 The whole development means the expenditure of many millions. The purchase of the land alone involves an expenditure of over s1 ,000000 which is said to be the largest transaction in the realty business ever consummated in Los Angeles. Contracts for the tract have been made after the most careful investigation.
 All to Aid Valley Here
 One of the most favorable features about the tract is it's excellent water supply. Several large pumping plants have been located on this tract for years the water standing within 20 feet of the surface, and being water ideally suited to the purposes for which it is desired.
 Experts in the cotton business have also very carefully studied atmospheric conditions and are confident that the conditions are absolutely perfect for the manufacture of cotton fabrics.
 This whole proposition is most sat- isfactory to the cotton industry in the Salt River Valley and proves conclu- sively that the long fibre cotton of the southwest is here to stay as a perma- nent and thoroughly desirable indus try.

 First VuIcanizing an Accident
 "The discovery of the process of vulcanizing rubber was an accident. Charles Goodyear, for whom this com pany is named, was experimenting with rNbber, and one day he had some crude gum mixed with sulphur and zinc in hls hand. He was in the kitchen, when he heard his wife, a woman of some what shrewish disposition, coming, and hurriedly threw the stuff into the stove to save himself a tirade. The fire was out but the stove was hot. When she had gone he fished it out and found vulcanized rubber, and that discovery has made possible the entire modern industry"
 Dwight B. Heard has been in posses sion of the facts regarding the fabric mill and tire factory to be built at Los Angeles for some time, and late last night received permission to make it public, but the story in brief came over the Associated Press wire from Los Angeles before he had prepared a statement in regard to the matter, which statement follows:
 Remarkable Industrial Development
 One of the most remarkable indus trial developments which has ever oc- cured in the vicinity of Los Angeles is the recent decision of the Goodyear Rubber company to purchase a tract of approximately 500 acres in the | southeastern corner of the City of Los Angeles.
 This tract is a half mile wide by | nearly two miles long. bounded on the north by the tracks of the Santa Fe 1 railroad. It is reached by the Pacific | Electric tracks and near it's southern | border is the Southern Pacific system. l It lies just a half mile east of the | boulevard to the harbor, and is beau l tiful piece of ground, particularly adapted to the high class development which the Goodyear people have under way.
 Development Plans
 Their development plans include the erection and operation of a thoroughly modern cotton mill for spinning into cotton fabrics the finet ypes of cotton | in the southwest which have proved so satisfactory in the manufacture of the Goodyear tires. Adjacent to the mill will be completely equipped factory for the manufacture of tires. Adjoin- ing these great factories it is proposed to lay out 160 acres to be known as | Goodyear park, in an ideal subdivision for the use of many of the employees of the company. Another feature which will be of particular interest to all visiting Los Angeles is the great aeronautic field which the Goodyear people will develop where dirigible

The physician tells Billehe knows they are escaped conyicts, but he will do what he can for Dan. That is very little; for Dan dies shortly after their arrival.
