SAN FRANcIsco'S NEW DEAL

There viii now he immense opportu-
mites for the nottingham in San Fran
cisco. The city. is going to be imme-
diately rebuilt and the call for mechan-
les win in short while bring into
activity and demand every resource of
the artisan and every variety of the
skilled workman.
And that isn't all. New fortunes are
possible i'm San Francisco. Even the
professional man, if he he energetic
and of the temperament known as the
hustler will find there many chances
to gain wealth and fame.
Since the days of 1S49 there has been
a steady inflow of gold to San Francisco.
The city has piled up these treasures
in vaults and enjoyed itself upon the
fruits of its easily earned capital. In
consequence it has long lacked the en-
ergy and enterprise that are so marked
a characteristic Of Southern California.
But now all this is changed. These
vaults must shortly come open. These
treasures must be poured out rapidly
into the work of making a new and
grander San Francisco. This natu-
rally will bring new men into the field
of activity. New influences will be at
work. New combinations and associa-
tions will he formed, and within a few
years there will be great names in San
Francisco that were hitherto unknown.
Hence there is no reason why those
who have lived in San Francisco should
fee from there to swell the already
sufficient ranks of the employed in
other cities There will be work in
San Francisco for every man who
wants to work. There will be doors of
pportunity-which by reason of the
conditions cannot be found elsewhere
opened at every turn for all who seek
q chance or who are ambitious.
Los Angeles wants its honest share of
population, but it has no desire to
persuade away from San Francisco
anybody who rightfully belongs there
or who can contribute worthily to that
city's immediate upbuilding. The door
of hope stands ajar at San Francisco.
Let every brave man whose home was
in the stricken city and who desires
to return there take courage and get
back into the splendid field of activity
that will soon be astir and awhirl at
the Golden Gate.

NOW FOR HARD WORK

Now let the interrupted wheels of Los
Angeles business revolve again with
normal speed and regularity. This city
has responded with lavish hand and
eager heart to the wall of woe from its
northern sister. The tangible feature of
the response is not yet completed, but
it will be completed by the systematic
method employed thus far. On all that
Los. Angeles has done and all that it
may do in relief measures for San
Francisco will be found the stamp of
intelligent direction.
There is no reason, therefore, why all
the normal activities of this city should
NOS be resumed at once under full pres
sure. In fact, it now is the part of
wisdom to make the business pressure
a little greater than the normal in or
der to make up for the heavy drain
caused by the spontaneous contribu-
tions for the relief of San Francisco.
We are now just fairly at the begin
ming of spring and summer business ac-
tivity. Mercantile trade has been
backward" because of the protracted
rainy season this year. there being
comparatively little incentive for the
average citizen to doff winter garments
that stil felt comfortable. But now
we are in the last week of April. Last
week we had two or three days of
summer foretaste, with the sharp re-
miuder that no time should be lost in
preparation to don warm weather at
tire.
All signs promise a spring business
season Of more than ordinary activity
in this city, Now is the time to buckle
down to hard work.

EDUCATORS SHOULD COME

by all means should the teachers
convention be held in Los Angeles this
year. The teachers owe it to California
to come here. They have planned to
come; much money has been expended
in anticipation of their arrival, and the
state expects them to live up to the
agreement.
Of course it is out of the question for
them to meet in San Francisco. No
one place lent more loyal support to
San Francisco's claims on them than
did Los Angeles when their coming was
first discussed, and none would more
gladly cooperate with that city in en-
tertaining them We're that possible, 1t
now steps forward and proffers its
own matchess features and facilities.
In mere justice, the convention there
fore should turn this way.
Los Angeles will prove an ideal center
for this meeting. 1t was held here
seven years ago. and even then the
city charmed all comers But in the
meantime it has grown from a small
place to a metropolis, 1t will be 6
lesson in the progress OF a municipality
to everyone who comes here.
Besides it will teach much geography
of most practical sort if the coun-
try's educators will assemble here. II
will prove by ocular demonstration thai
no earthquake damage came to anyon,
or anything in Southern California.

that while in the same great state, Loi
Angeles and San Francisco are farthe
apart than are Washington and Boston
and that what affects one almost never
reaches the other.
But above all the convention SHOULD
come to California for charitable rea
sons if for no other. California needs

A member of the bar of Baltimore re-

They were out on the bridge, wait

After that the lonely stranger was

City Los Angeles naturally succeeds
to its immense commerce and traffic
and becomes the metropolis Of Califor-

a phenomenal growth in the next year

city on the Pacific coast." This is an

the late Charles Hoyt's laughable farce,
had its inception in one of the dining
rooms.
The first Cliff house was one-story
building. To reach it you passed over
a winding drive of nearly six miles
from the city, through the Golden Gate
park of more than 1000 acres. There
was a sudden turn when you came out
of the trees and before you was the

of new experience, like one making
a discovery, came to you with a dila-
ton of spirit you never had known in
the past. If you stayed to see the sun
set all the rest of life would carry with
it the picture your eyes beheld, for
nowhere else, except in the low tropics,
might such a scene be spread to view

could be relied upon-you saw a pro-
fusion of gold and crimson and
sapphire and blue and black fringed
with fire. a picture that hung for a
brief space above the heaving sea, with
the wonderful green's of the landscape
in the front and then almost before
you knew it, twilight had come and
gone and night was on and you wan
dered into the Cliff house with your
fri I-
sat for a space, feeling rather small
and insignificant and a trife mean-
choly. but glad, too, that you had
seen it.
The ride back to the city if you went
on the cable cars was an experience
never to be forgotten. The streets
were of the most astonishing steepness,
though millions had been spent for
grading. The cars used to have an
open space in front where you might
sit and enjoy to the full the sensation
of plunging down the most startling
inclines and yet see the car stop at
perilous point to allow a passenger to
alight.
You passed the famous Mob hill, too,
on the way back, the place where bo-
nanza kings built wonderful homes,

credit is left may be awarded to the
modest institution where the great
