A THOUGHTFUL SUGGESTION

Mr. Henry Z Huntington is entitled
to the grateful appreciation of all Cal
ifornia for his suggestion that a fund
be raised TO help the professional men
of San Francisco who have lost every
thing in the great disaster. His own
princely contribution of 100000 to such
a fund is the best evidence he could
have given that he meant every word
of the suggestion, and that it came
from his heart.
Everybody has thought of the poor.
Everybody has sympathized with the
mechanic, the laborer and the store
keeper. And even the professional
man has received his full share of
the food and shelter to which so many
thousands have contributed. But the
mechanic, the laborer and the store
keeper will have immediate re-em-
ployment and business and will soon
again have money.
Not so with the professional man.
His library is gone. His clients OF
patients-as the case may behave
peeH scdttereu anu ne is telhpolalhJ
helpless as well as homeless. No
body ever thinks to help him, because
he is presumed to be we'll equipped to
help himself, as eventually he will
but little assistance right now would
save him years of distress and toll
This is the point which Mr.. Hunt
ington generously makes and to which
he has most generously subscribed.
In prompt seconding Of Mr.. Hunt
ington's suggestion and contribution
General Sherman and e. P. Clark have
given $4,000. A few more such acts
of kindness and fund will be i'm
mediately raised that will accomplish a
great and good purpose.

THE QUARTER MILLION MARK

Next Christmas morning Los Angeles
will find in it's stocking a recognition
of the fact that it has grown to be a
city having a population of 250,0o0 The
round quarter million figures-and
going on" as the tot says in telling
it's age-will represent the number of
residents in the present leading city of
the Pacific coast.
The school census of Los Angeles for
the current year, which will be COM
pleted this week, is expected to indi-
cate total population of at least 2S1,-
900. That is the estimate of the census
marshal, although several days will
elapse before the tabulation of the
figures is finished. This estimate shows
an increase of about 200 as compared
with the estimate based on the enumer-
alton made by the publishers of the
city directory. The two estimates tally
very closely, however, considering the
fact that the school census is several
weeks later than the directory figures
and that the population is increasing
at the average rate of more than 20OC
month.
The school census of last year In
dicated population of 2O1,664. De-
Quoting that from the estimate for this
year, we have an increase of over 29,
600. With this basis for future calcu-
lation the normal increase would bring
the total to the quarter million mark
before Christmas. But in view Of the
certainty that thousands of San Fran
cisco people will become permanent resi-
dents of Los Angeles meantime, it is
probable that the city will be in the
quarter million class long before ii
hangs up it's Christmas stocking.

Eastern Capitalists Are Believed to Be
Behind Project
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press
PHOENIX, Ariz., April 27.-Articles
of Incorporation vert filed here today
Of the Washington e. Alaska Transcon-
tinental Railroad company. The capi-
tai stock is $1O0,OOO,0OO. The articles
thus describe the proposed line of con-
struction:
From Nome City northwesterly to
Cape Prince of Wales for northern
division. From Nome City northeast
erly to Council City, thence easterly to
Koyuk on Norton bay, thence south
easterly up Yukon and crossing it to
Tenant river, thence south to White
Pass, crossing portion of the Dominion
of Canada to Skagway and Juneau,
thence crossing Stikene to Vancouver,
total approximate distance being 1000
miles.
The articles were filed by local cor
poration company, using mostly local
reputable names for so-called dummy
incorporators whose interests will be
transferred to eastern capitalists, the
identity of whom is not yet disclosed.
The project is believed to be that of
American-Asiatic railway that has been
talked of seriously during the last year.

CANES IN FASHION AGAIN

Canes, or walking sticks, are coming
back into fashion, after some thirty
five years of retirement. An old resi-
dent of Murray Hill has a collection of
over 450 canes. He has been nearly a
lifetime in gathering together what is
in all probability the rareSt assort-
ment in the universe. The quaintest
stick in the lot is made of Arizona
cactus. 1t is 1-2 inches in diameter
at the top, an inch and a quarter at
the ferrule, and weighs only a pound
and a half 1t resembles an openwork
stocking, being hollow and pierced
with a thousand holes. Another Gu
rious cane is made of the tail of a
stinging ray, or devil fish. Its COM
panion is a sharks backbone.
Several New Workers carry night and
day canes made of steel rods piercing
leather washers which have been
bonded securely with glue and turned
down in a lathe, then beautifully pol
ished. Such a cane is a terrible wea-
pom of offenSe or defense. There are
rifle canes and sword canes, cork canes,
paper canes and canes of rubber. Pass
ing along Maiden lane one day some
twenty years ago one saw in a cane
shop wonderful piece of wood, four
feet long and three inches thick. 1t
was covered with bright yellow spots
Ine size OL plllleduS, pldCSu WIFI great
regularity. Thte dealer was unable to
tell what the wood was. A sailor from
Patagonia had brought it to him two
years before to have a cane made of
it, and without giving instructions
went away, never to come back.
"The sailor must be dead" said the
dealer. "At any rate, have kept the
wood long enough to feel that 1t be-
longs to me. Want to buy it?"'
'I do. Turn it down to the proper
size, and if the yellow spots remain it
is mine at your own price"
He took the chance and won. The
spots were the same all through, and
there was about the handsomest walk
ing stick ever made, A buckhorn ham
die was put on. Hundreds of men have
examined the wood, yet no one ever
saw anything like it before. The sailor
has not been heard from to this day.

ent era. The gaming habit was so
general and the amount of money so
great that cheating did not pay. If q
man was suspected of having used
foul cards Or "snap" roulette wheel
it meant such a loss OF patronage that
he could not afford to risk 1t. The
consequence was that Stephen b.
whipple (and his two brothers,. Col.
Jack Gambill, r. J. Chambers. James
Johnson, Norman Hewlett and dozen
others amassed very neat fortunes as
long as gambling was licensed. But
when the law of 1856 went into force,
making it penitentiary offense to
deal any banking game, they all en-
barked in mercantile pursuits and, in
nearly every instance, lost their
money.
| sit down now and think of all the
friends that have preceded me over

trees. There are portraits on the wall
which look down upon me so sadly.

friend: and the room seems filled with
whispers from the lips that once
cleaned with the glow of ruddy life,
but now have grown mute and cold.

Eastern newspapers are beginning to
regard Mr.. Bryan as a conservative
Democrat. The Brooklyn Citizen says:
"To correct the abuses of privilege with
out sacrificing the fundamental basis
of society, the right of property, is the
whole of the Bryan creed" The Spring
field Republican says: 1.-THE change
is in the country and not in Bryan"
The Washington Post says: "That Mr..
Bryan is growing in favor with Dem
ocrats is an indication of the i'm
mensity of the change in public senti-
ment during the past year." The New
York Post says: IF Mr.. Bryan is again
nominated for the presidency-and
especially If he is elected to that Of
fice-it will be because he is the choice
of the worlSingman and farmers and
planters of the west and south, and not
because he is patronized by rich Dem
ocrats in New York" These quotations
show marvellous change in the estI-
mate Of Mr.. Bryan, a change which
seems to indicate his nomination, with
the possibility Of his election.

PORT OF SAN PEDRO

The significant report is noticed that
agents of northern coastwise steam
ship companies are investigating the
possibility of coaling and taking other
supplies at San Pedro pending recon
struction of facilities at San Francisco.
1t is said, also, that 1.-THE steamships
Of the Oceanic company probably will
be ordered to coal and provision at
the Spreckels wharves at San Diego,
at least for the time being"
These reports may be accepted as
evidence that considerable time must
ensue before adequate shipping facil-
tiles are afforded at San Francisco.
1t is evident, also, that If the San
Pedro harbor improvements were COM
pleted now a large share of the north
ern city's shipping trade would be di-
verted to our port.
San Pedro is not yet a port capable
of accommodating the larger class Of
vessels, but the near approach to Its
completion will attract attention Of
ship owners who are looking to the
future. In taking economic conditions
into account, sagacious men will note
the fact that San Pedro offers greater
advantages than San Francisco as a
commercial entrepot because Of SUI
perior transcontinental railway facil-
tiles. Three trunk railways have ter
mini at San Pedro, each of them hav-
ing a much shorter route, with easier
grades, than are offered by the lines
terminating at San Francisco.
But notwithstanding the drawback
caused by the incompleteness of San
Pedro harbor a great stimulus to the
shipping business at that port is as
sured. All the lighter class of steam
ships and other craft can ship and
discharge cargo there as conveniently
as they have been wont to do at San
Francisco. 1t may be assumed, there
fore, that both Los Angeles and its
port now will experience a vast in
crease In commercial trade. And,
having once grasped that trade, there
is not much doubt about the hold be-
ing permanent.

date steps to arrange for all-night
cars during that week anyhow.
Then the lighting systems on Main
and Hill streets should be rushed to
completion. These were promised for
May 4 certainly the two weeks delay
ought to enable the light company to
have every lamp in working order. The
little scheme of $40 per lamp for rush
work is now wholly needless; two
weeks is quite sufficient time for all
the labor yet to be done If the COM
panies will "get busy"
The street department should also
send gangs out to patch all the holes
in the downtown streets, fix all the
breaks in the sidewalks and curbs and
make all merchants put their shop
fronts in flrst-class condition. Los An
geles will be ON parade Fiesta week,
and everything must be in fine shape
for the hordes of visitors.
1t would be well, also, for a COM
mittee to ask householders to hold a
general sprucing up of their premises.
Clean front and rear yards, well
swept sidewalks, neatly trimmed flower
gardens, all these would make doubly
attractive an already charming city.
These are a few of the things that
Los Angeles should do ere her visitors
come. The time to start on them is
right now. Get busy!
