Los Angeles First Ports
Written for The Herald by COL Joseph D, Lynch

did not live to see the aureola that
hangs above Wilmington and San
Pedro today.
In 1874 the country lying to the west
ward of Los Angeles was simply COM
posed of cattle and sheep ranches.
There were Il few ranch houses-and
very few-like those of cX-Sheriff Don
MateO Sanchez at the Cienega, one or
two in the Ballona country and per-
haps another stray 'dobe between the
Angelic city and Santa Monica. The
Sanchez household was the only one
which had any pretensions to home
comforts. viii Toll kept place on
the Ballona lake, where one might, on
occasion, strike a small birl and a cold
bottle.
The late Col. r.. ). Baker owned at
that time some $4,000 acres of land
called the Rancho San Vicente Santa
Monica, ON which there was a small
ranch house. a little to the west of the
Soldiers Home. which was occupied
by Cy Lyons. the colonel's major dOmo.
On this ample domain, which spread
down to the ocean, forty or fifty thou
sand sheep usually ranged in good
years.
About this time Senator John p.
Jones of Nevada had made the tllteen
million dollars or so which accrued to
him from the exploitation Of the Bel
cher-CrOWn Point bonanza, and was
engaged, as Silver TOngUed Tom Fitch
would say, in blowing it in after Il
magnificent and unprecedented fashion.
l may say that he is at present so
joUrning at his splendid palace, Mira
mar, which he erected at Santa Monica
nearly thirty years ago, and which sup
plements his residence at Gold Hill
near the Rhode mill of the Crown
Point mine, whose shaft lies directly
across the street.
Before going on with my story it
may be as well to say that of John ?.
Jones thirty years of splendid service
in the senate of the United States Los
Angeles is entitled to claim half. His
house at Santa Monica is a far more
splendid edifice than that at Gold Hill
While an Angeleno could claim his ser

the tank and began to prance around
the crowd, soaring the women and
making all the animals nervous. He
stood on his head and beloved, and all
the circus hands came rushing up.
Finally the alarm clock quit jingling,
and they caught the seal and pulled
the clock off his TOOTH and just then
pa came up to me and said: what
deviltry you boys up to now? Suppose
that seal had swallo- ed that clock,
and you couldn't wind it up; it might
kill him. Now, go to the car cause
we are going to get out of this town
right off. You make me tired.' And
pa helped to lift the slippery seal into
the tank, and looked mad at his little
boy, and hurt the feelings of the sena-
tors boy.

Said the pug dog to the parrot, "Have

These naughty human beings have be-

II have heard the matter mentioned,

were looking at the fiat.

AT last these humans see-and it pro-

~ ulation of Railway Rates." by
Hugo r. Meyer, assistant professor of
political economy at University of
Chicago. While many will not agree
with the author. his views are entitled
to respectful consideration because they
are the result of much study and wide
inquiry. He has investigated the sub
ject of government ownership in Aus
tralia, following it up by a study of the
whole or partial control by government
and regulation of rates in European
countries. That Prof. Meyers conclu-
sions will provoke criticism may be
seen when his own words are quoted;
"Whatever evils now exist in the man
agement of railways none of them is
at all commensurate with the harm
which must result from bestoWng the
power to fix railway rates upon the
nsterstate commerce commission"
