AS OTHERS SEE US

Within the line of The Heralds observation, every
newspaper that has commented upon the Owens valley
water project, with single exception, praises Los An
gele for its foresight and its boldness The local yellow
journal of course is the exception referred to. The
of opinion among the newspapers of the state
is that Los Angeles has achieved mastery stroke of
policy enterprise Several Of the papers make their
local application of the example set by this city
and suggest the possibility of proftng thereby.
Conditions in most of the minor cities Of Southern
California in regard to the water problem similar
those presented in Los Angeles That say they
have water sufficient unto the day." but not for the
future. Some pertinent observations this point
made by the Riverside Press:
Looking to the future, believe who is
familiar with conditions in Southern California will
doubt the wisdom of the proposition Los Angeles is
undertaking. Not only in that city, but In other por
tions of Southern California the water development has
not kept pace with the growth of population and the
extension of irrigated There has been for long
time growing conviction that in the future it will
for this section to look to comparatively
mote sources for an increase in it's water supply"
The sentiment Of the people of Los Angeles appears
to be practically unanimous in favor of clinchng the
Owens valley proposition without unnecessary delay.
Every movement for the advancement of public interests
encounters few chronic kckers, of course, and that
class may be expected to show up feebly But Los
Angeles is not advancing backward" and it will give
heed to mulish propensities.
The emergent necessity is the mailing of those
options the lands comprising the Owens valley
After the title vested in the city there
will be time to proceed lesurey in devisng the best
most economical method for conveying the water from
its to the city.

THE POISON LABEL LAW

Imagine a spectacle presented by fond father of
Los Angeles native whose acquaintance with the
world is recent Aroused from sound sleep by an in
fant oucry and wifey suggestion to hustle he turns
the light and reaches for the soothing syrup bottle
and spoon.
Then, he braces his for accurate dropping
his vision takes in the label the bottle Soothing
syrup, enough, but along with the announcement
appears the awful warning poison together with the
horrid Skull and bones"
And from the bottle thus labeled and branded the
proud parent is expected to drop poison the
and dump 1t into the stomach of his beloved offspring
Such will be the experience long of many a Los
Angeles parent. The local health authorities have de-
temined reported to require that all medical prepar-
aons containing poisonous ingredients shall bear the
poison label. This action will be in accordance with
law passed by the last legislature. Opium is poison
and all medicines containing opium it's products will
within the ban Soothing syrups paregorcs and all
other sleepinducing mixtures for infants said to
contain opiates
Other medicines of common use will have to bear
the poison label because they contain such elements
arsenic digtas chloroform and the like 1t is under
stood that preparations containing only minute guam
titles of poisonous stuff will escape the label If the
law is enforced to the letter the requirement will be
quite sweeping

OLD MISSION FOR

TO SAVE HISTORIC CHURCH

The historic Purisima mission a few
miles north of Lompoc, Santa Barbara
county, will soon be the property of
the Landmarks club, Of which Librar-
ian Charles F.. Lummis Is the president
Originally a Franciscan mission this
old church was first secularized and
then, with the ground upon which It
Stood sold and resold until 1t became
the property of the Union Oil company
some time ago.
Lyman Stewart president of this
company, has rendered the mission
with a plot of ground surrounding it
to the Landmarks club as a gift. The
gift has been accepted and as soon as
the executive committee of the club
can 60 to the site of the mission and
decide on how much ground will pe
needed the deeds will be made out and
the property transferred to the club.

For nearly a century now this old
church edifice has stood the assaults of
the weather, and was one of the build
ings to Withstand the great Indian in
surrection at which time the redskins
made an effort to destroy all the mis-
sions. For many years now the an
cient building has been out of repair.
But for the Landmarks club and it's
president, Charles F. Lummis, Cali
fornia would not have a number of her
missiona, to which she points with
pride. The San Diego, San Juan Cap
ristrano, San Fernando and Pala mis-
sions would probably now be heaps of
ruins without form but for the work of
the club in repairing and strengthening
the old buildings. 1t Is the intention
of the club to repair and protect the
Purisima mission now that it has be-
come the property of the society.

A WORLDS PORT ASSURED

The people Of San Pedro and Of Los Angeles we'll
have good for jubance the developments
at the harbor city. Three men, who classed among
the most potent Of affairs in the United States,
linked together enterprises with the port
of San Pedro.
The names Of Hartman Huntington and Clark stand
for mighty achievements the people of this region Of
California very we'll know The three men are intimately
associated in great undertakings and the concentration
Of their interests at San Pedro indicates colossal
schme Of expansion and development
The granting of hfty-year lease of harbor frontage
to the Huntington syndicate that San Pedro is on
the verge of realizing its dream of great worlds har
bor The wharfage improvements provided for in the
lease call for large expenditure of money. This
project taken in connection with the work in prog.
by the Salt Lake and Southern Pacific companies,
leaves for doubt about the plans of the three
great railway magnates.
e. H. Hartman and Senator Clark are the leading
factors, equal terms in the ownership and control
of the Salt Lake railway. Huntington and Hartman
in the relation the Pacific Electric system,
and Hartman of is the Southern Pacific These
three men, representing the great railway systems termi
mating San Pedro planning to extend the sphere OF
their enterprise upon the Pacific ocean There can be
no further question that point. San Pedro is the
coming gateway for a large percentage Of commercial
business between the United States and the orient and
likewise between Pacific ports and the ports OF
Mexico, Central and South America.
Since the beginning of the Pedro harbor improve
ments by the federal there never has been
any doubt that the port would ultimately be one of
great commercial Importance. The developments now
under consideration give that time will be
lost reaching that consummation. San Pedro will be
a worlds harbor and terminus for transpacifc and
coaswse steamship lines by the time the government
completes its harbor work. That is just what these
developments foreshadow.
San Pedro may we'll be glad 1t has had such
cause for rejoicing since the government first deter
mined to fit it's harbor for the worlds
