TOMS VOICE FULL
OF RANGE AND TONE

Madam Alta Toni will begin a
weeks engagement at the l.. & S
Teatre tomorrow evening, her pro-
gram consisting of vocal solo work
She possesses a soprano voice OF rare
power. Her numbers consist of op-
cratic selections, accompanying a pho
nograph upon which is played repro
ductions of Melba, Kubelik and other
famous artists. The blending OF
Madam Toni's voice with that of Mel
ba is almost a coincidence, so perfect
is the actual rendition.
Madam Toni delighted number OF
newspaper men this morning at a
private rehearsal, the prevailing opin-
ion being that the artist possesses a
Wonderful range and voice of more
than pleasing tone quality. Madam
Toni carries her own accompanist with
her, which adds materially to the ef-
fectiveness of her renditions.

Biuebird at L. & S. Tomorrow Night

"Love's Larit," classic Bluebird,
which will be shown at the l.. & S.

doubt the finest comedy drama yet
produced. Many of our patrons who
have witnessed it elsewhere, have pro
nounced it masterpiece. The man
agement is pleased to announce its
immediate showing. If you would
know how eight cowboys brought di-
rect from their home on the plains
to the contrasting scenes of Fifth
avenue and New York's high society,
see "Iove's Larit" and enjoy many
hearty laughs. Harry Carey and Olive
Fuller Golden handle the situations in
grand style.

PROMINENT REALTY MAN
SEE BIG RETURNS FROM
.CALIPATRIA INVESTMENT

Calipatria, Dec. 5.-One Of the most
prominent and best known real es-
tate mer of Southern California and
( II face on the whole Coast was in
the Valley recently looking over the
situation and condition of things gen
orally and after visiting the different
Valley towns, said that in his opinion
Imperial Valley rca! estate offered
the best Investment that one could
make today.
Especially enthusiastic was he re-
oarding the outlook at Calipatria and
he prophesied that any one investing
IN a town lot or some small close-in
acreage would treble or quadruple
their money in very short time;
that nowhere before had he seen the
same opportunities and he wondered
why people could be so slow in realiz-
ing it all.
With these branch railroads in the
luilding, with the enormous acreage
tributary ard so much being put in
crop, with the cotton gins already in
end the cottonsced oil mill assured
by another season, with all this big
capital being invested. he said nothing
could possibly stop Calipatria from
Icing one Of the best towns in the
Valley.
In spite of the large openings in
Calipatria today, there are right now
real snaps in town lots and small
acreage, lcgAe sacrifice buys, and T.
A. Johnson of Calipatria, who has a
lumber Of these listed, will be GLAD to
have people call oH him OF write to
lin for full particulars regarding the
same.

To The Stockholders of the Mill
Ter Train Control Corporation.

The efficiency and practicability
of the Miller Train Control is now
assured, as proven by its use on
the main line of the Chicago and
Eastern Illinois Railroad.
Its daily use for nearly three
years on the main line of this rail-
road, attaining 100 per cent eff
cheney in performing the functions
claimed for it, under all kinds OF
climatic conditions, Is THE BEST
EVIDENCE OF ITS MERIT.
The arrangements of a number
of railroads are seriously consid-
ering the question of the adoption
of train control, and as the Miller
Train Control is in actual service
on standard railroad, when it is
put in use on other roads the mar
ket value of its securities should be
considerably above par.
We will be pleased to furnish
you information on request.

TROUBLE is being fomented in Charles
Town by Rev. E. p. Moon and other COL
ored persons OF that community because
of the fact that the new passenger station
OF the Norfolk & Western Railway has
separate waitingroomS for white and color
ed persons. When plans for the new
station were under consideration few
years ago, the railroad officials took pains
to learn the sentiment OF the community
on the question of separate rooms, and
when il found that this was desired by a
majority OF the people, the station was
built accordingly. Now that the hand
some and comfortable new station has
been completed, Rev. Moon and his fol-
lowers assume that their rights are in
fringed upon and they have, we under
stand, lodged complaint with Governor
Hatfield and the State Public Service
Commission. The commission has taken
up the matter, and has cited the railway
officials TO appear before II in Charleston.
This seems TO be an unnecessary STIR
ring up of trouble. The Norfolk & West
ern station at ShepherdStown is OF the
same character as that al Charles Town,
and so far as we have ever heard, there
is no complaint OF any discrimination.
The colored people have room just as
comfortable as the white persons have,
with the same conveniences and privi-
leges, and they sensibly use il and enjoy
if. Both races are satisfied, as they ought
10 be, and we have never heard OF any
real objection to il here. II is 10 be re-
GREETED that this matter has been agitated
IN Charles Town, and we trust that the
commission will adjust the trouble in
common-senSe way and permit the will
OF the majority TO prevail, so long as no
harm is done any other body otcitizenS.
