get on the car block from my
home and, living in the suburbs, have
a very long ride. The first point of
interest we pass is Occidental college.
This is a handsome building Of red
brick In connection with it is the
Stimson library, which Is also very
pretty In the rear is a third building,
tennis courts and q large athletic field.
Here we see students making their
way to the college and they often stop
to tell the time by quaint sun dial
in the yard.
Going down a short hill we come to
Sycamore grove. This is a very pretty
park. made from natural grove of
beautiful, tall sycamore trees. A lawn
has recently been put in and also ta7
bles, benches and swings for picnic par
ties. 1t is especially pretty here at
this season of the year, as the ground
is carpeted with autumn leaves.
We then pass many lovely homes, go
over bridges and viaducts and pass
the county hospital. where we see am
balances hurrying to and fro.
We finally cross on massive brldge
a tiny stream and it is quite amusing
to witness the disappointment of tour
lists when told that this is Los Angeles
river
Just across the river are the Los An
geles gas works. The main building
is a large and complicated structure.

times sends forth beautiful clouds Of
yellow smoke. If 1T were not for the
unpleasant odor of gas ] should enjoy
being shown over the but ling, but,
as 1t is, 1 am very glad to get past.
Before l arrive at my destination I
also catch glimpses of Chinatown, or
the beginning of onr new pos-office and
of the flag floating over the county
court house.
When I arrive at school feel that
we live in a beautiful city.

a large horse broke loose from his
master in this field and had splendid
gallop, but a big dog spoiled his fun
by catching him by the knot in the
rope which hung from his neck.
One afternoon a boy riding motor
cycle fell off in the road, got badly
hurt, knocked his head in and his
chest out, but jumped UP, slapped one
hand to his head, one to his back and
stopped his motor. 1t was easy to
study there and 1 think nature helped
the teachers, for they didn't get tired
and cross.
In Los Angeles I first went a block
and half to Alpine school. There are
cottages with flowers in the yard. The
cars come north on Figueroa and west
on Alpine, passing the school. On the
corner of these streets are seen the oil
wells where the fires were. There are
two stores on this corner, and one of
them has a bench for car passengers.
Tired people, invalids and mammas
with little children appreciate it, and
would like Los Angeles to have more
of them. In the school block is yard,
most beautiful. The statues, hooks,
arbors, rustic seats, fountains and
fernerles are like fairyland.
I go to Custer avenue school now.
The most interesting thing is watching
the motorcycles puff up and fly down
the steep grade in the sixth, seventh
and eighth blocks

southwest, hill behind which the sun

Dear Aunt Laurie:
1 have never written to The Herald
before, but a friend of mine gives me
her Sunday paper and when 1 looked
at the Junior Department and saw the
nice letters and stories there I resolved
to tell you about my path to school.
On my way to school I pass many
things. Indeed, 1 have many ways of
going and always friends to go with.
Almost always about school time there
comes to our back door a little girl
in a short Buster Brown dress who
has dark brown eyes.
"Is Elizabeth ready for school. and
Is she going to take her lunch?" is the
question asked whenever any of our
family go to the door.
Then we start to school and no
sooner do we get out of the door than
we see some of our friends. l think
the first thing that interests us most
is a steep bank. Down that we go,
pushing each other before us. am
almost always in the lead because
whenever we get near it 1 begin to
run and the others follow pellmell.
giant palm trees standing in a neglect
ed orange grove. There are two beau
tiful rose bushes near them, but the
big fan palms stand as straight as sem
tineIs.
Down a little farther is a giant live
oak tree. The street car line, to avoid
cutting 1t down, has circled around it.
1t is an immense liveoak and there is
a rose vine twining over its huge
trunk Down a little farther we go,
turn a corner and very soon arrive at
our school. We think our school is
the most beautiful In Pasadena. 1t is
a big gray building with vines rum
ming over it.

Letters to Aunt Laurie From NepheVs and Nieces
THROUGH CAHUENGA PASS
First Prize)
Dear Aunt laurie:

Dear Aunt Laurie:
1 live in the historic Cahuenga pass,
and like to walk to the Fremont
school, distance of eight blocks. The
foothills are beautiful and the change
ing lights and shadows and the. bright
flowers make me want to be an artist.
Elegant mission homes, with large
grounds, appearing very tropical with
their wealth of plants and trees, are
on the slopes of the foothills. A dear
little grotto, where one can rest on
rustic seats, is on one hillside. Next "a
boy has a wireless telegraph station in
his home, just for his amusement and
instruction. and nearby is a pretty lit
tie vineyard. A beautiful pavilion
crowns one of the hills. Then | come
to two elegant stucco hotels. Que COW
ers an entire block, and both have fine
tennis courts. Often parrot calls out,
Good morning, little girl; don't be
late to school and break the rule"
Sometimes see two darling little chill
dren standing close to a trolley pole
just to hear the wires whisper when
the cars pass, they say All along the
street are graceful pepper trees and
palms, and immense sycamores are in
the background. In one large tree is
built summer house, where we some-
times have picnics. 1t is fine to be up
among the leaves. Huge banana trees
are very tempting now with their clus-
ters of golden fruit hanging over the
street.
AS L look east I see los Angeles
with "Old Baldy'' peaking in the dis
tance. When look west see the
ocean and Catalina island.
Come out some fine morning, Aunt
Laurie, and enjoy walk with me be-
tween my house and the school house.

My Dear Aunt Laurie: though that
I would write upon this topic:
First, when start from home I kiss
my mother good-by. I see first in
front of a house a beautiful bed of
chrysanthemums of variety of col

some very large pepper trees; we have
shade Of large pepper trees most of
the way. There is a large house on
the corner of the street where we live;
they have no lawn, because it is just
new, but the house is very nice. My
Sunday school teacher lives there. She
is very nice indeed.
Then we come to some more pretty
little homes that have lawns and pret-
ty flowers In front. There is a path
which we cut across when going to
school, and after we have reached the
street we reach more pretty homes
They have pretty lawns.
In one place they have one beautiful
large cat. Then we come to the corner,

"eRUNT," A BADGER

Los Angeles, Oct %, 1905.
Dear Aunt Laura:
1 will write you about pets that
have known.
My mamma had a pet badger named
Grunt. They caught him on the place
and in an hour he would follow her
anywhere. She would take him to see
the neighbors and they would all be
on the porch, but when he went up
on the porch they would all run in
the house. They were afraid of him.
He bit lots of people, but never
mamma. They would put him in the
wagon and he would fall out on a
chicken and have it killed before any
one could get him. He would play
hide-and-see with them and seem to
have just as much fun as they.
My cousin had a chameleon. 1t is

FOR FORTS
THAT ANOTHER
SLICE OF BEACH PROPERTIES
WILL BE CONDEMNED.

The United States War Department
will probably institute a condemnation
suit against J. A. McCandless for the
purchase of his Waikiki residence
within the next few days. In addition
to this the Federal authorities have
been making preliminary inquiries in
regard to the price which will be ask
ed for the Damon and Levers proper
ties which are also desired and lie
still further toward the Seaside hotel
on the Kalia road.
1t is hardly expected that any land
beyond this will be taken but the own
ers of property at Waikiki in this
section feel very much hurt over the
fact that the new barracks, which
mean the presence of a large number
of soldiers, will hurt the value of their
land for residence sites. Several ex-
changes of property in the vicinity
of Diamond Head which have taken
place of late seem to show that the
residence section on the beach is NOV
ing further out.
