doubt, however. whether they will ever
be able to successfully compete with the
Utah coal when the Nevada Southern
opens those measures TO our market.
In this one item alone we can see
where the completion OF this railroad
will be OF incalculable benefit to Los An
geles. Even should it only supplant the
dear coal we now use with cheap coal,
that alone would be OF immense value
20 our people; but when we come to
consider that with coal at $5 per ton we
shall be enabled to extend our manu-
fsctures indefinitely, and give work to
thousands of men where but few scores
are now employe the benefits to accrue
to this city cannot be too highly esti-
mated. We believe that the indus.
trial advantages cheap coal alone will
give us will increase the population Of
this city enormously. But the iron
mines that exist in Utah will furnish US
with the raw material to build up here
the most fourishing iron works on the
Pacific coast. We will be in position to
establish rolling mills of immense
capacity, and to turn out Bessemer steel
plates that will supply armor for all the
war vessels that are to be built on this
coast, and to manufacture all the steel
rails that may be required in the con-
struction Of all the new railroads that
will be built this side of the Rocky
Mountains in the future. These are OF
course the iron industries of a leading
character that will be established here;
but there are thousand lines of iron
manufactures in which we shall sue
cessfully engage when the raw material
for their prosecution are cheaply acces-
sible to us.
To limit the growth OF this city 20
250, 900 inhabitants in the next ten years
is to make very modest estimate of
what it will be.

THE EFFECT OF CHRAP COAL.

Whether the very high cost Of coal in
this city is justified by the cost of get
ting it here or not, the fact remains
that as long as we have to pay from $40
to S11 per ton and upwards for that arti.
Gle, we cannot hope to make any degree
of progress in establishing msnufacto-
ries in Los Angeles. The report of the
United States geological survey gives
the amount of coal produced in the vari-
GUS states, with the price received by
the operators. The average price of
Washington coal was 1928 per ton at
the pits last year. 1t is predicted that
this price will be reduced, for the report
states that the effect of lower freight
rates which railroad competition has
brought about in that state will cause
the opening and operation of other
mines. Utah coal can now be bought
at the mines for 81. 56 per ton. Most of
the coal used in this city comes from
mines on Puget sound, and it may be
set down as fact that none Of this coal
exceeds the price of $2.28 per ton at the
pits. This would leave a margin of
from s7.72 to 1922 and over to pay for
the handling transportation and profit
on every ton of coal used in this market.
Either the cost of handling and trans
porting coal from Puget sound to Los
Angeles must be astonishingly great, or
the profits must far exceed those made
in any other staple article of commerce.
We shall undoubtedly see, as soon as
the Nevada Southern railroad delivers
Utah coal in this city at the rate OF $5
per ton, that our people have been pay
ing very exorbitantly for the article, and
the importers of coal from Washington
can lay it down in this marke. at much
lower rate than they now exact. We

DIAGONAL ROADS.

Yhere is strange prejudice in this
country against diagonal roads and for
compelling people to travel on rectang-
ular lines. Diagonal roads, as a rule,
are by far the most convenient and use-
full roads we have, but they are often
given up at the request OF some whim-
sical land owner and the public there
by put to great Inconvenience.
In establishing roads the frat
and almost the only confederation
should be the public convenience,
but that is often disregarded to comply
with the request of some individual
whose only consideration is his own con-
venience. In nine cases ont of ten
the abandonment of diagonal road is
an injury to the person VINO objects to
it, for such roads, oftener than other
wise, add largely to the value of the
property through which they run. 1t
requires no great perception to see that
property located on diagonal highways
or Streets in city or country, is usually
of the greatest value.
The reason for this is not far to seek.
Such apparently irregular ways result
from the demands of business, while
regular streets are laid out without such
consideration.
IN the country diagonal roads are not
only q great convenience, but effect a
very great saving in many WAYS. The
amount of extra and unnecessary travel
caused by the want of them is enor-
nous; and, of course. the wear and
tear and loss OF time proportion
stely great. The distance between two
points, for example, by a straight dag
onal road is five miles; the same dis
tancs by rectangular roads is seven
miles, or two miles more. This greater
distance. travelled by thousand teams
in week makes two thousand extra
miles travel; and in year a hundred
thousand miles; in ten years, how
much? Diagonal roads have been given
up in this country without apparently
the least thought as to the effect upon
the public and very great inconven-
fence has resulted therefrom.
In some instances public travel has
been diverted from old established dag
onal roads by individuals alone, without
the consent of the public authorities at
all. This has been done by simply
fencing up or plowing up the road, thus
driving people from it. as if by force. In
such instances the supervisors should
see to it that the old and convenient
road ia opened again. The public in
such cases loses none of its rights by
prescription, or lapse of time. 1t can
reclaim its own even after many years.

IT is said that Gresham has instructed
Minister Thompson at Rio de Janeiro to
by no means recognize De Mello at
present. 1t is very probable that the
cabinet has received an inkling of the
leaning of the Brazilian insurgent lead
ers towards the empire, and from va
riety of facts that have leaked out there
is reason to believe that Count d'Eu,
the eoH-in-law OF the late emperor, Dom
Pedro, is backing the revolution with
funds raised amongst the royalists of
Europe TO restore the empire in Brazil.
1t is even rumored that de Mello will
soon throw off all Disguise and float the
imperial flag ct the mastheads OF his
ships. On the supposition that these
rumors are true, gleam OF light IRA
dates the policy of the administration
in this instance. Let us be duly crate
full for this evidence OF ofreturning reason
in our government. We were sadly in
need OF some consolation of this kind
after trying in vain to interpret Gresh-
am's Hawaiian letter on American prin.

the Southern California Indiana. From
this DR.. Palmer infers q wide inter-
change and traffic among the Indians.
1t is most astonishing to see the fin
ished manner in which holes were
drilled in the various pieces of stone.
1t must have taken immense and patient
labor. In one OF the burial grounds an
unfinished pipe bowl was found by the
side of the remains of an Indian. He
had died while it was far from finished,
and it had been buried with him.
Some of the most interesting articles
are limitations of fish in stone. There
is one large fish, with fins complete,
and there are other diminutive fish
which evidence the touch of quite an
artistic aboriginal hand. There are
curious stone hooks, somewhat resem-
bling the picture hooks that hang on
picture mouldings. There is also the
model of dug-out in stone, that is q
finished piece of work.
The Indians kept up constant travel
between the islands and the mainland,
and it was in just such frsil little craft.
Among the fishing implements are
stone sinkers fashioned with cunning,
both for deep sea and surf fishing.
There are plummet shaped stones.
which it is supposed were charm stones
used by medicine men.
They are highly polished and made OF
manganese, onyx and white quartz. 1t
is thought they were used by the medi-
cine men as charms to bring rain, to
bring luck in war and for use in the va
rious superstitions of the Indians.
In the collections are hundreds of ar
ticles of ornament made from abilona
shells, from bones and even stones.
They embrace beads so small that it
seems impossible that they could have
been bored and fashioned with the
naked eye. Soms of these strings OF
beads are decorated remarkably with
crossed lines, in which asphaltum was
inserted to make the contrast greater
between black and white.
There is chain of highly colored
beads which were found in burial
place in the remains OF a big chief, and
were NO doubt greatly envied at one
time by the enemies Of the brave.

There is no museum in Los Angeles
where such an exhibit can be placed, but
it should properly be retained in the
