ways; pictures our sins in feeriully,
luridly black colors; warns the COM
munity agsinat 10 and sclemnly declares
that tho result of the petition to con-
grets in favor OF deep sea hSrbor at
San Pedro will reduce this city to the
miserable, moEopoly-ridden, old -foSy-
ish, worn out and effsto condition OF
San Francisco. He solemnly declares
il as his editorial opinion that one oil
the chief reasons why San Francisco has
no competing railroads is because the
press and people OF that city had
the tsmerity to demand the arrest OF
G. P. Huntington for violation OF the
law of the land.

when this county had only one railroad,
and that the Southern Pacific, have
vivid recollection OF the great prosperity
We then enjoyed. These old timers
will remember that we had $4,000 pop

hundreds in Pasadena and Pomona,

com mercial rival, is clamorins tor
railroad by which it can cheaply reach
our market; and because THE HERALD
censuree the self al policy of the South
ern Pacific which prevents them from
bringing US their products and advocates
the building OF competing line; ana
because it also advocates the conitruc-
ton of a free harbor, which will enable
each section OF Southern California and
the lower h,f OF ths San joaquin VAL
