OFFER TO GIVE PARK
TO CITY Is PRESENTED
Southwest Land Company Sends Pro-
posaI to Park ommission--Highy
Improved Land Is in Vermont
Avenue Square

The proposal of the Southwest Land
company recently to the park commits
sion to give the city the highly i'm
proved park in the Vermont Avenue
Square tract in the southwest part of
the city. has awakened lively interest,
particularly in the section directly to
be benefited. Usually. when the city
acquires park. the land must be first
purchased, frequently at high price,
and then improved at considerable cost.
In this case the park is fully improved
and has been maintained by the COM
pany for several pears past. All the
consideration asked is that the city
shall properly maintain the park.
The offer of the Southwest Land
company to the board of park COM
missioners is in text as follows:
1.-THE undersigned, some three years
ago, set apart a plot of ground, three
hundred ten (310) by two hundred fifty
two (252) feet; bounded on four sides
by the following streets, Budlong ave-
niue, east and west, and Forty seventh
and Forty-eighth streets on the north
and south; Improving with cement
curbs entirely around same with five
co foot cement walks on Forty-sev-
enth and Forty-eighth streets; oiling
and tamping the streets by the Petro-
lithic process. and planting the plot
with choice, rare shrubbery trees and
lawn; gravel walks; also handsome
fountain basin thirty (30) feet in di-
ameter, made Of cobblestones set in
cement drinking fountain and water
piped to all parts of the grounds in
2-inch galvanized pipes connected
from 12-inch water main. This plot
was subdivided in connection with
Vermont Avenue square, and named
Vermont square, and is so recorded,
and was set apart for park purposes
by our company for the benefit of the
residents of the southwest part of the
city.
"This is not presented to you for any
financial gain to. us, as our holdings
in this immediate vicinity are all dis
posed of. We have maintained this
park at our own expense for three
years, and are now prepared to deed to
the city for park purposes, provided
you will accept the same and maintain
1T for a public park.
''This locality is showing the great
est growth of any part of the city, and
public sentiment demands that this
park shall be acquired by the city"

buyers for ten and twenty acre tracts
in its 4000-acre purchase adjoining De-

fifty-three plans which he has fur

Chicago, thirty-nine are either exactly

combination Of sturdy rugged beauty,

This bungalow lends itself we'll to
the conditions OF construction In any
part of the country. If boulders and
and cobblestones are plentiful and
convenient they should by all means
be used, and in laying boulder work
the beautiful rugged effect is produced
by deep joints. In the language of the

San Francisco Men and Canadians In-

Water System

Investors are showing considerable
interest in lands along the Gulf of
California, in old Mexico, especially
near Guaymas. A party of eighteen
San Francisco men have just returned
from trip of inspection to the Yaqui
valley, where they investigated the
property of the Richardson Construc-
tion company of this city. The ma
jority of the party purchased tracts
varying from 100 to 24O acres. They
left Los Angeles on October TO- and
were back here a week ago. On arrival
here they made reservations for other
tracts for relatives and friends.
Those In the party who purchased
were T. B. McElwee, 125 acres, w. ].
Kane, $50 acres, William Butler, 125
acres, j. H. Flory, 240 acres, and e. II.
McClay, 240 acres. James Crawley,
who accompanied previous party, has
purchased a large ranch and Messrs.
Cameron and McQuaig of Manitoba,
Canada, have selected a tract con-
tanning nearly 1000 acres.
Another party of Californians to in
vestigate the Yaqui Valley lands last
month have all purchased, as follows:
p. d. Newman, 80 acres, d. B. and L.
D. Frink, 100 acres, Frank L. Huff
200 acres, G. Andrews. 200 acres
George Parkinson, 100 acres, w. II.

vim p. Rogers, 100 acres, and B. O.. w.
j. and @. B. Howard, 100 acres. All
these are from Mountain View, Cal.
Pleased with Water System
These men are practical irrigators,
and were particularly well pleased with
the water system, which is the work
of several American syndicates having
been planned and partly built as early
as 1884. 1t was completed last year
by the Richardson Construction COM
pany, and the latter is now planning
to place the land on the market.
The. intake at the headgates, on the
Yaquf river, is so constructed that the
water flows first through tunnels, and
then through canal cut for more
than mile. before reaching the sys-
tenn which distributes 1t over the level
fertile valley. Absolute government of
the water flow is thus obtained and all
danger of en- inundation, similar to
that which at one time threatened the
Imperial valley, is obviated.
The irrigable area is said to cover
nearly 100000 acres. 1t is intersected
by miles of canals and will produce
much of the future agricultural prod
ucts.

INCREASE FREIGHT RATES.
Railroads to Make Advance Roth.Ways
First of Year.

Chicago, Sept. 3O-January l the
transcontinental railroads hope to be
able to increase the freight rates on
more than 80 commodities west bound
and on about 20 commodities east bound
between all eastern points and the Pa
cific coast.
Conferences are being held frequently
with view to reaching an agreement
as to what commodity rates should be
increased and what should remain al
present rates. Yesterday traffic men
admitted that all of the commodities
were being gone over with a view to
making increases where possible and
equitable. 1t is stated that all of the
commodities on the list, which include a
number of large consumption and large
tonnage, have borne ridiculously low
freight rates for years. This fact, it is
maintained, is due to old competition,
which was wont to cut rate in order
to get business irrespective of whether
or not it paid.
The proposed increases, if they be-
come effective. will be from every terri
tory east of the Missouri river to the
Pacific coast and will average between
and s per cent above the present
rates. 1t is hoped that most of the in
creases can be agreed upon, and it is
expected that the railroads will be able
to make them effective January l, 1909.

WHAT is HAWAII?
Judge Dole to Decide important Case
Involving Status Of Islands.

Honolulu, H. l.. Sept. 2e.-Is Ha-
waii a territory of the United States,
as Arizona and New Mexico, or is it
an insular possession, as Porto Rico
and the Philippine islands? This is
the question that Judge Dole of the
United States district court has been
called upon to decide and attorneys all
over the islands are awaiting the an
swer to the question, as it will effect
the status of nearly every legal prob
lem that has come up for solution
since the annexation of the Hawaiian
islands.
The issue was raised in the case of
Manuel Perez and Augusta Walsh,
indicted under the Edmunds act A
plea of former acquittal was filed by
the attorneys for the defense, it being
alleged that the defendants were
prosecuted for the same offense and
acquitted in the district court last
April
The point of law raised by this plea
is whether there are two sovereignties
or one in Hawaii If there are two.
as in a state or territory OF the United
States, former acquittal in the courts
of one jurisdiction is not a defense in
a court of another jurisdiction. But il
Hawaii is not a full territory and there
is only one sovereignty. an acquittal
in any court is a bar to further prose-
cution on the same charge.
