NUdENT, in referring to the Bay
of San Diego, IN his paper in the
Argondut, eharacterizes it as "a
toy harbor.u This is o mistake.
1t Is not easy to imagine more
beautiful or serviceable harbor
than that of San Diego. 1t is al
most POLITICALLY perfect. Had it
been SO arranged that the superb
farming country which surrounds
Los Angeles had been aligned by a
Bay so sterling and serviceable as
that of San Diego, taken in con-
nection with that configuration of
country which points to the fertile
plains Of Los Angeles county as
the objective point of ali railways
below the belt, we should
consider that nature had done every
thing towards making a great me-
tropolis in this Southern country.
While we think the geographical
and agricultural argument is
against San Diego aud in favor of
Los Angeles, we regard her Bay as
one OF the few against which ab-
soluiely no fault can be found.

a BrenA water as Santa Monica.

n BrenkW NJ bRutH monc"s
We are in receipt of letter from
o gentleman now resident at Santa
Monica, who has given the subject
of breawkater at that place a
great deal of attention. He re.
CARDS Los Angeles as the present
and prospective commercial point
OF Southern California and for
those portions of Arizona which
would naturally depend for an out
let and entrepot on some point OF
the Southern Coast. He sees with
indispensable surprise that our peo-
pie take no interest whatever in a
project which is really demand OF
commerce and one of the leading
elements in our prosperity. He
thinks that a grand petition should
BE- gotten up here, which should be
signed by our leading citizens and
by the people of Santa Monica and
forwarded to Washington.
There is no obstacle to making
Santa Monica one Of the great
harbors of the world and Los An
geles great city.
We have heretofore stated the
reasons which make it perfectly
feasible to convert the at present
tranquil and sheltered bay Of Santa
Monica into great harbor. With
q breakwater there on a proper
scale, INVOLVING an outlay OF say
three or four million dollars, YES
sells of every description could
anchor ia the port thus created, and
there would be ample room for the
navies of the world to ride in 1t.
No reasonable limit could, in the
near future, be placed to our re-
suItant commerce. These views
are shared by many officers Of the
United States Engineer corps, OF
the Coast Survey and Of the Navy.
Quite a number of them have
given the matter detailed atten-
ton. The project has struck Lieut..
Commander Taylor so forcibly as
to lead him to make an elaborate
estimate of the probable expense.
He and the other gentlemen have
no earthly interest in the matter,
pecuniary or other, and they
have only been led to suggest the
feasibility and desirability of the
breakwater by the specially ia.
vorable conformation of land and
ocean bottom at Santa Monica and
other notable geographical and
commercial strong poiuts of the
location.
The argument that California,
with coast about seven hundred
miles long, has but two Natural
harbors, and should have more, is
an irresistible one. The govern
ment in providing for an artificial
harbor at that point would not
only be subscribing the uses of COM
merce. but would also be protecting
the national dignity. Some time
or other We shall be at war with
some powerful nation, and we
shall then require harbors not only
for the convenience of our fleets
but for the protection of our mer-
chant marine. 1t was considera-
ton of this character which led
the French government to con-
struct the artificial harbor of Cher
bourg at an outlay of upwards OF
sixty millions of dollars. One fif-
tenth part of that expenditure
will give the United States, at
Santa Monica, a harbor many times
as serviccable as TINT of Cher
bourg.
Can we get the necessary appro-
priations from Congress, If we try?
We believe we can. Santa Monica
is able to command powerful influ-
ences at Washington if the people
Of Los Angeles shall take the initi-
alive 10 determined manner.
