twenty-five-acre ranch was decided to
b. H. Loveless declared invalid. Rein
erts complaint alleges that LoVeless
agreed TO purchase the property from
him for $4,000, $4,000 of which amount
was to be paid in cash, A note for
three years time and bearing per cent
interest was given for the balance, and
a mortgage for the unpaid $4,000 given

property for $500 in favor of George

falsely assuring Reinert that he had
recorded a mortgage in the latter's

promised, but that is all he has TO
show for his ranch Just where Gary
came into the deal is not shown by

transfers were completed in legal form.

SAN BERNARDIN0 TO BE
MADE MORE BEAUTIFUL
Chamber of Commerce Launches Con-
test to Improve Appearance
of City

SAN BERNARDINO, March 25.-The
chamber of commerce has formally
launched a unique contest for the pur-
pose of identifying and making more
attractive the homes in this city.
The civic improvement committee of
that body yesterday announced the
rules to govern this contest. Prizes are
not only to be offered for the best
lawns, gardens; flower beds, displays of
flowers and all that goes to make beau
tiful surroundings for a home, but also
for the removal of eyesores, such as
decrepit fences, old outbuildings, dead
trees and tin can and rubbish heaps.
The civic department of the Womens
club will also take part in the boosting
of the contest, which has aroused much
interest.
Already the chamber of commerce
has voted $50 toward prizes, and an eff
fort is on foot to raise this to 5000 or
$500, if possible.
A special feature will be made of the
growing of blue and lavender flowers,
in honor of the Elks expected to visit
Southern California this summer.

Besides the three-story block to be
erected by the Odd Fellows, which is
an assurity the chamber of commerce

which are to equal any in the city.
The chamber of commerce will make
an effort to erect a four-story build
ing with $50 feet frontage on Fourth
street on the corner of that street and
e, the total cost to be $125,000 If they
are unable to float a proposition of
this magnitude, they will make an eff

stood that the Knights of Pythias are
willing to put up their buildings on
the next fifty feet, both building to be
uniform.
1t is also understood that Los An

ton on 100 feet on the north side of
Third street, between F and G. run
