We are enabled now to do work on any description at Los Angeles prices, and will guarantee that all jobs will be turned off in a style not excelled by any job office south of San Francisco. S.

We have been informed by Mr. Squires, of Santiago, that a bill of cost recently presented to him contained a charge of 75 miles mileage for sheriff's service. The distance from Los Angeles to Anaheim is 27 miles and the legal papers were actually served by the deputy sheriff residing here. This is another reason why Los Angeles county should be divided. While excavating a cellar on Chas. Hills' lot on Center street at a depth of six feet from the surface an Indian mortar was unearthed. It is of grey stone, weighs about fifteen pounds and is exactly like those Indians use to pound up their maize. It was split exactly through the center, but was so neatly joined together that this was only discovered as it was lifted out of the bed where perchance it had lain for a thousand years. San Juan Capistrano is a unit for county division.

The total receipts from capital stock tax for the year ending April 1 were $1,423,518.36, as compared with $1,11,220.99 for the calendar year 1922. The staggering figure of a billion and a half dollars represents the actual value as of June 30, 1923, of the capital stock of the 6248 corporations that made returns and paid tax. Collector Goodcell's figures showed that in one year California corporations reported for taxation net incomes of $288,000,000, which was greater than the combined total turned in by the corporations of the twelve Pacific coast and far western states. In addition to gross income of $3,277,000,000, reported by California corporations having net incomes, $919,000,000 was reported by corporations having no net income, during one year. In net personal income $1,329,000,000 was returned, making a total in gross corporation and net personal income reported in a single year in California of $5,475,000,000. Sales of documentary stamps which are used on bonds, stock transfers, conveyances, etc., and which reflect active business conditions were $1,088,422 for the year. With only ten counties making up the Los Angeles district, stamp sales were within $225,000 of the sales of the San Francisco district, which is composed of 48 counties. Only New York, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and Illinois exceeded the Los Angeles district in documentary stamp sales.

THIRST QUENCHERS MUST PAY TAX Collector of Internal Revenue Goodwill has sounded a warning to 5000 persons operating soda fountains and soft drink stores and concessions, and to all others intending to engage incomes a topic of more vital concern to the average Californian, we may look for something similar here. Offering prizes to ships clearing with cargoes from oriental ports to San Francisco in record time might indeed be a good way of stimulating interest in oriental trade as well as in sea-manship and in shipbuilding. The obvious main line of our development is an oceanic one, and anything that turns the vision of our people in that direction is desirable. One is reminded of the epic race in the early nineties between the Moody and the Cinner, two American ships carrying Japanese cargoes from Yokohama to New York and Maine. This is the kind of thing that rouses the impulse of adventure into distant markets as no amount of verbal persuasion can do. ORDINANCE NO. 436.

Those that are registered for the period ending June 30, 1923, need not register again until in June, for the year ending June 30, 1924, but any person liable who is not now registered, must do so at once, in order to avoid penalties. "Persons engaged in this line of business," said Goodcell, "must not only be registered, but must pay tax on all syrups they make and use in compounding carbonated soft drinks, and also pay tax on all "still" drinks they make and sell. Failure to pay such tax incurs penalties of 25 per cent and 5 per cent, and also a specific penalty of $1000. I don't want to make a record as a collector-of penalties. I urge all taxpayers to write, phone or call at my office, where they will be shown every courtesy and given information which will enable them to pay their taxes without being subject to penalties." DOWN TO THE SEA IN SHIPS While we are talking of a merchant marine we might as well remember that the growth of such a project is not entirely a matter of material and money. Ships are symbols of man's determined quest for wider opportunity and greater vistas. They are born of the spirit of enterprise and of a common yearning for enlarged experience. For nations that have this temperament they hold an enduring fascination. Notice the eager interest all the great peoples of history, at the zenith of their powers have shown in the sea, and in those who go down to it in ships. In America, up to the present, popular interest in navigation has been mainly confined to the region of Cape Cod and the Maine coast, where many of the inhabitants follow the seas for a livelihood. In other sections of the country ships have had no very intimate place in the sentiment of the people at large. A great yacht race Notice is hereby given that at a meeting of the directors, held on the 31st day of March, 1923, an assessment of ten dollars ($10.00) per share was levied upon the capital stock of the corporation, payable on or before the 15th day of May, 1923, to Herbert Messersmith, Secretary-Treasurer, at the office of the corporation, Room 1107 Pacific Finance Building, 510 West Sixth Street, Los Angeles, California. Any stock upon which this assessment shall remain unpaid on the 1st day of June, 1923, will be delinquent and advertised for sale at public auction, and unless payment is made before, will be sold on the 18th day of June, 1923, to pay the delinquent assessment, together with costs of advertising and expenses of sale.

In America, up to the present, popular interest in navigation has been mainly confined to the region of Cape Cod and the Maine coast, where many of the inhabitants follow the seas for a livelihood. In other sections of the country ships have had no very intimate place in the sentiment of the people at large. A great yacht race excites them about as much as international squash tournament, and their interest in both ends with the final score. This is more intelligible in the inland states than on the Pacific seaboard, where surely, if anywhere, there ought to be a lively interest in ships. Yet, as far as the general public is concerned, signs of it have been few. Though the sea romances of Jack London and Peter B. Kyne are centered about San Francisco and the Pacific, they have always had a greater vogue on the Atlantic coast than here, and Jack London is more highly esteemed among the maritime nations of Europe than in his own country. Recently, however, there have been indications of a revival of American interest in seafaring. For example, the race between the Canadian and Yankee fishermen shows promise of becoming a regular institution, and has aroused a greater amount of intelligent public interest than most of the international regattas. The reason, of course, is partly the same as that which makes a competition with firearms more exciting than an archery contest. The fishermen race has an element of utility and opens up possibilities of greater significance. As the navigation of the Pacific be- ANAHEIM FEEDand FUEL CO.
