setting forth the eagerness Of the own
ers to part with their realty 10 enough
to deter any conservative stranger from
investing. Some people do not want to
buy what every body else desires to sell.
Such an exhibition in one Of the older
communities from which most OF our
visitors come. would indicate that the
bottom had dropped out" Of the place,
and that shortly the town would be de-
populated. OF course We know the con-
ditione here are different from what they
are "back east" and that realty is
bought and sold like wheat, as subject
Of speculaton but the average stranger
does not always size it up that way. An
other evil attendant upon the sign me-
thod, is that the numerous signs repre-
sents so many agents. Each agent US
ually quotes a different price, and the
result is that the intending purchaser
goes away in disgust. or concluding that
it is everybody's race, hunts up the
owner and purchases direct, thus caus-
ing dissatisfaction and bad feeling sill
around by keeping some one OF the
agents out OF well-earned commission.
The proper way for owners to dispose
OF their property is to place it in the
hands of single agent with instructions
not to deface it with sign boards. but to
push the sale by judicioua advertising
and diligent search for customers desir-
ing that kind OF realty, and when
sale is made to award the agent the
credit for the same and pay the commits
sion without controversy or attempt at
evasion.
The renl estate agents have done and
are doing more to develop this country
by persistent and intelligent advocacy
of its climatic and industrial advantages
than any other one class of men. and
those that are deserving and honorable
should receive the support and encour-
agement of the people owning realty.
The very least the people holding unim-
proved real estate can do while they
wait for the intelligence and enterprise
of the owners all around them to en-.
hance the values, is to keep the vacant
lots thus held out OF use, clean and
surrounded by neatly constructed and
properly maintained fences.

LONDON, Nov. 1.-THE continental
demand for gold reduced the Bank OF
England's bullion during the week by

somewhat. Business at the stock ex-
change continued moderate, but the
tone was decidedly better. The pros

possibility OF settlement of the apan.

pected to advance after the settlement.

CLIMATE IS EVERYTHING.

A recent number OF the United States
Investor, published in New York, con-
tains az entertaining article on Los An
geles city in which the writer declares
that while other causes may have con-
tributed in q degree to the making OF
this city, the one great factor which has
brought to this spot the majority of the
citizens is the unique one of climate.
He then proceeds to draw a comparison
between the Europesn cities that de-
, light in climate and Los Angeles, show
ing that the latter is not mere tourist
of people who desire to live in a mild
climate and yet under American insti-
tutions and among their own people,
Quoting DR.. Norman Bridge. who de-
clares that rs per cent OF the physical
annoyances OF life are abolished in this
climate, the United States Investor ar
ticle remarks that by this computation
"The thousand natural shocks that
flesh Ia heir to" are reduced to some
$50, "a species Of discount which will
strike the average mortal with increased
satisfaction % he feels the waning of his
youthful force and vigor."
1t may be going too far to say that
climate is everything, for q city 80 ad-
vantsgeously located would naturally +,
in course of time. be commercial cen
ter Of some size, and Los Angeles GER
tainly now has q number of other ad-
vantages that are quite independent of
its meteorological conditions; but there
is no doubt that climate is the fo2nda-
tion of ine'tenths of the prosperity OF
this section. Ii hereafter il should be
the case that other causes come into
play to carry Los Angeles forward to o
place among the great cities OF the
country it must not be forgotten that
the first and most important factor was
the climate.
Apropos OF this subject, it might be
noted thai the months OF September,
October and thus for November have
beer very nearly perfect-a lively con-
trast TO the state Of things in many Sec
tions beyond the Rockies. Clear, warm
days with jus. enough sun to make it
comfortable, and just enough breeze to
make it hracing, cool nights that call
for little extra cover end give sound
and healthful seep-these. instead OF
long cold rains. soggy, muddy soil, kill
ing frosts and occasional bowling biz
zarda, to all of which the eastern states
are now being treated-these are the lot
OF the fortunate Southern Californian.
1t is not strange that the people OF
this section are accused OF trying to
live on climate. 1t is generally good
enough to live on.

THE CUB ERNATORIAL VOTE.

The latest returns last night on the
gubernatorial vote were far from salts
factory to friends OF Mr.. Budd. for while
his plurality has not been greatly re-
duced in the past twenty.fo hours. the
most peculiar slowness in getting all the
returns in Is exasperating, and gives
rise to unpleasant possibilities.
The count gives Mr.. Budd plurality
OF 72S on the state. with 157 precincts
to hear from. OF the missing precincts
103 are in counties that went Republican
two years ago and 54 are in Democratic
counties.
In regard to the San Francisco vote
there is difference of opinion. In the
first place the returns from three pre-.
cincts are still missing. Why this is so
no one has vet explained. Registrar
Evans puts the Budd plurality in the
city at IL, $50, including the estimates of
the missing precincts. The Democratic
state central committee, on the other
hand. claims Budd plurality OF IL, ,70S !;
II the latter estimate prove to
be correct Mr.. Budd is safe be.
yond doubt. He is also safe
if the Sd missing precincts in Demo-
cratic counties keep up the same ratio
for him, ss the 103 which are in Repub-
lican counties do for Mr. Estee. To gain
a plurality Mr.. Estee would have to
make q gain OF eight votes each in the
103 supposedly Republican precincts,
to equal Mr.. Budd's vote in the 81
Democratic ones, or make an average
gain OF votes in each Of the 157 missing
precincts, an outcome which is more
than improbable. Most Of the missing
precincts are in northern counties where
there is every reason to assume that the
Republican vote is lessened and the
Democratic is increased il is therefore
reasonable to suppose that in the pre-
cinots that give Mr.. Budd plurality it
will be a much larger one than that given
Mr.. Estee in the others. So then, il
the proportional pluralities in the miss
ing precincts be the same. Mr.. Budd is
safely elected, and if. as should be the
case, the proportion Is largely in favor
of Mr.. Budd. his plurality in the state
will, under the circumstances, be very
satisfactory. On the whole, estimated
on the information at hand, it is reason
able to assume that Mr.. Budd will at
the worst, retain approximately his
present plurality when the returns are
all in; and it is likely to increase it to 3
thousand or over.

REAL EST1TE EYESORES.

Two radical reforms should be insti-
tuted by the real estate owners of this
city. One ia the abolition of the sign
method Of offering their property for
sale. and the other the cleaning up and
fencing of vacant lots. These changes
are demanded both by pocket policy and
good taste. The season is upon us when
the discontented essterner with plethoric
purse ventures this way, and one OF the
principal things we have to sell him is
the ''earth with the sppurtenances and
hereditaments thereunto belonging" /"
To sell this commodity easily, it should
be in presentable condition. The latter

THE rapiditv with which that Tenth
street hotel is being constructed reminds
us OF the Slkwood speed of the New
York Grant monument. This city needs
a real, frst-class hostelry and it needs
one right away. If the men who count
their wealth by hundreds of thousands
and who nave made it here by sitting
industriously still and watching the city
grow until the unearned increment OF
their real estate made them rich, have
not gratitude, enterprise or ssgacity
enough to erect and establish hotel
that would reflect credit on the city land
incidentally enhance further their own
p,opertes) and afford some reason for
people accustomed to the luxuries OF
modern hotel life coming here to spend
their money. a popular subscription
might be tried. We believe the owners
of vacant lots in this city could easily
ooneummate this desirable project.
Who will start the ball rolling?
