LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA.
Its Wonderful Growth and Prosperity. kiv'
ersIde, the Greatest Orange Growing Dis
trict in the World.


Los ANGELES, CAL, March, 1902.
This city has a very serious attack of
the big head, and no wonder. 1t has
right to have it. In 1880 the entire pop
ulation was not over II, 900 souls. To-
DAY it has 125, 900 inhabitants and $4,000
visitors at least; and all these with but a
single thought. Even transient here
is soon impressed with the idea that
Los Angeles will have $500 people in
1912, and a plump half million ten years
later The arguments made to prove
assertions of this type seem to be
sound. 1t has a fine climate the year
around; is only an hours ride from as
the world can show; is the centre of the
southern California fruit industry; the
nucleus of great farming and mining
industries; has productive oil-fieldS in
abundance; has 900 manufacturing es-
adjustments; receives tourists the year
around from all over the world and has
is being rapidly developed by the Unit
ed states government. All that Los
Angeles is asking from the present Con
grrss : an additional appropriation of
: 400 0OO for the OreakWater at san
Pedro. $500. 600 for dredging at the
same POINT. and 81 SOC. 900 for post-of-
fee, muildinc in the city: so they are ex-
t.,r.elv modest here as well Is ener-
g..ir II seems likely that the work 1T

au.d. generous approprlation for pub
