Comobabi ESTABLISHED 1879 LEADING RACE JOURNAL THE LARGEST AND BEST PHONE MAIN 1594 VOLUME 29 Co P Last Sunday afternoon at 5 o'clock before perhaps the largest and most representative audience of Colored citizens which has ever packed the doors of the Los Angeles Forum at the corner of Eighth and Wall streets. Los Angeles, the attention of the Colored citizens of California was called as never before to the great problem of the economic need of our citizenship. The occasion was a remarkable descriptive address on mineralogy and mining delivered by A. Avery high E. McDowell on this occasion seems to have set the pace for the economid up-lift of the Colored citizens of California. Attorney Macbeth who had but a short while ago returned from a trip of investigation lasting over a half a month and taking him into the wilds of the Comobabi Mountains, 65 miles southwest of Tucson. Arizona, where he examined in detail the extensive and wonderful properties of the Comobabi Mines Company, which properties have been collected during the past ten years by the president of the Comobabi Mines Company. Mr. George W. Miller, a former resident of Los Angeles, but now of Tucson, Arizona, stated that the trip was the most wonderful one ever experienced by him. In the beginning of Attorney Macbeth's address which lasted for more than an hour and which was commented upon on all sides as one of the most thought-provoking addresses ever delivered in Los Angeles, Attorney Macbeth said, "I come this afternoon to present to you an opportunity—no, not an opportunity; rather should it be said that I come to you this afternoon to confront you with the most serious duty and obligation which has ever confronted a people in a public concern themselves in making it possible for the rank and file of the people to honestly earn enough money to enable themselves and families to enjoy at least the normal comforts, privileges and immunities of average American citizens." In graphic style the speaker went on to picture to his hearers' the conditions of poverty and vice which existed in a large and growing measure among the Colored citizens of Los Angeles. He described the large and growing element of lawless people who have no physical-means of support and have to make their living by questionable means. He recited in detail the campaign which the church people' and various institutions are making against such evils as the ltery evil, the opium evil, public prostitution, gambling, buffet flats and illicit liquor selling in general. He brought the audience to its feet when he explained that the entire responsibility for the crime which existed among those whom the better class of people sought to suppress was not upon the souls of those victims of the criminal. He stated the cause of 75 per cent of the criminality existing among the Colored citizens of Los Angeles was due not to an inborn criminal instinct but was due in the main to poverty on the part of the victims. The speaker cited a number of instances. The speaker cited a number of instances. The speaker cited a number of instances. The speaker cited a number of instances. The speaker turned the attention of his hearers to the survey of the great economic growth of the state of California and of the United States in general. He showed how California was nothing but a barren waste until pioneers discovered the great mineral wealth of the State and began to dig out the gold and other valuable metals and used this new and added wealth to the development of the great Golden State. He showed how San Francisco has been built to its present great and towering strength by wealth secured in the first instance from the bowels of the earth, notably from the famous mine known as the Comstock Lode. Going further, the speaker pictured the development of the great Southern Pacific Railroad System and its kindred enterprises in California—all enhanced by money and wealth obtained from the mines of California and the West. Referring to the great agricultural, horticultural and viticultural development of California, the speaker said that all of this marvelous and beautiful development of the Golden State was made possible by the gold and capital in general derived from California's mines. Commenting upon the general and wonderful development of California and the West the speaker called the attention of his hearers to the fact that by the same means that the white men of California and of the West have developed this State and have in instances caused the very desert to bloom, to-wit: by wealth derived from the mines—by these very means could the Colored citizens of California and the West develop other and in instances greater natural resources, which do yet abound in this comparatively new and The California Eagle 100 Five hundred dollars in ere taken out or this hole. Mr. George W. Miller, who discovered the Comobabi Mines at the right and two Indian miners. undeveloped country. In vivid detail Attorney Macbeth described his trip from Los Angeles to Tucson and then to the Comobab Mines Mountains in company with Mr George W. Miller, president of the Comobab Mines Company. Arriving at the mines on the 19th of October Mr. Macbeth described his ten days stay in the wilds of the Comobab Mountains, cut off entirely from outside civilization "as the most wonderful ten days of my life." At this period of the address the speaker went on to explain to his hearers the theory of mineralization—how the precious minerals and metals were brought up in liquid form and otherwise from the bowels of the earth and deposited under certain conditions on the surface thereof. With the aid of certain charts which Attorney Macbeth had prepared for the occasion, he made clear to every one who heard him that which has been a mystery to most men—how and where to find precious minerals. He exhibited a special chart of the Grand Central Hill, one of the central claims of the 60 mining claims owned by the Comobab Mines Company in the Comobab Mountains. This chart showed this particular claim to be the center of a most remarkable volcanic activity and system of mineralization. The speaker also went on to describe the ten years of sacrifice and study which Mr. George W. Miller, president of the Comobab Mines Company, had made and he also described the wonderful contributions which Mr. Miller by his ten years of study had made to the general science of mineralogy. Summing up the results of his observations as to the ore bodies in the Comobab Mines Company properties, the speaker stated that after visiting about 75 per cent of the prop- Five hundred dollars in ere the George W. Miller, whi Mines at the right and twerty he had carefully calculated from what he could see of the veins piercing the uplift or mountains that the Comobabi Mines Company had on the mountains or uplifts without going below the surface level of the valley, at least $150,000.00 worth of ore. Referring to the management of the Comobabi Mines Company, Attorney Macbeth said that he took occasion to investigate to the smallest detail the handling of the moneys of the Comobabi Mines Company from the time of its existence to the date of his trip. He found that out of about $5000 which has been spent from the date of the origin of the Company to the time of his trip, nearly $10,000 worth of work had been accomplished. He stated that the Company had a large supply of ore stacked on the dumps which was being cleaned and assorted for shipping as fast as Mr. Miller and his assistants could work. The speaker stated the immediate needs of the Company as follows: A modern engine, compressor and rotary air drills, which would enable the Company to make tremendous headway in ripping open the hard rock which contains the valuable mineral matter. The further and immediate needs are an automobile for transportation from Tucson to the mines and back, a distance of 65 miles each way—the purchase of a machine for this purpose would save the present heavy expense of hiring auto transportation to and from the mines. The third immediate need is that of adequate camp buildings for the use of those working at the mines. The speaker stated that about $2500 was needed for the machinery, of which $1300 was already in the bank. At the close of Attorney Macbeth's address Dr. H. D. Prowd of the Second Baptist Church jumped to his feet and in stirring words commended the address of Attorney Macbeth and called upon the people to subscribe to the stock of the Comobabi Mines Company. It developed, however, that the time of the Forum had been already more than spent and adjournment had to be taken immediately. It was hurriedly moved, seconded and carried that next Sunday San Diego, San-Francisco and Oakland LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, NOVEMBER 25, 1916 afternoon's meeting of the Forum be devoted to a continuation of Attorney Macbeth's address at which time the members of the Forum and others also would have an opportunity to subscribe to the stock of the Comobabi Mines Company and to express themselves otherwise upon the great problem facing the Colored citizens of Los Angeles—that of increasing the economic base of the Colored people of Los Angeles and California. The great audience which numbered people of all walks of life included Mr. Theo. Troy, vice president of the Comobabi Mines Company, Mr. J. H. Skanks, Mr. Ragland, directors of the Comobabi Mines Company; Mr. Junius Stevens, President of the Forum, presided. The Forum on account of Sunday's meeting has been the topic of discussion in all walks of life in Los Angeles during the week and the indications are that even a larger and more enthusiastic audience will be on hand at the Forum at 5 o'clock p.m. on next Sunday afternoon to participate in the discussion of this most engaging subject—the Comobabi Mines Company and its big efforts for the economic advancement of the Colored people of the West. GRAND RECEPTION TO THE NEW PASTOR OF THE A. M. E. ZION CHURCH A galaxy of members and friends of the A. M. E. Zion church, corner Pico and Paloma streets, gave a rousing welcome to their new pastor, Rev. B. C. Robeson, on Thursday evening. taken out or this hole. Mr. so discovered the Comobabi two Indian miners. One which no doubt will give to him a renewed inspiration in his new field of endeavor. The ministry and laity was well represented as was the press. Mr. Banks on behalf of the church rendered a welcome in keeping with the occasion. Dr. Prowd, president of the Ministers' Alliance: Dr. J. D. Gordon of the Baptist Ministers' Alliance: Rev. Anderson of the C. M. E. church. Father Cleghorn of the Episcopal church, all rendered unto Rev. Robeson a hearty welcome and assurance of co-operation and support. The program was interspersed with vocal and instrumental solos, also a recitation by Mrs. Banks, all of which were well received. On behalf of the press Mrs. C. A. Spear-Bass, managing editor of the California Eagle, extended the greeting of welcome of the press and pledged a hearty support of the California Eagle in his work of uplift. Attorney H. E. Macbeth welcomed the pastor on behalf of the professional men of the city and it, too, was a hearty welcome. At the conclusion of these exercises refreshments as prepared by the ladies of the church, were served, thus bringing to a fitting close this memorable occasion. COLORED WOMAN POLICE OFFICER MAKING GOOD Mrs. Morgan Robinson, the first colored woman in the entire United States to be appointed outright as police officer, has served in the Los Angeles Police Department for the past three months during which period she has made good. Mrs. Robinson is both steady and sagacious; kindly in her attitude towards the victims with which she has to deal, and very hopeful for her own people. From her early girlhood Mrs. Robinson has always identified herself with racial issues and organizations that had for their main object enterprise and race uplift. The fact that Mrs. Robinson was appointed perhaps as an experiment and that she has made good in every way, is a great victory not alone for her but for the race. U. S. VS. MEXICO The fight is on. War has been declared. Mexican generals J. W. Lewis, Fred Polk, L. G. Robinson; U. S. generals H. B. Harris, A. Taylor. The final charge will be made on the border at Scott's Chapel the last Sabbath in January. Each private will charge $5 shells. Come and see who wins the $1000 battle. CORNER STONE LAYING OF OLD FOLKS HOME GREATEST EVENT OF CHURCH Every member of the great Baptist denomination in this section and every well wisher of this excellent undertaking, the erection and perfection of an Old Folks' Home, will gather at Watts to witness the cornerstone laying Sunday afternoon at 2:30 Atty.

OLIVET BAPTIST CHURCH CELEBRATES PASTOR'S ANNIVERSARY Last Sunday afternoon, at their little church home on East First Street, the officers and members of the Mt. Olivet Baptist Church Celebrated the first years anniversary of their pastor W. R. Hutchinson. Among the visiting ministers who were present and spoke upon this occasion were Revs. J. D. Garden, Ramsey, Wilson and Edmonds pastor of Caldwell Mission. The reports from the different departments of the church were especially interesting, and showed that this little body of Christian Workers are making such church history as will be appreciated by coming generations. Within the past year Rev. Hutchinson and his followers have surpassed the most hopeful expectations of their friends. The little church has been entirely remodled with new carpet on the floor and the walls freshly painted. It was brought out in the reports that more than 600.00 dollars had been raised and the plan for a new division with the most modern church equipment was displayed. Rev. Godon, Rev. Hutchinson's Spiritual father was in one of his best oratorical moods, and paid high tribute to the young pastor, and his Waiting Congregation for the work accomplished by them. MUST GET TOGETHER The active minds of the community realize more than ever the great need of a get-together movement, hence the Negro Business League will hold a special public meeting on the first Tuesday evening in December at the Y. M. C. A., 831 S. San Pedro St. Every business man and woman is expected to be present, and help to perfect an organization for uplift. FIRST ANNUAL CONFERENCE OF THE PEOPLE'S INDEPENDENT CHURCH This conference was held on Nov. 7, 8, and 9, at the Christian Church, corner of 14th and Birch streets. The astounding reports were not only filled with intense interest because of the pleasing manner in which they were presented and received, but went to show that both pastor, officers, and members had done most effective work throughout the year, and that the church has made marvelous progress, unparalleled in modern church history. Some of the featuring reports follow: Starting with an original membership of 47, the membership at the end of the first year was 479. Through the wonderful preaching of the pastor, Dr. Greggs, and the soul stirring services, sixty souls have been converted. The church is doing great work for charity. The deacons and deaconnesses reported for the year's work. 2199 official and sick visits, 670 prayers, and given to charity in cash, $250.36. The grand total of monies raised by the church for all purposes and from all departments was $8,106.73. With all expenses paid there was a cash balance in treasury of $1,704.95. Owing to the large volume of business the conference could not complete its work in three evenings, as it was necessary to hold an extra executive session on Thursday evening. Nov. 16, for election of officers and reports from special committees. Brother Emanuel Hall, the well-known gospel singer, was granted a license to preach. Sister Mattie Boyd was officially endorsed as a missionary from this church. The appointment of Bro. M. Bain as a deacon was confirmed. The following appointments for auxiliary deaconses were also confirmed: Sisters Pearl Weir, Francis Smith, Lula S. Roberts, Sophia Smith, M. Moulton, C. Anderson, Laura Slayton, M. Thompson, K. Starks, and Emma Johnson. This conference was intensely interesting, harmonious and enthusiastic throughout every session. Rev. Greggs, the unexcelled pastor and noble leader, who has for some time astounded Los Angeles with his masterly ability and excellent service, has proved himself master of every situation, and with almost 500 earnest zealous laborers fighting for right, justice, and truth under the banner of King Emanuel, can expect nothing but victory. The Portland City Council has decided to regulate jitneys and to force them to operate on routes not covered by trolley cars. The City Attorney has been instructed to draft an ordinance placing the jitneys under regulations identical with those of the trolley corporation, exacting bonds and fixing routes away from lines of street car traffic. The jitney regulation came as the result of plain speaking on the part of business men of ING Portland, headed by C. M. Clark, at a meeting of the Business Men's Club. This is the development of affairs that Clark pictured: If jitneys are not required to operate on the same basis as the street cars the street railway system will be forced to go into the hands of a receiver. This will mean that hundreds of eastern investors will be pinched and that others who were lucky enough to escape will not readily send money to be invested in a district where it will not be protected. "I'm right here to tell you that there are hundreds of people in the east who are angry," said Mr. Clark, "mighty angry because of the lack of protection that the city governments of the Pacific Coast afford vested property interests. These men are not going to send more money out here. And unless you have reached that stage of self-completeness where you can finance all your own development, you had better be watchful." Three years ago Mr. Clark frankly stated the Portland Railway, Light & Power was in the finest financial state of all companies on the Pacific Coast. Its securities were in great demand. Now, after the jitneys have cost the company close to half a million dollars a year, the Northwestern Electric has nabbed $500,000 a year from its earnings, and the lack of anticipated development on the part of the outlying districts of the city having made the company operate many lines at a loss, the company stands close to the brink of failure. Two per cent notes amounting to $5,000,000, due next May, are now selling at a discount of 22 per cent. SAN BERNARDINO The Union Service Thanksgiving holds out the promise of being the best in the history of this city. It is to be held in the A. M. E. church, and Wm. Prince, of Pasadena, is to preach. Rev. Harris, of Redliands, is to join in the service with his choir. A number of Riverside people are looking forward to this date. The Woman's Mite Missionary Society are working hard to spread one of the best dinners on record, and if we had ye editor present while he may get a square meal and balance up the outstanding account for his paper, it would then be a swell affair. Mrs. W. T. Montgomery, who has been quite sick for the last week, is reported on the road to being with us soon. Rev. H. H. Williamson and wife, of Riverside, former pastor of the A. M. E. church, Sundayed in this city, calling upon old friends. Mrs. B. W. Ingramh has returned to the city, after a few weeks' absence on a pleasure trip. Rev. Redd made two flying trips over to Riverside on business the past week. Mrs. S. M. Carlton, who underwent an operation in Los Angeles a few weeks ago, has recovered so as to return home. The choir of the A. M. E. church is to furnish a few numbers for the Catholic bazaar this week. Mr. H. D. Ingrahm is the chorister and Mrs. F. Carroll the president. A $250,000 fire, which swept the coach, shop and Santa Fe depot, did not affect any of our people, who were forced to lay off. The New Hope Baptist church was delayed in the afternoon service, waiting for the Rev. Redd and his congregation.

Wilson, Pastor Last Sunday marked a new epoch in the history of Second Baptist church of Monrovia. Last week pews and church furniture replaced the old rickety furniture that had adorned the church so long. Sunday was a day of great rejoicing in the camp. Rev. Wilson, who is a young pastor, deserves much credit for the manner in which he has managed the affairs of the Second church. During his short pastorate here, fifteen months, Rev. Wilson has taken charge of a hull of a building that had been reared up and remained unfinished for years, and now it is finished inside and out and modernized at a cost of over $60000. When visiting Monrovia don't fail to visit the Second Baptist church where everyone is welcome. Rev. Wilson attended the Installation services of Mt. Olivet Baptist church of Los Angeles in the afternoon at 3 o'clock. Rev. N. P. Ramsey will preach for us next Lord's Day. Every one is invited to come out and hear this good preacher. 1406 Newton St. Rev. J. C. Anderson, Pastor Two nice congregations greeted the pastor at both of the services on the past Sabbath and they were well repaid for coming out to the house of the Lord. The pastor preached at the morning service on the subject of "A Good-Warfare" and the sermon was very much enjoyed by all. Next Sunday is quarterly meeting day and the pastor and officers are expecting a large attendance of the membership to greet the new presiding elder. Communion will be administered at both the morning and evening services by the elder. The ladies of Stewardess Board No. 1 entertained Monday evening at the home of Mrs. Cherry Smith on East 22nd street and the evening was very enjoyably spent by all who were present. The ladies of this board are to be commended for the great work they have done and are doing now for the cause of the Master. All departments of the church are working to make the rally on the second Sunday a success, and do some much needed work on the interior of the church and also to install the pews and an organ. The pastor and congregation will worship with the union service to be held at the Second Baptist church on Thanksgiving day. The ladies of the church will serve a dinner on Thanksgiving day at the church from noon to well into the evening and all the friends are invited to come and take dinner with them on that day. A cordial welcome awaits all who attend the services at this church. Last Sunday we had two accessions to the fold. Many were out, it being church filling day, and the spirit runs high in Zion. It has been many a day since so many strange faces were seen in that edifice. The new pastor, Rev Robeson, continues to pull the crowd. The Eagle editorially comments on his sermons. It says, "His sermons are so practical, so psychologically adopted to the needs of the congregation." He is raising the standard of the pulpit in this city, and the church going public is showing its appreciation by its interest. Service begins, promptly at 11 a. m. and 8 p. m. Dr. W. W. Matthews, the presiding elder, will speak for us on Sunday at both services. Rev. Robson will address the Y. M. C. A. at 3 p. m. subject, "The Call of the Age." Remember Sunday School. CHRISTIAN CHURCH NEWS Last Sunday at the Christian church the pastor, Brother Latouche preached two strong gospel sermons. At the evening service, Miss Bertha Miller, organist, rendered very beautifully the sweet song, "A" Clean Heart." In a few weeks, Brother Latouche expects to have his wife with him and the church will then extend a reception to both, as it was his personal desire to have it deferred till his wife came. The first Sunday in December the choir, assisted by Miss Miller and others, will render a sacred concert and are now making preparations along that line. We invite all to our services. PEOPLE'S INDEPENDENT CHURCH THANKSGIV- ING DAY Inspiring services were held at the People's Independent Church on last Sunday. The large audience listened with great interest to an eloquent anniversary sermon to the congregation by Pastor Greggs. His text was taken from the 52nd chapter of Isaiah, first verse. Awake, awake, put on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city; put on hencelorith there shall no fire be, the uncircumcised and the unclean. The conference ended with an executive session on last Thursday evening, Nov. 16, at which time the following officers were elected: For Church Clerk, George A. Beavers, Jr. for Assistant Clerk, Miss Louvenia Hickman; for Trustees, J. H. Shackleford, F. H. Crumbly, P. J. Alexander, T. J. Hooper, C. J. Smith, Mrs. N. Loving, J. M. Prentice, C. E. Anthony, and H. G. Walker; for Reading Clerk, F. H. Crumbly; for Treasurer, G. W. Whitley, and for Auditing Committee, P. E. Brown, S. H. Poole, Mesdames Gertrude Brown, Louise Jackson and Georgia Hoyt. On last Friday evenig, Nov. 17, the pastor received an agreeable surprise, when some of the members gave him a birthday shower. The inspiring conference and the rapid progress being made with the church building has caused a superabundance of inspiration and enthusiasm among the members and many friends. The corner stone laying will take place on Thanksgiving day at 2 p. m. under the auspices of the Masonic lodge, assisted by the B F. Talbert will serve dinner on the church grounds. A cordial invitation is extended to all LINCOLN MEMORIAL CONGRE GATIONAL CHURCH 34th St. and Central Ave. E. E. Lightner, Minister All the services from the Sunday school in the morning through the evening services, on last Sunday, gave forth evidences of the renewed life of the church in all its departments. It was inspiring to see the crowd of children coming in at 10 o'clock to receive religious training and instruction. The pastor occupied the pulpit at the morning service, speaking on "The Gospel of an Angel," to an appreciative audience. Prol. Charles Alexander was the speaker in the evening and brought a thoughtful and helpful message on "May God be with you." The Christian Endeavor under the leadership of Mrs. Charles Alexander, was of unusual interest. The leader gave an excellent presentation on the topic which was, "Why Christianity Is the Hope of Our Country." Many others spoke on the topic. The fellowship meeting on Monday night was a brilliant affair. The ladies of the church are to be commended upon the luscious dinner and the orderly way in which it was served in early part of the evening. After the dinner the following program was rendered. Scripture and prayer by Rev. J. D. Pettigrew; an address on "A Program of Securing Half Million Members," Rev. H. T. Wagner; "The Necessity and Methods of the Every Member Canvass." Dr. J. L.

THE METHODIST MINISTERS ORGANIZE A SEPARATE UNION The Methodist Ministers from the various churches of Los Angeles and surroundin cities in Southern California met and organized a Methodist Ministers Alliance of Southern California, About twenty-five members at present constitute the body. The meeting was held in the parlors at the A. M. E. Church last Monday morning at 10:00 a.m. A constitution and By-laws were adopted at this session and permanent officers selected Dr. W. W. S. Dyett of Pasadena, president; Rev. J. C. Anderson, vice-president; Rev. H. L. McKinney, secretary, and Rev. V. M. Cole, treasurer. Dr. J. Logan Craw was requested to read a paper on "The Program of Methodism" on the 4th of December. Rev. McKinney will address the alliance on "The Prince of Peace" next Monday morning. The public is cordially invited to be present. The outlook of the methodist Alliance is very encouraging, owing to the fact that such an organization for the mutual understanding and closer union of our Methodist brethren has been a long felt need, however, this move does not in any way lessen our interest in the general federation which meets every Tuesday at the First M.A. last analysis we are all one as Christ our Head and God our Father art One.

ON TO IMPERIAL VALLEY Although Wilson is apparently elected there is no need to hesitate, but get ready for the storm that is surely coming. The call is on for cotton pickers in the Imperial Valley—3000 strong—wages as good as $5.00 per day can be made. It is a bonfire proposition, vouchered for by the Imperial County Farming Bureau and the Southern Pacific Railroad Company, in order to get the workers there the company is making a very special rate three days of the week fare for those who desire to go. We are told by Mr. Place, representing the Farmers' Bureau, that families are there who are making $20 to $25 dollars daily. It strikes us that as many of our people that are out of work at a living wage should take advantage of this opportunity and go to the Imperial Valley. This work will last until March. There is promised no delay. Those going from here will be checked out of the office at the time they procure their transportation and will be enabled to go to work as soon as they arrive at El Centro. Quarters such as obtained in this section will be provided, as well as fuel for cooking purposes. Work is carried on every day in the week, and as we foresaid we warn our people to get busy and prepare for the storm that will be the result from four more years of Wilson in this country.

"Angels can do no more." The cotton fields of Imperial offer splendid opportunity for either the individual or family as any man should easily be capable of earning from S4 to S7 per day. Of this we are informed that it is a fact by parties who live and who are working in that section of whom we can vouch for their word. Lining up along the economic lines this opportunity should be taken advantage of by all who are so situated as to accept it. ALONG ECONOMIC LINES The agitation along economic to say the least, and any successful will do much to solve the problem race. There are so many things that the means to do with and when the we can at all times be in line to acc take for instance the recent disastro on along economic lines at this and any successful movement a to solve the problems which can so many things that we could do with and when the economic primes be in line to accomplish thine the recent disastrous campaign The agitation along economic lines at this time is timely to say the least, and any successful movement along these lines will do much to solve the problems which confront us as a race. There are so many things that we could do if we only had the means to do with and when the economic problem is solved, we can at all times be in line to accomplish things worth while. take for instance the recent disastrous campaign from a Republican standpoint. There were political strategists within the race that could easily have put into execution plans that would have resulted in the triumph of Republicanism in this state beyond peradventure; but they had nothing to do this thing with. Say what you will, the Negro is no piker at anything he attempts, he will go the limit, and if it cost something to pump enthusiasm into the people and to make them realize the dire consequence of defeat there would not have been one stay at home vote. Everyone would have been on their tiptoes and California would have been saved. As it was there was no provision for this to be done, peanut politics prevailed and the black man could not help himself or the occasion: he had nothing. If he had he would be a major campaign contributor. So it is well that for the future and especially the next four years, that we should try to progress along the economic lines, so that in the future in campaigns with great issues confronting us we may be enabled to be a real part and parcel of the same, be both contributors and managers and then we will be doing the things worth while. Who knows but that the way pointed out by the El Dorado and the Comobabi Mining Concerns are the beacon lights waiting to light our economic battle to the good of success. Let us hope—we believe it is. MUST HEW TO THE LINE. LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY The parasites that exist on their connection with the church and with the fraternal orders, are the weights upon their progress, and it is clearly up to these orders themselves to cure this condition by "Hewing to the Line and Letting the Chips Fall Where They May." It is an open secret that a man who was the treasurer of one of our leading churches in this city was run down and it was found that he had systematically embezzled from the church more than a thousand dollars. Now strenuous efforts were made by those within and without this church to the end that no general exposure would be made of this theft of the people's money. ...The Eagle believes that this is wrong and that no matter who the offender is in these affairs they should suffer the consequence of their acts. Just think! that this money represents the pennies of the innocent children, the hard earned nickels and dimes of the washerwoman and of all classes of our people and yet, we must not speak out. To our mind this is not a good example to present to our young men and women. They may well say, "It's no harm to steal. Mr. So and So is a big man in our church or our society and he stole a thousand dollars and he is STILL honored in the community and was not punished, so I should worry." The great trouble is that some of our religious and fraternal enthusiasts are simply there for what they can get out of it; they are the parasites to which we refer. The writer realizes that this article is not going to make us very popular in certain sources, but we don't want to be popular from that source and we are going to wage war eternal against the church and fraternal parasites. No more thievery will go unexposed and we are going to THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE A public speaker at the Forum a few days ago told of watching a collection and seeing for himself the petty thievery after a soul stirring sermon on honesty and the attributes there to in one of our California churches. Now the only way to stop this feeding of the parasite is to put honest men and women on guard and if perchance one of these should go wrong, you cannot spare him but expose them and let the law take its course. That is what the law is for; to regulate society. From time to time we have heard of rank cases of dishonesty in church and lodge, and from now on we are going to keep a listening ear for this practice and promise to expose such wherever found, and we are going to find out what the district attorney's and city prosecutor's office is for. Of all the thieves that exist the church and fraternal order thieves are the most dastardly and when apprehended they should be shown no quarter and we say again that our churches and lodges, if they expect to keep pace in the mighty march of progress, must "Hew to the line, let the chips fall where they may." Thursday is Thanksgiving Day and while we are not at all thankful for some things, we are thankful to the utmost that we are yet alive and for the blessings of health and the capacity for pursuit of happiness and all of the things that go with it.

Lee, Mr. Marshall, after which pressed chicken, hot biscuits, and coffee were served by the Social Committee. The young people expressed themselves as having spent the most enjoyable evening for many moons. It is the hope of the club to bring all the young people in closer contact with the Home, that they may better understand its purpose. Monday, Nov. 13th, Mrs. B. C. Offutt, ex-president, gave an interesting talk on her observations along club lines, during her visit through the Middle West, which was very enjoyable for those who were fortunate enough to be present. The Domestic Science department is offering to the women something new, every third Monday. Last Monday they were carried through the process of preparing and serving veal-bird, which was very delectable.

Monday, Nov. 27, will be a gala day at the Home. A reception will be given the Blues and will afford all the newly elected members a chance to become acquainted with the others in the organization. All members are asked to be present at 2 o'clock. Friends are cordially invited.

We desire to call your attention to the fact that E. J. Warren, who for a period of three and one-half years has been in the employment of the Fitzgerald Music Company, as piano salesman, has recently accepted a position with one of the leading wholesale firms in San Francisco, with branch houses in Los Angeles, San Diego, Seattle, Portland, Arizona and New Mexico. Mr. Warren in a recent statement said that for a number of months he has been working on a plan whereby he could serve his people and thus save them from paying to retail dealers from Fifty to One Hundred Dollars that could be kept in their homes for other domestic purposes. No retail house in Southern California offers such inducements, nor can any dealer duplicate the prices offered by the firm he represents. He has just received a shipment of three carloads that he will be pleased to show you at any time. Upright, Grand, and Player Pianos. He has recently placed beautiful pianos into the homes of the following persons, and they are commendable to the purchaser as well as the dealer. Those persons are: A. L. Joseph, East 32nd St.; H. O. Stokes, West 43rd St.; Mr. Gatliff, of 8th and Towne Church. The general manager of this concern made inquiry among some of the retail dealers of this city, asking for the recommendation of a Colored man who could successfully handle the agency among his people, as well as other races, and because of Mr. Warren's experience and integrity, his service swere secured. You owe it to the race to give him your patronage. We take pleasure in recommending him to the public. FAREWELL STAG PARTY "For he is a jolly good fellow" when good fellows get together A party of young men gave a farewell stag party to Dr. Wiley Fowler, who soon leaves for Chicago, where he is to intern in the Provident Hospital. The evening was given to song and stories and a big feed. Those who participated were J. Tisem Frederich Scott, Littleton Ashford, Ted Ellis, Dr. Wiley Fowler, and James Gorham. The Brotherhood of New Hope Baptist Church gave a social last Thursday evening at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. F. N. Miller, which was well patronized. --- a new collar for the dog, a box of flowers, a box of candy, a bottle of perfume, or some nickel cigar. But there "are" things I do want. Some of them I must have. If I get them, they will save me money. Others I should like to have, but wouldn't buy for myself. If somebody would only give them to; to me, it would be great! So will you kindly give this list your attention old friend. I Should Like— some new neckties; nobody ever has quite enough ties (50c to $3). And some SILK SHIRTS—every man likes to have a few, (5 to $10). I could use a good sweater, ($3 to $10) or a knitted scarf, ($5 to $6). A woolly auto scarf, ($1 to $5).

Church will meet with Mrs. Robert Buford, 1615 East 14th St., next Wednesday evening, at $ o'clock. All members are urged to be present. For some unaccountable reason the report is going forth that Dr. Wm. H. Browning, of 1200's Central avenue, was the dentist that pulled the tooth that was of such serious consequence to our well-known townman, N. B. Murray. In justice to Dr. Browning and all concerned, he was not the one that did this, and so far the doctor has had excellent results with all his patrons and is rendering a great service at his profession. THE NEW CADILLAC CAFE In the first-class cafe line the Cadillac, just opened at 556 Central avenue, is enjoying a splendid patronage. The management is broadganged and are conducting the same on a high plane, and no doubt will take front rank as the leading cafe on the Pacific Coast. Mr. A. Lincoln, of Imperial, Cal., was a visitor in the city this week en route to Bakersfield on business. Mr. Lincoln is a booster for Imperial Valley, and is one of the substantial citizens thereof. He says that for our people Imperial Valley offers a GREAT OPPORTUNITY, and that now is the time to strike. The attendance at the cornerstone laying of the Old Folks' Home at Watts, Sunday afternoon, promises to be very great. The management asks that everyone should be on time, as the exercises will begin promptly on time. STRAWS The Eagle sold more extra copies at 5 cents per copy this week than some of our contemporaries publish for their entire subscription list. Our article by the managing editor, on "Intolerance" has evoked great interest in picture circles, and we have been the recipient of many compliments from the same, both from our clientage and the producers of the pictures. Despite Wilson's election 43 cash subscriptions was our quota for this week. Although we printed more than 500 extra copies of our last issue we exhausted our supply. This shows that the people see merit in at least one of the class papers of this city. Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Allen, of 1575 W. 37th St., entertained Tuesday last, honoring Mrs. C. Richie. NEW CLUB ORGANIZED Mrs. M. J. Davis visited Riverside last week in the interest of the State Federation and organized a Philis Wheatley Club. The organization was perfected in the Second Baptist Church. Mrs. Davis reports a hearty response, and a hopeful future for the club at Riverside. The Tom Thumb wedding held at the People's Auditorium last Wednesday evening, and given under the auspices of Club No. 2 of the Tabernacle Baptist church, was a great success. 1 The Colored Women's Republican Club will meet Saturday evening at the Eagle office, 814 Central avenue. All members are urged to be present. A few weeks ago at the residence of Mrs Elizabeth Edwards on Newton Street, a Friday Morning Club was organized and launched with a membership roll of 20 women. Mrs Felix Waugh, of 1152 Iola St., entertained Saturday evening with a dinner and dance, honoring a few friends. The Girls' Athletic Club gave a delightful social dance. Saturday evening at Blanchard Hall. Mrs J. H. Shackelford, of East 34th St., entertained Wednesday, honoring Mrs Cornelius Richie, of Great Falls, Mont.

Ragsdale is making that fine tooth powder now. Mr. Sol. Thomas is in a sanitortium in Chicago. His friends say he is about to lose his mind. Mr. J. F. Higgins, as you remember his at the Neddles, is just the same natty fellow of old. Mr. A. F. Adams, of 1514 East 23rd St., is in the ranks now. Which ranks? Pullman's. Miss Darling E. Nesty is preparing still. So she says. There was quite a time at the Wilkins studio a few days ago. I walked into the parlor and I did not understand a word that was said. All foreigners, you know. The business houses of Central avenue are preparing for the holidays. So far the hair store is looking the best. The drug store is a gem. The billiard parlor of Fred is clean and nice, but that sign—who can understand it? A certain person worked down Central Avenue and a gent came up and said "Why. I have not seen you for a long time, where have you been?" I have looked for you high and low" Yes, my friend. I have been high and low, but never so high that you could not find me to hand me that $2. Ah, I must meet a friend. So long. In a pool room on Central Avenue there reads a sign: "Do not interfere with the plyers." Mr. John Brooks has left the hospital and is improving fast. Everybody wants a copy of the Eagle now. "Intolerance" made the paper esell. The Eagle is like the new dime, just now. So you had better subscribe for it so as to be sure and have the banner newspaper. There were sports and would-be sports down at the Santa Fe train the other day, all talking about the Tia Jaura races. When the train pulled out of town, just two small men boarded. They were noted riders, but name them. They were getting by on their nerve. If you desire to advertise now is your time, for the holidays will soon be here and you want to sell your wares.

The pastor of the Methodist church also gave a few encouraging remarks to the society and the Methodist choir rendered the music, which was accepted by all as a rare treat. Sister Harriet Marshall, president and founder of the Helping Hand Society, presented to the audience, representing from the cradle to the grave, Mother Stokes, 87 years old, and Baby Humphrey, 2 years old.

In the future you will see me onto that right wing. I told him that just love also would do on the deserts, but not San Diego. The fashion plate was out on Tuesday in her $500 dress for first time this season. Had it been her first debut she would have taken a special to the Lone S State. BETHEL CHURCH OF CHRIST Rev. C. Williams and wife, Mr. L Haywood and wife, Mr. S. Freeman and wife left San Diego, Wednesday morning to attend the executive board meeting in Los Angeles, and will remain over Sunday to attend the corner stone laying of the Old Folks' Home. Mr. and Mrs. George Jones, of East San Diego, entertained Mrs. C. E. Norwood and little daughter Dorothy at a dinner, Thursday evening, given in honor of Mrs. Norwood's 35th birthday. The table was beautifully decorated with evergreen and pink geraniums. A large and beautiful birthday cake with 35 little candles, decorated the center of the table, while everything imaginable good to eat was also on the table. The Superintendent of the Sunday School has appointed her committees on the Xmts exercises, and the little ones are busily getting ready for St. Nicholas. Mrs. L. A. Jones, of East San Diego, has been on the sick list for a few days. We wish for her a speedy recovery. Each auxiliary of the Mt. Zion Baptist church responded to the call of sending funds to help the Old Folks' Home. Receipts—The church, $5.00; Missionary Society, $5.00; Carnation Club, $2.00; Sunday School, $1.00; B. Y. P. U., $2.00. Total sent to Old Folks' Home from Mt. Zion church, $15.00. The young people of the Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. rendered a program Sunday evening, which was indeed creditable to the Mt. Zion church. The program consisted of duets, quartets, and choruses, together with select readings, papers, and recitations. Mrs. C. E. Norwood was chairman of the Program Committee. On Sunday morning, Nov. 26, Rev. Curry will praeeh at Mt. Zion church Sunday night, Rev. E. M. G. Mulholland will preach. Everyone cordially invited to attend both services. The juveniles of the city organized a club known as the Acme. They held their first meeting at the residence of Miss M. Hunter, 1927 Julian St. The second meeting was held at the residence of Miss Scott, 713 Second street. The charter members were Master Leon Robinson, Gathern Perry, Charles Logan and others. Mr. Willis Gibbs, who holds a position at the U. S. Grant hotel, would have been spirited away in his new uniform had it, not been for an Eagle reporter. He was mistaken for the commander of the Bull-dog of the Navy. When it comes to smiles Willis has that grand old smile—the smile that takes; yea, the smile that wins. The so different reception was given at the residence of Mrs. G. W. Thompson, 720 Third Street, last Monday afternoon. The guests were allowed to choose their own games. Mrs. E. Smith lives on the sun-kissed hill and now speaks very low. Mrs. A. Stevens would not pay the penalty to learn that six was seven in the whist tournament. Mr. Thompson became peeved with his partner and threw the game away, for which act he was invited to fight a duel to be caught on the Plaza de Panama. Mr. John Willis had to depart early. Miss Harris assisted Mrs. Thompson in preparing what we called the so different dinner, at which Mr. and Mrs. Laws were invited guests. The Wayfars' Club, under the management of Mr. W. E. Marshall, has become very popular. On Friday nights the ladies are entertained, and here is where Mr. Marshall has made himself popular by his jovial ways and ever-ready smiles. The Black and Tan orchestra will hold their weekly dance at Kastle Hall, where you are solicited to come and enjoy yourselves. Come early and stay late. Best of music all the time. Miss Hodge Hall met with an accident a few days ago, when she fell from a bookcase at the residence, 1629 National avenue, and broke one rib. Miss Hall is the sister of Mr. Harry Hall, who has just left the hospital and is not strong enough to work yet. Mr. an dhra. Smith, of East San Diego, spent Sunday at the Exposition, where they reported spending a pleasant day, but can you imagine this: They spent three hours in the court of Leap Year. Now, how did they do it? "One for all and all for one" is the slogan of the Pantagen, as they were turning people away last Sunday night. I heard a young man say he had not been coming to the shows often of late. At that time his girl passed with another fellow, so you see, I have missed more than the show. In the future you will see me onto that right wing. Yes, I told him that just love alone would do on the deserts, but not in San Diego. The fashion plate was out last Tuesday in her $500 dress for the first time this season. Had it not been her first debut she would have taken a special to the Lone Star State. BETHEL CHURCH OF CHRIST Sunday, Nov. 19, was a blessed day at Bethel. The Sunday School lesson was quite inspiring to all. The teachers were at their best and made the lesson very intering to their classes. The pastor brought us an inspiring message from Matt. 10:24-25 using as a subject the cost of discipleship. At 3 p. m. the Misters' Willing Workers band was in charge of the services. The Bible lesson taught by Sister S. C. Magie was very good. The Y. P. C. L. meeting at 6 p. m. was very good. Brother Logan Lewis, the faithful president, is doing a good work among the young people. The evening service at 7:30, seemed to have been a special benediction to all. The pastor brought us another helpful message from Matt. 16:26. Next Sunday the pastor will preach morning and evening. At 3 p. m., ten happy converts will be baptised.

CHURCH AND SOCIAL AC TIVITIES IN THE CROWN CITY Last Sabbath was a great day at Scott's Chapel. The services started with the early prayer service from 6 to 7. Sabbath school at 980. The 11 o'clock service was addressed by Rev. C. T. Hartzel, who with his wife and nine months babe will sail in a few days to take up his work in Africa. Quite a large audience enjoyed the Rev's talk. Pledges and actual cash amounting to more than $70 were given by the members and friends present. The speaker expressed himself as being grateful and said never had he been so cordially received and so helped financially, and asked that the church assure him of their prayers. Miss Zenobia Duncan and Lonise Beavets sang sweetly. "God Will Take Care of You." Bible Study led by sister Wilson at 6:30 was well attended and every one seemed, greatly inspired. Epworth League held its regular devotional meeting at 7:15. The evening services were given over to a memorial service. This was a very impressive service in honor of Booker T. Washington and Hon. Seth Low, both associated with Tuskegee Institute. Madam Beavers led the singing with her splendid choir, singing the favorite jubilee songs of Dr. Washington. Talks were given by Alexander Kinchen, Mrs. Katie Lee, Theo Troy, Rev. E. W. Kinchen, and Hugh Macbeth. William Moore acted as master of ceremony. Mrs. E. Monroe Beavers effectively sang "Thy Will Be Done." The recital given by Miss Marie Hilda Ford, graduate of Chicago College, at Shakespeare Club on last Friday evening was a musical treat. Miss Ford shows wonderful musical ability and should be patronized by those desiring to learn more about music. Miss Ford desires to thank those who assisted in making her recital a grand success. The other numbers on the program rendered by Mrs. Ethyle Miller Thomas, Mme. Corrine Hicks and Mr. J. T. Hill, were well rendered and greatly appreciated. Mrs. E. Monroe Beavers forgot she had a birthday November 16 until she returned home in the evening to find her daughter had planned a five-course dinner and had invited a few friends. The surprise was genuine. The Union Thanksgiving Services will be held with Scott's Chapel M. E. church this year. Rev. Hughes will preach the sermon and all members of the various choirs are invited to take part in the singing. Mrs. Jones of Altadena entertained the younger set in honor of Mrs. Stewart of Kansas, Mo., Wednesday evening at Foresters' Hall. Mrs. W. S. Pyles of Catalina avenue received in honor of her guests, Mr. and Mrs. Chatteau and Mrs. Stewart, Tuesday evening. The Ladies' Aid of Scott's Chapel met at the home of Mrs. Wm. Roberts of South Fair Oaks avenue, Thursday evening. Mme. Beavers desires all who will help her in the rendition of the Cantata, "Ruth the Moabitess," to meet with her on Monday evening at the church for rehearsal. The chorus is making great progress and she hopes to be able to stage it by the last of January. calling for all classers of workers. MISS LOUISE W1LLIAMS, Sec. Mr. and Mrs. W. O. Bunch have returned after several months' absence. Pasadenans are glad to welcome them again. Mr. and Mrs. Chatteau and daughter, Mrs. Stewart, of Kansas City, left the city Thursday. Upon returning home from his usual prayer meeting Wednesday evening, Rev. E. W. Kinchen was surprised to find the Queen Esther Circle of Wesley Chapel, Los Angeles, at his home, where they had come to present to him a handsome writing desk set as a token of their esteem. SCOTT CHAPEL NOTES Last Sunday was a red letter day in the history of Scott Chapel. Sunrise prayer meeting was a great spiritual reast. The Sunday School showed unusual interest under Professor Lee. At 11 o'clock a.m. m. Rev. C. C. Hartzler, who sails for Africa within a month, brought a message to the people of Africa's needs and of another Race's secrecy for her redemption. After the regular offering $73.00 was taken up to help Rev. Hartzler in his work. At 6:30 p. m. Sister Wilson was greeted by a large company of people anxious to study the word. At 7:45 p. m. a most impressive memorial service was conducted in honor of the memory of Dr. Booker T. Washington and the Hon. Seth Low. The addresses delivered on that occasion were a great inspiration and brought out points in the lives of these great men that will always be food for thought. The speakers were: The orator of the evening, Attorney Hugh E. Macheth, addresses delivered by Mrs. Katie Lee. Alexander Kinchen, Teo. Troy, Mrs. Barr and E. W. Kinchen. A great chorus conducted by Madam Beavers rendered the favored songs of Mr. Washington—the plantation melodies. Pastor Kinchen will occupy the pulpit at all services next Sunday. All the people are welcome. METROPOLITAN CHURCH NOTES Attendance at Sunday School last Sabbath was very good. Classes 2 and 4 strove for the honor banners. At the morning service, following the reading of the 27th Psalm by Pastor Hughes. Rev. Ward of Fort Smith, Ark., preached from the text, "Prepare ye the way of the Lord." Rev. Cutter at evening, service, basing his remarks on the 13th chapter of Revelations, preached a very interesting and beneficial sermon. Delegates have been chosen from the local missionary society to attend the quarterly meeting in Los Angeles on Nov. 24. Sister M. Edwards. M. Harts, L. Long, W. C. Williams, H. Pointer and N. F. McMicken were so chosen. FRIENDSHIP BAPTIST CHURCH All services last Sunday were held in the interests of the Old Folks' Home, which is nearing completion at Watts under the direction of the Western Baptist Association. A speciay sermon by the pastor in the morning, an afternoon service by the Missionary Society, and an entertaining program in the evening by the other auxiliaries were conducive of special collections that will aid materially in the extension of this work. Next Sunday afternoon the corner stone will be laid and the Home dedicated. This will be one of the largest meetings held by the Baptists of Southern California for some time and arrangements are being made at Watts to handle a record breaking crowd. The morning and evening services next Sabbath will be in charge of the pastor. The trustees are featuring a financial rally to take place at these services. They are desirous of raising with the help of the members and friends about $200 with which to clear up all outstanding local debts so that the new year will start out with nothing of this nature as a hindrance. A. M. E. CHURCH NOTES Services throughout the day were well attended Sunday and brought to the congregation inspiring germons from the pastor and added one to the membership of the church. The regular attendance at Sunday's services shows continuous growth which is also reflected in the increasing collections. The Ladies Aid Society was entertained last Thursday by Ms. THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE By attending the Elk's Christmas benefit at Labor Temple November 30th.

Lively, Pastor PAGE EIGHT THE GREAT OPPORTUNITY Progressive Educational Association, Rev. J. D. Gordon president, has negotiated for 107,000 acres of the best farming land in the West. Said land is located in the State of Arizona, and is known as Santa Rosa Valley. This fine farming land is set apart for an industrial colony. A town site will be located in the center of the tract, and a college erected for the training of the youth of the Race, for the varied pursuits of life. OPPORTUNITY FOR THE NEGRO IN THE WEST In the State of Mississippi and Oklahoma, where the Negro is oppressed and disfranchised of his God-given privileges and citizen rights, they have seized the opportunity of building for themselves and have made good. Why not the Negroes in the West, with the knowledge offered them, come together and make a show? Our people are making a gross mistake in flocking to the great cities of the West, where Organized Labor has the door closed against them, and their wives and daughters have to go out in service and work to pay house rent, and part of the time the men are walking the streets without work. Some of them are trying to buy homes on the installation plan, and contracting four and five thousand dollars indebtedness, and it takes all their spare money just to keep up the interest. This same person could take $440 and purchase them 80 acres of the best farming land in the West, and the first year he is on the land, it will pay for itself, and wife and daughters can remain at home. H. H. Williams The widow woman who is out in service can grow fruit and raise enough poultry to make her life happy, without such hard work. THE CLIMATE There is not another location in the United States that has more suitable climate for the colored man. It is never too hot and never too cold-average 1800 feet above sea level, no heavy frosts and no snow. The plains are green the year round, an ideal climate and a healthy country. Plenty of rain for two crops a year, the rainy seasons coming, one in the winter and the other in the summer months, July, August, and September. PRODUCTION The land will produce cotton, and corn, 50 to 75 bushels per acre; wheat, barley, oats, and other small grain, 40 to 60 bushels per acre; potatoes and beans, peas of all varieties, melons of all kinds, and all semi-tropical vegetables. FRUITS Lemons, oranges, grapes, and all kinds of nuts, and any fruit that grows in any semi-tropical climate. A smooth table land. THE SURVEY The lands will be allotted in 40, 80 and 100-acre tracts, and the cost per acre will be $5.50 for the present. TERMS 40 acres @ $5.50 = $220.00. 80 acres @ $5.50 = $440.00. 100 acres @ $5.50 = $550.00. These amounts can be paid on the installment plan if desired. When the European war comes to a close, and it is made possible for the thousands to come to this country, all thinking people are agreed that all or most of our idle territory will be taken up by the homeseekers. Having this in mind, and also seeking to provide for the Western states a school or university for the religious training of our girls and boys, we desired a location. We have searched California for a desirable place, but could not find in the State just what we wanted. We have succeeded now in laying hands upon more than 10. This land without irrigation, will produce 50 to 60 bushels of wheat to the acre, and then the same year, without irrigation, produce 50 bushels of corn per acre. 100,000 acres of the best land now idle on the North American continent. 1. There is no alkali in this land anywhere. 3. There are no rocks on this land. 4. There is no sand or sand dunes on this land. 5. Nor can you find gullies in this territory. 6. The land is so level that you would never need to level it for irrigation. 8. Cattle and hog raising. 7. This is fine soil for cotton raising. 9. You can produce two crops a year without irrigation; one you plant in December, and the other in June. 11. The wind velocity is an important matter to the western farmer, many have, to plant trees around the farm to protect the produce from high winds, but here, according to government reports, the velocity of the wind is from four to seven miles per hour. 12. This land, every foot of it, is water bearing, and you can get water from 15 to 50 feet, when you are seeking surface water. 13. The water from the artesian depth is so pure that in using the engine for four consecutive years, the boilers did not have to be cleaned out once during this time. 14. This land will produce the finest cotton possible, and 16. This is an orange producing climate and soil, but we can only know from the fact that 40 miles away oranges and lemons grow in abundance, therefore we safely conclude that lemons and oranges will grow here. 17. This land, from its productive powers, is easily worth $150 per acre. Everything that we have said about this land can be verified. Now we are putting 20,000 acres of this land on the market at such a figure that it will startle you. We do so because we have plenty land left, and what we sell at this figure will help us to sell the rest of the land for what it is worth. We have 250 certificates, called "Founders' Certificates," which members are to keep for the coming generation, as a memorial. These Certificates will cost you $440 on terms, and will entitle you to cast one vote for the "Trustees" of the School in this Province; and give you 80 acres of this matchless land; thus letting you have the land at the rate of $5.50 per acre. This door will not be open always for the ambitious men and women among us. One, fourth of all the proceeds from the sale of said land will be placed in escrow for the establishment and endowment of this University, thus avoiding the necessity of asking anyone for a donation, white or black. We hope that all Negroes who believe in and delight in the Negro's possibility, will enthusiastically join in with this religious, industrial, civil, and educational movement, that promises so much for the Race. We hope to see a great city, surrounded by a great number of prosperous farmers and cattle raisers, and artisans skilled in every department of hand-craft; and turn out from there to the world, the best articles along all lines, bearing the name and stamp of this great University; and nothing can stop the Race from going on to greatness. The Race cannot go to greatness by saying great things alone, but by our deeds shall we be promoted in this world.
