County Schools

The rapidity with which Los Angeles
county has developed from a county Of
low class to that Of being the second in
the state has called forth the astonish-
ment Of all observing people. The lands
have been speedily converted from
wastes into beautiful fields, orchards
and gardens, while the meagre hut Of
cane and cornstalks, or the more sub
stantial ones OF adobe, have given place
to the more imposing structures of mod
ern design and architecture.
The population has, in few short
years, multiplied itself many times, there
having been periods of growth SO rapid
as to be almost confusing. Cities, towns
and villages have sprung into existence
fully equipped with schools, Libraries and
churches, and presenting all of the char
acteristics and evidences Of a culture
which has required century to perfect
in many older states Of the union.
Among the special features of this
rapid development has been the public
school system of the county. A few
short years ago and the only schools in
the county were those connected with
the two or three old Catholic missions.

tent that other food could not be as
simulated. The test proved satisfactory
and many tons are now shipped annual
ly to London. American physicians have
endorsed the taro flour as a health foo6
of the most delicate quality, and pos.
sessing very great amount of nutri-
ton. To manufacture the flour the roots
are dried, pounded into fragments and
then ground in mills of special manu-
facture for the purpose. 1t is of grayish-
blue color, slightly granulated like corn
meal, and is pleasant to the taste.
Attempts have been made several
times to start factories for the manu-
facture of perfumes and essences, but
in each case the manufacture scarcely
passed the experimental stage. There
is plant at Riverside, and an amateur
has met with some success at Santa
Barbara, but an establishment fitted
with the most approved appliances, and
under the charge of experienced chem
lists is much to be desired, and would
reap a certain reward. With flowers
that can with the greatest ease be grown
by the acre, as in the Roumanian rose
fields, there is no reason why the ex-
traction of perfumes should not be a
profitable pursuit.
Oil refining. a tannery in connection
with a boot and shoe factory, glass
factory, a smelter to work not only the
ores from this section but also those
from Lower California and Northern
Mexico, that are now shipped to San
Francisco, Denver and Kansas City, q
factory for all kinds of wooden goods,
a wooden mill, ETC., etc.
1t is to be remembered that the market
afforded by the Pacific states and ter
ritories, Mexico and Central America,
the Pacific islands and the orient is
constantly increasing in absorbing abil
ity, and Los Angeles by it's geograph-
ical position has the advantage over
competing eastern points by the amount
of the freight rates to the Pacific sea-
board. The mild and equable climate
also permits work to go on uninterrupt-
eddy throughout the year, and does not
necessitate the erection of costly build
ings with elaborate heating and other
appliances.

Manufactures

The city of Los Angeles and the coun-
ties of Southern California have pro-
crossed along exceptional lines. alto
gether different from any other part of
the United States. When California
passed under the domination of this
country the lethargic population of
Spanish and Mexican extraction We're
aroused from the narrow routine of
their peaceful and happy lives by the in
fluX of people who arrived by the thou
sand searching for gold. The old-time
Spaniard set out for his cruise of dis
covery with double purpose-to find
the gold Of which he had dreamed and
to convert the pagan inhabitants of the
newly discovered country to the true
faith. His modern compeer shared with
the old Don the lust for gold, but let it
go at that, converting poor Lo was not
in his line. To get gold-and return to
the Eastern states, that was the hope
that spurred the early pioneers, and
few came with any idea Of making the
new country their permanent home.
For this reason the population was a
moving, restless one and industrial de-
velopment was limited to the supplying
of immediate needs without thought to
the future. Not until about 1860 did
manufacturers have any beginning
worthy the name even in San Francisco.
But nature was kind to the southern
part of the state, and the future great
ness Of the section was built on stable
and broad foundations. When eastern
ers, arriving over the southern trail,
and MeXicans from the southern repub-
lie poured through Los Angeles en- route
to the gold mines in the north a stimulus
was given to the fruit industry that
served happy purpose. AS the years
rolled by it came to be conceded that
Southern California was a magnificent
fruit and garden-truck country-and
nothing else. With the discovery of pc
troleum within the city boundaries a
broad vista of possibilities along manu-
featuring lines opened out before the
business men of the city, and section
Previously manufacturers were handi-
capped by the high price of fuel, and
longing eyes were turned toward the
southwest portion of Utah. where
immense beds of fine coal lay, and which
it was expected the much mooted Salt

1t is not possible at this date to accu-
rately estimate the value of the mineral
product of California for 1897 as re-
turns have not yet been made. Enough
is known, however to form the conclu-
sion that the output will show ma
terial increase over the product of 1896.
The total output of gold in California
from and including 1s48 to January /,
1897, amounted to the enormous sum of
1880, 553, III, or about twice the amount
in circulation in the United States, and
over 81 per cent of the worlds supply Of
the metal at the present time. But in
1884 mining in the state received a set
back, for it was in that year that Judge
Sawyer rendered his famous decision
against hydraulic mining, that had the
effect of closing the most productive
mines and reduced the yearly output to
an average of about 1900 900.
In the interim the state won renown as
a great agricultural, fruit and wine pro-
ducing country, and for the time mining
was somewhat in eclipse. 1t has been
stated-the statement being based on
close calculation-that if Judge Saw
yer's decision had never been rendered
and every acre of agricultural land liza =
BILE to be destroyed by accommodating de-
bris had been irreclaimably submerged
and abandoned, and the owners recouped
for their loss from the product of the
mines, the state would, in actual money
value, have still been large gamer.
In 1898 interest in the mining industry
began to revive, and became somewhat
active the following year under the pro-
visions of the Camminetti act. In 1926
another advance was made, and in the
latter part of 1867 a SAVIOR of old times
has been about mining, no doubt quick
cned by the discoveries in Alaska and
the Northwest Territory of Canada. In
1898 the gold product of California was
s12,53S, 779; in 1894 it was $13, SG3, PSI; in
