ALAMO PLAZA BURGLARY.
Webb's Candy Store Entered Yestcr-
day Morning and Cigars Stolen.

Saturday night after closing hours,
or rather yesterday morning, burglars
affected an entrance to Webb's candy
store on Alamo Plaza from the rear
door and attempted to rob the place,
but only succeeded in securing Il few
boxes of cigars.
An entrance was effected from the
rear door, the burglars using chisel
with which to pry the doors open. \
chisel was also used on the inside to
open the cash register, but the men,
being unacquainted with the working
of the register, did not get the cash
drawer open, only prying the cover
off. In the drawer was S1.4O which
was unmOlested.
Police Officer Sobieski was called in
yesterday morning by Mr.. Webb when
the discovery was made and he report
ed the matter to the detectives.

nous Old st. Louis RECORD.
The Light today publishes the cor
rect standing of the clubs of the Ma
tional Baseball league. The season
closes on October 3, and the race is
now becoming intensely Interesting,
Boston, which has been leading the
race for several weeks and at one
time was looked upon as a winner,
has been crowded out by Baltimore,
and the race has assumed an entnre-
ly different aspect. 1t seems natural,
however, for ii has been conceded all
along that Baltimore would win the
championship, until the team has
taken q slump, brought on by its
crippled condition, In the matter OF
choice, Texas shows preference for
Cincinnati from the fact that Cincin-
natl is a western city. Unless the
Reds take an unusually big squirt
their chances for the rag are over, and
ii wouldn't be safe to bet to say the
squirt will materialize. 1t is even a
hard question whether they will beat
out Boston for the cup series, and be-
fore any hopes of this kind can be en-
tertained they must first pass New
York. and "Scrappy" Joyce's men are
playing some bail themselves right
now. 1t is source of pleasure to see
Louisville crawling up, for the Colo

The herald., 1897-12-26

The growth of Los Angeles has been
phenomenal. 1t stepped rapidly to the
front as commercial center, and it de-
veloped it's wholesale trade so quickly
and established business relations with
all parts of Southern California, Arizona
and portions of New Mexico so solidly
that it's rapid growth was a necessity.
In seven years-from 1890 to 1S97-Los
Angeles more than doubled it's popula-
ton, increasing from $4,000 in 1890 to
103, 900 in 1897. This growth was the di-
rect result of the establishment of a
wholesale trade on a solid foundation.
FIVE GOOD REASONS
It's future rapid growth is also assured
for several reasons:
First-Thd country tributary to Los
Angeles is rapidly developing, its growth
during the past fifteen years having no
parallel anywhere in the United States.
AS the country grows the wholesale trade
must also grow, and the commercial CEN
ter where that wholesale trade is estab-
lished must of necessity keep pace with
the growth of the country.
Second-As a result of this wholesale
trade, backed by cheap fuel and cheap
water power, Los Angeles is attracting
to itself and vicinity factories which will
materially assist the wholesale trade and
help to build up manufacturing as we'll
as commercial center-and large city.
Third-The high-priced products Of the
soil of Southern California make feasible
much more dense rural population than
The herald., 1897-12-26
HELLMAN BLOCK

nitude of which no one dare as yet to
estimate, no section of the United States
has cheaper fuel than that so cheaply
pumped from the earth wherever in the
oil belt piped well is sunk to a depth of
one thousand feet.
Lowell and Minneapolis are manufac-
turing the shoes and the flour for mill
ions of people. Their factories are the
result of cheap water power, and yet
within radius of sixty miles from Los
Angeles the mountain streams will fur
nish this city more water power than
is used by either of those manufacturing
cities, and that power is being conducted
over wires to the commercial center and
the future manufacturing center of
Southern California.
When city once becomes wholesale
trading center, or what is usually termed
commercial center, it's future is as
sured. No commercial city of hun
dred thousand inhabitants has ever
stopped growing or has grown slowly
within the history Of the United States.
except where rival cities with superior
advantages, backed by superior energy,
have DETECTED the channels of trade
There are numerous cities in the United
States ranging in size from $4,000 to
100000 population, which have grown
slowly for years past, but such cities
have never been engaged in wholesale
trade, and they are not, therefore,
properly classified as commercial CEN
ters.
The herald., 1897-12-26

drains, supply Of pure spring water
has been obtained for the city that will
suffice until the population reaches a
limit Of 100000.
Primarily, the water Is obtained from
the mountain attitudes, either as rain or
melted snow, and Is gathered at the
base of the foothills in the San Fernan-
do valley, and there stored in gravel
beds. BY filtration through these puri-
flying areas, 1t reaches a lower level, in
which 1t is confined, as in an immense
storage reservoir. From these natural
storage places the supply is collected in
an almost endless ganglion of open
jointed pipes, which traverse the entire
area. From the fountain head to the
distributing reservoirs for the several
city divisions the water is led through
closed conduits, underground tunnels or
metallic pipes. The storage capacity Of
the plant Is about 65,000.00O gallons, dis
tributed among six reservoirs. There are
use In the city daily about 100000 gal
Ions, or nearly $50 gallons per capita, at
u cost of about cents per 1000 gallons.
In addition to furnishing water free to
all public institutions, the company sets
up all hydrants free and furnishes the
fire department and Jail. besides the
street sprinkling and sewer flushing SER
vice.
Just fourteen years ago Los
Angeles abandoned gas for purposes of
street Illumination and adopted electric
ity. This is especially notable, for it
was the first city, save one, in the United
States to do so.
THEOPHILE COLVILLE.
The herald., 1897-12-26

Again, the land under irrigation today
only produces from one-third to one
fifth of crop, as the bulk of the orch
ards of Southern California are only
in partial bearing and only small acre
age is in what might be termed full bear
ing. When the trees that are now planted
in orchard farms are in full bearing the
fruit crop will be fully four times as large
as any fruit crop yet gathered. What,
then, will be the returns when these
orchards are in full bearing, and when
the land not irrigated is made to produce
full crops?
When the crops are ten times what
they are today, will not the population
have increased ten fold also?
What kind of a city will Los Angeles
be then?
THE MARKETS OF THE FUTURE
But what of the market? The markets
of the United States have always taken
care of all the crops raised, and is it not
fair to assume that they always will :?
1t is true that low prices occasionally
prevail during times of general business
depression, but they come up again when
business prosperity again returns. It is
true that market is occasionally over
stocked temporarily, but increased con-
sumption always follows increased pro-
duction.
DIVERSITY OF CROPS
All of the soil of Southern California is
not going to be devoted to the raising of
oranges on any other one farm or Or
The herald., 1897-12-26

chard product. Each year sees greater
diversity of crops, and each year in the
future will see larger list of staple ar
ticles raised on our ranches. No section
Of the world can produce profitably
larger list of soil products.
BEET-SUGAR INDUSTRY
A few years ago-less than a decade
there was not to be found a pound Of
beet sugar manufactured in Southern
California. This year the output will be
10000 tons-2000 carloads, and one year
hence this output will be doubled, and
yet this will be but drop in the bucket
towards supplying the people Of the
United States with sugar.
This country annually sends $1o0, ,000,-
900 in gold to foreign countries for sugar,
and yet there is enough government land
in Southern California suited to the
growth of the sugar beet to supply all
the sugar used beneath the Stars and
Stripes.
Does this look like an eXtravagant
statement? Let the reader examine the
100000 acres of choice land along the
Colorado river in California. This land
can be had for $1.25 per acre, and it can
be irrigated by the waters of the Col
orado river. And there are other lands.
The orange crop has been considered
the great leading crop of Southern Cal
ifornia, and yet the year 1898 will give
to the world from this section of the
| state a sugar crop almost equal in value
to any orange crop yet marketed, and
this sugar crop will be easily sold, and
it will not be in danger of meeting an
overstocked market.
Southern California today has two beet
sugar factories with capacity of 1900
tons of beets per day. One year hence
the capacity will be 5000 tons per day.
This increase is already assured. What
