STORY THAT TELLS WHAT'S
 DOING IN STRICKEN SAN FRANCISCO

ness and new life on Oakland, but to my mind, if the people were as much of the hustling type as the San Franciscan, Oakland would be Chi cage of the west She is blessed with a much better climate than San Fran cisco and has all the room in the world to grow.
 But the unbounded perseverance, and courage of the San Franciscan will prevail undaunted py the great ca lamity, and while there will be many assertions from the personnel of her leaders in the business world, there will be eqally efficient men ready to step in and take the places of the easily discouraged
 But in the meantime-and in the final home stretch, MT. San Francis can, it behooves you to look out for Los Angeles. You are handicapped by temporary chaos, and you are over weighted because you have nearly all of your city to rebuild. Still ! have confidence in you.
 The actual physical growth of Los Angeles is already the metropolis of Southern California, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico and practically Old Mex ico. It is conterminous, in Old Mex leo with Chihuahua, Sonora, Sinaloa as Los Angeles and adjoining watering places are today full of cultured Mex jeans that come to enjoy the climate and business possibilities.
 That harbor at San Pedro, which is within few miles of Los Angeles, will be completed within two years. It lies directly in line of Hong Kong. | When the Panama canal is completed | r Ice .l h,,- l<.x< | ly 500 miles nearer the isthmus than San Francisco. For all purposes of trade with Central and South Ameri- can markets, Los Angeles has the same advantage. She can offer to the merchants of the orient transit across the continent to tidewater less than half the distance available to any possible commercial competitor. Los Angeles is the queen and cen ter of the most picturesque group of l little cities that exists. There is some thing irresistably romantic in the ar ray of beautiful, aristocratic young ling municipalities. The residences and mansions present the most up-to- | date and at the same time unique types of architecture. Clinging yine5 climb the porch pillars, and whole sides of cottages are hid beneath l layer of rich green leaves and bright | colored blossoms. The landscape is made bright by the flowers in the gar deps, blossoming plants in baskets swinging on the porches, flowers in the windows-flowers everywhere.
 The pretty suburbs of Los Angeles are unequaled. These little bedrooms of the southern city begin at Point Concepcion on the north and extend to the Mexican line on the south. They include Santa Barbara, with it's inter- esting Spanish missions; Pasadena, Riversides, Redlands, Pomona, Santa Ana and San Diego.
 Here is where the oleanders grow to the height of full grown tree. The heliotrope is often trained over the roof of the house, all in bloom, and frequently in perfect flower in mid winter.
 ] Los Angeles is a city of parks, for the beautiful homes found in intermi- nable succession, giving splendid park effects. But, in addition, no city in the United States is more abundantly supplied with parks proper than Los Angeles Westlake, Eastlake, Central and other parks are really bijousf while Elysian park, containing nearly TOO acres, is a flowery wonder. Grif- filth park, containing 3,160 acres-one of the largest if not the largest, park in the worlds undoubtedly destined to be a marvel of beauty when com pleted.
