While many mining towns may
yet claim that gold can be panned
from the streets, Los Angeles can
do the same also. Great crowds
gathered recently on Broadway,
the main street, to see a gold pan
filled with gravel deposit of the
gutter tilted from side to side and
the muddy sediment washed free
from the gravel and gold.
H. McAvany, clerk in a cigar
store, was standing near the curb
recently, when scintillations of
the tiny precious particles in the
gutter at his feet attracted his
eye. He stopped and scooped up
a handful of the gravel.
Instantly, what he believed to
be grain gold, showed in the gran
lite gravel. McAvany collected the
gravel in small heap in the gut
ter and filled a small tobacco box.
Having heard of the tenderfoot
who always finds his fortune in
gold which later turns out to be
mica or pyrites, McAvany took the
gravel, less than a double hand
| full, into the barber shop, and,
placing it in a pan, washed out
the sand. The small particles,
some having the appearance Of
lace, other as small as dust, which
had been dug from a pocket,
sparkled and shone.
| McAvany called an assayer &C
quaintance, and after a short in
spection he declared that 1t was
gold and the quantity in the
gravel made the deposit rich.
During the remainder of the
afternoon crowds gathered along
the gutter for a block. and where
ever a small handful Of gravel
could be gathered there were the
particles of gold.
1t is thought that the gold was
washed from the gravel of an ad-
jacent unpaved street.

Pool Playing Minister Didn't
Lose His Job After All

NEWPORT, Wash, April A.
Because he was the champion
pool player of this section of the
country, Rev. Frank e. Whitman,
pastor of the Congregational
church here, lost five of his con-
gregation. But in the losing of
the five he gained fifty.
This is how it happened:
For some time after taking the
church at Newport, the Rev. Mr..
Whitman conducted himself as a
pious man, according to the view
point of so years ago.
1t was noted. however, that at
times the Rev. Mr.. Whitman,
when in the company of the
younger men of his congregation
would descend to converse on the
probable chances of the Athletics
for the next world championship
and things in general pertaining
to sports; all of which was sacri-
legious and looked upon askance
by the hardshell portion of his
weekly audience.
The straw that broke the hard
shell back was cast into the field
when a member of the congrega-
ton saw the pastor defeating the
champion pool player of the town
in the town pool room at 10 D. m.
He broke the news to the rest or
the congregation.
The Congregations heads of
the Northwest were called to sit
in judgment upon him.
But all went well. The Rev.
Mr.. Whitman was declared with
in his rights by the modern con-
clave and the clouds lifted. Five
had departed and so had entered.
Rev. Whitman says:
''The church must advance
from the stereotyped methods in
vogue, must get larger vision of

The game is opened by taking up all the carpets,
opening all the windows that there Is fine

the essential details of this, the National Game

The non-essential details, those relative to the
peregrinations of the masculine martyr are in the
main, too narrowing to print.
No doubt it is great game-else would they
not play it with such keen zest each recurring
spring-but why 1t is wherefor, or wherein lies
its greatness and its lure, no man knows.

Under the immigration laws of the
United States, any vessel bringing TO
the United States an alien with a
dangerous or contagious disease,
which could have been detected at
port Of embarktion, is subject to a
fine. The ship owners have a way of
getting around this law by taking
passengers afflicted with such diseas-
es to Mexico, where, after a period
of six months or so, they regain their
health. In ease Of their complete re-
covery they are usually admitted to
the States.
