ALL THE UNITED STATES
GET CALIFORNIA CELERY
Several Carloads of Succuent Vege-
table Are Being Shipped to
Various Parts of the
Country

Persons in various parts of the United
States already have begun to eat the
winter crop of Southern California cell
cry, as two or three carloads day
are being shipped from the Orange
county celery fields. During Novem-
Der the Pacific Fruit Express company
expects to handle 100 cars.
Notwithstanding the acreage this
year is less by 1000 acres, the total
number of cars shipped from the south
ern part of the state will be as great
as that of last season.
Although little celery was raised in
the north this year, Orange county
alone will yield nearly 1000 cars, as
much as was shipped last year both
from the northern district, on the Sac
ramento river. and from southern fields.
In addition to the 100 cars to be shipped
this month it has been estimated by
A. M. Mortensen, southwestern man
ager for the Pacific Fruit Express COM
pany, that 1900 cars will be sent out
from the first of December to the last
of February.
One principal reason for the excel
lent condition of the crop this year is
the plants have been sprayed, the lack
of which caused destruction by blight
of nearly 1000 acres last year.

According to official statements, it is
probable that late tonight or early to-

There must be something like fifteen
or twenty feet yet to go through sald

dirt is in good shape for hauling out.
c. II. Page, when asked concerning
the progress of the day work, said: Il
look for the boys to break through on
the other side about Saturday morning,
although we cannot tell exactly when
we will get through. When we do the
tunnel will not be nearly completed,
and it will take another two or three
weeks before it can be said that the
work. is finished. We are working now
on the two lower drifts, each of when
is in the neighborhood of seven feet in
height. The next two drifts are nearly
six feet high, and the last drift about
eight and a half feet. We have yet 100
more feet of brickwork to do and 200
more feet of the core to take out.

HAS OPTION ON LOTS
FOR ENGINE HOUSE
FIRE COMMISSION PREPARES
FOR EXPANSION
Matter Referred to Chief Lips, Who
Is Expected to Report Favor
ably on Acceptance of
Offer Made

The>fire commission yesterday took a
step in anticipation of the expansion
of the fire department, which probably
will become an established city policy.
An offer of a free option on lot at
Figueroa and Slauson avenue will be
accepted, so that the purchase may be
made with money from the next levy
and a site secured which will be avail
able for an engine house when the lat
ter is needed in that neighborhood.
The Figueroa- Normandie Improve
ment association reported to the coun-
Gil that the sum of $1,000 asked by the
agents was a reasonable one, and the
council referred the proposition. The
fire commission decided that it would
be a good plan to exercise the privilege
of taking a free option on the lots, and
Chief Lips, to whom the matter was
referred in the regular routine, will re-
port accordingly.
Charles G. Spencer and Ed Nusser
were dismissed from the department,
and Frank A. Ball and A. H. Hatfield
were appointed as hosemen, on recon-
mendation of the chief. The claim of
c. F. Blanchard for pay during twenty
one days which he lost because he was
kicked by a horse was referred to the
relief association for investigation. IT
carried an adverse report from the bat
talon chief.

an Arch over Him and He is
Finally Dug Out Only
Slightly Injured

While engaged in digging in an ex-
cavation for a sewer fifteen feet below
the surface at Spring street, near
Seventh Todor Broich, a laborer, was
buried beneath an avalanche of dirt
in the presence of a crowd of people at
9 o'clock yesterday morning. For two
hours he remained half buried, but,
though greatly frightened, he was not
injured.
Broich is employed by A. F. Broom
stead. a contractor living at 5316 Mar
mion way. He was at work in the eX-
cavation when suddenly the earth caVed
in above him and he was imprisoned In
the loose soil. The accident occurred
just as a street car was passing, and
it is thought the jar shook the dirt
loose.
Patrolman Peter Mccain and Ralph
i. Ware, a travelling salesman, wit
messed the accident. Without hesita-
ton both rushed to the aid of the inn
prisoned man, and, regardless of soil
ing their clothing, began removing the
barrier between Broich and freedom.
It is supposed the timbering was frail
as it collapsed and formed an arch over
Broich.
1t was more than two hours before
the man was released from his perilous
position. When he was taken out he
was hurried to the receiving hospital
where the police surgeons found he had
sustained only minor bruises. After
being treated he went to his home al

ISSUES BOOK CONTAINING
HISTORY OF INDIAN TIMES
Railroad Passenger Department Pub
fishes Work Which Tells of Scenes
from the Missouri River to
Pacific Coast

A history of the time when the rest
less Indian and the bison roamed the
country from Omaha, Neb, to San
Francisco, and an excellent description
of that portion of the United States,
is to be found in a book entitled THE
Overland Route to the Road of Thou
sand Wonders which has just been
issued by the Union Pacific and the
Southern Pacific passenger depart
ments.
The book is a work of art, with a
picturesque covering, the front being
a picture in relief from a painting of
pioneer days.
The size of the book is about six by
len inches. and contains seventy-two
pages of history and description, beau
fifuIly illustrated with color plates, and
closing with a poem by Joaquin Miller.
California's poet.
IT is a story of the route of the Union
Pacific and Southern Pacific, from
Omaha to San Francisco, a distance OF
1900 miles. Much of the territory along
this route is still rugged and almost
untouched by civilization and from the
Ieafv coverts of the mountains the shy
deer looks out at the passing trains.
In many sections along this route ma
ture remains as it was before the iron
horse" ever rushed over the steel rails
and it is only by trip through such
scenery one realizes, by contrast, the
nrogress made in railroads and humid
red other industries, within only few
wears.

PROPRIETOR OF RESORT AT

JUDGE JAMES CONSIDERS HIM
UNFIT FOR CITIZENSHIP
Investigation Alleged to Show Appli-
cant Has Been Married Three
Times and Failed to Obtain
Necessary Divorce

After a correspondence covering sew
eral weeks, S. L. Brown, head of the
detective bureau of the district attor-
news office, secured enough evidence
against George B. Purvis, proprietor of
the White City resort, Arcadia, TO
prevent his becoming naturallzed
citizen of the United States. Almost
every part of the country mas beeh
communicated with and information
even has been sought through Scotland
Yard for facts regarding PurVis' for
mer history.
Purvis applied for citizenship Septem-
Der II. but his case was continued when
il was found his certificate of reglstra-
ton, made in April gave his birth
place as Illinois, while he stated on
the stand that he was born in Eng
land. AS he left the court mousse thaI
day he was arrested on charge OF
perjury. This case was, however, dis
missed by Justice Stephens, who said
il would be necessary to send to Eng
land for witnesses.
Hearing of Purvis' application for
citizenship was resumed yesterday De-
fore Judge James. Many of the ques-
tions propounded TO him he refused 10
answer OH the ground that they would
tend to incriminate him. These ques-
lions specially relat- to his experience

married three times and that no divorce
has been granted. Letters from Chicago
show that a woman living in that city
claims to be his wife, that she married
him in British Columbia in 1886 ana
that three children have been born to
them.
Purvis left Chicago in 1900. accom-
panied, it is said, by woman whom
he married later in Philadelphia. This
woman is said to have lost her life in
a gas explosion. Purvis' third matri-
moniaf venture occurred, according 10
the officers, in 1894, in Washington
d. c.
Purvis admitted that he had been
arrested in Portland, Ore, but refused
to say anything about the charge
against him. Judge James said tine
evidence showed Purvis to be person
who has not conducted himself as a
man of good moral character and de-
MED the application for citizenship.

some weeks ago that many of the
new evening bodices were being made

this statement still holds good, but
side by side with these sleeveless
bodices we have others which show

other transparent material. These
draperies fall low under the arms,
and thus form most becoming back
ground for the delicate white flesh. On
the outer side they are open right up
to the shoulder, but sometimes light
clasp is arranged, to hold the fragile
material together, just above the ell

find sleeves of this kind infinitely fiat

whose arms are not quite so white

Apropos the latter let me suggest
that regular course of friction with
