THE AMERICAN
WOMAN'S LEAGUE

Women are beginning to recognize
business methods in money transac-
tions and members of the Los Ange-
les chapter of the American woman
league evidence this in the orderly
manner in which all papers relating TO
their affairs are filed. With one or
two exceptions, the eighteen hundred
members of the chapter have league
pauers, personal and circular letters
literature, stocks, debentures, endoM
ments, certificates, registry and postai
receints arranged in envelopes, accord
inc to value. The members keep their
hooks carefully, and are ready at a
moments notice to give a complete
record of all business transactions re-
lating to the American Womans
league. From its inception the Los An
geles office has exercised the strlctesI
up-to-d date bookkeeping methods. anu
anv statement issued by this ott1ce Is
honored at University City; but IN
snite of all the caution exercised by
members, and at the Los Angeles OF
flee and at headquarters, there are
complaints that must be stralghteneu
out this month. New Years day, 1911,
must find all complaints satlsfled ana
errors rectified.
House cleaning is going on at Uni
versity city and in the Los Angeles
office with ii thoroughness OF the Old
fashioned housekeepers. Members are
requested to send Immediately any
con, la ts to tie Los Angeles office
1892 West Forty-ninth street, and they
will be sent to headquarters for ad-
iustment. Members are especla ly
urged not to send in complaints In
which they are at fault, but any leg
innate complaint VIII receive tmm di-
ate attention. The heads of the var
ions depart .nents together with tne
clerks are making the most strenuous
wit
absolute Justice. The whole force is
working to bring to an immediate ad-
iustment every subscription and com
INT in the house. All subscription
orders to date will be in the hands OF
publishers, and filled immediately All
final life certificates, stock certlt1cates
and other credits together with com
mission checks will be mailed to the
members throughout the United States.
There is every Obdbility that every
dollar of debt of the Lewis and Ameri-
can Woman's league institutions viii
be paid off next year. The Fl arc al
statement issued by f. G. Lewis shows
that the assets are s1,304,21' AZ ltabii-
ties, $476, ,009.42. A maTnifcent showing

In sending out complaints members
should be certain of the justice of the
complaint. Every postage stamp, every
letter costs cash money. and that
money comes out Of the commissions
received through members. 1t is inn
portant that members remember that
all needless correspondence spends
money belonging to someone else and
is taken from the university, the chap

The home of A. E. Sheldon and fam

with all contents, Wednesday night
and the family had narrow escape
from being burned also, having awak-
ened after the fire had made great
progress.
The cause of the fire is unknown,
and all that can be definitely said 10
that it originated In the kitchen,
whether from defective fue or 9th
erwise is unknown, and cannot be as
certained.
The family were awakened about
10: 80 o'clock by the heat, the smoke
and the noise of the flames, and ut
that time the kitchen, the dining room
and back hall were enveloped 10 the
flames, and it was necessary for the
members OF the family to make their
escape in great haste, without attempt
ing to save the contents, which were
practically all destroyed. Nothing
could be 1one towards saving the
building or contents, and II is believ.
ed that had the family slept ten min
utes longer their lives might have
been lost. No fire had been in the
kitchen since supper, and the fire was
allowed to burn out, and it was sup
posed had burned out before the fam
lily retired, so the origin Of the ire
can be a subject only for conjecture.
The house was one story frame
with about six rooms.
1t is understood that Mr.. Sheldon
has insurance on the property, but
many household effects we're destroy
ed, which of course, cannot be re-
placed by money.
The family consisted of Mr.. Shell
don and his wife and son.

DECISION SUSTAINS OLD
POINT IN MINING LAW

A decision in regard to the patent
ing of mineral claims has been made
by the general land office. In future
no patents will be issued to appH-
cants unless oil or mineral has been
discovered on the applicants claims
before notices of location were filed.
This decision is along the line of the
prevailing law, and in fact Is not vo1c-
ing anything new.
The case in which the decision has
been made involves oil lands in Kern
county, located January l. 1909 The
final entry was made October 16, 1903,
and accepted by the land office here
Patent to the oil lands is refused on
the ground that oil in paying guam
titles was not discovered for some
time after the date of locating. The
applicants are to ibe given an oppor-
tunity to submit evidence in their be-
half if they care to do so.
In communicating it's decision to the
land officials here, the general land
office calls attention to section 232O,
United States revised statutes, which
provides that mo location of mining
claim shall be made until the doscov-
cry of the vein or lode within the limits
of the claim located
Although this statute is an old one,
its existence practically has been ig-
nored for some time. 1t has been the
custom of land offices throughout the
country to accept final entries on min
eral claims whether oil or mineral had
been discovered prior to date Of To-
cation or not
