IL reports from the South are true, New
England capital is moving into Texas and
Alabama with great rapidity. A despatch
to a Boston paper. for instance, relates that
party Of Boston and other capitalists who
went In a special train to Denison. Texas,
where they invested over $l.co0,CcO in two
days, reached Fort Payne. Ala, the other
day." The work Of investing the million
dollars in two days does not seem to have
fatigued these capitalists In the least; they
at once began to admire Fort Payne and its
resources, and the despatch further chroni-
Giles that there was very spirited buying of
land, and several thousand dollars were SUBJ
scribed to start rolling mill" To the wea-
ry and hungry, but hopeful South, it must
seem that the hallelujah days are come when
New England capitalists troll into town in
palace cars and put down their millions at
the rate of five hundred thousand dollars
day. But the South must not lose its head
because a boom is In sight Booms come
and go; but 1t is the substantial progress
steadily made that is perpetual advantage
This progress the South is surely making by
its own efforts and by judicious application
of Northern capital; but Southern men will
be foolish to think they are TO rival Pennsyl-
vania all at once because the boom has struck
them. and the Northern capitalists are on
the ground.

The Boomer as a statesman.

The rush into Oklahoma Is an exciting and
interesting spectacle. Men of all classes and
conditions are elbowing each other in
grand scramble for land such as was never
before seen on this continent. While the
spectacle will probably grow less exciting In
lew weeks 1t will be no less interesting be-
cause there will be furnished an instructive
spectacle Of the self reliance of the Ameri-
can democracy. People Of all characters and
conditions have crowded into a tract of land
where there is no civil government, no
landmarks of such government and no es-
tablished homes. Congress failed to pass
the Oklahoma bill which would have fur
nished lawful government under which the
new community might have started off,
Now there Is no government save the police
regulations imposed by the United States
government, and the settlers must them
selves establish their government If they
succeed In the attempt 1t will be striking
example Of the efficacy of the training in
self government which the American democ.
racy furnishes even to its least promising
members. Congressman Springer who has
been the first and leading agitator for the
opening of the territory, has sketched the
plan which viii probably be followed. He
says that as soon as more than 100 people
have assembled at any place likely to become
a town site, the inhabitants should call a
mass meeting and at once appoint provis-
ional mayor and other city officers, adopting
for their guidance the government and laws
of Kansas, the nearest government, in re-
ference to the government of cities and
towns. This provisional government should
at once call an election for aldermen and put
a city government in complete force. The
mayor Of the city should nsxt cooperate in
issuing call for a territorial convention, to
be composed Of delegateslfrom every NUM-
cipality or centre of population. This con-
vention could be convened at once and pro-
coed to establish a provisional territorial
government, for which the statutes of the
United States furnish ample directions
This government with the aid of the jurisdic-
ton Of the United States courts could man.

meets and has the opportunity to organize a

ler; we may now see what he can.do as q

In the matter Of Fort preble, Me.


In the matter of Fort Preble, Me.
Forl Preble was constructed sometime during
the summer of 1908. The question of fortifying
the Atlantic sea coast towns was q matter Of
years. A battery and block houee were erected
Tor the defence Of the town in 1875 and 1895, but
these soon fell into decay. A small fort which
was completed in 1906 and received the name OF
Fort Summer, but the site of this work was in
!uoiclously selected and the engineers reported
'nat new works were necessary.
Under date of January 6, 1909, President
JEFFERSON IN message to Congress on the
subject Oh sea-coast defence reports:

This Is the record we have of the existenoo
of Fort Preble. The records of the two de-.
partments prior to 1920 are very meagre
IRE In the war department. in 1900 consumed
most of the records prior to that date and nm
the approach of the British in 1914 the re.
cords which had accumulated up to that date
were either destroyed or distributed In such
a manner that few of them have been re-
covered. 1t may have been that the designa-
ton of this work originated in the war de-
partment, but OF this there is no certainty.
The names of most Of the early works were
conferred upon them by the constructing en-
gineers and not always with the approval of
the department. It nas always been con-
sidered by this Office that Fort Preble was
named in honor to the memory of Edward
Preble, commodore in the United States
navy. He was perhaps the most prominent
naval officer Of his day and his operations
along the Barbary coast which resulted in
the peace of Sd Of June, 1906, by which the
tribute that European nations had paid for
centuries to the Barbary pirates was abolish

The cancellation Of Sunday freight trains
on the Vanderbilt roads east of Chicago is a
movement of great Importance. 1t means
of course large reduction of Sunday work
not only on these roads, but also on connect
ing roads. Mr.. Depew says that the reason
for this action is almost purely religious
Whether il Is to remain the permanent policy
or not will probably largely depend upon its
economical results. Laboring men ought to
hope for its success, for the encroachments
upon Sunday which have been growing
rapidly of late years, bode no good to them.
An occasional day Of rest is essential to the
their physical well being. and the extra pay
for Sunday work cannot compensate them
for its loss. Putting out Of sight all the re-
ligious aspects of the question, the argu-
ments for the observance OF Sunday, to the
extent certainly Of refraining from work, are
snanswerable and conclusive. and they ap.
peal, or ought to appeal, to what are common
ly called laboring men with more force than
to any other class. The man that rests one
day out of the seven viii live longer. and ac-
complish more in the end, other things being
equal, than the man who undertakes to keep
the physical machine constantly In motion.

Los Angeles daily herald., 1889-05-06

people Of Los Angeles will suddenly come
to realizing sense of magnificent
amount of scenic beauty right within the
city limits, the existence of which they
had not perhaps imagined. The park
consists Of four or five ranges OF hllls,
traversed in both directions by deep
cafions, all emerging to the river. The
highest elevation is about $50 feet above
the sea level. Engineers are now
ct work planning out the easiest
way to put in roads to show
of this panorama of scenery to the best
advantage. Right along the river front
is a succession of peaks. very much like
bluffs, which are easy of access from the
Salamo canon lying back OF them. A
road can easily be put in to their sum-
nit. and the edge bulwarked by the
stone which is cropping out ready for
that use. There is one OF these peaks
which is destined to be the Point Look
out for all the surrounding country.
Whenever a road is put in by which,
over an easy grade, carriages may be
driven to the summit, every visitor will
be taken to this spot, that he may have
a complete view of the promised land.
Mountains and foothills, ocean and
plains, the river, the city, aud the culti-
waited fields spread out like gigantic
checker-board are all within the unlim-
tied sweep of the eye. 1t is to be doubted
whether any city in the world can show
to the tourist a more memorable spec
tacle.
No great expense will be necessary to
put in road to the top of the ridge.
Saturday afternoon the Mayor remarked,
Just as the party WAS about to leave the
Park, "Well, 1 believe can drive up
that hill, just as it is, without any road. !"
The reporter asked to be excused and,
climbing out, followed behind, while the
light phaton jumped along over rocks
and clumps of bushes, evidently much
to the disgust of the thoroughbreds.
est won't cost very MUCH" said
Sutherland Hutton, who had also driven
up to the top in a cart, "and we may as
well begin on the work of putting this
road in at the very outset"
A drive through Elysian Park as it is
at present, is very delightful trip. The
best way to make it, starting from the
plaza, is to drive across to Buena Vista
street, then from College through Adobe,
past the Pressed Brick Company's place
to the Chaves Cafion. There is good
road all the way through, ana the
scenery, as the canon comes out at the
river, is wild and picturesque.
The Board of Park Commissioners
contains several gentlemen who have had
good deal of experience in park mat
ters, and all are of the opinion that i'm
provements in this line will be of pro-
found advantage to the growth of the
city,
