THE Santa Monica Outlook is trying
to arouse the people of that de-
lightful seaside town to an active effort
to place before Congress its claims to an
ample appropriation to create harbor
in front OF it tAat would bring ship and
rail safely together. 1t cites Captain
Taylor, who spent months in sounding
and surveying Santa Monica Bay, and is
therefore excellent authority in the
premises, as having declared that it was
the best place on the Southern Coast
for breakwater, which would
convert that bay into har-
Dor of refuge as well as of
commerce. No one would be more
delighted than the HERALD to see the
Government make extensive harbor i'm
provements at Santa Monica; but the
Outlook should not blame the Chamber
of Commerce or the papers here because
they have confined their efforts to So.
cure appropriations tor improving the
harbor of San Pedro. The Government
has that work actually in hand, and has
spent over half million dollars already
in the breakwater and jetties at that
point. To scatter our efforts between all
the places adjacent to Los Angeles capa-
BILE of being made into harbors would be
to secure nothing. But by concentrating
them upon the harbor already in the
way of improvement We may secure An
appropriation large enough to duplicate
the work already done by an outer sea.
wall that would bring deep-sea ships
and whsrves together. We hope that
the Outlook will continue to urge it's
people to present its claims to Congress.
Nobody in Los Angeles will place a stone
in their way. But the situation absolutely
demands that we here should insist upon
Congress finishing the work it has begun
at San Pedro.

Roscoe Conkl,ng,s idea, Love,

The recent publication of 'The Life OF
Roscoe Conkling" reminds me OF an III
teresting and romantic story told me by
the editor OF prominent New York State
journal, who was close friend of Sena-
tor Conkling, and which has never
been published. The editor was
sitting late at night with Mr.. Conkling
after the latter had delivered one of his
grandest speeches during an exciting
campaign. They sat for come time in ST.
lence before brightly glowing fire, Into
which Conkling gazed intently. At Last
he spoke upon the theme of all themes
love. He spoke with the same eloquence
and brilliancy that had distinguished his
effort of the evening.
'In my boyhood," he said, "I fell in
love. In love with an ideal--in love
with that glorious character, Mary
Queen OF Scots. What q woman! What
grace, what beauty, what magnetism
what power! have loved her all nv
life."
The editor listened to his rhapsodv
and thought it a graceful fancy of a great
man.
"I should never again have thought
of it," said he, in CONCLUDING
the story, had it not been for

The Storm.

The large ring recently observed
around the moon has rightly been
regarded by our weather prophets
as prognostic of more snow. 1t
came Thursday night, but the north
bound train did not. At this writ
ing it adorns the track about half a
mile south of the station, while the
train men are anxiously awaiting
some relief from the main line.
They have done everything in their
power to get through, but in vain;
and will probably be compelled to
remain in the snow until such time
as the rotary pillow can reach them
from the south. At least fifteen in
ches of new snow lay on the ground
in this vicinity yesterday morning,
and the wind blew steadily north
ward, causing more or less drifting.
Parties came over the Trail creek
summit on the previous evening,
and thus far no serious delays are
reported on mail routes north and
east, where there is usually most to
contend with in the event of storm.
The present depth of the beautiful

of the winter of 1880, which will be
remembered by old-timers as a
rouser, in respect to the total fall
and it's general severity. In mod
