INDUSTRIAL GROWTH OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNI California is a land of magnificent distances. Within the borders of the Golden State are embraced 158,-233 square miles, or about one twenty-third of the whole area of the United States. The northern boundary of California is in about the same latitude as Boston, Mass., while the southern is in the latitude of Savannah, Ga. The state of California has some 800 miles of sea coast, equal in extent to the Atlantic coast from Massachusetts to Georgia. California is an empire in itself and contains within its boundaries more and varied sources of wealth than any similar territory in this or any other country—resources so varied and extensive that, when fully developed, they will be able to support a population of 50,000,000 of people. That the vast agricultural, horticultural and mineral resources of this great state will continue to attract capital and home-seekers from all lands, and that California will continue to advance with mighty strides there is not the least shadow of a doubt. The whole Pacific Coast is enjoying an era of prosperity never before witnessed in its history. From British Columbia to Mexico every coast city is undergoing a marvelous growth. A glance at the progress of some of the principal coast cities during the past few years will convince the most skeptical that the Pacific Coast is advancing at a rapid eggs, the hay and grain crop timing up at least $1,500,000 more. One hundred miles eastward the crow flies, from San Diego the most unique agriculture in the world. Here a vast area five years ago devoid of everything, save venomous reptiles, day the happy home of more 10,000 people who enjoy all the vienences of good schools, church railways, electric lines and phones, and who at this writing harvesting fifty bushels of wheat sixty bushels of barley to the on land that for centuries had considered valueless. Here may be cut three to six times producing fifteen tons to the cattle, hogs and sheep attened upon alfalfa, kaffir cornhum, millet and other forage. Eighteen hundred acres of loupes are now being marketed one of the thriving towns of the nation. Some 100,000 acres of land now under cultivation and the despised Colorado desert has been the thrifty Imperial valley. This changed condition of has been accomplished by unclever waters of the Colorado irrigation. So successful has the Imperial enterprise that theeral government is now engaging the mighty task of harnessing waters of this river, and will a million dollars on the Laguna twelve miles above Yuma. The mense work will be complete. The whole Pacific Coast is enjoying an era of prosperity never before witnessed in its history. From British Columbia to Mexico every coast city is undergoing a marvelous growth. A glance at the progress of some of the principal coast cities during the past few years will convince the most skeptical that the Pacific Coast is advancing at a rapid rate. The census of 1900 gave Seattle a population of 80,000. Its estimated population at the present time is 160,000. In 1900 the population of Portland, Oregon, was 90,000, but it is now not less than 150,000. San Francisco in 1900 had a population of 343,000. In 1906 its population is estimated at half a million—said estimate having been made before the recent earthquake. In 1900 the population of Los Angeles was 132,000; the school census of 1906 gave Los Angeles a population of 231,000. The census of 1900 gave San Diego 17,500 while its estimated population in 1906 is 35,000. The growth of the two principal cities of Southern California is, perhaps, best illustrated by the great activity in the building line. Los Angeles is undergoing the most remarkable growth of any city in the United States; her building permits last year represented over $14,000,000, and since the first of January, they have exceeded those for the same period last year by at least twenty-five per cent. The above figures are shown to illustrate the rapid growth of some of the larger cities of the Pacific Coast. This rapid advancement, however, is by no means confined to the larger cities, for nearly every town on the coast has doubled its population within the past decade. Especially is this true of Southern Califordia. While the citrus fruit is the most important crop, many other profitable crops are grown. The little While the citrus fruit is the most important crop, many other profitable crops are grown. The little county of Ventura shipped last year 650,000 sacks or 1300 carloads, of lima beans, which netted the growers $1,700,000. From Orange county were shipped $500,000 worth of English walnuts and 2000 carloads of celery. The hay and grain crops of Riverside county were worth more than $1,000,000, not to mention $3,000,000 net received from Riverside oranges, while Redlands, in San Bernardino county, was a close second to Riverside. Santa Barbara county won three gold and one silver medal at the Portland exposition on her olive oil, grains and lemons. The county of Los Angeles contains 3680 square miles, and notwithstanding the large amount of acreage which has been cut up into town lots, has many thousand acres under cultivation. The orange crop last year was worth some $5,000,000, lemons $3,000,000, walnuts $600,000, apricots $250,000, her wines and brandies amounting to another $500,000, and her dairy products to over $2,000,000, while the humble hen added to the wealth of Los Angeles county another $500,000.
