Little Interviews Which Were Noted
Yesterday.
r. M. Shearer, representative of CAST
Paul Bank Reporter, St. Louis-I have
been making a tour of this section of
the country and find that the banks
here will compare faVorably with any
section OF the country. AS rule they
are in very prosperous condition, and
their methods of conducting business
are sound, conservative and far sighted.
In fact, have met with bankers here,
who could give valuable pointers to
their confreres in the east. They are
thoroughly in line with the spirit of
progress and enterprise which I find
everywhere in Southern California, and
the day is not distant when they will
be able to induce eastern capitalists to
pour their millions in here for invest
ment purposes. Yes, sir, your bankers
in Southern California are a pushing,
wide awake set of men.
Bob Eckert-Among the surprises
which California has in store for eastern
tourists, and especially Englishmen, is
the California cookie. Britishers have
grown 80 accustomed to the tiny bivalve
which in England is served as the cookie
par excellence, that when they are
served with the large and fat and well
favored California cookie they 90 into
frenzies of epicurean delight. The Cali
fornia cookie is in the front row, and is
another element that adds luster to the
glories of this blessed state.
Clerk Bray, of the county clerks
office-Quite number of persons who
apply for marriage licenses supplement
the application with the request that
the same be withheld from the news
papers. OF course we can do nothing in
the way of suppressing the information,
but they think we ought to do so. As
rule we grow suspicious of the person
who wants to suppress the fact
that he or she is about to
be married. There is generally some
thing wrong. 1t may be that there is
decided discrepancy in the ages of the
couple, but as a general thing the man
or woman who wants to keep the
done a wrong in the past and is
afraid to let the marriage be known. My
word of advice to anv lady whose in
tending husband seeks to suppress the
publication of the license, is to 60 slow
Iy, and take few days to inquire into
the past life, the hidden antecedents of
the intending groom. 1t may save
good deal of trouble later on.
William Llewelyn, iron founder-It is
only question of time until great
manufactured iron producing center is
located somewhere in Southern Califor-
MIA. With the constant demand for
heavy structural materials arising from
the steadily increasing growth of the
building industries there will have to
be great increase in the number of
mills and foundries. When the road
from Salt Lake enters Southern Califor-
mia, tapping the immense iron ore beds
and coal fields lying along the route, we
will certainly have to establish some
where in the western foothills city of
smelling foundries, second Pittsburg
here in California.
Manager Lehman of the Grand opera
house-It pays to bring frst-class at
fractions to Los Angeles. Mr.. Jefferson
is we'll satisfied to come here, and his
business can be taken as an indication.
In four performances he played to over
$4,000, certainly splendid average for
each performance. Jefferson will return
here in March 1898 and play Rip Van
