BOOST ASSOCIATION
WITH 100000 CAPITAL
Men of Wealth and Capacity in
Line to Develop Greater
Los Angeles

A few months ago wealthy property
owners in the old business district re-
allied the imperative need of united
and vigorous efforts to revive that sec
ton of the city and re-establish It's
former prestige. The North, Northeast
and Northwest Improvement associa-
ton was organized for that purpose on
July ], with Joseph Mesmer as presi-
dent and J. Mills Davies, secretary
The benefits thefefrom have been sc
great although its capital is only 81 a
month from each member, that an en-
tirely separate but auxiliary organiza-
tion, the North Los Angeles Develop
ment company, with a capital stock OF
$500,000, was incorporated last week for
the purpose of furnishing money to in
crease and strengthen the efficient work
of the improvement association.
The North Los Angeles Development
company has elected the following
board of directors, many of whom are
among the wealthiest property owners
in Los Angeles: II. c. Thompson, Jo-
seph Mesmer, f. w. Braun, John Lopi-
zich, Victor Ponet, c. S. James, John
S. Schumacher, j. Mills Davies and
Ulrieh Knoch. The following officers
were elected last Wednesday: Presi-
dent and general manager, II. c.
Thompson; vice president, Joseph Mes
,
treasurer, John Castera.
The International Savings and Ex-
change bank will be the depositary.
]. Mills Davies the well known veteran
newspaper man, will have charge of the
printing and advertising. Suitable Of
fees in the north end of the city will
be selected and occupied in few days.
1t was recentlp remarked by Vice
President Mesmer: I'VE expect to make
our organization one of the strongest
boosting clubs in Los Angeles. This
=. will be one of the features of the cor
poration. However, our chief work will
be the upbuilding of north end terri
tory. We buy property, erect buildings
of all, descriptions, build bridges and do
everything possible to enhance the
value OF real estate in the north end of
the city"
The field of operations is so extensive
and the possibilities of profitable in
yestment so great that it is confidently
hoped to increase the capital stock 10
$5.OOO,000 within the next year.
Besides the old business center, the
beautiful northwest hill districts, ex-
tending to the Hollywood foothills, also
Sunset boulevard as the logical contin>
uation of North Main street, VIII re-
ceive special attention.
Many of the stockholders in the COM
pany are large property owners in 9TH
er parts of the city also, but they re-
alive the necessity of redeeming the
long neglected north end" from its
lethargic condition; also the expedien-
CIV of grouping together all city, county
and federal buildings as necessary
convenience to residents OF Greater Los
Angeles, soon to extend from the noun
tains to the sea.

FIGHTING NATURE

IN the southwest of France, between the
rivers Adour and Garonne, are long
stretches of pine woods, green and cool.
Where these pines now stand was a barren
waste in the middle of the last century. Sun
and wind We'd with each other in making the
land drier and dustier. Over the stormy
Bay of Biscay came winds that set up great
sandstorms and sometimes buried whole vii
lagos. The whole region was one of hope
lessness and despair. Fate was against it.
But finally there came man who acknowl-
edged Fate only as something to be over
come. This man, one Bremontier, was an
inspector of roads. He Began fencing in the
desert. He built fence, and behind it
planted broom seeds. Behind the broom
seeds he put seeds of the pine. The fence
protected the broom seeds, and the broom
grew. Then the broom in its turn afforded
shelter to the delicate pine shoots.
Soon the pines spread, and their tough
roots bound the sandy soil together. The
first step was accomplished. Then canals
were made to drain the wet parts and carry
water to the dry.
Thus did one man by patient effort turn
dreary desert into home for an industrious
and healthy population. 1t was an instance
of triumph over Fate.
