HON. JOHN P JONES, of Nevada,
will arrive in Los Angeles Satur-
day if his announced purpose is
carried out. II there Is single
public man In the United States
who should receive a warm well
come in Southern California it is
the public-spirited and incompara-
BILE Nevada Senator, who has done
more to develop this section than
any other dozen individuals put to-
gether. All over Southern Califor-
MIA are found memorials of his lib
erality and unselfish enterprise.
The Santa Monica wharf, the Los
Angeles and Independence Rail-
way, the abortive attempt to de-
velop mining back country to Los
Angeles at Panamint, his unstinted
outlays at Kernville;-all these
things mark out Jones as man of
great and generous impulses. Drop
ping local questions, ana taxing
up these of national moment, it is
mainly to the able, unremittipg
and brilliant efforts of John p.
Jones that silver has been REIN
stated in its proper position in the
financial affairs of the world. 1t is
indeed not perhaps too much to say
that it is largely owing to his ex.
haustive and statesmanlike speech
es on the relation of silver to gold
that we now see silver remonetiz ed
in Germany. Jones, like Grant, is
q Republican,; but, for our part,
while we should be glad to see the
ex-President welcomed to Los
Angeles, we in dulge the
hope that the greeting ex-
tended to the Nevada Senator
would be more cordial and home
like. 1t would be graceful thing
upon the part of our citizens if they
should give this thorough friend OF
their section hearty and demon
strative public reception.

The cheerful feeling now appar-
ent in all circles in Los Angeles is
warranted. All the weather sharps
concur in the opinion that the COM
ing season will be characterized by
abundant rains. That a hopeful
feeling pervades the country dis
tricts we learn from every quarter.
Judge Moffitt, the other day, gave
us an instance of what we hope
will be universal throughout the
county next year. He says that
never during his residence in the
San Fernando valley have the peo-
pie there been as prosperous as
now. Every one seems to have
some money, and twenty-dollar
pieces are even abundant. The
wheat crop was fair, both In guam
tity and quality, and brought re-
munerative prices. AS an example

SUNDAYS San Francisco Chron.

SUNDAYS San Francisco Chron-
icle contained number of refiec-
lions that we DEERE to see brought
home to our own people. We
quote:
In proportion to its actual in
trinsic value, unimproved real es.
tate in and around San Francisco
is cheaper to-day than it has been
for years, or will be again.
This is certainly as true of our
own city as of our more pretentious
neighbor. Our contemporary con-
tinues:
The enhancement of real estate
&c = growing city is not always no.
ticeably rapid, but in the course of
. great number of years the in
crease in value seems marvellous.
A rich man recently died at New
York leaving an estate worth
$25, 200, 900, and his surviv-
ing brothers fortune is
rated at an equal amount.
Neither of them appear to have
ever done anything for their en-
richment save to preserve intact
the real estate they inherited from
their father. Tracts which he pur-
chased for Sis foot would now
bring thousands of dollars foot at
compulsory sale. A small fortune
grows on the same principle that
great one does.
1t Is not from speculative mo-
how huk hn n
house-renters should aspire to get
homes. No poor man can indulge
in feeling Of security while his
family dwells under another mans
roos What is comparatively easy
to accomplish to-day in securing a
house will be impossible a few
years hence; and as real estate ap.
preciates, which it certainly will
do, rents will appreciate accord
lngly. The sum that will command
comfortable and respectable accom-
modations this year or the next
Will gradually cease to be suffi-
Client, ana must either be increased
In time or less desirable abode
must be accepted. To assume 8
grave burden. and to toll even for
years to pay for q home, may APP
pear an arduous task, but it is bet
ter to take the chances and enter
upon the ordeal than to be resigned
to fate, and pay rent perpetually.
In addition, property that may now
be considered valuable only for res
fdence purposes, may ultimately
prove the foundation of moderate
wealth to those who inherit it.
When times grow prosperous values
advance, and the opportunity that
is now presented will have passed
away forever. Those who are sit
uated to improve it, but who neg
lect to do so, will in future remem-
Der the omission with keen regret.
There is not single word of the
foregoing that will not apply to our
own locality. 1t is true that the
size and resources of Los Angeles
are at present insignificant as COM
pared with San Francisco, but this
will not always be the case, and
the ratio of development may be
even greater in our case than in
that Of the city of the Golden Gate.
1t Ia easy TO allow ones self to be
discouraged by temporary dash
of hard times, but all the condi-
tions of prosperity lie straight
ahead for us. He who buys now
is certain of being looked upon as
having been wise in his day and
generation. We don't think we
strain the point a whit in assum-
ing that, by next April, property
will have enhanced at least fifteen
per cent. over the present low
prices.

we were schoolboys, that two sides Of

that the shortest distance between any
two points was By straight line. Col
fax people, however, seem to decide
otherwise, aud seek to establish the
following astounding anomaly in men-
suration, viz. that divergence from
direct course shortens any given dis
tance. We are inevitably forced to
this conclusion from reading recent
COMMUNICATIONS in the Pdlouse Gazette
in reference to the proposed extension
Of telegraph line from Lewiston to the
military post at Fort Ceur d'Alene. It
is admitted that the ,verpment will
select any feasible route along Which
the largest number Of telegraph poles
shall be supplied by citizens. 1t can
not be denied that the shortest, most
direct and natural course is through the
towns of Moscow, Palouse City. Farm.
ington, etc. Along it the requisite
poles, Of the best timber the country
affords, can be delivered at much less
expense than by any other. 1t would
seem as though these natural advan-
tages Of themselves should insure the
preference to line through the places
last mentioned, Notwithstanding which,
if other towns subscribe more literally.
We shall have no just ground of CON-
plant If they are preferred. We pro
test. however. against the apparent eff
fart to nislead and misinform the Of.
ficers who may have this work in
charge, and hence beg the iavcr
through your columns of calling their
attention to the following facts in brief.
Spokane Falls is nearly due north Of
Lewiston, aud line between th,se two
points would intersect Moscow, Palouse
City aud Pine creek. Cofax is nearly
twenty miles due west Of Palouse CITY.
and it route is selected via Colfax.
there is no reason to expect it to be
diverged to pass through this place and
rice versa. 1t would be the height Of
assurance on their part to expect us to
aid them to our own detriment. As it
is unreasonable to suppose that they do
50 expect, we are forced to the conclu-
sion that they are trying to throw dust
into somebody's eyes.
