the way from the populous cities OF
the Atlantic to the Pacific coast, with
the result that 1t Is but a few days
journey in regal comfort from Gotham
to the Angel City, traversing q coun-
try of immense wealth and finally
reaching the chosen land Of perpetual
sunshine and flowers and a section of
equal wealth and greater possibilities
In the way of development.
The immediate Pacific coast region is
provided with four great overland
railroads. The Southern Pacific was
the first to arrive. 1t is with us to
stay, and like the other lines, provides
the best of passenger and freight SER
vice for the people. The Sunset
route" of the Southern Pacific enters
Los Angeles by way of Ell Paso on the
south and Ogden on the north, and
also by the Shasta route on the north
west. eThe Santa Fe system, which
penetrated California two years after
the Southern Pacific trains began to
roll into the city, comes to the coast
from the southern direction, through
New Mexico; and the Los Angeles,
San Pedro & Salt Lake trains climb
the mountains and arrive from Salt
Lake.
"The land of promise is the west.

is room to grow" is the keynote of the
! literature of the railway companies,
and the railroads are bringing hum
dreds of thousands of people from the
east to the coast to occupy irrigated
lands, to fill the factories and to popu-
late the cities and towns famed by
the gentle breezes of the Pacific.
The Southern Pacific railroad alone
brought over $4,000 tourists to Cali
fornia last year, and many of them
have become colonists and settlers in
different parts of this and other states
of the far west The low price of fer
tile lands, the handsome returns from
wise investments, the comforts of
home living in an ideal climate, and
the possibilities of systematic irriga-
ton of uncultivated land, have been
the loadstones that draw the easterner
from the discomforts of the frigid win
ters and oppressive summers OF the
far east and middle west. Every im-
portant section of the Pacific coast is
touched by branch lines Of the big

ASPHALT EoR PAVING

Asphalt is universally recognized as
the best material for the paving of the
streets of the cities of the country.
There are many kinds of pavements.
Each has merits of Its own. Los An
geles has adopted asphalt for paving
and thousands Of miles of residence
streets and avenues are put in splendid
condition at private and public expense.
Asphalt is composed Of asphaltine and
petrolene. The asphaltine is a hard,
coke-like substance. while the petrolene
is the tarry, soft ingredient that has
the adhesive qualities and binding
properties that hold the whole to-
gether and make the excellent pave
ments so much in demand. Los An
geles has several companies who have
constructed many of the city streets,
and all are in first-class condition.

LIMA BEAN PRODUCTION

California is a noted state for the
successful production of lima beans
Ventura county leads in acreage plant
ed to beans. In 1906 in.that county the
yield was over 100000 sacks while the
figures for 1907 We're about 100000: The
sale price ranges from $3.50 to $3.50 a
sack of 100 pounds. Blackeyes are OF
about the same value in the market,
while the smaller varieties are higher
on account of steady demand.

of the leaves, after lying in the sun
for several days, were planted on town

SLOWED signs of growth, and now
every leaf is carrying new foliage, in
some cases much larger than the orig

LIFE AND DEATH.

The State Of Texas has taken steps
to expurgate from one Of the school
books passage from John Green
lief Whittier's most popular poem,
Barbara Frietchie. !" And that re-
calls how much more powerful is the
imagination than memory.
In the first place, Barbara Fret
chic did not wave a flag at Freder-
lex. In the second place, her grand
son was one of Stonewall Jackson's
ragged rebels" that day. In the
third place, she was in sympathy
with the south, and if she had waved
a flag at adj that day, it would have
been the stars and bars and not the
stars and stripes.
Mrs. Southworth imagined the
story and wrote IA Letter to Whittier
relating the circumstance. He sat
down, with the inspiration of genius,
and produced the poem that begins:
Up from the meadows, rich with
corn;
Clear in the cool September morn.
The first chapter of the Book of
Job, translated into our tongue, is
the head of all English speech. 1t
is doubtful if there ever existed that
man Job in physical person, but the
man who wrote Of him imagined him,
and he will live forever and forever.
The same is true of Barbara Friet-
chic.
And thus the womb always exults
over the grave, and life prevails over
death. Indeed, death is the begin
ming of another life, and death is
progress. Washington Post.

GELS would be paid by afixing ordi-

But our friends, the express COM
panies, who are adopts at looking
through the hole in mill stone, per-
ceive that if the people once get a
taste of real parcels post they will
raise such a Juror to have the thing
applied to the whole country that
congress will slip out from under con-
troll, and the first thing we would
know Germany, and the rest Of the
world, would have nothing to brag
about in the way of superior mail ia
