a Gathering of all the Los Angeles and
Southern California state societies at

he has summoned representatives OF all

ber of Commerce building at 1850
o'clock next Monday evening to make
final plans.
I'VE believe that between $4,000 and
SO, 900 people would attend such meet

our meeting in the Bradbury block the
societies of Iowa, Texas, Illinois, Ohio,
Indiana, Massachusetts, Vermont, TEN

Health Board and Police Commits
sion Are Scheduled

The two holidays this week work to
a disadvantage as far as the mayors

FIND WOMAN IN WHITE
NEAR MAN FATALLY SHOT
Chicagoan Held Up in Washington
Park by Three Men--Well
Dressed Girl with Him

CHICAGO, Sept. Crank P. Arnold
probably was fatally shot last night
after being held up by three men near
Washington park, and a mysterious
woman is being sought as a possible
principal in the case.
When persons in the park heard the
one shot fired at II o'clock and ran
toward the place where Arnold lay
they saw a we'll dressed woman in
white bending over him. She fled as
they approached, but is said to have
called the police by telephone.
Although Arnold said that one of the
holdup men shot him, he is known to
have been with a woman answering
the description of the missing one be-
fore the shooting. What part she
played in the affair, if any, Arnold re-
fused to say, and his silence has in
duced the police to believe that she
may be able to give some discrepan-
cies in Arnold's story.

garding Himself to Hospital
Attendants

his body was removed to the undertake
ing parlors of Robert Garrett & Sons.

al from a lodging house at sol East
Sixth street ten days ago. He was
supplied with sufficient funds to meet
all his hospital and surgeons bills, but
was very reticent about his place of
residence, and information concerning
his family, and as he had destroyed all
papers, letters and other means of
Identification, and refused even when
told that he would die to give any in
formation. concerning himself, the hos
pital authorities and the surgeons in
charge of his case were much mystified.
He was about 80 to 40 years old, D

Hollywood next!

Hollywood neXt!
Embodying what was declared to be
a practically unanimous sentiment for
union with Los Angeles, the board of
directors of the Hollywood board of
trade last night adopted the following
resolution:
Resolved, That the sentiment of
the board of directors of the Holly
wood board of trade favors the con-
solidatiOn of Hollywood and Los
Angeles at the earliest practical
moment.
Citizens who were at the meeting of
the directors spoke in favor of consoli-
dation, which will be possible when the
election on the Colegrove and other dis
tricts brings Los Angeles up to Holly
wood as contiguous territory.
The resolution was introduced by
Alfred u. Taft, and the other directors
present and voting for it were Presi-
dent E. C. Hampton, Secretary c. c..
Hall, E. Fossler, A. e. Merrill and L. o.
Somers.
Philo j. Beveridge, who spoke for
adoption of the resolution, said that an
extended canvass had been made of
Hollywood on the question of CONSOLE
dation with Los Angeles, and that only
one man could be found who opposed
it. Col. j. j. Steadman and others spoke
for the consolidation movement.
Holywood's Growth Fast
Hollywood has poulation of 1920 and
an assessed valuation of more than $4,-
O0O, 000 1t has a national reputation as
1.-The beautiful foothill suburb" The
city was Incorporated in 1903, and the
population at that time was but 700.
Building permits average 525 year
and about $1,000 a day. The Hollywood
board of trade has a membership of
250 of the leading men residing in that
city.
With consolidation of Los Angeles,
San Pedro, Wilmington and Hollywood,
the annexation of the western district,
now planned, and the regular increase
of population in the city limits, the
of taking the census should be 10000
greater than the 100000 predicted for
the city in 1910.
A conservative estimate of the pres
ent population within the city limits is
327 6S5.
The annexation of Arlington Heights,
the Wiltshire district, Colegrove, South
Hollywood and the other tracts in
cluded in the boundaries of the district
for annexation of which petitions are
now being checked by the city clerk s
force should add 10000
Hollywood will bring 5000
The natural growth of the city will
give $4,000.
The aggregate of these figures should
give more than 3570 900 as the census
population inside the city limits Of
Los Angeles.

Lightning struck the. house of Mr..

last Friday night. 1t was almost a
miracle that the family escaped seri-
Gus injury. The bolt of lightning
entered at one corner of the roof,
splintering the rafters and studding
and badly tearing the plaster off Of
the walls. The family were sleeping
in another part of the house. and
were not disturbed. The house did
not catch fire, although the kitchen
was densely filled with smoke.
EMMONS COUNTY'S BUMPER
CROP BEYOND ALL EXPECTA-
| TIONS.
Notwithstanding the predictions
of Patten. the Wheat King, it is
safe to assume that there will be no
shortage in the food supply Of this
locality at least, for some time to
come and Emmons county will in
future be recorded as one of the
best grain-producers of the state.
The difference between MIR. Farmer
and Patten is that Mr.. Farmer can
feel contented and enjoy himself
with the record of honest toll. and,
if his good wife wants peach
basket bonnet, it is nobody's bust
ness. Emmons county will also be
noted for its dairy products if those
selling cream will bring their sup
ply to Tom O'Brien. next to the
Phoenix Lumber Company. where

are sure to get full weight and test,

"fiold. v our w heat" Circular


a circular advising farmers to
hold their wheat for higher price
is being sent out by the Society Of
Equity. Even though the price
named may not be obtained, il is
certainly the part of wisdom for far
'ners who are not compelled TO sell
at once to hold back at least a Dor
ton of their wheat. The circular
follows:
That the members of the Ameri
can Society of Equity are busy in
their work to prevent a temporary
glut in the grain market this fall
which would mean cheap prices tn
the producers for the 1909 crop
is evident by the resolutions passed
by the convention of District Union
No. |, held in Fargo July q, 1909.
1t was resolved to urge all members
having pledged grain, and others
who are willing to help the cause
along, to market their grain
through the Equity Cooperative Ex-
changes at Duluth. Superior and
Minneapolis until the society can es-
tablish the Equity Terminal Compa
ny. which they are about to incorpo-
rate. Every farmer in the grain
growing states. including those
who are members and those who are
not members of the society, is ad-
vised to hold every portion of this
years crop that is possible off of
the market until they are able to Sc
cure the minimum price. the same
as they did last year. and they will
be successful regardless Of specula-
tive interests on the boards of trade.
The following figures are the
minimum prices agreed upon at all
terminals for No. ! grades:

Lost-A Hat

A rather large delegation Of citizens up

court here last Friday to testify in the
Farley-KimbaIl case but as the case was
compromised they returned home in the
afternoon. The crowd seemed to have
a good time going home. 1t is not stated
what they had with them. but when the
train got about eight miles out Of town
Riley Lake discovered that he had loa
his hat. Col. Tom Sale persuaded the
conductor to Stop and the crew and the
passengers made a search but failed to
find it. Finally the conductor secured
Riley's consent to go on by making a
promise that the crew would Stop and
pick up the missing head-gear on the re-
turn trip the following day. We under
stand that the promise was fulfilled and
,ahe hat was returned to the owner.

seems to think Medicine Lodges trair
