A PRACTICABLE PROPOSITION

The idea of trade drumming" in remote parts by a
floating exposition not chmerical can it properly
be called experimental AS The Herald has stated be-
ago. they have followed 1t since with satisfactory
results.
The Herad's attention called to the subject
more than a year ago in report to the government
from a United States consul in Germany The plan
seemed feasible and we'll adapted to the opening
Pacific ports that its adoption strongly advocated
by The Herald
1t is gratifying to note that project is matur-
ing for adopting the steamship drumming plan and
for following 1t up with the Inauguration of a steam
ship line between San Pedro and the southern ports
The latter idea is quite familiar to The Heralds readers
1t has been presented frequently in these columns
There is doubt that large direct business could be
built up between Los Angeles and the southern coun
tries which have ports the Pacific coast and the
governments of those countries could be depended
upon TO aid the enterprise.
One feature of possibilities for such steamship line
not yet been discussed That is the raac possib
ties with Atlantic ports by of the Panama railway
and particularly by the Tehuantepec railway
which is nearly completed the southern neck of
Mexico. The latter will AFFORD saving of about
1000 miles, compared with the Panama route In
transportation between Pedro and Atlantic ports
And what possibilities lie in that prospect in case
II would be feasible to transport citrus fruits thus to

WOULD USE MOTORCYCLES
FOR COLLECTING MAIL

Postmaster Flint, in his efforts to bet
ter the local service for the collection
of United States mail, has hit upon the
new plan Of making collections in the
more sparsely settled districts Of the
city by the use of motorcycles, and will
ask the department at Washington for
permission to make a trial of his
scheme. At the present time the work
is being done with horse and cart, and
is necessarily slow. Mr.. Flint says the
plan OF using motorcycles for this work
has been tried in England for the past
several years and has met with great
success.

WHERE THE SHOE WILL PINCH

The terms Of peace settlement between the Russians
and the Japanese of trivial consequence to the
U11ted States compared with the commercial
quences of Japans commanding position in the Orient
AS result of the war, matter what the peace
terms may be, Japan will have nestimabe advan-
nations in controlling the bulk of Oriental Along
with their military and naval power the Japanese
the recognized Yankees of the Orient with the energy
ambition that characterize the Yankees
cident.
The textile fabrics for supplying the 100000 600 peo-
pie almost within touch of Japan, for example, will
largely from Japanese looms. The magnitude of
such industry In Japan, at the present time, is
not generally understood outside of that country. AS
an indication of it, the news brought to Seattle
last Thursday by Japanese steamship to the effect
that fire had destroyed 100000 bales of cotton at the
docks of Kobe The dispatch says:
1.-The loss was scarcely noticeable to the casual OBJ
server the space which the burned cotton had taken
being filled almost Immediately by other bales dis
charged from the ships And it is stated that there
were eighty ships at the docks of that
port lying in the ong awaiting their opportunity to
discharge their cargoes which for the part
sisted of cotton"
Kobe is the seaport of Osaka, the chief manufacture
ing city Of Japan There dozens of the highest
type of modern textile mills in Osaka which have an
output of cotton woolen fabrics Instead
of buying such fabrics in the United and Europe
as they formerly did, the Japanese now import raw
and manufacture the goods They already supply
vast quantities of such goods China and with all
their advantages of contguity and cheap labor they
may be able to control the China market the future
The textile industry before remarked, Is only an
example. The Japanese expand their manufacture
ing lines indefinitely and they surely will take advan-
tage of the splendid opportunities now opening for
them.

A SUBURBAN BOOST

The quick rise Of land values in San Fernando valley,
consequent upon the Los Angeles water DEAL is mat
ter Of broad significance That valley is not the only
region hereabout that has suffered because Of
tanty concerning It's supply. There points
close to Angeles where city wells have been sunk
recently causing an immense drain upon the water
deposits IN the neighborhood
Even in certain outlying districts within the city
limits there much apprehension prior to the Owens
valley deal that the future Of the supply could
not be depended upon.
The joyful feeling now noted in the San Fernando
valley is shared especially the other districts where
similar uncertainty existed All fear has been dispelled
in that respect The possibility Of water shortage in
any of the outlying districts is thing of the past The
sole for misgivng about the future Of values in
suburban localities has disappeared like mist before
the morning sun"
1t is said that in the San Fernando valley property
values have advanced wonderfully since the
Of permanent and abundant water supply. There are
reports Of at double the figures that ruled
month ago. The whole valley in fact begins to mani
fest symptoms of a substantial boom.
The experience noted in that valley will have its
counterpart, to extent in the outlying addi-
tions to this city. Almost the first question that
experienced investor has been to ask In regard
to such property related to the water supply Assur
Of abundant water for the future funda-
mental consideration And residence additions
have suffered of uncertainty in that vitality
important matter.
More rapid Improvement Of all the outlying parts Of
the city will be natural result of making the water
question "closed incident" in relation to suburban
property. With that fundamental obstacle out of the
way there will be renewed attraction for investors in
the outskirts Of the city All sagacous persons who
view the conditions in Los Angeles confident that
the growth of the city will continue at its present rate
Half dozen years hence the population will be double
what it is today, with twice many homes.
1t needs no gift of prophecy to see that within the
next half dozen years shall see repeated the expert
of a like period in the past-farms and other
vacant acreage outside the present lines Of improve
ment will be covered with the homes of happy and
prosperous people.
