Los Angeles herald., 1910-05-10

A MONG the prominent guests who
u are being entertained in Los An
"a geles at the present time is Diego
Redo, governor of the state of Sinaloa,
Mex, accompanied by members Of his
official staff The party is at the Alex
andria, arriving in Los Angeles Sun
day after being present at the official
opening of the Tucson and West Coast
of Mexico railway at Tucson recently.
Being this near to the city Of the
Angels, "the gem of the great south
west" as Governor Redo expressed 1t,
the party came on to see for them
selves the city and country about when
they had heard so much.
Accompanying the governor are: Jose
Castollot, secretary of state and his
wife, Garcia Farjardo, of the commerce
department of Sinaloa, and Miss M. de
Castro, guest of the governor. They
will probably remain here for several
days taking all the little side trips to
neighboring towns and cities and visit
ing the principal points of interest.
The governor is very enthusiastic IN
regard to the new railroad, the open
ing of which brought him into the
United States. He believes, as many
Los Angeles men who have been
through the territory which it pierces
believe, that 1t will open up country
to the trade of the United States never
before dreamed of. This portion of the
country is without a doubt the richest
in the republic of Mexico and has not
been developing as 1t should SIMPLY
because of the lack of proper trans
portation facilities. Now these facili-
ties have been supplied it will mean
great things for both Mexico ana the
United States, especially the south
western portion of the latter.
The road will be completed into Mex
leo City within eighteen months. Gov
ernor Redo made this statement yes
terday and said that Judge Robert b
Lovett, head of the Hartman system,
had personally promised to see that II
was done.
Members of the office force of the
Angelus were going to see Maude
Adams at the Mason this Week--No-
tiee they WERE" going for they are
going no longer. Miss A. Hawkins,
bookkeeper at the Aneglus, was to be
the hostess at box party to see
"What EVERY Woman Knows" She
had invited all the other women at
taches of the house and nothing could
be heard about the lobby but "boX
party" Oh, they were enthusiastic, all
right-they were then-but just go
down there now and mention box party
if you dare.
Everything went lovely until the
morning arrived when seats were TO
be put on SALE Miss Hawkins had
new pink gown made Tor the occasion, son,
Miss Cunningham practised her best
smile on the side to have 1t all ready
and in fact everybody was all prlmed
for the great affair.
The morning the seats were put on
sale Miss Hawkins sailed forth to Sc
cure the box. When she arrived In
front of the Mason she found llne
extending halfway back to the hotel;
She gamely got into line and waited
-waited-waited. She waited until she
was forced to hike back to the hotel
in order to go on watch at 12:3O.
She went back and persuaded MISS
Cunningham to go to the theater ana
get the tickets. Miss Cunningham CON
sented and she also waited. She walt
ed some. She got up so far that she
was able to see people who were IN
position to see the front of the ilne'
but by the time she got there the CLOCK
had made headway enough TO SEND her
scurrying back to the hotel as soon as
she saw it.
The next mrning, or rather yester-
day morning, Miss Cunningham was on
the job early. 49,,
She was determined to get those
seats. So were about five hundred oth-
er persons, and they were all aheao OF
her. She waited until noon. Nothing
doing. Miss Hawkins tried it again
came result. Now the box party is
off Fact is there will be no box party.
They didn't want to see the old show
anyway. Just stood in line for exer-
else. Bah!
Miss Blanche Eugenia Cunningham
the heroine or rather one OF the neor-
ines of the foregoing adventure VIII pe
CONSPICUOUS by her absence at the desk @
of the Angelus hotel after June l. She
will retire. Not retire from the hotel
hut retire into the back office. MISS
Catherine Davis, bookkeeper at the
Toomis brothers house, is planning 10
Leave then for New York city on SIX
months vacation and Miss Cunning
ham will take her place as pook-
keeper. While Miss Cunninlham is
glad of the promotion, If only tenn
porary one which has 1alien 10 nels
She doesn't seem to think much OF
heing shut off by herself and IT is
nossible the partition between the front
and hack offices at the Angelus Will
have to be taken down in order TO ac-
commodate her.
There was something doing out
round sixteenth anu rlSuOlOte oIAN
,,eeterdav morning about o'clock and
belated travellers thought they were
seeing things.
The reason-well, Figueroa hotel
guests. numbering about forty. were
out seeing Halley's comet. Attired in
convenient costumes, such as kimonos,
bath robes, overcoats and bedroom
slippers the whole bunch paraded the
streets. They saw the comet all right
but to unexpected spectators the sight
seers themselves were of far greater
interest.
William G.. Allen, chief clerk of the
Glenwood inn at Riverside and the
Tahoe tavern at Lake Tahoe, is in Los
Angeles en- route for the latter hotel
where he is located in the summer.
He is a guest at the Angelus.
Mr.. Allen reports a great season at
the beautiful Glenwood and declares
the length of the tourist season this
year has been something marvellous.
