THERE is small wonder that many
speculations are being INDUCED in by
newspaper scrlbos and correspondents
as to the question Of whether or not the
climate of California Is changing. This
is a pertinent question in Los Angeles

this city dropped to 28' Fahrenheit.
We have the authority of the Messrs
o. II. Bliss and Joseph w. Wolfskill
for tho statement that this is the
coolest weather known in this city

Mr.. Wolfskill extending many years
back. There is Of course a great gap
between 26' above and 26' below zero
the latter being the favorite figure be-
yond the Sierras just now, but there is
room for doubt as to whether, with our
thinner blood, the people Of Los An
geles are not suffering about as much as
their Eastern compatriots. Friday

places, to n thickness ranging from
ono-sixteenth TO n quarter of an inch,

IT is significant fact that, during the
past two years. most Of the new settlers
in Los Angeles county have bought lands
with n good water right, thus assuring
facilities for irrigation. In every case
in which lands have been extensively
advertised for sale, ample provision for
irrigation has been made. Another
marked feature of the now settlement
has been that it is largely made up Of
people of means, who do not aim ut
speculation, but at the securing of COM
Portable homes. This is in marked con.
trast to the style of things which pre-
vailed in this city and county during the
"boom" of 1894 and lS7i-75, when
the widest spirit of speculation existed,
and mon made first payments on prop
erty in the expectation Of re.selling at
an advance before their mortgages had
matured. With scarcely an exception,
those who have bought property during
the past two years can pay for and i'm
prove it. They are uniformly Of q
class who will add to the already large
and remunerative production of this

Conduct of the Life station
Keeper.

SAN Francisco, February 3.-An EN-
pire City dispatch says: Wednesday al
ternoon, when the first news of the
wreck of the Tacoma was received here,
requiring the assistance Of the life boat
to rescue the men then on the wreck, q
crew of eight men volunteered and pro-
ceeded that night after dark to the life
saving station at Cape Gregory, distant
from here about nine miles, where
they arrived about IL o'clock that
night, and informed the keeper of the
station of the wreck, that they came as
volunteer crew, and that the steam
tug Escort would be off the station at
daylight to take them to the wreck
Under direction of the keeper, they pro-
ceeded to put the boat in condition for
the trip and launched her. and. with
the keeper in charge, went about two
miles TO practice the crew in pulling
boat, and then pulled back to the station
A short time after the tug arrived off
the station and the keeper refused to go
or allow the men to take the boat. Three
of the men then got n small boat from
the lighthouse keeper and went off to
the tug and informed the captain that
the keeper would not 60 or let the boat

was, that he would not go without an

wreck to day, thinks that if the life
