S6,OOO,O00 will be the cost Of a new
hotel to be built in this city known al
Los Angeles Commercial hotel. The
men at the head of 1t want something
a little bit better than the New Am
bassador that cost $5,000,000. Tremen
dous growth and expansion in every
field OF industry are shown at the end
of the year. During the year 1920 there
were 425 new manufacturing enter
prises established in Los Angeles, a
gain of 10 over the year 1919. The
number of employees for the concerns
will be from IL to $4,000 and 81 ,2OO,00
invested California MS named as the
leading state for the past year in crude
oil production, producing 105,000,00
barrels. OF this amount southern Cali
fornia produces the largest percentage
of the state total and is one Of the
richest oil fields in the world. Pasade-
ma is to have a new stadium that will
seat $4,000 people and will be the larg-
est Of it's kind in the world. Involving
millions Of dollars a new merger that
will bring together II individual thea
trical industrials of the southland in
cluding 80 theatres and motion picture
exchanges and various real estate
holdings for the construction Of a num-
Der of theatres was announced by Corr

age tank in the west; It's capacity is

Provides Many Houses
Los Angeles in 1920 made the best
showing of any city in the U. S. in the
matter Of providing housing accomoda-
tions for it's population. More than
half of the $6,O00,000 involved in new
buildings started in Los Angeles was
for housing, and people are still short
of houses to meet the demand. Here
Hubby cuts his own wages more than
one half to dodge alimony. The man
worked IA hours before the separation
and since then ne had promulgated
an eight hour day enough for himself
to live on
Strong Men in West
One of the most striking features Of
the film stars parade was the feat Of
Cameron, the strong man. While stand
ing in the tonneau of the liberty six he
towed another auto by means Of a rope
in his teeth for more than two miles
(enough to make a bull dog turn green
with envy) Here is another man who
claims to surpass all the museums in
the country. He owns a certificate of
his own death and he carries it side
by side with a receipt for his own
grave lot in the cemetery. When
everything was ready to bury him he
came to life again and he has kept the
death certificate and receipt. Here is
a new cure for cold When it starts,
jump into bed and do like McSweeney
did fast, but not so lOng-just twenty
four hours and drink twelve glasses Of
water This method will soon drive
the germs out of the system. If we
could all eat one half as much as we
do there would be fewer colds and
if we should give the other half to
those that need it the world would be
we'll fed.
Egyptian Styled Theatre
Long Beach theatre will cost mil
lion. dollars. Plans were accepted to
house one of the largest and most Ella
borate motion picture theatres in the
world. The interior will be in the style
of ancient Egypt and will be provided
with every known convenience. 1t
will take one year to build it, South
Dakota people open the season for pic
MICS. If you see many persons carry
ing a basket with sandwiches, hot dogs
etc, reminiscent of eats, those are
signs that the picnic season has open

Ocean Park January 20; North Dakota

1t was Ireland's night last night
at Trinity Auditorium. Thousands OF
Irishmen, their wives and colleens
thronged the great ediftce to hear the
great celebrated Irish orator, the Rev
Peter G. Yorke of San Francisco dis
cuss plans for the recognition Of the
Irish republic and Irishmen were not
the only auditors of the speaker Thou
sands were turned away. We were
fortunate in getting a seat and had
Arthur Waite and wife with US,
guess he thought we were trying tC
make an Irishman out of him. They
are at SanDiego at present and art
going to visit the many places Of in
terest in this section of the countr!
before going back to Baraboo.
