Los Angeles IS booming, even as it never boomed before.

1T is in the beginning of town
 making that the peculiar bent is
 given which determines the char
 acter of the place for all time.
 Redlands was incorporated al- most as soon as 1t was founded and Mayor E. G. Judson was the terror of the negligent citizen. If any man permitted a weed to grow six inches high in h1s gut ter or allowed a tin can or scrap of paper to lie in a vacant lot, he was promptly notified of the fact, and Redlands became the neatest town in California. Because it was neat it drew the people who loved order and beauty, and be- cause it drew that class of people it has gained national reputa- tion for it's beautiful streets and gardens. Nature did much for Redlands, but Mayor Judson did more. This paragraph is sug- gested by the fact that the writer saw all empty oyster can on a va can't lot this morning. Was it your lot?

Active Tent City

There is great activity at the Tent
 City, Coronado, where preparations are being made to entertain more peo- pie than ever before, the resort grow ing yearly in popularity. The San Diego Union says: "The baggage, ex- press, telegraph, laundry, mail, tele- phone, water, lights and other conven- fences have already been arranged for. Under F. w. Bennett's supervision, the clerks in all these departments have been secured. People who lived at Tent City last season will meet some of the familiar faces among the em- ployes who were there. Among them will be A. K. Sauer, agent for renting tents; Miss Kent, ticket agent on the Casino; Miss Shultz, cashier; Joseph clerk, and many others.'

THE editor of the PRESS has not the pleasure of acquaintance with Judge Moses A. Luce, can didate for Republican nomina- tlon For Congress, but there is one event in his life which cannot but commend him to everybody. Tn the desperate battle of the Wild- erness, the Federal troops in which MT. Luce was a sergeant, made charge and gained en- trance to the enemy's works,
 where they met terrific fire from masked batteries and were driven back. As the troops started backward a friend of Luce suf- fered the loss of leg, shot away by cannon. Stopping long enough to induce the fallen man to put his arms around his neck, Luce took him upon his back, and in the rain of missiles bore him away. For his heroism Congress

Quarterly Meeting

The first quarterly meeting of the Methodist Episcopal Church ever held in the valley took place at the Christ ian Church last Sunday morning, Rev. MT. Kline presiding at the sacrament and delivering the sermon. The pre- siding elder, Rev. w. M. Sterling, was on his way to Imperial, but was taken ill at Banning and was unable to be present. Rev. Clark of Pasadena, a local preacher of the Methodist church, assisted Rev. Kline, and vocal solos were rendered by Mrs. Srack and MT. Clark.
 While no statement is being made to that effect, it is probabl that before many months the Methodists will have their own place of worship in the val ley, as large proportion of the set tiers are identified with that denomi- nation.

THERE Is profit in studying the innumerable small advertisements in the Los Angeles Times, which are fine index to the industrial condition of Southern California. In the edition of last Sunday there were 95 columns of the ad- vertiSementS. There was less than a column of houses offered for rent, showing the crowded condition of the city even now, when the tourists have about all gone. There were three columns of "male help wanted" and only one column of finale situations wanted" showing a demand for laborerS in excess of the supply. There were eight columns of "city lots and lands," telling of new subdivisions, and six col umnS of new ''hOuses for sale," telling of the activity of the building trades and the real es- tate market, for people do not ad- vertise when there are no buyers.

THE most important announce ment made in connection with railroad building through Impe- rial valley is that next season Imperial is to be one of the prin- cipal objective points of the Southern Pacifc's colonists' rates. The railroad is to throw its in- fluence in favor of popu1ating the valley. This is an act of wisdom on the part of the rail- road, for the development of the valley means great traffic for the road. But it also implies vast benefit to all settlers.

IT seems perfectly natural to accuse newspaper man of the murder of Nora Fuller, in San Francisco. That was a brutal crime, and was horrible enough for one newspaper writer to wish to fasten on another.

Mr.. Henry R. Rhone,
Grand Junction. Colo. ,

Mr.. Henry II. Rhone,
Grand Junction. Colo,
Dear Sir:-I am in receipt of
your favor of August 21st in regard
to immigration to Grand Junction.
do not think that the Denver &
Rio Grande Company has been dere-
lict in its duty in that direction.
We have constantly made rates to the
Grand Junction district and all other
parts of the state of Colorado, and
ave used our utmost endeavors to
settle up the state.
The suggestion you make as to the
methods of the Great Northern and
their country is in no way a proper
comparison. In the first place, the
Great Northern and Northern Pacific
own their own lands and get the ben
eft from the sale of same as we'll as
the railroad fare. In the second
place, the lands that they are settling
up are of very cheap character and
sold on very easy terms, at from 81. 20
to 81. 90 per acre. No such conditions
prevail in Grand Valley The land
is owned in small tracts by individ-
uals, the price is very high, and no
one but persons of means can avail
themselves of it, while comparative
paupers take advantage of the oppor-
tunity to settle in the Northwest
So far as making rate from all
points in the state to Grand Junction
is concerned, that is a proposition
that we could not entertain. We are
endeavoring to settle up the whole
state and not any one particular To-
cality. The movement of the people
from one point on the line of our
road in the state of Colorado to an
have persistently declined, and will
continue to decline, to make home
seekers rates that will take people
from one part of the state to another.
We are always ready to join in a rate
to bring people from eastern terri
tory and have made this rate contin-
uously for the last ten years, having
never declined any bona fide appli-
cants, either singly or in parties
This rate is made from Denver,
Colorado Springs and Pueblo, those
points being the initial gateway to
the state of Colorado.
We would like to see the Grand
Valley settled, as we would the San
Louis, Montezuma. Paradox and other
districts, but we cannot entertain any
proposition for the settling of one of
these districts to the depopulating of
another.
1 think that you will surely see
the sound reasoning of this argu-
ment.
Yours truly,
& X HOoDer G. p & II A

General Henderson had already en-
tered into the coming campaign, and
it is stated here that both Governor
Cummings and Senator Dolliver,
both of whom are said to be in favor
of tariff revision, We're to have
stumped the district for him The
Iowa republican state convention,
held in the latter part of July. took
strong grounds on the question of the
reduction of the tariff on goods whose
production was controlled by the
trusts, making the following declara
tion on that subject:
1--WE favor any notifications of the
tariff schedules that may be required
to prevent their atfording shelter to
monopoly.
There was IA great deal of opposi
tion to this statement. but it was fin
ally adopted by the convention. 1t
is thought here that this plank in the
platform was the one which raised
the issue in General Henderson S case,
and has induced him to withdraw.

whereabouts. The police have been

Stillwell was formerly newspaper
man but had abandoned the profess

engaged in writing book when he
came to Denver For some time he
stopped at the Princeton, near twenty
second and Stout streets. He left for
Georgetown, where he has an aunt,

W|THDRAWS.
His DecIination to Make the Race
For Congress Causes Excite
ment in Washington.

Washington. Sept. 6.-The dispatch
announcing Speaker Henderson's de
clination of the congressional nomina-
tion caused a sensation in Washing
ton. Very few public men are i'll
Washington at this time, but all here
expressed regret that the speaker had
determined on the course announced
in the Dubuque dispatch.
The reasons leading up to his action
were perhaps as much matter of
comment as the refusal to stand for
re-election.
Public men acknowledge that there
is a demand in sections of the west
and northwest for a revision of the
tariff along certain lines, notably in
the case of articles whose manufac-
opinion is that General Henderson S
decision will make this issue more
acute and it is suggested that the
presidents comforting at this time
with leading senators from the East
and West is presumably on the very
question which has forced General
HENDERSON out of line with his party
in Iowa
The speaker has always been II
straight out republican in tariff mat
ters and at the last session of congress
the general understanding was that
he opposed the suggestions advanced
on tariff revision along certain arti-
cles controlled by trusts.

forenoon fiuctuated between SIS and S.12
for May. The cables We're something OF
q disappointment, and receipts consider
ably. exceeded those of the same day last
year. Buyers were more cautious, in view,
of the pronounced rally already scored
from the previous lower prices and the
belief that the short interest had been
pretty well evened UP. Nevertheless, Il
strong undertone to sentiment was appar-
terests bought the late months. After
easing off to, S.12 for May under profit
taking by smaller holders, the market
Steadied up on q light esLlmate for to-
morroW's Houston receipts and on reports
that Southern spot markets were per-
sistently working higher on pressing ex-
port demand Soon after u o'clock the
market went off quite sharply under the
combined influence of big Gin sight" fig
ures and a large estimate for to-morrow's
New Orleans receipts. May sold off to
SIS before Wall Street, Southern and
local buying started a reaction
During the rest of the afternoon the
strength. and in the very face OF the
bearish factors above alluded to, adj
vanced to the highest figures of the day
with the shorts very much disturbed
There was very little cotton for sale, and
commission houses who had generous or
iers to buy scaled down. Private wires
from the South declared that plantations
were nearly bare of cotton and that hold
ers entertained very bulliSh views. New
England spinners were moderate bidders
for spot cotton. and for the near months

close was quiet with prices net I'M
