Los Angeles herald., 1906-05-22
SAN PEDRO'S ORIENTAL TOUCH

The discharge at San Pedro of the
first steamship consignment directly
from the orient will be an ever mem
orable event in the history of the port.
The name OF the vessel that first puts
San Pedro in touch with the orient is
in itself suggestive. San Pedro and its
Los Angeles hacker had to fight about
that in some respects was almost equal
to the twelve superhuman feats that
Hercules achieved as a condition of mis-
Immortality.
Next to the sentimental interest con-
nected with the arrival of Hercules,
carrying the first oriental cargo to San
Pedro, is the consideration of practical
results, The coming of big steamships
to that port is a familiar spectacle.
Vessels laden with steel rails, cement
and other supplies purchased in Europe
frequently reach San Pedro after hav-
ing crossed the Atlantic, rounded Cape
Horn and Voyaged up the western coast
of the three Americas.
An important question, now likely to
be settled in the near future, is whether
San Pedro offers any economic ad-
vantages over other ports on this coast
as an entrepot for traffic between the
orient and the eastern part of the
United States. The local business of the
Pacific states with oriental countries
will grow rapidly, but for many years
it will be small in comparison with the
trade that passes through these states
to and from the great Industrial centers
of the east.
Can the transcontinental traffic, with
its Pacific steamship continuation, pe
diverted, to any considerable extent
from the northern ports to San Pedro
That is the question whose solution viii
be anxiously awaited.
When the local harbor is completed
it will offer shipping facilities equal tC
any other Pacific port. Then comes the
test to show whether the shorter rail
way haul, easier grades and straightel
lines of the railwa- connecting with
San Pedro will not show substantial ad,
vantages as compared with lines ter.
mnating at northern ports.
1t is difficult TO see how the test car
fail to prove favorable to the port o
San Pedro.

LONG BEACH DEMURS

It is not necessary for citizens of
Long Beach to protest against the Los
Angeles consolidation project. 1t is
optional with that pretty city by the
sea to accept the attentions of the me-
tropolis frankly. TO play coquette or to
give the "cut direct" No suitor, wheth-
er Individual or municipal, should have
the temerity to push a conquest that
is distasteful to the party of the sec
ond part.
The protest signed by a number of
prominent Long Beach citizens, relative
to the matter of consolidation, gives no
idea of the proportion of citizens that
would indorse it by vote. Possibly
the protest does not represent the
views of a majority of the people Of
Long Beach. Sometimes it happens
that the leaders in a movement pur-
porting to be popular are really with
out any considerable following.
But assuming that the people Of Long
Beach generally are opposed to the
consolidation, 1t Is timely to assure
them and the people of all other cities
and towns within the scope of the con-
solidation project that they need have
no apprehension whatever Of being

zEsRAs AS STREET CAR MACS

zebra drawn tramcar on the streets
of the metropolis Is a sight that is prob
ably never destined to be witnessed
even by the Londoner of the most re-
mote future. Yet 1t is interesting to
learn that quite recently Lord Howard
de Walden, the well known London
landlord, who is a partner in a zebra
farm near the Athi river in Uganda
received an order for the supply of
forty of these beautiful animals for the
tramway service at Zanzibar. Unfortun-
ately, owing to circumstances over
which he had no control, the order
could not be executed at the moment
but the many advantages which zebrls
possess over the ordinary mules will
doubtless lead to their being employed
for this purpose in the sultan's capital
before long. In the first place they
stand the climate better. they are al
together stronger and free from sick
ness, and, what is of more importance
than anything else, are absolutely proof
against the attacks of the tsetse fly.
Lord Howard de Walden's farm, which
covers an area of between 10000 and
10000 acres, is laid out in exact imita-
tion of the natural surroundings of the
zebra, as many as 500 of which have
been under control at one time. The one
disadvantage, however, which initiates
against their successful rearing in these
huge compounds is the dust, which in
juriously affects their lungs.-London
Tribune.
