the AHRALD has repeatedly an
nsancsd, the Southern Pacific
is prepared to cooperate with the
government of the United States
Ia the development of Will
mington harbor, to the extent,
II necessary, of spending a millisn
dollars on the work. No such SUM
will be needed to guarantee a
splendid port at that place, great
advances having already been
made. Anyone who chooses to
glance at map Of the United
States will see at once that Will
nington, by any scheme of rail-
way SO far projected, is a COED deal
nearer New Orleans than any port
81 the Pacific side of the continent.
With the Southern Pacific Railway
warmly interested in making the
mest of Wilmington, that harbor
is certain to play leading part in
the future transcontinental and in.
tsrsontinental trade of the werld.
As respects the people of Los An
gsles county, they should use every
short to stimulate the government
Of the United States to put the cap
sheaf on their great work. With
the Southern Pacific putting in its
hsartiest "lieks" in tho same di.
rectioB, Wilmington will at last
realize the anticipations of the En-
ginesrs of the Unlted States army
upon whose recon- mendation that
colossal scheme of improvement
was originally entered upon. and
whose judgment has been confirmed
by the steady and gradual develop
ment of q serviceable harbor which
will be brought up to the standard
Of Charleston before two ysars
