The piano is from the well-known Los Angeles house of Fitzgerald & Co., and is of superior tone and elegant finish. It will be on exhibition at the store of Stern Bros., where it will be open to inspection of the public, and on Saturday evenings of each week will be open to a pianist for a concert program, in which its superb instrumental qualities will be exhibited to those in attendance. The piano will be awarded as stated above, to the one receiving the most votes, the same to be determined by a voting contest, details of which will be made known in our next issue. With the piano it is our purpose to offer several free outing trips, including one to the Grand Canyon of the Colorado, over the Santa Fe railway; one to San Francisco, over the Southern Pacific, and probably one to Salt Lake City, over the Los Angeles, Sac-Pedro and Salt Lake railway, on completion of the road, which will be some time in December or January. All trips will be to these points and return. It is also our purpose to offer several scholarships in well-known Los Angeles business colleges, among them the Brownsberger and Woodbury colleges, which are regarded as among the foremost institutions of their kind in Southern California.

EDITOR GAZETTE—Erroneous reports have appeared in the papers of latecerning Bolsa high school, whichbeen evidently intended to misleadpublic. The facts are that, after the disvoted overwhelmingly, in July three to one against the issuance bonds for a high school building use of rooms at Bolsa for another was refused, the trustees were palled to find rooms elsewhere. The facts are on record, as an inspective Secretary Skelly's minute book of meetings plainly reveals, and they not be disputed. Adequate accommodations were fered in writing, rent free, at Loc amitos, and accepted, as the queen then was one of a temporary local.After the change had been made,Bolsa people admitted that the place of the use of the rooms formed occupied had been withdrawn for purpose of compelling the voters cast their ballots for bonds for a bunging.Now, at the eleventh hour would seem, since the high school nature has been moved over and all arrangements made for the opening school,the Bolsa people have experienced a change of heart and ray can now be had at that place—the one room in the schoolhouse and use of the church for another if need No such proposition has ever beenmitted in writing, however. The rooms in the Laurel district school building here are commodious furnishing all the accommodation quired.The location is on the road thus being accessible in the rreseason without long drives through mud. It is true the district has bought a half mile from Bolsa but w a bare sand lot may answer as a point to hold an election on a sunny scholars could hardly be expected find shelter under the trees by the side for a whole year and in weathers. The best thing for the Las B ern Pacific, and probably one to Salt Lake City, over the Los Angeles, San Pedro and Salt Lake railway, on completion of the road, which will be some time in December or January, all trips will be to these points and return. It is also our purpose to offer several scholarships in well-known Los Angeles business colleges, among them the Brownsberger and Woodbury colleges, which are regarded as among the foremost institutions of their kind in Southern California. It is aimed to have voting begin as soon as the definite announcement is made in our next issue, and to continue during October and November, closing in time to have the several awards made before Christmas. The contest will afford an excellent opportunity for our readers to procure this magnificent piano, as well as the outing trips and scholarships, absolutely free, the result depending upon the voting, which will be in charge of J. R. Ayers and Ed. A. Zeus, who will give the entire matter their personal and undivided attention. Full information regarding the contest may be procured on application at this office, where Mr. Ayers or Mr. Zeus will be glad to impart such information to all who desire it. This contest will afford our young friends an excellent opportunity of procuring a number of presents appropriate to the approaching holiday season. The Regent piano offered is an instrument of superb workmanship and finish, valued at $500. Its possession will afford an ideal adjunct to the music room, and is offered absolutely free to the successful contestant. The several outing trips are such as may be taken with peculiar advantage at the time of the close of the contest. The trip to the Grand Canyon of the Colorado, affording as it does an opportunity of visiting one of the greatest views of natural and awe-inspiring scenery in the world, is made at this time of year with less discomforts than at any other time. The outing trip to San Francisco, where so many of our readers spend several weeks with relatives and friends each winter, will also be a prize worth contesting for. The trip to Salt Lake City will be over the road now building to that city from Los Angeles, and will be upon one of the first trains sent over the route. No scholarships will be offered except in colleges of standing and repute, such as the Brownaberger and Woodbury have proved themselves to be. Any person desiring to enter the contest, or any one who has a friend they wish to enter can do so at once by applying to this office or sending their names in and all information necessary will be given. The contest is open to all. ACCIDENT TO MERRILL RICE Merrill Rice, son of J. S.
