DEFERRED ACTION.
Where Prolonged Talk Proved
Detriment to n Town.


Sheboygan is nearly as old as Mil
waukee. People located there very soon
after Milwaukee was inhabited by the
whites. In 1910 there were not very
many residents OF Sheboygan who
could be convinced that theirs was not
the best location and that ShebOygan
would not be the chief city of WiScon-
sin. Sheboygan people began to talk
railroads at about the same time the
people Of Milwaukee did, and that was
early in the forties. Milwaukee began to
throw dirt for the first mile OF railroad
in the state In 1910. Sheboygan con-
tented herself with building various
railroads in her mind until 1886, or
until after her chance for contesting
with Milwaukee as to which should be
the leading city had disappeared.
AS early as 1915 leading citizens OF
ShebOygan and the Falls planned n
railroad. which, If 1t had been built or
begun soon after 1t was planned. would
have been so beneficial to Sheboygan
that without doubt it would now be a
city Of anywhere from 100000 to 900
600 inhabitants. If they had stopped
talking and got the start of Milwaukee
by grading n mile of that road when it
was first suggested, and eastern cap
italists had had their attention at
tracted to 1t and had taken pains to 20
over the proposed line, railroad build
Ing in Wisconsin would have begun in
earnest In Sheboygan instead of Mil
waukee. Who can tell what that
would have meant to both Milwaukee
and Sheboygan?

LOS ANGELES GROWTH.
Has the Highest Percentage For the
Last Decade.

Last Decade.
Los Angeles Is gaining in population
and commerce more rapidly than ever
before In Its history. During the first
half Of the year the city has issued
permits for buildings valued at 1872
953. while permits issued during the
first half Of last year amounted to ST.
O5O,29O. More than 80 per cent of the
expenditure this year has gone into res
licences of one and two stories. During
the same time the bank clearings have
aggregated $S7.O92, S3OS5, while those
Of the first half of last year aggregated
SEQ, 795, 1919.
In value of buildings the increase has
been nearly 60 per cent and in bank
clearIngs 43 per cent during the last
year. Judged by the school census,
postoftice business and other methods
of calculating population, it seems es-
tabllshed that Los Angeles is gaining in
population at about 10 per cent a
year. an increase above the rate which
gave 1t the highest percentage of
growth during the last decade of the
cities OF the country having over 10000
Inhabitants.

Nothing will SO quickly clean and
