LOS ANGELES, Sept. 13. The
South California State League" was
made a permanent organization at
a mass meeting of the citizens of
Los Angeles today. George N.
Black was made president, Herbert
Burdett vice president, and B. A.
Stephens, secretary. The meeting
was called by the Los Angeles
Realty Board to offer a protest
against the recent action of the
state board of equalization in rails

body was found. He was within a
reasonably short distance of Stove
pipe Springs, where there is an
abundance of water. 1t is thought
by those acquainted with the local.
ity that the man died from poisoned
water. This Is very often the case
in all the Death Valley region
A telephone message Just received
as we are going to press states that
the body found was that Of Emery
bodge The body Of Tom Flause
was also found. Both were near the
mouth Of the canyon. No further

DESERT GIVES UP
Two MORE BODIES

Another case has been added to
the already long list of luckless
prospectors who have lost their lives
in search, for gold of the barren
desert of Nevada and California.
As is nearly always the case, it is
possible that the man will be buried
as an unknown.
Yesterday morning while in
search of party Of prospectors who
left here last month and who have
not been heard from, G. Shepard
came upon the body of man still
in 2 well preserved state. From
telephone communications it was as
certained that the body was found
about one-half mile from Black
Point at the mouth of Emigrant
canyon. The face of the man had
been badly torn by wolves or bob
cats and Identification was impos-
sible. The only articles found on
the body were gold watch and
chain and a note book containing
the name of Fred Anderson.
About three weeks ago Emery
Bodge and Tom Floss left here for
the Skidoo section Since that time
nothing has been heard of them
and 1t is feared by their friends that
thew have hpen lost and that the
body found is one of them. When
they failed to report at Skidoo and
did not return here Sam Jones sent
a party out to search for them It
was while making this search that
Shepard came upon the body. From
the meagre description given 1t IS
impossible to tell whether or not II
is one of the parties sought. A
wagon was sent from Skidoo to
bring in the body and it is thought
that very soon something definite
will be known as to the identity of
the dead man.
Both OF the men lost were well
known in Rhyolite, having lived here
for some time past. Dodge has a
wife and family living at Los An
geles. Word has been sent to them
and a return answer should be re-
ceived today.

TIFE, at the very best, is not summer picnic
IL it is struggle, a battle 1T IS problem
given to the individual for his individual solution
His living is his answer. Happiness is not handed
round to golden platter garnished with rose
buds. If we want it, we must make It, II we want
any of the really great things OF lite, we must hght
to win them fight to hold them. This is what gives
dignity to living, the tngle of conquest to effort,
the glow of conscious dominion over conditions and
environment This is what makes clear and keen
the moral eye toughens the moral sinews, puts red
corpusces into the soul of purpose and backbone
into character Life is not easy; but we can make
it easier We often make it harder-cruelly, unnec-
essariy bitterly harder-fOr ourselves and others.
We forget the equity.
Under the seeming injustice of life Nature is con-
stantly seeking equalizng, balance, justice. Nature
keeps books with the individual Her justice con-
sists neither in the debit the credit side of her
ledger but in the difference-the net, the balance,
the equity What to injustice is often
really only our concentration on one side OF the
account to the exclusion of the other. We exag-
gerate our that they eclipse our joys We
are unjust to what we have in hunger1ng tor what
we have not; make unsatished desires, not
our possessions the test OF happiness.
We may envy the fame, fortune, or prosperity OF
another unknowing the mortgages OF care, respon-
sibilitv opposition and worry that reduce the real
ness of what he has. His net happiness may be
really less than with but tenth OF his posses

Equity is the net value of a property over mort
cages and other claims against it 1t is the balance
that remains to our credit IN an account When the
debts subtraCted.
Sometimes with a sigh lips and sob
creeping into throat, we face our life in numb
rebellion. We wildly conscious of what we

For years some in public life may have strug

his life is held up a model inspiration to the
young, source of pride to all But that man may
do wicked thing, and the world is startled by the
discovery Society says, Now he is unmasked;
now we know his real character!' One evil act be-
typical of whole life, one evil act submerges
all the good of years.
Does society make good act the express
sion of character; does it ever let one good act
sweep like mighty tide wicked life and bury
it forever from sight and memory! That mans
character may not have been hidden. There may
have been sudden temptation one that came
when mind was weary, hope weak, and body worn,
every sentinel against sin, for the time, withdrawn

dazed he may have involved himself further, doing
what he could not what he should. The act was

Poets preachers, teachers delight to tell that
character is mighty structure, put together block

into dust and chaos by one evil deed 1t IS not so;
this is cruelty unjust, untrue. Character cannot be
killed in an instant; it is only reputation that can
be slain by one act Great single deeds do not make
character; large single evil acts cannot ruin it.
Character is built of trihes. The real test is the

offset and neutralize many of the acts of our human
weakness we, in poor human recognition OF
