A Bold Voyage

Two natives of Denmark, Peter
Muller and Nils Peterson, sailors, started
to-day on bold and dangerous voyage.
They intend TO travel from Kodiak
island to San Francisco in a "bidarka"
or skin canoe, following the coast in
all its indentations. The distance to
be travelled is considerably over two
and probably nearer three thousand
miles, over every foot of which these
cnterprising men propose to propol
their craft with their doubled bladed
Aleutian paddle. Their craft is a
doublc-cndcr, nineteen feet six inches
long, and two feet four inches beam
amidships. 1t consists OF slight franc
Of open wickGr-work, covered with sea-
lions skins, with the exception of two
oval matches on what we may call the
deck. The canoe can be easily carried
by the two men, and as the depth of
the craft is not over fifteen inches the
baggage and provision must naturally
be reduced TO its minimum in weight
and bulk, consisting of small tent.
blankets, frying-pan and tea-kottle, a
rifle and shotgun, so-called native
pump for freeing the canoe OF water
by suction with the mouth, some ten
sugar, and flour, fsh-lines, etc. The
enterprise is exceedingly bold in its
conception, involving an amount of
physical labor, hardships, and dangers
appalling to most men. But these men
are possessed of unusual energy and
strength.
At the beginning of the present cen.
fury large fleets of similar canoes in
pursuit of sea-otters accomplished near.
ly the Same journey now proposed
by the two Danes, but then they were
accompanied by Russian ovcrsocrs in
able sailing vessels to which the canoes
could rally in case of danger, and the
progress occupied more than one sea.

Actresses Names

The practice OF actresses retaining
their maiden names for theater uses
after they are married has often been
criticised. not only because it is mis-.
leading, but also because some think it
has an immoral tendency. Many young
men fall in love with some divinity Of
the stage, only to have their affection
dampened by the after-knowledge that
the charmer is wife, oftentimcs q
mother, and straightway feel that they
have been imposed upon. There are
two reasons for the retention of the
Miss" The public finds youth and
the single condition more fascinating
than the married state, and actresses
know it, and the husbands of actresses
generally insist upon the use of some
other name than their own. Most
actresses would prefer the prefix "Mrs. D
and the use of their own names, but on
the one hand managers object that that
would destroy one element of attractive.
ness, and on the other hand some hus.
bands dislike having it known that they

Their attention has until lately been
confined to Southern Arizona. A re.
spensible body Of men, constituting the
Colorado Copper Mountain Mining Com.
paHy, are now making preparations for
the working OF their very valuable
property near the Needles, and with
In easy reach of the Colorado river. We
are glad to learn that the prospects of

to work these mines is excellent. From
all testimony accessible to us the proper.
ties Of this company are very rich in
copper, with the indications, in the opin.

development Of bonanza at an early
date. The Directors have adopted q
very conservative plan, and are disposed
to admit the public to a participation in
the benefits OF the development Of their
property on the ground floor principle,
the stock set apart for working capital
being attainable at very low figure,
with a fair chance OF veritable boom

Mr.. A. $. Hallidie, the President Of

fornia, is now visiting our city with q
view Of inquiring into the present status
Of our local industries and organizing
branch Of his society. The objects of
the latter are defined to be "the foster
ing, encouraging, developing end pro-
tecting Of the homo industries and the
manufacturing interests Of the State Of
California and especially Of the men,
bers Of this society" The presence Of
this public spirited gentleman in our
midst gives us an opportunity of noting
the tremendous advances which have
been made In the manufacturing in.
dustries Of San Francisco, and largely
through the inspiration Of men like Mr..
Hsllldie. Twelve years ago, when the
writer landed at the Golden Gate. there
were scarcely any manufactures des-
erving Of the name in San Francisco.
Now nearly every branch Of human
industry isrsprssented there, and some Of
thUm have attained colossal proportions.
II is high time that Los Angeles should
develop spirit Of emulation in this
psrticular. While II Is true that we
also have made wonderful advances in
many lines Of manufactures, even, we
are Is yet in our infancy. There ought
to be In this city to-day half dozen

able TO buy, off-hand, engines ranging
from ten to sixty horse power. As it is,

are brought from abroad, and we thus

new departure, in which Angelehos will

TAe Celenial Tsndency-Trnver

Fora few years or no past it has been
quite apparent that land would bo land
In California, the incoming tide OF popu-
laton having exceeded all precedent.
Commendable enterprise has been shown
all over the State in preparing for the
work of development. In the adjoining
county Of San Bernardino large tracts of
land have been divided up and sold with
water rights which have been created ut
great expense, and colonies which
promise, In time, to rival those Of Pasa-
dsna and Riverside, have grown mp
there. In the neighborhood of Fresno
wonderful results have been achieved in
the cultivation Of the grape and other
fruits. The Seventy.Six Land & Water
Company, which has constructed an
enormous ditch one hundred feet wide
on the bottom, and which can carry the
whole volume Of Kings river, is the lat
sst organization of land operators to
challenge the attention Of the public.
The company have provided facilities
for the irrigation Of thirty thousand
acres Of land, situated mostly in Fresno
and Tularo counties. They have already

in q much lesser degree of this spirit OF
enterprise and development for the
reason that they have already had their

that of the Seventy.six Company, will

and TraSer, the centers of fertile lands
which have been made productive by
the artificial application of water, will
spring up in this vast stretch of territory.
Los Angeles. of course, will be the
specially favored seat of much of this
new population and development, and
our people can afford to look on with
complacency at growth which will
doubtless be without precedent in the
colonial history of California save in the
instances of Anaheim, Pasadena, Orange
