stormy season OF the year, the Board bav-
ing these roadsteads under constant obser-
vation, there was not day nor night
when an able vessel, well found
in ground tackle, could not lie
in entire security at anchor in
either place. All evidence shows the
general absence of storm winds and that
dangerous gales are rare.
The heaviest seas come from the south
and southwest. In San Pedro roadstead,
the great ocean undulations, impelled APP
parenily by some distant storm, are mod
flied TO some extent by the islands of San
Clements and Santa Catalina, and these
islands may also somewhat modify the
waves of undulation reaching Santa Mon
lea. Notablc storms are rare. They come,
if at ali, during the rainy season from
November to March. The wind from
April to October is generally from the
northwest and brings fair weather; 1t is
sometimes boisterous, but not storm
wind The greatest danger comes from
combination of distant ocean and local
storms, producing the cumulative effects
of local wind waves superimposed upon
the long undulations of great ocean
SWELL the source of which can be inferred
but is not seen. Such combinations occur
at intervals of several years. Though
rare, they must not be ignored in the con-
struction of works designed for harbor
protection.

Santa Monies. Bay is free from known
submerged dangers. A deep draught ship,
entering the bay at Point Dune and
coasting along its shore one mile distant
therefrom, could round its south
ern head, Rocky Point, without
having entered at any portion
of her course a less depth than 40 feet at
low tide. The bottom of the central por-
ton of this bay is plateau of easy slopes
which reaches depth of over so fathoms
seven miles from shore. Upon either side
of this plateau much deep wafer exists;
on the north, the 80 fathom curve reaches
within four miles of the shore at point
southwestwarti from Port Los Angeles
wharf; south of the plateau a submarine
valley brings the so fathom curve within
half a mile of the shore line at Redondo;
six miles from shore 200 fathoms are
found A broad, sloping sand beach ex-
tends entirely around Santa Monica bay;
back of this beach, from Santa Monica
TO beyond the Port Los Angeles pier,
bluff of hard clay rises abruptly this
! bluff opposite the pier being about 200
feet high. About half mile east of the
I
yon, and containing some good arabic
land, opens through this bluff; a few
houses are built in the mouth of this can
yon. There are no tide flats and there
is TO opportunity for an interior basin in
this part of the bay. The pier built by
the Southern Pacific Company is very
thoroughly constructed timber pier, the
piles being creosoted and the superstruc-
ture carefully designed In locating this
pier, care was taken 10 align it as
nearly as possible in the direction of the
approach of the heaviest swells, which
was determined eXperifnentally to be

Railroad run to the extreme end of this
pier, around which is "a we'll arranged
system of mooring buoys, so that vessels
lying at the pier can be breasted OFF, leav-
ing them free to rise and fall with tine
swell. The pier is 1900 feet long and ter
inmates in 5l2 fathoms of water; it is the
most carefully designed and thoroughly
constructed ocean pier on the California
coast. The west end of Santa Catalina
Island bears south 9 degrees east, mag

A COMPARISON
Advantages and Disadvantages q
San Pedro and Santa Monica

In comparing the two harbors for ehe
purpose of establishing as between them
the best location for deep-water harbor
for commerce and of refuge, it b neces-
sary to consider not only at which point
the best harbor can be made, but at whco
point harbor, when so made, VIII p
most useful. If the location at which the
hest harbor can be made Is also the one
at which harbor will be most useful,
there can be no doubt which place shoulc
be selected. If harbor which Will meet
the requirements of the law can only
be made at one of the two places, that
location should undoubtedly be chosen.
If. however, q harbor can be constructed
al each point which will meet the ~
a,,irernents of the law, the location ct
which harbor will be most useful 10 the
one which should be preferred.
The estimates and descriptions alTeRdy
given show that a harbor can be c6n-
structed at either point which viii meet
the requirements of the law; the only
contingency is the soft bottom in Santa
Monica bay, and this Is simply quee-
tion of additional material and cost. At
each place. good deep-water anchorage
in six TO eight fathoms OF water can be
obtained. At either place the necessary
accessories for the convenient transfer OF
business from shipping TO land can bs

accessories must be in the form of piers

iier coast survey charts as San Pedro Bay,
but on the more recent ones is called
Wilmington Lagoon. The village of Will
mington, on the north side of this Ia
COON, is the point at which freight was
formerly landed and the original termi
nus of the railroad from Los Angeles,
which railroad was extended to its pres
ent San Pedro terminus in 1882. In the
reports of the chief engineers, United
States army, the whole inner basin, in
Guiding the entrance, is generally referred
to as Wilmington Harbor. Locally, Viii
mington is understood to be the village
and wharves, now dismantled, on the
north side of the lagoon, while the vii
lage and wharves between the lagoon and
the sea are known as San Pedro. The To-
cation at San Pedro must be understood
to mean location which will include the
entrance to the inner San Pedro
harbor within its protected area.
ESSENTIALS.
In brief, harbor which will fulfill the
requirements of the act must be one with
in which wharves basins or docks can be
constructed and where vessels drawing as
much as 80 feet can lie quietly alongside
quays or piers while loading or discharg-
ing 1t must furnish an anchorage where
the largest vessels can anchor i'll safety
at all times. 1t must further include
within its protected area either the South
ern Pacific Company's pier at Port Los
Angeles or the present entrance TO the in
ner harbor at San Pedro.
Santa Monica and San Pedro Bays are
open roadsteads, with exposure towards
the ocean, they are separated by San Pc
dro hill, which rises to a height of 1875
feet above mean low water and which
sharp headlands the most easterly head
land being known as Point Firmin, and
the most westerly being designated OH the
coast survey charts as Rocky Point. Back
of the hill lies IA comparatively fiat and
low country, which reaches from one bay
to the other, the two bays being only sew
Ell miles apart at the nearest point. This
comparatively level country extends
northward and eastward from the bays to
beyond the city of Los Angeles, SO that
either bay can be easily reached from that
city by railroads or other lines of commu-
nication. Although the country is COM
paratively fat it rises from the sea, Los
Angeles being nearly 800 feet above mean
low water.
EQUABILITY OF WEATHER.
The region where these two roadsteads
are located is remarkable for general
equability of weather and absence of
storms. During a stay of fifty days in
this vicinity, in what is known as the

of water in the proposed harbor of refuge
must be such that the largest ships can
safely ride at anchor within its limits,
swinging over their own anchors without
danger
THE TWO SITES.
One of the two locations specified in
the act is at Port Los Angeles in Santa
Monica Bay. Santa Monica Bay em-
braces the area between Point Dune and
Rocky Point. Port Los Angeles is the
name given by the Southern Pacific Com
pany to its station on the wharf which it
has constructed about two miles west of
Santa Monica village; on the coast
survey charts this name is applied to
a point on the shore at the mouth or
the Santa Monica Canyon; there
is at present no postofiice, municipal
city or other legal incorporation bearing
this name. In the absence of any further
description, Port Los Angeles must be un-
derstood TO mean the Southern Pacific
Companys pier, and deep water harbor
at Port Los Angeles must be so situated
as to include this pier within its protected
area.
CAT SAN PEDRO"
The other location specified in the act
is "et San Pedro The name San Pedro
is applied to the roadstead which lies i'm
mediately east of Point Firmin, and
which is called San Pedro Bay; it is also
the name of postoffice, Incorporated vii
lage (city of the sixth CLASSY and railroad
station lying north of Point Firmin and
near the west end of San Pedro Bay. The
water area Immediately east of this vii
lage and separated from San Pedro Bay
by Rattlesnake Island and the jetties
which the United States government has
constructed, is designated ON the coast
survey charts as ''San Pedro harbor" A

The Prescott Journal Miner says that Park Harper, live stock Inspector at Frrdonia, in Coconino county, makes complaint of rather peculiar condiiion of affairs in his section. He says the country m his vicinity is overruu by large band of several hundred wild horses, unbranded and unclaimed by anybody. Besides the devastation they inflict upon the ranges, they are nuisance in many other ways. If cattle man turns out tame saddle horse to graze, he is apt to get mixed up with the wild horses. and the chances are many to one that he will never be recaptured. Occasionally fine horse belonging to the herd is captured. but there is belief that it is violation of the present live stock law for one to claim possession of the horse or to take him off the range "without the
