THEY WILL GET HERE.
What an AngelenO Finds In HIS
Eastern Travels.

Eastern Travels.
DR.. D. R. Brearley, of this city, is in
receipt of a letter of recent date, written
to him from an eastern city by Mr.. G. A.
Stillson, OF Los Angeles. A few excerpts
from those pages, setting forth what sen.
timent with regard to California the
writer finds prevailing, may be of interest
to those who cannot go east and feel the
public pulse for themselves. Mr.. Stillson
says: "It is queer how everyone 1 meet
speaks Of Los Angeles and Southern
California. Everybody is thoroughly
impressed with the notion that the eli.
mate there must be wonderful in winter.
And they all anticipate q visit to that
place. I Judge from common remarks
made by all meet that never were
there country and city so we'll known
or so much talked about by people who
never have been there as Los Angeles
and it's vicinity. Yet they all think that
the bottom ID out Of real estate and bust
ness generally, and they are surprised
when / tell them Of tie new buildings
that have been put up since the "boom, !"
and the fact that Spring street property
has sold higher since the sbust" than dur
ing the "boom." Everybody, no matter
where you 60, knows all about it, and the
tourists returning must all tell the
same grand story about the climate, and
the came bad story about the sbusted
BOOM" In any event, begin to feel
that the story Of the "busted boom" is
going to prove an actual benefit to Los
Angeles, as it excites peoples curiosity
and makes them talk OF coming to invest
in q country with such wonderful advan-
tages of climate and soil, now that prices
have gone back to normal conditions. I
have met several in the past few days
who have remarked that they believed
about next winter would do to invest in
LosAngeies county. don't know that we
ought to expect another 'sboom" in con-
sequence of this feeling; but I do feel
satisfied that the people who hope to
visit at some time or other the country OF
GLORIOUS climate" are so numerous that
if they should al start next week,
and await their turn for tickets,
the present railroad facilities, going
and coming as fast as they could,
would not get them all there in fifty
years. am coming back to Los Ange-
les bigger bull in real estate than ever
in it's future prospects. That our coun-
try will grow to quarter Of million in
habitants soon, am sure. That it will
reach l,alf q million before many years,
is plain as daylight"
Mr.. Stillson is not the only Apgeleiio
who has made the eastern tour and
thereby become firm believer in the
future of Los Angeles. During the past
quiet summer great many people have
gone all over the East, and came
back to withdraw from the market
all their Los Angeles property. They
are confident that in a short time there
will be renewed immigration of settlers
here, and that real property is cheaper
to-day then it ever will be again.
Among the recent returns from the
East is Fred L. Allies. He reports a
strong and active demand for realty in
all the best eastern cities. He
says real property is daily be-
coming more sought for as permanent
investment. Such cities as Detroit,
Cincinnati and Chicago, he says, are
very active in the matter of real estate
Investments. He also found great deal
of interest in Los Angeles wherever he
went, and he thinks there will be good
deal of improvement here this fall and
winter, developing into strong market
in the spring,
