Mayor Moore favored the PROPOSE

favorable action. The mayor quickly
grasped the situation and saw that it
would be wise expenditure Of
money. But he was alone. E
The aldermen couldn't see it. They
pleaded municipal poverty, probably
recalling the $400 or $500 wasted on
that worthless pipe line for the
sprink Ter. and the extra fees they were
digging up for certain officers. and the
extra salary for the new sewer in
spector. AT any rate it was all off in
minute. Beverstock moved to turn
the proposition down, Boettler came
in with second, and they left the
mayor alone. Not one supported him.

WHERE DWARFS ARE MADE.
Children i'm Madras Stunted and ID u.s.
tOrted for the Purpose of Put
ting Them Out to Beg.

Some interest has of late been
aroused in Madras by the exhibition
of two dwarfs who are alleged to be
over so years of age, and are brother
and sister. These beings are not only
small but distorted. It is believed
that dwarfs are "manufactured" in
Indian. There is a practice extant in
the Punjab of elongating infants
heads so as to render them out of all
proportion to the body. The effect of
compression on the brain renders the
victims idiotic, says the London Ex-
press.
They are sent around to beg, and in
their peregrinations visit the Madras
and Bombay presidencies. An instinct
akin to that of an animal, however,
still lives in the distorted beings, and
invariably brings them back to their
masters. They are known as "Shah
Shuja's MICE" from the name of the
temple where they are manufactured.
The children, it is stated, are vowed to
the temple by fanatical women.

who has just returned from Vena

port:
''President Castro is a full-blooded
Indian and an energetic man without
political wisdom. He rose suddenly
from magistrate of a remote village
at the foot of the Andes to the presi-
dency, and his rapid rise made him
overconfident.
''The present situation is due 20
two facts: Germany suddenly sus-
pended the pressure of the early part
of the war, which diminished the re-
spect in which she was held by Presi-
dent Castro; secondly, the, attitude
of the officials Of the great Venezue-
Ian railroad toward President Cas-
tro. Germany's first principle must
be not to NEEDLE in the internal af-
fairs of Venezuela. But the railroad
officials forgot this

role in political tendencies. The

politics.

San Jacinto has been giving out
many hints Of a subterranean
disturbance which it's placid surface
seems to contradict.
One is always glad to get back to
cosmopolitan Los Angeles, which is
Gust like any other town. except
that there is never any real winter.
And this is just what is misleading.
Many people think they can come and
transgress all the rules in regard to
contracting colds that they have care
fully observed elsewhere. The fact is,
a California cold is serious matter.
1t is easy to acquire and hard to break.
This accounts for the many fatal cases
of pneumonia among eastern visitors.
Another practical consideration. Too
many people are stranded here. No
person should come to California with
out calculating the cost, and, as some
say ''be sure and bring a return ticket"
There are always few more places
one wishes to visit. Those who come
to stay may find plenty Of work for
the muscles. Carpenters and painters
receive $3.50 per day. Manual labor is
at premium. But to the man who de-
sires a clerkship or ''some easy way
of making living the country offers
few inducements. Los Angeles is
crowded with men who want to make
money while keeping their hands white.
Many find mere existing here pleas
ure. The parks are beautiful. Winter
is the season for flowers. Since the
winter rains began, everything has
started afresh and the whole country
seems to be dressed in the advanced
styles of spring. The poinsettias with
their flaming red 'Christmas flowers"
hold chief sway at present and share
with the old missions chief honors as
subjects for painting and decoration as
shown among the souvenir wares in the
stores. While people who visit this
city are wildly conscious of it's beau
ties, few realize that it is fast becom-
ing great manufacturing center,
petroleum furnishing the fuel which
in earlier years was lacking. So there
is a great deal besides climate in Los
Angeles.
But person should never come here
to live without first making a trial,
counting what he must relinquish and
returning east for awhile to learn if
the charm of the land of sunshine be
sufficiently strong to hold him.

summer attire; plenty OF people wear
it. On the shady side, it is cold, really
cold, hence one sees white shirt waists
hob-nobbing with sealskins according
to the tastes of the wearers, all OF
whom are comfortable. But every one
wears winter hat. So much courtesy
is extended to the almanac.
Rip Van Wrinkle would have found
the ladies' headgear the most infal-
lible means of telling the season. Some
times it freezes little, although we
have had no frost this winter. When
it rains, it is very dreary, but then we
had no rain all summer and it was
never too warm, if one remained in the
shade. Even i'll winter the sunshlny
days are the rule. People tire of liv-
ing here, but when they go away al
most invariably wish to return. II
you do not desire to become chronic

away from Los Angeles. We realize
it's limitations, but it has large and
comprehensive hold on us. The sun

every one has heard of the California
climate and many people say it is all
we have here. But there are a few
other things which have been only too
well described. 1t is true that just
now we can pick flowers at Altadena
and in a half hour deposit them in the
snow on Mount Lowe, but Mount Lowe
does not often afford such an opportu-
nifty and one must generally seek some
higher mountain if it is desired to make

some by trains. The ride around the
kite-shaped track may be made in one
day, but one misses a great deal if he
tries to take it in that time. The stay
at Riverside and Redlands is too short.
These are typical southern California
towns and one may view there what is
impossible to see elsewhere and it re-

THE CITY OF ANGELS.
Crowded by Tourists Afflicted with
California Fever.
Good Place for Artisans and Labor
ers, But an UnprOmising Field
for Clerks and Profess
silOnaI Men.
Especial Los Angeles letter.

Vt is a well-knoWn fact that at no
time in it's history has there been
such an influx of travel towards
southern California as at the present.
During all last winter, all summer,
people have been pouring in, settlers
by thousands and tourists in uncount-
ed numbers. During single week
5000 people came in over one line. An
other railroad man stated that ne
thought a conservative estimate Tor
his road was about 4, 500 weekly. Most
of these people come to Los AngeAes
and 90 out through the country from
this Doint. Thousands remain here
and the question of how they are to be
housed and fed has been very ably
met. From December /, 1901, tc
November %, 1902, there were issued
4,288 building permits at $8,O45,239'
From November 1 to November %,
1902, permits for $1,034,7O2 were grant
ed. This shows the best three weeks
Los Angeles has had. The year will
probably show about SO, 900 worth
of permits issued. This growth is in
every direction where not stopped by
the hills. 1t is especially noticeable
towards the ocean; the II miles to the
Pacific will probably be covered by this
progl essive little city within few
years. Miles of streets of handsome
residences, with beautiful grounds are
being laid out. The city is doing her
best to provid for the greatness which
is being thrust upon her.
There is a great deal of inquiry in
the eastregarding southern California.
Many people are conservative enough
to desire to know something about
how they are to fare before trusting
themselves so far from home in the
winter. Of course, people of wealth
have little trouble on that score.

man. The next spring when these
same hunters went up the Platte they
found the skeleton of poor Scott 60
miles from the place where they had
left him. The terror that spurred the
emaciated man to drag himself all this
weary distance can barely be con-
ceived: but such were the fearful odds
taken by every free trapper who went

COMMERCIAL PROFESSIONS.
Men of Money Who Labor to Turn
Their Business Into Institutions
of Usefulness.

The truth is, we hear too much
about the commercialism of the pro-
fessions There are men who vulgar
ize them all, no doubt, and who sell
their craft-right for a mess Of mil
lions, for there have always been such
men, says Worlds Work. But there
is another tendency Of our time that
is far stronger than the tendency
to get wealth; it is the ten
dency to establish, to build, and
to maintain institutions-inst
tions of any useful and honorable
kind. Men give themselves in the
most unselfish way to build up colleges
and universities, hospitals, museums,
clubs, associations for the advance
ment of trades and professions, libra
ries-there is no end of the list. Men
la bor to turn their business into inst1-
buttons. Many founders of great'com-
mercial houses work for their honor
able perpetuity.
Many manufacturers plan their fac
tories so as to give them an institu-
tional character and value. The
naturally conservative tendency of an
active people is toward institution
building. Strong men in almost every
department of work show such ten
dency, often as a dominant trait OF
character, and this is stronger mo-
tive than the mere wish to be rich.
The rich man who stands alone, who
has not esta blished something, who
is not identified with some great in
stitution, commercial or public, is not
envied. He is more likely to be pitied.

So many conflicting stories are told
regarding the country that it is, hard
for one who has never visited the
Pacific coast to reconcile them, but
facts remain, hOwe1 er, to prove that
they are. as a rule, true. Yet the
tendency is to overdraw things and to
make them appear fully as good as
they are. To-day, one walks north on
Broadway, one of our best business
streets, and it certainly does not seem
more than a mile, straight ahead, to
mountains which are heavily covered
with snow, yet turning to the lett, at
any corner, green grass, palms ana
other trees may be seen, at little
distance, in yards where flowers bloom
in great profusion. On the sunny side
