BIRTHDAY OF LOS

 CITY OF THE WEST

Ceasing for a fraction or : moment the breathless rush for the coveted goal of metropolis of the Pa ciflc coast, the citizens and citizen esses of the southern California city will contemplate the romantic past, when there were no skyseraperse nor business blocks nor factories nor bun EaIows, and when the divisions and sub divisions and sub-sub- divisions in to which the country around Los An Reles is pfaEted were fields and vine yards. In those distant days the City of Our Lady the Queen of the Angels "a title now contracted into Lasngel- lyA-was but a collection Of adobe huts, a sleepy village in which the padres were the benevolent monarchs and the little plaza was the center of such life as there was Those were the days of the cacquero and the guitar and the tortillas and senoritas and friJoles-happy. care-free, dolce far niente days when tourists and real es- taters and new-thoughters were un- known

When Los Angeles was captured by the Americans on August 13, 1s46 it was but the merest speck on the map, and for decade after decade it languished and scarcely dreamed of impending greatness. The change began about 1880, and by 1900 Los. Angeles had pass ed the hundred-thousand mark in pop ulatfon, and had commenced to sit up and take notice.

. represented real gain

And now see what! On July 1 of this year. according to the estimate of the United States Census Bureau, Los Angeles had a population of 43s.- 914. It stood in twelfth place among the cities of the United States, having passed in it's headIong flight Milwau- kees Cincinnati. Newark, New Orleans and Washington in the space of five years. What is more important. from the Los Angeles viewpoint, the popu- lation is within ID, 900 of that of San Francisco. If this estimate is correct and the citizens of Los Angeles will feryently assure you that it is, while the San F-ranciseiscan will indignantly deny it-Los Angeles is within easy walking distance of it's goal, and be- fore the next censuszis taken will have become the metropolis of the Pacific coast and the largest city west of St. Louis.
 Today also marks the birthday of California journalism. for it was on August Is, 1846, that the first American newspaper was launched in the future Golden States. It was published in Monterey, the first capital of the state, and bore the name of The Californian, with Robert Senple and Walter Col ton as editors and proprietors. Within a decade California had a number of fourishing newspapers, and the Even ing Bulletin of San Francisco attained international fame in 1856 because Of the shooting of it's editor by the owner of rival journal, the Sunday Times. The Bulletin, then as now, was a champion of reform, and the shooting So aroused the people that the vigilance committee was revived and James Casey, the assassin, was taken from the jail, tried and hanged by the neck until quite dead. The Monterey Cali fornian was not the first Pacific coast paper, however, that honor belonging to a short-Iiyed Orekon publica tion which bore the remarkable title of the F'lungudgeon Gazette, or Bun1b1e-Bee Budget, edited by the Long tailed Coon.'' and Devoted to Scratching and Stinging the F'o1lies of the Age.''

New Haven, Aug 15-The attention of many in Connecticut today was turned for the time being from the war of the nations in Europe to two political gatherings-on at Hartford in the nature of a statewide rally of the Progressive party. and the other at Stratford, where the Republicans will have a sheep bake late in the day to be followed by a discussion of party conditions in the state and nation.
