between this city and Seattle and is
owned by San Francisco and local
capital.
We find as we expected that as
soon as our harbor was assured,
manufacturing establishments be-
gan to come in and as time goes on
we expect to have them hocking in
here by the dozen.
There are some fifty inquiries on
file at the present time and we have
located few very promising plants.
A few Of the attractions of Long
Beach are as follows:
The 100000 draw bridge across
the entrance to the harbor, 500, 900
Pier, 100000 Auditorium, $4,000
Public Library, S1,OOO,000 Hotel
Virginia, 5000. 900 Bath House, $780,
900 Methodist Church. $500, 900 Pres
byterian Church and many other
beautiful and costly churches. The
beautiful parks of the city and the
adequate high school and public
school buildings. The city's broad
streets with scores Of miles Of paw
ing and the we'll kept lawns in front
of the modest, though cosy homes
facing the thoroughfares.
We have eight banks in the city
with total deposit of 81 millions,
and capital, surplus and undivided
profits of II million. Each one of
these institutions is growing rapidly
and Long Beach is certainly enjoy
ing steady, healthful growth.
Wife and never lived in a place
where we continuously met so many
old friends and acquaintance as
right here in Long Beach and it will
always be a pleasure to us to well
come each and every one Of you
when you make that promised trip
to the Beautiful City by The Sea-.

Town is Great.

DEAR gazette" You will no.
tice by the enclosed tag that | have
an imperative duty to perform which
| gladly do at this time.
AS you know, this western coast,
especially southern California is
making great bid for population
from all parts Of the United States
and in getting the population we
expect to receive proceeds with
which to develop the more rapidly
this beautiful country Of ours.
In speaking Of Southern Californ-
ia | would mention more particu-
larly the city Of Long Beach, the
inhabitants thereof being sure that
they live in the garden spot" of
the world.
In writing the above it reminds
me of the story / once heard about
a funeral in one Of your eastern
cities. The mourners were sitting
around the bier and as several peo-
pie had expressed themselves con-
corning the kindly life of the
deceased there was a lull when a
stranger who happened to be one
of the company becoming uneasy
arose and said that while the friends
were preparing to make further re-
marks, and in order that the meet
| ing might not drag he would like to
| make a few remarks concerning
Southern California.
During the month of November
we have had three annexation cleo
tions and Won in each instance,
thereby gaining large increase in
territory so that we need not worry
for years to come concerning place
to locate our eastern friends. We
at the same time increased our pop
ulation about 1000 so that to-day we
estimate that we have $4,000 people
within the corporate limits.
