slept under sheds or made their beds

astic persons with money came along
and paid fabulous prices for the land
At the speed at which the place was
going Los Angeles would soon have
been the largest and most populous
city in America. OF all the booms
hers was the biggest, the most sudden
and phenomenal, and the least sub
stantial. People were actually crazy,
so reckless and unreasonable had they
become, and such firm hold had the
Los Angeles mania taken upon them.
They would not listen to words of
caution and defied those who babe
them beware.
0bseryant, thoughtful people could
foresee what was coming. They knew
that the boom could not last, and pre-
dicted the crash which was inevitable
1t is now more than year since the
decline set in, and it has been as swift
as the ascent was rapid. Recently one
of the newspapers devoted over twelve
pages of fine type to list of the de
linquent taxes on lands which a year
ago were rated at millions. To-day the
owners cannot or will not pay taxes;
in many instances the land will not
bring enough under the hammer to
satisfy the collector. A gentleman
writing from there says there are fully
$4,000 people in the city without yisi-
BILE means of support and unable to
pay railway fare out. They tramp the
streets in day time, and at night find
shelter in stables, boxes and houses
maintained by charity. Formerly the
trains left hundreds in the city every
day; now, no more get off than stop
at an ordinary village, but more get
on. Briefly, there has been com
plete collapse of the Los Angeles
boom, and the city is eminently worse
off than if it had INDUCED 1t no phe-
nomenal growth. 1t will take years to
recover from the black eye, and re-
gain its lost reputation. ''Climate"
has come to be hiss and term of
contempt, and "boomer" is looked
upon as worse than a thief Los
Angeles has before her long period
of financial prostration. The business
failures which are now reported as
forty or fifty a week will continue
until the spectators have paid for
their recklessness, and reparation
been made for doing business by
wrong methods.-Salt Lake Herald

About that face to me;
For he's rude and cross and selfish,

And he's always making trouble,
I've heard his mother say.

Whose face is plain to see,
But that we never think Of
So kind and brave Is he.
He carries sunshine with him,
And every body's glad
To hear the cheery whistle
OF the pleasant little lad.

That others judge us by,
But what we do, / tell you,
And that you can't deny.

II the owners kind and true;
And that's the kind of beauty,

Spring goods superior to that of any
previous season, and ahead of anything
ever seen in this city before. The
richest and rarest goods have been
gathered from all markets, and are
offered at our popular prices.
1t would be we'll to make Easter

to avoid the rush that is sure to imme-
diately precede that occasion.
