Development.
.os Angeles is the Mecca Of health
yards which the eyes of all the in
svsida Of the world are turned. They

ate that they were packed like sardines
a box. The cry was loud and long
lor more room. Hundreds OF people
we're driven out of the town because
hey could not fnd accommodations

!, ID will be very much remedied by next
t'inter. When the Eastern excursion

N supplemented by large additions.
= rst comes the great Raymond at Pssa-
o i.na, one Of the handsomsst hotels in
!. ne country, with its $50 rooms. This
ill be opened for the accommodation OF
guests the first Of next November, II
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 IRON this time.
II will hold about as many guests as the
Pico and st. Elmo together. This VIII
be a great convenience to all travellers
stopping in the city. The building is
central, airy aud well appointed.
Then there is the Ellis College, which
will be opened as 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 it 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.
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 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 for such venture.
A PAVILION.
This is one Of the great needs Of the
city. There are few cities of any size,
and 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
a 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 sessonsf This is a CO.
nundrum which is putting the managers
70 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 ns-
kedness OF the land and they will go to
Gath and Askalon-in modern phrase
San Jose and Sacramento-and they will
tell il, with what additions fertile i'm.
agination may paint 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 it
trumpet. tongued that there is not pub
lie hall in all the Angelic city.
Then there is the annual Flower Festi-
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 Mechanics Fair in.

but there are things an enlightened pub.

Iishments can well afford to put some
money into such building, and be sat-
isied to get less than | per cent. per
month interest on the investment. The
right way to do this is to make the
shares a nominal sum and let all the
people take part of the stock, even if
IL be but one share. There should be
some such scheme set on foot at once
and pushed ahead with vigor until the
cspstone was laid upon large and hand

A POWER BUILDING.
Here is another enterprise that should
be earnestly considered. 1t is hard TO
set new manufacturing enterprise on
foot in this city. II is going to be hard
to do this for some years TO come. The
geographical situation and the lack OF
cheap coal will act as drag on such de-
velopment There should, therefore, be
done all that can be to offset whatever Of
disadvantage there may be in these two
elements. The best way to encourage
small manufacturing enterprises would
be to put up ''power block" By this
is meant block near the center Of the
city, 80 arranged than an engine can
be placed in a basement where there
is plenty Of room for cargo of coal.
The upper part is divided into
single rooms and suites. The room is
let with power from the engine to run a
certain amount Of machinery. In this
way power may be had at q minimum
expense, and the cost of a plant is also
saved. There is money in this PROPOSE.

There is no Disgusting the fact that
the men who are making fortunes by
shrewed speculations in corner lots will
after q bit fad themselves at the
end of their tether, long as il
has been. They will then have
TO get in and improve some of theiI
property so as to sustain the value o.
their possessions. There is a limit tc
the game in specializing, but hardly
any to that of legitimate improvement
Some of these shrewd operators will
take time in the near future to get firn
grasp on this improvement proposition
and they will add in this way to the
fortunes they have amassed in speoulat
