An Irish Heart.

Take Innocence and Candor and q
love for every right,
And mix them up together with
goodly share of Fight
And add dash of Pathos and Of Sym

And equal parts Of faith in God and
fervor in the Prayer,
And Charity's sweet emblem might be
tucked in there to show
That Hope is ecr resplendcnt IN y
soft ecstatic glow,

Nor be ashamed to claim it nor 10

But simply pour in Humor of the bril-

And all the loved ingredients Of
healthy, human mind.
And place it on a pedestal of oynx

And then call all the people in to wit

This fond and true inscription, taken
from Life's every part:
This is. dear friends, common

ARROYO GRANDE

The town of Arroyo Grande, aptly
named from its large, clear, flowing
stream of water, which rises in the
Huasna range of mountains and emp
ties into the ocean at Oceano, is sit
uate about four miles from the beach
and fifteen miles south of the county
seat at San Luis Obispo, is the central
trading mart for very large terri
tory, which is widely known through
out the United States for the fertility
of its soil and quantity and variety
of its products. 1t is also favorably
known for the stability of it's busi-
ness men and farmers, and despite
the Generalization of the money mar
ket, which has had a depressing effect
on business interests, the district is
steadily advancing in growth and pros
perity. The stringency of money
which has been severely felt else
where has been scarcely noticeable
here, the local bank having been ca
pable at any time to meet all neces-
sary requirements. For the past two
years large sums of money have been
expended on improvements al the sea-
side, the coast now attracting wide
attention among tourists and other
people of pleasure.
The crops for the season compare
favorably with any part of the state,
and it's seed and root products are
expected to give a good average yield.
In the business arena there have been
no failures, but on the contrary new
enterprises have been initiated in the
development of the oil industry and
organization of a cannery company,
from which much good is expected.
The business center of the town en-
braces several blocks and supports a
chamber of commerce, grammar and
high schools.
The resources of the district are
dairying, stock raising, agriculture,
horticulture. berries, root crops of every
variety and choice seeds.
The development of oil in the out
lying hills being still in its infancy is
possibly the only industry which is
somewhat retarded in its operations
owing to lack of capital to give a thor
ough test to the deeply embedded shale
formations of part of the'Coast range
which find their chief outlet at Arroyo
Grande. But everywhere a spirit of
hopefulness pervades the most intelli
gent portion of the community and
after the present political uncertainty
is ended and a full knowledge of what
the policy of the next government may
be there is no doubt industrial condi-
tions will assume their wonted activity
and the trifling inconveniences to which
many have been subjected will be for.
gotten in the whirl of progress and
blessings of prosperity.

vantage of cheaper lights and motive
power. We already have the lines of
the big Bay Counties Power Co., which
originally started in this county.
The Northern Electric railway is an
accomplished fact and daily testifies
to the splendid opportunities in store
for the people of this community. The
California Midland will be completed
within the next year and half and
add still more to our supremacy as a
trading center for the vast mountain
country to the north eand east of
Marysville. Steamboats, have once

Our fruit crop this year will supply
thousands of people with employment
and furnish food for hundreds of thou
sands.
Our gold mines and gold dredgers
are contributing to the wealth of the
nation, and during the late financial
stringency the banks of this city never
closed their doors nor refused to cash
all checks presented in the course of
business. We had no need for scrip.
AT this time there are four immense
reclamation projects under way in this
immediate vicinity and when ready for
the market will furnish homes for ten
thousand people.
