Santa Monica Citizens Fight for Annexation ESTABLISHED 1879 LEADING RACE JOURNAL THE LARGEST AND BEST PHONE MAIN 1594 VOLUME 30 Election Next Wednesday SAYS LOS ANGELES IS TO BE COME TAXLESS CITY Annexation Advocate Points to Great Asset of Producing Bonds That Los Angeles bonds in the front ranks of cities of its size in the proportion of producing bonds outstanding is shown in an analysis made by J. C. Steele of Santa Monica, who is urging annexation there. Non-producing bonds of Los Angeles, he states, amount approximately to $2,500,000, or one-half of one percent of the assessed valuation, while producing bonds amount to 7 per cent. "It is being said on the very best of authority that Los Angeles is destined to beome, through her producing bonds, practically a taxless city," the analysis declares. Mr. Steele takes up the producing bonds in detail, showing the proportion which would be met by Santa Monica in the event of annexation, in part as follows: "The outstanding aqueduct bonds for the year 1918-19, which would be the first tax levy for which we would be liable are: Water bonds, 1905, $1,012,500 and water bonds, 1907, $19,615,000, or a total of $20,628,100. Amount to be Assumed Estimating the assessed valuation of Los Angeles in 1918 to be $530,000,000 and county valuation in 1918 to be $12,000,000, you will find that our pro rata of the amount to be assumed is $468,820. Figuring the interest on this amount at 4½ per cent we find it to be $21,096,90, which necessitates a tax levy on our $12,000,000 assessed valuation of 18 cents on each $100 valuation. This has not taken into account the revenue that will be derived from the sale of equeduct water, which amounted recently to $4500 a day. Estimating the average sales per day for the entire year at $3000 we find the gross revenue to be $1,095,000, or $65,595 more than enough to pay the interest on the bonds. "From a statement of Auditor Myers we find that the taxpayers of Los Angeles this year will not be taxed at all for the power bonds, because they are at present not only paying operating and maintenance expense, but they will turn into the city treasury the sum of $700,000 this year, or $250,000 more than enough to pay the interest on the outstanding bonds. Value of Power "It has been estimated by competent engineers that a fair value of the power from the equeduct would be $25,000,000, and it is believed Los Angeles could at any time realize this sum provided the city would keep out of the sale of power. By the acquisition of cheap power Santa Monica would, with the assistance of the Merchants and Manufacturers' association, become a prosperous industrial center. Without annexation we cannot hope to secure this class of business, because no power can be produced that will complete with acqueduct power. The outstanding harbor bonds in 1918 will amount to $4,631,000 and the interest on this amount will be $208.395 or only $8395 more than the gross income. Those who are in a position to know say that the harbor is in the near future destined to be a source of great profit, besides being an enormous benefit to business, because it is making it possible for the wholesaler to sell his goods to the consumer at reduced rates. Cheap Freight Rates "Much commendation should be given Los Angeles for making it possible for the merchant to obtain cheap freight rates, and it is predicted that when peace has been declared and the Panama canal is in full operation the traffic will be enormously increased, thereby causing the harbor to vastly increase her revenue. "Can it not be said that the producing bonds we are asked to assume is destined to become the greatest investment any city could possibly make? Our pro rata of the harbor bonds would be $105,250 and the interest would be $4,725.25, or a tax rate of 4 cents." Total Saving Total Saving Saving on taxes, $56,355.88. Saving on water, $53,269.28. Saving on light, $55,096.78. Saving on gas, $49,966.61. Saving on insurance, $15,000. The grant total of taxes amounts to the enormous sum of $214,658.45, a saving to each man, woman and child in Santa Monica of $17,89 each year. The total amount of taxes raised in Santa Monica last year was about $208,000. Deduct this amount from the savings made by annexation and you will find that you have not only paid al your taxes out of the savings on taxes, water, light, gas and insurance, but you will have still saved the sum of $6658.45. Taxpayers and consumers, can you afford to pay this enormous price for the privilege of having a local government? Can you afford to stay out of Los Angeles? Will it not pay to annex? Unmeasurable Cost No one is able to estimate the The California Eagle awful cost and the menacing peril it is to this community to continue indefinitely the discharge of raw sewage in the midst of bathers. No one can measure the awful cost it is now or will be in the future to the property owners of this community. Annexation offers us the only logical solution to free our beach of sewage contamination. The Hyperion outfall of Los Angeles is the only way we can dispose of our sewage. Will it not pay us to annex? Can we afford to stay out of Los Angeles? The argument has been presented. Mr. Steele says, that Los Angeles should assume a pro rata of the Santa Monica bonded indubtness. These bonds, he says, were issued for local benefits which would in no way benefit Los Angeles. Santa Monica, he points out, is not asked to assume bonds for similar works in Los Angeles. Annexation, he declares, will insure the prosperity of Santa Monica, will mean reduced taxation, more, better and cheaper water, cheaper light, gas and power, reduction in insurance, cheaper transportation, elimination of beach contamination, advertisement of the beach by the Chamber of Commerce, assistance of the Merchants and Manufacturers' association in establishing factories, and the substantial financial backing of Los Angeles. The Los Angeles Police Department has been requested by the chief of police of Kalispell, Mont., to locate Mrs. Savannah Harris, as her son Wallace is very low at that place and wants her to communicate with him at once. UNDAUNTED THE N. A. A. C. P. EQUAL TO THE EMERGENCY AND HOLD MEETING SCHEDULED FOR INDEPENDENT CHURCH AND PERMISSION REVOKED DAY BEFORE THE MEETING Undaunted, the local association for the Advancement of Colored People, would not let a little thing like being denied one place prevent their holding their meeting at another for the purpose of hearing Senator Works and other distinguished speakers talk upon the issues confronting the people as a result of the war. So a full house heard these distinguished men at the A. M. E. Zion church, corner Pico and Paloma street on Thursday night. The Douglass Temple choir rendered the musical part of the program and we must compliment this organization for their proficiency in chorus work which they have attained. They are unexcelled. Now the audience was thoroughly appreciative one and each speaker received an ovation, thunderous applause greeted each period. The meeting was presided over by Dr. J. Sommerville and was one big affair. INTRODUCTORY REMARKS BY ATTORNEY E BURTON CERUTI Mr. Chairman and Friends: On this the 16th day of August, nineteen hundred and seventeen, being the third Thursday in the month of August, the Los Angeles Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People are met in regular quarterly session which in accordance with its By-laws is designated and intended to be a public meeting. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, as its name implies, was organized to protect and promote the interest of the Negro Race in America. It is now more than six years in existence and continuous operation, and is past its experimental stage. It is recognized as the most, if not the only efficient organization of a National character engaged in work of this special nature. It claims to be both patriotic and philanthropic. While I have stated its general purpose to advance the cause of the Negro, it pleaces no limitations on the means and measures by which this end may be accomplished save only that they be lawful and honorable. Specifically, it endeavors among other things; to: 1. Stop lynching (more than 3000 Negroes lynched in past thirty years.) 2. Restore franchise (more than three-fourths Negro population disfranchised.) 3. Prevent segregation (both person and property.) 4. Extend and equalize educational opportunity. 5. Extend and equalize industrial opportunity. To accomplish these purposes we endeavor among other means and methods, to keep or membership and the aspiring members of our race informed on all issues which concern them directly or indirectly. We encourage, and seek to stimulate in them an intelligent interest in their own affairs and the affairs of their country. This, in order that they might qualify as worthy citizens and San Diego, San Francisco and Oakland LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, AUGUST 18, 1917 enable them the better to cope with the problems which confront them. In enlightenment there is a hope; in ignorance, despair. In accordance with these plans, and as is our usual custom, we have invited to our program as our guest three distinguished men, who will present and discuss living subjects with which they are intimately conversant. Their eminent standing in their respectice communities, their records and their reputations assure us of the worthiness of their motives and are guarantees of the sincerity of their utterances. These things must command for them a respectful audience. Being ourselves, not infrequently denied the rights of petition; it does not become us to reject any petition unheard. So, whether we will approve or disapprove of the sentiments to be here by them expressed, must be left to your individual conscience and your independent judgment. ENTERTAINED AT DINNER On last Thursday, Mr. S. P. Johnson entertained at dinner in honor of Mr. J. Soreas of Oakland. The cuisine of the far famed Cadillac Cafe was keyed to its pitch and if was one of the stellar events of that hostelry, other guests were Mr. J. D. Groves and Editor L. B. Bass. JACOB Employed at Controller's Office, Saxon Designated by his friends as the most active figures in the state for the and true friend, and withal a man THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN JACOB SOREAS Employed at Controller's Office, Sacramento, Resident of Los Angeles Designated by his friends as the "Old War Horse," one of the most active figures in the state for the advancement of the race, a tried and true friend, and with a man whom the race is proud of. COTTON KING OF IMPERIAI VALLEY VISITS LOS ANGELES It will no doubt be of interest to many readers of this paper to know that we have had in our midst for the past week, R. L Armstrong, who is known the Cotton King of Imperial Valley. Mr. Armstrong not long since turned down an offer of $60,000.00 for his crop of cotton for this year. While he has been in the city purely on business he has been entertained by a host of friends who reside here, he is accompanied by Mr. Perry Moore and Joseph Brown, both of whom are associated with him in business in the Valley. Mr. Armstrong gained his sobriquet as the Cotton King from the fact that he is always alert and on the job in cotton raising, he produced in 1916 the first bale of cotton and left here Wednesday evening to pick the cotton for what undoubted be the first bale of cotton for 1917. Mr. Armstrong's great program is to be commended and is an object lesson for some of our young men who whine and cry and say they never had a chance. He owns and controls for this season, more than 2000 acres of cotton and will be in a position to furnish work for 500 people for six months, beginning Sept. 15th, and the price paid for picking cotton will be much better than ever payed in the history of cotton raising. Los Angeles Business in Charge of K.C. Venable The business aaffirs of Mr. Arm-strong on this end are in charge of Mr. K. C. Venable, who is located at 1160 E. 10th St., phone bdwy. 4925. Mr. Venable is one of our splendid young and hustling business men and has made many friends throughout the state. He is qualified and will be pleased to give any information that you may seek regarding Imperial Valley, also in reference to Mr. Armstrong's business. These gentlemen are doing the things worth while in this section. They say that in this Valley lies the chance for those who will. They are giving a practical demonstration of the possibilities thereof, and are willing to help others to succeed as they have. See Mr. Venable. ANNUAL PICNIC OF PIONEER CLUB A STELLAR EVENT Editor J. B. Bass Speaker of the Day On last Thursday the Sturdy Pioneer Citizens and their families wended their way to Sycamore Grove, which place had been designated to be the scene of the Pioneer Club's Annual Picnic for 1917. After a sumptuous repast had been served and a greteting and interesting exchange of reminiscences and etc., Mr. A. J. Jones called the assemblage to order and announced that the program for the afternoon would begin. After some remarks he introduced Mrs. V. Fingers, the president of the club who briefly told of the purpose of the organization and introduced Mrs. N. J. Warner, missionary who had just returned from Africa, who interestly spoke of her experience in that country. She called for an interest in the welfare of Africa. Editor J. B. Bass of the California Eagle, was then introduced as the speaker of the day and graphically told of the struggles of the pioneer and spoke encouragingly indeed, of the good examples the pioneers in this section had set for those who follow. The greatest of eathusiastic SOREAS acramento, Resident of Los Angeles the "Old War Horse," one of the the advancement of the race, a tried whom the race is proud of. The program was interspersed with singing by the club and President John H. McCormick to serve great credit for the notable success of this year's annual picnic. WILLIAM ROSS, PREMIER COM MEDIAN AT THE CADILLAC CAFE. AHEAD LINER The funniest man in Los Angeles, not barring the far famed Charlie Chaplin, is William Ros, premier comedian who is an entertainer at the famous Cadillac Cafe, 553 Central avenue. Ross furnishes the comedy to the work of a high class of performers and in his line he is in a class by himself, and is at all times a favorite with the crowds which nightly go to this far famed cafe to be entertained. His varied and quick changes in comedy with his quaint originality and natural ability stamp him as a high class artist and makes him a stellar attraction. He has had a rich and varied experience in show work, having performed with some of the brightest stars the race has produced, played through the country and invaded Australia and Hawaii, skipping to the Eagle man Mr. Ros, said, "a mpreparing to take a trip east, visiting New York, Chicago, and other eastern point. I shall let them all know that the Cadillac with its high grade entertainers stands second to no other like concern in the country. He praises the work and worth of his associates and says that his highest aim is to keep up the high standard of the Cadillac because the very latest and best in their line is none too good for the patrons of the place. ```markdown ``` NEW YORK DELEGATION GOES TO SEE PRESIDENT GREETED BY SECRETARY TUMULTY. (By Fred R. Moore.) "Seeing the President" is no new experience with me, for I have had the pleasure of conversing with quite a number of the nation's chief executives and uiring the Taft administration was invited to call at the White House on several occasions. But on Wednesday of last week I went through an unusual ordeal at the White House, which might be entitled "Not Seeing the President." I was a member of a delegation of Negroes from New York who called to talk with Mr Wilson personally about the murdering of innocent Negroes and to protest against the reign of mob law in many sections of the country. We carried with us a beautiful engrossed memorial with set forth that in the last thirty-one years 2,867 colored men and women have been lynched by mobs without trial and that less than a dozen persons out of the ten thousands involved have been punished for murder. Before leaving New York for Washington I openly expressed misgivings to members of the delegation about the probability of being received by Mr. Wilson, for his record during his five years as President has not been such to inspire any Negro that he had a true and sympathetic friend in the White House. There is as much difference between the respective attitudes of Grover Cleveland and Woodrow Wilson, both Democrats, on the race question as there is between chalk and cheese; but one was a Northerner of broad and generous ideas, while the other is a Southerner who, despite many years of residence in the North retains many of the obsolete and antebellum ideas of what the Negro today should do and should be. Negro Callers Not Welcome' During the Wilson Administration few Negroes have been permitted to cross the portals of the White House, and the impression exists that they are as welcome as a case of smallpox. A few colored men are accorded the rare privilege of shaking hands with Mr. Wilson, but they are regarded as "good darkies" who are called by their first name, spend most of their time telling about the good white folks back home and who are greatly "loved" for "keeping in their place." But as for Negroes of influence and culture, men who stand for something who respect themselves and demand respect in return they receive no recognition whatsoever, and their chances of getting a word with Mr. Wilson are very slim. Members of the New York delegation at leas some of them had hopes of being ushered into the august presence of the President, as word had been sent to the White House by Mr. Hudspath of New Jersey, one of the men accredited with having made Mr. Wilson politically, that the delegation was coming, and the answer had been sent back to tell them to come on, A. F. Cosey also had received word from Mr. Tumulty to tell the delegation to call at the White House at 12:00. So when the noon bells were ringing the entire delegation was escorted to the office of Mr. Tumulty, who was very cordial in his greeting as each was presented by Mr. Cosey. After the introduction Mr. Tumulty began to emphasize the many responsibilities of his chief, stating that the principal reason Mr. Wilson would be unable to see the delegation during the day was owing to the great importance of the food supply bill, which was demanding his attention. Then James W. Johnson who had been chosen as spokesman of the delegation, in a few well chosen words, presented the written appeal which asked for justice for 12,000,000 American citizens. Secretary Tumulty Sympathetic Mr. Tumulty expressed himself deeply interested in the delegation's endeavors to secure a square, deal for colored citizens, and with feeling assured those present that the President was greatly interested in the welfare of the Negro and fully appreciated his desire for proper redress for the wrongs committed against him. Extracts of letters were read by Mr. Tumulty which had been written by his chief to the Cabinet officers having control of these matters, in which the writer ordered that everything be done of put a stop to the evils com- THE PEOPLE'S FORUM FOR UPLIFT ALL MEN UP NO MAN DOWN NUMBER 27 plained of. The letters were not for publication, Mr. Tumulty so advised the press. The impression made upon the members of the committee was that the President was desirous of doing something but really did not know how to go about it since it was the Negro who was pleading for justice; that in view of the fact that the Negro was largely in the South and the South was now in control of the Government, the President did not want to appear too sympathetic toward the Negro for fear of offending his "sensitive" Southern brethren who not believe that the Negro has any rights which the South nor the white Southerner is bound to respect. The members of the delegation really wanted to see the President if only for a few minutes, and would have been as polite to him as they were to his distinguished secretary. They wanted to read to Mr. Wilson the harrowing cruelties that had been inflicted upon innocent law-biding Negroes at East St. Louis. They had no intention of telling him of the horrors of Waco or Memphis, although they might have brought to his attention his celebrated letter to the late Bishop Walters. Had the delegation been permitted to see the President it is very likely an appeal would have been made for him to come out and express himself unequivocally in favor of the Negro in his quest for liberty, the pursuit of happiness and for a real human democracy. Mr. Tumulty, however well represented the President, appearing most sympathetic and declaring: "Something must be done." Although we did not get a chance to see the President we left Washington believing that before the close of his administratoin Mr Wilson will speak out palinly to the South and other communities where lawlessness prevails, and will tell the South that it must recognize that the black man had rights and that law and order must prevail. We are led to believe that Mr. Wilson should be given a reasonable time to think. Visit Senators, Calder and Frelinghuysen From the White House the delegation visited the Senate and the House. A friendly greeting awaited us when we called on Senator William M. Calder of New York and Senator Joseph L. Frelinghuysen of New Jersey. They were also presented with memorials and after reading them pledged their hearty support, volunteering to read the appeals into the record and to urge an investigation that would bring results. As spokesman for the committee I explained to both Senator that social justice, no "social equality," was desired, and in telling of the race's progress states that the Negro in the United States was worth three billions of dollars in farm lands, homes etc., had 30,000 school teachers, 30,000 ministers of the gospel, on deposit $200,000,000 in banks controlled by white men and had 50,000 Negroes employed in the packing houses throughout the country, some being at East St. Louis. Senators Calder and Frelinghuysen admitted that the South, which is in the sadle, did not at all time treat the Negro fairly, saying that a change would sooner or later take place by advancing the proper argument and submitting facts which could not be denied. They promised to do their part in enlightening the South Senator James W. Wadsworth of, New York, who was occupied with important committee work, asked Senator Calder to represent him, sending word that he was willing to do what he could to improve conditions. Members of the delegation also called on the Socialist Congressman, Mr. Lundy who expressed great sympathy for the Negro people and promised his support. He advised the Negroes of the country to play better politics if they wanted to get better results. We did not see the President. I did not expect to. But taking everything into consideration I sincerely believe that our visit will do a lot of good, and even though Mr. Wilson did not meet us face to face and hear from our lips what we had to saw on behalf of the Negro, he will be made to see, through Secretary Tumulty, that the colored people of America are anxious to be included in the real democracy about which he talks so much. What the Churches are Doing PAGE TWO PHILLIPS CHAPEL C. M. E. CHURCH 1406 Newton St. Rev. J. C. Anderson, Pastor Two splendid congregations were present at the services on last Sunday and listened with raptattention to the sermons delivered by the pastor. The pastor preached atthe morning service on the offices of Christ, and at the evening on the message to the church at Sardis. The church is very busy preparing for the conference but this does not interfere with the charitable work of the local church. The neat sum of ten dollars was raised at the morning service for one of the families of the church that has had sickness in it for a long time. The fourth quarterly meeting for this conference will be held by presiding elder Seldon on the fourth Sunday and we are expecting a great time. The conference is rapidly approaching and the pastor is expecting that each member will pay their general funds and get their names on the bulletin as soon as possible. Friends and visitors are always welcome to the services of the church. THE PEOPLE'S INDEPENDENT CHURCH OF CHRIST 18th and Paloma Rev. N. P. Greggs Services at the People's Independent Church of Christ last Sunday were unusually inspiring both morning and evening. The pastor took his text from the 27th chapter of Matthew. Theme, "Sacrificing for Christ." This sermon was one that fitted all classes and ages of people and all present were greatly benefited. The Christian Endeavor led by Mr. Beavers was very well attended. This organization has before it a wonderful future. Through the thoughtfulness of Mrs. Narnie Tripp there has been recently organized in the church a benevolent aid society. An organization in which each person may make hay while the sun shines, that is, prepare for sickness and death while in health. Think this matter over and hand your name and 50 cents to Mrs. Lowing, Mrs. Poes or the secretary, Mrs. E Alexander. You might also attend the meeting on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday evening of each month in the barbers of the church. The Berevendent was organized with 20 members. Nothing remains in its air. Independent church. Everything grows, so hand your name in early 1 BIRCH ST. CHRISTIAN CHURCH Corner 14th and Birch Sts. Wm. Z.

E. church were up to the usual high standard last Sunday. At 11 a.m. the pastor used Matt 6:10 as a text. "The kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven." Among other things he said, "Although many of us have repeated the text over ten thousand times, how few there are who make the text personal! Our first duty after praying this prayer is to open up our individual hearts and surrender our individual wills to God. There are thousands who pray this prayer who do not consciously try to do the will of God tewnty minutes. The great objective in the church and the Christian nation is not that which our nation is blindly seeking today as lofty as that aim appears. It is not democracy, the rule of the people, that a Christian nation that knows its business seeks, but the rule of God, of righteousness and justice and purity and holiness in the world." The evening sermon on Cain and Abel was full of helpful thoughts drawn from the life of these men. This Sunday promises to be one of unusual interest. At 11 a.m. short sermon by the pastor followed by an address by Mrs. Warner, a recently re-trained missionary from Africa, special thank you offering to the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society. The subject of the evening sermon will be "Enoch." Wesley promises helpful and inspiring services to all who attend. Good, helpful, practical preaching. Excellent singing by our splendid choir. Strangers and visitors welcome. THE WESTERN BAPTIST ASSOCIATION The Western Baptist Association will convene at the Mt. Zion Baptist Church, Tuesday morning, at 9 o'clock and close Friday, August 24th. Important sessions each day and night. Owing to the high cost of food, living expenses, etc., it has been decided that each delegate pay one dollar for badge and matriculation fee to dining hall and all facilities accorded delegates. The church has made elaborate preparations to take care of delegates. Rev. Davis and congregation extends a cordial welcome to all visitors, delegates and friends. REV. T. H.

At the morning service the pastor spoke. His sermon was a farewell, not alone to the people of Pasadena, among whom he had labored for five years, but also to the itinerant ministry, after thirty years of strenuous service. In the congregation were a number of persons from former charges pastored by Rev. Dyett, as Omaha and Denver. The afternoon service was elevated to a rally, in which all the churches of the city joined in expressing appreciation of the services Rev. Dyett and family have rendered to the people of the city. Music was furnished from the choirs of the city and short addresses from pastors of the city were enjoyed. Reports of the year's work were rendered at the evening service from all departments of the church, showing a healthy financial and spiritual condition through the organization. Substantial purses were presented the pastor and wife at this service. Rev. Dyett and family left the city Monday afternoon for Berkeley, Calif., where they will reside at 3901 King Street. Next Sunday services at the church will be held as usual. A committee will supply the pulpit with interesting speakers and will rely upon the loyalty of the members of the church in keeping up the regular services. LINCOLN MEMORIAL CONGRE GATIONAL CHURCH 34th and Central Ave. E. E. Lightner, Pastor The usual good services were enjoyed at this church on last Sunday. The Sunday school which has been an encouraging feature of our work, bids fair to surpass all former records under the leadership of Brother Geo. Baker, who resumes the superintendency. All were wonderfully helped by the masterly sermon brought to us by the Rev. J. M. Cherry at the morning service on "A Personal Devil." The pastor was at his post at the evening service and spoke on "Highways in the Heart." Services for Sunday, August 19, as follows. Sunday school, 10 a.m., preaching, 11:15 a.m. and 8 p.m. by pastor Morning, "What Shall Thy Wages Be?" Evening, "The Finder Lost." Christian Endeavor, 7:00 p.m. Topic "A Definite Purpose and the Success It Wins." I Kings 9:1-9. Acordial welcome to all. Do not forget the great drama, "Not a Man in the House," Thursday evening, August 23, at 8:15 o'clock. SCOTT CHAPEL NOTES Scott Chapel had another great day last Sabbath. The sunrise prayer meeting was one of great blessing to all who attended. The Sabbath School is showing fine growth and each teacher is determined that this part of the education of the youth shall be as definite as any part of the education, one is secular and the other is eternal. At 11 a.m. Pastor Kinchen was at his best and was greatly used by the Lord in the delivery of the message. tA 8 p.m., a fine audience turned out to hear the message in song, brought by our own good Sister, Pauline Brooks Daniels. It was a service long to be remembered. The people of Scott Chapel will feel the loss of Doctor Dyette and his good family and join the good people of Pasadena in wishing them God-speed.

PREPAREDNESS LEADS TO MURDER At the inquest over the killing of Will Thomas on Redwood street last Tuesday morning the testimony showed that the defendant, Parker, went to his home on East 12th street, procured a gun, not necessarily to kill Thomas with, but to be prepared In this situation he sought out Thomas and upon knocking at the door at the residence where Thomas was, he fired two shots. One of the shots was fatal and Thomas died in a few minutes. Parker was held by the coroner's jury for first degree murder. Mrs. Hattie E.

LEADS FOR PROMOTION: Passing the highest examination by six points of all examined, Officer Littleton McDuff was, on August 7, appointed Detective Sergeant and has already been assigned to duty with Detectives Glenn and Stevens. This is complimentary, not only to the high efficiency of Detective McDuff, but also to Mayor F. T. Woodman and Police Chief John L. Butler in pursuance of the recent declaration that "politics" must go and that men in the department will rise by merit. The immediate appointment of Detective McDuff, without a long wait upon the eligible list, shows that Race officers seem in line for their share of this splendid policy. With these three detectives and Mrs. M. Robinson, who has made such a fine record as police-woman, an addition of another police-woman would greatly increase the effectiveness of the Race representatives in this branch of service. R·B STRICTLY HANDMADE 5¢ CIGAR THE BOSTON EDITOR A TRIBUTE TO WOMAN BY REV. B. C. ROBESON Pastor A. M. Zion Church. We have lifted our voices repeatedly, singing the praises of those who shoulder the rifle and rest in the trenches; we have painted beautiful pictures of the Generals who, with the words, "They shall not pass!" upon their lips, have stemmed the tide of defeat. but too little has been said about that band of loyal, unselfish, brave and courageous souls who have contributed so much to the onward march of civilization and who now are waiving high in the breeze the banner of love. Talk about sacrifice! Speak not of those who march to the tune of martial airs and jump gladly into the fray; but go into that little house by the side of the road, where dwells a woman with a mother's love in her heart. See her gaze fondly on the son of her bosom, for whom she braved the terrors of death; see her as the Country calls for its best bloom to sustain the prestige and honor of Old Glory! THEN, see her with a willing heart TAKE THE APPLE OF HER EYE and lay him upon the altar of SACRIFICE, and send him away WITH A SMILE! It is THERE that sacrifice is given its highest expression. Because I've got mixed up with with the Serpent and was led to walk away from God, it has ever been man's cry, "The woman whom Thou gavest to live with me, she gave me of the tree and I did eat." That was a regrettable incident; but passing on without further comment, I want to say if woman had not been with us since, and was not with us now, we would all be weeping and wailing and gnashing our teeth. We talk about faithfulness! Here it is. It is to her unswerving fidelity and constant loyalty that the Church of God marches on so joyfully today. Never does she betray her trust—never does she forsake the cause. She is God's best friend—and she was Christ's when, upon the earth, the disciples forsook Him and fled in that darkest hour when his soul cried out in sympathy. Man skulked away in shame. Did woman? No! But, with tear-stained eyes she remained to sympathize with her Jesus. We talk of slackers today, but they all wear trousers. Has any mother raised her arm against her Country and said, "My boy cannot go!" I have yet to hear it. It was she who gave the message on the Russerection morn that victory had been achieved, and I doubt not that when this conflict ends the voice of woman will herald the news. All praise and honor to the mh They may not snatch the lightning from the clouds, but they snatch immortal souls from the pit of hell; they may not write the copious volumes of Shakespeare, but they engrave upon the hearts of mankind the priceless flower of love which sheds its fragrance upon their lives; they may not spangle the eternal vault and discover one of the heaven's comets—but, deep down in the human heart they unearth the core, and canker of Sin and leave their memories enshrined therein. They may not wield a pen dipped in the Nomad's ink and thrill the soul of humanity, as did John Howard Payne when he wrote, "Be it ever so humble, THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE The Lee & Henry Hotel 52 neatly furnished rooms.

Washington, the Moses of his race, and Abraham Lincoln, the savior of a republic. Women, you walk the road of fiery trial, but float the banner high. We have a pernicious code of morals that allows men to do as they please, and, if you transgress, we brand you as outcasts and turn our backs upon you. But, keep on fighting, and—some day—Justice shall unsheathe her sword and bring you the victory. Your country is proud of you. CALL FOR SPEEDY GETTING TOGETHER FOR PROTEC TION Hillburn, N. Y., July 16, 1917. Fellow Comrades and All Colored Americans:— Our nation, with the rest of the so-called civilized world, is agonizing in the throes of world-wide "human wreckage." Alarming indeed, therefore, must be the condition of any particular group of American citizens that could justify them, during such awful tines, in assemblying in large numbers with their own interests chiefly in view. Any justification for the calling of such an assemblage in a group of loyal Americans, numbering fully twelve million, casts a damaging reflection on our national sense of justice and Christian practice. A Speedy eGt-together Needed. And yet, in view of unjust and unbearable conditions that continue, with increasing horror, to afflict all Colored Americans, we challenge this nation, and the world, to show why we have not just and sufficient cause for fear and general getting together at this time in bodies and in self defense. However much this may reflect on our boasted Christian Democracy, it is, nevertheless, the truth, and nothing but the truth. Therefore, by the authority vested in me as president of the National Equal Rights League, I do hereby issue this call for the tenth annual convention of said League, and also for the second National Congress of All Colored Americans to convene in September, 18, 19, 20 in Mother Zion Church, New York City. There are no words in any language than can adequately portray the increasing appalling humiliation to which we Colored Americans are being daily subjected in certain prejudiced-cursed sections of this country. Laughter in Hell and Weeping in Heaven The party in power has its iron heels on our necks. Our nation's chief executive and his associates in power, has not only done less for us, but has done more against us, than any other administration since the days of Abraham Lincoln. The ruthless disregard of our civil, social and political rights; the fiendish destruction of our hard-earned property; the shameful segregations and humiliating discriminations everywhere enforced against us; the horrible butchery of Colored men, women and children in both southern and northern states, and the sleeping apathy of the American conscience present a picture so inferrally horrible as must cause laughter in hell and weeping in heaven. The fresh, warm blood of innocent men, women and children of color, that clods the clay in East St. Louis, Ill, cries aloud to our racial leaders and to our great masses, TO GET TOGETHER ```markdown ``` Rates by Day .35, .50, .75 $1.00 Rates by Week $2.00 $2.50, $3.00 Hotel Gordon J. W. GORDON, Prop. Strictly First-class. Large Sunny Rooms, close to all stations. Free Baths to regular roomers. Running hot and cold water in all rooms. Los Angeles, Cal. Who Can Blame Us? In the face of such unspeakable horrors who can justly charge us with fear of patriotism because we are fearful to paint in the midst of international strife and to raise our shackled hands and our unheeded cry indefense of our own outraged manhood? While Whites Cling to Prejudice If White Americans during such trying times can cling with such a struggling grip to their color-phobia, should we be blamed for striking a blow for our own continued existence? When the Caucasian, while plunged into the very hell of war, and death, and national and racial decay, can find time at every turn of the road to practice his vile coolr schemes against us, it is high time that we poor, oppressed burden-bearers of the nation, should call a halt to the oppressor's rod. So heavy grows our burden, and so gauling becomes our yoke that patience on our part will soon become a crime against ourselves. Let Colored Come Together Therefore, let us come together. Let us gather from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south and with the combined wisdom and strength of the race, let us "round-about" and confront and combat the forces of evil that sorely oppress us. If the flag for which we have always fought and bled can find no way to restrain the "pouted, blood - blistered, crime - cankered" hands that continue their wicked slaughter of our wives and children, let us get together and find a way, or make a way, that will lead to freedom. If, under prevailing conditions, we cannot get together and hang together, our enemies will continue to hang us separately. Any person, white or Colored, who preaches that "this is not the proper time for the Negro to air his own grievances and to speak in his own behalf." is a dangerous ally to our vilest oppressors. Colored and white pacifists who, during the past have apologized for wrongs against us that they should have fought, constitute one of the root-causes of our present appalling condition in this country. No Time to Lay Down So far as relates to our case at this uuncture in American history, a Negro pacifist ought to be an impossible, and, a pacifist of any other race claiming to be our friend, deserves to be branded as our foe, in sheep's clothing. One Great. United Move All organizations—churches, lodges, business and fraternal societies—States, are cordially invited and earnestly urged to send one or more delegates to represent them in this, the tenth annual convention of the National Equal Rights League, and the Second National Congress of All Colored Americans. Without regard to creed, sect, sex or party, let us come together, and compel public attention to our demand for "a square deal" as citizens of this great republic Let the entire Colored American population, in all sections of this grea country, be strongly represented at this great Race Congress. Yours for one, great, united move for freedom. BYRON GUNNER, President of the National Equal Rights League.

The Los Angeles Chamber is making a survey of the potato crop in this section and will appreciate reports from surrounding growers, dealers and others having knowledge of conditions. It is hoped that the survey will reveal that Southern California will have potatoes for shipment next winter instead of having to buy elsewhere. The large early crop lost much of its value because these tubers will not stand long shipment nor will they hold up in storage.

But it seems as though this will not be, and it is another stinging blow dealt to a struggling race by the Administration. However, we are becoming so caloused to these things under the same, that the sting is always looked for and loses its shock as the force is expected. THE LABOR SITUATION. That the labor proposition will soon reach an acute stage question, and there will be many opportunities to labor and for the same, under the most favorable housing conditions, sponsible parties is also true; but under the present condition get more bunk about different propositions than is our ties, passing as representatives of prospective employees take up our time going over the labor situations, go away or promises. You never hear from them again. Some come in advertisement and pay for it, request the men to call a We never hear from these labor agents again. Many call Some times as many as thirty or forty men inquire as to what can we tell them? So, we have made up our minds a man coming into the office representing employers on the labor, must thoroughly convince us that he has something he will not be permitted to be fuddle the issue, or that such condition shall obtain as at present. So far, the only labor presented to us has been one by W. H. Saunders, who has a proving every representation he made, and those who war the beet fields he can place. So, in a way, we are forced to the attack made on these proselyting labor solicitors at The Sunday; that the same is justified, although, at the time think so. Watch the Eagle. We shall endeavor to keep the people the meantime—Beware! Be sure you are right before a golden promises of white labor solicitors. That the labor proposition will soon reach an acute stage, there is no question, and there will be many opportunities to labor and be well paid for the same, under the most favorable housing conditions and for responsible parties is also true; but under the present conditions we can get more bunk about different propositions than is our due. Parties, passing as representatives of prospective employers, come in, take up our time going over the labor situations, go away with glowing promises. You never hear from them again. Some come in, leave their advertisement and pay for it, request the men to call at their office. We never hear from these labor agents again. Many call in here daily. Some times as many as thirty or forty men inquire as to this work. But what can we tell them? So, we have made up our minds that the next man coming into the office representing employers on the market for labor, must thoroughly convince us that he has something tangible or he will not be permitted to befuddle the issue, or that such a chaotic condition shall obtain as at present. So far, the only labor proposition presented to us has been one by W. H. Saunders, who has proved and is proving every representation he made, and those who want to work in the beet fields he can place. So, in a way, we are forced to agree with the attack made on these proselytizing labor solicitors at The Forum last Sunday; that the same is justified, although, at the time, we did not think so. Watch the Eagle. We shall endeavor to keep the people posted. In the meantime—Beware! Be sure you are right before accepting the golden promises of white labor solicitors.

We are very much pleased at the attitude of our people at Santa Monica and that they are standing like a stone wall for the things that mean so much to the great masses of our citizenship. It is well known that we fall short in our aims when our forces are scattered and therefore in the building of a mighty city we are doing our bit when we stand for a concentration of all of the forces which go to make this possible. Do your full duty and on next Wednesday go to the polls and get your friends to go and vote for annexation. It means much for the future. Did you ever note the weasly small and insipid man who by chance is elevated to a high place?

Y. August 18 I wonder if Abe Lincoln can look down from where he is And see the things that happen in this land that once was his? I wonder if his heart aches; if the tears bedim his eyes; If Heaven is not quite perfect for him beyond the skies? He must recall the message he gave us, long ago, When he said, "God made men equal," then helped to prove them so. But are they equal? Are they free? And what is freedom, pray, When some men's souls are scarce their own in this fair land today? So I wonder if Abe Lincoln wouldn't like to just step down To earth and count as nothing the loss of golden crown, Just to show an erring people what he meant when once he said, "Equality for each one," be he black or white or red. Yes, his heart must ache, and grieving must fill his soul to see How they've abused his message since the days of '63. But patience, men—truth, crushed to earth, will surely rise again, And never anything worth while was won, except through pain. There's Someone who is watching; there's Someone taking toll; And every unjust deed will reap, some day, a white man's soul. Abe Lineoln will yet see his words respected and fulfilled— Will find the cruel slander against the dark race stilled. Then, perhaps, we'll boast a country that is brave and truly free, That upholds its own dear honor and its vaunted liberty; Then our E Pluribus Unum will be more than empty phrase, And our treatment of the dark race won't besmirth the flag we raise.

That many have already left the South, and as many more will have come in the next six months. Just such incidents as related by Mr. Howze are a reason why life is intolerable for colored people in these states that have lynched the liberty guarantees of the Constitution, and now, so freely and unrestrained, lynch colored people as a daily time. The re-election of President Wilson has caused the "South in the saddle" oligarchy to feel that they have the nation by the tail and a down hill pull; while a go as far as you like with a "damn a negro anyhow" sentiment is enthroned. Sooner or later this thing is going to cause this whole country to hang its head in shame. I forewarn the North that unless public sympathy is quickly aroused against this mob law menace, this spirit of mob government and politic-1 thugism, there is something so shameful ahead coming of this increased and increasing inhumanity as will bring regret and remorse to all the people of the entire country.

To the Editor of The Sun—Sir I cannot refrain from making public a letter I have just received from Birmingham, Ala., from a reputable colored man, who was for years a member of the National Board of Negro Odd Fellows and is therefore widely known by colored people as one of the prudent, cautious and conservative men of the colored race. The letter is as follows: 1606 Second Avenue, Birmingham, Ala., July 30, 1917. Hon. Joseph C. Manning, 214 W Dear Mr. Manning: There is not a man living who knows the whole situation of alarming conditions that exist among my people in the South. Only a few days ago two young Negroes, who left Lowndes county the latter part of last year because they could not make a living (and against the will of the white man for whom they had been working all their lives for nothing), hearing that their old father was dying, went back to see the last of him. Simply because they would not agree to stay, the white man, as usual, began to cuff and kick them around. When they attempted to defend themselves, and having made their way to Montgomery, they were arrested as they started to board the train for Birmingham, where they had work. Carried back, on the way a mob, as usual, overpowered the Sheriff and hanged them both to the first tree they came to, simply because they would not stay and work on the farm, where they could not even get enough to eat.

Mrs. Jerome Collins of Dixaland is visiting her sister-in-law, Mrs. Jarod Freeman of M street. An organization known as "The Fathers' Chamber," was launched last Thursday night at the A. M. E. Church. The writer has not yet heard the names of the officers. The Mt. Zion Baptist Church is becoming the center of attraction for visitors. The program rendered at the Baptist Church Sunday by the young people was grand. The paper on "True Religion" by Mrs. A. W. Williams was excellent. The instrumental solo by Miss O. T. Taylor of Imperial Valley was interested, and the paper by Miss Vellma Williams, "Questions of the Hour," was also full of interest. The Sunshine Band furnished the music. Rev. Guy, pastor of the A. M. E. Church, is attending the annual conference this week in Oakland. Rev. and Mrs. C. Williams will attend the Association at Los Angeles, as also will Mrs. S. Freeman and Mrs. M. A. Hayden Mrs. E. Whitfield of Washington, D. C., was in our city in the interest of the National Training School for Girls in that city. We are are always glad to see Sister E. Whitfield, because we know she has a burning message for the race. A DEFINITE PURPOSE. "One thing I do," said Paul. So near is grandeur to his dust, So near is grandeur to man, When duty whispers low, "Thou must, The youth replies, 'I can.'" One of the great hindrances to the progress and advancement of this our race is that we had no definite purpose in life. The majority of the young men and young women of our race have no object in view. The question was asked in our young people's meeting, "What does it take to constitute a man?" The answers were, "Good clothes," "Money," and another said, "A good name." So we are left to judge which of these are essential to manhood. If either, which is your aim? Reader, the Government is calling for young men and women who have made choice and have reached the height of their ambition and stand ready to answer the call. Let every young man respond to the call: "Here am I! Send me!" The services at Mt. Zion were well attended all day. The B. Y. P. U. at 6.30, with its subject, "Gossip and Scandal," was made interesting by those who discussed it. At 8.15 Mrs. Whitfield took the stand and delivered a burning lecture on the things that keep us down as a race and the things that will lift us up. After her talk they gave her $15.15 and 60c for tracts. The total collection for Mt. Zion was $25.95. Rev. Guy made his report for the year, the total amount for that period being $998.50, and made a nice payment on their church debt. The First street Baptist Church gave Mrs. Whitfield $10. The Germans are still feeding the fish with human flesh and destroying lives in London. Have you found a cool place for the summer? If not, come to San Diego, and don't forget Mt. Zion Church. Mrs. C. Williams entertained Mrs. Jackson and daughter, Mrs. Black and grand-daughter, Mies Ruth Genett and Mrs. C. M. McCane at dinner Monday at the Parsonage. They are contemplating a return to the Valley Saturday. Mr. Curain is still selling hominy. It is a cheap dish. See him Mrs. V. T. Goodwin celebrated her 33rd birthday a few days ago with a few friends. Many presents were received. J. Gibson Bray was in town last week looking the picture of health. Where have you been, old boy? Can anyone tell why the young girls do not stay in church Sunday nights. Mr. Preacher, tell me the secret. "Ten things the Negro must do for himself," by Miss Nannie K. Burroughs of Washington, D. C. 1. He must get right with God. 2. He must be honest and truthful. 3. He must keep clean. 4. He must keep the yards clean back and front. 5. He must keep the home clean. 6. He must stop hanging over the gate and out the windows. 7. He must behave better on the streets. 8. Must make the word "Negro" a synonym for honesty, cleanliness, intelligence, industry and righteousness; by doing with our might what our hands find to do. 9. He must be loyal and helpful to his race. He must respect his women, educate his children and stay out of saloons and dives; vote for men who are opposed to saloons, and work for a true democracy. Mrs. Langley's house was slightly damaged by fire recently. The Carnation club held its regular monthly meeting Tuesday at 8 30 p. m. The club is taking on new life and the membership increasing.

The Woman's Federation, which held its session in Bakersfield last week, presented Miss Gladys R Harris of this city with its annual scholarship. Miss Harris graduated from the Pasadena High School in Class 1914. After retiring one year she entered the University of Southern California and will graduate next year.

STICK TOGETHER If a man has one per cent of Negro blood He's a Negro just the same. The white man is the cause of it And so we'en not to blame. We are a powerful strong race, At that rate you all can see, And could absorb the white race. At some time we'll try—maybe. So since we'er here we're going to stay And receive our ovation. If you look this up in history, I think it will prove to you. The white race came against protest, In the year 1492. The Old Time folks one had a song Which many of us have heard. "!Take the world—But give me Jesus." The white man took him at the word. But we no more remain the same, Want reglion and also land. And to demand our rights for this Be ready to fight any man. Now didn't we go into slavery. Without the slightest knowledge? Come out American citizens, They have to acknowledge. You'll never find our equal In any other lands. Went in without a language. Came out with ballot in hand. Everything has been proven, That the Negro Race is to be, For look at our splendid progress. Since we have been set free. Another good thing slavery did for us. Gave us the habit of work. So all continue to be men. And do not try to shirk. And while we make our money. Lay a dollar on the shelf. For it represents or day's Independence for yourself. The time is here when Christian friends, Will have to help us too. God told us if we take one step. That he would then take two.

Colored Trade THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE JOHNSON LET WILLARD WHIP HIM, SAYS "TAD." The article published in last Saturday's issue of the New York Evening Journal by "Tad" that Johnson permitted Willard to become heavyweight champion by agreeing to put up a fake fight has created great excitement in pugilistic circles, and many are reminded of the charges made by Sam McVea and others at the ring-side with Johnson at Havana that the fight was not "on the level." READ! Something Everyone Know. Something Everyone In order to spend a get value received for the one it to—in a measure—with their purchase and of the purchase and to ward; they should, as sible, acquaint them Following is the article published in the Evening Journal under the caption, "Willard Champ Because Johnson Flopped," "Jess Willard is heavyweight champion of the world today because Jack Johnson kept true to his word and went through with a flop," said a New York sporting man yesterday. "I was close to Johnson and also to the other people in that Havana hippodrome," added the man from Gotham, "and know what I am talking about. The way the sporting writers felt for it was really funny. You know Johnson was not a bit tired in that 26th round. One of his seconds asked him how he felt, and Jack looked up with a smile and said. 'How do I look?' "Don't you remember that Sam McVey, one of Jack's seconds, let out a squawk after the fight had been declared a fake? He was suspicious, bnt was certain of the facts. He knew that Jack wasn't hitting as he should. He knew that the big, lumbering Willard couldn't touch the clever Johnson with a handful of bird shot unless Jack let him. "Do you remember the stories of the finish of that battle? Do you you know that they said that Jack came to his corner in the 25th round and, feeling weak, asked Jack Curley to find his wife and tell her to go out? Well, Jack Curley saw her and walking to Johnson pointed her out. She left immediately, and a minute later Johnson was counted out! "Do you know what the wife gag was? That was just the office where she got the cough. They were wrangling over Johnson's bit all during that fight, and he was just stalling until she got what he agreed to flop for, and as soon as he got the wire that she was paid OUT WENT LITTLE ARTA. "When the fight was over I was standing near some of the big guns who were in the thing, and I heard one of them say, 'Well, you can knock Johnson all you like, but Johnson was a business man He would listen to reason. Jim Cofforth the 'Frisco promoter, said Johnson was the smartest fighter he ever did business with. "Johnson was in many fake battles he had to make in order to matches. There is many a fake pulled off in New York that the boys think is up and up. Why, half the fights pulled off nowadays are agreements. They agree to go ten rounds and knock one another out. "There was one of those things in New York not three weeks ago and it looked just as real as a grudge fight. NEEDED THE MONEY. Johnson couldn't enter America he was barred in France and England, so where was he to get any money? He was offered a fat roll to do the 'Ostermoor act' with Willard, and accepted it. "It will all come out. Watch and see. I don't believe that poor, simple Willard was in on it. That wouldn't do. He's a bad enough fighter as it is. He couldn't pull in a fight if he tried to. It's only a good fighter who knows how to fake. "I see that some of Willard's managers are suing him for breaking a contract with them. They might know. If they lose this suit and get no kush there might be some news for the world about Big Jess, the Cow扑cher Wonder." The best Negro journal west of the Rockies is the California Eagle. Something Everyone Should Know. Something Everyone Should Do In order to spend a dollar and get value received for same, it is necessary for the one who spends it to—in a measure—be familiar with their purchase and the value of the purchase and to reap full reward; they should, as far as possible, acquaint themselves as to where the dollar is going and what moral and reciprocal returns they will get. If a man spends $1 for whiskey and drinks all the whiskey at once, he is liable to get drunk, go to jail and, without a doubt, be worse off than if he never had a dollar; but, if he spends it for food and clothing for himself or family, and spends it where it will be appreciated and turned into more food and clothing, he is not only helping himself, but is helping all concerned. If you use an advertisement in this paper and it is honest and bonafide and you patronize the firm advertising same, you are not only helping yourself, but you are helping the editor and every reader of this paper, thus helping a good local cause and making your dollar do a twofold purpose. This is one of the rearons why the Ozonized Ox Marrow Company believes in advertising. When you buy one of their combs or a bottle of their pomade, you are buying an article that is guaranteed as advertised—an article out of which you will get your money's worth, and from a firm that has been helping the race for nearly 60 years. Look elsewhere in this paper for the ads of the Ozonoized Ox Marrow Company—read what the say Send for one of their catalogs, and when buying hair pomade or hair straightening combs see that you get those manufactured by the Ozonized Ox Marrow Company and tell the company that you saw their ads in this paper, thus making your dollar do a dollar's worth. TABERNACLE BAPTIST CHURCH The Tabernacle Baptist church gave a reception last Monday evening in honor of Rev. C. P. Jones, the great Evangelist, and the New Members of the Church. A color scheme of green and white was most beautifully carried out. The pulpit was converted into a garden of palms and large ferns. In the center of the church where a large table was and maiden hair fern, while flowers and holly shaded lights made a pretty setting for the twenty six guest who were seated around the table. After a short program dainty refreshments consisting of chicken salad, ice cream, cake and candy were served. Mr. M. B. Davis and Mrs. B. Settles deserve much credit for the success of the affair.

This is an opportunity so unique and so remarkable in its profit-earning possibilities that it should awaken the interest of every person whose attention this announcement comes.

Said fields produced more than 10,000,000 barrels of oil in 1914-15, and more than 50 gushers, from 1,000 to 10,000 barrels came in during that time. Single lots in the fields near by have been sold for $1,000 to $15,000. Our investor will have the same chance, after we have brought in one or two wells to sell their land for just as much or more.
