SAN PEDRO SHlPBUILDING

The nucleus of a dock and warehouse
company has been formed at San Pedro
which may materialize in an enterprise
of great Importance to the port. Tt is
intimated that the company, which is
to be capitalized at $3,00O,O0O will make
shipbullding one of its features. This
announcement calls attention, at least,
to an adjunct of the harbor's business
that is sure to become important at an
early period.
San Pedro is favorably situated for
shipbuilding and start in production
of the lighter class of craft should soon
be profitable. There is at present no
shipbuilding point anywhere on the
Pacific coast of the three Americas
south Of San Francisco The Spanish
Americans are not shipbuilders, de-
pending for vessels of any considerable
tonnage on foreign builders. San Pedro
therefore, is in a position to do a large
share OF ship construction for the whole
line of southern ports. Not until the
completion of the Panama canal will
Atlantic coast shipbulders be as well
situated for supplying c~-rt to South
American ports on the west side as such
builders would be at San Pedro.
1t is not too early, as hefore init
mated, to expand the present modest
vessel product of San Pedro to much
larger proportions. The opportunity for
profitable business in that line increases
with every day of approach to the time
when the work Of the greater harbor
will be completed,
No other seaport on the whole Pacific
coast line is so well equipped as Sar
Pedro with railway feeders, which is a
very important matter in the supply de-
partment of shipbuilding. Living ex.
penses there are as low, at least, al
they are at any other American port
and labor prices should correspond
Herewith The climate also adds TO the
advantages. as there are very few days
In the year when mechanics cannot
work comfortably in the open.
San Pedro evidently is destined to b,
a shipbuilding center I'm the years tC

Everybodys Magazine gravely an
nounees that Los Angeles has solved
the problem of municipal regulation of
these gambling hells''-meaning bucket

solved 1t is BY the same old eastern
method Of passing laws against them
and then allowing them to run wide
open, without interference Los An

solved or tried to solve the bucket shop

FASCINATION OF THE HARVEST

There is a fascination in the harvest
that weaves a, whisp of romance into
the sheaves that are bound up these
long, sun-flooded days in Kansas,
where the harvest of the earth is ripe
1t is not alone a selfish rejoicing in the
knowledge that a generous yield means
an absence of want that awakens the
universal interest in the sturdy army
now marching against the battalions of
bearded grain in the Sunf1ower state
and will move northward gradually as
the harvest of the earth ripens in
regions where the sun shines less ard
emily. There is something Unborn In
even the most urban of men that causes
him to feel a thrill of joy at the sight
of great wheat field waiting for the
sickle.
1t is not alone the hope of profit that
causes the student to hasten from the
books and the man to drop his accus-
toned vocation to join the busy toilers
in the fields. Many of those who arise
with the earliest lark and labor until
the long shadows are lost in the dusk
are not in pressing need Of the wages
they receive. They could find more
profitable employment in less arduous
work. There is some other cause that
sends them among strangers for sea-
son. There is a call of the harvest as
there is a call of the wild. The call of
the harvest was learned in the days
when Ruth the Moabitess. bound IN
the heart of Boaz in the sheaves she
CLEANED in the fields of the mighty man
OF the family of Elimelech. The vivid
imaginations of those early cleaners
Saw cause for wonder and speculation
in the annually recurring miracle of
the harvest. 1t is this lingering fas-
cination that draws men to the wheat
fields even I'm this utilitarlan age

Los Angeles welcomes the state Pro-

session today. The delegates will find
this city tolerant on the liquor ques-

who believe the sale of liquor should
be entirely prohibited. Prohibitionists
are usually earnest, intelligent, wide
awake citizens, and The Herald hopes
they will find in Los Angeles all that
their hearts desire-except prohibition.
