This is the valuable property of Caryl, situated in Denver, which has been mortgaged for $12,000 to secure those who invest the first $12,000 In the scheme. But the secured Investors must put In at least $100 before they can get action oh that mortgage. The $10 fellows get ten lectures for their money as a part of a ripening" process preparatory to seeing visions and dreaming dreams.

The more you invest the more you are secured and the more advantages you have when the city is built. If you invest $10 you have to live on the outskirts of the city until you get more money in the treasury, and for every degree that you advance the closer you get to the inner circle. IDEAL WAGE SCHEDULE. In the "Vril" cities an investor gets $2 a day for six hours work. He Is called a Recru.lt.

It was given nearly twenty centuries ago, to discover the manger-cradled babe who was sent to lead the way to the habitation prepared for the elect "a house not "made with hands, eternal In the heavens," and where, we are as- coat, and tin tenderfoot's eyes bulged ou; at tr.e Kgiit cftwo big guns hung generally over his anatomy. "That's all right," said the tenderfoot, genially waving his (hand. "I I Oon't want to see your star. I fcelieve you. Yey, slree." "Doc" gazed at him pensively, and with a furtive look around, motioned 'or him arojnd the other end of the car.

There out of sight of the women he landed it ever. The tenderfoo' gazed starward and handed back the black bottle with a gasp. "Isn't tent that pretty strong?" he usked. in gentle repioaeh. "Pretty strong tor an easterner all right, out here," aitt "Doc" briefly.

"Do vou know how we test whiskf out here? Well, 111 tell you, mister. We Inject three drop3 of that Into a jackrabblt rnd If he can't step In and lick a iifty-pound bull dog, the whisky ain't no gocd," And "Doc's" pensive gaxe moved siadly over the prairie. The women saw the men begin melting away until there were bit a few left around the cars. Carrizozo was gathering them under It's one roof. There in the back room by the sound of the babbling Wurstburger.

there started a poker tame that will be talked of in Carrizozo until the desert grows green as an alfalfa field. It was the East against the West, and each for the honor of his land. Carrizozo doesn't own any banks, but Carrizozo Is dead game, and the only limit was the loof. When the engine finally gave a warning toot and the game regretfully broke up there were a few cowrpuneh-ers who will have to soak their spurs and turn their old shirttails Inside out for another six months; but there were also a few tenderfeet who have dis- carded personal decorations since arriving, and a bunch more who visited the telegraph office before any other point in Los Angeles. Jusl before the train pulled out there was a target shooting with pistol and rifle, and, strange to say, the cow.

punchers were skinned to death by the Cfllcago tditor. Even wasn't one, two, three. WHAT was, two days ago, a fly Bpeck on the map, a large stationary thirst and a bung-starter, has been immortalized by a buneih of tenderfeet and a Chicago editor who arrived on the S. P. Overland yesterday.

Engineers will whistle rag time for Carriozozo; "polite and gentlemanly" Pullman porters will refrain from bullying you into stuffy beds until Caarizozo shall have been pasaed.

They will double the stick In the lemonade and raise the limit when they come to Carrizozo. Behold Carrizozo, New Mexico! A train was never known to stop at Carrizozo before. The trouble was that the buffet-car attendant lost a Scotch highball and they all stopped to see where It had rolled to. This may not be fcliktly accurate, but anyhow, the tra.u stopped and waited for hours. The only thing there is in Carrizozo is a lager beer spring around which has been built a beery.

The cowpunchers are in the habit of keeping pretty close tab on Carrizozo, and soon they began gathering, from far and wide. They came cantering from all directions over the desert. It had t(en a good while since they had seen tenderfoot and white collars, and certainly this Chicago editor was a new one on them all. They got tugi'ther. There was om Utile meek chap there with a hare lip and no particular excuse for living.

They called him "Doc." One of the tenderfeet looked disapprovingly at the thirst shop planted there In the middle of the desert, and he asked "Doc:" "Isn't there marshal or anybody to keep law here?" "Yep; guess go," said "Doc." meekly. ure Is he?" demanded the tenderfoot. For answer "Doc" slowly opened his "Winter Furs. Among the newer styles the broad, flat effects are prominently featured.

CARYL, CUSTODIAN OF THE SECRET, MRS. It W. BOWEN, CHIEF PROMOTER, LOS ANGELES DISTRICT, CCCllian Recital Wil1 b0 Krven on Friday this week Thurs-" 1 day being Thanksgiving. Program. WATER, water, everywhere, nor any drop to drink, is about the offoii-a filar prevails In a lurge slice of the ca-.

huenga school district. The city of Los Angeles has lnfor- mally notified the people living In that district that the water supply heretofore furnished by the city will be Bhut oft December 31. The West Side Water Company has been approached, but will not furniih water to the district. As an alternative the Inhabitants will have to get up at eerie dawn and i the sweet dew off the flowers. Either that or cut out the thirst habit and take sun baths.

I There Is some doubt as to whether the city actually has the legal right to stop supplying this district water now, after It has been doing so for some time. If the annexation plan does not go through it may end In another big lawsuit. The first steps toward securing annexation were taken last night at a public meeting held In the Cahuenga schoolhouse on Vermont avenue. The room was crowded with interested citizens, and even the aisles were packed during the whole meeting. There was much enthusiasm for annexation, the only quandary being as to Just how much territory should be taken in.

The meeting was presided over by J. J. Jones, and N. B. Walker was the Kondo Caprleciqso op.

I69S Spring free bookds- InsuiutioQ and treatment, Los Angeles's General Delivery Exceeds New York's. Appropriation Recommended for Enlarged Postoffice. Ten Thousand Dollars Suggested Through Senafoz Bard. 'Double Rent. Does this look as if the foundation of a new Federal building is about to be laid? A personal letter has Just teen received here by Motley H.

Flint, Assistant Superintendent of the Salary and Allowance Division of the Postof- ftee Department. from Senator' Bard In Washington, Informing him that the Secretary of the Treasury lias recommended to Congress that $10,000 be Inserted In the Urgency peflciency Bill for repairs on and enlargement of the quarters occupied at present by Federal offices in Los Angeles. The items of this proposed appropriation are almost monopolized by the local postofflee, the business of which has expanded at such a remarkable rate that It now occupies more tnan twice the floor space It did at the time of Its removal from the old building -on Main street, March, 1501. At the time of the removal, the Lcs Angeles postofflee was doing a business aggregating $224,000 a year. According to the record up to September 30, last, It is doing an annual business Of $471,000.

This month has already proved the greatest November In the history of the office. The working force Is all but overcome by the Incoming malls. Some of this Is due to the colonist rates which have prevailed on the railroads, flooding the southern portion of the State with early winter visitors. But the regular winter Influx of tourists has begun, also, and holiday mailing Is already being done In large quantity, so that life at Spring and Eighth streets is getting more strenuous every day. This month the general delivery department of the Los Angeles postof- flee has become the largest In the United States.

More mail per day is handled In the general delivery department of the local office than passes through the 'same departments of the New York or Chicago offices. There are six general delivery windows in the Los Angeles office, while San Francisco has three windows. A novelty In the line of mail handling Is soon to be Installed in the local office. It will be an automatic carrier system, operated on the system of package carriers from clerk to cashier In large dry goods stores. Intended entirely for facilitating the quick "handling of special delivery letters.

It will run from the city delivery department to a newly-Installed special delivery department, and every letter bearing the special stamp will be whisked off to the latter department In the automatic carriers for immediate delivery to Its destination. Two hundred and forty additional rentable mall boxes are to be Installed. The largest style mall pouch rack made has been net up in the new room lately occupied by the city distributing department. It Is a semi-circular affair that holds 124 pouches open-mouthed, into which the busy distributors cast the different classes of mail with lightning quickness and precision. The two apartments now occupied by stores, along the Spring street front of the new building recently occupied In the major portion by the city delivery department, ere to be taken over by the postofflee; for the spacious room In the rear, measuring 40x110.

Is already becoming crowded. This will add a space 40x60 feet. A new department has been opened for the handling of "dead" mad. There the unclaimed pieces of mail, those Improperly addressed, and those lacking sufficient postage, are relegated, and advertisements of the failure to "connect" prepared for public display. An average of 2000 unclaimed pieces of mall are handled there each week.

A room has Just been finished off for the exclusive use of carriers, in which eavrh has a separate locker for his belongings.

A committee composed of John Mitchell, J. L. Plummer and L. A. Newman was selected to confer with the Water Board and for an extension of time on the water service, and to interview the City Council.

A committee to decide on boundary lines, and to take complete charge of the movement was appointed, and consists of John AV. Mitchell, J. L. Plummer, L. A.

Newman, C. A. Ensign and Charles Brown. These committees are to get right down to business, and they will make report at a public meeting to l.e held In the Cahuenga schoolhouse Friday evening. There seems to be a general opinion that the territory to be annexed should consist of the land as far west as the present city limits on Wilshlre boulevard and to the north limits of the city (being Benefit street,) which is about three and one-half sections of land and has an assessed valuation of over $300,000.

The north line also form the boundary line of the city of Hollywood for one mile, but whether such a large territory Is at present In favor of annexation may be doubtful. It seems that those east of Vermont avenue, about two hundred families, are about unanimous for It ment to this effect. While the speedway scheme has not yet progressed far enough so that those In control are prepared to give out the location, several sites have been favorably considered. Some declare that the club did not act in good faith from the beginning, the speedway scheme having long been a pet idea of a few members. Needless to say, it is to be strongly opposed by those in the club who think a promise should be kept In spirit and letter.

Automobile dealers yesterday took pronounced stands upon the subject and one of them stated he had expended much time and about $60 in doing all he could to "boost" the meeting, putting up with all sorts of deals from the mismanagement in the belief that the money would be spent In Improving the country roads, any of which could stand quite a little "fixing." Sunday was not under Its sanction, and that consequently it was without the A. A. pale. Oldfleld is said to have known this when he raced, but there is considerable doubt about tt. The A.

A. has shown considerable backwardness about accepting every performance passed up to it. possibly not without good reason. However, to those who saw Oldfleld's splendid performance In breaking three records In one day, the technical matter of whether a self-constituted governing body accepts the records as "official" or not will be a matter of very little moment, and very much amusement. AMHERST REMEMBERED.

The Amherst Alumivl Association of Southern California held Its annual meeting and dinner at the Del Monte last night. Stories reminiscent of the old college days were told, and th praises of the alma mater toasted and sung. The association was organised in ISM. President Guy W. Wadsworth of Occidental Coilege was elected president: vice-president, Hugh It.

The association will hold Its next meeting at the same pju: January AFTER enlisting the sympathies of the public and securing a record-breaking attendance for Its recently-closed race meeting upon the dual plea and promise of devoting the profits to the betterment of roads in this section, the Automobile Club of Southern California Is contemplating the building of a seven-mile speedway somewhere south of the city which will be of use solely to certain lovers of the horseless vehicle who are consumed by a desire to drive their machines faster than any man has a right to run upon the public highways. Others are to be kept off. When the two days of racing were announced tt was stated that the proceeds would be devoted entirely to the betterment of roads in Los Angeles county, and the placards of the club subsequently issued, together with its entry blanks, contained a direct state sured shall be.

To three wise meli from "Down I jast it nas oeen given in xnese latter days according to the wise men to discover the heretofore unrevealed force (not of the Sunny Jim brand) that is to establish the New Jerusalem on this mundane sphere. And right here in Los Angeles the elect that are to Inhabit the gold-paved, crystal-canopied city of light are being recruited from among the representatives of every nation, kindred, tongue and people the cosmopolitan population of the City of the Angels, making this possible. The candidates essaying to climb the golden stairs at $10 to $10,000 per, are numerous. Those who have been "accepted" were to have met last night and formed a council, but the meeting was postponed until this evening. WISE MEN'S PROXY.

For the present the wise men, to whom has been revealed the revolutionary secrets of force, are nameless, fearing the assault of the curious and the grraping tendencies of the capitalists. But with beneficent intent Charles W. Caryl, formerly of Denver, now established In offices at No. 416 West Sixth street, this city, has been endowed with powers to promote the" Interests of the ideal city and gather In the faithful who happen to have the price. The force that Is to be the means of bringing about Utopian conditions is called "Vril," and is electrical In its i-ature.

It can be squeezed out of the atmosphere at a cost cheaper then that of the usual water supply. To prevent it from falling into the control of capitalists the Ideal city (has been planned which shall be the center of a cooperative community. That Caryl might have confidence In the proposition he was privileged to see "Vril" in operation, and what he saw prompted him, he says, to devote his life and money to the scheme. PLAN OF "VRIL" CITY, The plan la to secure 1000 Investors, give a demonstration of "Vril' at the St. Louis Exposition, and then begin the construction of the new city.

The streets of this city will all radiate from a cental building which Is to be the clearinghouse. Here the promoters will take care of the surplus gold of all residents. Parks and a canal will surround the clearinghouse and in widening crrcles will be constructed the trade emporiums, apartmemt bouses and residences. The leading streets will be In the nature of glass-covered arcades and so constructed as to make future alteration unnecessary. Factories will be surrounded with parks, and be provided with every, convenience, so that before appearing upon the streets operatives can change thel clothes, brush their teeth, polish their shoes and make themselves generally presentable for a promenade down the line.

Six hours of labor each day will be the limit in this promised city, -with a weekly half holiday and an annual vacation of a month under pay. People who are to become residents of the "Vril" cities must all be Investors. There are to be three classes, or orders, each having seven degrees. These classes are investors, workers and trustees. Investors are graded according to the amount of their investment aa follows: First degree, $10: second degree, $100: third degree, fourth degree, $1000: fifth degree, $2500; sixth degree, $5000: seventh degree, No one person may Invest more than $10,000.

INVESTORS "SECURED." Should an Investor question Promo-tor Caryl's ability to make good his dream he Is assured that every Investor Is amply secured. A photograph of a email frame house.

Promoter Caryl does not claim for his dream city that "there shall be no night there," but he is prepared to eliminate darkness, is the essence of light.

There will be no wiping away of tears among the Cayrl followers, but the occasion for tears will be wanting, for "Vril" in operation means peace, plenty and prosperity for every inhabitant. "Vril" Is to be so harnessed as to furnish all motive power, will supply light and heat, hence this city-to-be will be smokeless. There will be no need of a fire brigade: the walking delegate will not find occasion there to work his jaw or his graft; there will be no saloons or jails, and should a Vrillte become degenerate to the point of trespassing upon his neighbor's rights, it will be the province of his fellows to "heal" him. Falling In this the offender will be cast Into the outer darkness. CRUSHED BY WHEELS.

John Welch Struck by Car While Driving Across Track and Probably Fatally Injured. John Welch, a teamster living at No. 1814 Boston stireet was fatally injured yesterday afternoon at Seventh and Main streets, in a collision with a street car. Welch was driving a heavy oil wagon eifst on Seventh street, and while the rear part was over tracks the car crashed into the hind wheels, gave the wagon a fearful Jot, and skewed It around with such a violent lurch that Welch was thrown off and both of the horses were hurled on their sides. While Welch lay unconscious the horses commenced to struggle forward and drew the hind wheels of the waon up against his body.

The great weight crushed several ribs of his right side in and Welch was taken to the Receiving Hospital with the blood running from his mouth. Later he was removed to "the Sisters' Hospital. The Police Surgeon says that Welch has little chance of recovery. The injured man is 4L THANKSGIVING SERVICES. Churches of Los Angeles Will Worship in Groups Tomorrow at Central Points.
