MARKET LETTER.
Prosperity the keynOte-Unrest in
Case of Labor.

Holiday quiet prevailed in the
stock market. This is the season of
the year when many concerns are en-
gagged in making fresh plans for the
future, and speculative attention is
generally diverted in consequence.
good undertone exists and a hopeful
feeling Is shown regarding the future.
Railroads are doing a large traffic,
and the volume of business is gener-
ally up to the pre-panic level, and in
some cases is in excess. The country
now feels the stimulus of agricultur-
al prosperity. Everyone is familiar
with the fact that Western farmers
and Southern planters have been re-
ceiving phenomenally high prices
for their products this year, enabling
them to be liberal purchasers of
clothing and household goods, not to
speak of such luXuries as pianos
talking machines, pianolas, automo-
biles, etc. Not a few farmers, in
stead of buying more land, are MAX
ing investments in securities with
their surplus funds, condition of
affairs which will eventually pro-
mote the floating of all sorts of ques-
tionable schemes intended to entice
the inexperienced.
Prosperity of the farmer is natur-
ally followed, though in a less degree,
by the activity in industrial circles.
All our large plants are busily run
ming on full time and over, and labor
Is we'll employed. In commercial
circles there Is a corresponding de-
gree of activity, and the only classes
who are not sharing in the benefits
those whose work is of professional
nature. The latter, however, did not
suffer during the panic, but often
benefited thereby in a reduced cost
of living, 80 cannot seriously com
plain. But those who took the brunt
of the disaster should now have an
opportunity of averaging up. Labor
is showing much unrest and making
demands for higher wages in order
to share the improvement, often for
getting that it took little of the loss
which followed the panic. While it
is satisfactory to record a generally
active state of business, it should not
be overlooked that the benefits of
such activity have not been fairly dis
tributed. Its advantages have large
ly gone to certain organized classes,
who should now be content to see the
unorganized get a share before de-
manding more for themselves.

many Of our readers 70 think that the

manage to enter the library precincts
while Miss Yer Steeg and her assistants

In the late Gazette for last week there
appeared an editorially inspired commun-
cation in part as follows: I'VE as set
of farmers want paper that will print
both sides of question and not do as
our neighbor the Enterprise did this week
with the meeting between our committee
and Mr.. Wetzer. All we want is a
square deal and a true representation Of
the case"
Had the writer OF the above taken the
trouble to interview the secretary of the
Farmers Union committee he would have
been told that the Enterprise waited up
on the committee for their report of the
interview and was informed that they
had nothing to make public. The seere-
tary of the Farmers Union committee can
not do other than bear US out in the as
sertion that the Enterprise report of the
meeting was true.
As evidence that the Enterprise plays
fair" to all. we have asked the Farmers
Union committee to use our columns for
any statement they may wish to make.
We much question whether the suhsioiz-
ed Farmers Union organ-the late Gaz-
ette-would be as willing TO give every
one square deal.

1.-THE Farmers Daughter"

The story of "The Farmers Daughter"
which will be the attraction at the Grand
for March l6. while not a new one to
stagedom. has been treated so eleverly
by the author that It has developed into
stage offering Of more than usual merit.
1t deals with the story Of a beautiful girl.
the daughter of a New England farmer.
who marries against her fathers wishes
only to find that the man who she has
married has deceived her into mock
ceremony. The father is unforgiving and
casts her from his home. But through
the efforts Of two kind hearted friends
everything turns out right.
The play introduces two characters
that are destined to leave considerable
impression on the audiences. They are
two children of nature; characters that
we find in nearly every village. and the
authors clever drawing OF "Hy" and
''Thankful'' will prove well worth seeing.

TAKING IN FRANCE.
To the Great Amusement of the
Woman's Club.

For some time number of the
young ladies of the Woman's Club
have been contemplating trip
abroad.
Last week they landed in France,
with their chaperone, Mrs. Ella NJ.
Jackson, and when heard from on
last Saturday were taking in the OBJ
jects of importance in gay Paris.
From what we can learn it would
seem with the exception of "Aunt Jc-
NINA Meyers. who is improving the

she herself said, the "Frenchiest'
clothing-that guides, counts, etc,
are the "objects of Importance they
are taking in
We fear Our towns girls are cult
waiting extravagant habits however
for when some little street singers
came and sang beautifully for them
they were delighted with the music
but could Just find u cents with
which to treat them. No doubt in
dulgent papas will be heard from la
ter.
In the mail from home there was
a package for the chaperone. Mrs.
Jackson, that was not so lightly ta-
ken as the rest. The package con-
tanned a pretty silver change purse
and came from the Woman's Club
as n token of the appreciation of the
members for the many favors rcceiv-
ed-especially in giving her home for
so long as a meeting place.
Miss Olwell had just received let
ter from Mrs. Margaret Anderson
Woodruff, which made the girls so
homesick thev were almost ready to
abandon the trip and sail for the Uni
ted States. They had not decided on
Saturday where they would. go from
Paris. but we hope to hear from
them by Saturday. March 20.

FAMOUS CHARITY
WORKER EXPIRES
MRS. E. A. RANSOM DIES FULL
OF YEARS AND HONOR
WAS NOTED ARMY NURSE DUR
ING THE CIVIL WAR
Phianthropist After Whom Home for
FriendIess Women Was Named
Never Recovered from Re-
cent Fall

Mrs. e. C. Ransom, 90 years old,
nurse in the Civil War, after whom the
Ransom home for friendless women in
Los Angeles was named, died early
Yesterday morning at the Angelus hos
pital. She had been i'll since March z,
when she accidentally fell and injured
her hip.
Mrs. Ransom, who was lovingly
known to hundreds of admirers and
friends as Mother" and "Aunty" Ran
som, had long been famous for her
charitable work, both in the east and
in Los Angeles.
She was one of the first recognized
regular women army nurses employed
in the Civil War, and during those
stormy times visited the army hospitals
and fields of battle, tending the wound
ed, sick and dying. For her valiant
services she was pensioned.
Mrs Ransom was greatly interested
in several homes for friendless women
in Richmond, Ind, and on coming to
Los Angeles, about twenty-six years
ago, continued her interest in local
works She started the First Methodist
mission among the Chinese of Los An
geles about twenty-five years ago. This
mission, however, was broken up
through the anti-Chinese riots, which
occurred soon after its establishment.
Since coming to Los Angeles Mrs.
Ransom had been prominent worker
in the First Methodist church, of which
she was a member at the time of her
death. During the early struggles of
the home for friendless girls and wo-
men in Los Angeles Mrs. Ransom gave
her experience interest and many OF
her worldly possessions to its support
She always maintained a deep inter-
est in it's welfare, and in that of the
girls and women who entered 1t. The
Home Missionary society was another
charity which in former years received
much of her attention.
For about three years Mrs. Ransom
had resided with Mrs. Mary MarcouX,
1929 Wall street. On the morning of
March Z, while endeavoring to leave
her bed, Mrs. Ransom slipped and fell,
injuring her hip. She was removed to
the Angelus hospital and was cared
for by DR.. Goechenauer, but two days
later went into a comatose state from
which she never rallied, passing away
yesterday morning. Until her last ILL
ness she retained her faculties and
seemed we'll and strong for a person of
her age.
The body is at the undertaking estab-
lishment of Bresee Bros. A grandson,
Walter Dennison of San Francisco, is
expected to arrive today and arrange
ments for the funeral then will be COM
pleted.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 16-Six-
teen shots were exchanged at an early
hour today between Police Sergeant
Murphy, officer Bailey and two cracks
men whom they had discovered at
tempting to blow open the safe in the
hay and grain warehouse of Chase Sc
Co. at the corner of Market and
Haight streets.
While passing the place officer
Bailey heard a shot fired and made
his way into the building just as two
men escaped from it through a hole
cut in the corrugated iron wall. He
gave chase and was joined by Ser
geant Murphy.
The robbers emptied their revolvers
at the pursuing officers, who Joined in
the fusillade, but did not succeed in
capturing the men. 1t was found that
the burglars had drilled hole through
the door of the safe and fired an eX-
plosive, but were frightened away be-
fore they had obtained any booty. Two
hours later officer Bailey saw three
other burglars coming out of a new
building, laden with window weights.
The policeman gave chase and after
desperate fight with one of the men,
succeeded in placing him under arrest
He gave the name of George Ander-
son.
