groves of orange and lemon, fig, peach, pear, and apricot orchards; he will
see on one side of the town great sweeps of almond and walnut trees; on
another, ranches planted in vineyard and olive. There are, perhaps, three
million fruit trees growing in the district, half of which are in full
bearing. The land bears, too, great crops of alfalfa, which in fertile
places is cut from three to six times a year. Oranges, of course, are the
chief export; but there are, besides, wine, brandy, wheat and barley,
sugar-cane, and all varieties of fresh vegetables. If the tenderfoot hear
that Los Angeles corn grows sometimes to a height of twenty feet, that
pumpkins weighing four hundred pounds have been raised, or even that holes
from which beets have been pulled are of a size sufficient for fence-posts,
he need not doubt. There are three large beet-sugar factories, and in the
county $100,000 worth of olives, and more than that of honey, are annually
produced.
[Illustration COURT-HOUSE, LOS ANGELES.]
The population of the city is cosmopolitan, as may be known from the fact
that, in addition to the exceptionally good English papers of the city,
organs in German, French, Spanish, Italian, Basque, and Chinese are issued.
A large number of Chinese, several thousand, are engaged in raising
vegetables or in domestic labor of the several kinds. As in all California
towns, they have a residence section of their own, and are quiet, orderly,
reliable, and useful.
Los Angeles is a city of churches, and its philanthropies are many; its
educational advantages are remarkably good. At the head of a noticeably
complete system of training stands the University of Southern California,
which opened its doors in 1880, with Dr. Bovard as President. Its College
of Medicine is a well-equipped institution, and its progress is identified
with the name of Dr. J.P. Widney. An exceptionally fine normal school
completes the training given by the public-school system, with its high
schools and fifty-five grammar schools, all housed in buildings which
might be the pride of any community. The buildings which house its free
library system, its City Hall, and its County Court-House, are well
conceived for their several purposes, and architecturally of great beauty.
[Illustration IMPROVED HARBOR OF SAN PEDRO, PORT OF LOS ANGELES.]
But Los Angeles is above all a city of homes and of gardens. The mildness
of the climate permits the most delicate plants and trees to flourish
throughout the winter. Giant bananas, fan and date-palms, rise above the
houses, and at Christmas are seen hedges of callas, geraniums ten feet
high, heliotropes covering whole sides of houses, and such wealth of roses
and orange blossoms as baffles description.
A feature of Los Angeles is its beautiful sea beaches. Easily accessible by
trolley and by rail, Santa Monica, Redondo, Long Beach, and San Pedro
provide unsurpassed facilities to the citizens, and the island of Santa
Catalina, twenty miles off the coast, is even more attractive--a seashore
resort where bathing is a comfortable pastime every day in the year, and
where fishermen find delights unending.
The construction of the Government breakwater at San Pedro is a great
commercial enterprise and will be of certain benefit to the city, which
will thus gain a larger share of the increasing trade with the Orient.
Three million dollars have been appropriated for deepening the water over
the bar, so that large vessels may come to the wharf. Dry docks and
fortifications are to follow; and a new railway, with its terminal at San
Pedro, will connect Los Angeles with Salt Lake City, and open to trade a
new and rich section of country in southern Nevada and in Utah.
