EASTERN MEN BUY 96
ACRES FOR $4,000.
Large Tract on Monrovia Line of
Pacific Electric Will Be
Improved

Negotiations were concluded yester-
day for the sale of 96 acres of land at
Ell Nogal station on the Monrovia line
of the Pacific Electric railway. The
consideration stated is 100000. The
acreage was purchased by an eastern
syndicate from William ]. Hunsaker
and Edwin G.. Hart, who bought the
land some years ago from the Chap
man.
The F'orbes-Lewis company will form
holding corporation which will be
known as the California Michigan
La~" and Water company, and this
organization will subdivide and i'm
prove the acreage. 1t is planned to
expend approximately $4,000 in the
development work. Included in the
acreage is a matured orange grove OF
thirty acres, besides walnut, oak and
sycal ore trees. Part of the land COM
mands a splendid view of the San
Gebriel valley. The frontage on Hunt
ington drive is one-third of mile, and
Il ogal station is on the property.
A fine park and winding drives are
suggested. The property will be han
died by the Forbes-Lewis company,
Edwin G. Hart & Co., and Herbert
Burdett.
Last March Mr.. Burdett secured an
option on the land and 1t was through
his personal efforts that capitalists of
Grand Rapids, Mich, became interest
ed in the proposition.

DIRECTOR URGES BOYS
TO VIEW BEST IN LIFE

The boy students, numbering 250, of
the summer vacation school of the Y.
M. c. A. enjoyed an address given by
L. B. Austin, general educational di-
rector, yesterday morning. "Seeing
Things Rightly" was the topic of Mr..
Austin.
"Just as some men are shortsighted,
others cannot see far enough ahead to
arrange their life plans" said Mr..
Austin. "Boys must have an ideal to
be striven after, the attainment of
which is in the future.
"Other men are far sighted. 1t is
not enough to have an ideal, but you
must do the things at hand today to
achieve the ideal tomorrow.
"Some boys have astigmatism and
do not get clear images. Moral astig-
matism is the worst kind. Be sure you
see right and wrong clearly.
"If mud is thrown in your eyes you
are blinded. Any impurity that i'm
pairs your moral vision prevents your
seeing the best things in life, and you
will be unable to appreciate the finer
virtues"
The next address to be given in the
series will be by r. A. K. Hackett,
editor of the Fort Wayne Sentinel.

URGES USE Of NATIVE
MATERIAL IN BUILDING
Representative of State Mining
Bureau Will Visit in South
ern California

A communication from Lewis ID.
Aubury, state mineralogist of Call
fornia, announces that w. w. Thayer'
representing the California state min
ing bureau, will visit Southern Cali
fornia at once for the purpose of pro-
noting the interests of the producers
of structural and industrial materials
in this part of the state. For some
years Mr.. Aubury has striven to have
California materials used in the con-
struction of public buildings in prefer
ence to all others. Swords have been
crossed with the supervising architect
of the treasury department on several
occasions on this issue, but the state
mineralogist has persisted for fair
treatment of home industries and has
worked hard to rally California pro-
ducers in their own behalf The COM
ing visit of Mr.. Thayer is in this con-
nection.
Mr.. Aubury has taken pains to have
statistics carefully prepared relating to
the production of California structural
and Industrial materials in the last few
years 1t has been shown that IN
tWenty-three years the aggregate value
of the material of the sort described or
California origin is more than $lll,OOO, =
900 On the aggregate Southern CALI
fornia figures greatly. The state IS
ficiaIs of all classes, property owners
and all others who are concerned IN
local prosperity properly informed
about Southern California's mineral
resources. In addition to copper, gold,
silver. gems and other substances,
there is vast wealth in quarries, brick
yards, clay pits, terra Gotta and pot
terry works, in which large amounts OF
capital have been invested and IN the
development of which great NUMBERS
of men employed as Workmen nave
strong personal interest
To give the necessary information 10
all who are concerned, the state miner
alogist has arranged to have perma-
nent exhibition installed in the state
mining bureau in San Francisco, illus
trative of the variety and extent or the
states Industrial and mineral products,
which will be permanently ma1ntalned.
The PRODUCERS of the northern counties
of the state have manifested strong in
terest in this project, and there is no
doubt that they will be well repre-
sented by samples of their output. 1t
is evident that this part of California
cannot afford to be left out in such an
illustrative exhibition. Mr.. Thayer
will try to see all producers in this
section and arrange for exhibits to be
made by them, and will explain fully
the scope of the movement maugu-
rated by the state mineralogist for
home products. AS soon as he arrives
Mr.. Thayer will take means to COM
municate with the producers and to
inform them fully concerning the de-
tails of the plans that have peen
formulated.

CASH AND $3.50 IN JEWELS
Wallet Containing VaIuabIes Dis
, appears in Short Time

nent and wealthy dealer in harness
racing horses, reported to the detect
ives yesterday that he was robbed OF a
wallet containing $21S5 in currency and
three diamonds. valued at $3.50, within
half an hour after his arrival in Los
Angeles yesterday morning.
Mills alighted from the Owl train
from Oakland shortly after s o'clock
Yesterday morning. Gathering UP his
suit cases and overcoat, he hustled out
of the train into the crowded station
and waited for an uptown street car.
Arriving at the Matte house half an
hour later, he reached for the wallet to
discover it missing. He Immediately
notified the detectives and gave them a
description of the stolen property. The
money was in two bills of $1,000 denom-
ination each, five $40 bills, and the re-
mainder in FIVE and ten-dollar bills.
The diamonds consisted of pair OF
earrings and woman's solitaire set
ting.
Mills stated that he did not remember
anyone jostling him in the railroad
station or on his way to the hotel He
also stated that he was positive he mad
the wallet before he left the train.
Detectives Ritch and Roberts were
detailed on the case. All the banks
were notified to detain anyone attempt
inc to cash a bill of $1,000 denomina-
tion. and the attaches of the railroad
and street car companies were con-
suited. but no trace of the money or
valuables could be found. The detect
ives are led to believe that Mills was
the victim of clever pickpocket.

To SHOW WORK OF TOTS
At BETHLEHEM SCHOOL
Exhibition of Articles Made by
Children of Immigrants
to Be Held Today

Closing exercises of the Bethlehem
mission summer school will be held
in the mission chapel, $40 N. Vignes
street, this afternoon at o'clock.
About 125 children of many national
tiles are enrolled in the school and
the program will consist of national
songs of many foreign countries.
Dainty French voyager chansons will
be sung by the little Gallo urchins,
many of whom have been in America
but q few weeks, and boat songs by
little barefooted Italians, taught them
by a little girl who came but two
weeks ago from the land of sunshine.
There will be folk songs of the ne
groes and chants of the Russians and
as a climax the tots will sing several
national songs of the country OF their
adoption.
Following the program in the chapel
all the work which the children nave
completed during the summer will be
exhibited in the club rooms. The
girls have been taught to sew, and
pretty figured swiss aprons of their
own making will be shown. Stenciline
| is another art which has been taught
| them and the burlap curtains of the
sewing room show examples OF their
work Boxes made by the boys in the
sloyd department have been covered
with burlap by the girls ana pretty
designs painted on them, to be used in
the homes as stools and sewing boxes.
A feature in the girls department is
the work done in basket weaving. Use
full sewing baskets have been made OF
reeds and raf1a.
Pottery according to the director
of the institution, is an occupation to
which the boys adapt themselves
readily. Rude pitchers, nodded and
laquered by the boys. and candle
holders, cups. bowls, plates of various
designs and some quaint animal
figures nodded by the children in leis-
ure hours will be exhibited
In the art room of the Bethlehem
mission summer school there is great
din, as the children busv themselves
hammering brass and copper into can
die sticks, belt pins, hat pins and
paper knives, and corners for the pic
ture frames are made In the sloyd
department. Sloyd seems to the boys
to be the most interesting occupation,
and many a grim, scantily furnished
home has been transformed during the
past few months with the articles
which they have been taught 10 make
of soap boxes.
Mothers work has been lightened,
too. for many of the children have
made sleeve boards, and one little boy
whose father lis tailor has made a
tailor's ironing board. "Shine poxes"
have been quite popular and for a
time every little boy in the work room
was making one, for they are most
useful to boys Of that age.
Three cars have been chartered for
Friday to take the children of the sum-
mer school, with their mothers, baby
sisters and in some cases, their sick
fathers to Playa del Rey. They will
start at half past eight in the morn
ing and will not return until the sun
has set Boats have been reserved for
them to row on the lagoon, and there
will be bathing suits for every child.
Athletic contests and games have been
planned and prizes will PROBABLY be
given to the winners.
