ADMITTING that Blaine is the admins

John Benson Foraker to tell in what re-
spect it has been grand. What great
question has it adjusted? In fact, not
to put too fine point on it, what has it
done at all except urge the passage OF
the force bill, in which it was ignomin-
iously defeated, and assist prohigate
congress of its party to pass the McKin-

is true that there was a Pan-American
congress that sat at Washington, but it

Los Angeles herald., 1891-04-30

THAT something of a boom has again
struck Los Angeles is shown by nego-
tiations for the sale of the lot, sixty by
one hundred and eighty feet, on Spring
street, between Second and Third streets,
belonging to Charles Brode, and adjoin-
ing Turn Verein hall, for which Mr.. o.
I. Johnson of the Hotel Westminster
yesterday offered l,50O. The trade
would have been consummated, but for
the fact that Mr.. Johnson insisted that
Mr.. Brode should pay the taxes, and the
latter insisted that he would not. This
is not a boom price, but it shows that at
least boomlet is under way here, taken
in connection with the sale previously
reported in the HERALD, on the opposite
side of the same thoroughfare, and also
located between Second and Third
streets. Values are unquestionably
hardening at a lively rate; and, as they
are doing this at the very opening of
summer, it is apparent to those who are
familiar with the way things are done
in Southern California, that those who
wish to get in on the ground floor would
do well to take note of current events.
Los Angeles herald., 1891-04-30

THE signs of coming boom in Los
Angeles multiply every day. The latest
straw is the intimation, which reaches
us from many quarters, that work from
Milford to Barstow is about to be pushed
with great energy under the auspices of
the Terminal railway company, and that
contracts have been let for the building
of this division OF the road. Readers of
the HERALD will recall the fact that
Judge Jefferson Chandler informed a
HERALD representative that his company
proposed to expend three millions of
dollars in their project, and that when
that sum was expended they would
make a aatraffic arrangement with the
Union Pacific and Santa Fe companies
by which Los Angeles should have an
other transcontinental railway. We
therefore look upon the announcement
that the contracts have been already let
as perhaps premature. But that all
these large expenditures OF the Terminal
company have been made with view
to providing accommodations for great
transcontinental railway does not, in
our opinion, admit of doubt.
