When the matter first came up for 6702 Foste: Road consideration it was plain that the PHONES . . Residence Main 3359 Mt. Scott section wvuld be hopelessly Business AuL 610-79 divided in opinion.

We contented ourselves with giving an impartial account of each B- ............................ development as it occurred, without comment from us. Some of our readers seemed to think we were taking sides, because we printed matter sent us for publi cation over the writers’ signatures Others somehow got the idea the Herald was conducting the postal card vote and one good lady came into the office and gave us a gentle \we reim« brakes wrth “bawling out" because we had not sent her any card! Now that the matter is settled, let all forget the little animoaties that developed during the campaign for the improvement and pull for a bet ter Mt, Scott district. Even man and woman owning property in thia community should feel directly inter ested in the welfare of the section. More good can be accomplished by pulling together than by bickering ‘ GREASE and quarrelling among ourselves. Both factions demonstrated they could practice teamwork when actu ated by an important motive and there was something to be gained or lost, as their interests appeared Why not get together for a better Mt. Scott district and fight 365 days in the year for it.

Incidentally, it will be , better section in which to live and the bus iness men will enjoy an increased measure of prosperity. Community spirit worked wonders for California; without it the state would never have developed as fast and as far as it has. Forget this spirit of petty elfishness; whether a man owns property on 61st, 72nd or 92nd street is immaterial; he is a resident of the Mt. Scott district and as such his interests are linked with those of his neighbors ten or twenty blocks away. P. LARSEN, Reai Estate, Insurance MOVING R0SECITYVAN A. S.

PIPER is going down In the last past 90 day« the cost of job printing stock has been re duced by our paper barons from ten to twenty per cent, and the Mt Scott Herald proposes to give its patron, the benefit of the decline. In addr tion to this, the Herald has secured assistance in its job department un excelled m this city. Mr. Sellers, in charge, has been at the head of sev eral of the very best printing plants on the coast, and his ability to turn out an excellent class of printing in the shortest time possible is un questioned by those familiar with his work. Having a linotype typesetting machine now in excellent condition and three firstclass presses, etc., the Herald is especially well equipped to turn out large poster work, pam phlets of every site and description at the lowest living rate possible .-ommensurate with the class of work delivered. Ixjw overhead expenses .-nd superior workmen of long year., experience assures the better clast of work at non-profiteering price«. The fact that the Herald job printing department '« recently en joying a large and fast increasing patronage from not only leading firms in the city, but other towns tributary, attests that the Herald is prepar>d to turn out the better clas of printing at reasonable prices. Try us once and you will be a regular patron. THE HERM.IIS CONTEST To relieve the minds of some of our patrons who might be inclined to think that the Herald’« “trade-at- home” contest is a grafting propose Gon. we wish to state at thia lima that, after paying the different pri zes offered in this contest, the Her ald is barely receiving the regular rates per inch charged merchants and business men for the space men tioned. Our only hope, and original intention, in running this contest as far as the paper itself was concerned, was to increase the circulation of the Herald and. thus by casting bread upon the waters to. in time to come, materially increase our subscription list. Th s is being realized very sat isfactorily. But the major object in view was to by this method stimu late and cultivate the “buy-at-home" spirit, thus assisting the merchants of the Mt. Scott district to secure that trade to which they are justly entitled. We believe that the result of this contest will bring thousands of dollars into this community that heretofore has gone “down town.” where the color of the money will never be seen again. The Herald, to assist in this laudable effort, has advanced several hundred dollars to guarantee the success of thia enter prise. which can be substantiated by inquiry at our local bank—and if the business men of the Mt.
