PROSPERITY IN THE SOUTH.

ID Y examination into the conditions OF the
+ ! various districts OF which Los Angeles is the
- center the Times OF that city has obtained
ample evidence that there has been a full and COM
pete recuperation from the i'll effects produced in that
section OF the State by the double disaster OF the
collapse OF the real estate speculation OF the boom
times and the depression brought about by the
financial panic OF 1893 The showing is one which
will be gratifying to all Caifornians and merits more
than a passing notice.
In Los Angeles itself the Times estimates that
new buildings now in process OF construction by pri-
vate parties, and excluding all public work, have
combined valuation OF more than 100000, and will
add number OF fine business houses, residences
churches and manufacturing establishments to the
city. There is said to be plenty Of money for the
needs Of enterprise, and canvass OF the banks
veals an increase Of many millions OF dollars Of de-
posts over those Of last year.
Similar reports are given Of conditions in the sur
rounding towns. In Pasadena new buildings OF all
kinds being erected there is general activity in
business, and so completely have the people
cred their sangune progressive spirit that it is prob
able large municipal Improvements will be under
taken which will add much to the attractiveness OF
the place beth for residence and for business
It is noted in Pomona that the ranchers plant
ing more orchards and in many cases pear, prune,
apricot, olive trees etc, are being uprOOted and re-
placed by orange groves Merchants increasing
their businesses and the houses which are being
constantly built are generally OF more substantial
character. Five orange-packing houses there have
been enlarged this season. The real estate market
has been decidedly active. There is no dearth OF
capital.
At Whittier it IS said there have been large move
ents OF capital toward the development OF oil wells
water facilities and the handling OF fruit It is csti
mated that in the past year 100000 has been invested
in the oil industry alone. From Riverside the reports
say: Remarkable activity is shown all along the
line. During the past year more orchards have been
planted, acres set to grain and more buildings
erected than during any like period except
ing the boom days in the history OF Riverside. Es
tablished concerns in all lines OF trade doing 20
per cent more business than at this time last year.
From Anaheim, Santa Ana. Redlands, Ontario,
Santa Barbarian short, from every center Of bust
ness throughout that section OF the State-equay
good reports are made In two respects the reports
are everywhere the same-there is ample work for
labor and wages are good. In most places there has
been an increase in the rate OF wages and the wage
earning population is sharing in the prosperity OF the

BRITISH NAVAL STRENGTH.

EO some reason the British Government has
taken advantage OF the opportunity OF the war
in South Africa 10 make demonstration OF her
naval power on scale far more imposing than any
thing in the situation seems to justify. The Beers
have not only no navy but seaport and such
ports as have been circulated OF the probability OF
the Transvaa Government issuing letters OF marque
to privateers are hardly worth serious consideration
and yet British fleets have been set to work with as
much vigor as If the empire of the at stake
in the conflict
Dispatches from London announce that while the
channel squadron has been stationed at Gibraltar to
be ready to act with the Mediterranean feet at any
moment, swift cruisers are on watch at Las Palmas
St Vincent and other points on the route to the
Cape; British warships are continually passing and
repassing through the Suez canal and what is styled
particular service squadron" has been ordered to
make ready for sea. Thus the British have estab-
ished an immense naval patrol along the whole
coast of Africa and guarding the Mediterranean
front about viglantly that around Cape Colony.
If the purpose Of the Government be to give notice
to the nations OF Europe that Great Britain is able
to hold her own against any interference that may
be attempted the demonstration has been well de-
vised Certainly striking illustration has been given
OF the naval power Of the empire Within a month
Great Britain has arranged to transport an army Of
10000 men across 6ooo miles OF ocean. She has ac-
compished the feat without seriously disturbing her
great commercial steamship lines and she has pro-
vided the money to defray the cost without levying
any increased tax upon her people Now to add to
the effect OF the lesson she mobzcs fleets sufficient
to patrol the coast of continent without materially
weakening her squadrons in any other part of the
world
It is not likely the immense cost Of the vast dem
onstration of power the has been undertaken
without good There is at present no evidence
Of any intention the part OF the powers of Europe
to interfere prevent the conquest OF the Trans
vaal but there is telling what might happen should
serious be suffered by the empire in that
part Of the world and the war be prolonged The
British statesmen evidently believe it just as we'll to
let the powers what the strength Of the empire
is and how effectuay Britain hold her own else
where while battling in South Africa
In this emergency the British are enjoying the
benefits of the wisdom which guided them in building
up their merchant marine in time of peace Thanks
to the subsidies granted through long course of

OUR CONSULAR SERVICE.
property-owners

~ UR consular service is one OF the things on
| which experts differ so much it is difficult for
- outsiders to form a definite opinion concern
ing it Time and again efforts have been made to re-
form the service and elaborate statements have been
made OF Its defects but in each instance the efforts
have been defeated by the presentation of facts tend
ing to show that the service is about good as can
be made
The consular reports issued by our Government
have repeatedly won the commendation OF British
and other European authorities on commercial sub
ecs, and they certainly give evidence of good deal
Of care on the part Of the consuls In seeking in
formation likely to be Of value to American exporters
On the other hand there have been made many kinds
OF complaints OF lack Of training the part OF the
men engaged in the service; lack which it is said
puts US at a disadvantage with European merchants
who are aided by their skilled and well-traincd rep
resentatives abroad.
The subject was recently discussed at the COM
mercal congress- and the weight of opinion appeared
to be that there is needed in the consular service
better educated class Of men than we now have
Robert Adams IT,, who as Minister to Brazil had
occasion and opportunity to study the subject said
our service is not satisfactory and not up to the
standard of that Of other countries Consus he de-
clared should speak the language Of the country to
which they sent at least French; they should
have tenure for life, least during good behavior,
and there should be chance for promotion held out
to them as an incentive to do good work
Mr.. Adams attributed the defects of the system to
the manner In which the consus are selected "Our
foreign representatives" he said "are now appointed
through political influence, and it would be impos-
sbe for any President to stand up against the pres
sure brought him to make such appointments 1t
is the system that must be changed and it is strange
that up-todate business do not give the
matter their attention for whatever the business inter
ests demand for the benefit OF American trade they
ultimately get
Owing to the rapid expansion of our foreign COM
mercc the subject has become one of more import
than ever. Granted that the service is in MANY
respects excellent, that many able men represent us
consuls. there remains the fact that improvements
may be made in it. and is worth while to set about
the reforms at once AS we have compete with the
nations of Europe for commerce we must have in the
field representatives just we'll trained as those pos
sessed by European country

The Festival and the Masters.

OF the famous composers represented in
the festival programme, four of them are
classed with the immortals-Gluck, born
1714, died 1857; Haydn, born 1892, died 1909;
Beethoven, born ITO, died 1927; and Wag-
ner, born 1872 died 1883. Glucl1 was distin-
guished as the reformer of opera; as being,
in fact the father of the German school of
opera Haydn was the father of the SYM
phony and the string quartette but if he
had written only the sublime oratorio,
1.-THE Creation" he would have had place
in the composers pantheon. Beethoven
the Shakespeare of music brought the SYM
phony to its complete development. His
most gigantic works are the choral SYM
phony and the D minor mass, "Messa Sol
ennis" Beethoven was full of devotion,
and his yivacity was natural and gentle.
But he was never sentimental, and he knew
not how to be frivolous. Worlds of sor-
row" may be found in his music. but not a
phrase did he write that was morbid. He
was always broad; always great
Wagner was easily the most gigantic fig
