A MODERN BUSINESS NECESSITY

The Southern Pacific Railway company, as reported
from San Francisco is about to expend large sum of
money in acquanting eastern people with the attrac-
tions of the coast railway route between Los Angeles
and Portland The to be set aside for that pur-
pose is said to be 100000.
1t will be expended in eastern newspapers and maga-
zines for which have been made already for
publication to begin next November Illustrated articles
will be published, planned telling of the features of
the rail Journey along the from Los Angeles by
way of Santa Barbara and up the siskyous to
Oregon's metropolis"
In adopting this policy the Southern Pacific COM
pany is following example that the progressive
eastern railways have found to be very servceable
within the last few years Railway managers in the
east have been taking lessons, in fact from large
vertisers in mercantile and other business lines The
railway have learned the familiar maxim that at
pays to advertise good thing"
Having learned the lesson they have demonstrated
its value by practice. Even dozen years ago general
railway advertisement in publication rarely seen
Now such advertisements cover pages in all prom-
magazines found literally distributed in
the newspapers.
The railway companies especially interested in
the settlement and development of all stretches of
country contiguous to their routes In order to attract
homeseekers to districts raversed by their lines the
most effective method is that which has proved sue
cessul in other business fields. The attractions and
inducements offered by the advertising of big store
excite interest and bring customers Railway managers
have found that by exploiting the advantages offered
homeseekers along their lines they obtain similar
suits.
In adopting this policy Of extensive advertising the
railway managers merely prohting by the example
Of progressive business in all other lines Of busy
activity.

HUNTINGToNs GREATER EXPANSION

The announcement In yesterdays Herald Of
line of expansion in Henry E. Huntingons enterprises
made fitting supplement to the revelation from the
water department The water commissioners have
the first step in making provision in their depart
ment for a Los Angeles with 100000 population. The
new Huntington enterprise disclosed at San Pedro
adds greatly to the that the promise of
city Of 100000 is chimera
The probability of the reports from San Pedro is
not doubted view of indications that have been
ticed for several months. There never has been any
question the minds of discerning observers that
transpacifc steamship ne with the port Of San Pedro
as a terminus would be established completion OF
the harbor improvement that port. There has been
no doubt that steamship line would be controlled
by the railway interests having termin at San Pedro
Those interests represented at the top by e. H.
Hartman Senator Clark Of the steam railway SER
vice. and by H. Huntington of the interurban electric
service who also is associated with Mr. Hartman as
vice president of the Southern Pacific railway.
The application of Mr.. Huntington's representative
for long lease Of harbor frontage at San Pedro is
directly in line with the assumption of a projected
steamship line the Pacific. Both the Southern
Pacific and the Salt Lake company already have exten-
sive holdings of such frontage These sagacious mana
gers are building future however and they fore
see the time when there will be need of all attanabe
harbor privileges at the new worlds port
The announcement that Mr.. Huntington has pur-
chased Catalina island is in conflict with recent
phatc denias. That counts for nothing, however,
the deal may have just been consummated In any
case the facts in trade Of such magnitude would be
hidden until the final act of the transaction.
Catalina island will be- many years, all-year
resort that will attract pleasure seekers from all parts
Of the United States. No is better qualified than
H. E. Huntington to gauge it's possibilities and none
is better fitted than he to develop them.

FROM ONE POCKET TO ANOTHER

In considering the cost of the greater water supply
plant should be remembered that most Of the money
will be paid out of Los Angeles pocket into another
The labor, materials and supplies generally will be
furnished from this city AS fast as money is paid out
for construction purposes in any line It will flow back
to this heart of the enterprise.
The millions of dollars to be expended in the
ress Of the work will go out Of the city treasury and
back into the avenues Of business The cash tide
that ebbs northward will flow back southwark to the
starting point.
The construction Of the canal will give employ
ment to thousands of Skilled and unshlled labor
ers administrative employees and others connected with
the work In various capacities Will together number
a small army. And there will be large incidental
force Of supply purveyors furnish things needu for
the army on the aqueduct line.
The work OF constructing the greater water system
will stimulate business activity in Los Angeles 1t will
increased demand for labor here as conse-
quence Of the drain from the work There will be
an influx of homeseekers from abroad, attracted hther
by the prospect of employment either directly or col
lateraly in connection with that work
broader advantage to Los Angeles, which all cit-
appreciate is the influence that will be exerted
abroad by the greater water project Already the
of the deal which startled this community few days
ago has been flashed to every city and considerable
town in the United States The leading features OF the
deal have been printed in every daily newspaper And
every thoughtful reader has marveed at this latest
characteristic stroke of progress by that wonderful
city on the western edge of the continent
All this will tend to bring Los Angeles more promi-
neny than into the view of the of millions
of people beyond the mountain ranges People abroad
will want to know more about the great city Of the west
of which they already have heard much And the
result will be that the exodus from the east toward
the western wonder will swell in volume to greater pro-
portions than before.

fully n mile from the station, perhaps
more hut had invaded the salt
mines and had driven the workmen
out. On reaching Los Angeles 1 called
at The Herald, as was my wont, and
renorted this matter to Otheman A.
Stevens. the then city editor. A prop
er story was made, and then or in
few days following it was claimed as
a new discovery and called Herald
lake. A short time after when it was
apprehensive that troublesome conse-
uuences might arise from that freak
lake, The Herald dropped the appela-
ton and called it Salton sea. That is
the name now, the great basin being
again flooded and much more than be-
fore.
On my next and subsequent trips the
water had reached within 150 or 200
yards of the railroad, but no damage
had been done anywhere, except to
the salt mining operations. The In
dams employedNaround the salt works
had promptly left for high ground
around White Water.
Wrote 1t Up
B. A. Stephens, a newspaper writer,
went down to the desert in August in
the interest of The Herald to write up
what could be learned about the un-
usual phenomenon, and other writers
followed.
The lake was no mean body of water,
being about fifteen miles wide by
about seventy-five miles long and of
varying depth. The great heat over all
the desert caused tremendous evap-
grafton, about an eighth of an inch a
day, and the sun seemed to draw"
the water in lines which could be dis
tinctly traced for hundreds of feet in
the air, finally assuming the shape of
a waterspout at sea. A number of
these incipient waterspouts could be
day. When they all merged together,
a uniform occurrence, they would drift
with upper air currents off over the
mountains and spill their accumulated
volume miles away.
A number of these aerial reservoirs
sailed out over Redlands, where ad-
verse currents of air were reached, and
they burst over that devoted little city,
doing great deal of damage in an
out-of-season period, causing after
ward huge storm drains to be built
to guard against like results from an
other inundation of the desert sink. A
force in other mountainous regions,
one or two even getting as far as the
Tehachepi, bursting and doing some
damage to the railroad there. When
the waters disappeared the salt works
resumed operations.
The present filling of the desert
seems to come from other causes and
threatens some perhaps severe trouble,
and the area covered is far greater
than that involved in 1891. The re-
markably low temperature for the
average of the season so far is a bar
to rapid evaporation, and will no
doubt avert the serious cloudbursts of
the former food.
This Immense sink, as we'll as a
greater part of what Is known as the
Colorado desert, was once a part of
the gulf of California. I have cup
of marine shells 1 picked up in this
below sea level basin. The washings
from the Colorado canyons furnished
the sediment and together with the
fierece winds from the gulf piled up
the dunes until the barrier shut out
the salt water and the basin dried up
