This Is for the fiscal year of 1005-06, and shows a gain of 126,000,000 over the report of a year ago, and which gives the city an additional sum of $361,000 l.i excess of that with which It. has h'.therto had to carry on its business. Rockefeller could buy the town and then have $100,000,000 left over to use for spending money or finance the Standard Oil company In case It should become pushed for money. The Goulds could also purchase the city and have a large enough surplus to build a tiny railroad around the outskirts'.

MITCHELL PLAYWRIGHT DRAMATIST • ONLY 18 YEARS OLD Young Angeleno Develops Wonderful Literary Talent — To Pro. duce Play To be a playwright, dramatist and athlete at eighteen years of age is a distinction that comes to few youths and when it does there is usually a stamp of self-importance that takes the touch of genius from it, but not so with Mowatt M. Mitchell, son of John S. Mitchell, manager of the Hollen beck hotel. This young man has developed a wonderful talent In the literary line, having produced two excellent pieces of work within the past year and with it all he is modest, reserved and "Just like any other boy" who has been less fortunate in mapping out what promises to be a career. Mowatt Mitchell is the author of "A Catallna Complication," which was produced last fall at the Grand Opera house by students of the Los Angeles high school with marked success. H's latest venture Is a dramatization of that famous southern story, "Red Rock," and those who have had ths opportunity of going over the manu script say it is excellent and shows the work of a true dramatist. Story of "Red Rock" At the close of the school year yes terday young Mitchell, who is presi dent of the student body of the high school, delivered a farewell address, which was brief but highly appropriate and well prepared. On numerous oc casions he has been honored by his fellow school mates, having acted an captain of the baseball team and ac quitted himself with credit as center on the basket ball team during the games played this year. Young Mitchell will receive his di ploma of graduation from the high school this afternoon. He will enter Stanford university next year and take the four years course. Miss Leslie Stose has been of val uable assistance to the youthful play wright-dramatist In his production of "Red Rock."
