Quite a large bustess is done among real estate dealers In Los Angeles in the exchanging of property of Southern California property for eastern property, or vice versa, and then again, of country property in this section for city property, and otherwise. Some dealers make a speciality of this line of business, and derive a comfortable income therefrom. It would scarcely be supposed that there would be many in Southern Californfa who are anxious to exchange their property In this favored section for land in Kansas, yet a glance over the books of some of these agents shows that there are many such.

This comes from the fidgety and discontented sentiment which appears to be hereditary in many American families, so that they are never able to stay long in one place, but like the Arabs, must be always on the move. Possibly these people are descendants of Ishmael, by an indirect route. In making such trades it is usual to place the value of property to be exchanged at something Condition of the Main-street Pav ing: Business. en's Suits Sale or TODAY AND TOMORROW.

Special A BABE PRODUCT. California Dates Received ly the Chamber of Commerce. A noteworthy donation received yesterday by the Chamber of Commerce There Is very little to report in the real estate market this week. Many dealers and agents are out of town for their vacation, and those that remain here are mostly waiting for some more than the cash value. As bom sides follow this practice, however.

Gates, Garden Grove, Orange county. Dates are a rare product in California, for they seldom grow to maturity. Usually they wither when two-thirds grown. Fruit growers have experimented frequently with them, but thus far without much success.

South Main street still remains "all torn up." There Is now scarcely any prospect that anything will be done upon this thoroughfare until after the election, which means after the rainy season. The contractors depended upon the sale of bonds to enable them to go ahead with the work, not having sufficient of their own. The price at which the bonds were sold would have given them a good profit, had the validity of the bonds not been again questioned. As It Is. the court has adjourned for thirty days, and then another thirty days will probably elapse before a decision Is had.

After that there is very little prospect that it will be possible' to sell the bonds until after the election, so that, altogether, the prospect for the completion of the work within a reasonable time is far from encouraging. The moral of this Main street muddle is that municipalities should Imitate the United States government, and demand certified checks from contrac exquisittveiy lanorea and worth $14; repriced Hen's Suits.
