BY THE CHATTERER

One of the most famous women of
the middle west quietly celebrated her
seventy eighth birthday anniversary
yesterday in Santa Monica.
Mrs. Laura Chase Smith. author.
traveller and long a pioneer leader in
church and educational movements,
came to Southern California two years
ago for the purpose of living 'just
little while" in the garden spot of her
beloved country. She has stayed month
after month until now she has come to
call Los Angeles home" While wait
ing for the building of her new home
she has been spending the summer in
Santa Monica and there she gave her
birthday dinner at which she received
the congratulations of her two daugh-
ters, Miss Laura E. Smith and Mrs.
David Chambers Nc. Can, and her
many friends. Two daughters, Mrs. j.
S. Trottman of Milwaukee, Wis, and
Mrs. William Garden of Ypsilanti,
Mich, telegraphed their good wishes.
Mrs. Smith was born in Vermont.
She is descended from sturdy Puritans
politics. She was most carefully edu-
Gated and early showed such decided
talent for writing that she won the
special attention of her grandfather.
Philander Chase, the first Protestant
Episcopal bishop of Ohio and Illinois.
With him she made her first trip, sixty
six years ago, from New England to
Chicago.
In the early forties Mrs. Smith made
her second trip west, this time with her
husband, Horatio Nelson Smith. They
settled in Sheboygan, Mich, afterward
removing to Plymouth, Wis Mr.. Smith
served several terms as senator in the
territorial legislature of Wisconsin, and
Mrs Smith has written many interest
ing magazine articles reminiscent of her
experiences in the Badger state. While
living in Plymouth, Mrs. Smith raised
the money for the first Episcopal
church built in Wisconsin and it is of
interest to know that her friend, Mrs.
Sigourney. the poet, contributed to the
building fund.
After her husbands death Mrs. Smith
travelled widely, spending her time be-
tween trips abroad in New York, Bos-
ton and Chicago, where she became
identified with the literary workers,
artists and musicians. Two years ago.
at the age of rs, she had the pleasure of
seeing one of her books achieve inter
national success. Dana, Estes & Co.
published 1.-THE Life of Philander
| Chase" and this biography of the
| authors grandfather proved to be a
valuable contribution to history. 1t was
praised by all the critics in this coun-
try and was we'll received in London.
The book is written in a style that
places it in the foremost rank of litera-
ture for it presents charming picture
of pioneer days. There are mingled
humor and pathos In the pages which
tell of the courageous fight made by
the heroic bishop who founded Kenyon
and Jubilee colleges and undertook the
education of his kinsman, Salmon P.
Chase, later chief justice of the supreme
court of the United States.
Mrs. Smith Is IS years young, for she
retains all her splendid intellectual
powers. Both her daughters have in
herited her literary talents and they
will be important additions to the social
life of Los Angeles. Mr. and Mrs. Nc

Pleasure Places

There are large numbers of pleasure
places about Los Angeles. This part
of the country seems to have pleas
ure-loving population, with time and
money to crafty this taste. The sea-
coast is lined with resorts handsome
hotels and cottages which are crowded
the year round. Everything possible is
done to attract and entertain visitors.
Electric railways run in every direc-
tion, giving cheap and rapid transit,
lasts for twelve months makes it profit
able. 1t is the only place 1 know where
families may live in seaside cottages
all the year in comfort, and there is
seldom a day in the entire 1855 when
surf bathing is not agreeable. You
can get any temperature you want.
If the air along the sea- beach is too
cool or damp, or the fogs which often
rise after sunset are not agreeable
you can move back into the country
to Pasadena or Riverside, where the
air is warmer and dryer, and the
farther you go from the sea the
warmer it gets. There is chain OF
seaside villages reached by trolley cars
where a large portion of the business
population of Los Angeles lives, as well
as the leisure class. They are more
resorted to in the winter than In the
summer by eastern tourists. but the

FAMOUS CORRESPONDENT
WRITES OF LOS ANGELES
MR.. CURTIS HAS A FEW PLEAS.
ANT WORDS
UnhappiIy He Does Not Appear to
Have Seen Much of This City or
Section Except From a Car
Window

William E. Curtis in the Chicago Record
Herald.
LOS ANGELES, Cal, Aug. 29.-The
people of Los Angeles are favored be-
yond those of most cities. The only
thing they lack is modesty, which, we
are taught, is one of the most admir-
able of virtues. William H. Simpson,
who is given to puns and epigrams,
says it is THE Land of the Superla
tive" He means that those who live
here and own property and other things
take excessive pride in their possessions
strangers, that whatever concerns them
is greater and better than can be found
elsewhere. We have seen several of the
biggest things in the world" since we
have been here, and I am confident that
the men who described them were
honest, for the time being. We have
seen the finest club, the finest audi
torium, the finest street cars, have
heard the finest organ and have had
other advantages.
There are many wealthy people in
Los Angeles. Some Of them have made
their money here; others have been at
tracted by the climate and other advan-
tages it offers as a place of residence
for the leisure class, while more are
still actively engaged in the pursuit of
riches and find this a convenient point
to operate from. For fifty miles along
the orange belt may be found the man.
sions of rich people from all parts Of
the country. At Pasadena, Riverside,
Redlands and other villages and towns
are colonies of millionaires, some of
whom spend only the winter months
here and have other residences in the
east. Others live here the year round
in the city or in the suburban towns.
Naturally this great wealth is more or
less interested in enterprises outside Of
California, and a number of important
companies operating in other states and
particularly in Mexico have their head
quarters here.

low prices at which lands are being
sold by the land companies operating
there. 1t is a constant source OF sur
prise to all who are familiar with the
conditions that the settlement OF
Northern Minnesota does not proceed
more rapidly. There are millions of
acres of excellent lands in Northern
Mnnesota where the timber has been
cut off which are waiting for settlers
and which are obtainable at very low
prices. There appears to have been
no systematic effort toward securing
imm' grafton in Minnesota and the re-
suit is that settlers have gone and
are going farther north into Canada
trying to make homes on lands not
nearly as well adapted to their pur-
poses as those they are passing by in
Minnesota. An excellent move to cure
this condition OF affairs would be the
establishment of State immigration
Bureau. The ownership of Northern
Minnesota lands is SO diverse that it
would be difficult if not impossible to
secure unity of action by the land
owners, and as every settler adds to
the wealth of the state it is entirely
proper that the work of securing them
should be borne by the state as
whole.

branch.
In all likelihood the work of con-
structing this irrigation project will
be commenced this year.
Surveys have been made for large
number of other projects along the
lines of the Northern Pacific rail
way. some of which have been found
impracticable under present condi-
tons and others possible. Among the
latter are two projects for pumping
from the Missouri river in North Da-
kota. one in the vicinity of Fort Blu
ford and the other in the vicinity OF
Bismarck. The engineers are working
out the details of these two projects.
In addition to the projects of the
Reclamation Service there are num-
bers of irrigation canals under con-
struction by private capital at differ
ent Northern Pacific points. At For
syth, Mont, the canal of the Rosebud
Land & improvement Company irri-
eating 10000 acres will be completed
and in operation this year. The BIZ

also complete large canal irrigating

company is now placing it's lands upon
the market. The construction of q
