Mrs. Van Rensselaer, Objects to Latin

the influence of the association should
be exerted to place children in public

and was only granted after vast
amount of opposition. The favorite ar
guments used against it were that it
spoiled ladies' compilations, produced
color blindness, had a bad effect upon

and kept the chickens awake all night.
10 1880, according to the TTni'ed States
ce sus, Los Angeles had a opnlatior of
a. little over 11,000. There was consider
able growth during the next few months
and when the Santa Fe railroad came in
in 1885, it was estimated there were prob
ably $4,000 inhabitants.
The entry of the Santa Fe marks the
era of unrivaled prosperity which has
since been the lot of Los Angeles.
By a contract with the Southern Pa
cific the Santa Fe run it's trains into the
city from Cotton in November, 1885, and
continued doing so until it's own track
from San Bernardino was laid, which
was in June, 1887.
At the beginning of the boom in the
fall of 1886, it is estimated that there
were 10000 people in Los Angeles. There
was not a foot of street paving in the en-
tire city. What street car lines there
We're, except the Second and Temple
street cable roads, We're horse power
There was but one building south of
First street, with the exception of the
Nadeau. on the southwest corner, more
than two stories in height, and that was
the Callaghan block, at the southwest
corner of Spring and Third streets.
There was not a single business house on
Broadway, then Fort street, which was
ungraded south of Second street. This
was in 1886. and the Pico street electric
road was the only line of the kind in the
city, and that was failure.
The change since that time has been
little short of marvellous. Streets have
been graded and paved; sections that in
1886 were mustard fields are now covered
with palatial residences; Broadway is
now one of the handsomest business
streets in the country; magnificent busi-
ness blocks now occupy the sites that t
that time were covered by one-story
adobes and frame buildings; system of
cable roads has been built up in the
meantime, and is now giving place to
one of the best electric systems in the
country, with fully equipped compet-
ing electric line; an electric road con-
meets Los Angeles and Pasadena, with
competing lines to the seashore resorts;
the handsOmest court house and city
hall in the state have been built. In
fact. in ten years Los Angeles has been
at least 100000 inhabitants, with every
modern convenience and improvement,
and is still progressing at rate in ex-
cess of any other municipality of equal
size in the world. With this record, who
can say what quarter of a century will
bring forth?

Local Manufacturing

In country of such wonderful re-
sources, where profitable results are
so quickly obtained from Mother Earth
as is the case in Southern California, it
is not to be wondered at that for a
time little attention was paid to manu-
factories. AS the country developed
rapidly, and with nearly a million con-
sumers adjacent to Los Angeles, and all
of easy access by splendid train service,
capital soon began to give it's attention
to supplying home demands rather than
depend upon the east entirely for arti-
cles of daily AT first conditions were
such as to confine the efforts to such
articles as could be manufactured with
the least possible cost for fuel With
coal at more than double the cost to the
Pittsburg or other eastern iron mills,
such industry could not be expected to
compete in Los Angeles against the ma
tural advantages offered in other states
High-cost fuel for time shut out many
profitable industries. However, this
has been changed within the past two
years. Since the discovery of an abund-
ant supply of fuel oil within the city
limits, backed by unlimited and as yet
undeveloped oil fields, which assure a
never failing supply, manufactures
have sprung up like magic. Factories
and mills that were able to make a fair
profit even with high priced fuel are
now veritable gold mines.

All of these fruits, also vegetables,
yield abundantly and find a ready. mar
ket a. good prices. Thousands of car
loads are shipped from Southern Califor-
mia every year. fresh, dried and canned.
The net returns from an acre Of these
fruits after they come into full bearing,
say from five to seven years from plant
ing, may safely be calculated under or
dinary circumstances at from $100 to $3.50
per acre. Meantime, from vegetables
grown between the orchard trees the
settler can make good living. The eX-
port business from tomatoes, green peas,
string beans and chilli peppers from these
ranches in winter to eastern and other
points is already of large proportions.
At Christmas very high prices are real
lied in carload lots sent to the far east
upon fast trains.
1t has been proved that an industrious
family may make good living from q
ten-acre lot and have a good bank ac-
count besides. When it is considered
that in this section such a life includes
beautiful scenery and in the society of
refined and intelligent neighbors, to-
gether with educational and religious
privileges, it should scarcely be neces-
sary to say more to induce any man to
come here, take home and grow UP
with the country.
To those who do not care to purchase
lands and set out orchards and await
their bearing, lands are frequently Of
fered for sale which have young orchards
already started and which will come into
bearing within one, two or three years

oranges. From six to seven crops can be
raised annually, worth from So to Sc per
ton at the very lowest price and al
ways in demand. This crop is always
spot cash and the market always hun
cry. No delay need be provided for in
this industry as in fruits. 1t means an
income from the start.

This is not to the credit OF the

been honored with the highest Of
flee in the gift of the people should
not be allowed to give up all con-
nection with public affairs. He

against the adoption of the propo-
sitioA to make our ex-Presidents

enough money during his term of
