HOLLYWOOD IS
DESIRABLE CITY
SUBURB WILL ADD TO FAME
OF LOS ANGELES
HEAVY VOTE IN FAVOR OF AN
NExATIoN EXPECTED
In Meantime FoothiII Town is Max
ina Extensive Improvements
and Erecting School
Buildings

Although Hollywood expects to be a
part of Greater Los Angeles after the
annexation election January "a, the
hustling suburban city is going ahead
with municipal improvements at a
rate that will make her the most de-
sirable addition that has ever sought
union with the metropolis of South
California.
Some of the attractions and improve
ments that Hollywood will bring into
the greater city are:
An extremely desirable population OF
more than 5000.
An assessed valuation Of more than
$6,OOO,0OO
Two new schools to be built at a cost
of $130,000 in addition to what Is al
ready one of the finest public school
systems in the south.
Further street Improvements added
to those already completed at cost OF
more than $1,000,000.
In the opinion of business men and
realty experts of Los Angeles, the an
nexation of Hollywood will bring a
more desirable citizenship and a pro-
portionately greater property valuation
than that of any suburb now included
within the city boundaries.
With the desire of Los Angeles to
annex Hollywood and the eagerness OF
Hollywood to become a part of the
greater city, it is apparent that unless
unforeseen and unexpected opposition
arises the vote on January "a will be
overwhelmingly in favor of the union
Leaders in the annexation movement
however, fear that too much certainty
may result in too many voters failing
to go to the polls on election day, and
they are urging on the people of Los
Angeles the necessity of carrying the
election and Of getting out vote that
will indicate the desire of Los Angeles
to welcome the beautiful little city OF
the foothills.

OUNCE OF STEEL, GOLD
AND GLASS KEEPS TIME
Tiny Watch Weighed on Postal
Weight at Local Hotel Meant
Months of Work for Maker

An ounce of steel, gold and glass, af-
ter being hammered into shape can
be made to be worth $400. This was
the contention of Oscar Fresard, a
Swiss watch manufacturer of Lu-
cerne, Switzerland, who is staying at
the Hotel Alexandria. He proved his
contention when doubt was expressed
by laying the watch on a postage
scale. 1t weighed only one ounce. The
watch had a face the size of an ordi-
nary business watch, but in thickness,
including case, crystal, works and the
air spaces It was less than the size of
a silver dollar.
"That watch is worth $4O0,' said Mr..
Fresard at is not for sale. l am
not here to sell watches. sell my
watches to American tourists. Here
7 ann a tourist myself" only twenty
fo1n of these fiat watches can be made
in a year.
The works of the watches are so
fine and are gauged so perfectly that
tbev are guaranteed not to vary more
than fifteen seconds in a month.

TREASURE SEARCH
ENDS IN LAWSUIT
DOUGLAS WHITE IS SUED BY
MEMBER OF CREW
QUIETLY SAILS AWAY, BUT HAS
HAMMER ON RETURN
Declares That Because Legends Were
Not Clear Enough the Crew
Was Dicharged and He
Wasn't Paid

Hunting for hidden treasure on an
island in the South Pacific did not
prove so very profitable for Albert
Wiberg. according to complaint
lodged in the United states admiralty
court yesterday. Mr.. Wiberg wants
S425 for wages and other services, and
has begun an action against the yacht
Ramona. owned by Douglas White.
The services, he claims, were rendered
between March 6 and December l of
this year.
Quietly and secretly the Ramona
sailed out on the ocean blue from San
Pedro harbor March G. with Frank
Green as master and with Wiberg as
chief member of the crew. They put
i'm at Point Panama. near the western
end of the big ditch. Then they sailed
to the west, finally reaching Cocos
island. where is buried some Of the
treasure of bygone pirate kings, ac-
cording to legend
But the legends were not clear
enough. So all the treasure hunters
got for their trouble was a long sea
VOYAGE. Eventually they reached san
Diego harbor. The crew was dis
charged and the yacht turned back TO
her owner. Dug" White.
In Wiberg's court declarations he
says that Green had agreed TO pay him
So q month. Inc total sum- ne say =
was $3.50. OF this sum only $40 was
handed over 10 Wiberg, leaving a pal
ance due of S425. He says he wants his
money. treasure or no treasure. His
proctors are w. II. Savage Of san
Pedro and b. H. Marble of Los Angeles.
The yacht Ramona, owned by Doug
las White. was chartered for a trip TO
Cocos island, off Central America, a
bond being given for the safe return
of the yacht. The moving spirit IN the
enterprise was Major Desbrough VINO
claimed to have secured a clew which
would lead to the recovery of hidden
treasure on Cocos island. The major
interested DR.. Dennis OHagan OF Pas
adena in his enterprise and all the sup
plies purchased here were bought in
the name of and paid by O'Hagan.
Capt. \. II. Green, formerly in COM
mand of the power steamer city of
Long Beach, was given command, and
Alfred Wiberg of san Pedro signed
as mate. Wiberg was TO be paid SIS a
month, but although he was gone eight
months and tWenty-nine days he is
said to have received only $235.
According to all the stories told by
Green and Wiberg Major Desbrough
knew little of what he was doing. The
yacht put in at Panama and waited
several weeks while Desbrough went
to New Orleans According to Captain
Green the whole trip cost about $4,000.
Major Desbrough did not return with
the party and O,Hasan was left to
hold the sack.

The great change in the Tintlc camp

yancement made by the eastern end of
the district would have been less to be

held the distinction of being the camp

IRON BLOSSOM Is
SHIPPING RICH ORE

One who stands close enough 10 the
Knight organizations TO know TO a good
degree OF accuracy Just what is transpir-
ing In the inner circles. stated TO The
Tribune yesterday that the develop
ments In the Iron Blossom territory are
assuming splendid proportions. He
states that the ore shipments for the
past week have contained the following
values: From 81 TO SS gold, 12S ounces
silver and 50 per cent lead These ship
ments have been taken largely If not
completely from the north and east drifts
the places where some knowing ones
have asserted there is no valuable ore
at all, The Tribunc's same informant
states that the extreme south drift Is
widening and deepening as the work
proceeds in the southeuy direction, the
vaiuc of the ore being practically the
same.
There can be no question bat what the
physical condition or this mine is excel
lent, far too many different sources of
information have agreed on that point
for question TO remain now. 1t is APP
parent. however. that the company be
gan month too soon with Its dividend
distributions, OF perhaps the amount per
share at first was too high. This defect
has been remedicd. although the remedy
or the passing Of the May dividend. was
very severe one as far as the stock is
concerned. Confidence in the mine is be-
ing restored by developments from day
to day.
