tribute the fact of their leaving San
Diego to any particular cause further
than the general desire of progressive
people to seek a center of population.
You will observe that the small towns
surrounding this city all contribute their
share of people to swell its population.
When the small towns begin to get dull,
the energetic men get restless and in the
end pull up stakes and come to Los An
geles. This place has shown no partic-
ulsr business depression during the past
year, and one reason for this is because
of the large element who have arrived
here from the surrounding places to
assist in its progress"

A Day speut In Additional Preliminary
Skirmishing.
The taking OF testimony in the Pratt
will contest did not begin yesterday
morning as anticipated. Additional
preliminary skirmishing took place.
The attorneys for the contestants and
the petitioners made long arguments
upon the question of jurisdiction over
the case. The attorneys for the con-
testants claim that Judge Clark should
decide, before the taking of testimony
in the case before the jury, whether he
or Judge Coffey should decide the ques-
ton of Jurisdiction. The attorneys for
the petitioners for the probate OF Mrs.
Pratt's will contended that Judge CLARK
had jurisdiction OF the case.
The arguments on both sides were
comprehensive, and perfect storm o.
legal precedente were hurled at Judge
CLARK during the day, the jury being
excused until this morning for the pur.
pose of allowing the argument.
