.INGLEWOOD ACREAGE
SOLD FOR $35O,OOO
WHAT A LOCAL FIRM ACHIEVED
IN ONE YEAR
IngIeWood Rancho Land Dotted by
200 New DweIIings-FertiIe Soil
and Great Abundance
of Water

The natural attractions of the south
western part of Los Angeles, combined
with excellent soil, abundance of wa
ter, splendid car service, good schools
and ready market for all crops, are
taking people to Inglewood rancho.
Quite portion of this property is al
ready planted to alfalfa, and with six
or seven cuttings a year, which this
soil yields, alfalfa nets Z to 8 per cent
yearly on the investment.
Since the property has been placed
on the market about a year ago 200
houses have been built, ranging in price
from $500 to $500 each, and are now
occupied by an excellent class of peo-
pie, who purchased for homes. These
people are we'll satisfied and express a
desire to add adjoining acres to their
present holdings.
An advantage of the property which
has not been before emphasized is the
beauty of the car ride to the rancho,
for the car line runs through one of the
best residence districts, and also
through one of the prettiest suburbs
between Los Angeles and the beach.
Sales Total $35o,ooo
Patton & Longley, who placed Ingle-
year ago, report that they have sold
$3.50, 900 worth of property, which means
that they have averaged over $11O0 a
day.
Everyone who is interested in the
growth of Los Angeles realizes the op-
portunity of the southwestern section,
and upon visiting Inglewood rancho
agrees that the soil will raise anything
grown in this climate and that the ad-
vance in value is inevitable, located as
it is only three miles southwest of the
city, on the Inglewood-R car
line.
Sales for the past week were:
L. w. Nestelle, one acre on Inglewood
avenue. 5000.
John II. Frizzell, eight acres on Ce-
dar street, $4,000.

BUILDING ACTIVE AT LoRDsBURe

LORDSBURG, Jan. 15.-An unpre-
cedented era of building is going on
in this place at the present time. In
the neighborhood of 100000 is being
expended in construction. Jack Ed
wards of Los Angeles, well known in
the building fraternity of that city, is
experimenting the greater portion of
the work. The board of trade is con-
structing a handsome new building,
and the First National bank, of which
Fl. L. Kuhns is president and w. d.
Fredericks cashier, is spending $4,000
for new quarters. On the two corners
opposite the First National bank
building two substantial structures are
being built The building boom is in
dicative of healthy growth and pre-
sages great future development in
Iordsburg, which has been rather
backward for several years.

Candidates Numerous

So many candidates have been
mentioned for the post of first COVER
nor general that every fresh name is
received with a certain amount of
caution. Indeed, the impression has
been reviving lately that Lord Sell
borne would, afterall, be allowed to
inaugurate the union which has been
created during his term of office. But
during the last few weeks the discus
sion in the English press of the claims
of Mr.. Herbert Gladstone has arrested
attention. 1t is felt that this rumor
has more substance behind it than the
others, and several newspapers in this
country are already discussing the ap-
pointment almost as if it were an ac-
complished fact. With the exception of
rather violent outburst by the
Natal Mercury, which '"of all pos
sible selections cannot conceive a
worse" and which says that the post
demands "the nerve and diplomatic
government can engage" comment is
guarded and not unfavorable The
Transvaal Leader suggests that Mr..
Gladstones experience of the "suf-
fragettes'' should qualify him to
handle the Asiatic passive resisters,
and believes that he would favor
cautious individualism in economic
policy and would not be guilty OIL
social ostentation. The Star says
that if the choice is to be limited to
the present cabinet South Africa might
go further and fare worse. 1t seems
to be agreed that the most unfor-
tunate feature of Mr.. Gladstone's ap-
pointment would not be connected with
his own personality but would lie in
his name, which, however, distin-
euished, is associated with the bitterest
controversy in South African history.
An important and successful expert
ment in proportional representation
has lust been concluded in the annual
town council elections at Johannes
burg and Pretoria. In Pretoria the
votes. which numbered under 1900,
were counted the same evening and re-
vealed a relatively heavy poll and a
general understanding of the business
of voting. In johannesburg. where up
ward of 10000 votes were cast, the
counting was long affair. The per-
centage of spoilt votes was heavier
than in Pretoria, but the bulk of
these were not attributable to the
mysteries of the new system. There
was no hitch whatever in either
nlace in the business of counting and
distributing the votes, 1t is signifi-
cant that in both instances the ex-
mayor headed the poll, which suggests
that the system tells in favor of men
whose public record is widely known.
Los Angeles herald., 1910-01-16
Old Racial Lines

But it looks very much as though the
first general election in South Africa
will be fought out upon the old racial
lines. The parties may be labeled any
way at all, but in reality they will be
British versus Dutch. And the unfor-
tunate part of this will be that General
Botha, who is really a man of progress
sive ideas, will be forced back upon
the more conservative and racial Dutch
organizations.
And if the struggle is upon these
lines, then the Beers will win. Re-
distribution will assist the towns,
which means the British. In straight
fight between British and Dutch, the
British would win. But, as usual, the
British will split. One section, an
swering to the Transvaal Nationalists
of today, will cooperate with the
Dutch. Another section will allow a
theoretical hatred of capitalists to
force them into the ranks of a labor
party. And already we hear of a Cen
tral party, and various independents,
and several seCessions from the Pro-
gressive side; and all these movements
will divide the British vote Even
Natal, which in the calculations of
few months ago was always balanced
against the Orange River Colony is un-
certain. General Botha, cleverest of
political tacticians, appears to have
already gained the sympathies of Mr..
Moor, the Natal premier, and though
Durham may stand firm the rural dis
tricts may throw in their lot with the
land downing Dutch party. South Afri-
can politics at the moment certainly
presents a puzzle.
Los Angeles herald., 1910-01-16

sible basis. But, unhappily, the coali-
tion idea has been received with much
opposition. Negotiations are still going
on and may go on for months. In any
case the premiership will cause trouble,
for though according to constitutional
precedents Mr.. Merriman has first
claim to the honor. the Cape premier
is not popular in the Transvaal. In
the end Mr.. Merriman may like Sir
William Lyme in Australia, have to be
content with a seat in a cabinet formed

Farm produce today is re1nunera-

agreeable. Those who are studying
the economics of the day tell us that
the strength of the nation lies in the
cultivation Of the soil. Farming is no
longer a hand-to-mouth existence. It
means independence, often ahuence,
but certainly independence.
Calling at a farm house, near one Of
the numerous thriving towns of Al
berta. in Western Canada, the writer
was given a definition of "indepen-
dence" that was accepted as quite
original. The broad acres of the farm

say the close Of the season, for while
it was in September and still real
summer weather, the parting Of the
ways had come. as the members were
to be widely separated for at least a
year. The long dining room table was
laid out like court" with very
delicate green moss surrounded by a
hedge of verbenas and delicate fern.
The sections of the court were marked
by narrow white satin ribbon, and
across the court was net made from
coarse dress material known as fish
net. The ends were fastened into
white stain stakes, which were wood

Novel Cotton Wedding.

lightful affair that am sure our read
ers in all parts of the country will be
able to adapt ideas from 1t to suit
their own needs and conditions. The
invitations said please come in cot
ton frock." This conveyed the idea
that 1t was to be an informal affair.
The spacious porches and grounds
were lighted with many lanterns, and
dotted over the lawn were great white
cotton umbrellas, such as are used for
shade on wagons. They were on long
stakes driven into the ground, and had
japanese lantern lighted and sus-
pended from each rib: rugs and chairs
were underneath.
These TRUSTING places were much
sought IN the intervals between
dances. There was q large platform
erected with negro players, Just like
the plantation dances before the war.
