SEE HOW WE GROW

The figures and statements furnished bv
Charles l.. Strange, city superintendent
of buildings, make remarkable show
ing, and one of which every Southern
Californian should be proud. Out Of a
selected list of ten representative cities.
Los Angeles stands at the head Of the list
as regards the value OF the building per.
mits issued. Under some circumstances
such com uarjson might not be of value
But in this instance the cities selected
are representative ones of their particu-
lar section. they are ST. Paul Pittsburg
Cincinnati, New Orleans. Washington,
Kansas City, Minneapolis and Denver.
Now st. Paul and Minneapolis are whole
sale centers for a populous section; Pitts
burg is the blacksmith shop OF the whole
country. its workmen being among the
best paid in the country and should be
classed as "home builders" And thus
We might go through the whole list and
yhow that each city has some 81 ecial
reason why it should make good
showing in the aggregate of building per
mits for any given month. Yet Los An
geles stands at the head of the list with
total of $685. 800, and St. Paul next, 1857, :
225.

REPORTER WARREN

Redlands Citrograph: Reporter Warren
of The Los Angeles Herald has been fined
$500 by Judge Clark of the superior court
for contempt OF that august body. War
rem was detailed to get himself commit,
ted to the Highland insane asylum that
he might write it up. Warren got himself
arrested by playing crazy, but was de-
tected before commitment. Hence the
"contempt." 1t looks as if the Judge
was a little off. Warren did nothing more
than has been done scores of times and is
being done every day. 1t is the only way
the inside history of public institutions
can be made public. We do not believe
the supreme court will sustain this Judi
cial decision.
Norwalk Call; Harry Warren. the
Herald renorter, refuses proffered
freedom and proposes to stay
through the proceedings. 1t appears
Judge Clark had it in for him." SO no
amount OF arguments or atiidavits would
avail in the case To use common ex.
preston. he'd had it all "cut and dried''
for Warren, even expressing himself SO
before the trial came off. II seems that
Judge Clark was completely taken in by
a newspaper reporter and felt chagrined
thereat. and proposed TO get even with
hIu. We are inclined to think he was O
little hasty and severe. but of course we
may be mistaken. He seemed to have
placed a broader construction upon the
meaning of the term contemnt of court
than the code does.

NEyADA's STRANGE DELUsION

The following is from the Juno issue of
the Irrigation Age. 1t is written by
staff representative who made an extend
ed tour of the Pacific coast states. and his
story is written from an impartial stand
point. He says:
Nevada has the smallest population OF
any state in the union. 1t is the only
state west of the Allegheny mountains
which has ever shown a record OF decreas-
ing population. And yet perhaps no
state could more easily develop Its re-
sources and swell the number uf its IN
habitants. The greatest lack in Nevada
in the lack of public spirit. 1t has been
said so many times that this state is
worthless that large majority OF its peo-
pie appear to believe it. The strangest
thing about the whole matter is that
everybody thinks the restoration of her
prosperity is to be secured only by the re-
vival of the old mining activity. and yet
anyone who takes this view must shut
his eyes to facts written in lesible char
acters upon every page of Nevada's MIS-
tory. Such prosperity as the mining in
vada has enjoyed beyond all other locali-
ties. Did it make her rich? No, it made
her poor. Her wealth was steadily
drained to build palaces in San Francis
co. New York and London, and to re-
cruit the waning fortunes of unworthy
both precious metals, but mining made
Nevada neither rich, nor popuious, nor
respected. And vet NevadanS as a people
see nothing in this world to hope for, or
work for, except the return of the good
old mining days. Nevada has built
enough palaces in distant cities. What
she needs now is to build hum BILE houses
by the thousand in her beautiful valleys.
There is world of truth in the above.
I hon for =
isfied to raise but one crop, be it wheat
Or corn or fruits. Nowadays the tend
ency is toward diversity of crops. The
principle involved is that the condi tions
which bring about crop failure of one
product may be Just what was needed to
give an abundant yield of another. What
is true IN the instance of the individual
farmer holds good with the community,
also with the state.
There was time when California de-
pended largely on her gold mines for her
wealth. Had she stuck to mining as her
one vocation she would today be in prac-
tically the same position as Nevada. IL
is the great divelsity,of her products that
makes California the wealthy state she
is and that gives her rank as CONNER
cial state of Importance. To come little
nearer to home, what would Los Angeles
amount to if she depended upon miners
for her trade? Under present conditions
she has developed into one of the most
beautiful and prosperous cities not only
il California, but in the United States.
It would pay the boards of trade in Ne
vada to send delegates to Los Angeles to
take few object lessons.

Alas for the rarity

Under the sun!

In whole city full
Home she had none!
Ssterly, brotberly,
Fatherly. motherly
Feelings had changed.
Love by harsh evidence
Thrown from its eminence,
Even Gods providence
Seeming estranged,
Perishing gloomily,
Spurned by contumely,
Burning insanity,
Cold inhumanity,
Into her rest!
Cross her hands hum bly,,

Over her breast!
Owning her weakness,
Her evil behavior,
And leaving with meekness
Her sins to her Saviour.

HOW THE EDITORS VIEW 1T

Lord Salisbury, summoned by the
queen, refuses to assume the task of form
ing a ministry. because he cannot secure
from Lord Rosebery and the Liberal party
assurances that supplies will be voted to
maintain the credit of the new govern
ment until the marquis thinks the tim e
ripe for an appeal to the country. The
Liberals likewise declined to agree to the
return of his cabinet ministers without op-
position.
There is but one course open. The
queen will summon Lord Rosebery and
ask him to continue the government.
According to unwritten law this will pre-
cipitate immediate dissolution. The
Liberal programme was to give the relns
into the hands OF Lord Salisbury and
compel him to announce definite policy
for his government. In refusing to grant
his requests the Liberals have blunaered
They have surrendered every advantage
to Salisbury. In the elections. soon to
come, his followers will attack and the
Liberals must defend. The plans of
their opponents are unknown 10 them be-
