LOWER CALIFORNIA OR- GANIZATION NO JOKE CONTRACTOR STARTS BUILDING IN THE SANTA CALAR VALLEY Famous Hills for first time echo the Noises of Hammer, and saw Wonderful Valley Bathed in Green of the New Crops. (Special correspondence by Mrs. Leona Ellis and Eugene Roberts) Santa Clara, Lower Cal., Mex., February 4.—Contractor John E. Gresser of Los Angeles, has arrived and has begun preliminary operations for the building of the ten-room two-story cottage for Mr. L. D. Losson of Racine, Wls., the notice of which building was made public several weeks ago. All the lumber of Mr. Losson's new cottage has been bought and paid for and shipped to La Puerta, Mexico, twenty-two miles from here, from which place it is being hauled by teams to Santa Clara. Excavations for the cellar of the Losson home are now being made and Contractor Gresser is busy with hammer and saw in the preliminary carpentry work. When completed Mr. Losson's home will be the finest in this sector and will no doubt be the scene of many house parties at Santa Clara. Much interest here centers around the coming of the first contingent of the Blythe delegation. These men, whoafter being refused a freight car, shipped their farming equipment out of Blythe, started across the desert to Santa Clara in wagon teams, are heroes in the eyes of the Santa Clara delegation. Their welcome when they reach Santa Clara will be the biggest event so far in the history of the Valley. No man deserves more credit than Mr. R. M. Massey, the veteran farmer of Rivera, for the splendid showing the crops are now making in this wonderful Valley. Those who have seen the Santa Clara crops and have seen the other crops of this section declare that Santa Clara Valley leads them all. The final surveys of the Santa Clara Valley have all been completed and the finished maps are to be seen at the Company's office in Los Angeles. Those desiring any of the $50.00 acreage are urged to make their purchases immediately as the next six months will see the Santa Clara acreage selling at least for $100.00 per acre. Considerable amusement is afforded here by clippings from the American newspapers expressing surprise at the good treatment accorded by the Mexican people to Jack Johnson in Mexico City. The fact is that the Mexican people and the colored people are brothers. They will always stand shoulder to shoulder in fair and square treatment to all men and will always oppose race prejudice wherever found. It is only six weeks ago that the Company started development in the Valley. The results achieved in that time are outstanding. There are five Stockton gang plows, a double disc plow, and a moulding double disc drain drill, working from sunrise to sunset. Everybody is busy. Yet it is a jolly bunch here. They go out early in the morning sling and return sometimes long after the sun is set and still they sling. THE OLDEST LARGEST AND LOS ANGELES COMING OF NOTED A REV. GEO. ALEXANDER McGUIRE, M. D.

NEW BUSINESS LAUNCHED NEW BUSINESS EFFORT LAUNCHED BY NEGROES OF THE PACIFIC COAST. History reveals the decree that only the race or Nation shall survive—who in the times of peril—finds its solution in the strength—the loyalty and determination of its people. This is indeed the true measuring rod of a race's worth. Now comes the Pacific Coast Industrial Federation launching its services and influences in the West, like the voluminous Sun that transplants its rays upon the great Rocky Mountains—halls this new endeavor to do for the people, what they cannot do for themselves. It is truly a new field of endeavor. Each month finds the fascinating climate of the great West luring hundreds of Negroes to our doors. Coming as strangers without locations or shelter and starting life that would take 20 years by experience to bring them to the point of our aggressive residence. This Federation can save them, time—money and worry. Their experience and integrity combined with their modern method of doing things makes locating in trange territories a pleasure as well as profitable. This is one line of endeavor that has always been sadly needed in the great cosmopolitan cities that lure our people on. Locating of lost ones, promoting new enterprises serving as appraisers, testing soils for farmers, acting as administrator, guardian or executor receiving consignments, locating professional and business men, acting as interpreters, placing on homes farms in business and etc. are some of the things which the Federation does, of IN THE WEST a very nominal charge indeed for services rendered. It has the highest of references and promises to become the greatest business endeavor west of the Rocky Mountains. They are located at 824 Central Av. in the heart of the business district of the Colored population of Los Angeles. POPULAR GOUPLE WEDS POPULAR GOUPLE WEDS MISS ADA SAUNDERS A CHARMING BRIDE.

Mr. William Carroll the purchaser who has purchased the 7-acre tract from 53rd to 55th St., on Long Beach Avenue, proposes not only to open first class Ball Park on the grounds but also a first class theatre.

After fourteen years as representatives of the highest class New and Second-Hand Furniture Dealers, Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Shackelford have retired from the business and will henceforth direct their line of effort in the Real Estate business at present, at 1154 E. 34th St. The Shackelfords without any doubt have been abundantly successful in the Furniture business aiming at all times to be of use to the riel fellow men in the business walks of life. No doubt the other business concerns near the corner of Eighth and Central, especially those who have enjoyed the business fellowship of these good people, are loath to see them leave at this time, but in seeing them go, can but hope that they will be as useful and successful in the Real Estate business as they were as Furniture dealers. Mr. and Mrs. Shackelford have not only been busy in the business walk of life, but also in Church, Civic and Fraternal organizations—always giving their unstinted support to every effort they believe with an aim of object for race betterment. LEBLANG'S BAND SCORES BIG HIT A goodly number of the friends and well-wishers of Prof. Le Blance Band turned out at the Y. M. C. A. on last Monday evening to be present at the First Annual Concert of the same. They were all amply repaid as the boys furnished a nifty and well appointed program for the occasion. During the intermission the editor of the Eagle spoke words of encouragement and much enthusiasm was manifest at his remarks. The people are appreciating more and more Prof. Le Blance's great work in the community. NOTABLE EVENT IN CLUBDOOM Possibly one of the most notable events in club life for California Club Women is the coming of Mary B. Talbott. Eastern women are a goodly number of years ahead of Western women in club work, but it is believed that that club women assisted generally by the Citizens are going to fight such an excellent showing that Mrs. Talbott will go away with her faith in Western club life settled—Anyway you citizens all will want to hear Mrs. Talbott while she is here. The Allensworth Club was entertained last Wednesday afternoon of the pretty home of Mrs. John Williams of 139 Rivera St. 22 guests assembled and held a very interesting meeting and program after when the meeting proceeded he began and ended.

The past Sunday was another great day at this fast growing, progressive church. The Sunday school was well attended and the lessons were very helpful to those who were in attendance.

Come where a welcome awaits you and where the old time fire is burning. PEOPLES INDEPENDENT CHURCH Rev. N. P. Ggeggs, Pastor. Congregations assembled both morning and evening to listen to our eminent speaker as he expounded the word of God. In the morning he spoke from St. Matthews 26: 36: "Then Cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane and said unto the disciple, sit ye here while I go and pray yonder." Gethsemane that hallowed spot which is so dear to the Christian soul is even now pointed out to the travelers who visit the Holy Land where many years ago the Son of man was bowed down with sorrow for the sins of the whole World. While we kneel this morning thinking of Jesus with the great burden of sins upon his shoulders and sweat of blood dripping from his brow, pleading with his Father to redeem you and me from our sins we cannot help but be thankful from the very depths of our souls. When Jesus wanted to commune with his Father after the great tolls of the day he sought this quiet spot among the Olive Trees. There alone seperated from his friends and foes in the divine stillness He talked with his Father brother and sister, have you a quiet spot, some place in the home where, when you are burdened with sorrows and cares you too, can steal away and talk to your Father? An earnest talk with Jesus makes things right. Our victories are not won when we are rejoicing in Jesus's presence, but the night before when we were in the quiet spot talking to him. In the evening the Pastor spoke from St. John 19:17: "And He bearing his Cross went forth into a place called the place of the skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha". Our Pastors masterful message from this text was genuine food to every new born Soul. How sympathetically and earnestly did he explain the crucifixion of his people and of God's love for humanity and he urged us to love each other. He then threw open the windows of his own soul and allowed his congregation to gaze upon a great sea of Divine love. Holy Communion was administeren both morning and evening. Accessions numbered three and collection amounted to $181.88. The Third Sunday in February will be observed as Educational Day. Special music by Choir both morning and evening. Music for evening will be arranged, semi-concert form. The collection will be donated to our pianist Miss Fannie Wilson to assist in her musical education. Educational Day will be observed annually and a scholarship fund will be given to a Boy or Girl to encourage them to seek a higher education. On the first Sunday in March in commeration of our Anniversary we expect to raise $1500 which will free us of all debt. Let us all do our bit toward liquidating this debt. Members on the sick list are Sisters Prutt, Williams, Anderson, Hill, Woods and Brothers Bush and Wilson SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH— 740 Maple Avenue The number out at Sunday School and the interest observed by all was most encouraging. The Lesson drew out the best in every Teacher and Scholar. The preaching and success of Philip, gave opportunity to impress upon all the duty of individual work for Christ under all circumstances. The B. Y. E. held its THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE usual meeting with much interest. The 11 o'clock service was marked with the blessing of God. Dr. Prowd spoke briefly on the Text: "Strive to enter in at the Straight Gate." He afterwards gave liberty to the brethren to express themselves it being the First Sunday, and each spoke with the true ring of the Holy Spirit. Truly the Lord was with us. At the close some souls connected themselves with the Church; and the many visitors received the most hearty welcome. At night the Lord's Supper was observed and again the Church experienced a time of refreshing from the presence of the Lord. The pastor at the close installed the new officers, and gave the hand of fellowship to many that joined the Church during the month. Much commendation is due Mr. E. T. Hubert who has been directing the Choir for the past months and who has succeeded in keeping the Choir together and doing excellent work. The pastor took occasion to compliment Mr. Hubert and also the Choir on their splendid service to the Church. LINCOLN MEMORIAL CONGREGA TIONAL CHURCH 31th Street and Central Ave. Rev. E. E. Lightnor, A. B., B. D., Splendid services were held at this Church the past Sunday. Rev. E. A. Johnson, the D. D., brought to us an inspiring message at the morning hour using as his text: "A Great Door and Effectual is Opened unto me and there are Many Adversaries," I. Cor. 16:9. Many members and friends were present and partook of the Lord's Supper which was administered at the close of the service. At the evening hour the pastor occupied the pulpit and used as his text: "Come and See," John L. 39. The Christian Endeavor Society under the presidency of Mr. Geo.

The Sunday School is doing nicely under the new Superintendent Bro. Thomas Thurman and its Officers. Among those present were Rev. Wade and Rev. C. E. Byrd of Riverside. On Sunday morning Rev. W. H. Rozier preached. Ezra 8:24; Subject: "Seeking the Right Way." There were 2 added to the church for baptism. At 3 o'clock our Missionary, Rev. Wade preached the installation sermon for the B. Y. P. U. and Missionary Society. The B. Y. P. U. of Pleasant Hill is proving a success from time to time the pastor is teaching the Articles of Faith. The Union has a nice new corps of officers and is looking forward to do a great work this year. Our enrollment is growing at each meeting. At 8 o'clock Rev. G. B. Byrd of Riverside preached from Matt. 5:4. "I am the light of the World." Rev. Byrd is quite a spiritual speaker and a young minister in the Gospel. After the sermon we had the Lord's Supper.

Last Sunday the Forum in- deed performed a praiseworthy act.in the fact that it got together and made up a neat callection to aid in the de- fense of the helpless men of the race at Elaine; if help were ev- er needed it is in this instance, iThe higher court in Arkan- sas evidently failed to think well of justi¢e rendered five of the alleged rioters at Elaine, Ark., recently. _The Supreme Court hag granted a motion for a new trial, and for a colorea defendant to gain a new trial in Arkansas, he sure must have some grounds. Circumstances are such that we had to forego our ahnounc- ed intention of attending the Lincoln League meeting which opens in Chichgo, Tuesday. This great movement however, hhas our, best: wishes and the hope that they will be able to accomplish ,the things realiy worth while for the race. The movement all along the Tine, for real, sure enough rep- resentation along all lines of effort wherein the colored peo- ple are called upon for their support is gaining by leaps ana bounds and it looks as though great things will come to pass. Be it remembered that as men and women who are stir- ring to accomplish things no- thing can be gained or put over in a spirit of revenge and hate, Your case will never get » heart ing through these channeis; therefore, envy, prejudice and hatred must be discarded if we would.rise. No man except he be narrow, cheap and_ snide can forever hold a grudge ane hope to be or accomplish any- thing working from such an angle. Forget your animos- ties, lay them on the shelf: my brother, and let's win this tight for real genuine progress along all the various lines of effort. Lieut. “Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., seems to indeed be a chip off of the old block; without equivocation or mental reserva- tion in the slightest degree ai a recent meeting to an over- flowing house he said, that he would be false to himself ana to his family tradition if ever he failed to fight for or help the colored race to help itself.

It is possibly not generally appreciated but very true. just the same that Los Angeles has produced the first matron of a jail that has ever come forth trom any metropolitan city, in ee person of Mrs. Georgia binson who is at the present timte serving in that capacity. However, be that as it may and : while we boil. over with appre- ciation for this distinguished shonor, we in common with oth- -ers.feel that Mrs. Robinson's personal attention. in around ‘and.among the young girls of -the city is of greater value than event her present status as ma- Aron of the jail.

These Texans just could not get over the proposition that Mexico stood pat on the propo- sition of real democracy and because the Mexican officials made the American proprietor come through with the goods Texas and Senator Falls wanis the U.

The following editorial men- tion from the Chicago Defend- er is of passing interest and can only be interpreted by reading between the lines: “‘Vengence is Mine, Sait the Lord.’ The report from the health department shows that 495 people died from the Flu in the Kenwood and Hyde Park districts.

God has call- pd the Ethopian of America to take ‘his place in Christ Jesus. This mes- sage alludes toythe Ethopian Nation first; second it embodies the fullill- ment of the Gentiles; third, restoring Israel. ‘The Ethgpian Nation has to rescue the Gentile Church and he has to restore Israel so the first shalj be last and the last has to be first. according to God's Word. We will notice Genesis 9:25, 26, 27, and he said: “Cursed be Canaan, a servant of servants. shall he be unto his brethren.” And he said: “Blessed be the Lord God of Shem and Canaan shall be his servant; God shall en- large Joseph and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem, and Canaan shall bo his servant.” We first go to the foundation and build from the foun- dation tp.

One of the most interesting meetings of the Negro Women's Clubs of Southern California was the Reciprocity meeting held Thursday, January 29th at "Sojourner Truth" Club House.

The meeting was called to order by the gracious president, Mrs. Lula Slaughter and after payer by the Chaplain, Mrs. Wright, the chairman of the program committee, Mrs. L. V.

This being Coleridge Taylor Day, all of the musical selections were taken from this great artist. At this point Judge Thomas addressed the meeting, he gave some splendid information and sound advice and urged us to "get off the wrecking crew and get on the construction gang." He further promised his assistance to the woman, in any way that he could be used. The women gave him a vote of thanks and appreciation. Our own Assemblyman Frederick M. Roberts was called to the front and in a few well-chosen words commanded the women and told them to never have any public min, elected by the people to come before them only as a servant of the people.

A vote of thanks was given Mr. Roberts and the women voted their unanimous endorsement of Frederick M. Roberts for Assemblyman for the 74th District in 1920.

New Hope Baptist Church Rev. G. W. Reed, Pastor. Sunday was a glorious day at New Hope. Being the first Sunday in the month each member was given a chance to express himself. An appreciative number were present and all enjoyed the fire from above. Everyone was in smiles ear-deep because our Pastor has returned from Seattle where he carried on a successful Revival with Dr. Carter. He reports having added unto the kingdom 22 souls. Surely he must have been used absolutely by the Spirit, for none could have done such if he was not used by the Holy Spirit. We are more than glad to have our leader back. Upon his return he found every department, including the spiritual atmosphere, in first class shape as he left. This is due to co-operation or the members with Rev. Ross, who brought to us each Sunday two inspiring sermons. We would like for our pastor to know that Rev. Ross in whose hands the church was left, did well the duties resting on him. Every service the pulpit was filled and the spirit ran high each Sunday. We extend to Rev. Ross our greatest appreciation for his splendid service.

Dickenson, Pastor Services at our church last Sunday were helpful, inspiring and interesting. The pastor spoke at the morning and evening service. The subject discussed in the morning was "Can a Christian be separated from Christ." This subject was thoroughly and interestingly discussed. The Holy Spirit was indeed a welcome visitor. The evening service found our hearts filled with thanksgiving and praise to God for His blessings toward us. After laboring for thirty days to raise sufficient funds to secure a suitable location for a permanent church home, five clubs came forth and laid upon the table $62.33 to begin this work. God is wonderfully at this time blessing St. James Baptist Church. A cordial welcome awaits all who attend our services. S. E. W.

LIBERTY LIFE IN 3515 INDIANA Without any obligation on in- ferment particularly relative to sec- name (Town) ... (City) ... Please mention title TENNIS CHATTER (Wm. M. Watson) If there is any lawful excuse for some of our net sharks and sharklets not being members of the Los Angeles County Tennis League we are hopelessly unaware of same. As far as we are able to find out there is no barrier of any kind to hobble the young aspirants to bigger things in the local tennis market, they being allowed to peddle their wares whever they choose, and are only, required to make sure that their stock of materials are of superior quality. Somehow or other our "tennis reps" seem to have no precipitant anxiety for mixing matters with the local pale face crops of tennis gladiators although some of the best in the game are clustered around this village. It would certainly sprinkle a lot of new pep into our game if a squad or two of our most formidable ladies and gents could be persuaded to form an alliance and make application for membership to the County organization, they are sure to be accepted and would no doubt make worthy opponents for all the other clubs in the League. The League is now composed of ten clubs: Glendale winning the 1919 championship, Sunday, Dec., 28, 1919 Their standings: Clubs Played Won Lost P.C. Glendale 81 68 13 839 Hollywood 81 57 24 703 Echo 81 51 30 629 Venice 81 18 33. 592 Tufts 81 40 41 493 Sycamore 80 25 45 437 Hollenbeck 81 35 46 432 Exposition 79 33 46 417 Sunset 78 28 50 359 Long Beach 79 6 73 075 Alpha 50 00 00 000 Omega 00 00 00 000 We have brought up the rear with the Alpha and Omega Tennis Clubs just to get a slant at a possible twelve club line-up This whole out-fit looks good to us and might as well become a reality as not, so get together ye racqueters and start something, make this the big tennis year, what do ya say. "we join the league!" According to Mr. Gerald F. Norman of Flushing, New York, chairman of the National Colored Tennis Tournament rating committee, Ballinger Kemp. Southern California champion stood in tenth place in rating the plavers of the U. S. and E. J. Peters of Santa Monica captured the 23rd place upon the role of honor. The chairman in a lengthy statement explains Kemp's illness and hard luck during the tournament last August and frankly says that had Bal been a well man, brother Frank Jones of New Rochelle would hardly have given our hero a warming up, not to mention defeating him. As we see the thing, knowing them as we do and having watched their playing for the past two years, there are but four men connected with the National game that have as good at an even break, with Kemp, and they are the first four. in the rating, and are all from Washington, D.

POLITICAL POT PIE Attorney Oscar Hudson of Berkeley, a practicing attorney of San Francisco has announced his candidacy for the Assembly from Alameda County. Hudson is a good mixer and should give a good account of himself in this contest. Frank H. Mouser is elated at the momentum which his race for Senator in the 29th District has attained; he is busy these days looking after his fences. Sheriff Johnny Cline has the best wishes of all the plain common every day people. They are with him and have an abiding faith in his honesty and integrity. One of the big higher ups was heard to make the remark in Sheriff Cline's case as follows: "Why, he will never do; look, he has appointed 3,000 Negro Deputy Sheriffs. One thing Cline is for the people without regard to race, creed or religion. Assemblyman Roberts is out and about these days with his ears to the ground and listening for the rumbling. One big pull and all together will be the sogan of the republicans at the coming election. Among the interesting social events of the past week was the birthday party of Miss Flora Williams given for her by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. John 'Williams, 139 So. Rivera St. Miss Williams was 18 years of age, about 30 guests assembled to pay her compliments. The decorations were blue, pink and white and a danity repast was served to the assembled guests.
