or course the eastener who comes here
for the first time wants to take In all the
side trips to the various points of inter-
est in this part of! the country, and we
have noticed that business In this direc-
tior has been extremely light this
year."
In reply to the question as to how he
accounted for the shortness OF the tour
ist crop, the reply was received that 1t
was not to be accounted for. There are
several causes that have probably con-
duced to this condition. In the first
place, until business affairs become a
little more settled people will not feel
like goirg to the expense incidental to
a trip to this coast. This is perhaps the
principal cause, and then. again, as was
said before, the mild winter in the east
undoubtedly has something to do with
it,; but. at any rate, there is no use try
ing to get around the fact that there are
not so many people here as Is usual at
this time of the year"
The business done at the hotels this
winter has been very good. A hotel man
said: "Our house has been we'll filled
ever since the winter set In, and notice
that great many of our guests are peo-
pie who have spent the winter in Cali
fornia before. For my part, cannot see
but that the season is about the same as
usual as far as tourist arrivals are con-
cerned 4"

'smugglers" of cigars from Cuba or
Canada periodically worked every city
ana town and reaped rich harVests by
playing on the cupidity of their victims
in leading them to think that because
they were buying cigars that had paid
no custom duty they were getting
bargain.
Last week a man pretending to be
sailor and Mexican, but who may have
been neither, prowled around in offices
ana panks of Los Angeles, and when he
could get chance to speak confiden.
TALLY TO some man in the place he told
MN ne was second mate or some other
subordinate officer on board some par
ticular steamer that had Just come from
Ensenada, Lower California. He had
brought with him a large box of the
finest Mexican cigars, which were worth
seven or eight cents apiece, but he would
sell them cheaper. He had smuggled
these cigars into the country, and now
he wanted to sell them so he could go
pack 10 mis- vessel. To prove the quality
or the cigars he split one open length
wise, showed it to be long filled" and
gave another to his prospective pur-
chaser with an invitation to "fumar."
The samples being satisfactory, a bar
gain was struck up ,and one or two
hundred cigars changed ownership. the
dealer always binding his customer to
secrecy.
The price of these cigars in a Spring
street store was, by sharp bargaining
cut down to three cents apiece, and in
railroad office only a little way dis
tant quantity from the same lot went
at two cents Other business men bought
from 50 to 2b0 of these smuggled cigars
at prices ranging from two to five cents.
They know better now.
The first cigars they sampled out of
hnllphf Or va bac
The things were the rankest weeds ever
made and would be dear at cent apiece
at country fair. Realizing that they
had been duped, some of the victims in
vestigated and found that the supposed
smuggler paid a regular peddler's IL
cense and his wares We're the rankest
things on earth that never had chance
to be smuggled.
rms IS why so many Los Angeles
business men, bankers and railroad
passenger agents, have of late displayed
such liberality in giving away cigars.
