FIND Los ANGELES
FIRMLY FOUNDED
CITY Is NOT H0T AIR, SAY
SHRINERS
Guests of the Week Enthusiastic at
Reception They Have Been
Given, and Want to
Come Again

AS Fiesta week grows older and the
Shriners take advantage of the vari-
Gus entertainments planned for them
their good opinion of Los Angeles
grows and praise for the Shriner hosts
of the Angel city can be heard every
where.
c. H. Henry, potentate of Aleppo
temple, Boston, had this to say of Los
Angeles:
Before 1 came to California 1 did
like great many other people do who
intend to take journey. 1 read every
thing 1 could find about Los Angeles.
1 read numerous descriptions and each
one made me laugh.
''I thought how absolutely ridiculous
1t was to try to make people believe
that there was in any part of the
world a place so perfect as those de-
scriptions of Los Angeles would lead
one to believe. Since that time 1 have
seen for myself and 1 believe that half
of the truth has not been told. would
never have believed that Los Angeles
and, in fact, all of Southern Califor-
MIA, could be so beautiful If 1 had not
seen for myself.
1T intend to go back and tell every
body L meet about it. If it was not for
the fact that have so many interests
another New England winter. 1 have
seen Pasadena, Catalina, Hollywood
and today Long Beach, and 1 am de-
lighted. The magnificence of this city
has amazed me and the hospitality of
the people is superb"
People Are Great
DR.. ]. D. Robertson, also of Boston,
declared this conclave to be the finest
he has ever attended, and he has not
missed one in five years.
1.-THE people here are great. That's
the only word for it, They have left
nothing undone, and 1 do not know
how we will be able to express our
gratitude. The women have Joined
hands with the men in everything for
our entertainment and I do not think
1t would be possible to say too much
in the way of thanks to them"
E. Haring Dickinson said the elec-
trical parade was the greatest ever and
went so far as to say he would be
glad to witness 1t many times and
would not grow weary.
Los Angeles has outdone herself"
said J. Warner Hutchinson of Lulu
temple, Philadelphia.
Everywhere we go we are royalty
entertained. 1t was Long Beach today
and the people could not have treated
US better than they did. Sightseeing
is sometimes very tiresome, but it is
not a bit that way in Southern Cali
fornia. 1 have attended many con-
claves and 1 believe this is by far the
best of all. The city is such wonder
fully beautiful place it would be impos-
sible for us to help falling in love
with it,
Like the Exposition
The MADE in Southern California"
exposition has been attracting much
attention and the great number of
manufactured articles found there has
surprised all visitors.
"I thought they said there were no
manufactures of any kind out here"
said one Shriner after visiting the ex-
hibition. "These people who talk
about this country being built out of
hot air must have failed to build, and
thus have a crouch. I think it looks
as if everything has been built pretty
substantially, and there are many
older cities that have fewer manufac-
tories"
Better Than Home
C. S. Henderson, representative of
Algeria temple, Montana, says he has
been to four annual meetings and de-
clares the conclave in Los Angeles the
best ever held.
1--WE cannot say too much to the
people of Los Angeles. We have gone
everywhere and seen everything so far
and we intend to keep it up. l don't
think want to go home at ALL"
Mr.. Henderson is sheriff of Silver
Bow county and an evening paper pub
lished dispatch from Montana the
other day accusing him of being in
charge of posse in search of a band
of train robbers, while in reality he
was learning some of the fine points
about Los Angeles.
81 thought they would make me
come back when 1 heard about those
train robbers, but fortunately they
were caught and 1 am free to enjoy
myself"
w. F. Jackson, representative from
the same temple, indorsed Mr.. Hender-
sons opinion and added a few of his
own.
It's simply great-that's all there is
to it, was his verdict.
| Hillsboro, N. D., says he has never
seen such hospitality anywhere and
declares he hopes the Shriners will
meet in Los Angeles again soon.
Wants to Come Again
1T can't be any too soon for me-
was his concluding opinion.
! s. L. Frazer, recorder of Aad tenn
pie, Duluth, characterized Los Ange-
| les as the most beautiful city in
America and added his assertion was
beyond question
What Los Angeles does not know
about entertaining is not worth know
| ing. This has been tho hest anter-
