10 this line, rs spring lamb is luxury

this fact is TO be borne in mind by farm
ers who have facilities for producing this
class Of meat
The massts call fer another class of mut'
ton. They want lamb for say siI to twelve
u ouihs old, for the reason, first that il is
cheaper than spring lamb. and second, it
is more tender and juicy than the meat OF
aged wethefs, for which the retailers ask
as high price. 1t follows then that the
great majority Of those who furnish nut

and when tie crop is gathered, many will
get more than they bargain for. Trees

years, and the earlier varieties oftener. /
account for this from the fact that the ear

never was any other product which varied

ACQUISITION OF RENTS.

We hear complaints of the rents being
too high in the best business portions OF
the city. 1t is even said that in choice
places they are higher than in similar
localities in San Francisco. However
this may be, exorbitant rents must
eventually work their own cure in a
city which is not, by its peculiar topog-
raphy, limited in the space at its COM
mand for the development of business
localities. Los Angeles is peculiarly for
tunate in this respect. Business has an
almost unlimited territory over which
it can spread. Any one who has care

center of this city for the past thirteen
OF fourteen years cannot fail to have been
impressed with the fact that it has been
steadily moving southwark. In 1880
Temple block was the center of bust.

First and Spring and Main streets. 1t
then took another step, and went as far
as Second street, and the erection OF
Stimson's fine block is drawing it
toward Third street. The march has
been patent to all eyes. The rents that
ruled at Temple street in 1880 are not
attainable now, and it is question
whether the high rents then demanded
did not contribute to expedite the
march of the business center farther
down. May not the same expe-
rience repeat itself if the land
lords OF the present center pur-
sue the unwise policy that was
pursued by those who owned property
in the vicinity of Temple street in 1880 ?
As against this may be placed the prob
ability that the population of the city
will grow more rapidly in the next
decade than it has in the past. The
