cial and financial systems of our
friends, is torn from its orbit and new
luminary planted in its place. The
present indications are that JAY
GOULD will soon shine where the
light of Tom SCoTT went out, with
Senator JONES as chief comet and sec-
ond magnitude luminary. There is
method in this awakening at San Di-
ego. The people of that county have
followed will o. the wisp until the
race has become monotonous and they
are now resolved to represent to the
Union Pacific managers the advantage
es of extending their road from Ogden
to San Diego Bay. To this end they
have appointed an able committee to
confer with GOULD and JONES, and by
thorough setting forth of the facts
encourage speedy constructio II Of
the comparatively short piece of road
necessary to connect the Union Paci.
fic with tide water in Southern Cali
fornia. 1t is not probable that either
the San Diego committee or that ap-
pointed by Los Angeles for a similar
purpose will be able to lay any new
facts before the owners of the Union
Pacific nor. do we apprehend that
these committees will hasten the COM
pletion of q work that is a matter of
vital Importance to that road. The
HERALD has heretofore shown that
the building Of the Southern Pacific
will render the Union Pacific compar-
atively worthless and that i'm order to
maintain the value of their property
the owners of the last named road
must extend their track to the Pacific
ocean. The only practical route for
this extension is across Utah and
through CajOn Pass. The men whose
money will build this extension so
thoroughly understand the situation
and so thoroughly recognize the nee
essity for prompt action that 1T is
hardly probable anything our commit
tees may be able to say or do will vary
the line of route or hasten their opera
tions. Still no harm can result from
conference provided the two commit
tees act harmoniously and keep it al
ways in mind that we are one commu-
nifty and that whatever will advance
the interests of Los Angeles must be
source of prosperity to San Diego.

Santa Monica Bay.
From the outlook OF the 22d.


We have picked up few facts con-
cerning Santa Monica Bay that may
be of some interest to our readers
The distance from Point Duma to
Point Vincent is thirty miles, and the
depth of the bay is ten miles; that is,
from straight line between the two
points to the shore terminus of the
wharf. Allowing for the curvature of
the land side, the bay has an area of
about $50 miles. There are no OBJ
structions, and the water gradually
deepens to fifty fathoms at the outer
edge. The land-brea against the
winds, which is elevated, extends from
point north northwest to point
south.south-east. Santa Catalina Is
land, distant twenty-eight miles, is
due south, and Santa Barbara Island,
distant about thirty-five miles, is a
little north of west. 1t will be seen
by this that our only exposure is to
the southwest. An old Captain,
who has been sailing up and down this
southern coast for the past twenty
years, tells us that the SOU westers are
less frequent than any other winds,
and they never last over six hours.
The waters of the bay have been re-
markably quiet, and there has never
been time since the construction of
the wharf when q vessel could not
land. Panama and San Francisco
steamers, and n large number of sail
ing vessels have made frequent land
ings, yet there has never been an acci-
dent. The wharf is q substantial
structure, 1740 feet long, and termi-
mates in twenty .four-foot water at low
tide. tits the intention of the Com
pany to add two hundred feet, which
will reach a depth of water sufficient
to make assurance doubly sure" that
the largest deep-sea vessels afloat can
land with perfect safety.
Thus it will be seen that while San
ia Monica Bay is not perfect harbor
it is a most excellent landing-pro-
nounced the best by sea-Captains, on
the southern coast. Besides it is the
most accessible point to Los Angeles
valley, which is, par excellence, the
most attractive region of Southern
California. All the practicable ap-
proaches for overland railroads open
into this valley, which contains about
1900 square miles of tillable land; the
vast mineral regions lie back of it,
and view the question as we may, the
great interests of this southern coun-
try center around Los Angeles valley,
whose outlet is at Santa Monica.

A Change Of Sentiment.

The people of San Diego are begis-
ming to weary of their idol, and the
mention of the name "ToM SCOTT no
longer lifts the hats of those who
dwell around "the only harbor be-
tween Acapulco and San Francisco"
The Texas Pacific Railroad, that man
in the moon that our neighbors have
so long cried for, has faded away and
the keenest eyed San Diegans are
prone to notions that he looks more

that the image of Tom SCOTT is no lon

Diego people and we shall not be sur

THE Southern Pacific Railroad Com
pany ought to feel grateful. The Er-
press Of this city comedies that their
roads have done something in the way
of advancing the prosperity of Los An
geles valley. We clip the following
sentence from an article in its issue of
last event ng. "It is only fair to say
that the splendid impetus toward city
status which may at present be OBJ
served here was co-incident to its adj
vent with the Southern Pacific Rail-
way" This is equivocal and little
tinctured with the water-on both
shoulders logic, but it is after all rath-
er good for the Express. We are not
sure but that block or two in Cotton
would make our cotemporary see ma
ny virtues in the Southern Pacific that
have heretofore escaped its obser va
ton.
