The railroad up Pixies Peak is fast
nearing completion, and will be ready
for business by the lst OF June. The
grading has already reached Crystal

mountain. Trains will be run to this
point while the work goes on higher up.

which il partially answered in note
which we appended TO the communica.
ton. On this subject there are few
facts to he considered which may throw
some light upon the apparent remissness
of our Postoilice clerks, which we desire
to present. Los Angeles has probably n
larger floating population than any city
of its size in the world, that is not sim

These things, among Others, impose

the inadequate force allowed by law in
our Postoilice, and the miserable and in
adequate accommodate in our Post
Office quarters, it is not strange that the

THAT there will be very extensive
investment in real estate this year in
Southern California cannot be doubted. i.
1t will by no means be confined to Los
Angeles county, but San Bernardino,
San Diego and Ventura counties and the
Southern country generally will share in
the inevitable "boom." San Diego in
particular, in our opinion, and simply
because it has been neglected so long,
will benefit by the great inrush of CAPT
tai to this section. The time has come
when the many pleasant valleys of our
neighbor will be utilized, and the plice
of real estate is so low there that heavy
ratio of enhancement in values is natural
and probable. As for our own county,
land will indeed be land, and thousands
of acres which were not thought worth
the having will be eagerly snapped up at
figures that will make the croaker turn
green with envy. In the near future il
will be discovered that the amount OF
really valuelcss land in Los Angeles
county is very small indeed, aud is
mainly confined to the sides and tops OF
our sleeper mountains.

For the first time in years there has
been an abundant wheat crop in Europe,
not even the intcrminable rains and fogs
of England having drowned out the
harvest Of the tight little island. As a
consequence brcadstufls do not rule as
high rs for some years past. As it is
now substantially an assured thing that
Los Angeles will produce the largest
crop OF the cereals ever reported here,
the next subject for speculation is the
price which it will bring. Our farmers
are fortunate in that they command n
very remunerative market near at hand,
in Arizona and New Mexico. The
great revival which is now under way in
the "sun-kissedn land, aud which is
largely predicaIed on the Quijotoa dis
coveries, will tend to populate the ter
ritory and to increase the number OF
consumers OF our products.
