CURBING LIQUOR TRAFFIC

A minor result of the recent election
IL especially pleasing to all people Of
Los Angeles county who have the best
interests of the community at heart
This relates to the quite general yer.
dict of voters dwelling In the districts
outside Of Incorporated towns against
the liquor saloon business. In the total
Of fifty-f1ve such districts only fifteen
voted in favor Of liquor selling licenses,
and those fifteen are chiefly remote,
having comparatively small popula-
tions.
The result thus indicated is the most
distinct and most gratifying victory
for the temperance cause we believe,
ever achieved in Los Angeles county
1t is particularly gratifying to the
reputable people of this city because
the non-llcenslng proposition prevailed
in a district adjoining Los Angeles in
which certain notorious road houses
are situated In view of the Infamous
character of these road houses, they
might appropriately be called pest
houses, situated on the road to ruin.
1t really is splendid headway that
Los Angeles county is making toward
a check upon the indiscriminate liquor
traffic. The saloon business has been
eliminated in most of the cities, towns
and country districts. In Los Angeles
the complete eradication of the saloon
is not feasible, in view of the metro
politan character of the city, but the
rein of restraint upon the traffic is
gradually tightening.
1t is an interesting coincidence that
just at the time when so large a pro
portion of the country districts were
voting down the license proposition,
the authorities of this city were CIV
ing the saloons another turn of the
thumb-screw. The cost of licenses per
month was marked up % per cent, the
advance yielding to the city treasury
an increase equal to 100000 a year.
And an important incidental gain
should be noted in the discovery that
the license mark-up affords a ready
means Of providing funds for increas-
ing the efficiency of the police service.
The strides thus made in the direc-
tion of restraining the liquor traffic in
this city and county will have a salu-
tary effect among eastern people who
are considering the question of home
seeking in this section. Los Angeles
already is distinguished abroad for
having smaller number of saloons
per capita than any other large Amer
lean city, and particularly for its in
flexible purpose not to permit an in
crease in the arbitrary number that
was fixed when the city's population
was less than one-third of what it is
at the present time.

crowded together and reached the river
in dense, struggling mass. They
plunged in, climbing over each other,
and piling up until it looked as if we
might lose them all. We, of course,
plunged after them, towing, dragging
and throwing the sheep out of the river
until ever man was exhaused. When
we got the flock out of the tangle we
found that at least 800 lambs had been
drowned. I sent my foreman to warn
the other outfits to hold their flocks at
safe distance from the river and
bring on one band at time.
"Of course we had to replenish our
stores occasionally, and our cook would
go across country to some town near us
when we needed something. Our prin-
cipal fare was bread, bacon and gravy.
Bread was baked every day in the camp
kettle and l can assure you 1T takes a
considerable quantity to feed nineteen
hungry men. 1t might be supposed that
we had mutton for dinner sometimes.
but we did not, though had 10000
sheep in front of us. Very few sheep
men will eat mutton. myself would
have to be very hungry indeed to
eat it.
I'VE followed no roads, but struck out
across open country wherever forage
was good. At night we always tried to
find hillside for the camp. Sheep have
a great many peculiar notions, and will
only lie down quietly on hillside. We
made only about eight miles a day, as
we gave the sheep plenty of time to

Los Angeles reaches to the door Of
San Pedro this morning, and one short
step more will make Los Angeles a sea-
port.
The vote for annexation was de-
clslvely IN the Affirmative, both in the
city and along the territory annexed
with one exception, namely, the town
Of Gardena, which had been wrongly
advised that there would be trouble
over the public schools. Needless to
say. every arrangement will be made to
accommodate the people Of the annexed
territory with every public facility now
afforded Pico Heights or any other
portion OF Los Angeles. There will be
no discrimination, and there is no
reason why the high schools should
not be equally open TO every child
within the city limits. All these details
are capable Of rapid adjustment. and
II the people Of Gardena had made
their objections known sooner they
could have been shown and satisfied,
as they viii yet be.
Ascot Park Is now within the city
limits and VIII come under the provis-
ions of the existing law prohibiting
pool selling-the same law that caused
the removal Of racing from Agricul-
tural park to Ascot. Whether annexa-
tion will stop the coming Ascot season
depends upon the city council, and the
date of its ordinance establishing the
new territory as a portion of Los An
geles.
Altogether, the territory added yes
terday to the boundaries Of the city is
gigantic stride toward the sea. We
are now next door neighbor to the
great San Pedro harbor, and in posi-
ton to receive the city of San Pedro
as an integral part of the city of Los
Angeles. The union of the twin cities

at length it was all gone. For two
whole days, in intense July heat, we

thought how good a cold drink would
