LOS AIsTGELES WAY
I^or: the month of April Los Angeles
i ranked second In building growth
among all 'the great cities of tlie
t'ntted States. Figures published In
Lob Angeles Herald Bhowed the total
number of permftts Issued was 933, rep
resenting a valuo cif $8,360,577. In April,
1908, the total number of permits was
722, representing a vali f $1,019,957. j
in the history of) tho city, the mag
nlflcani new April: record has been ap- j
proached only oncev Thai was In June,
L 906, when 766 penults were Issued for
Improvements valued at $2,371,620.
The prosperous progress of Los An
geles is Indicated by report; from < very
branch of industry, but perhaps
strikingly by those from the building
Industry than from any other. Jt used
t,, be said there were seven wonders
..t' the world, but the record making
and record breaking growth of Los An
is an eighth.
This progress Is accompanied by in

of a quality that won the voteless, veto

times smilingly smoothed an Irritated

PENCIL INDUSTRY
lIEXCIL wood adds another to the
profitable industries <>f California,
A newspaper dispatch says ;t
tralnload or" cedar loga from Sierra
county is on the way to Ban Leandro
to be used in the manufacture of lead
pencils, This cedar is well adapted for
the manufacture of pencils, and there
Is no reason why pencils made In Call
fori la should n"t become popular.
The pencil Industry will have great
advertising value. Every pencil fin
ished and shipped should be stamped
"Made in California," and when abun
dance of manufacturing power is avail
able in this city pencil factories will be
established here, and the nation will
begin to use pencils "Made In Los
Angeles."
GOOD LUCK!
GOOD luck to the citrus fruit grow-
It era who arc on their way to
>-" Washington to defend this great
California industry fore the Interstate
commerce commission. Questions of
vital interest will be staled, let us
hope, in a way that will brine; prosper
ity to the growers. They are: Can the
railroads advance the lemon rate from
(1 to $1.15 a hundred pounds? Is the
present orange rate, $1.15, a just rate
or should it be reduced? Should the
shippers be allowed to pre-cool and pre
iee their own fruit and send it east
without re-icing on the way?
Why hesitate to raise the Maine?
The government of the United States
had resolved to go to war with Spain
when the Maine was dispatched to
Cuban waters. Nay, war was discussed
as early as the presidential inaugura
tion day. It was the delay, the hesi
tation and the "piffling" over a casus
belli that gave opportunity for the loss
of tha Maine. Even if the Maine had
not bi en destroyed there would have
been war with Spain.
