roses of a thousand varieties run riot.
A majority of the residences stand In
spacious grounds, lot of 50x150 feet be-
ing the smallest occupied by house or
any pretension, even within a stones )
throw of the business streets. Many
have from one to five acres of ground,
all in a high state of cultivation, with
well kept. verdant lawns, upon which the
fig. orange and palm cast grateful
shade Along the sides of the streets
shade trees are also the rule, the favorite
varieties being the graceful pepper,
which grows to a great size. the eucalyp-
tus, the grevilla and the acacia.
The almost universal material for resi-
dences in Southern California is wood
pine and redwood the latter being used
altogether for outside and largely for in
side finish This material. while amply
sufficient for the climate, lends itself to
graceful decoration undreamed of by
those who have been accustomed to
houses OF brick or stone.
A great variety of architecture is found
among the residences of Los Angeles.
The picturesque and comfortable early
Mission style which should have been
more extensively adopted long ago by the
American settlers, is at length coming
into vogue Some of the more pretentious
of these Mission residences have spacious
tiled courtyards, covered with glass, in
which fountains splash. flowers bloom
and birds warble.
1t costs less to build in Southern Cali
fornia now than it did in the early days.
Again. $4,000 residence here is prac-
tically as good as a $4,000 residence in
the East.
One of the most attractive features
about a home in this section is the Won
derful rapidity with which vegetation of
all kinds grows, so that instead of hav-
ing to wait years for new residence to
assume a settled and homelike appear
ance the owner has to wait only few
months until his house is surrounded
with thrifty plants and climbing vines.
while even some trees, as In the case of
the eucalyptus, grow up to respectable
size within a year and can be planted
around the lot while less rapidly growing
trees are attaining size, thus obviating
the bare, hard appearance attaching to
new residences in less favored climates.
however beautiful architecturally, the
buildings may be.
The population of Los Angeles is cos

with many choice trees and shrubs. The
oldest and best improved of the city
parks. on Sixth street. not far from the
business center, is known as Central
park. The trees here have attained
large growth. Hollenbeck park is tract
of about twenty acres, on the east side
of the river, on Boyle Heights, 1t has
been improved with shade trees and

remnant of the thousands of acres of

1t may safely be said that this tract Of
fers the greatest possibilities for diver
sity of growths of any piece of ground
within the limits of an American munic-
ipality. Much of the land is within the
frostless belt. The views of mountain,
valley and ocean, city and plain are
grand in the extreme.
What has been said in regard to Ely
sian park Is true of the latest acquisition
to the parks of Los Angeles-Griffith
park--a tract of 5000 acres, donated to the
city. 1t Is located about mile north of
the city limits and embraces a varied as
sortment of mountain, foothill and valley
scenery. A boulevard to connect the
parks of Los Angeles has been com
menced.
After all is said, however, the chief at
traction of Los Angeles to new arrivals
lies in its beautiful homes. The rare
beauty of the grounds surrounding the
attractive homes of Los Angeles, Pasa-
dena and other Los Angeles county cities
is constant theme of admiration on the
part of eastern visitors. Other cities
may show grander business blocks. but
when it comes to gardens Los Angeles
is facile princeps. The mildness of the
climate permits the most delicate plants
and trees to flourish in the open air all
through the winter. At Christmas may
be seen hedges of calla lilies. geranium
bushes ten feet and more in height and
heliotrope covering the side of a house.

perfume. Giant bananas wave their

The street railway system of Los An
geles is very complete There is prob
ably no city of the size In the United
States that has such a modern and we'll
equipped system, the total mileage of
single track being over $50 miles, all cleo
tric There are suburban lines to Santa
Monica, by two different routes; to Re-
dondo, also by two routes; to Long
Beach, to Newport, to Pasadena and
Altadena, to San Pedro, to Alhambra
San Gabriel and Monrovia, to Whittier,
to Glendale and to Santa Ana. Work Is
progressing on complete system of
suburban lines, which will take in all
the important points within sixty miles
of Los Angeles, including Pomona and
Riverside, sixty miles distant, forming
altogether a network of over ZOO miles
of electric railroad.
For a dozen years past Los Angeles has
been the scene of great activity in build
ing operations. Scores of fine business
blocks and hundreds of handsome resi-
.dences have been built. The value of
the building permits issued In Los An
geles during the year 1906 amounted to
s1s,2 5000. The actual value of the build
ings was much larger.
Residences and Parks
Every variety of location for resi-
dence may be found within the city lin
its, and the person who cannot be suited
here must indeed be hard to please. The
city lies about midway between the Sierra
Madre range of mountains and the ocean,
and about 30 feet above the sea level.
The Los Angeles river, which is almost
devoid OF water during the summer, but
is sometimes transformed into torrent
for few days in winter. runs through
the city from north to south. In the
northern and western portions of the city
limits are hills OF considerable altitudeN
from which magnificent views may be
obtained of the surrounding valleys, with
the ocean in. the distance, the picture be-
ing framed In the north by a succession
of grand old mountains.
The southern and southwestern por-
tions OF the city are level, with gentle
slope to the southwest. Across the river
is Boyle Heights, a high, gravelly mesa

There are dozen public parks within
the city limits, aggregating over 500 acres,

marks the end of years of campaign
on the part of osteopaths of the state
