Concerning Points of Interest" in
 Los Angeles and Phoenix.)

Most everybody what goes to Los Impresshun at it They all agrees at its the Biggest and most Delitefle Village at they ever seen. It's got enuff Fokes a Twin there Regerly to
 make a City of it an neerly all Visit
 ors wonders why they don't do it. Wun man he sez Los Anglous is All Rite but most of the Fokes ain't got over their Country Wage yet If they'd only get Around Some an see some Metropolitan life they'd make a Town there which'd be a Hummer. -They's ? things at Holds Los Ang- ! laus Back. Wun of 'em is the I'm preshun at so many of 'em has at | they ain't Nowheres Else. found lots of Citizens there at had never been out of Los Anglous county. Some of
 'em thinks at the Salton See is the Atlantic Oshun an at the North Poal is somewhere in tn Tehachepie an at tn South Poal is down at Tie Wanna, jist blow san Diego. They all know about tn Passific Oshun becoZ they seen it, but tn rest is all Heersay which tn Corts sez is Unadmissible an ain't to be bleeved.
 They got a Port down there Som CTS which is called San Pedro which tn inhab'tance thinks is tn only
 Landin' Place they is fer ships on tn Oshun. When ever they is Dis tinguished visiter a-comin' to Los Anglous they is a Called Meetin' of tn Chamber of Commerce and Committy on San Pedro is appointed for to show it to him. The Committy meets the Visiter an sez. 'Of Coarse you want to
 see San Pedro without no Delay. We'll hurry you out at Wunst, fer life is un- | certain m you mite Die first. No body
 wants to die without seein' San Pedro The Committy then takes him out | an tn rest of tn Citizens follers 'em
 in Kerridges an on Foot or on Horse back
 ''Th' Committy Dints out along tn
 Peer an sez Behold San Pedro. Look at tn Water It's Wet an they is
 enuff of it fer all tn NAvies of tn World to Ride at Anker in. They can
 Anker all tn way from here to tn sandwich Hans which we're thinkin'
 of AneXin next
 Nobody of any Consequents ever
 goes to Los Anglous an Escapes seein'
 San Pedro. It Remines me of Feenix 1 in tn Early Daze. If a Stranger ever dropt into town somebody got Hold
 of him an sez Say. have you seen tn Austrich orchard yit?' An'if he sez
 he ain't an ain't got Time now hell
 see it tn Next Time. tn LOyle Citizen he sez No you won't. yOu'll see it
 Now Tn Visiter Protested in V.ne.
 But he sees tn Austrich Orchard an
 then they took him to tn Orange or
 chard an tn Arzony Falls mebbe to tn Hole tn Rock an then brot him
 back to FeeniX an Released him. In
 those Daze when they wasn't but wun Austrich Orchard an Wun orange or chard everybody had to see 'em or die 1 They was cases of Obstinit Strangers which had their Cloes All Tore off be-
 fore they'd consent tO visit these Pints
 of Intrust
 Now an then some citizen of Los Anglous Betraze a Disposishun to Rove Around an See things Whats called { tn WOnderlust Somethimes seeZes tn 1 most Adventures Of the Ottymoblists
 of Los Anglous an they runs Cleer
 Beyond the City Limits in d Regular
 Dare Devle Spirit of Recklousness. an wunst some of 'em got as far away as FeeniX.
 But when they got back they sez
 Never Agin- We seen all tn world
 at we keer to see. Los Anglous is
 good enuff fer us. We like tn At
 mosfear here Better. an We can live within our Inkum. In Feenix you can't
 get segar or a Glass of Sody Pop fer
 less n a Nickel an they hold you up fer
 10 cents fer a Shine. Our Hotle Bills
 was so big at some of us cudden't
 bring 'em hoam an We had to leeve 'em'" LITTLE JAMES
