Land values and world power in American progress talk
The piece argues land investment risks and bargains across cities like Los Angeles with Mrs. C. McLeod paying $35,000 for the Bender lot. It contrasts the 19th century price of 37.5 cents an acre with modern values, warns buyers to study options, and then shifts to commentary on American progress, the directorate of Solon and Croesus, and remarks on global power, science, and astronomy. It cites W. R. Hearst planning an observatory atop Mount Wilson and Dr. W. S. Adams on cosmic scales, ending with a reflection on the limits of human knowledge and a beetle’s view of trains.
