States has been suffering from one OF
the eeverest financial depressions ever
felt in thirty-six years. Asmall volcano
broke even here and smoked for day or
two. Her terra frma soon ceased tren-
bling. The records of the Los Angeles
clearing house show decided superiority
in the percentage of business over those
of all the other cities in the United
States. Los Angeles today is in the
best financial and materially prosperous
condition of any other city in the union,
even Chicago not excepted.
The reason for this all is her ability to
sustain herself from her own resources
when all others are cut off. The post
railroad period has not only witnessed
great improvement in the local irriga-
tion system, but has witnessed the
development of scores OF surrounding
irrigation colonies, of which space for
bids more than an allusion. These col
onies are all tributary to--in fact, are
parts of-Los Angeles. San Fernando,
Pasadena, Azusa, Pomona, Ontario,
San Bernardino, Redlsnds, Riverside,
Anaheim, Santa Ana and Downey are
just as much suburbs Of Los Angeles as
are Fruitlsnd. Vernon or University.
The prosperity of Los Angeles is based
upon the substantial foundation of irri-
cation. 1t can never be destroyed ex-
cept by ssme great natural cataclysm.
The destiny of Los Angeles is three
fold: First, the capital OF the state Of
South California; second, the metropo.
lis OF the Colorado basin third, the en-
trepot Of oriental and occidental COM
merce. For this glorious fate she is
prominently fitted by location, climate
and resources.
These natural conditions make possi-
BILE the building here OF one of the great
cities of the world, manifestation OF
the highest civilization. The golden
age ia to come. As Babylon, Baalbec,
Palmyra, Thebes, and other great cities
of ancient civilizations were founded on
irrigation and left unfading glories, so
will Los Angeles become civilized
center, in the best meaning of the term,
whose glories and ecstscies will only be
less than those of the New Jerusalem.
Happy the people whose lines are cast
in such pleasant places.

IRRIGATION OUR FOUNDATION.

The convention of irrigators which
will meet in Los Angeles on the 10th
inst, will not be the last international
ody to assemble here.
Los Angeles is natural center of
be civilization. Of the southwestern
uarter of the United States. To her
lest and south pulses the mighty
uosom of the broad Pacific ocean. To
ner north great mounta;ns shut off the
last vestige of Arctic chill. On the
east grand passes open through the
everlasting hills for her lines of COM
merce.
Los Angeles is the only natural open
ing for the grand Colorado basin to the
highway of nations-the ocean. She is
five hundred miles nearer the great
centers OF eastern civilization than her
northern rival-the Toll-Taker-by-the-
Sea. She has plenty of vitality in her
immediate surrounding country, rich
with fertile soil and we'll irrigated.
It is her irrigation facilities that have
made Los Angeles the natural capital
of Southern California ever since her
foundation in 1881. Her irrigated coun-
try is what has enabled Los Angeles to
get through every cycle of financial de-
preston by which she has been beset.
It has always been her last great and
never failing resource.
While other places have been ground
almost to dust and powder between the
upper and neither millstones of "bu'sted
booms" and subsequent hard times,
Los Angeles has never actually been
crushed.
There is no record of an Angelefio ever
having starved to death. In the early
history Of the pueblo one of the pobladoreI
or colonists was unable to buy shirt
although he was the owner of real estate
and considerable amount of persona
property in the shape OF several hundred
head of horses and neat cattle. Tht
reasons the historian gravely gives are
First, the colonist had no money to buy
q shirt; and, secondly, there was NJ
cloth in the country for that purpose
Still they had plenty to eat and drink
Their herds afforded flesh; the vine
yards and orchards drink and fruit
their fields grains and vegetables. A
to shelter, they had the same incom
parable climate which we now have.
During all the hard times of Spanish
and Mexican rule Los Angeles slowl,
but steadily grew in population ant
wealth.
After the great mining boom OF a
and 80 in Northern California ha'
burst, her citizens returned home. Al
through the long years OF the anti-rail
road period Los Angeles continued t
grow.
The coming of each of the two trans
continental railroads has been attende
by a real-estate boom. Their undu
initiation of realty prices likewise affecte
other values, which corresponding
suffered with the subsequent contrae
tione.
The city has nobly rallied from ever
sinking spell, revealing invincible v
tality. The last boom the one {
lSS6-7-was one of the greatest financii
puff.balls that ever grew in the world
historical soil Los Angeles was th
ssterm-center yet when the cyclon
went by she still lived.
