LOOKING BACKWARD AND FORWARD

At a meeting of the local historical society
paper was read giving glimpse of the evolution of Los
Angeles for half century witnessed by the author.
Such paper of course could not fail to be interesting
to dweers in the city at the present day.
Fifty years ago. pointed out, there was only one
church in Los Angeles and only 200 pupils in the public
schools Today there Of churches here and
nearly 200 times 200 (4OOOO) children in the public
schools.
In the earlier period we are told, there were not
than two two-story houses among the few adobe
dwellings that clustered around the plaza"
Fifty years hence the story will be told of another
half century Angeles evolution. The author of
that story is young perhaps boy. In
1855 the people of this city will be told doubt of the
time away back in 1905, when Los Angeles was small
city of only 900 inhabitants. What will be the show
ing the city then in the comparison with the Los An
geles of this day?
Los Angeles is doubling in population in consid-
eraby than years. 1t is not at all probable, of
course such ratio of increase will continue but
as of curiosity note what would be- double
of the present population in the next ten years would
give total of 100000 in 1915 100000 in 1925 144000
in 1885 2,SSO,0OO in 1945 and 576OOOO in 1855
If the author of paper showing the evolution of
the city the half century had told the people fifty
years ago that Los Angeles would have population of
10000 in 1905 he would have been rated unac The
same thing might be said of person who should
estimate the city in 1855 at the figure that time will
prove it to be.

THE SALOON ISSUE ELECTION

II appears to be almost certain that the saloon issue
in this city will be decided by the popular
time this spring The necessary number of signers to
the petition asking for such vote has been secured ap
pareny although the margin above the requirement is
small

indicative of the ultimate result the prospect would not
be bright the antsaloon Several weeks were
consumed securing the city for signatures to the petit

an especially encouraging result Of the preliminary sk

It is asserted by the managers Of the anti-saloon
movement and with appearance of plausibity. that
the petition does not reveal their real strength There
are thousands of Los Angeles according to their
view who would to have their names appear on
the petition but who will go to the polls and vote in
favor Of abolishng the saloons
But there are other thousands Of Los Angeles men,
probably whom the antsaloon partisans count on as
supporters but who will quietly vote against prohibition
when the test

the consideration of every property owner no matter

Another large class of voters temperate men but not
prohibtionists, probably will give the closing movement
the cut direct at the polls They are the thoughtful
voters who are familiar with nonsaoon experiments in
other communities. They also have views of their own
about the probable effects upon general business inter
ests of making this dry city.
The popular vote. however will settle all questions
involved. Los Angeles should have whatever 1t wants
that aainable and the proposed vote will decide
whether it wants the saloons closed or not.

SOCIAL DIARY

the inevitable has come to pass.
Madam Grundy even goes so far as
to affirm, and she says on the best of
authority, that some of the Los An
geles women have included these in
their lists of Easter accessories and
the only thing which now remains IS
whether they will have courage enough
to wear them. Who knows even now
in the secrecy of pretty boudoir some
woman may be going through the
necessary rehearsal in order that she
may be able to bear off her new burden

which women crave.

OAKLAND'S GARBAGE BOUQUETS

The bosom of Oakland swes with pride may
assume because the big city of New York recognizes
it model to follow, in respect In wonder the
Oakland done that the great metropolis should be
cined 10 initiate even to specially approve?
The answer to that mental inquiry is-garbage. The
northern city's method of collecting disposing of
garbage has called forth high commendation from
petent eastern observers. The Engineering News re-
Gently described the process length and the basis
that description other periodicals comment APPROX
ingly
The New York Tribune says, for instance, that "a
the east has something to learn from the vest method
of collecting garbage has been adopted in the city just
named that is vast improvement the in vogue in
New York and many other Places
The Oakland garbage plan which has elected such
praise in the east is described thus: Kitchen refuse
kept separate from ashes, is put in metal can which
stated intervals is placed the sidewalk in front of
the house in which it is accumulated A wagon is in
service there which accommodates ftyten-gallon cans
each of the latter being provided with tightly fitting
and before being returned is washed and ster
ilized."
Los Angeles well as New York and other eastern
cities, might with profit follow the lead of Oakland in
this important question The city council has been for
months wrestling with the problem of garbage collection
and disposal but thus far nothing substantial seems to
have been accomplished except the sending of an in
vesgator cities. From the facts here touched
upon it looks if the investigation might better be di
rected toward the progressive city of Oakland
