LONG BEACH, July 15.-The great
influx of visitors has already nearly filled
every hotel and private boarding house
here. One Of the greatest needs OF Long
Beach is tirst-class hotel. Nature has
done her share TO place Long Beach at
the head of the list OF seaside resorts of
the state. Her beach is smooth as floor
for miles, furnishing unsurpassed bathing
facilities. Her climate is in keeping
with that OF all Southern California re-
sorts. Her agricultural facilities are al
most unlimited The Alamtos Land and
Water company arc developing a con-
siderable tract and showing some of the
possibilities of the surrounding country.
There is no reason why Long Beach
should not be IN 1900 the most popular
summer resort in Southern California.
But to become this, her citizens must be
awake and ready to seize every oppor-
tunity to advance the interests of their
community.
Chautauqua is doing more to advertise
Long Beach than any scheme that could
be organized by her citizens. The South
ern California assembly has been greatly
hampcrd in the past by mum bel of cir
cumstances. hut work OF the future is very
bright. The railroads ale beginning to
recognize that they should do their share
of advertising. and next year il is hoped
that much better train service will be
given.
A II during the day visitors have been
arriving and been busy in making ar
rangements for their entertainment, or
finding location for tenting. Shady lots
are quite in demand.

assembly of 1875.
Prof. {. S. Cornell and Mr.. j. H. Zinck
sang The Fisherman, by Gabrini, in their
best manner. The management have
shown good judgement in securing these
musicians. Tney will prove a very at
tractive and creditable feature of the pro-
gramme.
DR.. 8. II. Weller, the president, then
made u few remarks. recalling the PAST
work OF the assembly and the prospects
for the future. He expressed especially.

doctor to his contract. but it proved un-

is considered the best yet offered.
The reading of A Critical Examination
