The death Of Col L S. Baker,
which occurred yesterday afternoon, in
the block which bears his name, will
cast profound gloom over the com
munity. The deceased was man of
strong character, and his marked indi-
viduality WAS endeared to his friends by
many noble and charming traits. For
many years he was the partner Of the
late General Beale, and in connection
with that gentleman he amassed an
ample fortune in the sheep business,
He early realizsd the imp0r lance Of
Santa Monica, aud acquired the Rancho
San Vicente Santa Monica, a three
quarter interest in which he sold to
Senator John T. Jones somewhere
about the year 1874. Shortly after
wards he married the widow of Don
Abel Stearns. Colonel Baker was always
a great believer in Los Angeles, and the
Disasters following the suspension Of the
Temple & Workman bank and the drouth
OF 1S76-77 had scarcely spent their force
before he began the building of the
bupoTU Dahoi DiOChj az tIAo VINO w lbp
erection the finest business edifice in
the state outside OF San Francisco. He
built it as an earnest of his faith in the
future of this city, and the confidence
which he then showed undoubtedly had
a great influence in bringing others to
believe in the great things ahead for the
Angel City. There were many thinga
of note about Colonel Baker. He
was generous TO fault. No case of dis
trsss ever came under his notice that
did not meet instant relief. He WAS
sngularly modest and retiring; and, al
though the road to political preierment
was always open to him, he preferred
10 advance his friends TO public station
rather than seek it for himself. OF late

ELSEWHERE we reproduce a communi-
cation from Captain Colin Salmond, of
the steamship Wellington, upon the
merits of Port Los Angeles, This intel

ing the truth about the point where the
deep sea harbor near Los Angeles is to
be located. His ship delivered six hun

of the greatest storms Of last winter oc-
CURED and ex experienced no Inconvenience
whatsoever. On the same day the Santa
Rosa, after having been obliged to fore
go receiving freight and passengers at
Redondo. pulled up at Port Los Angeles;
and, as Capt. Salmond says elsew b ere,
made ss fine landing as |
ever saw-all in all-snd laid out her
usual time" The captain, who appears
to be remarkably level. beaded man,
continues; "Our warships should not
be cooped up in inner harbors, but
should lay in saie roadstead, with good
anchorage, roomy sheet of water to ma
neuver in and quick coaling facilities,
and no bar TO give delay. All these
qualifications are to be found in Sa TIA
Monica bay. The whole white aqusd-
ron could lay behind such a breskwster,
the crews enjoying climate unequaled
the world" Slowly but surely, and
not 30 slowly either, the fact is begin
ming to dawn upon people who are cap
able OF forming dispassionatej judgment
that the deep sea harbor" near Los
Angeles is to be created in the unrivaled

Two youths once lived in country town.
And one was Il giant fair,
With Saxon vikings golden crown
And a blacksmith muscles smooth and brown
When he made his right arm bare.
The other youth was Of dapper size.
So slender and short was he
That he found small favor in maidens' eyes,
And the giant boosted in merry wise,
81 could lay him across my knee"
These twain both courted the village belle,
But short was the race they run;
At the giants feet the maiden fell,
And the little man, though he pleaded well,
Naught more than her pity won.
They marched away to the wars one day,
In haste for the battles van,
And the people cheered when the giant gay
Strobe stoutly past for the distant fray,
And they smiled at the little man.
But the earliest ball by a foeman sped
One drop from the war black skies
Passed safely over the pygmy's head,
And the giant, who stood behind, fell dead,
With bullet between his eyes.
Then the little man swore, though his sight was
dim,
And he bounded ahead Of them all,
And the whole great army followed him
Till he leapt like devil, little and slim,
First man DER the battery wall
And he planted the flag Of his country there
While the routed army ran,
And the legions roared as it tloated fair
On the dusliy waves of sulphurous air,
Three cheers for the little mani"
oh, | don't know, and cannot say
What the giant might have done,
But I'm sure the maiden will weep Away
For her lover shot in the first of the fray
And dead ere his fame was won.
For war is u field Of chance, you know.
Let him dodge the bullets who can.
But love is garden where fancies blow,
And the form of giant makes larger show
Than the soul of little mani
