Our present and Future,

The people of Los Angeles are now, in
the middle of Summer, in a condition to
take stock of their present and future.
It has been the fashion OF the up country
press and of that of the States East of the
Rocky Mountains to speak of the Los
Angeles "boom" as having run its
course-as being, to employ the slang
phrase. "busted."
We propose to lcok into this matter a
little. If the phrase "busted" applies to
wildcat outside towns which existed only
on paper, and which have no present
warrant for existence, this is true, and it
is happy circumstance for Los Angeles
and for Southern California at large that
it is so. The subdivision Of fine country
properties, that ought to have been de-
voted to production, into small town
lots, was mistake, its cessation posi-
tive benefit. But if it is applied to the
steady and intelligent development of a
section there was never greater error.
At no time since the settlement of Los
Angeles by Americans has there been
more substantial prosperity and more
intelligent development than now.
While we are not selling as much real
estate as during the "boom" Of last sum-
mer, we are selling many times as much
as was ever sold in any previous sum-
mer. Values of good real estate-acre,
city and good town property-have been
maintained in every instance. We know
of city property which was purchased for
$45, 900 in March and for which $4,000
has since been refused. The class of
improvements which are going up on
every hand is better than at any period
of our history. This is true not only Of
the city but of the county as well. The
public spirit of our people is being shown
in the building of durable and elegant
public ediices and bridges, in the making
of fine streets and in plans for the improve
ment of our sewer system. The business
blocks that are being erected on every
hand would ornament leading streets of
Chicago and New York. The area of
our vineyards and orchards is being ex-
tended every day, and our production of
the cereals has been so vastly extended
that Los Angeles county even as to these
products ranks third or fourth amongst
the counties of California.
The life and movement of the city
could not be be better illustrated than by
the truthful statement of the fact that
the pedestrian can scarcely go anywhere,
in a city that covers thirty-six square
miles, without encountering buildings
under way, and in the thickly settled
parts of the municipality he cannot walk
. block without having to turn out into
the roadway because his passage is i'm
peded by building material. Though
the seaside and mountain resorts
are full to their utmost ca
pacity, general business is exceedingly
rood for this season of the year. Our
banks are full Of money, and have been
,uided by a conservative policy which
nsures safety to the depositors. Rates

The Standing Rock Braves FOrti
fled with Reason.

STANDING Rock AGENCY, August A.
No council was held to-day. The only
objections the Indians offer to the act are
that the Government has not observed
former treaties; that the boundaries of
the present reservation are not what the
Government promised, and that fifty
cents per acre is not enough.
They object to the Santees and
Pontiacs having any voice in the
treaty. They say about half OF the land
to be ceded is worthless and cannot be
sold. The Commissioners are making
an effort to haveth rank and file to think
and act for themselves Yesterday, after
adjournment, the Indians were seen in
groups discussing the questions involved,
and in the evening Sitting Bull made a
social call on the Commissioners. The
Commissioners are aware that much OF
the opposition among the Indians is the
result of evil advice from white men
outside and inside the reservation.

TERRIFIC STORM.
The Elements Create Havoc I'm the
City of New York.

New York, August 4.-Heavy rain
and lightning prevailed in this city to-
night. The lightning in the telegraph
offices caused much alarm, while rain
came down in torrents. A bolt of light
ming from the electric light wires of the
United States Illuminating Company ran
into their building at the foot of East
Twenty-ninth street and set fire to the
switch board, from which the flames
spread rapidly to the roof. The
firemen, assisted by the heavy
rain, extinguished the flames and
only $4,000 damage was done, but all the
lights of that company on East Broad
way between SD and 14th streets were
put out, and two dynamos valued al
$50, 900 were ruined. In the Western
Union operating room, one operator was
disabled by severe SHOCK, that silenced
many wires, put out the electric lamps
and filled the place with vivid flame
and cut off communication temporarily
The destruction of churches, barns and
other property is reported from the in

Pictured in your humid eyes,
Peeping through their modest rays,
Love laughing in glad surprise.
On brow and cheeks the warm tints flow
When one presence cometh nigh
The love-faced pansies deeper glow,
Whene'er the Sun-god standeth by.
Thy gentle being thrill and sway
At sweet passions touch and charm
As the m-kings turbulent play
Breaks the Summer oceans calm.
Thy wishful soul, entranced to know,
Flame within its dainty urn
As meath Hecla's breast of snow,
The constant fires consume and burn.
Then from the desert, where thy life
With fiowerless hopes are strown,
Soar with Love beyond the strife,
A dove to fair Palmyra flown.
