Two of these sales are worthy of COM
Mr.. Williams-as they were made to
persons who live in Illinois and Rhode
Island, without the parties having seen
the land. This shows that eaSterners
have confidence in California property
and expect to come here to make their
permanent home as soon as possible.
The LOTUS company reports consid-
erable inquiry of this nature from east
erners who desire to come here as soon
as they can close their eastern business
interests, great many of them wish
ing TO secure property which will be
growing into value and will be ready
for them to occupy when they reach
destination.
The Lotus company also reports the
two following sales of city property:
Four-room house and lot on Thirty
third street to J. e. Stillwell Of Pomo-
ma for $780, and a five-room house and

NJ. B. Patton, sales manager of the
Inglewood rancho, reports that $l25.ooo
worth of property has been sold and
twenty houses have been Dullt tnere'
He saws that inquiries are numerous,
as local persons as well as home seek
ers realize the present and future value
of this property not only for homes and
farming purposes, but from an invest
ment standpoint.
Underwood rancho consists of 800 acres
of fertile land located one mile south
of Inglewood, on the Los Angeles q
Redondo electric car line, which runs
directly through the center of the
property.
Water development for irrigation and
domestic purposes is almost phenom-
email. The irrigation plant with it's two
twelve-inch wells and 100-horse power
engine furnishes 220 miners inches OF
water for irrigation purposes, and is
conveyed to each acre through the
fourteen-inch main west on Pine street.
Succumbing to the natural growth of
the city of Los Angeles, the Inglewood
rancho is being settled up by home
builders who are not satisfied with the
cramped position of city lots, and who
desire to have home in the country,
thereby enjoying all the comforts coun-
try life affords, while retaining the ad-
vantages of the city.
Poultry Colony Success
The poultry colony is no longer a
theory, but a success in every sense of
the word. AS striking illustration of
what has been accomplished in short
time, two subdivisions have already
been sold, and the third tract is now on
the market. Many nice homes have
been built and about 100 families are
living there, working for themselves
and enthusiastic over the result.

LAWS RESPONSIBLE FOR
UNSPEAKABLE CONDITIONS

Spokane, Wash, Nov 11-"State
laws making a trust possible among
physicians and surgeons are respons-
ible for the unspeakable conditions in
Washington, Oregon and California,
and until these statutes are wiped out
there will be no relief"
DR.. T. e. Callahan, prominent
physician in Spokane, formerly of
Baltimore, Md, who has been fight
ing the Medical Society Of Spokane
county the last six years, made the
foregoing charge in an authorized in
terview, adding:
THE members Of the Spokane Medi-
cal Society are working hand in glove
with the railroads and the insurance
companies, and a diagnosis in an ac-
cident case, where the physician is
called in by the patient, is drawn en-
tirely in the interests Of the companies
Then. too, all candidates for the leg
islature are pledged to the societies,
and for that reason it is difficult If
not altogether out of question to get
remedial legislation"
officers of the local society deny
the charges preferred by Dr. Callahan,
saying that he has made them solely
out Of revenge for the reason that
they will not admit him as a member.

D. cockreI. cashier Of the First Ma

press on the state bank guaranty law
following the Columbia Bank and
Trust company failure. Mr.. cockrell
is an officer in the El Reno bank in
which L. A. Wilson, head Of the State
Bankers association is president
Following is the communication
finn Mr.. Coclxrell to the manager Of
the republic press bureau at Guthrie,
written Nov 6:
1t would be amusing to see you
rushing around with your lung full OF
lamentation. yelling fraud, theft, and
al, the other mean things you can
think of to say about the Columbia
Bank and Trust company failure,
were it not for the fact that very
large percent Of the people who read
your articles In every republican paper
in the state, do not know their origin,
and conclude that the whole financial
fabric Of the state is going TO the
demnition bowows.
Indeed it would seem to the casual
observer to be bad republican politics
for you to be perspiring blood over
the alleged failure Of the bank de-
post guaranty law to accomplish what
it was intended to accomplish, while
our Bank Commissioner. Mr.. A. NJ
Young, in whom all the bankers OF
the state have the utmost confidence,
is winding up the affairs Of the de-
funct institution in an economical
manner, refuting practically all the
accusations you have made against
him.
Confidently, you are very poor
political prophet, If you imagine the
people Of this great state are not in
favor OF deposit guaranty law. In
fact henceforth the name bank, must
be synonymous with security and the.
