SHORT INTERVIEWS.
Am Encouraging Outlook for the
Future.

| Future.
Mr.. J. j. Schollart Il am st. Louis
an, you know. L have known Hon. Fred
Helm, of that city, for years. He has
been in the habit of spending his winters
in Los Angeles for some time past, He
became so enamored of our climate, peo-
pie and other attractions that l know it
has been his desire to make this his
home. Now am advised from St. Louis
that Mr.. Helm has just disposed of his
brewing interests in that city to an Eng
lish syndicate, for the sum of $490, 900,
and although he retains his large plant
in Kansas City, his presence there is in
no way necessary, 10 he will at an early
day remove to Los Angeles, where
he will hereafter make his home. He
refused round million dollars for his
brewing interests in Kansas City; he was
State Senator from his district for several
terms; he is man of large information,
OF most engaging manners, and will be
in all respects great gain to the COM
munity. He is only one of great many
who wish to get away from the East and
make Southern California their home.
Charles E. Miles Yes. have been in
California good while. l have had q
treat of no little significance during the
past few days. My brother, F. B. Miles,
OF the firm of Bennett & Miles, Philadel-
phia, has been paying me little visit.
had not seen him for just thirty-two
years, 30 you may be sure our meeting
was one of interest to both of us. My
brother goes away tonight, and he leaves
Los Angeles with no end OF pleasant i'm
pressions of the city and people. He
likes the country greatly, and is surprised
to see what there is here. He thinks
there is great future before us.
| Major Geo. S. Patton NO, am not in
favor of having Pasadena dump her sew
age on the farm below the Alhambra. I
see the papers of Pasadena have been
busy in circulating report that II. w.
Patton was in favor OF that movement,
and had withdrawn all his opposition out
of the way. l do not think our distin-
| guished friend of the Land Office ever
took much personal interest in this mat
ter. do not think it affects his interests
in any way. 1t looks as if there was a
confusion of identities in this report.
| presume il is my opposition that is
meant to be represented as withdrawn.
Ii it is, then some one has blundered for
L am unalterably opposed to the whole
scheme, and will oppose it to the bitter
end. 1t is also said that the sewage will
be taken across the lands of l. B. Bishop,
Esq. | am in receipt of advices from
that gentleman, the tenor of which is
that the sewer may enter his lands, but
that it will not make much progress
towards crossing them before the work
will come to full stop.
Octavius Morgan We have not
| of iv
now. The principal thing in hand
with us is three blocks, being
erected under our supervision for Eugene
German. We drew the plans and let
the contracts and the work is now in
progress.
| 1t may be remarked here parentheti-
cally, that Mr.. Germain told the writer
just before his departure for Europe
that these three blocks would coat
500 900.
Continuing, Mr.. Morgan said further:
Since the first of last January we have
drawn plans and let contracts for $780,
600 worth of work in the building line.
The work now being done is nearly all Of
heavy character. Each block counts.
Look along Figueroa street, and see the
number of fine residences going up out
there. 1t will astonish any one who
thinks everything is at standstill. We
are only one firm of architects out of over
thirty. Yes, think the work let to con-
tractors from all the offices in the city
this year will aggregate at least
50 600, 900. For the year 1889, when
the full count is complete, seven months
hence, the work done, not including that
on public buildings, will be $1,000 900 or
81 600, 900.
B. 1f ~
Well. our old system of cable roads, most
OF which is now complete, is of about
131a miles extent. The company is now
engaged in making extensions not at first
contemplated of 9 miles extent. This
gives total Of 221a miles of cable road,
all of which will be in operation in about
six months. There are some horse-car
lines also belonging to our company.
Oh the total cost will be much more
than your surmise. The original
plan, including the horse-car lines,
represents an outlay of $2,500,00 I
suppose the extension will cost 81 ,OO0,-
900. The company has expended that
much on the city, or will have done 30
when the work is all complete.
A Granger Talks We'll, l should say
there is boom in the planting of orange
trees. The papers give reports that indi-
cate that this will 60 on. A nurseryman
at Pomona has planted 100000 orange
jseeds to raise young trees. Tim Corsoll,
of Apaheim, is reported to have planted
seven tons of other seed. We are going
to plant great many trees in
the next five years. The scale is dis
appearing ali around. am in the city,
too, sometimes. Last year at this time 1
saw scale all over the city. 1t was on
the rose bushes, on the hedges, on nearly
all vegetation except the eucalyptus. 1t
is gone from nearly all these gardens
now. You live here. l saw the scale
last summer within few doors of
your own home. l saw it on the
shrubbery in a lot you own yourself.
There is not sign of it along Second
street now, nor along Bunker Hill
avenue, nor on any of the other streets
near there. Is it not SO?
The reporter was glad enough to be
able to assent, without mental or other
reservation, to all these pleasant state
ments. The scale is no doubt disappear
ing of its own accord.
| Not a Nuisance.
The case of Mr.. Kelleher against @. III.
Creciat, which has been on trial in Judge
Clark's court tor several days past, came
to conclusion Yesterday. The suit was
