K. T. lleydcn, who has Just returned
from his seventh winter trip to Call,
fornlq, brings a messnge of Inspiration to
the local real estate dealer and to the
nvestor In local lands. In comparing
tos Angeles and Its adjoining territory
to Omaha nnd the surrounding (list t lets
he shows emphatically that-greater op
portunities aro hold forth here at home
than at any other city. Prices of Los
Angeles renl estate, he says, are flvo to
ten times higher than similarly located
properties In Omaha. If citizens contem
plating buying property would go to
California, he declares, they would re
turn much more willing to Invest In prop
urtles hero and would sink their money
In homo Investments twice as quickly.
Ho continues to give comparisons as fol
lows: "In Los Angeles, a business district
reaching from Cuming street to Leaven
worth and from Sixteenth to Twenty
fourth, ground cannot be bought at any
thing less than $3,000 a front foot and
very llttla at that The most of It would
bo M.000, $5,000 and $6,000 a front foot.
Property at Twenty-sixth and F&rnim
would be about $2,000 a front foot In
stead of $300. High class residence prop
erty out much farther than Dundee,
along the boulevards, is sold for $150 a
front foot, and out five to six mllee from
the business district and beyond the city
limits they are asking $50 to $ a front
foot.
"The prices of acreage property ut
us far as eighteen miles from the busi
ness center are from $1,000 to $3,000 an
acre, and then only In from ten to tfiO
acre tracts. One large building company
recently bought 6,000 acres seven miles
out and paid a little over $2,000 an acre.
This was the largest and best posted
building company in Los Angeles as to
values. Coming back here It seems we
are almost giving our property away. I
think our street railway system could do
a great deal more good to our community
by extondlng lines Into the country, giv
ing the working people an opportunity to
reduce the cost of ltvlng by being able
to get on a small piece of land and grow
a part of what they consume, while
keeping their positions In the city. One
can reallre as much, or even more, from
an acre of ground near Omaha than he
can near Los Angeles, If he considers
the price ho pays for an acre here and
what he can get for what he grows.
The trouble Is the people are not told
what they can do here, while constantly
being told what they can do In other
places. There Is not a bettor market
any place for selling what you grow
than tho Omaha market. This Is another
thing people living hero do not seem to
know until they go elsewhere to find It
out. Wo have elegant land, a good mar
ket, fine climate and our real estate is
very cheap, but we do not se'em to know
it. A person with moderato means can
not go any place else and do better than
ho can right here at home. If he gets
right down to figuring It out
J'There may be n. few things that pay
bigger returns; In other places, such as
oranges and alfalfa, but there are draw
backs to them. The- orange crop usually
pays big returns, but If the oranges get
frozen as they did this year In California
there Is a heavy loss. The up-kecp of
an orange grove Is at least $100 an acre.
The prices of orange grovce are from
$1,000 to $2,B00 an acre. Alfalfa Is no doubt
the best and surest crop there, but It
takes quite a little to get started. The
prices for alfalfa farms In the Los
Angeles district are from $400 to $ an
Here. Here ono can buy them from $125
to $200 an acre.
"I enjoy my trips to California Im
mensely, but I enjoy getting back again
Just aa much. The roads there are a
marvel to ride on scarcely a hole or
rough place in them any place. They now
have about 300 miles of tine paved road
In Los Angeles county outtldo of the
cities and towns. The county has spent
$3,500,000 during the last three years on
paved roads. They are the same aa our
asphalt streets and Inhabitants say the
expenditure was the best Investment the
County ever made.
"What we need here Is more boosters
for our city and state, more publicity,
nioro boulevards and paved country
roads, cleaner streeets, more street car
extensions, more publicity for our
factories. There Is no better placo to live
the year around and make money than
right here. There are a few better places
to spend a vacation for a short time, but
no better place to live and be able to

Plaintiff Talks
With Juror and
New Trial Ordered
Because suspicions entertained by at
torneys for the defense had created a
condition of prejudice that might militate
against tho ends of Justice, Judge Willis
Q Bears of the law division of tho dis
trict court yesterday stoppod tho trial of
the suit of N. P. Bergers against
the Everett-Metrger-Klanders Automobile
company In the middle of' tho proceedings
and ordered, a new trial. The Judge dis
missed tho Jury from further considera
tion of the case. He Indicated the trial
would be begun anew next .Monday, but
counsel for the defendant will ask a con
tinuance until tho next term of court, or
at least until a new Jury panel la called.
Bergcrs Is suing for J7.C76, alleging the
defendant employed him as agent for n
year, but discharged him without Just
cause only a few weeks after ho took up
his duties. Tho automobile company of
fers the defenso that Bergers was taken
on trial and under no contract, his em
ployer having the right to sever Its re
lations with him .whenever It should 4ai
fit.
Vesterday afternoon It was reported to
counsel for the defondant that the
plaintiff, Bergers, had been seen talking
with several of the Jurors during a re
cess. Tho Informer believed they wero
discussing the case at bar. The matt3r
was reported to Judge Sears, who In his
private office examined one c.f tho Jurors.
In dismissing the Jury und ordering a
new trial Judge Sears said he had dis
covered no foundation for any charge of
misconduct against Bergcrs or any Juror,
but tho Incident might havo the effect
of creating a prejudice one way or an
other In tho minds of some of tho Jurors
and tho ends of justice would best be
conserved by ordering a new trial.
