What does LosAngeles live on7
Why, the tourist, chiefly. Will you
believe that there is estimated to be
between eighty and one hundred
thousand tourists in this city and that
the revenue derived from these peo-
pie is estimated to be 100000 per
day2
DO you know that it is possible to
obtain better apartments or hotel ac-
comodations and cheaper and better
meals in this city than in any other in
the United States7 Well it is no Joke
On every square in the business part
of the city there are from one to four
hotels, apartment or rooming houses,
aud in all parts of the city there are
apartments that may be secured for
price that seems impossible when the
character of the situation is consider
ed. The cafeterias and restaurants of
every grade and character are on
every hand and meal can be obtain
ed at almost any price. Think of
going into hotel that is larger than
any in Toledo and learning that they
serve four course dinner from II a.
m. to s p. M, at the nominal cost of
25 cents. Understand, too, that this
is no sloppy beanery, but a high grade
hotel, and they give we'll cooked
meal, served in good style, and COM
posed of excellent viands, as will be
attested by the thousands of people
who daily visit this place. Of course
there are higher priced and much
more exclusive places, where one can
pay price in accord with his estimate
of his own dignity and desire tor dis
play. Our party stopped at the Mum
hotel which Is a modest but most eX-
cellent place conducted by Arthur
Mum formerly of Weston and we'll
known IN Perrysburg, and like many
other hotels in the city furnishes
rooms only and furnished entertain
ment at price that was less than
half that charged by other places we
had visited In cities farther north.
only mention this so that nv readers
may know that when they wish to go
to the coast for brief visit that Los
Angeles will furnish them what they
want and not rob them.
The street car system of LosAngeles
is something remarkable. Cars 60 in
every direction in, through and out of
the city. The interurban traffic Is
conducted so that one may obtain
passage to any of the numerous vii
lagos and towns. cities or beeches at
almost any hour of the day, and the
speed made by these cars is really
wonderful.
Property values are remarkably
high. and it is difficult matter for
the animated to understand why they
areso high. During the past seven
years the city has made wonderful
advances in building, and the man
who was venturesome enough to put
a few thousand dollars on real estate
here few years since has been able
to realize golden harvest However
there is much property for sale and
bargains are more plentiful than buy
erS.
The beaches near this city afford
great amusement and pleasure for
the tourist, for it is here that all
classes of people from every part of
the world may be found enjoying the
beauty of the ocean scene and salt
water bathing, and the sandy beach
lines are constantly filled with people
themselves among the
breakers or resting and sleeping on
the sands. All the latest styles of
bathing costumes are here displayed
the long, short and open work patterns
being on exhibition, and an excellent
opportunity is offered for the study of
anatomy. With this there is also
found every possible device for sepa-
rating the tourist from his money.
Rider says they are the smoothest
working separators he ever saw, and
believe me, that boy knows.
The Venice, Santa Monica and Long
Beach are said to be among the most
beautiful beaches In this country.
A visit to the town of San Pedro
about 25 miles out from Los Angeles
is of much interest as it is here the U.
s. Government is improving and con-
structlng one of the principal harbors
along the Pacific coast. and several
millions of dollars are being expended
In the work. Several of the govern
ment torpedo boat destoyers were in
the harbor and they were a beautiful
