A SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA INDUSTRY

About the first thing the shrewd East
ern business man inquiries after when he
comes to Southern California to locate is
as to our manufacturing resources. He
has been so accustomed to the daily
march of the "tin buck ct brigade that
he cannot conceive of any permanent pros
perity which is not based on smokestacks
and the clatter of machinery. He must
see mills, and foundries and coal mines
and machine shops, o. he cannot realize
substantial support for the multitudes
which go to make up the population OF
city. But mills and mines are only use
full to city as p oducers of dollars which
the population Will spend with butcher
and grocer. and any other form of honest
production is just as profitable and salts
factory to the storekeeper if he gets the
trade and the money
1t has been estimated on a conservative
basis that the city OF Los Angeles con-
tains at least two thousand heads of fam
lilies having an income of from seventy
five to one hundred and fifty dollars per
month from stock dividends, interest on
loans, rents from houses and city prop
erty, all located in Eastern states. No
other city in the United States of equal
population has any such proportion OF di-
rect revenue from abroad, and it is
source of wealth just as reliable as coal
mines, pillow shops, or cotton mills. So
long as our matchless climate makes this
a desirable spot for the business or pro-
fessional man, along the shady side of
fifty to come to with his family. so long
will this source of wealth continue. This
form of income is pouring into the cof-
fers OF the Los Angeles banks about two
hundred thousand dollars per month, a
total of two and one half millions per
year. and all of it expended here in the
purchase of real estate. in the erection of
new buildings, and in the purchase of the
necessaries and uxuries of life.
And while Los Angeles has this source
of wealth, which is rarely affected by
strikes or hard times, or bad crops, we
should provide for our citizens clean and
we'll paved streets, system OF public
parks worthy Of the name, delightful
drives to the mountains and to the sea, a
great university and the best system of
public schools in the United States. a
constantly increasing public library, and,
eventually. magnificent temple OF art |
and music.

Just Like Farmers

No, there is no news today" said
Superintendent Muir of the Southern Pa
citic as he pensively gazed ont OF his
middle of the Arcade depot approach.
There was nothing in sight but wet. The
rain was falling on the just and the un-
just. and the latter, as rule, had the
umbrella and macintosh which the for
mer should have possessed. This means
a splendid year, and plenty Of freight"
and a comfortable smile spread over his
amiable countenance, but, and here he
frowned, 1.-THE chances are that there will
be no market for anything"
The incident illustrates the fact that it
is as hard for railroad man to be salts
fled as it is for farmer. For instance, a
number of grangers in the city yesterday
held that Eyes, it's nice rain, but it
will lodge lots of barley. and then it will
likely rust the wheat, and they do say
that a rain now will make Oranges soft
and puffy
