PEELER Author, Owner and Publisher Standard Blue Book Publications, U. S. A. After several mcjnths of pleasant labor, intermingled with most agreeable associations, we sub- mit without an apology the Standard Blue Book of California, Edition de Luxe of Los Angeles, San Diego and Southern California, but in doing so, we desire to emphatically state it has not been our object to cover in detail every part of this great section from a social or a commercial viewpoint, or to give a place therein to every eligible and trustworthy citizen. This would be impossible as the book would be too large and voluminous for general circulation throughout the United States on account of excessive postage charges. Its size would be uninviting, and possibly uninteresting for the financier or man of business affairs, hence we have adopted the plan of restricting the size of this and all of our Blue Book Publications. We have, however, extended invitations to a large number of eli- gible, trustworthy citizens of this section to assist us in making this work worthy of this Imperial State, and we take pleasure in stating that those found represented herein socially and commercially are worthy of any trust and stand pre-eminent in their various lines of industry and profession as unselfish, pro- gressive and patriotic citizens. Our second edition will contain the commercial and social exploitation of the various cities of Southern California that are omitted from this work. Our plan of bringing together and blending the social and commercial conditions of a com- munity and state into a happy, entertaining and attractive volume is original and unique, and we be- lieve to be the most effective and powerful method extant of presenting the actual conditions of a state or a country to the world. POWERFUL ADVERTISING MEDIUM The Advertising Section in this edition was positively limited not to exceed fifteen pages, to make the book exclusive and to enable the work to go through the mails at a reasonable expense, reach- ing the marts of trade and the centers of population throughout the United States and European coun- tries, and admitting only such persons, firms or corporations as could establish a record for integrity and honesty and whose express purposes were clearly and substantially trustworthy and honest. Thor- ough investigations were specifically made in each and every instance as regards both the advertiser and the advertisement. Standing behind this section is the written guarantee of A. J. Peeler & Co., the publishers, and the assurance that individual investigation has been made with unfaltering exactness and that every person contained in this section, from an advertising standpoint, is deserving of public confidence. Our best effort is given to present to the world a good, clean, reliable trustworthy publication, free from photos, write-ups and cheap flattery, for which a compensation is paid. An unselfish, pat- riotic devotion to the best interest of a city or state creates at home and abroad the most powerful impressions upon the minds of the people, and in the end, the best publicity is that publicity which betters economic conditions, increases trade, enhances property values and insures general prosperity. The Standard Blue Book ^l do this. AS AN AUTHORITY The Standard Blue Book Publications are accepted as an authority and as a reliable guide by bond brokers, banking institutions, public service corporations, the homeseeker, investor, tourist, and capitalist, and has proven a powerful medium in upbuilding the community, introducing one section of the State, their people and industries to the other and in placing business interests in touch with capi- tal seeking investment. It can readily be seen that we have diverged from all stereotyped methods in the plan and have blazed out unaided through virgin forests in hope of new discoveries in ideas and methods, seeking to bring together, if possible, a happy combination of the social and poetic side of life, intermingled and blended with the prosaic conditions of commercialism and wealth into a happy union, a crystallized charm of entertaining, reflection and study as well as a peerless and most powerful ad- vertising medium. This work will be invaluable to the merchant, the banker, the manufacturer and business house of every nature as the only direct, permanent, reliable method in reaching the wealth and culture of a community, section, state or nation. 6 The Standard Blue Book of California INDISPENSABLE TO THE HOME We have incorporated in this work such matters as to make it indispensable to the home as a constant reference book, and it will there occupy the same relative position as the city directory does in the business world, as well as financial and exclusive social guide book. SOCIAL SECTION Our Standard Blue Book publications are fashioned after the Blue Books issued fcv the United States Government on trade conditions, blended with the improved idea of the Social Blue Book of European countries with harmonious perfection. The social section of the Standard Blue Book of California, Edition de Luxe of Los Angeles, San Diego and Southern California, like all of our other city, state and national publications, was held primarily above a money consideration, in its compilation and preparation, and meritorious citi- zenship was first and foremost considered. Every personal illustration contained in the work of prominent club, musical, literary, social, professional and commercial leaders of the State was selected under the advice of an advisory board, and the pretentious and mediocre was excluded. We will eliminate from the Standard Blue Book publications, with but rare exceptions, per- sonal sketches, reserving the right only to preserve historical data in perpetuating some distinguished pioneer citizen whose life is a part of the history ol the country. There will be no space rates charged for any personal photographic illustration in any of the Standard Blue Book publications, but all photographs and engravings must be furnished without cost to publishers to insure insertion. We will properly and justly recognize unselfish and patriotic assistance given us in making this work a success in behalf of civic, social and industrial pride in the State's best interest by dedicating a conspicuous part in the Blue Book for the enrollment of such names of the citizens of Southern Cali- fornia to whom honors are meritoriously due. COMMANDING INFLUENCE The rapid industrial, educational and social development of California demands the production in permanent form, from time to time, of a correct account of the statistical progress, commercial, edu- cational, musical and social advantages and club life of its various cities, portraying therein the names and faces of their men and women who have assisted materially in the general welfare and progress of the country and whose lives have stood for the highest order of enlightened progress. We believe this feature alone gives the work a commanding influence before the American people. CONFIDENCE OF FOREIGN CAPITAL It will be observed that we have brought into the work the personality of many of the citizens of Southern California, because in so doing we wished to make plain and fully exploit our views upon a subject to which we have given twenty-five years of experience and thought. We believe, to encourage a better class of permanent citizenship and to gain the confidence of foreign capital and interest it in our prolific opportunities, it is just as necessary to show the refinement and stability of a community as it is to give statistical data setting out strictly the commercial advantages. STATE RECORD AND FAMILY SOUVENIR Then again, outside of all business considerations, this work in years to come will be prized be- yond a money value as a State record and family souvenir, giving the living a lasting pleasure in com- memorating the names and faces of those loved ones long since passed away to the Great Beyond, and serving as a tribute of respect to those who have done their part faithfully and well in the race and pro- gress of human life. SUCCESS IS DUE If we have achieved any measure of success in the issuance of this edition, we want to take this opportunity to say that our success is due in part to the useful, unselfish and progressive citizens, corporations and business firms of this section of California whose names are found in the Who's Who. advertising and pictorial sections of this volume. Without this aid and unqualified support, zeal and unselfish, patriotic devotion to their sections, city and State, such an undertaking would have been, on our part, the wildest folly. The Standard Blue Book of California 7 MARVELOUS RESOURCES AND COMMERCIAL IMPORTANCE OF LOS ANGELES, SAN DIEGO AND SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA Southern California is often called the Garden Spot of America, and Los Angeles, located in the central portion of Southern California, enjoys all the advantages. It is seldom, indeed, that a city is found that has the marked natural advantages as has this, nestling in a lovely valley bounded by the beautiful Sierra Ne^vadas to the north and east, and to the south and west by the sun-kissed waters of the peaceful Pacific. Los Angeles was founded by Don Felipe de Neve, Governor of the Province of California, in .1781, under the flag of Castile and Leon; only a simple little Spanish Pueblo, with a few strag- gling families. Several years later Americans began to migrate to the West Coast, and found rest in Los Angeles, which was then known as the city of "Our Lady, the Queen of the Angels." In their wake crawled slowly across the continent the steel thread of the railroad, and these 1 6 early families raised such a cry that it was heard by the railway magnates of the East, and it was thus that Los Angeles found a place on the map. In 1860, 52 years ago, the population was only 3,700; in 1912 it has passed the 400,000 mark. It has trebled in a decade, and is now having an influx of about 6,000 per day. A good portion of these are tourists, but it has been noted that after people spend one season in the Garden of Roses, the "lure o' the land" calls them back again, and sooner or later they become residents. From a small country town, the city limits have been from time to time extended, until now she covers an area of 101 square miles. Additions and sub-divisions are rapidly being filled with houses, and as soon as the population is sufficient, elections are held for the purpose of deciding whether they shall be annexed to Los Angeles proper. The street railways co-operate by extending their lines, until no place is far from the heart of the city. There are ample facilities for caring for tourists of every walk of life. There may be found the metropolitan hotel, with every luxury imagin- able or the hotel or apartment house, to meet the demands of the modest purse. More than 1 1 5 hotels and apartment houses were erected during the past year and are rapidly going up in all portions of the city. $60,000,000 was spent in 1911 on hotels alone, and plans out for the expenditure of $2,250,000. Los Angeles is neither a winter nor a summer resort; it is an all year resort. The average temperature for the past 35 years has been 62 degrees. The mountains to the north and east break the cold wave, giving mild winters and the nearness of the Pacific prevents sudden changes. The maximum summer temperature for over thirty years has not exceeded 83 degrees. Living expenses are such as to meet the demands of any person, whether of moderate means, very poor, or of great wealth. Fruits and vegetables grow all the year, and can be bought at small expense, staples are practically the same as other United States cities. Mechanics and shopmen do fairly well, receiving wages sufficient to keep their families comfortably. Servants, perhaps, receive better remuneration than other working men. Salaries for the clerk, office help, or the collector is smaller than the average American city. California has 302,71 3 public schools; Los Angeles County ranks first with an attendance of 55,800, a gain of 4,925 over preceding years. There is an average attendance daily in Los An- geles County of 4,138 in the kindergartens, 24,976 in the high schools, 263,599 in common schools, or a total of 302,713. There are 135 public schools in Los Angeles City, with 1,600 teachers and 52,000 pupils. Its school sites are worth approximately $3,380,100, its buildings $2,495,300. It is the policy of Angelenos to keep children out in the sunshine and air as much as possible, and in order to accomplish this, open-air schools are found in every part of the city, where practicable. It has been found in each instance that the children are happier, that they study better, and that they consider their study a pleasure instead of a task. There is soon to be opened in the heart of the city a Cosmopolitan School, where pupils from all sections may assemble for the study of various lan- guages. Many of the public schools are open in the evenings, for the purpose of keeping the young from the streets; to offer opportunity to those employed during the day, and who otherwise would be without the necessary advantages; there are especial classes to prepare young men and women for their life work. Studies embraced are commercial and business law, stenography, typewriting, book- keeping, woodwork, cabinet making, carpentry, dressmaking, millinery, domestic science, cooking and the proper knowledge of sanitation. 8 The Standard Blue Book of California Besides these public schools there are many private co-educational schools, academies and uni- versities for the boys, seminaries to prepare the girls to take their place in society. The University of Southern California, a co-educational school, is one of the best of its kind in the country, having at the head of its various departments the best teachers that money can procure. It is a surprise to the stranger to find that there is only one public library in a city as large as Los Angeles, but this library is doing the work of several, as its branches are scattered through different parts of the city. The Los Angeles Public Library was founded in December, 1872, forty years ago, by the voluntary association of a few residents, with a small handful of books. Now there are 846,205 volumes in the library, which includes fiction, classics, biography, science, etc., etc. The circulation for the year 191 1-1912 was 106,045. The city apportoined for its use $132,775, ol which $31,731.1 I was spent on books. 1 here are in Los Angeles City and suburbs 20 parks, the largest of which, perhaps, is Griffith, which contains 3015 acres. These parks are veritable Gardens of Eden, with its tangled flowering hedges, its giant cactus, its palms and tropical plants, with its handsome walks and drives winding in and out, makes a picture which would delight the eye of the most critical. By nothing can a city be judged so well as by what progress she is making looking toward the future. Los Angeles is spending more money on her future than perhaps any other city of her size in the United States today. In this race she is spending millions of dollars. Handicapped first by an insufficient supply of water, and realizing to attain her position on the heights as she deserves, she must have it, she began building an artificial river 240 miles long, to be known as the Owens River, at a cost to the city of $23,000,000, to pipe the waters from the snow-capped Sierra Nevadas to her homes and manufactunes. This artificial river has been under construction for some time and will not be completed for at least another year. She is spending thousands, yea, hundreds of thousands of dollars for the betterment of her roads. She is now, and will within the next few years spend $10,000,000 on the making of Los Angeles Harbor, $3,000,000 having already been appropriated, $1,000,000 for the inner harbor, and $2,000,000 for the outer harbor. Besides this, she is building more structures than any city of her size in the world today. One of the first questions asked in discussing a city is "How do her buildings compare with those of other cities of her size." In this respect Los Angeles stands at the front. No new style of architecture is known in the East that Los Angeles has not already adopted. True, she has no tall skyscrapers, but she has plenty of territory upon which to encroach, and the glorious California sun- shine may be enjoyed as much in the heart of the city as in the suburbs. More than 500 new buildings are started each month. 1910 statistics show that buildings were erected to the amount of $21,- 684,100. and those for 1911, $23,000,000, an increase of $1,315,900. Southern California, and Los Angeles in particular, is the ideal spot for the real estate dealer. Tourists coming once, usually come again, and generally expend money in either city, suburban or ranch property. Considering advantages offered, realty is a good investment, as a lot bought today in the suburbs, three years from now may be near the heart of the city, thus doubling or trebling in value. There are approximately 134,145 savings accounts in the savings and state banks of Los Angeles; on these accounts the interest paid during 1911 amounted to $2,183,687, or an average of over $1 7 to each depositor. More than two-fifths the entire population of Los Angeles carry a savings account. There has not been a bank failure in Los Angeles sufficient to create attention for more than 20 years. There are 20 banks in Los Angeles, 9 of which are national banks. Postal receipts for 191 1 were $1,651,718, which was an increase of $174,777. The cus- toms receipts were $900,000, an increase over 1910 of $129,409.06. Los Angeles is the terminus of three large railway systems at the present time, the Santa Fe. Southern Pacific and the Salt Lake, and six great continental railroads planning to extend operations to the Pacific Coast, which will mean an expenditure of between $600,000,000 and $700,000,000. The Rock Island, St. L. & S. F., Great Northern, Gould Lines, Burlington, and Chicago and Northwestern, are planning to extend their lines to this terminus. Present mileage of roads entering The Standard Blue Book of California 9 Los Angeles is 27,862, mileage of proposed roads 51,610, total 79,472. This will place Los Angeles in touch with the entire United States with lower freight rates, and it will mean a great expansion in business operations in every line. Legitimate mining in Southern California and the Southwest generally offers a field that is ex- ceedingly attractive, because competition is smaller than in most industries. There are 54 minerals found in California, which within the past 24 years have netted to the state $847,927,928. AN INTERESTING GROUP OF BANKERS OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA 1. T. F. Sartori 6. W. R.

Snyder 1 The Standard Blue Book of California The California production for 1911 of oil was 79,000,000 barrels, an increase over 10 years ago of 69,000,000 and 70.000.000 barrels. The oil bearing lands of California prob- ably cover 850 square miles, with a supply of probably 8,500,000,000 barrels, and the California oil industry today is in its infancy. Because of the length of the growing season, absence of summer rains, brilliance of sunshine, etc., etc., fruit grows to be the very best as to size, beauty and quality. Both temperate zone and semi-tropic fruits are grown in abundance, as there are no winter frosts to kill the trees or to freeze the ground. This is a most excellent climate for celery. California will probably in the near future be one of the foremost celery sections in the United States. In 1910 1,281 cars were shipped, and in 1911 4,553, an increase of 3,278 cars. The crop was valued at $800,000. There are in Southern California 1,214,372 nut trees bearing fruit. The date palm is grown on the California desert and conditions are favorable for a growth sufficient to supply the demand of the United States. Olives and olive oil bring into the state each year a revenue of $3,200,000. In 1911, 1 75,000.000 pounds ot prunes were produced and sold in Southern California, the crop was valued at $8,750,000, an increase over the preceding season of 85,000,000 pounds or $4,250,000. Every pound was sold before they were fully prepared for market. California prunes also found a market in thirteen foreign countries. The growth of beans depends entirely on climate, two-thirds of the world's product of lima beans is furnished by the counties composing Southern California. The largest bean ranch in the world, which contains 1 4,000 acres, which yields approximately 80,000 bags of beans per annum, bringing in a revenue to this ranch alone of $850,000, is located in Southern California. The aver- age yearly revenue to the State from beans alone is $9,836,000. California derives from her table grapes $4,452,200 per season. Practically all the raisins sold in the United States are reared in this section. Twenty years ago the United States imported about 54,000,000 pounds of raisins from foreign countries; for the past few years she has only im- ported about 6,000,000 pounds, a decrease of 48,000,000 pounds. If all California raisins were used in the United States, California could supply the demand and export 2,000,000 pounds each season. Her revenue from raisins is approximately $4,500,000. California manufactures from her products yearly 45,000,000 gallons of wine and 3,000,000 gallons of brandy, which bring in a revenue to the State of about $3,000,000. There are 10,000 citrus farmers and about 145,000 acres devoted to the rearing of citrus fruits. Orange groves sell for from $1,000 per acre up, and range from 10 acres to several hundred. The trees bear within 7 or 8 years, and yield about 150 packed boxes to the acre. Last year there were at least 1,179,273 boxes of oranges shipped from California. Calilornia lemons are seedless, and are harvested after the Florida. Jamaica and Porti Rico lemons, which should give them splendid sale, but the rail haul is so long, and rates high, that Cali- fornia growers are unable to compete with the handlers of the Sicilian lemon on the Atlantic Coast. However, during the past season something like 750,000,000 lemons were shipped from California at an average selling price of 1 '/2 cents each. She even now supplies nearly one-half the consumption of lemons for the entire United States. The revenue derived from oranges and lemons during the past season was $50,000,000, which was an increase over the preceding year of $20,000,000. California is one of the 1 6 best beet growing states of the Union, and has I 3 counties wherein the sugar beet is found. The annual output is about 300,000,000 pounds, or $15,000,000. From her fruit crop alone she received a revenue over and above $90,000,000 per annum. Her eight principal farm products are hay, barley, wheat, dry beans, potatoes, oats, hops and corn, which bring in annually something over $82,000,000. Commerce has a tendency to follow the trend of least resistance. Los Angeles enjoys two kinds of commerce, domestic, or that between Los Angeles and other United States ports or island possessions, and that between Los Angeles and foreign countries. Heretofore railroads have enjoyed a long haul, carrying products to and from the Pacific Coast, across the continent, or else vessels have had to sail around the Horn. When the Canal is finished, it will mean a shorter water haul, which The Standard Blue Book of California 11 Apartment Houses owned and operated by T. Wiesendanger, 408 West Sixth Street, Los Angeles, California. 1000 Apartments, completely furnished and equiped for families. Ready to step into, cook meals, and enjoy home life. Better than hotel life, more comfort, less expense. 12 The Standard Blue Book of California will result in close competition in water and rail rates. This will increase the demand for California products in the East, and vice versa. All products imported from foreign countries and unloaded in Los Angeles Harbor will mean a net gain to the city, and there are many from Central and South America and the Orient, including raw silks, teas, coffees, fibers, cocoanuts, palm and cocoanut oil. matting, rubber, rice, spices, mahogany. Petroleum products, asphaltum, citrus fruits, etc., are in de- mand in foreign ports. Last year the United States imported over $600,000,000 worth of foreign products. A large portion was for the Pacific Coast. They were unloaded on the Atlantic, and high height rates paid to haul them here. There is absolutely no reason why Los Angeles should not take care of her portion of this import. Los Angeles hopes to have her $10,000,000 harbor completed by the time the Panama Canal is finished. There is a crying need for manufacturies of every description in the city today, as she realizes she can only hope to export her own manufactured products, and man- ulactunes cannot be brought here until there is sufficient water supply, or the completion of the Owens River. There are now, however, 2300 manufacturies in Los Angeles, turning out products valued at approximately $85,000,000, employing 18,000 operatives. Los Angeles is destined to be the metropolis of the West. She has the location, delightful cli- mate, steady increase in population at about the rate of I 00,000 per annum, cost of living is moderate, the very best of educational facilities, is improving her advantages as rapidly as possible. Real estate is steadily advancing, railroad facilities are increasing, and she derives more revenues from her agri- cultural products and fruits than any other section in the Union. When the Canal is finished she will be one of the first great ports on the Pacific where vessels will load and unload passengers and freight, and shelter not only the vessels of the Pacific Coast, but of foreign ports as well. SAN DIEGO. CALIFORNIA On a bright September morning in 1542, or four centuries ago, the first tourists landed in what is now known as San Diego Harbor, floating from the masts of the ships could be found the names "Victoria" and "Salvador." It was the voyage of Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo from Mexico, and was the first time the eyes of one the Caucasion race had viewed the natural beauties of Southern Califor- nia. Juan Cabrillo was so pleased with the sight which met his eyes that he was content to rest in this natural harbor for six days. Just before noon on July 1st, 1769, 227 years later, Father Serra, the real founder of San Diego, arrived at Old Town, and the spot of his landing is still sacred to his memory. The Banner of Castile and Leon was unfurled to the breeze and a small fort built on Presidio Hill, the guns were fired in salute and the City of San Diego was born — San Diego it was called then, as now. Indians did not love the teachings of Christianity, and upon every occasion waylaid the new settlers and murdered them; the colony was visited by disease, and after a year and one-half of effort. Father Serra could not boast a single convert among the red skins. Discontent filled the hearts of his Followers, which grew almost to the point of mutiny when the little ship that had been sent to Monterey for supplies and aid, returned without it. Father Serra was notified that he must abandon San Diego and Southern California. The stout heart of the old man would not yet give up and he begged for only one day more, which was granted him. This he spent in prayer alone on Presidio Hill, and was rewarded at the close of day by the sight of the sails of a ship coming with relief and supplies. San Diego and her surrounding suburbs abound with historic interest. It was at Old Town that the first American flag was raised in California. She boasts the oldest palms and the oldest vine- yards of the State. Romance lurks in every corner. Here is the Estudillo House, famous as the marriage place of Ramona. This is a magnificent adobe house of many rooms and a chapel, a patio filled with flowers, and in the center the Wishing Well. "Quaff ye the waters of Ramona's Well; Good luck they bring and secrets tell; Blest were they by sandaled friar. So drink and wish for thy desire." The Standard Blue Book of California 1 3 Estudillo House was unroofed by fire in 1872, but owing to the efforts of Mr. Jno. D. Spreck- les and others, it was restored and thrown open to the public. A daily lecture is given on Old Town and it is here that the relics of California's early days are found. San Diego County has an area of 4209 square miles, or 2,693,760 acres — larger than the entire State of Rhode Island, and will produce every tree, plant, fruit or vine that can be grown in any section of the world. The leading industry of the county is fruit growing. There are found in abundance the date, banana, pineapple, alligator pear, guava, persimmon, pomegranate, figs, apricots, prunes, grapes, currants, strawberries, loganberries, blackberries, raspberries, lemons and oranges, olives, apples, peaches, etc., etc. It is one of the few spots where rhubarb can be grown. Hundreds of families are now devoting their time to fruit raising and San Diego County has room for many thousand more. Fresh fru^t and vegetables are to be had every day in the year. During 1911 the green fruit values reached approximately a quarter of a million dollars, dried fruits approximately $1 75,000, olives about $60,000. The fertility of the soil is not less than that of the Amazon or Nile Basin. There are about 6,000 farms devoted to the raising of grain, alfalfa, lima beans and fruits, or 1,297,842 assessed acres valued with improvements at about $8,000,000. It is said that one acre of land in San Diego will provide a living for a small family. San Diego is one of the healthiest cities of the country, the temperature is one of remarkable evenness. Very little difference can be distinguished between a January and July day. Wind is al- ways steady, rainy season is of short duration. There is probably not an hour during the entire year the thermometer will register above 90 degrees; it is the land of continual sunshine, malaria is un- known, the health record is excellent, which, perhaps, is caused partly from the splendid water flowing from a granite mountain some 50 miles away, the water is practically pure. It has been said that San Diego is not only a healthy city within herself, but that she is a cure for the diseases con- tracted in other climates. New improvements are being made from time to time on the water system. Morena Dam which is 150 feet high and will hold 15,000,000,000 gallons of water, is the key to this system. From this dam the water comes down the Cottonwood River to Barret Dam, then through the Dul- zura conduit, which is 13 miles long, with 10.000 feet of tunnel, most of which is granite, after passing throueh the mountain side it flows into the upper and lower Otay reservoirs. Water can be obtained in San Diego at 4 cents per thousand gallons, or less than 50% of the cost of other cities. The new reservoir was built at a cost of $5,000,000 and several years work. This water system could abundantly supply a city of half million inhabitants and keep them supplied for years without further rainfall. Ornamental cluster lights may be found in the down town section, and is rapidly spreading to the residence section. Those not ornamentally lighted are lighted with arcs and light towers. San Diego probably has the best lighting system of any city of her size in the country. San Diego has one of the best street railway systems in the country. It is continually being lengthened and extended into new territory as the occasion arises to take care of its patrons. It has the most modern equipment and is kept in the best condition. She has a total of 5 1 miles of track- age, 84 passenger cars and sufficient number of work cars. In 1911 the shops built their own cars in San Diego, building twelve 40-foot combination cars at a cost of over $60,000, and orders for new cars of the newest type from the East have been issued, which will cost considerably over $100,000. The San Diego Consolidated Gas & Electric Company at San Diego is a progressive modern electric company, whose lines and mains thoroughly cover the city and all of the important suburbs. At the present time there are in operation 260 miles of pole line and 315 miles of gas mains in the city and suburban districts. Extensions during the past have been built and are now being built, as rapidly as the growth of the city demands, the company at all times keeping abreast or ahead of the growth of the city. San Diego is soon to be the terminus of two great railways, the Southern, St. Augustine, Fla., to San Diego and the Pacific, with 3375 miles of trackage, the Seattle and San Diego, with 1775 miles of trackage, and perhaps the greatest of all, the San Diego and Arizona, is now being built. This road will give this city the shortest direct route from the Atlantic to the Pacific and will un- doubtedly be the means of a great increase to San Diego, commercially, as well as bringing a greater 14 The Standard Blue Book of California influx of population . Already 500 men, with as many heads of stock and three large steam shovels are busily engaged working from both ends, the Imperial Valley and Mexico. Every effort is being made to complete it in time for the exposition in 1915. San Diegans believe in home industry, hence many manufacturies are established, including box factories, book binderies, brick yards, cigar and tobacco factories, foundries and iron works, furniture manufacturies, manufacturies of jewelry, leather goods, candy and confectionery, show cases, planing mills, cement pipe factories, salt, soap, artificial stone, crushed rock granite quarries, establishments for the canning and preparing for market of coffee, spices, fruits, bottles of wine, olives, and olive oil. etc., etc. There is a total of 144 factories of various kinds. Labor conditions are good for both employer and employees. There is not a better manufacturing site on the Pacific Coast than San Diego. The American-Hawaiian line of steamships from all parts of the world touch here; Santa Fe road to the north and east assist in distributing in those sections, and the new San Diego and Arizona Railroad will open up a new trade territory. It can therefore be readily seen why San Diego does and will in the future thrive as a manufacturing center. Modern buildings grace the business district of the city, and these structures tell the story of San Diego's growth. 1911 was a busy year for architects. The new county jail was erected at a cost of $120,000 of reinforced concrete, of the free classic style. The church buildings constructed during the past year are of the handsomest, with the best style of architecture in the country. A new theatre building is soon to be completed at a cost of more than $1,000,000. The new Federal Build- ing will soon be complete, at a cost of a quarter of a million dollars, and numbers of smaller buildings are rapidly being constructed. During the past year there have been more than two miles of business structures completed. Over a million and a quarter dollars is being spent for good roads, which will place every section of the county in easy reach of the city. Bond issue has been voted for $1,250,000 for 450 miles of boulevards throughout the county. A large force of men are already at work on them. San Diego is known as the Auto City. Over a million dollars was expended during the past year in San Diego alone on automobiles. The conditions are ideal for the automobilist. There is no mud, practically no rain, no snow. In a short ride out of the city, one passes through beautiful orange groves, vineyards, through canyons, up mountains, and in fact, the scenic panorama is unsurpassed by any wonders of the Old World. It is by the status of the real estate market that it is determined whether a city is "finished"' on a "boom" or flourishing as it should. In order to determine this a time must be taken which will give both good and dull seasons. If during this period a gain is shown, it means either a boom which will last for a short time and pass, or else that a city has stirred from its slumber and awakened to its own possibilities. The gain during the past years which has been shown in San Diego Real Estate Market means the latter. Last year was the greatest ever known. New interest was taken in the surrounding farm and ranch lands of San Diego. That which before was wild acres now sup- ports men and women who have answered the call of "back to the soil," and is covered with vine- yards, orange and lemon groves, olives, hay and grain have been planted. Many little farms have been sold in the suburbs of San Diego, and it goes without saying that they will prosper. Real estate transfers in the city herself for the past year have been enormous. In San Diego and Southern California may be found the following minerals and semi-precious stones: Kunzite, tourmaline, hyacinth, beryl, topaz, garnet, sapphire, ruby, yellow topaz, chrysolite, zircon, catseye, moonstone, pearl, chrysoprase and epidote, with rich deposits of marble, copper, granite, onyx, cement, salt, fire-brick, koalin, pottery clay, sulphur, alum, sodium, gypsum, phosphate rock, lime- stone, manganese, mineral soap, antimony, bismuth, sandstone, graphite and mica, and iron deposits, zinc deposits in large quantities near Escondido. It is the only place in the United States where pep- idolite and lithia stone are found in great quantities. Beautiful structural stone, such as Corsican stone, orbicular, diorite and granite are found, also large deposits of marble. The most popular gem mined is the tourmaline. The Naylor Gem Co. of San Diego are owners of extensive mines. The city has about 7,000 acres of land along the seashore, unproductive. On it, however, is to be grown a city forest for the purpose of liquidating the municipal debt and relicvinc; the future tax- payers. She will then be the only city in the United States with a city forest. 200 acres have al- ready been set to trees, and as soon as the soil is prepared, many more will be set. Eucalyptus and Torrey Pines will probably compose the forest. The Standard Blue Book of California 15 One of San Diego's growing industries is that of the fisheries. Small fishermen as well as the dealer are beginning to receive considerable profit. In 1911 the catch of fish was something over 6,000,000 pounds. The average per day of fresh food fish was something like 1 tons. The surrounding states depend largely upon San Diego as a fish market, and tourists throughout the country who are lovers of the rod and reel come to San Diego to enjoy the sport. There was a big gain on both exports and imports during the year 1911 over 1910 of two and one-half times, and the prospect is that the gain for 1912 over 1911 will be greater. 1911 exports reached approximately a million and a quarter of dollars. Foreign business from San Diego and district for 1911, including both exports and imports, amounted to $2,1 41 ,490, an increase over 1910 of $355,658. The imports for 1911 almost reached the million dollar mark. The cash re- ceipts of the customs house showed an increase over 1910 of $10,000. The tonnage of vessels in port in San Diego Harbor was* 1 ,889,074 tons, which was over twice the tonnage of the year preceding. During 1911, 1 37 sailing vessels and 606 steam vessels arrived at San Diego, with a total tonnage for sailing craft of 1 1,551 tons, and steam 1,877,523 tons. Just across the harbor from San Diego is Coronado Islands, one of the greatest summer re- sorts of the whole United States, with its magnificent hotel and its tented city, also its summer cot- tages. It is upon this island that many of the millionaires of the country have their summer homes. San Diego Bay is one of the most beautiful bays in the world. The harbor, generally known as the "Harbor of the Sun," is a natural land locked estuary, free from storms and shoals. It is an important naval base of the United States for the Pacific Coast. It is the home of the Pacific Crusier Fleet, a submarine station, also a torpedo boat station, and a coaling station for the United States Government. Ft. Rosecrans on Point Loma guards the harbor entrance, with its quarantine, coaling and im- migration stations, custom house, weather bureau, internal revenue, aviation and forestry departments. Vessels enter the harbor flying flags of practically every nation. Because of its favorable lo- cation, it is of great assistance in upbuilding commerce, passenger boats, merchant vessels and freight- ers, small sailing craft, etc., etc., put in San Diego at some time on their cruise. The lumber traffic alone is a gigantic one. A million dollars has been voted for the improvement of the harbor, and a new municipal wharf also is to be built at a cost of $1,000,000. The completion of the Panama Canal will without doubt affect every phase of life of the coast country. New railways must be built across the country to take care of the traffic, new relations will exist between importers and exporters of both America and the Orient. San Diego being the most southerly port of the Pacific Coast for the United States, will be the first port at which great ships will stop for the loading and unloading of freight and passengers. It is also the last port for access to coaling and refitting before a cruise to the South. San Diego is the only harbor on the Pacific Coast that is land locked and free from storms, and which is easy of approach. The trade of the Pacific Coast ports of both North and South America amounts to approxi- mately $1,000,000,000 yearly. Half of this is handled in ships plying between Latin-American ports. San Diego must take care of her share of this increase in business at the completion of the Canal and she is prepared to do so. To celebrate the opening of the Canal she will give the Panama-California International Ex- position in 1915. Her biggest business men are enthusiastic over the outlook. It is being advertised throughout the country. The city will undoubtedly benefit from this exposition, as people who come to San Diego for a short while usually make it their home. Exhibitors from all over the world will be there to make this exposition a success. There are more government officers and officials in San Diego, for her size, than any other city in the United States, excepting Washington. There have been millions of dollars spent by the gov- ernment on San Diego and her harbor. At the mouth of the harbor on Point Loma is Ft. Rose- crans and the military reservation. Ft. Rosecrans is not a fort in name only, but is one of the Pacific Coast protections with its huge searchlights, its powerful guns and munitions of war. It is at Point Loma also that the lighthouse is located, wherein has recently been installed at an enormous cost a new light. Here also is located the government wireless station, also the military and naval cemetery and the government aviation school, where army and navy officers are taught to fly, and there is a rumor that San Diego is to be one of the large army posts of the country. 16 The Standard Blue Book of California PANAMA CALIFORNIA EXPOSITION D. C. COLLIER, President Probably the best known man in San Diego is Mr. David Charles Collier, a prominent real estate dealer. At the age of fourteen he began his active business life as clerk in the First National Bank of San Diego; later he entered his father's law offices, then he became prominent in railroad circles at Denver. In 1 890 he again took up law and was admitted to the Bar August 21st, 1891. He entered partnership with his father and remained with him until 1905, during which year he organized with H. A. Howard, the Ralston Realty Co. 1 he most prominent event of his careeer perhaps was the building of Point Loma Railroad, which was completed in less than one year. He is the President of the Panama California Exposition to be held in San Diego in 1915. It is assured success, if for no other reason than that Mr. Collier is its leading spirit. He has conducted three successful aviation meets in San Diego, introducing the greatest aviators of the country. San Diego is often called the city of schools. The public school system is of the very highest order, the best instructors that money can procure are provided, and its school buildings would make many a larger city ashamed. There are over 6,000 pupils enrolled and I 75 teachers, in high school, grammar school and kindergartens. Manual training is a feature of these schools, beginning with raffia and cardboard work in the kindergartens and expanding into woodwork for the older boys and dress- making, millinery, domestic science for the girls, with a thorough course of instruction in the theory of agriculture and horticulture for all. San Diego boasts a magnificent high school building. It is one of the most beautiful and best equipped on the Pacific Coast. She also supports a state Normal, a Bible school, or school of thcosophy. She has a library building costing more than $80,000, a gift of Carnegie, surrounded by palms, pepper trees and many beautiful flowering plants. Its shelves are covered with works of history, romance, biography, latest fiction and the classics. There is a magnificent Y. M. C. A. Building under construction, soon to be completed, at a cost of $150,000. It will contain offices, reading and lounging rooms, gymnasium, bath rooms with tubs, showers and pool, and will be after the most approved Y . M. C. A. plans. San Diego boasts an abundance of parks which are one continuous mass of foliage and bloom. Each of these parks are realizations of some landscape gardener's dream. Balboa, one of its best known parks, consists of I 400 acres, and can best be described as an earthly paradise. She is noted as a city ol churches. She has beautiful church buildings, which shelter ever creed, each having a good membership. Everything possible is done to foster the religious spirit. Re- gardless of your faith when you reach San Diego, you will find others believing as you ready to meet you. bier clubs are among the literary, social, political, civic and fraternal. Among the most prom- inent of the literary clubs is the Wednesday Club. From a musical standpoint, perhaps, the Amphion stands at the head of the list, and many others of scarcely less note. The Elks Club has a fine home and a large membership. The Country Club has a beautilul club house and attendant buildings, and its membership is composed of San Diego's men of sterling worth. There is the Mothers' Club, which does good work, the Shakespeare Club, and various clubs organized for civic benefit, each having good membership and doing splendid work. The Standard Blue Book of California 1 7 A city is known by its homes. There are the homes in the midst of immense parks, surrounded by palms and flowers. There are blocks and blocks of the beautiful California bungalows, which are works of art. Then there are the homes of the lowly. But every home to be found in San Diego is worthy of the name Home, and is beautiful from some standpoint. In the sections given over to the wealthy are found pretentious residences which are examples of the greatest art in architecture, up-to-date in every detail and fitted with every convenience. Sub- division after subdivision has been thrown open within the past two years and homes have appeared as if by magic. San Diego people are proud of their homes, proud of their city, and at no place in the United States will one be met with more genuine hospitality than on San Diego soil. She has the natural advantages for the making of a metropolis, her people are working toward that end, and while her population in 1910 (U. S. Census) was only 40,000, she stands now at 60,000, and shortly after the completion of the Canal will reach the 1 00,000 mark. She has the earmarks of a great city, and within the next ten years will be second to none on the Pacific Coast. A STRONG AND INTERESTING GROUP OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA CAPITALISTS 1. A. G. Kendall 2.

GREER, San Diego Realty Board "Tell us how you grow. Give us a reason for the enormous gains in all the statistical figures concerning your city and territory." These and like demands constantly are being made upon the Chamber of Commerce, Realty Board, County Supervisors, officials, merchants and citizens of the city and county of San Diego. Even the builders of Los Angeles, who in ten years changed a tourist town into a thriving city and in another ten years made of that thriving city a metropolis, are puzzled by the remarkable growth of their sister city to the south. The reply to all such inquiries is simple. There is only one Southern California. The names San Diego and Los Angeles stand as joint synonym for that maeic title of the best advertised spot on the face of the earth. Wherever Southern California is known, San Diego is known, and in recent years San Diego has been doing more than her share in centering the world's attention upon its peer- less playground. The natural sequence is that San Diego and the immediate territory to the east and north have enjoyed more than their share of the growth of Southern California. Thousands of homeseekers are flocking into this southwestern extremity of the United States monthly. Those seeking homes in the city and those desiring to draw their sustenance from the soil are about equally divided. Nearly all have money to invest, and never before in its history has the territory contiguous to San Diego Bay offered better inducements to those seeking certain and ample returns on investments, large and small alike. Property values have increased by leaps and bounds, but nowhere has the upward trend of the realty market kept pace with the gains in building permits, post-office receipts, bank clearings and all other figures which record the growth of districts as accurately as the thermometer records the weather. In 1910 San Diego erected new buildings to the value of $4,005,200, which was nearly a million and a half greater than any former year's record. In 1911 the total value of new buildings jumped to $5,703,605. The first four months of 1912 record a total of $2,623,531, as against $1 .424,635 for the same period of 1911; an increase of nearly one hundred per cent. To draw a lesson: When a city of from 35,000 to 50,000 population builds more than many eastern cities of from 1 00,000 to 400,000 population, and approximately one-fourth as much as the metropolis of the Southwest, with only one-tenth of the population, the reason for our prosperity is obvious — San Diego is drawing on the world for substantial, far-seeing citizens. During the last two years the county has been engaged in the construction of a boulevard sys- tem four hundred and fifty miles in length, reaching every part of the back country and connecting with good roads in the counties to the east and north. This, with the enormous increase in the city's pop- ulation, has been instrumental in settling the rich valleys of the county, where the finest quality of citrus fruits, olives, raisins, apples and table vegetables are produced, with almost unlimited opportunities for growing cotton, hay and the cereals. While real estate values have increased on an average of one hundred per cent in the last five years, it is the general belief that San Diego's forward movement has only begun, and that there are more fortunes to be made in the future than in the past. MECHANICAL ORTHOPEDICS By GUSTAVE W. HAAS Mechanical Orthopaedics is a blending of the science of mechanics with the practice of orthopaedics. It is the treatment of a mechanical deformity by mechanical means. It is the only real and scientific advance made in orthopaedics since the days of Sayre and the plaster jacket. It is the only system that has a reason to give for every step in its treatment and that based upon me- chanical laws and not upon mere speculation. The originator of the method, Gustave W. Haas, has so perfected it that success is the rule in its application and it is recognized as a potent factor in the treatment of deformities. The Standard Blue Book of California 19 BANKING IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA By J. M. ELLIOTT, President First National Bank of Los Angeles While the organized banking business commenced in Los Angeles City about 1 868, still the merchants of the Pueblo were, in fact, bankers in a small way from the time of the American occupation in 1847. Los Angeles County, being known in these early days as a Cow County, was devoted largely to raising horses, cattle and sheep ; the wool crop bringing in twice a year a goodly supply of money, much of which lay in the safes of the merchants until distributed. During these years the wastefulness of the native Cali- fornia population in carrying out the habit of over generous hospitality, to which they had been accus- tomed, caused them to borrow for their present needs at rates of interest which often amounted to five per cent per month, and which proved, of course, disas- trous often to both borrower and lender. Dry years and consequent loss of cattle bore heavily at times, and this caused the foreclosure of many mortgages and the transfer to new owners of the original Spanish grants of lands in all the southern counties of Cali- fornia. The first banking house started in Los Angeles was partly the elaboration of the system then in vogue, of leaving money in the safes of the merchants, but it was a step in the right direction, and the rates for money decreased to two per cent per month. By 1876 there were four banks in Los Angeles, and the rates of money had fallen to 1 J/4 and 1 Yl per cent per month, when a series of fin- ancial troubles, originating in San Francisco, were accentuated here, which trouble, being followed by a very dry winter, caused a great depression, which was hardly relieved until 1 880, at which time the interest rates had fallen to about ten per cent per annum, and only three banks remained. In 1875 the first effort was made to introduce a savings element in one of the banks, and for a time eight per cent per annum was paid on such deposits; when, however, the rate obtainable on mortgage loans fell to 1 2 per cent per annum or less, this was discontinued, and it was not until May, 1 884 that a savings bank formed for that sole purpose was established. The general depression in business lasted till 1 88 1 , when there was a marked improvement, which was also in evidence in the banking business, which steadily increased in amount of capital and deposits, while the rate on loans decreased to eight, seven and finally six per cent per annum. During the boom years of 1886 and 1887 the banks of Los Angeles, and indeed all over Southern California, maintained with very few exceptions, a conservative attitude towards the real estate speculation, then so rife. At the time, they were severely criticised for not lending their in- fluence towards facilitating this movement, but when the reaction occurred, their good judgment was what saved the occasion from being almost disastrous to the community as a whole. In 1 888 the exchanges between the banks had in Los Angeles grown to about thirty million dollars per annum, and a Clearing House to facilitate these matters was organized. As no better barometer of business of a community can be devised than a record of the amount of the clearings by the banks, a statement taken every five years is herein given. 1888 $36,000,000 1903 288,000,000 1 893 45,000,000 1 908 481 ,000,000 1898 72,000,000 1911 908,000,000 Showing that the amount of business done at present is some twenty-five times as great as that of 1 888. Though Clearing Houses were organized originally only for the purpose of facilitat- 20 The Standard Blue Book of California ing the exchange of checks and the payments of the resulting balances between banks, experience has taught that they could be useful in many other ways and could, by instituting more careful methods of conducting business among its members, increase the stability of all banks within its influence, and generally, raise the plane on which the banking business is conducted. In order to do this, many Clearing Houses have employed men of high character and large business experience who examine from time to time all institutions which directly or indirectly have Clearing House facilities. Los Angeles City was one of the very first to make this improvement, and in 1 908 employed on a five- year contract a thoroughly competent man to take on these duties. This Examiner makes two reports when he has examined a bank, — one in extenso, which is for the directors of the institutions, the other generally very short, which is handed to the Clearing House Committee, and which calls at- tention to any delinquency, if such should exist. Should any institution show at this examination that its affairs are not safely conducted, steps are taken to call the attention of the directors of the bank to its shortcomings, and if they are not corrected, Clearing House facilities are denied them. Further than this, the Clearing House, while under no legal obligations to do so, has protected the depositors by paying them in full and at once in a case in which there was doubt at least as to the time in which the assets of the institution in mind could be realized on. During the trying days of 1907, the banks of Southern California cities were, in common with all the larger cities of the country, forced by con- ditions in the central reserve cities, to issue scrip for use in general business. This was necessitated only so long as the balances in New York, Chicago, etc., held as part of the reserves of the local banks, were made unavailable, and as this scrip was secured by I 33 per cent of the best selected commercial paper, backed up by the guarantee of all of the Los Angeles Clearing House banks, its safety was assured; and when at the end of a few weeks the conditions in the East improved, it was quickly retired by redemption in gold coin. The very small amount still outstanding is protected by a deposit of gold coin to its full value. While Los Angeles City has been increasing its banking facilities, the cities and villages of Southern California have not been idle. Wherever business has promised a return within a few years the field has been occupied. In many cases the so-called country banks are owned almost exclusively by the community which they serve, — the stockholders, depositors and borrowers being the same people. This ; s really as safe a business as can be conducted, and instances are known where banks of this character have been managed for years without making a loss of either principal or interest. In hanking probably as much as in any line of business, there should be special adaptability on the part of the officers, which should be coupled with some experience in the details and a good acquaintance with the neighborhood intended to be served. Where these matters have been carefully looked into, the success has been very general. In selecting a manager for a bank, the test question which covers more ground than anv other, is, — Do you intend to place the bank's interests above your own personal ones? If a favorable reply is not at once forthcoming, some other manager should be selected. In common with a very large proportion of the bankers in the United States, those of Southern California look forward with hope to the time when Congress will adopt some plan which will place the United States at least on a par with foreign countries in its financial system. Manv persons er- roneously think that because the bankers advocate this improvement, that it is something done for their especial benefit. As a matter of fact, the bill proposed bv the Monetary Commission, and now be- fore the country for discussion, is so drafted as to especially benefit those parts of the country which have so far suffered from a lack of banking facilities, and the merchant, the farmer, the laborer will, in fact, be more benefitted by the passage of this bill, and by this ability of our monetary system to grow up under its protection, than will the bankers themselves. While it is not thoucht that anv mone- tary legislation can cure the evils or absolutely prevent panics, which are brought about by the result of over-trading and over-speculation, still it is believed that these evils may be largely minimized by some careful and non-political legislation in Congress. Southern California is to be an Empire within an Empire. Let us hope, as we really believe that the banking business in stability, conservatism and liberality, will keep pace with the march of modern improvements.

WILSON, Secretary Los Angeles Realty Board Probably no other city in the world of a similar size has shown such a wonderful increase in real estate values as has been shown in Los Angeles in the past few years. And the story is not yet half told, because, with the continued and rapid increase of popula- tion, and by reason of the early completion of the Panama Canal; the completion of the great Owens River Aqueduct bringing water 247 miles from the high Sierras and across desert wastes to the doors of the city, and the active work already begun which will result in the early completion of a harbor at San Pedro that will accommodate the largest ships of the world, property in Los Angeles and vicinity is certain to show an even more wonderful increase in value within the next few years. Less than a decade ago, even the most enthusiastic Los Angeles boosters scarcely dared predict $5,000 per front foot for business property, yet this figure was passed only a year or two later, and since then business blocks on Spring Street and Broadway have changed hands at prices ranging from $7,500 to $8,000 per front foot, and it is even said that one prominent property owner on Broadway has refused to sell his property for $10,000 per front foot. And the beauty of it all is that these properties all return handsome percentages to the holders on the investment because of the great demand for office space and other business accommodations, and the ever-increasing population makes business properties more valuable each year. In no lesser degree has acreage property between the mountains and the sea and lying close to the city limits of Los Angeles increased in value. Only a few weeks ago the Wright Ranch of 840 acres, lying a mile south of Manchester and about a mile from the southern limits of the city, was sold for $1 100 per acre, or $924,000. Part of this ranch was taken up originally as Government lands and the balance was purchased for from $2 to $3 per acre. The Dryden Tract of 160 acres near Slauson and Vermont Avenues, and which was originally traded for a horse, has been sold for $2750 per acre. These are mere illustrations of the wonderful increase in values of suburban properties. With a population of 102,000 in 1900, Los Angeles showed a population of over 319,000 when the Government census of 1910 was completed. Since that time the city has recorded even more wonderful growth and in accordance with conservative estimates there are now 400,000 people within the city limits. With a population far in excess of 500,000, the County of Los Angeles is the largest county in the State and it is predicted that within the next few years the city of Los Angeles will exceed the city of San Francisco in population. Coincident with the growth of the City of Los Angeles has been the wonderful growth of the Los Angeles Realty Board. Only a short time ago the membership of this Board, which has always been to the forefront in matters pertaining to the upbuilding of the realty business, was only about 1 00. Recently the membership has increased steadily until now the Board consists of 450 and has the proud distinction of being the largest realty organization in the United States. The "Land Show Beautiful of America," which was held at Fiesta Park in March under the auspices of the Los Angeles Realty Board and which was visited by 247,000 people, was one of the most successful of its kind ever held in America. Thousands of homeseekers visited this Land Show and many of them, Iearing of the wonderful advantages of residence in Southern California, purchased homes or small farms. A wonderful impetus was given to business by this Land Show, the fame of which has spread throughout the United States. "Los Angeles 1920, population 1 ,000,000"is the popular slogan which has been adopted by the members of the real estate fraternity and there is scarcely a man in business in this city but who firmly believes that this dream of population will be realized when the great Government census is taken.

CANYON CASTLE Located in Laurel Canyon, near Hollywood the world; low communtation LOS ANGELES AND SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA THE MECCA FOR HOME BUILDERS By M. S. YEAGER Not only is Los Angeles one of the oldest cities in California, but shares freely and un- limitedly in the natural growth and resources of the country. Endowed with one of nature's greatest gifts, the richest of soil, within the bounds of the State and unlimited building space extending east, west and south from the foot-hills to the Pacific Coast, together with its superb semi-tropical climate, makes it peculiarly adaptable to a wide range of architectural possibilities. Over a hundred years ago Los Angeles was a village consisting of pnmative adobe houses, the homes of the Spanish founders of the present metropolis. Today Los Angeles ranks as a city of the first classification, abounding in the most beautiful homes and business houses to be found in any town of its size. Its residences differ in design from the solid piles of masonry setting forth reproduc- tions of foreign castle architecture to the captivating and ever-varying stlye of bungalow, Swiss chalet, etc., elaborated upon or modified to suit the ideas and fit the purse of each and every home builder. Beauty and style of architecture are distinctive features in the planning and construction of the modern California residence, and wonderful progress in the art of building is evinced by the leaders in this industry, which enables them to embody any desired feature of exterior design without detracting from the efficiency of, or in any way altering the general lines of a given floor plan. Another notable departure from the eastern forms of architecture is the vast improvement along the line of "built-in" devices. These latter embody almost every known convenience for the house holder. A few examples of the more modern type of residence now ornamenting some of the streets of Los Angeles may be found on page 24. 24 The Standard Blue Book of California Built and Designed by M. S. Y EAGER & CO. of Los Angeles, Cal. See ad page 23 The Standard Blue Book of California 25 THE PROFESSION OF ACCOUNTANCY By H. IVOR THOMAS, C.P.A. This profession, although the latest to receive recognition through legislation in recent times, is really of very ancient existence. In the dawn of history the scribes performed the duties of both law- yer and accountant and some authorities claim an earlier antiquity for the accountant's profession than for the lawyer's. In medieval times the recording of business transactions was attended to by the bookkeepers, and it is only of late years that the distinction between a bookkeeper and an accountant has been at all generally understood. This distinction may be described as follows: The accountant's functions are constructive and executive, while those of the bookkeeper are descriptive and mechanical, as may be made clear by the following simile: In the erection of a building, the planning and direction of the work is in the hands of an architect, whereas the detail work of placing the bricks and mortar in posi- tion is handled by the day laborer; the relative importance of the architect and the day laborer repre- sents a good example of the difference between an accountant and a bookkeeper, for the former is as far in advance of the bookkeeper in his knowledge of accounts as is the architect beyond the brick- layer in his line of business. In this day of specialists the accountancy profession from its very nature demands a more gen- eral experience in all lines of business than does any other calling or profession. Not only must the accountant be familiar with forms and methods of the details of business with the ability to devise sys- tems for a concise recording of salient facts at a minimum of trouble and expense, but he must as well be familiar with business methods in all lines of trading, he must have considerable knowledge of values and prices of merchandise of all descriptions and of machinery, of structure and real estate, he must be well acquainted with the laws governing business, whether handled by individuals, partner- ships or corporations, in order to properly equip him to serve his clients in the most important branch of the profession, namely, as a business and financial adviser. In the last few years laws have been enacted in a number of States recognizing the profession and requiring a course of study, a definite period of practical experience and the passing of an exam- ination prior to claiming the degree of Certified Public Accountant. This degree is an acknowledgement and recognition by the State authorities that the person holding the same is entitled and qualified to practice this profession, and is, moreover, a guarantee that the holder of the title is recognized by the courts as an expert of accounts. THE MINING INDUSTRY IN CALIFORNIA By R. W. HADDEN, M.E. In the brief space at our disposal, it is impossible to do more than call attention to the im- portance of California as a State containing and producing vast mineral wealth. The reader who is desirous of obtaining fuller and detailed information regarding the industry is referred to the various state papers covering the subject which may be obtained at the State Mining Bureau, Ferry Bldg., San Francisco, or at the Chamber of Mines, Germain Bldg., Los Angeles. California really owes its birth to the discovery of gold in '49, and while enormous fortunes were derived from the rich alluvial deposits in those early days by the crude hand methods of pan, sluice and rocker, the reworking of those fields by the modern gold dredger is producing vastly greater fortunes. These enormous dredgers have a capacity ranging up to several hundred thousand cubic yards per month and the expense of operation has been reduced to such a fine point that profits are derived from ground averaging as low as ten cents per cubic yard. To fully realize the extensive dredging operations now being prosecuted, one should visit the fields at Oroville. A few days so spent will well repay the trouble and expense. Lode mining has not received the attention which the deposits in California warrant and the field for investment of capital in this form of enterprise is magnificent. Many good mines which were worked by the crude methods of earlier times would now yield handsome returns by the appli- cation of modern scientific methods of mining and reduction, and this will be more fully realized at no distant date. 26 The Standard Blue Book of California The State has never been known as a producer of silver, the total for 24 years only ap- proximating some $20,000,000. Copper is becoming more and more important as an annual mineral product. Coal is not an important mineral, the total production so far being in the neighborhood of some 5,000,000 tons. There are various valuable deposits of iron ore which are more or less controlled by the Steel and Railroad interests. So far these have not been exploited, but on account of the vast expansion in building in California the day is not far distant when these deposits will be worked and smelting and structural iron industries established in the State. Few States, if any, contain such a diversity of mineral deposits. Structural material such as brick and pottery clays and cements are abundant. Gypsum, lime, borax, soda, potash exist in pay- ing quantities. Quicksilver to the value of some $27,000,000 has been produced. The very remarkable development which has taken place in recent years in the California oil fields has forced petroleum to take first place in value of mineral output. No one can foretell what the future will unfold, but geologically the area extends practically from north to south almost through the entire State and the annual yield increases by leaps and bounds from year to year. While the older fields in other sections of this and other countries are gradually declining, the attention of oil men not only of the United States but in Europe, is gradually focussing upon California. The demand for crude oil and its by-products is growing the world over and the decline of the older fields will place upon a firmer footing the oil industry of California. On account of its geographical location and accessibility to the active mining sections of the Western States and Mexico, Los Angeles is gradually forging to the front as headquarters for mining men and organizations.

Wood The Standard Blue Book of California 27 ARROWHEAD HOT SPRINGS SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA Arrowhead Springs, California It was our good fortune to recently visit and see for ourselves, through the courtesy of Mr. Seth Marshall, the principal owner, the marvelous Hot Springs of Arrowhead. By all odds, these are the hottest and most wonderful radio-active curative hot springs in the world. They are owned by the Arrowhead Hot Springs Company, Arrowhead, California, together with all of the numerous hot and cold springs, with about 2000 acres of land 2000 feet above sea level. It is just 68 miles from Los Angeles, on both rail and auto line, 30 minutes by electric line to the thriving city of San Bernardino. In the midst of this property is found the Arrowhead Hotel, representing an original cash outlay of some four hundred thousand dollars, a full page picture of which will be found elsewhere in this volume. The hotel is the realization of an architect's beautiful dream, has every modern convenience. The baths are heated from the hot water from the springs themselves. Its furnishings are luxurious and every form of rational amusement may be enjoyed. There are in connection with the hotel well-equipped stables where may be procured the burros or saddle horses for rides over the trails of the old mountains or through the orange groves that lay in the valley below. Just half mile from the hotel on the east side of Waterman canyon caves have been tunnelled into the bluff, from the floors of which rise the hot radio-active steam from water 200 degrees. These will soon be utilized for baths. Rooms will be built with covered corridors leading into the steam caves where wonderful natural steam baths will be administered. These caves are wonders which no visitor to Southern California should miss. Gilbert E. Bailey, Professor of Geology of the Uni- versity of Southern California, has made a thorough investigation and report which is instructive and interesting. From our observation, in a comparative way, Arrowhead is in a class all to itself. This property is controlled and under active management of Mr. Seth Marshall, President of the Company. It is a profitable investment as it is, being visited annually by many hundreds of people. It needs, however, the additional capital invested to market the waters, to build and equip a modern sanitarium, to utilize the wonderful curative powers nature has placed in her lap. With this addition within a very short time, these springs would be annually visited as a health and pleasure resort by no less than a quarter million people annually, and the property could easily be made to pay interest on a twenty million dollar investment. Mr. Marshall would welcome any substantial proposition from reliable sources looking to the future development of these natural resources. With new blood, new capital and new energy, combined with that of the present owners, the most sanguine and wildest dream of the optimist will be realized and Arrowhead will take its proper place as the world's most famous health and pleasure resort.

RIVERSIDE WELCOMES THE TOURIST, BECAUSE: It has over one hundred miles of macadamized and oiled automobile boulevards stretching be- tween rows of stately palms and peppers; the fame of its scenic Rubidoux Mountain drive leading to the Cross of Father Jupinero Serra is world-wide. Riverside's myriad of attractions invite the tourist; its certainty of large returns attract the investor; and its ideal conditions from every standpoint furnish the magnet which is drawing to it an ever-increasing army of discriminating homeseekers. 28 The Standard Blue Book of California THE BENCH AND BAR OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA By GENERAL JOHNSTONE JONES 1 he Bench and Bar of Southern California is one of the youngest in the Union, its first mem- bers were the men who practiced in the District Courts, that preceded the present system of Superior Courts, and who helped erect on Spanish and Mexican foundations the grand Commonwealth now known and admired by all peoples as the State of California. Nearly all of these have submitted the issues of their lives to the Supreme Tribunal and received the verdict. The legal fraternity now conducting the Courts and administering justice are strong in numbers, as in intellect, influence and power. Upon the Bench sit nearly two score judges. The practicing attorneys aggregate about fifteen hundred, about one thousand of whom are found in Los Angeles. This Bar is quite cosmopolitian, many countries and races being represented by lawyers of learning and skill, who are devoted to the Constitution and the laws of their adopted land. In the ranks of the juniors are found many native sons, a body of young disciples of Themis that give splen- did promise for the future, and here and there the Bar is adorned by the intellect, the grace and the charms of some talented and ambitious member of the gentler sex. From this Bar, by choice of the people and by appointment of the President, have gone many able, brilliant men to fill high and responsible offices in State and Nation, to the Governor's chair, the Supreme Court, the District Court of Appeal, the Federal Bench, the Senate of the United States, the House of Representatives, the office of Solicitor-General of the United States, and to many minor positions of honor, trust and profit. Judges of great ability have presided over these Courts, and the Bar has been illuminated by the splendid legal attainments, eloquence and power of great advocates, ranking with the foremost law- yers of the Union. This host of trained attorneys constitute a great, vital force for good in the com- munities of the Southland. 1 hey are in the main patriotic, public-spirited moral citizens, and are usually found in the front ranks of those who contend for the advancement of the public interest, the eradication of public evils and the uplift of mankind towards higher and better plains of good citizen- ship. They are conspicuous in Council Chambers and Legislative Halls, defenders of right, uphold- ers of law and order, and no profession or class of men is more devoted to the principles of the American Government or more loyal to its flag than these. It may also be said that it has, almost invanbly, been free from bribery or corruption, that the judges have, with few exceptions, been true to their high callings and faithful to the sacred obligations of their exalted stations, that they have worn the ermine unstained and in no instance betrayed the trust and confidence of the people who placed in their hands the flaming sword of the law. Here and there about the sacred precincts of our Halls of Justice may be traced the trail of the serpent: the foul tracks of the unprincipled attorney, the bribe-giver, the suborner of witnesses, the procurer of perjury, the embezzler of clients' money, who betray the interests of their clients, vio- late the principles of common honesty, and bring disgrace upon themselves and dishonor to their pro- fession. But few such renegades infest our courts and the time is coming when all such lepers will be eliminated and the Bar of Southern California will attain the highest standards of excellence, learn- ing, power, purity and usefulness. ASSOCIATION OF NATUROPATHIC PHYSICIANS OF CALIFORNIA By DR. GEORGE B. ABBOT, Secretary of Association of Naturopathic Physicians of California The Association of Naturopathic Physicians of California was created by charter from the State of California, August 8th, I 904, its members accorded legal right to practice their profession by enactment of Senate Bill No. 26, February 24th. 1909. Its purposes were a step in advance of regular methods of treating the sick, "fundamentally to seek, teach and embody truth, principally to study nature, mind and man, ultimately to enable the individual human being to bring within reach the highest possible attainments consistent with his inborn qualities, tendencies and desires; to interpret nature, to unfold humanity and to teach Naturopathy in its theoretical and practical modes of re- storing and maintaining health," and its aims to incorporate all the best parts from the various modes and place them under one uniform system.

Its founders believe in strictly ethical conduct, high requirements and educational standards for which purpose a charter for sanatorium and college were granted and permanent headquarters lo- cated in Los Angeles, Cal., incorporated October 30th, 1905. This Association have positively no affiliation with other so-called Naturopathic institutions.

THE AUTOMOBILE CLUB OF SOU! HERN CALIFORNIA By FRANCIS MARSHALL, Special Representative of the Club The Automobile Club of Southern California was organized in 1900 as a social club, and as it grew that branch of its work toward the Good Roads movement predominated more and moie, and in 1906 the preponderance of this phase of the Club's activities had become so great that the social feature was dropped, and the practical work of promoting Good Roads in all of its ramifica- tions was adopted as the sole function of the Club. In this way, better than any other, the work of bringing to the attention of the rest of the world the delightful climate, beautiful valleys, grand mountains and ocean, and otherwise developing the great resources of this most wonderful country of Southern California, could be carried on, and the Club proceeded in its work along these lines in all of its vigor and growing strength. The Club with its energy now concentrated upon the Good Roads movement and automobile legislation, inaugurated an active campaign in exploring, surveying, developing and promoting the roads of Southern California. As it grew in membership it ever expanded in this work in every direction, until now, when it is the second largest automobile club in the world in point of member- ship, and easily first in activity, its projects embrace such an ambitious one as the Ocean to Ocean Highway, upon which project it is devoting, together with a number of powerful affiliated bodies, its usual great energy and forceful direction. So great has become the influence of this Club, and so widely known the Good Roads work which it is doing, that visitors from other states hasten to join the movement by becoming members, out of gratitude for the comfort and safety afforded by the signs alone, which mark to a stranger, partic- ularly, the otherwise unusable highways. The time is not far distant when all motorists will display upon their cars as a badge of honor the emblem of the Automobile Club of Southern California, as an indication of unselfish citizenship and participation in the great work of developing the roads, and rendering them safe and pleasurable. 1 he Club has been brought up to its present strength and efficiency and its work is carried on un- der the able guidance of Secretary S. C. Geary and Assistant Secretary Standard L. Mitchell, and a Board of Dirctors composed of the following prominent and forceful business men of Southern California, who in a spirit of unselfish public spiritedness, serve the Club without compensation: Messrs. Fred L. Baker, President; W. L. Valentine, Vice-President; Percy H. Clark, Henry W. Keller. Charles Wier, A. C. Balch, E. G. Kuster, Horace Miller, Los Angeles; Fred \V.

PEELER Treasurer and Associate Editor, Standard Blue Book Publications Los Angeles has mure enterprising real estate men than any other city in the country. One who has probably done as much as any other single individual in building up the city is J. I [arvey McCarthy, who, as president of the Pioneer Investment and Trust Co., has more than twenty prosperous subdivision tracts to his credit. In Merced County he has recently founded a "City Beautiful," Planada. As president of the Planada Development Co., Mr. McCarthy has made a remarkable success in building this beauti- ful city, which he hopes to make a monument worthy of his name and posi- tion in the real estate world. Success has already crowned his efforts to die extent that PLANADA is now fasl becoming a city of commercial im- portance in Merced County, and in time will he ol the most progressive, as well as the most beautiful city in California.

That the musical race is only on account forma. Given the same number of delphia or Chicago to create a musi- will far outstrip any city, and South- globe. tion from mountain to sea, the great wonderful beauty and grandeur of rhythm of the sea, the blending of fruits from a harmonious background breathes music. Outdoor exercise of Phys foundc Music in Southern California in a limited number of years than Southern California is still behind in of the youthfulness of Southern Cali- years as Boston, New York, Phila- cal atmosphere, and Los Angeles ern California any country on the When you glance over this sec- keynote of the scene is harmony ; the the mountains, the sparkle and the color and perfume of the flowers and that not only suggests but almost the youth of this section brings health, keen eyes, clear hearing and sound lungs, tion for musical culture. It is only a quarter of a century ago when the visiting musicians were Blind Tom, Remenyija, the violinist, and the Swiss Bell Ringers. The concerts were given under the auspices of the Uni- tarian Church Sunday School in an old-fashioned church on the corner of Third and Hill Streets — a foundation for the great Philharmonic Course of the present, through which are presented each season a score of the greatest instrumentalists and vocalists of the present day. In fact, but four other cities in America equal or surpass Los Angeles in the number of musical visitors each season. Twenty-five years ago the Ellis Club was the only singing body of note in Southern Califor- nia; this club still gives its four concerts yearly, but in addition, the celebrated Orpheus Club takes part of the honors, the Lyric Club, the Musical Salon, the Los Angeles Center of the American Music Society, are all giving concerts, artistically and successfully. We have the Fidelia Mannechor, the Turnverein Germania among the German singers; we have the Gamut Club, representing the male musicians and the Allied Arts of the Southwest; the Dominant Club, composed of lady musicians organized similar to the Gamut Club; we have the great Philharmonic Courses and two symphony organizations, the Los Angeles Symphony, composed of men only, seventy-seven in number, under the direction of Harley Hamilton, and the Woman's Orchestra of sixty-five members, under the same director. There are at least thirty instrumental and vocal organizations scattered throughout the Man- ual Arts High School, the Los Angeles High School, the Polytechnic High School, and the inter- mediate schools of this city, all showing keen interest in musical affairs. All this interest in music has been created within a period of twenty-five years. Several seasons of grand opera has added much to the local spirit; next year the Chicago Grand Opera Company will be heard for one entire week. "La Boheme' 'received its premier presentation in Los Angeles, and Mme. Melba sang "Mimi" for the first time in this city. "Parsifal" was given with its original New York cast and over 250 people assisted. One of the great achievements of musical patronage occurred when the Bevani Grand Opera Company gave sixteen operas in four weeks and that at dollar prices, to a business reaching over $50,000. There are over 2200 music teachers in Los Angeles alone, and over 3600 registered in the seven southern counties. The clubs pay less for vocalists, instrumentalists, in this section, than anywhere else in the world, and a higher grade of artistry is demanded, but unfortunately, at a minimum price. Church music is a source of wonderment to the eastern visitor, when they notice its high grade, but they marvel equally at the small salaries paid the singers. There are many composers to be found in the Southwest and very frequently cash prizes of considerable amount found their way from Germany and France into our deserving composers' hands. Los Angeles is to be congratulated upon the high position held by her citizens when the musical situ- ation is discussed by those who know, in both Europe and America, of the high artistry required 36 The Standard Blue Book of California from the visiting recital artists, the appreciation shown in return for good work, and the increased patronage when such artists earn after the California patrons have learned of their ability. Plans are being formulated for a more extended symphony season, and an annual music festival similar to those given in the East. The Conservatories of Europe have a higher percentage of students from Southern California than any other point in this country. Musical comedy and comic opera have an equally large share of patronage, and the audiences are most discriminating. A splen- did musical future lies before the great Southwest — and musical history is being written daily. Editorial \ : ote. — No man has worked as hard to develop any particular line of industry as Mr. Behy- mer in his chosen field. Without Mr. Behymer there would be no Symphony Orchestra, no Philharmonic Course, ami many an aspiring studenl has become a thorough musician through the encouragement of this keen critic, who is always more interested in hi* local public and their success than in the talented visitor.

Within her borders may be found some branch of nearly every distinguished family of America. Her location and delightful climate bring the elite of society from every American city as well as scions of the nobility of foreign lands, for some portion of the year. Every pleasure and every sport is enjoyed, and no place is gayer than Southern California; it has often been called the visiting girl's paradise. Every day of the season is crowded with social functions, and the matron planning the dispensing of hospitality has learned that her invitations must be out early in order to insure a success. Receptions, teas, balls, luncheons and dinners fairly tread on each Other, each seeming to surpass the last in elegance anil splendor. In fact, it seems that always some excuse is sought to bring together the gay and happy throng which compose society of Los Angeles. San Diego and Southern California. Los Angeles, as well as her sister city to the south, San Diego, has her season of Grand Opera, where appear the great artists of the country, second in its magnificence only to New York. Also the best theatrical bills are presented at the various playhouses of these two cities. A glance over the boxes and the orchestra circle convince- on< that quite a long journey would have to be made before so many beautiful women could be found assembled in one place. No section can boast of more beautiful women than cm Southern California. The charming coterie of beautiful buds introduced this past season bid fair soon to follow the example of those who scarcely stood upon the threshold of society before joining the rank of matron-, some going into diplomatic circles of Washington, others to grace the courts abroad, while many remained in their own cities. Southern California is the section of beautiful homes. Here may Ik found copies of Old World castle-, surrounded by terraced lawns and sunken gardens, as well as the ever varying type of bungalow, from the simplest to the most elaborate. Ibi boulevards are second to none in the country. A short automobile drive takes one through beautiful orange groves, up mountain -ides, through canyons, and beside the waters of the peaceful Pacific. The scenic panorama i- iinsi. i passed by Old World wonders. Because of the wonderful evenness of her climate, athletic sports are in order. Southern California abounds in golf link-, claiming as devotees many of society's fair members. In fact, the Los Angeles Women'- Golf Team are the holder- of the Craft Higgins Trophy. Tennis is also a sport attracting many ladies, who have proven themselves cham- pion player-. Southern California may well be termed the Polo Capital of the United States. This past season has witnessed some five tournaments, at Coronado. Pasadena. Riverside, San Bernardino, and Redlands, in which twelve team- competed, representing three nations. England, United Slate- and Canada. The turf covering the polo fields is excellent and is said to be better than the famous turf of India, which heretofore has taken first rank over the world. In all probability the next matches to decide the world championship, now held by the Conch- Debar Family of India, will be played at Cot onado. On account of the game abounding in California, the Hunt Clubs have splendid followings. Within one hour's ride of Los Angeles the best game of the State is to be found. Southern California boasts 100 duck clubs, and the whole world know- that she is the fisherman's paradise. There are mountain torrent- abounding in silvery trout, while at Cor- onado and Catalina. mammoth fish are taken from the rod and reel. Tuna fishing recently gave first place to sword fishing in popularity, the latter perhaps being more attractive because of the element of danger connected with it. l.os Angeles has a magnificent Country Club, owning 155 acres of valuable land. The club house itself was built and equipped at a cost of $225,000. One of the special features of the club is the garage and chauffeur's and servant's quarters. Each of the surrounding towns maintain a Country Club. San Diego also boast- a Yachting Club unsurpassed by any in the country, and its membership embraces some of the best known men of the Untied States. 'Hie social center of San Diego is the historic I". S. Grant Hotel, where at any and all times may be found the elite of San Diego, and no fairer scene can greet the eye than one of the famous balls given at the Grant. The Literary Clubs are among the best, their members taking part in all movements for the advancement of wo- men, ami hoi. ling offices in the State ami National Organizations. Their programs which are of the highest order, stimu- late- literary work of the best nature. In their club life, Los Angeles and San Diego women are workers and accomplish much. The City Federation and Civic Club- have done more within the past few years than those of any city of the Southwest. The Parent Teacher Association, which is a branch of the California Congress of Mothers, are doing everything in their power to bring about a closer relationship between teacher and pupil, and are doing much to bring into their rc- Spective cities attractions which will be of benefit to the mind- of the- young. The Daughters of the American Revolution and the Daughters of the Confederacy have large, growing and enthu- -l.i-i ic followings, and these two patriotic societies are closely allied with the state organizations for the encouragement of patriotism. There are the usual number of card clubs, bridge whist perhaps being the most popular. Some of the best musical clubs of the country may be found in Southern California, among which are the Gamut, Lyric. Harmonia. etc.. of Los Angeles, and the Amphion of San Diego. The California and Johnathan Clubs eif Los Angeles are- the most exclusive Men's Clubs, followed by the Bachelors Club and several lesser ones, and the usual number of I'niver-ity Clubs. The Cuyumaca and University Club of San Di- ego, perhaps, take first rank among the Men's Clubs of that city. In the Literary Club- of Los Angeles, the Ebell, Friday Morning and Wednesday Morning Clubs rank first, with the Wednesday Club of San Diego undoubtedly in the lead for that city. Southern California women recently made a hard fight for suffrage, and came off victorious, proving by the capable manner in which they have handled local and state affairs since that time- that no mistake can he made by placing mat- ter- of grave importance in the fair hand- of such women as those of this section. Following will be found a brief -ketch of a few of the- clubs with the work which they have accomplished. Had space permitted, we should have liked to have- given sufficient space to each club of these two cities, telling of the splen- did work which they are doing in the forward march.

Boyce in October, 18S8, for the purpose of systematic study upon subjects of Art and Artists. However, its scope is broad enough to include investigation, research and studious consideration of such other subjects as may be. determined upon. It began with the study of Ruskin's Works, and it has followed with those of equally eminent authors, and this year it has taken up the study of Netherlands, her Art, History and Litera- ture. Through systematic study this club has developed a love for art history, architecture, and literature ol the world. The first exhibit of pictures in Los Angeles was under the auspices of the Ruskin Art Club. The membership now is 100. The English Study Club of Los Angeles Mrs. Dwight Rittenhouse Brown, Pres.

The English Study Club is one of the truly literary clubs of Los Angeles. Eligibility to membership demands that the applicant be a student of English in at least one of its many branches. Several lecture courses are arranged for each session. Classes in Correct English, in Composition and Rhetoric, in Story Writing, in Conversation and in Expression are conducted at the Club Rooms. The purpose of the organization as stated by its constitution is to supplement early education, to cultivate the power to appreciate the best in literature, to develop talent for expressing thought in conversation and in writing, and to rest the weary mind by turning it away from self and from the every-day routine. More than 200 eager women of literary taste and talent are studying in the classes of this club. The Wednesday Club of San Diego Mrs. Robt. Darling, Pres. Mrs. Iver N. Lawson. First Vice-Pres.

The Wednesday Club's objective point is artistic and literary culture, and it has made great strides in this di- rection, as may be seen by the following subjects which have been studied during the past year by this club: "A Long Night and its Awakening," "Celtic Romance," "Rhineland Myths and Norseland Saga," "Cycle of the Crusades," "Medieval Drama," "Arthurian Romance," "Old English Ballads," "The Troubadors," "Medieval Churches," "Castles and Cathtedrals," "The Italian Renaissance," "Sonnet and Story," "The City of the Middle Ages."

The Institute of Mechanical Orthopaedics was organized to exemplify the Haas' Method of the treatment of deformities. This method represents all that is latest and best in ortho- paedics and being based upon scientific and mechanical facts, has the added merit of being sane, practical and eminently successful. The Institute has at all times specialized upon its work for the children and our rich- est reward has been to see hundreds of little ones suffering from the mental and physical torture of spinal deformity restored to health with straightened bodies and normal minds.
