|spectlon tour of the frost-bitfen
Grange belt in the south. You read
perhaps not long ago that the Cali
fornia orange crop was ruined, that
the country was stagnant.
1t would seem so. On the whole
I've never seen more demoralized
set of men. Perhaps that is unfair to
say, and had | CHANGED by later they
would have recovered.
Not Used to Blows.
But these people have lived under
ideal conditions for so long that one
blow seems to knock them fat. When
one realizes the season troubles of the
eastern farmer you can't feel that
things are ruined here.
What with cyclones, or drought, or
frost or two each season, or flood
in certain sections, your eastern farm
er scarcely knows whether he'll sell
his crop by the yard, quart or pound,
whether he'll have any crop at all, or
whether it will be blown over into the
next state.
Here after unprecedented seasons
of prosperity nature gives us one bad
blow, the cry seems larger than the
hurt. The man who in times of pros
perity kept poor orange grove, and
lily tended it, was naturally badly hit;
but of the rest-well one banker in, a
small town expressed it this way:
There's been a good deal of visiting
at safe deposit boxes since the freeze.
Some of the securities held many
years for just such an occasion are
being brought out. There won't be

STR|DESOF Los ANGELES MAKE
SANFRANCISCO LOOK SLOW now

to support an exposition than to up
build city.
Never mind my answer in defense,
the man had given a new twist to an
apparent situation. II probably inst
possible for another boast city to out
strip San Francisco in size and COM
mercial activity, but this Southern
country makes San Francisco look
very small in some things
It's humiliating to find fifteen to
eighteen miles from Los Angeles bet
ter roads than we have streets In San
Francisco For weeks I've steered
around bumps and run over sunken
sewer trenches in San Francisco, the
same ones all the time. Seemingly
there's never an effort to fix them.
The one highway out of San Fran
cisco has been practically impossible
for months.
z You can go out of Los Angeles in
any direction for miles, over perfect
roads. There is scarcely any slum
section in the place.
A magnificent street car system
brings the country home close to the
city's center.
1t is hard indeed for San Francisco
to offset such claims as these by the
simple boast that our night life is
joyous and free, yet that is what San
Francisco seems to be most famous
for in the eyes of the world.
The wonder of it all is that San
Francisco has done what she has,
leveIed by an earthquake and fire,
throttled and robbed by a thieying
crew flying under a union labor
flag. The pity of it is that the world
as stranger, too often comes to San
Francisco to see, te, enjoy life, to
throw away few days and few gold
pieces in the Joy stream of life
and then comes ON down south to set
tie permanently. You can't blame the
world and his wife. They Judge much
by extremes, and excuses do not
smooth over apparent conditions.
There is this note of difference,
though. between the north and south
of California-and mark that well. I
went through the fire and earthquake,
and shall remember always the mag
nifieent courage, the unquenchable OPP
timism of the rebuilding area. There
was little or no complaint, no talk
bus of the bright future

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal.,. Feb. I'll
I've just finished a tour of Southern
California, made after several years
absence, and the amazing development
of all the Southern country, impress
ses itself even on those who knew
that the entire coast was taking
bounding steps forward in the mates
of development.
To a loyal San franciscan the i'm
preston can't help but come that tbs
essential difference ebtween the two
great cities of California is that the
Northern one is making ready foi
thousandsaof people to come and look
us over-yia the exposition, while the
Southern city is making ready for
thousands to come here to live. There
is a deal of difference in the energies
which go toward these things.
The lastthing a San Franciscan car
do with any becoming grace is to
draw comparisons with Los Angeles,
but a personal loyalty is no excuse &c:
dropping a discussion of thing that
don't set just right
SO you're from San Francisco,
said an Eastern man to me the other
night in a San Diego hotel. ''You
love the old city, guess. Its free and
easy hospitality, its cafe and night
life, the tang in its air appeal to me
nightly. | Ike it too, but / can see
some of its glazing defects. I've

would be if San Francisco raised
those same millions to spend on her

fortably traversable, in running high

TEN, an extended park system, bet

Act III
Upon discovering the ruse Rigoletto
hires one Sparafucile to assassinate
the duke, and Sparafucile, aided by his
sister, Magdalena, induces the duke to
go with him to an inn, intending there
to make away with him. The dukes
fascinating manner, however, inspires
Magdalena to save him.
Act III
In the meantime Rigoletto has his
daughter disguised in male attire, to
thus make her escape to Verona, and
brings her before her departure to the
inn, that she may see the dukes faith
lessness. While outside she oyerhears
the plot to murder the duke and hears
the would-be assassins state they will
surely kill him unless they find a
substitute for him, so as to secure the
promised reward from Rigoletto. Gill
da, with woman's devotion, Is only too
eager to sacrifice herself for the man
she loves. and enters the door only to
be mortally stabbed. Sparafucile
throws the body into sack and gives
her to her father, thus completing the
compact Rigoletto, about to cast
sack and all into the river, hears the
voice of the duke, opens the sack, and
discovers his daughter still breathing.
She dies forthwith. Rigoletto, over
whelmed, realizes the fulfillment of
the invocation of the two counts.
