CHANGES IN LOS ANGELES
''Is the Coast line of the Southern
Pacific from San Francisco to Los An
geles running yet?"
That was the question propounded
to Chief Clerk Ulnlstead of the Ange-
lus hotel yesterday.
The questioner was r. D. Kirby, a
capitalist of Radner, Pa, who arrived
at the hotel yesterday accompanied by
Mrs. Kirby.
In 1895 Mr.. Kirby visited California
and at that time he heard much
Of the new road in course of construc-
ton. The time has passed so quickly
for him that he did not realize that
the road has long been in operation.
Il never saw anything change like
this place." said Mr. Kirby. when
was in California the Coast line had
only reached from San Francisco to
San Jose and everyone was looking
forward to the time when it would be
finished.
Los Angeles was not nearly such
city as 1t is now, and if l had not
seen with my own eyes 1 would not
have believed it possible that a city
could grow so much in so short a time.
Fasteners have not any idea what
hustlers you people of the west are.
| am only hoping for the usual beauti-
full Southern California sunshine, that
| may explore and see how the out
lying districts have grown"
