Much Prominence.

An Advanced Institution of Learning OF
Much Prominence.
1t ia real cause for congratulation
that there ia such q place for higher
education as the Occidental college, just
touching the city on the east. The idea
which led to the establishing Of this
college was that thorough education re-
/ cognizeu the whole man or woman. In
the present trend OF the times there is
danger in some quarters that education
that develops the spiritual nature of
man will be overlooked. The founders
vi Occidental college believe in an edu-
cation that is thorough and exacting
from an intellectual standpoint, while
at the same time il is thoroughly Chris
tian-not sectArian, bat under religious
control. The curriculum is the came as
in most of the best eastern colleges. The
Instructors are graduates of eastern COL
lsges, and are persons of distinction in
their profession. The institution in
vites investigation as to the character OF
the work done, from any one interested.
The expenses are 80 reasonable that
they seem very low for what is offered.
Recently the debts of the institution
were reduced from $23, 900 to $4,000. the
board of aid for colleges of the Presby-
terian church giving $4,000 towards
this end. considerable portion
of the $4,000 is subscribed. The
last term of the sixth year of
the institution opened April Sd. with
an increase of students, and we are sure

THE Los ANGELES SCHOOLS,
A Fine Showing for Education
in This City.
AS Well Equipped as Any City of Its
Size.
Colleges and Private Schools Abound in
Addition to Very Excellent
Public School Service
In Los Angeles.

A perusal OF soma figures recently
prepared pertaining to the schools OF
Los Angeles county and city proves in
teresting and gratifying. In education
this city and county is keeping we'll up
in the front rank.
There are now 112 schools in the
county. The last school census showed
that there were $3.50 children in the
county between the ages of and IL
years. OF this number there is en-
rolled the astonishing proportion OF S3
per cent. or 81, ,433; but the average
daily attendance is less gratifying, be-
ing only 14,773, or 68 per cent of the
total number enrolled. This seems to
be a serious fault, which ought to be
remedied as far as possible. Still this
is an increase of 2 per cent over 1889,
when the largest enrolment, %. 327,
ever had in the county, was made. That
is. while the enrolment decreased per
cent the attendance increased per
cent.
There are 8.5 months of school term.
To support the county schools q tax of
l6 cents is levied on each 500 of az
sessed property. The sum of $3l3, 3,748
was received from state and county.
The total value of all school property is
81, 1876, ,638.
Among the many private schools of
the state, the Los Angeles Business
college, LA South Main street, stands
at the head in its class. Its teachers
are all experienced specialists in their
line, modern in thought and progressive
in methods; its rooms and appliances
are frst-class in fact. the whole institu-
ton seems to be pervaded by q spirit
of success and progress. Hundreds Of
young people 60 out from its halls
through life. The training received ia
intensely practical, and can be applied
in any department of activity.

FROM OTHER PLACES.

What the Towns and Cities Around Have
Done for la Fiesta.
The aid aud support which the other
cities and towns of Southern California
will give to la fiesta de Los Angeles
cannot be overestimated. 1t has been
at no time the intention of the Mer-
chants association OF Los Angeles to
make this carnival exclusive. 1t is q
Southern California affair.
The invitation to other places was
presented in such a way as to make
them understand that they were not
only invited to attend the carnival but
to become part OF it. 1t is not even
the intention to make the displays from
outside towns seperate features, but to
commingle everything into one grand,
gorgeous whole. At the same time the
floats from other cities are character
istic OF tine places which sent them.
For instance, the plat from San Diego
was devised by Mayor W. H. Carlson.
What more natural than that it should
present the magnificent bay OF San
Diego, to say nothing of the climate, and
that the perennial railroad running east
from San Diego should be there too ?
then, as the goddess OF the bay, Spanish
beauty, representative of one of the
oldest and most respected of the early
families of Southern California, Miss
Aguirre.
And down from Pomona comes the
picture of grand Old Baldy mountain,
snow-capped and colossal, the sentinel
of the peaceful valley lying at it's feet
And as a further symbol of the place
was the goddess of fruits and flowers.
Other places have sent floats as ex'
pressive as these, and school children,
Spanish cavaliers, militiamen, bands
and cadets. Indians, and with it al
crowds of spectators.
That is what the committee has
worked for and hoped for. The dis.
plays from outside places are to be
given all the recognition and attention
which can be accorded them. The peo-
Pile from abroad are to be welcomed and
treated in a hospitable, free hearted
way. 1t is desired that they should en-.
ter heartily into the festivities and help
to make the initial fiesta a grand sue.

ops fpger over his glove, and now in
full episcopal vestments and with the
full insignia OF Office he was escorted to

BY this time the magnificent rites
were nearing the end.
Bishop Montgomery gave his blessing
in episcopal FORM and the congregation
bowed low to receive his benison. He
passed around the church, followed by
Fathers Connolly and McGinty, bless
ing all as be moved along. Presently
the services we're over, and ss a glowing
professional hymn sweled from the or
gan the officiating ministers and attend
ants and priests left the altar.
The music MAS OF solemn nature,
churchly, without much of the light
quick movement OF operate masses,
and in excellent harmony with the cere-
monies.
Bishop Montgomery has not yet de-
cided upon the date of his removal to
Los Angslee. He will be here next
Sunday to perform a ceremony in this
city, and may not leave for some time
alter that day.

LOS ANGELES MEAT SUPPLY.

1t Requires $4,000 Head of Cattle for
Home Consumption.
The cattle inflr.aA~s, 30 -sss-4Snoru UHii=-
fornia is quite an important business,
and with the growth of Los Angeles is
developing into proportions OF consid-
erable magnitude. From w. R. Patter.
son, the buyer of Simon Mair, much in
formation is obtained in regard to the
extent and character OF the business as
now conducted. To supply Los Angeles
with fresh beef it requires about %, 900
head of CATTLE year, OF this numb Der
1900 to $1,000 are shipped in from Ari-
zona. during five months OF the year.
During the balance OF the year the cat.
tie are found in the seven southern
counties OF the state, The price paid
for Arizona cattle ranges from $40 to $35,
while those from this state are bought
at from $25 to $50. Taking the average
cost as basis and it foots up to $3.50, 900
which Los Angeles pays for beef each
year.
These cattle are nearly all fattened on
grass, and many on alfalfa. No corn
fed cattle are to be found for the reason
that corn is 80 high, as a rule, that 1t
does not pay to feed to cattle. AS q
COHbb4uouCO hllhlih 10 GU6 06Xb HuO9Gl-
tute, aud the cattle men are extending
their efforts in that direction. The
feeding of cattle on alfalfa is really in
its infancy yet, but there is no doubt
but that it will grow and be made very
profitable.
The Newhall Land and Farming
company. at Newhall, have As, 900 acres
ofland. Upon this big place they keep
upwards of 5000 head of cattle, and have
just begun to raise alfalfa to fatter them
with. Last year they sold 700 head of
cattle. Among the other big ranches
in Southern California is that owned by
Richard O'Neil, in San Diego county,
containing 2l6.000 acres, all under fence
and subdividsd. Upwards of $4,000
head of stock are kept on this place,
many of them being of the best grades.
The Chino rancho has 5000 head, J.
Bixby & Co., at Palos Verdes and Oirri-
tos, $4,000, and R. P. Streathearn of
Simi, 1000 head. Aside from those
sold in Los Angeles, many thousand
head are shipped to San Francisco.

100000 acres would, within five years,
yield an annual income of $500, 600. 900.
In 1890 the area of land irrigated in
the five counties of Los Angeles, San
Bernardino, Riverside, Orange and San
Diego was estimated at $50, QUO acres, or
nearly 5 per cent OF the area available
for horticulture outside of the desert
region. Since then the area has in
creased at least one-third, but it still
represents a very email percentage OF
the arid lands that may yet be trans.
formed into fourishing orchards and
vineyards, supporting a dense popula-
tion of prosperous horticulturists. There
are about 800 different systems of irriga-
tion works in these five counties.
