The continued growth and progress

the money from the bank in order to
purchase a little home in the country.
When he discovered the money Smith
said nothing, but waited for the return

hearing a description of the purse
Smith returned the money without

years.
San Pedro Developments
Developments at San Pedro con-
vince me that local capitalists are pre-
pairing for just this very thing. That
city is destined to have one of the
finest harbors on the coast. 1t will
be the gateway for Los Angeles ex-
ports and imports and the develop
ments of the last few weeks is con-
vincing in the argument that an ORR

with the establishment of the ORR
entail steamship line what is to prevent
the establishment of the coastwise
steamers to get into competition with
the trade with the southern republics? :?
1t is the logical consequence and
believe it Is the intention of those in
terested. :.
Nothing that 1 can think of now Is
so much needed and just as surely as
the transportation facilities are pro-
vided will Los Angeles invade the
southern republics with her wares and
competition with other markets will
be easy, because those markets will
then be at a disadvantage and cannot
compete with our merchants.
TT will be necessary for our mer-
chants to get into the territory to ad-
vertise their business in order to get
the trade and The Herald's idea of
floating exposition is the best sugges-
tion for that purpose.

the products of local shops and fac
tories, in charge of experts, would

LIBRARY ROW IS

POLITICIAN SAYS QUESTION IS
SHELVED
INQUIRY is TOO EXPENSIVE
City Is Unable to Bear Cost of lnves-
tigation and No Other Source

''The library squabble is now a closed
incident" said a well known politician
yesterday. "The club women objected
to politics In the public library, there
fore the councilmen gave them just
exactly what they asked for, that is as
near as mere men could tell. The babel
of voices was so great it was difficult
to understand everything, but some one
discovered the women wanted tEe

what the women said they wanted. any
way.
"The councilmen, being men, have
implicit faith in the ability of the men
composing the library board. as the
members Of this board have occupied
many responsible positions and are men
of high standing.
TThe city fathers also realized that If
they held an investigation, regardless
of how thorough, and found that the
library board had acted wisely, the wo-
men would not be satisfied and would
Immediately again begin the howl OF
politics.
Therefore, to satisfy the women that
there would be no politics in the inves-
tigation, the council invited the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers association,
the chamber of commerce and the
Municipal league to appoint a committee
to act as judges and conduct the in
vestigation.
"This is all well and good, but have
the three big municipal bodies accepted
the invitation? Have they appointed a
committee? viii they appoint such a
committee and conduct an investiga-
ton? 1t is safe to say mo- to all of
these questions.

Following the discussion of the plans
to send a drumming ship" down the
Pacific coast to awaken the southern
republics to the advantages Of Los
Angeles as q market place comes the
rumor that Canada and Mexico are
anxious to give good subsidies in or
der to secure the establishment Of an
independent steamship line to cater
to the trade between British Columbia
and South America.
Chamber of commerce officials say
the establishment of such a line
means the opening of trade relations
with all southern ports in which Los
Angeles will be the greatest gainer.
The only barrier, they say, to Los An
geles coming into her own rights as
the premier marketing place for these
countries Is the lack of freight trans
portatlon facilities upon basis that
would permit Los Angeles to compete
with the other markets. OF right, the
trade of Southern Pacific ports be-
longs to Los Angeles and the fact that
transportation facilities have been de-
MED alone has prevented the entry of
local merchants into the trade re-
lations which naturally are theirs by
right of location.
Nearest Market
Los Angeles is located nearer to the
coast cities of Panama, Mexico, South
and Central America than any other
city and it's manufacturers and mer-
chants are anxious to come into their
right, but are prevented because of
the necessity of a 500 mile freight haul
to San Francisco and the 500 mile ship
haul down the coast adds a freight
rate burden which prevents competi-
ton.
This fact has given rise to talk of
local capitalists forming an independ.
ent steamship line to enable local mer-
chants to compete in their own terri
tory with the merchants of other cit
les. While the question is being con-
sidered by capitalists, the offer from
Canada and Mexico comes as a spur
to the talk and the probabilities of
early action seem brighter now than
ever before.
Commercial expansion for Los An
geles must come as a natural result
and fastening the day is the desire of
those interested. The isolation of Los
Angeles cannot continue because It's
business men are too enterprising and
too willing to spend their money for
the advancement of it's interests. They

Pretty Rose Quin, the domestic who

believed to be in hiding in Los Ange-

her friends and the notoriety which
she is acquiring by reason of her es-

She has not met with an accident
and there is not a man interested in
her disappearance. Detectives Davis

on the case, say that the escapade of
Rose Quin is nothing more nor less
than childish prank.
While police reporters and detectives
have been seeking her, she has been
