ATTRACTIVE FOOTHLL
HOMES NEAR THE CTY
Views on the Way to the Can
yons and Griffith
Park .{~t

East Hollywood has been called Los
Angeles gateway to Griffith park. This
beautiful section is located at the head
of Vermont avenue at the base of the
Hollywood hills, and because of its
natural location is regarded as one OF
the most desirable residence districts
of Los Angeles.
The soil is a sandy loan and the
land slopes gently to the south. After
a heavy downpour Of rain no muddy
streets or flooded fields greet the eye
of the visitor to East Hollywood.
Lying as 1t does at an altitude of
about 500 feet, East Hollywood COM
mands an extended view of mountains,
valley and ocean.
East Hollywood has an excellent
car SERVE and is within the fve-cent
fare limit. The running time to the
business center of the city is fifteen
minutes.
The Sc ton is building up rapidly
and with desirable class of resi-
dents In February last, when East
Hollywood was annexed to Los An
geles, its population was not less than
5000. IT has two large church societies,
an excellent school, good stores and an
efficient board of trade
Among those who have found homes
in this beautiful residence section are
DR. Elbert s. Todd, John A. Aldritt and
Cassius Smith.

season. At the present time he has
240O pounds of comb honey ready to
ship to Los Angeles The hives are
filled again and will be ready to be
"rObbed" as soon as the owner is ready
to do the work. Honey from this val
ley took first prize at the Portland
exposition. 1t brings the highest price
in the market every years.
Mr.. Baxter has 80 acres to corn this
year. The stalks are about ten feet
high and laden with corn At least
5000 pounds of the shelled product will
be realized from the field to the acre.
Corn brings $40 per ton here. A large
lot of the place is in potatoes
Mr. Baxter says that his greatest
trouble is finding a place to put the
spuds after they are dug. They fairly
shove each other out of the ground.
Ten tons to the acre is what he is cal
culating to harvest from his spud land
this year. Hills producing ten pounds
of potatoes each are not unusual
RAISE HOGS ON APPLES
Last year Mr.. Baxter shipped 1000
boxes of apples from ten acres of or
chard and did not harvest nearly all of
the fruit The ground was covered
with rotting apples after he stopped
picking. Apples are a sure crop up
here.
Hog raising is an industry that pays
large returns in this valley. Some of
the farmers turn their hogs into the
orchards to eat the fruit that falls to
the ground and would otherwise spoil
Onions grow here to large size and an
acre of land produces wonderful
amount

stretches. For twenty miles there IS

CEMETERY Is DESOLATE
Opposite the station known as Little
Lake is a desolate little cemetery where
lie the remains of five men who died
far from home and friends. Two of the
men were killed by blast when the
Southern Pacific was being built and
three died from other causes. Rough
hands of comrades have built crude
monuments of rock above each grave
to mark the spot. The pitiful little
graveyard way out in the heart of the
Noiave desert is a paetheic sight
Farther on, and opposite the station
known as Mable, there is a large red
hill that was thrown up by volcano.
The hill is several hundred beet in
height and covered with red ashes to
such a depth that a person can hard
ly climb to the top. The western side
of the hill resembles the crater of a
volcano. The lava lies thick all
around that part of the desert. AT one
time, far back in the past ages, there
was a great upheaVal where the red
hill now stands sentinel.
Cos ohot springs, another wonder Of
the desert, are to be found fifteen miles
east of Mable on the desert. The
springs bubble and boil up, the water
is places showing a temperature Of
235. The mud around the springs con-
tains medicinal properties. People go
to the springs to get cured Of rheuma-
tism and generally come away entirely
cured. Some day there will be hotels
and other buildings around the springs.
CITY OWNS PLANT
1t Haiwee is located the cement
plant owned by the city. An electric
road runs from the stone quarries, a
mile back, to the plant. The minia-
ture trains dash up with loads of rock,
unload and dash back again, as i'm
portant, apparently, as the electric
roads in Los Angeles.
The train reaches Olancha at 3;45
o'clock An automobile was in readl-
ness to carry the passengers to Lone
Pine, ana no time was lost in climb
ing aboard. Soon we We're under way,
six passengers and the driver. The
distance of thirty miles to Lone Pine
was made i'm two hours travelling and
there remained overnight.
Lone Pine is an interesting little
place. Many of the inhabitants have
resided there from thirty to forty
years, and some even longer. Time
starts from the earthquake which
shook down the adobe houses there in
1873. AT that time about thirty peo-
pie We're killed i'm Lone Pine alone.
Other tragedies occurred in other towns
in the valley, but the greatest death
list was at the former place. They
talk of the temhlor even yet, and right
good cause have many of them to re-
member it. The adobe houses fell
and crushed the inhabitants without
warning.

So Alfred might have been seen
stepping hesitatingly up the steps Of
the Milton home on Christmas eve.
He carried a small package in one
hand. It was his intention to deliver
this to whoever came to the door. with
q message that It was for Prudence.
In answer to his ring no less a per-
con than Prudence herself opened the
ioor. Her eyes were sparkling, her
cheeks were rosy, and In one hand she
held bunch Of green stuff"
Why, Alfred!" she exclaimed
Come right in. I'm putting up the

She mounted chair and atfixed the
bunch of green sprays to the chande.
tied Alfred stood in dumb admira-
ton He looked at Prudence. and he
looked at the green heritage which
she fastened to the fixture. She look
ed down at him. smiling. then put out
her hand.
Help me down." che said.
Alfred caught her hand to assist her

Heroes are made In moment No
i man knows in what instant his soul
may flame within him so that he win

doing or daring. The philosophers
call such times psyche ogicai mo

Prudence down. and It was quite nat
ural and easy for her to and herself
in his arms when she reached the
floor. And then before she knew what
he. was about--at least. 20 she said
he had kissed her.

And then Alfred found tongue at

him to tell her all the year. And he
asked her to be his Christmas gift.
and she consented In what Is so often
called the time-honored way That lie.
she allowed him to put the kiss back

I'm the final analysis the real sig
nificance of the November election is
that ire American people did their
best to express their approval OF pro-
gress and their disapproval of reac-
ton and compromise"
Referring to the statement of Sen
ator LaFollette, the esteemed Macon
News says:
Senator LaFollette is unquestion-
ably correct in his reading of the
barometer. The result was
more in the nature of reputation
of the republican policies than an
of the democratic party,
as the News has said from the out
set. But it is nevertheless a bid to
the democrats to show their ability
and willingness to give the country
GOOD government with a guarantee
tnat they win be entrusted with the
administration if they prove eqnai
ID it. It remains for the democrats
% show what use they win make Of
the opportunity"
The News agrees with both sen
ator LaFouette and It's Macon namc
sake. Rut we believe the repudia-
ion was due as much TO the per
-,aoious activity of Theodore RoCse-
welt as it was to the tariff and the
