fremont Man Tells What it Has
Done i'm California.

(By l.. w. Rumlll)
I occasionally read letters in your
columns from Maine people report
ing their sojourn in other states II
YOU will kindly allow me space, 1
will report.
believe it is generally the case
that no matter where one travels,
whether in other states or foreign
countries, or what conditions they
find there and how much they may
enjoy it, when they hear the name OF
their native state spoken, it gives
them thrill and humping in
their breast that bespeaks their
loyalty to the soil of their birth.
On November 27, my wife and l
arrived in southern California, in
the city of Long Beach, which is To-
Gated on the Pacific coast, twenty
miles south of Los Angeles. On our
trip here we passed through four
teen states and saw things of inter
est too numerous to mention mere.
Perhaps the greatest thrill we got
was crossing the mountains, de-
scending from the snow elevation by
a route encircling peaks, crossing
canyons at dizzy height, and flnally
to emerge through a gorge to the
foothills and vast fruit ranches,
bearing blossoms, green and ripe
fruit at the same time. what a
change in two hours ride. Then
we came to Universal City,
the home of the moving pictures,
Hollywood, the millionaire city, and
the beautiful city of Los Angeles,
Ellsworth American. [volume] (Ellsworth, Me.) 1855-current, 1926-05-12

then on through level tract to our
destination at Long Beach.
This city has a wonderful climate,
the temperature ranging from Is de-
grees at midnight to 80 degrees at
noon-just right for one to enjoy a
sheet and blanket at night and a
flannel suit in the day. There are
none of the winged and crawling
vermin usually found in tropical
climates to disturb ones peace
and comfort here There are
hundreds. of miles of concrete high
ways leading in all directions. One
may take plunge in the warm
Pacific and, in three hours ride by
auto, may frolic in the snow on TOP
of Mt. Badly.
This city has had a wonderful re-
vival in the past five years, increas-
ing in population from $1,000 to
10000. Los Angeles, twenty-five
years ago, was a hamlet of a few
thousand inhabitants, and it was
then generally thought that, on ac-
count OF scarcity of water, it would
never grow to any extent. But a
few engineers came here from the
East, tapped lake 275 miles north
of the city, and brought the water
down through the mountains at a
cost of $26,000,000. At the several
falls in their handmade river they
produced water, light and power,
not only for Los Angeles, but for the
territory hundreds of miles to the
south of it. Industries started up,
population rushed in, and today Los
Angeles is an industrial city of L.
100000 population.
Long Beach, with the aid of the
government, is spending $11,5O0,-
900 on the development of it's har-
Dor. or, rather, making one for it
had only lagoon for fish boats be-
fore. The effect is grand expan-
sion of the city. These two cities
are fast merging into one, and are
destined soon to become the New
York of the Pacific coast. What has
caused this great change? Climatic
conditions? No, the same have ex-
listed for centuries. Natural power?
No, they have had to produce that.
Natural harbors? No, they have had
to build them. The millions they
have spent in advertisement and de-
velopment are what have brought
them into the limelight of the world
Why should a Maine citizen find it
necessary to go into other states and
howl about prosperity, when the
Creator endowed our own State with
such vast natural power, so many
commercial advantages and scenic
beauties unexcelled by any state in
the Union? Our present governor
was not the choice of my ballot, but
l confess that in my opinion, Ralph
O. Brewster, through the Maine Ad-
vertising and Development Associ-
alton, is doing inestimable service to
our State, and l think each city and
town in the State should contribute
literally to it's support.
