value OF property, both business and
residence. is steadily advsncing-not by
erratic and unreasonable strides as oc-
CURED in the time of the boom. but by
q natural enhancement of value growing
out OF the needs of the community, for
business room and for homes.
The building boom shows no signs OF
diminution. An average OF from four
to five building permits are issued
daily, and the years contracts will
probably show total OF something like
50, zoe, 900. The peculiar part OF the
building work this year is that there
have been no large individual under
takings, hut the great bulk of work
done has been on medium. sized homes
and small business blocks that show the
truest and most natural prosperity for
the city in which they are constructed.
The sudden development of consider
able oil interests in the city, while it has
proved detriment to certain sections OF
the city for residence purposes, seems
likely to be Of great ultimate benefit to
the city. With oil at figure that makes
it the equivalent of coal at SO to 81 ton,
there is no reason why Los Angeles
should not become manufacturing con-
ter for Southern and Central California,
and for Arizona, New Mexico and much
OF Nevada and Utah. Railway connec-
tions into these latter states is only a
question OF time. and q short time at
that.
1t is such conditions as these that
cause ue to declare we are now actually
in the midst of boom more valuable to
this section than that of 1887. even 1--WE
should leave out of the calculation the
many undoubted drawb backs by which
the latter was accompanied.
The herald., 1894-11-11

In TIE Evening Express of Friday, in
its local account OF the election returns,
occurs what in any other paper would
be a remarkable inaccuracy. to the
effect that DR.. Choate, the fusionist, only
leads Hewitt, the straight Democrat, by
1000 votes. The facts are, of course,
that DR.. Choate, the Democratic nomi-
nee for coroner. and Mr.. Campbell, the
Republican, made their fight on the
basis of straight contest between a
Democrat and Republican, as the
Peoples party had no candidate. DR..
Choate should have the credit of his
fine run. particularly as he carried
Campbell's precinct and ward as we'll as
the city by handsome majority.

FACTS ABOUT CALIFORNIA.

He who. in praieing California. over.
states facts. or in any manner leads
others to think this region is "a verita.
BILE paradise" does it an injury, accord-
ing to the extent of his influence. 1t
cannot be truthfully said that California
is perfect land. Perfection cannot be
found in any portion of the known
earth. He who permits himself to think
differently, "listens with credulity to
the whispers of fancy and pursues with
eagernesa the phantoms of hope" Cal.
ifornla has some draw backs some physi.
cal imperfections. which nobody should
attempt to deny or paliate. But when
everything is taken into account, an i'm.
partial comparison will demonstrate that
California is superior in natural advanr-
ages to every other portion of
The United States. We cay this
