EDISON ORANGE LAND
GREAT FOR C|TRUSFRU|TS

EDISON, Cal, Nov. 5.-Within the
last thirty days a number of lots of
land have been sold by the Edison Land
and Water company to Southern Cali
fornia orange planters and Bakersfield
oil men. The selection of lots on the
mesa and bluffs overlooking Bakers
field seems to be very popular with
oil men for suburban homes. Last
week the Jackson brothers of Bakers
field each purchased ten-acre plot Of
ground which has been fenced and
plowed. Each one of them will put in
a cement irrigating system and plant
the whole acreage to Washington nav
el orange trees this spring. They con-
template the erection of a beautiful
residence on each lot.
Lots 3, Is and IA, each containing
ten acres, were sold to residents of
Newmark, Los Angeles county, this
week, and it will all be planted to
Washington navel oranges this winter.

STEADY ADVANCE MADE
by BUILDING COMPANY
First Dividend to Be Paid Nov. 9.
Enterprise Is Expand
ing Rapidly

There is a newcomer among the
building and investment companies in
Los Angeles called the South Califor-
MIA Building and Investment COM
pany.
This company has been in existence
about a year and its first annual
meeting of stockholders will be held
on Wednesday, November 8. 1910. Con-
trary to the general usage this COM
pany did not at once take to adver-
tising and offer its stock to the gen.
eral public for investment.
The officers and directors, every one
of whom is practical man in either
real estate or some other line directly
connected with building the kind of
houses a building and investment COM
pany is naturally most interested in,
paid for the organization and promo
tion expenses from their own pockets
They merely let few friends join
them from the start who had thorough
confidence in them, based on personal
acquaintance during past years.
The building operations of the South
California Building and Investment
company have averaged about a house
a month since they first started. This
may not be a record breaking speed,
but it shows a good, steady, healthy
growth. That they have made money
on both their real estate and building
operations is proved by the fact that
their board of directors have just de-
clared dividend, payable on Novem-
ber 8.
This announcement of a dividend
was not coupled by raise in the price
of stock. The present price of 40 cents
share will remain in force until af-
ter the dividend has been paid.
OF course the company is looking for
partners and investors, especially
among the wage earners and men of
moderate means, and in spite of the
present low price of the stock it can
be secured for 10 per cent down and 5
per cent monthly if so desired
The management has shown more
good hard sense and economy, by loT
eating their offices in modest store
room at GAL South Main street, Los
Angeles. These offices are comfortable
and plenty large enough for the busi-
ness. Here may be found daily the
president, p. H. Ritchey, and the sec
retary and treasurer, e. w. Howeth.

Los Angeles people and tourists who
know agree that the most unique
charming and interesting of all the
delightful coast resorts, and one which
is within a short electric car ride from
the city, is that old Spanish shipping
port, Balboa bay and Newport.
Widely famed for scenic beauty,
boating, fishing, hunting, surf bathing,
romantic retreats above and below
Rocky Point, where bay and ocean
meet" Balboa and Newport lure and
hold those who have ever visited either
place at any time of the year, partlc-
ularly in the summer, because they
are $50 different" Indian canoes,
italian gondolas, fishing smacks, oar
and sail boats, electric and gasoline
launches, with numerous elegant
yachts, dot the bay in the height or
the season, and for those who care
little for the still and turbulent water
there are sandy beacnes, graceful
coves, rocky inlets washed smooth in
wondrous carving by old oceans lash
ings through the years agone, besides
winding trails and towering cliffs.

The Balboa Investment company
has brought Balboa to the front as a
summer and winter place of residence,
and many pretty bungalows have been
built, one of which the late Madame
Modjeska, the actress, occupied many
seasons.
Newport adjoins Balboa on the west,
and, like Balboa, is Il thriving city,
with a live newspaper TO record cur
rent events.
Capt Fred w. Beckwith. postmaster,
composer, vocalist and commander OF
the fleet in the bay, is also manager OF
Balboa pavilion, and delights in giving
all visitors the glad hand of welcome.
The same spirit of cordiality pervades
the entire community, especially
among the merchants.
Pacific Electric car service is ideal.
A day or a season spent at Balboa,
with it's charming climate and refresh
ing sea breeze, will long be pleasantly
remembered

If the house is infested with ants, dip sponge into sweetened water and lay 1t where they can get at it. They will soon cluster upon 1t, and the sponge can then be dropped in hot water.
 Cookies put into an earthen jar, lin- ed with a clean cloth, while they are still hot, and kept covered close will be much more melting and crumbly than if they are allowed to cool in the air.
 The label on a glass jar will keep clean and will stick much longer if pasted on the inside. Of course, this applies only where dry materials are stored in the jar, such as seeds, rice, tapioca, etc.
 A dry rubber Sponge" is excellent for cleaning woollen materials. They should be laid flat and the sponge swept over them briskly, care being taken to rub the wrong side of the nap.
 mixture of finely powered fullers earth and alum is excellent for clean ing white gloves. It should be rub bed in we'll, then brushed off and the gloves sprinklei with dry bran and whiting.
 If gas stove is not equipped with a broiler, try heating a pan piping hot. Put the steak into this without greas- ing and turn as soon as it is scared on the bottom. Keep turning till the meat is done

CRUSHED TO DEATH UNDER 200 TONS
 IN COAL CHUTE

New York, Jan. 31.-With safety iI sight after facing a horrible death fol more than six hours, Nicholas Neden- dock was finally crushed to death un- der many tons of coal in a chute of the Independence Ice Company at 82d street and the East River early today. His body has not yet been recovered. Two other men, Charles Moher, chief engineer. and Charles Cooper. who were directing the work of rescue, were also caught under the coal and are in the hospital in serious condi- ton.
 Nedendock was standing at the mouth of the chute which is used to get the coal into the boiler room of the massive plant watching the coal slide down. There were 200 tons in the pile above the chute which is about six feet square at the mouth but reduces in width when it gets to the bottom about 20 feet below. In some manner the snoring support of the big coal pile off his feet and down the chute with much of the small coal on top of him. He could be heard crying for help and firemen. policemen, aided by the em- ployes of the plant sought to get him out by digging at the vast pile of coal. For a time Nedendock was able to direct their course and just when it looked as though he would be reached, more of the supports at the top of the coal pile gave way and one hundred tons piled down on the mouth of the chute, covering Moher and Cooper who were on the edge of the mouth of the chute and burying Nedendock to a depth of many feet.
 Moher and Cooper were dug out and rushed to the hospital. and the search for Nedendock's body is still in pro- greSS.

NEW QUARTERS
 FOR BRIDGEPORT
 CHAPTER, K. (.
Entire Top Floor of New field Building Leased for a Term of Years.

After making the final arrangements yesterday afternoon for it's second an- nual ball at the StratfieId tomorrow evening, Bridgeport chapter, Knights of Columbus voted to lease from Sam uel H. Wheeler for a term of years, the entire top floor of the Newfeld build ing, corner of Main and Golden Hill streets, for new quarters for the mem- bers.
 The present quarters in the Bridge port Trust Company building annex on Main street, south of State street, have long been too small for the chapter, which embraces the entire membership of the five local councils of the order. The decision to abandon the present clubhouse and take the fifth floor of the Newfeld building was made upon the recommendation of a special conn mittee consisting of George T. Kelly, Henry B. Shannon, John J. Scanlon, John B. Lyddy and Arthur C. Bowen
 The new rooms will be fitted up at- tractively and will have all the facili- ties of a first class clubhouse. The chapter hopes to be able to formally open the new clubrooms early in March. Today the lease was signed and the chapter is now legally in pos session.
 For the ball tomorrow night carri- ages will approach the Stratfield from the Chapel street side, and leave via Golden Hill street. From the returns made yesterday by members to Secre- tary Daniel P. Harrigan of the gener- al committee the success of the event is assured. There is every reason to believe that it will be the most bril- liant social event of recent years in Catholic circles

CAR DIDN'T 60
 WOMAN WALKED
 SHE SUES co,

Because the trolley car refused to go further, and because she had to tramp two miles to her home through the darkness, Mary Elizabeth Charter of Danbury, has brought suit for $2,- 800. against the Danbury & Bethel Street Railway Co. Mrs. Charters stated that on Sept. 12, 1909, she boarded a car of the company at Lake Kenosia, intending to go to her home in Danbury. At Bacchus Corner, the tIolley pole went off the wire, the car went off the track, the wires fell down, the lights went out, and a cur- rent of electricity went through the car, giving her severe fright and q physical andmental shock. She was in a high state of nervousness at the time, and has been so ever since. The car was unable to go forward. It was after sunset and dark. She with 6 number of other passengers in the car were therefore obliged to walk, and she a distance of two miles to her home. The papers in the case were filed in the Superior court this morning.

HOUSEHOLD NOTES

Physicians claim that sleep is more refreshing in a darkened room. It is well to accustome children from in fancy to sleep in the dark.
 DampneSs will soon tarnish brass articles, but if they are kept in a dry and cool place, they will remain un- tarnished for a long time.
 Wet shoes should be stuffed with paper before they are put away. The paper will absorb the moisture and keep the shoes from becoming hard.
 A flannel dipped in spirits of tur- pentne will be found very useful in cleaning the porcelain tub or sink. Kerosene will answer almost as well.
 When packing, tie in bottle corks well and put the bottles in the middle of the trunk. If packed solidly in this way they will carry around the world.
 When coal is needed on the fire in the sickroom it should be brought in to the room in paperbags, which should be laid gently on the fire to prevent noise
 A teaspoonful of glycerine added to a gill of glue makes a cement that is a, great convenience in the kitchen, and is especially good for fastening leath- er paper or wood to metal
 Dampers should be placed in all pipes leading from heaters and kept closed in summer, as air from the fur mace should not be allowed to flow in- to the house when the fire is out.
 When pressing a skirt, 1t is always advisable to lay a damp cotton cloth over the material so that it is not touched by the iron. This prevents the material from becomir@ shiny.

PROVIDING WORK
 FOR THE IDLE
England Starts New Labor System of Giving Elm ployment to Thousands Out of a Job.
Special from United Press.)

London, Jan. 31.-England's new sys- tenn of labor exchanges by which it is hoped greatly to ameliorate the coun- try's problem of giving employment was put in operation today for the first time. So much is expected that the press generally refers to the move ment as an epoch in England's indus trial life.
 The exchanges will try to bring the job and the jobless together. Every exchange is provided with a record, prepared with unusual care. of the firms and industrial plants in England where employees are needed and also of the number and location of the un- employed in England with their pecu- liar fitness to certain kinds of employ ment.
 The scheme marks the first organi7- ed, scientific effort in England to solve the question of providing work for the thousands who are idle. The ex- changes are counted on to save the unemployed the expense of searching for work where it is already known that no work exists.
 The exchanges will pay the cost Of transportation to the fields of employ ment.
