WHEN A MAN GOES OUT

He doesn't understand why there are
never any towels on the towel rack
and where in the nation they keep
their towels. They seem always to
be hiding away the things appertain-
ing to the comfort of the house, and q
man never can, find them.
Who in creation has been using his
razor and what for? 1t is pity that
a mans own private utensils are to be
made free with by everybody in the
house who happens to be in need OF
the services of chiropodist.
Where are his socks? It beats all
that mans wife can't ever put things
where a man can find them. He
searches in every conceivable out Of
the way place while his socks quietly
emit chuckle from their accustomed
place directly under his hand.
Why under the sun will his wife let
little Bess get into his drawers and use
his neckties for doll sashes? And
where are his cuff links? Things have
come to such a pass nowadays that q
man needs to get Lloyd's to insure
him against absolute restitution in the
matter Of having any clothes, so out
rageous have become the depredations
Of the members OF his own family.

ARLINGTON HEIGHTS TRACT
BOUGHT FOR SUBDIVISION
Local Agency Buys Last Choice Acre.
age in Section Not Controlled
by Syndicate

The Selover & Whipple agency, with
the firm of Strong & Dickinson, have
just closed a deal for the purchase
from the Mullen Estate company of a
50-acre tract of land on Arlington
Heights, between West Sixteenth ana
West Washington streets.
This property is the last of the choice
acreage in the Arlington Heights Sec
ton not already controlled by a sub
purchased in the early sos by the
late Andrew Mullen, one of the founders
of the Mullen Bluett company. 1t is
only recently that the Mullen estate
decided to dispose of it.
The topography of the land is high,
slightly, almost level and ideal in every
way for home site subdivision and the
soil of the entire tract is fertile, being
of that quality so highly priced by
gardeners.
The new syndicate owners propose to
subdivide, install modern improvements
and place the tract on the market ut
once The original plan was to finish
the tract improvements before Offering
any lots in the subdivision, but it is
claimed that prospective lot buyers are
already making requests for lot reser-
Vations. The active demand for de-
sirable residence lots in the Arlington
Heights district may induce the selling
agents to offer for sale lots while the
street improvement work is under
course of construction.
The Los Angeles Railway company
is now extending its West Washington
street car line past this property 10
Rimpau avenue. The county is also
building a 100-foot boulevard along the
south line of the tract under the new
public highway bond issue.

Land on the west coast Of Mexico, Sonora

The Ketchikan miner., 1909-05-22

Juneau is on the point of losing one of its best paying industries, the fish business. Petitions have been circu- lated in the city among halibut fisher men to agree on station most suita- hle to the fishermen who are about to sign with the New England Fish Co.,, of Ketcikan, and from recent reports. the new station will be at Hoonah. Each halibut boat running out of this city brings from s4, 900 to sl0, COO to Juneau each year and the loss of the income from the entire fleet will be keenly felt by business men next win ter. The fishermen claim that they would much prefer selling their fish here. but cannot secure cash for their cargoes owing to the absence of fish buyers. The fish are sent to Seattle and Tacoma at the owners risk and the shipments are usually handled to suit the purchasers. Ii they see fit to classify the shipment as second class fish. the 3sermen must accept the terms. If the fish are reported parti- ally spoiled, which is often the case, then the brokers pay whatever they like and the fisherman is the loser. The only way to retain this industry Is to have the businessmen combine and urge company either on the Sound or in Oregon to send a buyer to this city wfo will pay the fishermen the prevailing price on the wharf here. The business is well worth holding and concerted action should be taken at once to provide means whereby the most important winter industry may be kept here. Juneau Dispatch.
