BEST TELEPHONE SERVICE
ON THE PACIFIC COAST

What would social and business life
be without the use of the telephoneT
Distance and time are annihilated by
the use of the wonderful invention. ana
now no home and no office or busi-
ness house is In the swim for con-
venience and successful business OPP
erations without the. installation OF a
telephone. They are an absolute neces-
sity. The telephone Is the great time
and money saver. It gives you impor-
tant information speedily and 1t OBJ
'viates the expenditure OF large sums
for travel and personal expenses.
There are In the neighborhood OF
10000 telephones In use In Los An
geles alone, while In every city and
town on the Pacific coast the instru-
ment is installed In countless num-
bers.
Several strong corporations are in1
terested in providing the public with
the best possibie>telephone service, and
millions of dollars are invested IN
equipment and for the erection of suit
able buildings to properly meet the de-
mands OF the cities and the country
districts. Ia Los Angeles there are two
strong companies whose managers de-
vote their time and their best thought
to the convenience of subscribers. An
nually large appropriations are made
for the betterment of the service, and
franchises are granted promptly for
the extension of the lines.

INTEREST is GROWING
IN EUCALYPTUS TREES

Just now the extensive planting ana
growing of eucalyptus trees on the
Pacific coast is engaging the invest
ment of capital. There are about $50
specimens of eucalypti. The trees are
native of the coast region of Australia
and Tasmania. Most of them can be
grown in Southern and Central Cali
fornia along the coast, and a few in
Arizona and in New Mexico. The most
essential requirement for the growth
of the blue gum Is an adequate supply
of soil moisture; also, a warm climate,
dry atmosphere and a high percentage
of sunshine. The tree grows better on
deep, loose, sandy loans. Irrigation is
not necessary for old, deep-rooted trees.
1t is an evergreen, and one of the most
rapidly growing trees in the world. In
this section it has attained height of
175 feet and a diameter of five feet in
quarter OF century The blue gum Is
extensively used in Southern California
as windbreakS to guard the citrus or
chards The tree is also valuable for
fuel and for the oil distilled from it's
the chief source of fuel supply. In
Southern California the demand rem
ders commercial planting for fuel prof1t-
able Eucalyptus timber is used for
wharf piling. The wood to some extent
resists the attack of the teredo and
other marine borers. Blue gum is also
used for fence posts, telephone and
electric light poles and railroad ties
the Southern Pacific and the Santa Fe
companies are now planting extensive
tracts of land with blue gum for that
purpose The wood is well adapted for
the wooden parts of agricultural inn
plements, for furniture, hardwood floor
ing, etc, and the demand increases
with the decrease OF supply OF hard
woods. 1t is a growing industry, and
adds one more to the numerous de-
velopments of Southern California

SCALES YOU WANT

In dealing with the public the busi-
ness man who uses scales is always
vitally interested in securing the best
weighing apparatus that money will
buy, and 1t is naturally of the first
Importance that the scales should be
right, for the dealer does not want to
get the worst of a transaction, neither
does he desire to flim-fiam his patron
whose trade and confidence he is al
ways anxious to retain. Many old es-
tablished firms handle the best lines
of scales of every description that are
made, and branch firms also carry
scales of equal reliability. Los Angeles
scales can always be relied upon for

OLIVE PAckERs-oIL

The heavy production Of olives in
various parts of the Pacific coast Sec
ton has resulted in the establishment
of many olive packing houses In Los
Angeles-companies that have built
big plants and give employment to a
large number of expert operatives. The
olives are prepared for the market with
great care. being put up neatly and
often sold in carload lots for the home
and eastern trade. Our olives are the
best grown, and early every season the
supply is exhausted. Over four hum
dred thousand gallons of olive oil were
marketed last year and for the present
year the estimate is 100000 gallons.
This industry Is growing in importance
and value every year in Los Angeles.

goods. In dry goods, notions and fur
nishings generally the Los Angeles

the leaders in this business. They not
only provide supplies for many of the
largest retail establishments In the city

VALLEYS OF WIDE EXTENT
ON THE PACIFIC COAST

Two great valleys of the Pacific coast
even now astonish the world for the
quality. variety and quantity of pro-
duction. The San Joaquin and the I'M
perial valleys are the garden spots OF
the world. and the area is vast. while
the quality OF the soil is of the best
Ten or twenty acres In either valley
owner in a. state OF absolute independ-
ence. Settlers are pouring into both
valleys from every direction by tens OF
thousands. purchasing acreage at prices
that are regarded extremely low COM

are empires of themselves and are des-
tined to be peopled by millions of agri-
culturists and horticulturists who
will transform the territory into great
fields of plenty and groves of fruit
with numberless cities and towns OF
commercial Importance.

FRUIT PRESERVING INDUSTRY

Large sums of money are invested
profitably in the preserving and can
ming interests of the Pacific coast. In
Los Angeles and also in many other
enterprising cities of the coast there
are numerous companies and firms en-
gagged in the preserving of all varieties
of fruits grown by the producers. the
products finding a ready market at
home and abroad at all seasons of the
year, the financial returns enriching the
managers and the country at large. The
varied products of the coast offer extra
inducement for those familiar with the
best methods of preserving fruits. and
as the field is large and Is yearly grow
ing more extensive the preserving in
terests become more and more impor-
tant. Western products are prime
favorites in the eastern market and are
preferred above all others.
