Growth of Los Angeles AaddLke, in Which the Los Angeles
Investment Company Has Been Prominent Factor-Pans
of the Company Involve Tremendous Outlay of Cash

The statement that the growth OF
Los Angeles has1been Aladdin-like is
amply borne out by some of the devel-
opments now going on in the south
western section of the city. The Her
galow section and the newest of the
Derby Park tract, an exclusively bum
galow section and the nevis of the
Los Angeles Investment companys s
tracts. 1t lies between Forty eighth
and Fifty-first streets and Western
and Denker avenues and adjoins On
the east the company's College tract
and College tract annex.
The pictures were taken about two
months apart. The raw acreage shown
in the first picture has been paved
and curbed, walks laid, water, cleo
tricity and telephones put in and the
homes are now in all stages of com
pletion as far as the eye can reach.
In this immediate. vicinity 4his COM
pany alone has upward of fifty houses
under way, each one architecturally
different.
The Los Angeles Investment COM
pany is rapidly pushing to compile
ton the building up of its southwest
ern holdings preparatory TO moving
it's mills to the new site of eighty-siX
acres on the Santa Fe tracks at west
ern and Normandie avenues. The mills
will involve an expenditure of $500,000
and will be among the largest in the
west In them will be manufactured
everything put into house, the only
exception being the hardware. The
removal of the mills is further ne
cesistated by the beginning of work

ANTELOPE VALLEY IS
ASSURED OF SUCCESS
Fertile Soil, Plenty of Water and
Excellent Climate PresageS
Great Future

The possibilities OF the Antelope val
ley are declared to be most encourag-
ing. One of the enthusiastic boosters of
this region is Edward Scherman.
Antelope valley is only three hours
away from Los Angeles. 1t possesses a
healthfuI climate, the altitude being
from 23OO to $500 feet, an abundance
of artesian water to be had at depth
of from 200 to 900 feet, fertile soil
producing nine to twelve tons of alfalfa
yearly.
The fine success which orchardists
have had in raising the finest quality of
apples and pears, also grapes and vege-
tables, is attractive to anyone who de-
Sires to enjoy the California climate
and get rich returns on his investment
Mr.. Scherman's system of buying
and selling for cash gives the cash
buyer an opportunity to save 100 per
cent on the purchase price and places
cash buyers in better position to de-
velop the land and get quick returns.
Prosperity in the Antelope valley will
be of great benefi. to the city and
county of Los Angeles and TO every
citizen. Every acre in that valley that
is put under cultivation increases the
resources of Los Angeles county. The
recent sales made by Mr.. Scherman
in the artesian district of the Antelope
valley are as follows: r. D. Sill of
Pasadena. 100 acres; William l.. Dor
sey of Los Angeles, 100 acres; T. F.
Mortinson of Los Angeles, 40 acres;
M. M. Hart of Belvedere, 40 acres; w.
N. Umstead of Vernon, 400 acres; A.
w. Reed, $50 acres; Capt. William
Faulkner, 100 acres; Charles Knagen-
helm 100 acres; l. N. Bryson, 120 acres;
L. C. Neal, so acres.

VAST TRACT LIES AT CABAz0N

One of the most important land
transfers this week is reported by the
Western Realty and Investments conf
pany, 315 South Hill street, who have
sold for Robert f. Garner of San Ber-
nardino 5000 acres of land at Cabazon,
just east of Banning in Riverside
county, for a consideration of $4,000.
The purchasers consist of a body of
local and eastern capitalists, namely,
T. E. Nelson of ST. Paul, S. A. Roth
ermel of Chicago, j. B. Frost of Dem
yer, c. P. Dorland of Monrovia and
w. |. Malone and e. M. Larsen Of Los
Angeles, who have formed a syndicate
to be known as the Malone Water and
Land company, and will commence eX-
tensive improvements at once.
The land purchased has a gentle
slope to the southwest and lies on
both sides of the Southern Pacific
railroad, with Cabazon station right on
the tract
Water rights have also been secured
in Nillard canyon by which more than
enough water will be conveyed to the
tract for irrigation; in fact, cement
f1ume has already been constructed
which is supplying water to eighty
acres now under cultivation.
1t is the intention of the new COM
pany to subdivide and sell off tho
property in small farms, and there is
little doubt that the undertaking will
be a success as there has long been
a demand for ranches in this vicinlty.
The quality of the soil, the high ele-
vation and the climatic conditions
make the Banning territory the most
desirable IN Southern California for
the growing of apples, peaches. apci-
cots and alfalfa, while it's proximity
| to Los Angeles. coupled with the ex-
| cellent railroad facilities, assure a.
ready market The Western Realty
and investments company will handle
the new tract.

WILL 7EST ALABAMA
CONTRACT LABOR LAW
Supreme Court of United States
Asked to Pass on Validity
of Act.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 16.-Releving
that hundreds Of southern negroes are
being deprived OF their liberty by big
planters under forms of law, the federal
government this week will ask the SUI
preme court Of the United States TO de-
clare unconstitutional the so called Ala
oama labor contract law. The treat
ment OF negro farm hands under this law
is interpreted by the department OF JUS
tice as a reduction OF those laborers 10
state OF peonage. Compulsory service
In satisfaction OF debt is taken by Attor-
ney General Wickcrsbam as the object
TO he accomplished by, the legislation;
TO defend its enactment. 1t is claimed
by Attorney General CARRIER Of that state
that the law In question Is not aimed at
the negro a class.
The case comes TO the court on the
appeal OF a negro, Alonzo Bailey, from
the decision OF the supreme court or Ala
and punished Bailey for violating II by
assessing fine equal 10 1l6 days hard
labor for the county, Bailey entered Into

had received SIS In advance and was 10

of Slo.75 a month He worked month

The negro was arrested under the IA
Dor contract law This law provides
that In contracts of service entered into
by a laborer with intent 70 defraud.
where money was advanced, the contract
broken without Just cause and the money
not refunded the laborer should be guilty
OF misdemeanor. An amendment to
the law In 1909 provided that the failure
to perform the service and 10 refund the
money should be prinla facie evidence OF
intent to defraud.
The state says that Bailey has no right
10 complain because he never took the
stand to rcfutc the presumption of his
return replies that the laws OF Alabama
closed his mouth by declaring that ne
could not testify al TO his uncommunl-
Gated intent,
