Of soil or climate alone. but Of man. And

PAVEMENTS COMP AIRED

A recent visitor to this city, who had
spent many years in Detroit, Michigan,
draws a parallel between Los Angeles
and Detroit not altogether favorable to
Los Angeles. He says in substance:
There seems to be a difference in the
quality of the asphaltum, for the streets of
Detroit are as clean every morning as
these cement pavement walks of yours;
for they are cleaned every night by street
sweeping machines, and the surface does
not appear rough or crumbling. Why If
we were TO allow this dust to blow around
our streets, there would go up such howl
from the merchants and pedestrians that
our potato-mayor-g governor would blow
up the city hall.
This criticism may be all right, but it
is hardly fair to Los Angeles, for this
city as respects paving is of mushroom
growth, and if we are ten years behind
in the matter of street cleaning. you just
give us show, stranger-five years will
make us all right.

TO HANDLE WAR MACHINERY

The objections to large standing
army in time of peace are so we'll under
stood in this republic, filled as it is with
men of the loftiest patriotism tried on
every battle field, that it needs no dis
cussion or explanation. But it must
occur to every lover of liberty and equal
rights that grave questions of policy
underlie the sentimental question of a
standing army being obnoxious to re-
publican governments.
The inventive genius of the Ameri-
cans has placed within the reach of our
war and navy departments machines so
destructive that the movement of armies
is not a question of generalship, but of
science and skill; and, no matter what
the cost, in men or money, those ma
chimes must be handled by men who
have been carefully trained to their
work or the machine is worse than use
less. Therefore, the requests of Gen.
Miles for more men, to keep pace with
the growth of the country in new war
machinery, is eminently proper. In
fact, Gen. Miles seems to have the COM
nonsense end of the argument.

FAIR PLAY

Americans, above all other people of
the earth, are lovers of fair play. Lin
coin said it at the Gettysburg celebra-
ton in referring to the south. Grant
said it at Appomattox, when he sent
the disheartened veterans of Lees army
home with their mules and horses
'Give them a chance" And so the
American people today, if their voice
could be heard, would say, Give us all
the same CHARGE" when the question
of bounties or sugar, ircn, lumber or any
other commodity, comes up. If it is In

INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT

In Los Angeles markets the best but
tor ie selling at 10 cents per pound to the
trade, and eggs are worth II cents per
dozen. To the consumer the prices are
20 cents for butter and 121a cents for
eggs
Old-timers have no trouble to recall
the days when all the butter and nearly
all the eggs consumed in Los Angeles
consumer a good deal higher prices
Indeed, in those days the general the
ory was that the lower counties were
worthless for any purpose except sheep
and cattle pastures.
AS late as 1870 an eastern commercial
traveller told story of riding on a stage
through the San Joaquin valley and
meeting a band of hogs being driven to
San Francisco. They came from Ha-
ham and eggs for breakfast. The eggs
cameFfrom San Francisco and the ham
from Chicago.
In those good, old days of the dolce
far piente period it was a fixed idea
about Los Angeles that hens could not
live here; that sweet butter could not
be made here; that mealy potatoes were
beyond the possibilities of our soils, and
that apples, cherries, plums and de-
ciduous fruits were as far out of our
reach.
How lessedly all these prejudices have
passed away. Today there is hardly
any butter coming here from outside of
the lower counties. The yellow. aro-
matte rolls, sweet as the breath OF
heaven, now found on the breakfast

are famous. not only at home, but to the
ends Of the earth where dried and can
ned peaches, apricots, pears and prunes

the most fastidious of feeders.
All this means that we are daily be-
coming more and more eseh-supporting,
that. the natural resources of the sec
tion are being wisely and vigorously
developed. and the people who live here
are thereby becoming more prosperous.
Having learned to minister to our
needs in these matters, the next step is
to carry the good work on to higher
point of successful achievement, and
produce a large surplus to send abroad
and bring back large returns in coin of
the realm to still further enhance the
we'll being of the community.

BOILER BURST
Hurting Railroad Men to
HideOus Death
THROWN THROUGH THE AIR
And Cut to Pieces by Striking Telegraph
Wires
THROWN THROUGH THE AIR
Though the Engine Was Blown to Pieces
the Passengers on the Train Were
Not Even Startled

CHICAGO, March 21.-The boiler of
the locomotive which was hauling the
Chicago and Boston special on the Lake
Shore and Michigan Southern railroad
blew up this morning. instantly killing
the engineer and fireman and complete
ly demolishing the engine.
The dead are Alexander Franks. en-
gineer, of Chicago, and Edward B.
Smith, fireman, of Chicago.
The engineer was hurled 200 feet in the
air through network of telegraph wires
that were stretched along the tracks and
had his right leg torn off. The fireman
was thrown against a cattle car with
such force that almost every bone in his
body was broken.
None of the remainder of the train
crew nor any of the passengers were
injured. The train to which the engine
was attached is one of the fastest on the
Lake Shore road and leaves the Van
buren street depot at 10:S0 o'clock in the
morning. The accident occurred about
II o'clock, as the train had just pulled
out from the Englewood depot and was
running at the rate of twenty miles an
hour.
A peculiar feature of the explosion was
the fact that although the report was
so loud it was heard by residents half
mile away, and the force so great that
the engine was literally blown to atoms,
none of the passengers in rear part OF
the train heard the report and were not
aware that anything unusual haq hap
pened until they looked out after the
train had come to a sudden stop. The
train dashed along about l5O feet atter
the explosion took place and although
the stop was quite sudden, none or the
passengers were thrown from their seats
and not one of the coaches was damaged
by either the explosion or the sudden
stop.
The force of the explosion was appa-
rently directly upward and outward, as
parts of the engine were thrown into the
air 100 feet and huge pieces OF the boll-
er weighing several tons were tossed INTO
a swamp a distance of $50 feet, while the
baggage car, directly behind the engine,
was not damaged in any way.
1t is not known just what caused the
explosion. officials of the road saying
that 1t will not be determined until what
remains of the engine is taken apart and
examined. 1t was thought at first that
there was no water in the boiler, but TINS
theory was abandoned as 1t was an out
going train and the engine had just been
taken from a roundhouse short time
before the explosion. 1t was rumored
that the boiler of the engine was defect
i've in some respects, but this was de-
MED by officials of the road. The latter
say the locomotive was in good condi-
ton in every respect, had been in service
about three years and was considered
one of the tasted engines on the road
The train that it was pulling was
known as No. 10, and is through train
from Chicago to Boston.

TO PATRONS OF THE HERALD
THE NEW FRANCHISE LAW

The new state law governing the
granting of franchises and privileges to
serve the public with conveniences of a
specific or general character will be in
effect on and after April 10 next.
This new law makes radical depar-
ture from the old methods of acquiring
franchises and the right of public do
main for constructing and operating
telegraph and telephone lines, street
railways. gas and water plants and elec-
trio power for public service. When it
becomes operative, those having author
ity to grant such privileges will receive
sealed bids for the franchise desired on
the basis of percentage of the gross
annual receipt of the individual or COM
pany securing the franchise. That is to
say, the enterprise that is chartered and
empowered to serve the public in ways
pay into the treasury of the community
granting the privilege a given per cent
of it's annual gross receipts, but the
right to such franchise falls to the bid
der who offers the largest percentage of
his gross earnings.
AS will be seen. the new law prevents
iobbing and tricks in granting fran
chises to serve the public, and obliges
the grantee to make the grantor par
tieipant without risk or investment in
whatever of good may accrue by the
employment of the privileges thus
granted. 1t would seem that since the
bids have to be submitted under seal
after the purpose of the enterprise shall
have been well advertised in the news
papers. and that they have to be opened
in public and the award made upon
merit, satisfying revenue should be
forthcoming to the community in inter-
eet.
