LOS ANGELES ROUSED.

The resolutions adopted by the Free
Harbor League of Los Angeles denouncing
the Withholding of All appropriation for
the improvement OF San Pedro harbor
make some interesting assertions. Among
them is one to the effect that Mr.. Hunt
ington owns controlling share in the
Atlantic and Pacific road bonds, and that
this explains the failure OF that line to en-
ter the reorganization scheme of the Santa
Fe. In SHORT, Los Angeles now realizes
that the one railroad which made its prog
ress possible stops at the Colorado River
an9 that Southern California is completely
at the mercy of the Southern Pacific. The
overlooking of San Pedro harbor and the
improvement OF Santa Monica would COM
plete the bondage.
This puts new light on the case. One
of the points made in the resolutions, that
the progress of Northern California has
been checked by the oppression of the
Southern Pacific monopoly, shows the i'm
portance of the estimate which Los An
geies has placed on the competition it has
enjoyed in the past. 1t is a familiar fact
that much of the prosperity of the south
ern end of the State was promoted by the
petition with the Southern Pacific, but
also of the intelligent advertising which it
did in the Atlantic States within the infiu-
ence of its Eastern terminus. The settlers
who went to Southern California were
largely persons of means and refinement,
and the result Of their settlement is mani
fest in the beauty and thrift and high de-
velopment Of the Southern section. What
Los Angeles has achieved under these cir
cumstances would have been the portion
of Northern California under similar con-
ditions
1t was q great surprise to Northern Cali
fornia that the Los Angeles Chamber of
Commerce should recently have passed
resolutions approving the funding bill.
That measure will operate just as seriously
against that section as the neglect of San
Pedro in favor of Santa Monica, and for
the same reason. 1t is difficult to see how
the action taken by the citizens under the
call of the Free Harbor League can be ex-
pected to prove effective in Washington so
long as the resolutions of the Chamber of
Commerce are allowed to stand That
represents in sense division, and har-
mony is what is needed now Should the
funding bill not be passed and the roads
made to submit to the operation of laws
already in existence foreclosure proceed
ings will be brought and the property sold
for the debt. This would result in the loss
of the Central Pacific to the Southern
Pacific system and would compel the
Southern Pacific to make strenuous exer-
tions to develop its territory in South ern
California. Los Angeles has very large
problem to solve, but it seems amply COM
petent for the task.

he had all he could do to prepare those brought
to him. Wilson did not pay the best price, but
then he was not overparticular rs to how long
the birds had been killed. There is little
doubt but that many of the birds he dried last
winter were sent to him after they had been
on sale week In San Francisco.
The process OF drying the ducks is simple
one. Wilson makes no secret OF 1t and any
bodv is at liberty to enter his laboratory at any
time. The birds are plucked of all feathers and
cleaned, the head being left on the body. They
are then hung up to drain an hour or so and
then filed with salt that has been heated and
made as dry as possible. This is shaken off and
the bird is hung on the line to dry. The first
few days they have TO be taken in when there
is any sign of rain, but when the flesh has
commenced to harden they can be allowed to
remain outside in all kinds of weather until
wanted. In six weeks they are ready for ship
ment. and it is said they will keep an indefinite
period after that.
All OF the ducks dried by Wilson are sold to
Chinese merchants in this City. Numbers of
them are consumed, but the larger quantity
are sent to China The ducks in the process OF
drying at first turn brown and then gradually
become darker until they are almost as black
as piece OF coal.

AROUND THE CORRIDORS.

Among the arrivals at the Occidental yester-
day was G. Barrere, of Columbus, Ohio, a
wealthy banker, who has for most OF his life
been spicuously identified with leading
banks in Columbus, Cincinnati and other Ohio
cities. He has now retired from work in the
banks, though he yet retains large interests.
For several years he has been travelling in
different parts of the country. Mrs. Barrere,
Misses Mary and Jean and George n. Barrere

THE AUTHORSHIP OF SONGS.

As the author OF Kathleen Mavourneen"
lies dying in Baltimore, kindly efforts are
being made to soothe his last hours, and his
immortal melody rises to all lips. Now, almost
too late, the world is recollecting Crouch; but,
though the recollection is tardy, the justice
will be done his memory by linking his name
and his melody together. He will stand as the
author Of Kathleen Mavourneen."
Yet this acknowledgment does injustice, too,
for it forgets Anne Crawford. who wrote the
ballad over century ago; aud this gives rise
to the question, Who is the author of q song?
Is 1t the author of the words or the composer
of the music?
OF course in the ordinary case the composer
gets the. credit. Or sometimes where COM
poser and poet are both well known, they will
both be remembered. But there are certain
widely popular songs and hymns whose author
ship seems more or less defined by circum-
stances. Crouch. for instance is the author OF
Kathleen Mayourneen," though Anne
Crawford wrote the words. John Howard
Paine, ON the other hand, is the author OF

DAWN.

High over down, and over town,
The great sky rests. upholding
Its dome OF blue, of darkest hue,
Ger mystic depths, enfolding
Tn unquiet sea. and quiet earth,
That breathleSs wait the mornings birth
See, in the far, the morning star
Shine trem bling, seaward sinking;
Hear, on the lea, the aspen tree
Sigh softly, mists indrinking.
The white-walled town below the hill
Sleeps, folded in night shadows chill.
Across the heaven a cloudlet driven
Foretells the stir of dawning,
The saffron fush the roseate blush,
Announce the Weakening morning;
SUD den, along the pale sea line,
The dawnl!ght runs, rose-red like wine.
The sleeping hill wakes with the thrill
Of sunrise warmly treading:
The shadows gray fit fast away
Before the gold oerspreading.
The lifting cadence of earth's voice
Ascends, as waking hearts rejoice.
Above the town the dark has flown,
White walls, red roofs, are cleaning;
Inrough sun-kisSed air. swift seabirds fare,
To lonely uplands streaming
Seaward, the wavelets spring to meet
The splendor of the m orning's feet.

Bishop Heber's hymn; the composer is we'll

unset, would not have been thought to surpass
many other similar poems. "Home, Sweet
Home" no matter If q tune had never been
tal Yet there are instances in which, as in
"Sweet and Low" the tune is at least equal to
the words; here the fame of the poet comes
into play: On the other hand, there are tradi-
tlonal folk songs superior to any words that
have been set to them. But this is special
case.
The best thing for man to do who wishes to
be remembered, is to write both words and
music, like stephen Foster. Otherwise there
cannot be any real certainty for him with pos
