DEFAMATORY TO SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA WHERE HE'S TRYING TO EARN HIS BREAD and BUTTER


 would have his readers believe that only the "lazy, shiftless people" come out here from the East and from Can ada. During the past thirty years Los Angeles City has been built up from almost nothing to city of l25,- 900 population, orange orchards have been planted that today yield an ln- come of from $15,000,000 to $2O,O0O,- 900 annually. Railroads and electric lines have been built to gridiron this country. Cities and towns have been built on a scale not excelled in any other portion of the United States or Canada, and irrigation systems have been established that have reclaimed hundreds of thousands of acres of worthless land and made It worth from $50 to $500 per acre. Is this kind of work done by "lazy, shift less people,? If so, why do not some of the smart people come out from the East and take advantage of the situation?
 "They have had more rain during the past three months than they have had before in years"
 That statement is utterly false. There was more rain during the one season of 19O0-O1 than during the en- tire rainy season of 1901-O2.
 The cheerful liar complains because it does not rain and because it does rain; because it does not thunder and because it does thunder.
 "A neighbor of ours has just bought STA steel cooking range from an agent of Toronto, Canada, stove firm. And this in the land of sunshine and flowers"
 This remark was a climax to the statement of how cold it was here in the winter season. Well, yes, the peo- pie here are not so lazy that they do not cook their food.
 "It is not my desire to depreclate the country in which I make my bread and butter (the latter 35 cents pound, and not exactly gilt-edged at that)."
 And even this statement of his de- sires could not be penned without an untrue fling at the quality of the but ter. A man who cannot get good "gilt-edged butter" here in Southern California is certainly not judge of good butter and is easily imposed up on by some one-horse corner grocery man where the correspondent eV1- dently tries to get cheap goods.
 ''I wouldn't be afraid to wager that there are more homesick people 1n California today than could be found anywhere"
 It would not be strange if there were some homesick people among the thou sands who have recently arrived here but among the hundred of thousands who have been here year or more , there is not a more contented an( , satisfied class of people on the face } of the earth. Because, as whole T they are prosperous and because the, 5 are enjoying a climate superior t' } anything they had ever before experi enced.

TO CALL UP FRENCH TREATY.
Senator Cullom's Announcement Aronses
Strong Opposition

Washington. Dec S.-The first decided move
IN the Senate this session in the interest of the
French reciprocity treaty was made by Senator
Cullonl chairman Of the Committee on Foreign
Relations while the Senate was in executive
session to-day. He called up the treaty for the
purpose of securing an order for the printing
OF documents bearing on the argument, and
gave notice that he would ask the Senate TO
take UP the treaty at az early day for the pur-
pose OF disposing OF it
The proposition met decided opposition from
a number OF Senators, including Messrs Aid
rich Hear Lodge and Depew. Senator Aldrich
moved that the treaty be referred to the Com
nittee on Finance saying he thought it should
have q more complete Investigation, and from
a different point of view than it had at the hands
of the Committee on Foreign Relations. He said
that. so far as he had been able to learn, the
people who desire the ratification of the treaty
were vastly in the minority in this country.
Senator Hoar suggested that the treaty should
90 over at least until after the Christmas holi-
days
Replying to various remarks, Senator Cullom
said he intended to press consideration of the
treaty earnestly in his power, be-
cause he believed il to be due to the French
Republic that the question should be considered
and disposed Of in a dignified and proper man
ner- This, he intimated, the wish Of the
administration, and he expressed his personal
view that no other proceeding would be in ac-
cordance with the duty of this country toward
another nation. He indicated that he would
cali the treaty up not later than next week.
