THE CITY OF ANGELS.
Crowded by Tourists Afflicted with
California Fever.
Good Place for Artisans and Labor
ers, But an Unpromising Field
fer Clerks and Profess
sbona1 Men.
Especial Los Angeles letter.


IT is a well-known fact that at no
time in its 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 a single week
5000 people came in over one line. An
other railroad man stated that he
thought a conservative estimate for
his road was about 4, 300 weekly. Most
of these people come to Los Angeles
and go out through the country from
this point. Thousands remain here
and the question of how they are to be
housed and fed has been very ably
met. From December 1, 1901, to
November %, 1902, there were issued
4,28S building permits at $8,045,239.
From November to November %,
1902, permits for 81 ,o34, 7O2 were grant
ed. This shows the best three weeks
Los Angeles has had. The year will
probably show about S9,5o0,0OO worth
OF permits issued. This growth is in
every direction where not stopped by
the hills. 1t is especially noticeable
towards the ocean; the IL miles to the
Pacific will probably be covered by this
progressive little city within a few
years. Miles of streets of handsome
residences, with beautiful grounds are
Barbour County index. [volume] (Medicine Lodge, Kan.) 1880-current, 1903-03-04

for one who has never visited the
Pacific coast to reconcile them, but
facts remain, however. to prove that
they are, as 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 mile, straight ahead, to
mountains which are heavily covered
with snow, yet turning to the left, at
any corner, green grass, palms and
other trees may be seen, at a little
distance. in yards where flowers bloom
in great profusion. On the sunny side
of the street it is warm enough for
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 a winter hat. So much courtesy
is extended to the almanac.
Rip Van Wrinkle would have found
the ladies' headgear the most infal-
ible means of telling the season. Some
times it freezes a 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 tho
shade. Even in winter the sunshiny
days are the rule. People tire of liv-
ing here, but when they go away al
most invariably wish to return. If
you do not desire to become a chronic
sufferer from California fever, stay
away from Los Angeles. We realize
its limitations, but it has a large and
comprehensive hold on us. The sun
shine is a never failing delight. But
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
Barbour County index. [volume] (Medicine Lodge, Kan.) 1880-current, 1903-03-04

being laid out. The city is doing her
best to provide for the greatness which
is being thrust upon her.
There is a great deal of inquiry in
the east regarding 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.
But this letter is designed to inter-
est people who do not find it necessary
to deplete their pocket books by in
dulging in gilt-edged food. Living at
restaurants is very cheap, while raw
material for cooking is expensive
eggs at As cents a dozen is fair
sample. A person should never con-
sent to occupy a room here where he
may not have artificial heat at night.
The steam or hot-water heated build

well described. 1t is true that Just
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
snowballs. The round trip from Los
Angeles to Mount Lowe, up the incline
railway costs $1.75. 1t may be easily
made in one day. One day takes one to
Santa Catalina island and return. Two
Santa Monica and other beaches NAV
be reached in a half hour by trolley,
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-
qulres time to do it properly. The
scenery is delightful, and Redlands,
in winter, possesses strong element
of the mysterious. One drives through
almost tropical luxuriance Of tree and
flower and wonders what is
transpiring off in the strange, shin
ing, snow-covered distance White
San Jacinto has been giving out
many hints of subterran'ean
disturbance which its placid surface
seems to contradict.
One is always glad to get back to
cosmopolitan Los Angeles, which is
lust 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,
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 calcula ting 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 clerkship or "some easy way
OF making living" the country offers
few inducements.
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 he
sufficiently strong to hold him.
