One of the men who spied the bunch of TinymitcS, said, i've a hunch that, with our little cork guns, we can capture every one.
 "Now, if they run, our guns we'll pop. I'm sure that that will make them stop. Then we will march them through the woods. That will be lots of fun"
 "All right" the other answered. "You have stated what we ought to do, so you talk to the little folks, and find out what they say.
 T will stand near, all set to fight, SO rest assured you'll be all right. The king will be pleased with our work. This is our lucky day"
 Wee Scouty heard them, and he said, We will not run, so come ahead and capture us. Remember, though, we're strangers on this land.

AT
HIGH PEAK AT
TURN OF YEAR

The year 1885 ended with bust
ness conditions in Southern Cali
fornia more favorable than at any
time in over four years, according
to the Monthly Summary of Bust
ness Conditions issued by the Re
search Department of the Security
First National Bank of Los An
geles. Further gains occurring
during December carried the banks
index of local business to 84.3
preliminary as compared with
82.5 in November.
Practically all lines of activity
showed improvement during the
month. Building operations adj
vanced appreciably with much
new work being launched in the
residential, commercial and public
works fields. Rejecting increased
activity on the stock exchanges, in
the real estate market, and in
building as we'll as expansion in
farm income and retail trade, bank
debit totals rose to new recovery
levels. Trade attained new high
ground in suburban and nearby
rural cities, sales being the largest
since 1929. Department stores in
downtown Los Angeles, however,
were disappointed by their Christ
mas volume; although 7 per cent
above 1884, the increase over No
vember was less than the usual
seasonal amount.
The recovery to date has devel-
oped primarily under the stimulus
of increased farm income, govern
ment spending, population growth
and, during the past year, eXpan-
sion in private building operations.
Farmers have benefited from the
general rise in the American price
level as we'll as better purchasing
power throughout the nation. Gov
eminent spending has partially
filled the gap created by the in
activity in local capital goods in
dustries, lie. the building trades.
During 1884, revival OF private
building began, starting a new
flow of funds and creating new
employment, with the result that
recovery in all lines has been
materially quickened. In the year
now starting, it appears that the
combined stimulus Of government
spending and private building
activity will continue. A large
volume of public works is already
assured through commitments
made by the PWA and WPA and
approved by local political bodieS.
On the private side, the population
is again growing, housing scar
city prevails, rents are rising, and
ample credit is available for new
building; these conditions, If main
tanned, will be distinctly faVofaple
to private construction operations
during 1896.

RURAL AREAS
SUFFER UNDER
PRIVATE POWER

Identification of farms through-
out the rural sections of this
country viii not progress rapidly
under the auspices of privately
owned power companies because
installation costs and rates for
power must necessarily be set 50
high by these private companies
as TO make the service prohibitive.
according to a bulletin discussed
by members of the Imperial Irri-
cation district board of directors
at their meeting early this week.
Installation costs. according to the
bulletin. are a charge against the
operating expenses of the com
panies and. sooner or later, they
show up in the rate base and must
be paid for by the ultimate con-
sume".
After thorough discussion OF
this matter it was the opinion Of
the district board that there is just
one way 10 BRING about any very
extensive rural identification eth
err in this district or in any other
part OF the country and that is
through a system which generates
the current at cost, transmits 1t
at cost, distributes it at cost and
at all times keeps the entire cost
down to the lowest possible point.
The district board has given a
great deal of attention to this
question OF rural electrification
since it forms one of the most i'm
portant parts of the general power
program approved by the board,
and is convinced that any such
program would not be successful
with installation costs and serV-
ice rates at high marks.
Only when this program is car
ried out by district distribution OF
all power generated through the
All American canal will it be done
in a manner satisfactory to ranch
ers of the district with low costs
OF installation and rates for serV-
ice, was the statement issued by
the board.

Then the superior court judge

Back AlimOny Suit
1t was IN the suit of Mrs. Har-
riet Annie Carter against Nor
man Harold Carter to collect $3123
in back alimony and court costs.
The Carriers were divorced in Van
couver in 1929 and she was award
ed costs and S45 a month alimony.
Miss Paterson represented Mrs.
Carter in the divorce in British
Columbia. Carriers attorney moved
to have Mrs. Carriers collection
suit thrown out of court. Miss Pat
erson came here to testify for Mrs.
Carter and, at Doughertys sugges-
ton, to tell his lordship" about
the British Columbia divorce law.

Carriers attorney argued the
British Columbia order is not en-
forceable here because in the pro-
vince such orders are subject to
retroactive amendment, while here
they are not.
Miss Paterson disagreed. Judge
Robinson took the point under
submission and the suit for judg-
ment was set for trial January 16.

In Lincoln Tragedy

The last of the six men who car
ried dying Abraham Lincoln from
Ford's theater' in Washington the
night of April IA. 1865, died at the
home of his daughter in Turtle
Greek, Pa, today.
Jacob j. Soles, 80, last link be-

toric night, died in his sleep.
Soles often recalled seeing John
Wilkes Booth enter the theater
and pass a guard with the word
he had a personal message for the
president.
Because his eyes were on the
performance, SoIes failed to see
the actual shooting of President
Lincoln. But he did see Booth
jump from the presidential box to
the stage and flee, gun in hand
There always was doubt in
Soles' mind that Booth persisted in
the fire that destroyed a barn
where he supposedly was found
hiding after the shooting.
