Deafness Cannot Be Cured.

There is only one way to crue deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an nflampd condi-
ton of the mucous lining of the Eu-
stachan Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have a rumblmg sound or
imperfect hearing. and when it is entirely
closed. Deafness is the result, and unless
the inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal condition.

MUCH CREDIT DUE THE
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

WASHINGTON, Feb. III am in
receipt of your invitation to attend the
annual banquet on the evening of Feb
ruary % in the city of Los Angeles.
While my duties in Washington will
not permit me to accept your invita-
tion, yet l desire to express TO you my
thanks for the very kind invitation
Los Angeles is one of the most pros
porous cities in the United States and
is the only city of over 100000 pOpula-
tion where the growth is conceded 70
have been so rapid since 1890 that the
census method of estimating inter-
censal population for the purpose of
obtaining death rates, has been def
nitely abandoned by the census bureau.
In 1850 the population was 1910; 1880,
11,1SS; 1890, 5O,395; 1900, 1O1 ,479, and in
1905 the population IS estimated al 220, .
600, or an increase in five years Of
HAT per cent.
While it is true that your magnificent
climate and the products Of the soil
have contributed largely to the enor-
nous increase in population, yet that
increase has largely been brought
about by the systematic methods and
the we'll directed efforts Of your cham
ber of commerce.

figures giving the value of manufac-
lures of Los Angeles and showing the
percentage of increase for five wears
over the census OF 1900. but up 10 th..

LARGE INCREASE
IN MANUFACTURING

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. 17.-Pre-
liminary report on the manufacturing
industries of Los Angeles, Cal, censuses
of 1900 and 1905. These data are subject
to such additions and corrections as
may be found necessary upon fur
ther examination of the reports.
The census of manufactures of 1905
covers the calender year 1904 and was
taken in conformity with the act of
congress of March 6. 1902. 1t is confined
to the manufacturing establishments
with an annual product of $500 or over,
thus excluding the neighborhood indus
tries and hand trades, such as the build
ing trades, dressmaking, custom mil
linery, cobblng, blacksmithing etc.
Including these industries, there We're
reported in the twelfth census, 1415 es-
Establishments in Los Angeles. The sta
tistics for the neighborhood industries
reported in 1900 are excluded from the
following table, thus reducing the data
to a comparative basis, which includes
only 535 establishments in 1900. These

RESPONDS TO TOAST
OF "THE PRESIDENT"

Lee c. Gates responded to the toast,
"The President Mr.. Gates spoke
without notes and proved himself to
be a thorough American citizen.
He said in part: "The president is
the highest office that any man can
attain in any country, and the man
who has been twice elected to the po-
sition is doubly honored."
The speaker reviewed briefly the chief
events in the history of America, nam
Ing the presidents in order and pictur-
ing the exalted position the country
now occupies among the nations of
the world. Theodore Roosevelt, who
has endeared himself to the people of
the nation, is the exemplary citizen of
the world, discharging all duties with
zeal, courage and fidelity. He is hon
est for that higher and holier purpose,
because honesty is right. Mr.. Gates
peroration aroused his hearers to a
high state of enthusiasm, and when he
finished he was given three rousing
cheers.

PERKINS SAYS WORLDS
EYES ARE OPENED

WASHINGTON, Feb. FL desire to
extend my thanks to the chamber of
commerce for it's kind invitation to
attend the annual banquet on the 22d
inst, and express my regrets that L
am unable to be present. Very few
commercial organizations have, at their
annual meetings., such reports Of .busi-
ness growth and prosperity to make as
has the Los Angeles chamber of com
merce.
Thirty years ago sheep ranches. on
which the stock was dying by thou

represented the prevailing industry of
the region now contributary TO Los
Angeles; and where there was a uni
yersal desire to escape at any sacrifice
from country which seemed to offer
no hope of the future, there is now the
highest hope and most enthusiastic
confidence that any community in the
United States can show.
Dusty sheep runs have given Mace
TO scores Of thriving cities and towns,
ana the Los Angeles whose people were
ready TO sell their holdings to anyone
who would buy is now one of the
great cities of the United States with
an outlook which promises for more
even than the wonderful achievements
of the past twenty-five years.
How Brought About
And all this has been brought about

transportation TO the rest Of the world
second, through the mastery of the
productive energies of the soil by lead

HON. THOMAS FITCH'S
ELOQUENT RESPONSE

Hon. Thomas Fitch responded elo-
quently to the toast, THE Owens River
Project. He said in part:
You have called upon me to respond
to the toast of the Owens river project.
The project has passed beyond the
stage of a project. 1t is a well-con-
sidered and partially accomplished
plan. 1t is not a sentimental, unreach-
able, utopian, long-whiskered idea such
as legislation by mass meetings and
county and state conventions, with the
Lords prayer and the Golden Rule for
a platform. 1t is not an iridescent
dream, but a closely calculated busi-
ness enterprise based upon the figures
of arithmetic, not figures of rhetoric,
and is promoted by capitalists who
have the courage of their convictions.
"The people of New York, Chicago
and San Francisco now pay more for
water for domestic use than the peo-
pie of Los Angeles will pay when the
Owens river canal shall be completed.
The gross receipts of the Spring Valley
Water company of San Francisco last
year were over $2,000,000. That is over
five dollars per annum for every man,
woman and child in the city.
IF there shall be only half a mil
lion people here in 1911-and that real
estate agent who would advertise so
small growth would be disloyal to
his calling-then a water tax of five
dollars per capita would produce a
revenue of two and one-half millions
per annum, enough to pay all the
cost of service and the interest on the
bonds, and provide a sinking fund for
their payment. But the revenues will
not be limited to the amount received
from water sold for domestic purposes.
The water can be put to profitable uses
for which water is not available in
other cities.
Enough and to Spare
when the owens river shall reach
Los Angeles we will have 10000 inches
of water every day in the year. That
will provide not only a sufficient sup
ply for the domestic uses, the lawns,
the parks and the highways of a city
of million and half of people, but
it will furnish enough water to irri-
gate 100000 acres of orchard land, and
that will produce another million dol
lars of revenue.
1T is estimated by engineers that
the waters of the Owens river will fur
nish 10000 horse power for factories
mills and furnaces. If only one-third
of this amount is sold it win add 81,
100000 more to the revenue and Los
Angeles will become o great manufac-
turing city with no smoke to cloud
the landscape and no smell to make
unpleasant the air. The revenues from
all these sources will amount to from
