Yards which the eyes oil all tue IN
syt ids Of the world are turned. They
ef DIVIDED in here last winter at such a
ate that they were packed like sardines
n box. The cry was loud aud long
lor more room. Hundreds OF people
we're driven out of the town because
hey could not find accommodations
sre. This is already in part remedied,
, i'd will be very much remedied ny next
tinter. When the Eastern excursion
i nsiness runs in strong steady stream
gain there will be three times the ac-
in the city there was last
far. There will be ell the caravanse
q - of the former period and they will
y supplemented by large additions.
rst comes the great Raymond at Pasa-
0 s,na, one Of the handsomest hotels in
!. ne country, with its $50 rooms. This
iill be opened for the accommodation OF
guests the first Of next November, 1t
will be thoroughly equipped and in
charge of the most experienced caterer.
OF course this will not be very largely
available for the general public. The
Raymond & Whitcomb excursions will
keep it filled nearly all the year round
But while this is true enough, it IS also
to be borne in mind that it relieves the
other hotels of the pressure these parties
have always brought upon the hostelries
of the country.
Then in the city there is the Nadeau,
which will throw its doors wide open TO
the travelling public on the Fourth OF
next July, bare month from this time.
1t will hold about as many guests as the
Pico and st. Elmo together. This will
be a great convenience to all travellers
stopping in the city. The buii1ing Is
central, airy and well appointed.
Then there Is the Ellis College, which
will be opened as a family hotel
about the first of September next. 1t
is to be called the Belmont, and it
will probably accommodate. abont one
hundred guests. The location OF this
new caravansary is not surpassed any.
where, and il is sure to prove popular
with families and individuals who
come here to make protracted stay.
Besides these there are a number OF
new and handsome boarding houses
opened in different parts of the city.
some Of these will be able to take care
of one hundred guests each. ii
At Santa Monica the Arcadia will be
ready for occupancy along about the end
of Summer. and will afford excellent
accommodation for some two hundred
guests. Here is fine line Of improve.
ment and development in the way Of
hotel accommodations. The field is
much improved over the condition OF
matters a year ago. But the whole OF
the ground is not yet occupied. To
do that would require the erection
Of very large and most thoroughly APP
pointed commercial hotel in the center
of the city. Then there should be q
similar enterprise in the shape Of fine
family hotel somewhere away from the
center. Some of the hills with their
pure air and superb views would be an
excellent place TOR such venture.
PAVILION.
This is one Of the great needs of the
city. There are few cities of any size,
aud not one in the country of twice the
size of Los Angeles. that needs large
pavilion SO much as she does. This is
a magnetic point that draws to itself
with wonderful power. ALI the country
wants to see Los Angeles. 1t is easier
to get body of men to fix upon this as
q rendezvous than it would be in the
case OF any other city in the land, other
things being anything like equal. The
State Republican Convention will
assemble here next August. Where will
they hold their sessions This is a CO.
nundrum which is putting the managers
to their wits ends. There is no proper
building in the city. This need is thus
forced upon the attention of all the peo-
pie of the city. Our enemies will be
here lynx-eyed. They will see the ma
kedness Of the land and they will go to
Gath and Askalon-in modern phrase
San Jose and Sacramento-and they will
tell it, with what additions fertile i'm
apination may paiut the fact. The re-
suit will be that when in any similar
body like request is preferred on the
part of Los Angeles. the denizens OF the
northern citrus belt will proclaim il
trumpet. tongued that there is not pub.
lie hall in all the Angelic city.
Then there is the annual Flower Festl-
val. There is the May Musical Festival,
which should be made an annual feature.
Fairs for the exhibition of citrus and
other fruit at several seasons OF the year
claim consideration, and there is The
general Agricultural Fair in the fall.
There should be a Mechanics Fair in
augurated here at an early day. Proba
bly, there is not large percentage Of
interest in sight in such an enterprise,
but there are things an enlightened pub
lie spirit must do in all large cities FOL
the sake of their indirect effects. Own
era OF large properties in Los Angeles
and proprietors OF large business estab
lshments can well afford to put some
money into such building, and be sat
isfied to get less than per cent. pei
month interest on the investment. The
right way to do this is to make tn,
shares a nominal sum and let all tn,
people take part of the stock, even i
il be bu. one share. There should b
some such scheme set on foot at onc'
and pushed ahead with vigor until tn,
capstone was laid upon a large and hand
some edifice
POWER BUILDING.
Here is another enterprise that should
be earnestly considered. 1t is hard Il
set new manufacturing enterprise OF
foot in this city. 1t is going to be hare
to do this for some years to come. Th
geographical situation and the lack o
cheap coal will act as drag on such de
velopment. There should, therefore, b
done all that can be to offset whatever o
disadvantage there may be in these tw,
clemens. The best way to encourage
small manufacturing enterprises woul'
be to put up power block" BY thi
is meant block near the center of tn
city, 80 arranged than an engine cal
be placed in a basement where Their
is plenty Of room for a cargo of coal
The upper part is divided int
single rooms and suites. The room
let with power from the engine to run
certain amount of machinery. In thi
way power may be had at minimur
expense, and the cost OF plant is ais
saved. There is money in this PROPOSE
ton. 1t will require some capitals
much that only rich man or a synd
cate Of such have any business to tax
hold of it. Gotten up in proper shap'
such an Investment will pay we'll.
There is no Disgusting the fact thf
the men who are making fortunes b
shrewed speculations in corner lots wi
after a bit find themselves at Ii
end of their tether, long as
has been. They will then hay
10 get in and improve some OF the
property so as to sustain the value
their possessions. There is limit
the game in specializing, but hard
any to that OF legitimate improvement
Some OF these shrewd operators wi
take time in the near future to get fir
grasp on this improvement proposition
and they will add in this way to Il
fortunes they have amassed in specula
ing.
