SOME THINGS THAT ARE NEEDED, Immigration Not One of Them—A Poor Place for Dudes—Dearth of Manufactories — Cost of Living. After the Boom, Los ANGELES, Cal., Dec. -[Special Lorrespondence of Tie Bek.|---My wife and children and myself have just re- turned from an hour’s rambling among the trees and flowers. The sun is shin- ing bright, and the atmosphere is churming, The recent rains have transformed the brown and dusty com- mons into the greenest of fields, All nature is awake with new life, and Cal- iforniais lovely. It never looks better than at the present season except in March and April, when the deciduous fruit trees ave in blossom, and their beautiful colors mingle with the green of the field and the green of the orange Kroves. This climate anda this country are all that any reasonable man has ever claimed, Lompared with the extremes of heat and cold in Nebraska, this is a paradise, as enjoyable in midsummer as in midwinter, The fertility of the g0il is 80 wonderful that if I were to re- oite the facts my old friends would question my veracity, I love Omaha, aud can never break the ties that bind me and mine to her and the statp of which she is the metropolis, but the comforts of life in this semi-tropic re- glon are more than enough to makeup for the loss of pleasaut associations thore, Now, the reader need not couclude that I am writing this letter as a boom article on southern California, Bless your dearsoul, there is so little of this manufacturing. country—the only spot on God’s green | m tionate rates earth, in the semitropics, where the Anglo-Saxon race has a foot-hold—that it will be taken too soon. The invita- tion is broad enough to include all who want to come, but it matters very little whether you come or not. Others will be here,and it is only @ question of time when every acre of this entire section will be occupied or utilized. T have written this letter to tell many persons who want to come hither, to stav away. There is no room for them, and no present occupation to give them a livelihood. A man with- out means on which to subsist at least a year should remain east of the mountains. The merchant, lawyer, physician, clergyman and me- chanic who is now doing well should stay where he is. It is no time for mi- gration. This country is just now ex- ,mricncing a touch of what she never pefore felt, namely, hard times. population has increased so r the consumers have outstrippe producers in number, and the real es- tate foolishness has abated itself, until now we are buying a great deal more than we sell,ana are not making it up by inyestments of eastern pzople. The draft on our circulation to supply the continual outward drain is making it- self felt, and money is becoming very scarce. In these conditions the busi- ness men, professional men and me- chanics, who consume and do not pro- duce, are neither uneeded nor welcome, If aman in any occupation can afford to wait a yeamr to build up a business, he may feel certain of success, and now is his opportunity. We are just beginning to get acquainted with each other here. (The relations which booming communities never en- courage, but which are the back-bone of a solid prosperity, are now being es- tablished. Therefore the men who are now here or who come soon will be able to drop into their appropriate places in the social hody and participate, in the general pl'ospfirilf which must dome to the country, All others had better kevaJ) way. are buying poultry, eggs, butter, apples, cheese, beef and other neces- saries east of the mountains, These we should grow here.

The mountains are full of ores of one kind and another, and recently good bodies of coal have been foun Petroleum is-plentiful in several locali, ties, and some company with a little capital can pipe it forty to one hundred miles and make a fortune supplying this city. The reason why capital has not hith- erto directed its attention to these sen- sible sources from which to derive profit is becauso popular fortunes could be quickly amassed in real estate specula- tions. Now the conditions are changed and the wealth of hundreds of capital- ists seeking homes in this lovely and fortile region must turn intoother chan- nels. We are now between a fictitious boom and a permanent prosperity. Having just passed through u similav experionce in Omaha, your readors can form some conception of the situation here.1 may add in closing that the prospects are just as bright for the uture of Los Angeles to-day as they were in Omaha one year ago. We are fast getting through ‘‘the sweat” and will adapt ourselves to the new order of things, In other words we will de- velope our material resources, build our manufactories, utilize our fuel and min- eral supplies, cultivate our lands, cure our fruits and do business generally on business principles, The man who can- not accept this situation and make the best of it will not like southern Califor- nia. The climate. the beautiful vegeta- tion, the lovely homes, the ever bloom- ing roses, the fragrunce of the orange blossoms and the délightful sea breeze will not satisfy him and he will go back tohis eastern home to declaim against California.

He scratched his head, and re- plied at a hazard: “'In As, **Ah, ha, is that so?” lied hisaunt, “An tell me, Mickey, is that anywhare near Irelanc Naw,” replied the boy bridling with a consciousness of the largeness of his information. *‘It's right forninst Afri- cay. whare th’ black nagure’s ate ye.

M Finn, however, soothed her rufiled mind by handing he Finn’s cutty wipe, loaded to overflow- ing with “Hod-carriers’ Delight.” As she puffed away she became calmer, and alluded to the untimely fate of the unfortunate babieg in the following feeling mannc “Ah, well thin An’ fathers God is good.

He turned over the leaves vapidly in his haste to ostablish his reputation for truthfulness, and at last in teiumph displayed a_picture repro- senting the woman of Hindostan offer- ing up their children to th ocodiles in the river Ganges. Doth the women examined the picture minutely, and ut- tered exclamations of surprise. Sus- tained and soothed by the these ovi* dences of unquestioning belief, Mic related how the “*alleygaters’ were caps turcd ! *Ye see that alleygater wid his mouth open?
