FROM PUEBLO TO METROPOLIS


Just three score years have passed
since Los Angeles ceased to be Next
can pueblo and became an American
village. For more than another sixty
years prior to that change the pueblo
had grown slowly and feebly from its
starting point as a Franciscan mission.
And had II not been for the trans
formation the splendid Southern Cali
fornia metropolis OF the present day
would have been "as the fabric Of a
dream"
The raising OF the stars and stripes
over the old Mexican fort at a point
on the present Broadway opened the
Los Angeles door to American pioneers
and invited them to enter There was
nothing at that time especially alluring
in the Invitation. The town was a
typical Mexican settlement with
houses made chiefly of adobe and no
pretense to any feature in the line Of
modern Improvement Los Angeles
then had one of the toughest and least
promising uncut diamonds that ever
came into Uncle Sans possession.
But In the crude nucleus over which
the American flag proudly waved for
the first time. sixty years ago. the
germ of a great opportunity was dis
covered by the few Americans who
Witnessed the transformation. The
same glorious climate that we enjoy
today was noticed as a basic factor
in the opportunity for a. great future
The same foothills and lofty noun
tains that we now see in the distance
and the same mighty ocean within view
from high points. supplemented the
climatic attraction that impressed the
minds Of the handful of pioneers.
Such was the genesis of Los Angeles
as an American community. 1t re-
quired long time, however, for the
seed thus planted in fresh American
soil to sprout and grow to attractive
proportions. The infusion of American
pluck and energy came slowly in the
early years, but as every year rolled
around there was a snowball-like ac-
erection of population and cores
ponding expansion of business enter
prise. Finally the time came, well re-
membered by citizens not yet gray,
when the ball began to roll freely of
its own momentum, growing visibly
with every revolution.
In looking backward to these early
days in the American evolution of Los
Angeles we cannot too highly estimate
the debt of gratitude we of the present
day owe to the men of pluck and en-
ergy who first grappled the task of
cutting the rough diamond that Uncle
Sam acquired here three score years
ago. Citizens of Los Angeles whose
residence dates back not further than
twenty-five years cannot realize the
toughness of the job in converting the
Mexican pueblo into the urban gem
that we now enjoy.
Only In the years to come, however,
will the work of the pioneers be esti-
mated at its full value. The splendid
city of a quarter million people, now
the pride of every resident and the OBJ
ject of admiration by every visitor,
will be a far greater and much more
magnificent city than it is now in the
very near future. And for all this in
heritance, present and prospective, we
are indebted to those intrepid pioneers
who grasped the opportunity to change
the trend of the Mexican pueblo into
that of a great and beautiful American
city.

CITY'S CREDIT AT STAKE

What effect upon the material in
terests of Los Angeles may be ex-
pected from such wretched municipal
management as has been revealed re-
Gently? Do citizens realize that the
future prosperity of the city is involved
in the question whether present muni-
cipal conditions shall continue?
The extraordinary progress of Los
Angeles within the last three or four
years has been due largely to the heavy
Investments of eastern capitalists. The
increasing volume of tourist travel has
brought thousands of rich men to
| Southern California. and the inviting
opportunities for investment in this
city have caused an aggregate of many
million dollars to be employed here in
the purchase and improvement of real
estate Under normal conditions a con-
tinuance of such investments might be
expected, expanding in ratio commen-
surate with the growth of the city.
But can discerning eastern capital
lists be expected to pour their millions
of money into Los Angeles after learn
ing of the gross negligence, to say the
least, and the utter lack of business
methods, disclosed at the city hall?
And in view of the recent exposures of
n1ismanagement, or worse, what may
we expect when the time comes, as it
will very soon, to invite proposals for
funds wherewith to construct the great
Owens river water system, at a cost of
more than $2O,000,00O?
1t is of vital Importance to Los An
geles, especially at this time that the
city's financial credit be held up to the
high mark won several years ago and
maintained, until recently, without
cause for suspicion. But now, when the
time is near for seeking loan of from
$3,OOOOOO to $5,O0O,0OO, as a starter for
the great water project, facts are de-
veoped showing that the big loan for
sewer purposes has been juggled with,
of the city is denounced by experts as
unbusinesslike and faulty.
If the citizens of Los Angeles desire
to see a continuance of large invest
ments here by eastern capitalists, and
is they desire to finance the big water
project on advantageous terms. they
will have to take drastic measures, be-
ginning at once, to revise and reform
the management of municipal affairs.
An effectual step toward such reform
of public works, now in the hands Of
men in whom citizens have implicit
confidence. But the functions of that
board are limited. The present need is
to bring all other lines of municipal
service up to the level of those under
the control of that board. And that
need is emphasized by the fact that the
board, in the brief period Of it's admin
istration, has been the means of bring
ing to light the gross mismanagement
revealed at the city hail.
1t is the imperative duty of the voters
of Los Angeles. if they would assure a
continuance of the city's prosperity, to
give heed now to the Importance of a
complete reform in the management of
municipal affairs. That reform they
can effect by their votes. And the
plain method for accomplishing that
purpose is by first smashing the Re-
publican machine. which is primarily
responsible for the deplorable misman-
agement Of municipal affairs that lately
has excited the indignation OF every
honest citizen.

OF Interest to Girls.

A S has been found for the little
odds and ends of ribbon useless here
tofore, yet too pretty to throw away.
They are now used for tom-thumb
sachets which are just the thing for
Birthday tokens, luncheons, favors
and for pinning into ones gown to
1mpaFt a delicate fragrance. The
tiny pocket which contains the sa-
chet powder (about an inch square)
Is seWed to the ribbon, the ends of
which are brought, forward to cover
the bag and are shaped to form q
dainty flower. Of course upon the
morsel of. ribbon in hand depends the
kind Of flower to be made. Thus
pale pink makes a charming little
wild rose, purple a pansy, yellow a
0uttercups white a dogwood and so
on. The shaping of the petals is
most Important as upon this as well
as the coloring depends much of the
~natgralness OF the flower. The CEN
tire Of the blossom is added by means
OF a few stitches in floss of the ap-
propriate color, yellow being used for
the wild rose, etc. When employed
as luncheon favors the little sachets
may be sewed on to the place cards,
or furnished with temporary stems of
wire SO as to hang up on the edge of
the water tumblers.

Canning and Picking.

Properly canned fruit is delicious;
anything short of that is a delusion.
Once understood, canning fruit is not
difficult, but always is exacting work,
because success depends upon doing
just the right thing at the right time.
The fruit selected must not only
be of choice variety, but large, well
grown and ripened.
Strawberries are the one exception
to- this rule, for the medium sized
less watery berries that ripen toward
the last of the season have a finer
flavor and color than the larger fruit.
Use granulated or loaf sugar, and
let every vessel and utensil employed
in the various operations be of gran
lite, earthen or wooden ware. To re-
tain the delicate, natural favor and
attractive appearance of fruit it must
be cooked in the jars.
Place the fruit in the jars as fast
as prepared, shaking gently to fill
the interstices, make a syrup with
boiling water and the quantity of
sugar specified; fill jars to within the
rubbers; place jars in a fiat bottomed
vessel, fill same t~wo-thirds the depth
of jars with tepid water, cover and
boil steadily until the fruit seems
tender when pierced with a fork. Re-
move one jar at time, set on a hot
plate, fill to overf1owing with the
boiling water or syrup, wipe off top,
adjust rubber and seal
