Paving May
Extend to the
State Highway

Extensive paving projects by the
city council to link the State High
way from Mulberry Lane and Imper-
ial avenue with the paving on Main
street, which ends at the Date canal,
became known this morning. There
are a number of details yet to be
worked out by the board and it is
probable the aid of the county will
be asked in carrying out the work.
The State Highway, when it is com
pleted, will extend from the base of
the mountains to the junction of Null
berry lane and Imperial avenue. At
that point the concrete ribbon ends,
leaving stretch Of unpaved road
several blocks in length.
For some time the city has been
considering the extension of the pay.
ing on Main street, from the Date
canal to Ninth street. property own
ers along the line Of the projected paw
/ ing having signified their Willingness
to bear the assessment.
/ Beyond Ninth street lies the property
owned by the county, which cannot be
assessed, it was stated this morninc.
An effort is to be made to gain the
financial assistance of the board OF
supervisors and, if this is mavailing.
it is probable the strip, several hun
dred feet in length, will be left un-
paved.
/ The expense Of paving the street in
front Of the new grammar school viii
likely be borne by the city. On the
strip from the Date canal to Ninth
street paving 40 feet wide and curbs
will he put in, bu1 beyond that poin,
the bituIitbie strip viii be only 90
feet wide, with no curbs.
Taere was no solution offered this
morning as 10 the paving Of Imperial
avenue from Main street to the end
Of the State Highway. The expense
may be borne ioiatIy by the city and
county.
The paving Of Main street from
High street to the DogWood canal NAV
also become a possibility in the near
future, it was limited this morning. Tn,
legal phase Of the question is halted
only by the advertising of the pro-
posed work, which would delay opera
tions only short time should the
council decide to BEGIN work immedi-
ately.
The dozen siphons deemed necessary
by the state along the route of the
highway have all been installed and
Arthur Shepard, chairman of the
board of supervisors, is planning the
installation of more.
One is to be put in at the inter-
section of Main street and the Dog
wood canal and another is to be con-
structed at the intersection of Main
street and the Acacia canal.
With the completion of these 2, ST.
phons will have been put in at the
crossing of the road with every canal
between Holtyille and Dixieland.
OF the $4,000 expended in the

construction of siphons on the route
of the State Highway, the expense for
the most part will be borne by the
state.

HALF CENTURY "REMINISCENCES
Recollections of F. l.. Tower Who Came to the Pacific Coast By Way of Panama Isthmus Fifty-seven Years Ago

Fifty seven years ago F. L. Tower the way of Panama.
 He has since travelled extensively in this country and in Mexico but that journey of more than half century ago that was forty y-two days in the making, remains the most interesting from an adventurous viewpoint.
 Mir. Tower only recently returned west from a visit to his boyhood home in Vermont and in discussing this trip and. those of the past at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Frank De Souza yesterday he said: When you sum it all up there is only one ideal place in which to live and that is Phoenix The perfect climate, the wonderful resourc- es, the democratic people combine in making it incomparab ble"
 After paying the sincere compliment to the sunshine state. MT. Tower spoke of the days before the war" His "reminiscences carried him back to '5S, when with his father he left New York for long tour When he reached Aspinwan the railroad had just been completed across the isthmus and the
 
 hundred passengers were unable to leave the steamer until the govern meEt sent two regiments to their aid.
 Tt was twelve hours before we could land and then the soldiers demanded that we remain in an iron shed for our own protection. The firing did not cease while we remained in our fort and soldiers were our guards to tue m ma and on the train I recall. I pur- chased cocoanuts from a native wo- man. She carried them on her head in much the same manner our Indians dc their pottery and I remember how glad was when she approached as l was Particularly fond of the milk of the cocoanut. l bought several Shortly afterwards my father picked up one of the cocoanuts, which by the way were only nickel piece and said "8v iove if this were not prohibition country" and sure enough the nut was filled Witf Jamaica rum"
 MT. Tower passed several years in California and in the early seventies. froVe a four-muie team from san Francisco to Los Angeles. He was so lonely in the city of the Angels for English speaking citizens that he hur- riedly left the place He said he was offered three lots for S6O0 but he was not far seeing enough to believe the property would be worth s1.OOO.O 900 in 1915 and assed up the chance.
 Arizona too. attracted him in those days He was in Yuma when a stage Was robbed near that place. one pas sen@er losing lump sum of S5000.
 That robbery led to several similar crimes I distinctly remember q dap- Ter looking young chap who ap- preached one of our deacons with inc story that the prisoner had told him where he had buried the treasure. He asked the deacon to accomDany him and under the tree as stated bv the prisoner was the gold brick. Immedi- atelY the deacon was willing to become partner, but the young man said no not until ha returned with the report Toin the assayer. He brought back word 1t was pure gold. but he would take S2000 cash for his part. After he got out with his share it was of course found to be pure and unaduIterated tin Just an incident of one day. con cluded MT. Tower with a shrug.

T would not go so far as 10 say that Shakespeare is dead. but he is in deep sleep, and while in this cata- leptic state. l have decided to keep abreast of the times and therefore have gone into motion pictures. Unless an actor is a freak or has something of a freakish nature to present. there is no place for him on the stage to- day"
 In these words. Robert Nantell, per haps the greatest living exponent of Shakespearean drama, summed up his reason for leaving the legitimate stage and Shakespearean roles to appear on the screen for William Fox under a contract to be featured in series of modern dramas, the first Of which is The Blindness of Devotion" now ap- bearing at the Lamara

The Natural Man

The Vitagraph people are responsible for the story in film form that serves ae the bill at the Amuzu today and it is somewhat different tale of the photoplay ir that fl tells of girl who has too much money and who is bored to death with the insipid men of her own set She finds in a primitive man of the back woods her ideal and what he lacks in society finesse he makes up in brawn and muscle and good old fashioned horse sense. Of course she shocks her associates in the set in which she has been a great faVorite but she goes back to the primative and weds the man who is The Natural Man" of her dreams. It is a splendid idea worked out with much that ap- reals in scenic equipment to augment the story itself With it will be seen two one reel comedy creations as fil- Iers.

GLENDALE, Dec. 5.-LocaI bean growers are congratulating them selves upon their success in landing the government contract to furnish 10000 pounds of pink beans to the state institutions at a price of $5.05 and $5.25 per 100 lhs.
 This is the first time local growers have ever secured similar contract and this was brought about through the efforts of Rudolph Kuchler of the United Produce Growers associa- tion, who appeared before the govern or a month ago and asked that con- sideration of bids be postponed in order that local people have a chance to put in bids in competition with Los Angeles and other outside bidders.
 The local bean crop is the best ever harvested in the valley, producing on an average or twenty sacks to the acre. The output in this section will
