The HERALD yesterday made the
statement that the Pacific left San
Francisco with very light passenger
list, only two persons being booked for
San Pedro. The other morning paper
of this city gives a list Of about thirty
passengers for this port. 1t may be
we'll to add that this astonishing result
was arrived at by crediting the entire
list to San Pedro, whereas all but two
were booked for other ports. This may
be upholding the interests of Los An
geles, but we prefer the good old policy
of honesty and truth, believing that
our city and county, with its unparal-
leled attractions, does not need any
owerdrawn statements, and that in the
long run such eXaggerations do more
harm than good.
