All THE RINK
Last night there was fair assem-
blage of ladies and gentlemen. The
rink was finely lighted and the dis
play most satisfactory. After the Wis.,
itors had examined the many articles
on exhibition, Gov. Downey, the Pres
ident of the Association, was intro
duced and delivered the annual ad-
dress. He commenced his remarks
by congratulating our people upon the
prosperous and satisfactory
CONDITION OF THE ASSOCIATION.
The grounds have been improved
and rendered more attractive, and it
is the intention of the Society to con-
tinue from year to year planting such
trees as will be found adapted to our
climate, useful as well as beautiful,
and demonstrate here what might be
done throughout the entire district.
1t is not an over estimate to place the
value of our lands at $4,000, and our
improvements at the lowest figure at
$4,000, making the property of the
Association worth $4,000.
A LICK AT THE STATE.
Great fault is found with the State
Legislature in refusing to the Associ-
alton the little aid heretofore extend
ed, but the stockholders have nobly
responded to meet all demands and
magnanimously agreed to enable
newcomers to purchase the unsold
stock on the original basis although
worth more than it's par value-and
this is done with view to extend its
usefulness and popularity. We con-
tribute profusely to the State but get
little in return. Notwithstanding the
salubrity of our climate and our eX-
quisite productions, if there be State
in stitution to be located, the people of
Alaska could claim it as successfully
as we. They had no hesitation in
granting ut one dash $4,000 of our
IN oney to be added to the grand stand
at Sacramento, an institution that has
already received large and extrava-
CANT sums. If this thing continues,
the Governor maintained that South
ern California will have to
SET UP BUSINESS FOR HERSELF,
For as it now is we are only recog-
nized as fit subjects for taxation, and
that without representation. We can't
get any representation in Congress
and even in the matter of State Legis-
lators are cheated.
JUST LOOK AT US!
Los Angeles is the leading county in
many branches of industry-in sheep
raising, wine and brandy and Indian
corn ana tropical fruits, and but two
counties exceed us in the most pre-
ciOus of all products-Our school chill
dren. In the number of our schools
and the efficiency of our teachers there
are none who exceed us, in proportion
to our means and number of inhabit-
ants. But the progress we have made
in all that renders life agreeable is
visible everywhere. We lead the van
in the utilization of the water of our
streams. We are second to none in
hidden resources of the earth and bring
to the surface by means of artesian
wells the life-giving fluid that has
added so much in the last four years
to the material wealth of Los Angeles
county. We have adorned and beau
titled
THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES
By the introduction of pure water for
domestic and hygienic purposes, en-
abling us to beautify our grounds with
ornamental trees, flowers, grass-plots
and shrubbery, and this at extraor-
dinary expense. Our houses are fur
nished with gas. We have built noble
school houses, established libraries,
spanned our streams with noble
bridges and submitted to be taxed to
aid in the construction of railroads,
with view of making this county
center for great system, which is
now being accomplished and the bene-
fits of which we are beginning to real
iZe. Through the energy of our citi-
zens we have procured the means from
Government of making our roadstead
a commodious harbor, and the pro-
ductive energy of our people has
INCREASED OUR TONNAGE
At such strides that we are now the
second in this respect on the sea coast
of the State. AT the time we organ
lied this Association, four steamers
per month did the business of the
coast. We have them now daily, and
they are not sufficient for the demands
of trade, and this picture is applicable
to all parts of our Southern coast. Our
wealth and population have doubled
in four years.
HARD SPECIE FOREVER.
