If mans disobedience to the laws of his
Maker brought upon him the evil and curse of
excessive toll it is reasonable to say that re-
turn to the path of obedience viii bring with
it relief from such toll. When all men love
their neighbors as themselves everybody will
receive his just share of the fruits OF his toll,
and universal humanity will reverently bow

1t is singular anomaly that although Cali
fornia is an agricultural State, devoting but
little attention to manufactures, nearly three
quarters OF its population reside in cities and
towns. That is not q natural or healthful
condition. 1t is caused in part by the large size
OF the ranches and the State can never expect
TO make the best of its resources and support
large rural population until the ranches are
subdiyided into small farms.

San Francisco's objection to tall buildings
looks like little bit of jealousy on the part OF
those who are too stingy to build them. If you
dare not do thing yourself hold back the man
who does dare, and then you'll not be left in
the shade by his superior enterprise. If these
men who want to improve are restrained of
their liberty in San Francisco let them come
TO Los Angeles-We want improvements here.

1t really looks as though Astoria, after wait

connection with the rest of the world. Had
the road been built twenty years ago there
might have been some doubt as to which was

ls concerned, the iron was not struck when hot
and therefore it is not improbable she will al.
