The San Bernardino Guardian of
the lst instant has the following: The
rapidity with which Los Angeles de-
yelops her resources and increases her
population, is literally marvellous.
One enterprise is hardly carried out
before another is begun. Wharves are
being constructed; colonies estab-
iished railroads projected; new
branches Of industry are being con-
stantly developed. Los Angeles GER
tainly advances more rapidly in wealth
and population than any county in
the State, if we except San Francisco.
The entire people seem imbued with
the most active enterprise. The men
of wealth eagerly and generously sup
port all projects of progress; picayune
economy il not in their line, and to
their enlightened and liberal public
spirit, no less than to its many natural
advantages, Los Angeles is indebted
for its rapid progress.
