spectacular enthusiasts have not always been
able to appreciate the good things the flu
ture held in store for the city illus
trated when a real estate man some years
ago erected sign reading: Los Angeles
will have 100000 population in 1910; buy
land while it is cheap" The booster" was
laughed at then. Even his rivals in the cul
tivation of optimism shook their heads and
deprecated putting it on too thick" Ac-
cording to the careful estimates of cool
headed statisticians Los Angeles passed the
100000 mark last year. Now the prophet
who rashly put his prophecy in black and
white is justly condemned for his lack of
Imagination.
With such marvellous growth it needs no
array of cold statistics to demonstrate the
building operations, the bank cearings and
other evidences of phenomenal growth.
Twenty-Five years ago, or such a matter,
the bank clearngs We're scarcely important
enough to record even for Statistical pur-
poses Now they are nearly $2,00O,OOO a day,
The bank deposits, too exceeding $7O0O0OoO,
indicate that the people have some resources
not represented by vacant lots.
AS the city has developed, so has every
thing going to the equipment of a progress
i've municipality developed also. Take the
transportation facilities. Not only has the
city three overland railways, but it has one
of the finest urban and interurban systems
of electric railways in the world In the
city itself there more than 200 miles OF
single track. The suburban and interurban
electric system gridironng the country over
a radius of thirty miles around Los Angeles,
most of which is completed and in operation,
has 500 miles of modern track
These figures are given for residents of
other cities to ponder over. The cost of
modern electric railways Is not trfing, and
the building of them indicates that not only
the people believe in themselves and their
city, but that capital also believes in them.
Some persons affect to believe that the great
growth of Los Angeles has been due to the
excellent means of communication furnished
by the ramifying electric lines, but they are
wrong. Not only the growth of the city,
but the building of the electric roads, is due
wholly to the enterprise. cohesion and pluck
of the residents of Los Angeles. Los An
geles had grown far beyond the experimental
stage before Mr.. Huntington put any money
into railways there Los Angeles, grateful
though it be, has done more for Mr.. Hunting
ton than Mr.. Huntington has done for Los
Angeles.

Perhaps it is not marvellous that Los
Angeles has accomplished so much in the
face of so many difficulties including the
need of great capital, as that it is showing
no indication of any abatement of it's
growth. From 1895 to 1900 the annual ex-
penditure for new buildings lowered around
the So, 100000 mark, reaching double. that
sum in 1901, going to $9,60S,132 In the sue
ceeding year, and exceeding $1300O000 the
following year and the one after that. In
1905 the building record jumped to $16400.-
600, and then it was freely predicted, and al
most admitted by the most enthusiastic, that
the pace was too hot to last, and that the
next year was bound to show slump The
indications now are that this Will not be the
case. ......
An example of the enterprise of the men "a
Los Angeles was given when they took the
water system of their city from the private
monopoly which made millions out of 1t and
converted it into a public utility. What
water has done for the south can hardly be
told but for Los Angeles it has put money in
the treasury 1t was not a Los Angeles man,
by the way, who, in a burst of enthusiasm,
told a hard headed capitalist that II he had
but water and good society he could turn
his barren land into a paradise. The answer
of the hard headed capitalist has become
classic, but it really has nothing to do with
this story. The experience of Los Angeles
with public ownership of its water supply
has encouraged it to look for a still bigger
supply, and 1t expects to bring water from
the Owens river in Inyo county, distance
of 22O miles, at a cost in money of $25,000,-
600 and in time of four years. 1t Is said
that the enterprise. if completed, would give
Los Angeles enough water for city
of 10000 enough to irrigate many thou
sands of acres of land now waterless and
to generate power for electricity for various

Recipe for Making Cities.

Mix faith, grit, hustle, cooperation, pub
licity and base; take ad lib.
Note that the base is mentioned last, and
only because every lever must have a full
crum to be effective.
IF I had fulcrum," exclaimed the an
cient philosopher, when he mastered the
simple principle of the lever, 81 could move
the earth"
few men of public spirit and ambitious
longings found themselves in Los Angeles.
They believed the place was destined to
become great, and they united their efforts
to convince others that it would They have
never faltered in their belief. They have never
wearied in their efforts. They have con-
WINGED others. because they themselves had
supreme faith, and with that faith as a
lever, they have moved mountains They
have built a city. they have planted miles
upon miles of orchards, they have created a
harbor, they have built railroads. they have
bored into the earth for its treasures, they
have accomplished things which would put
to blush the slaves of the lamp who toiled
for Aladdin.
Had the men who have built Los An
geles settled themselves in Labrador, or At
rlca' or Alaska, or on an island of the sea-
they still would have wrested success from
reluctant fate. That Los Angeles is where

California.

Growth Without Parallel.

The wonderful development of the citv of
Los Angeles is practically without paral-
lei In truth, it may be termed wonder
of the age. 1t does not tax the memory of
persons still young to recall the days when
Los Angeles was an adobe village populated
by Indians, Mexicans and a score of Amer
leans. In 1880 after the place had begun to
show signs of life, it had only 11,1S3 inhab-
itants but in the next ten years its popu-
lation increased 350.6 per cent and from
1880 to 1900 the increase was 1884 per cent
These figures are from the Federal census
and are official although they fall far short
Of indicating the real development. Since
the last census, in 1900, the city has kept llp
its gait, in the face of persistent predictions
that its prosperity was built on an insecure
foundation and that there would be a tre-
mendous crash, until to-day the closest esti-
mates make the population over 200. 600,
showing about twice as heavy growth as
during the last decade, when the census gave
1t ratio of 1894 per cent increase.
All true Calfornians are prone to point
proudly to Los Angeles as an evidence of
what the soil and climate of California can
do for the growth of cities, as well as in the
production of trees, fruits, vegetables. race
horses and everything else in which the
State claims pre-emnence. Even the people
of Los Angeles assert that their prosperity
is due to the qualities of soil. climate and
water coupled with the circumstance of
geographical location. All of which is in
teresting and untrue Possibly they NAV
be too modest, although any one who knows
them will not believe it. They boast. and
they have a right to. 1t isn't climate and it
isn't soil. Los Angeles greatness lies in it's

Other places in California have better soil
than Los Angeles. Other places have bet
ter climate Other places have better water
supply. Other places have better location
with respect to commercial advantages
Some places may excel Los Angeles in all
four characteristics. However that may be-
the point is that Los Angeles owes its pros
perty primarily to human endeavor and
only incidentally to advantages which even
the least modest admit are due to Provi-
denee.

There was a time no doubt. when the en-
thusastic land boomer. who prated or ell

lacked the nerve and force to create realities

The most wonderful body of land locked tide

thought that was the end. Most people
knew better. Some of them lost their for
tunes. few became discouraged and gave
up the fight. Others helped each other over
the rough places, and some got over them
without help. Los Angeles had received a
facer, but she was not out and was not go

II II ERE is the story of an example of

The other half is that it grew on founda-

parent resources upon which the metropolis
was founded were no more than you could
scrape into hat.
The men who came to start this mighty
city found merely waste of sand and
gravel which would grow nothing at all
without water, and the water at hand was
not sufficient to refill the canteens buc<led
to their burros.
But they started the city. And the way il
has grown is the strongest evidence in the
world that the tale of Jack and his beam

strict history of fact. Indeed it was prob
