The Broadax.

A city man who went out into the
Ozarks to learn to make railroad ties
was asked by native whether he was
right or left handed.
IF you are left handed" he was told,
"you will have to get a left handed

The city man replied: "I'm wise to
this left handed monkey wrench bust

there is no such thing as left hand

Upon Vegetation.
The famous white nights of the
north are most surprising phenome-
non to the visitor from southern climes.
1t is weird experience, declares A.
NJ Scott in 'Through Finland" to sit

midnight and read newspaper or to

A spirit Of rest and peace is over all
the earth. The sky is bright. not with
the fiery brilliancy of noon, but with a
tender. gentle radiance. The colors of
the landscape have become softened,
but not blended. There are no shad-
ows save for week or two In June.
night projects faint, ghostlike shadows
toward the south. The sun just dips
below the horizon and no more. There
is no division between the sunset and
the dawn. The same rosy flush serves
for both.
Summer in Finland is, in fact, one
long day Never a star is to be seen,
and when the first faint star glimmers
in the south it is sign that the sum-
mer Is past and that the autumn frOsts
have arrived.
The long light has marvellous effect
upon vegetation, forcing its growth at
dollhouse pace. The white nights" &C.
count both for the suddenness Of the
burgeoning and for the intensity of
the heat Land and water have no
time to cool. One cannot fail to be
struck with the enormous size Of the
foliage upon the oak and hawthorn
trees as compared to that to which we
are accustomed. Botanists have ex-
planned this as being due to the larger
supply Of light. 1t has sometimes been
suggested that we may hasten the har-
vests by the use Of artificial lights.
Nature herself does this for the Fin

The commission has already gone on
record strongly favoring the retention
of Capt. Fries as the government en-
gineer. ,, A.. ii.
Can't, Fries refused to discuss the sit
uation yesterday, merely saying that
he was making his preparations TO
leave in August.
If the new bill providing adequate
enlargement of the corps of engineers
to meet the additional responsibilities
accruing through the Panama canal,
the Philippines and the greater harbor
improvement in the mainland is passed
by congress 1t will mean more rapid
advancement for the OFFICERS than III
other branches of the service. Under
it's provisions Capt Fries Is likely TO
be made q major within two years, SO
the inducements for him to remain IN
the service are greater than II ne were
in the cavalry, infantry or artiilery;
AS the responsibility of the engineers
department is apt to grow proportion
ately greater in the future this induce
ment is therefore stronger.
Members of the City club VINO were
conducted about the harbor by capt
Fries and who heard his address at the
virginia Saturday night were unan-
imous in saying that the city would
find his services an extremely proht-
able investment at $4,000 year IL
they could be obtained at that sum.
"If 1 were a rich man I'd be glad 10

Angeles" said Frank G. Henderson

TENS is a complicated device which
was made by the boys themselves and
ordinarily costs about $3.50.
Members of the company have the
benefit of the entire equipment at the
disposal of the Triangle cadets, which
include the 50x100-foot armory in the
Association building, the rifles, the
locker rooms and the new automatic
sub-target gun recently purchased at
heavy expense. The entire battalion
numbers about 1875.
The requirements for membership In
the signal company are that the recruit
take his oath to be subject to military
discipline and must enlist for one year.
The enlisting officers accept no men
who are under feet inches, the
United States army and navy require
ments being 5 feet inches.
The advantages of membe hip, aside
from the technical training in systems
of signaling, include the military dis
cipline, the personal contact with other
members of the company and the Off
GERS, and the educational value of text
book study In learning the different
systems. The regulation army hand
books are used.
Members of the signal company gel

cational and physical privileges of the

VIII Deal with All Glasses
For long time there has been war
fare among the produce dealers of Los
Angeles and keen competition among
the Japanese and white dealers. The
policy of the new concern is to deal
with Japanese and whites alike, and
they hope with the intended improve
ments to regain some of the trade
which, it is admitted has been lost
Recently the new market" as 1t is
called in distinction from the "old
market" has been established at Ninth
and San Pedro streets under control of
Frank S. Simpson, the Los Angeles
produce dealer. 1t is said that a great
deal of the Chinese and Japanese trade
has gone to the new market" and as
the result of last nights change a
merry warfare among the fruit and
produce dealers may be expected,
which will doubtless result in favor of
the retail dealers.
It is said that every stall in the "old
market" will be opened July 1, a num-

LARGE BUSINESS

Merry War for Trade Is Expected
to Benefit Retail
Dealers

A deal involving $3500O0 was pro-

of the "old market" are all prominent
in the fruit and produce world. con-

the Beasley Berry company, G. 5.
Marston of the firm of Marston e.
Martin, e. B. Rivers, president of Riv-
ers Bros Produce company; Phil L.
Wilson, president of the Traders bank
of Los Angeles, and M. Zuckerman Of
the Weyle- Zuckerman company.
The former controllers of the "old
market" who were present at last
nights meeting and who relinquished
their interests in the concern are A. M.
Cline, president; j. w. Robinson, vice
president; Harry Houck, treasurer;
Richard Goddard, secretary, and w. A.
Henry, general manager, all of whom
are widely known in the fruit and pro-
duce business of Southern California.
Deal a Surprise
That the contamination of the big
deal will precipitate a lively competi-
ton between the new owners of the
"old market" and the recently formed
new market" is assured, and the deal
will be a big surprise to the fruit and
produce dealers of California,
Although the deal was practically
closed last night, the papers have not
been drawn up and the election of Off
GERS of the new owners and other in
cidental details have not been yet con-
cluded.
1t is understood that e. L. Rivers
will be president of the new market
company, although this has not been
formally decided upon.
| The new controllers of the "old mar
ket" represent some of the most power
full forces In the fruit and produce In
dustry of California, which is the same
as stating in the the United States.
The Beasley Berry company and the
Marston & Martin company are said
to control 80 per cent of the berry in
dustry of Southern California, which is
regarded as valuable asset In starting

In speaking of the transaction last
night E. b. Rivers said:
1--WE have succeeded in making salts

market and intend to open July l on
