1.-THE moment the Nicaragua bill
passes congress-" said J. T. Steward,
one Of the largest drygoods dealers in tn
state. this city will start on q growth
that will soon outclass every city in the
west. Years ago some people laughed
at Chicago's competition against St.
Louis, but look at her today. That's
the way it will be with Los Angeles az
compared to San Francisco in the course
of time. OF course, we must have hsr-
Dor facilities, and, I believe that San
Pedro is the place for improvement.
With the Nicaragua canal constructed,
the San Pedro harbor improved, and a
competing line of railroad to Central
California, Los Angeles will certainly be
a wonderful commercial center.
"We do not want the Southern Pacific
company to own our whole water front,
ss it does in San Francisco, and, of
course, it would be 40 if the Santa Mon
ica harbor were to be improved. A
hsrbor is what we want, but give us the
railroad first, and the hsrbor will come.
San Francisco is q back number. Los
Angeles must take her place in western
commerce, and now is the time to grasp
the opportunities extended to us.
"The benefits OF q railroad to the Sa n
Joaquin would certainly enrich this city. 4.
and all Southern California, but it's ad~
vantsges to us would bs no greater than
they would be to the people of that SEQ
ten. As soon as the confidence OF the
people is restored regarding the fnan-
cial question, railroads will come, and
in few years 1 expect to see several

The people OF Los Angeles opened
their eyes wider thsn usual yesterday
morning when they read their HERALDs,
and all day long they had only words of
praise to bestow upon the 'only journal

accrue to Los Angeles and all Southern

the interests of Los Angeles be better

on the same subject yesterday, and
some Of these interviews are here given.

entered the fight for the good Of South

interested in bringing Central and
Southern California into closer trade

thrown open to all those who have
earnest words to say for the good of

fits which must follow the infnenca of

the result must ultimately be marked

Tho fact that our iobbers cannot now

man G. Teed-It is q great proposition,

1t is logical that Los Angeles should be
the commercial center of the territory
which comprises what were the "cow
counties" The building of the Santa
Fe road has made possible just such a
move as is now contemplated, and the
time is more than ripe for action on
the matter. We have just as short a

Francisco, and goods could a. we'll be
