Indian Superstjtion

Dying to order is one of the most
sacred customs of the American In.
dian. Thirty years ago Standing Elk
came to Maj. James Mclaughlin. the
author Of my Friend. the Indian.
and said: Father. my wife will die TO-
day, and she wants coffin from Won. .
The major asked him what the all.
ment was, and he replied: Just moth.
Ing, but she heard the ghosts calling
and must 60" Somebody had told
her' IT turned out, that she was sick,
so she had painted for death" and
all her relatives had gathered about
her to bemoan her--and incidentally
to divide her property as soon as she
was dead. There was no use in the
major arguing about It, SO he had tho
coffin made. In many cases those
painted for death" are actually bu,.
He'd into dying. but Mrs Standing elk
was still too vigorous Finally in
despair she carried the coffin into the

CORN NOT COTTON IS KING

The thirteenth annual report
compiled under the direction of
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson,
announces that the year 1909
established new record in the
agricultural prosperity of the
country. The individual crops,
says the report, were large, while
prices almost uniformly have been
high. AS result it is declared
that the value of farm products for
the year is so "incomprehensibly
large" that it has become merely
row Of figures
The total value for the year was
SO, 706, 100000 a gain over the year
previous of $500, 100000. The
gain for the year marks, in Mr..
Wilson's opinion, a steady agri-
cultural growth throughout the
country. He points out that ten
years ago the total value of the
crops was only five and a half
times the increase accounted for
in a single year by this report.
Immense advantage has come to
the farmer through the period of
prosperity, says MIR. Wilson.
Mortgages have been paid off, heavy
borrowings are almost unknown,
and the farmer, as general thing,
now standing on his own feet
facing the future with confidence.
Cotton is no longer the king of
farm products in the United
States, first place being yielded to
corn by a margin of almost $780,
100000. The value of the corn
crops is fixed at 100000, while
cotton, in the second place reaches
only the $3.50, 900, 900 mark.
Wheat comes third, with a value
Of about 725,OO0, 1000 at the
farm. This drops hay definitely
below wheat in value by a margin
of about $60,000,0OO. The fifth
crop in order is oats with a farm
value of about 100000, 900 a
new record for oats.

OWNERS
BAR RACE TRACK
Agricultural Park Improvement
Again Confronted by Tan
gle of Objections
Agricultural park is in q tangle again

Agricultural park is in tangle again
and w. NJ. Bowen, secretary of the
Sixth District Agricultural association,
told the park commission yesterday
that he was about ready to quit the
whole business and stop all improve
ments on the park.
Bowen's disgust was occasioned by
a protest registered before the park
commission yesterday morning by rep
resentatives of the West Vernon and
South Hoover Improvement associa-
tions. The protestants object to the
plan to put the race track on the
ground which has been condemned
to add to the park and which they
must pay for.
They say that they were promised
the land that is to be added to the
park would be used for park purposes
only and that the race track is not a
park purpose, and faith has been
broken. They declared it was only
through them that the land could be
condemned because, if they had pro-
tested, proceedings would have stopped.
If nothing else could be done, they
suggested that the barns for the
horses be put underground.
Mr.. Bowen said it was impossible to
put the barns underground because
there is no deep sewer to drain them.
The race track has to be built, for
this is according to an agreement
with the harness horse owners who
have used Agricultural park for mat
inee races for a number of years. The
horse owners withdrew a suit they
had in court against the association
and also contributed money for the
benefit of the park. but only on condi-
ton that a race track was established
The park commission hopes some So
luton of the tangle may be found, and
yesterday employed w. D. Cook, jr., a
landscape engineer, to lay out plans
for the park that will put the race
track in some other location than the
one that has been chosen for it. This
will be a most difficult matter, but
the park commission has its hopes so
high that it is willing to pay Mr.. Cook
$500 to try. ..4

LOOK FOR LYNCH
TO KEEP OFFICE
President of National League Is
Assured Support of Many
Leading Club Owners

NEW YORK, Dec. 12,-The consen-
sus of opinion of baseball men in this
city is that should the National league
owners at their meeting here tomorrow
reach the election of officers, Thomas
j. Lynch, who has had the office of
president for a year. will be reelected.
While he may not get the vote of
all eight clubs, his supporters say he
is sure to have the backing of John
T. Brush, Garry Hermann, John F..
Harris and Barney Dreyfus and per-
haps the vote of Horace S. Fogel. Fogel,
however wants to find out first wheth-
er the umpires are to be allowed the
absolute powers they had last season.
Charles Ebbets, who hoped to get John
Montgomery Ward elected president
last winter, and c. W. Murphy of Chi
cago, who aided Ebbets in this plan,
may have some candidate in reserve
whom they will run against Lynch, but
Lynchs adherents profess no fear of
the outcome.
At tomorrow's meeting all club own
ers except Brush will be present. He
is in San Antonio, Texas, and will wire
who shall represent him at the meet
ing.
With the National league meeting to-
morrow and the American league meet
ing wednesday, New York is full of
baseball talent. President Johnson of
the American is already here. John
1. Taylor of Boston, an early arrival,
said he was willing to consider offers
for any of his players except Speaker
and Wagner.

Gutta Percha ChaSers Plan Busy Time on Local Links

which they say is not football at ALL
The game they played at Praeger park
Sunday was but an appetizer to the
contest they expect to put up Christ
mas.
The u. s. c. preps are anxious to
get in the game and believe they can
hold their own with any college team
here under the old style taught them
by Coach RAIDER.
1t is probable that they will be given
chance to tackle Whittier college
instead OF u. s. c. varsity In order to
make It an intersectional contest rath-
er than between two teams of the same
school. Coach Cromwell, while keen
for such chance to show off the new
American game, is not anxious to put
his varsity pets into suits again after
once breaking training, and he be-
lieves that the preps would uphold the
honor of the school against the
Quakers.
Whittier has a good team this sea-
son and defeated a team of all-stars
on Thanksgiving day. The Quakers
are always In training and are anxious
to make a name for themselves in ath-
letics. In big" Reneker they have
the best fullback in the south.
The Rangers and Thistles, the two
soccer teams, are in the best of con-
dition and are looking forward to the
first time that they will have had the
opportunity to play before a large
crowd, for the reason that the public
not knowing much about soccer has
never turned out in large numbers to
see them play. as they have to see
Rugby and intercollegiate games.
In the old country, however, a good
soccer game never fails to draw at
least 10000 persons, and on special oc-
casions in Liverpool the attendance Is
known to have been in excess of
200. 900.

MEETING TO TALK
MERGER ARRANGED
First Conference of ConsoIida-

The first conference of the consoli-

tricts will be held wednesday after
noon at 2:30 in the mayors office when
the consolidationists will meet the eX-
ecutive committee of the committee OF
twenty-one from the eastern part of
the county.
The committee of twenty-one is COM
posed of the following: E. r. Jeffry,
Azusa; J. R. Randall. Artesia; D. j.
Schultis, Baldwin Park; J. o. Houser,
Covina; A. w. Richards, Claremont;

members:

about becoming part of the city gov
ernment of Los Angeles, but they do
want water from the Owens river and
if it is necessary to become part of
the city to get the water, will not
raise very vigorous objections.
Some of the members of the con-
solidation commission have been at a
loss to- know if they are to consider
consolidation solely, or annexation as
well, and the distribution of water and
power. This was made clear yester-
day when Mayor Alexander sent a
letter to the commission showing plain
ly what he considered he had appoint
ed them for. The mayors letter fol-
lows:
During the public discussions as to
how the city should dispose of it's sur
plus Owens river water and power, it
was suggested that many of the diff
culties of the problem, legal and 9TH
erwise, might be eliminated by taking
into the city, either by consolidation
or annexation, all territories to be
served by that water. 1t was with
that idea that l asked the council to
authorize the appointment of your
commission. l consider that the pri-
mary purpose of your appointment is
to determine the proper method of dis
posing of the citys surplus water and
power, and that the secondary object
is the consideration of that other very
important subject of consolidation"
When the mayors idea was known
the commission yesterday morning de-
cided that the first duty would be to
fix the boundaries of the proposed
new city with regard to the distribu-
tion of the water and power. The
commission decided that these boun-
daries will not be fixed so that any
community shall consider it is entitled
to water because of advantageous To-
cation, but with view to the most
desirable distribution.
