~Go MrsT. YOUNG MANn

In the current number Of that bright periodical the
Sunset Magazine we find exceptionally interesting
article under the caption Another Go West Period"
The writer draws comparison between the opportuni
ties presented the old states and those Of the far
west for young Americans who ready and eager TO
out their fortunes The fact is pointed out that
the young men of today who entering upon their
life work in the have not the chances of sue

This because conditions have changed within the last
quarter third Of century, making it practically inn
possible business without amounts of capital

As example of the better chances for success In
the far west the writer in says "out Of Ari
have proceeded the millions from mine alone
that have enabled Senator Clark TO build railroad

Passing to the attractions and opportunities present
ed in Southern California the writer draws this inter-
esting word picture: LOS Angeles the widely adver
