
men an opportunity to view in BODY
the richness lying close to the city
The trips will result in big things for
Los Angeles.
ats Development Means Much"
Percy H. Clark-It was grand trip.
The valley has wonderful future, and
its development means a whole lot for
the business interests of Los Angeles,
vastly more than we realize now. The
trips are a good idea in the line of
education and in bringing our mer-
chants into closer trade relations with
the sections naturally tributary to Los
Angeles.
Carl Steinlein of Haas, Baruch & Co.
The Imperial valley is wonderful
country Within few years it will
become the best part of Southern Cali
fornia.
A. Burnheim of Anderson & Chans-
lori enjoyed the trip hugely. The

DR.. BARRETT'S STORY ON
REMARKABLE CURES OF
LEPROSY BY SCIENCE

The following article by DIR. G. w.
Barrett of St. Louis, entitled "Out of
Darkness Into Light" and which was
referred to by DR.. Barrett in his tele-
gram to Alfred Farlow appeared in the
Christian Science Sentinel for January
II. 1900:
Il was a practicing physician for
about thirty years. During all this
time, however, l was never free from
some ailment and continually taking
medicine. l thought l could not live
without it. 1t seemed impossible to
get rid of biliousness, which, from a
mortal standpoint, 1 have inherited.
II struggled along from year to year.
trying every new remedy that promised
any relief, growing worse all the time,
till finally l was compelled to give up
my practice entirely and went to the
mountains for a short time, thinking
that change of climate might possibly
help me. But all was in vain.
Il returned to my former home in
Kansas City, Mo, worse than when l
went away-a physical wreck, suffering
from enlargement and softening of the
liver, Indigestion. liberation of the
bowels in the most aggravated form,
heart trouble and that most dreaded of
all diseases, called leprosy, which had
been contracted when called to see
a patient who was afflicted with it, [
felt sense of fear come over me while
in the room, but never dreamed of it's
being leprosy, as l had never seen
case of that kind. | told the patient
that 1 could do nothing and left.
Some time afterward, during my
stay in the mountains, l noticed some
peculiar looking spots on my body, so |
consulted a specialist on skin diseases
and he pronounced it leprosy in it's in
cipient stage. I kept my own counsel.
and returned to Kansas City with the
expectation of settling up my earthly
affairs as soon as possible, for / felt
that my days on earth were few. | can
see now that it was my fear that fas-
tened the disease upon me.

"A few hours after | arrived home
former patient of mine called to see me

Christian Science and wanted me to
try it. | told her that Christian Sci

cure me- | had tried the most power

eft and Christian Science was not half

Cooper's Followers Give Reason
for Their Belief.

With a theory that human health is depend
ent on the stomach and with medicine which
he says proves this theory, l. I. Cooper, a
comparatively young man, has built up an
immense following during the past year.
Cooper has visited most of the leading cities
of the Country, and in each city has aroused
storm OF discussion about his beliefs and his
medicine Wherever he has gone, people have
called upon him by tens of thousands, and his
preparation has sold in immense quantities.
The sale of this medicine has now spread
over the entire country, and is growing enorm-
ously each day. In view of this, the following
statements from two of the great number of
followers which he now has, are of general
interest.
