EDITORS Herr Id do not under
stand why, with all the enterprise
your paper shows in nearly every di-
rection, you do not get list OF sub
scribers here in Inglewood it would
be no trouble at all. In a short time
we shall have weekly paper of our
own. Arrangements are being per-
fected for this already. Mr.. Dickil-
son is to be manager and editor. Hay
| ing had extensive experience on papers
in Chicago, he will doubtless succeed.
The rain has made everything bloom
like a green bay tree out here, and the
sandy soil has absorbed all the water,
go that the roads are in excellent con-
dition.
There are sixty men at work on
water pipe bitches; thirty more on
the reservoir. The hotel is nearly
completed, and rooms for summer
boarders are being engaged, the
trains running SO often that any per-
son doing business in Los Angeles
can get to his Office be :ore hours and
return after hours, SO as to be here at
dinner.
The ties and steel are being laid to
Redondo Beach, and within two
weeks trains from Los Angeles and
Inglewood will run hourly. The tun-
mel near Centinela Springs is being
dug to tap additional springs, which
have been located by the engineers.
This employs quite number of men.
Foundations are being laid for five
or six honses on the Hardy tract,
north Of the railroad. Ten more are
contracted for and as soon as the lum-
Der arrives from Redondo, where il
now is, at least 60 business rooms
will be begun. The price of lumber
being so much less than in Los An
geles or anywhere else in SouthernC Cal
fornia that any one can save the cost
OF his lot by building here. The pros
poets are more flattering for large
town than they ever were for Pasa-
dena or any other place that has
star ed in this part Of the country.
The new depot is regarded by all as
one of the neatest in the State, and
would be an ornament to Los Angeles.
The cement sidewalk layers of MIR.
| Molitor, who is the contractor for the
work, are making good time, and soon
Inglewood will be the best tagged
town in the county.
The Freeman College of Applied
Sciences will soon be begun, and as
the building will cost a 100000 or

to the number Of workingmen here.
The Inglewood House, Mrs. Belden,
prop,ieress, is filed to its full
capacity. More than eighty boarders
eating there and all are pleased.
There is a gentleman living here who
came from one of the Western States
Missouri, l think-about three
months ago. He has already made
in Inglewood property over $4,000,
and has at least $4,000 invested now.
In short time he will have more.
He is a regular Western Yankee and
knows a good thing when he sees it.
| could mention great many others
but this one happened to pop into my
head.
A prettier sight rarely presents it.
self to u person than can be seen any
day in the large orchard here-it con-
tains eighty acres. The almond trees
are literally loaded with the most
beautiful blossoms and reminds one
OF the apple blossoms. 1 do not think
that if all the crown jewels of the
crowned heads OF the world were
hung on any tree or placed in the
most fantastical positions under the
beautiful electric light, that they
would excel in beauty and splendor
the gorgeous hues OF the beautiful
blossoms hanging in such profusion
on the trees here.
Mr.. Hoettle, the landscape gardener
from Holland, has begun his work on
Nethermead Park, and soon Ingle-
wood will stand without rival in
California as the home Of florists.
General Fremont, his wife and
daughter make weekly visits to their
future home, anticipating the pleasure
that is reserved for them in living
and making their home in this lovely
place. The realization in this case
will be greater than the anticipation.
| A visit to Inglewood will dispel any
doubt that the most sceptical person
may have of its thrift and prospects,
and will induce such a person to be-
come as it has in many cases re-
doubtable champion Of Los Angeles
most beautiful suburb. Yours truly,
| HEARTHsToNE.
