WORLDS CHEAPEST FUEL

"A reliable sign of the rapid expan-
sion of manufacturing industries in
Los Angeles is seen in the largely in
the last year. That increase has
caused greater activity in production,
but the output seems not to have been
enlarged in keeping with the greater
demand. The doubling of the price
per barrel within year proves that
proposition. At this period a year ago
oil was selling in the Los Angeles
market at from 80 to 35 cents barrel
in bulk, and the present price is from
go to 70 cents, with strong indications
that it will reach 81 before next spring.
But even at the dollar mark the
home oil product affords cheaper fuel
for manufacturing purposes than is
obtainable probably in any other large
city in the United States. In figuring
the cost of fuel for power purposes
the common estimate, or belief, is that
three barrels of our local crude oil is
equivalent to a ton of coal. Even in
the most favored manufacturing cities
of the east it is doubtful If coal is
obtainable at so low figure as SO
a ton. At the present quotations in
this city the oil equivalent of ton of
coal costs only about 80.
Practically all of the manufacturing
industries of this city are operated
with oil for power generating purposes.
Comparatively little coal is used in
Los Angeles for any purpose aside
from the heating of dwelling houses.
Wherever considerable heat is re-
quired, as in hotels, office buildings
and big stores, oil is the fuel used.
The advance in oil prices does not,
by any means, indicate decrease in
the available, natural supply. The
quantity heretofore marketed has been
dependent on the demand, and when
that was light there was no profit in
large production. At the present time
wells that long were idle are again in
operation, and many new ones are sure
to be brought in" as the oil men say,
The area of oil deposits in this Sec
tion of the state is so large that the
natural supply is practically inexhaust-
ible Only a comparatively small por-
tion OF the state is so large that the
known to geologsts, has been ex-
plotted. operations being confined gen.
orally to points easily accessible by
railway.

OLD CAR DELAYS TRAFFIC

The entire Hollywood and Colegrove
car systems were tied up almost an
hour just at the busiest time, about
5 o'clock, last night because one of
the dinky little double-end arks which
the Los Angeles-Pacific company per-
sists in running on this line could not
climb the Bellevue avenue hill west
of Buena Vista street. The car, which
Is almost as old as the system, only
had few passengers, but the tracks
were wet and it baked as soon as 1t
began the ascent. After much hauling
and building mail car was run out
and pushed it up.
But no sooner was 1t started west
than it struck another slight grade,
and in trying to pull up this burned
out one of it's two motors. This put 1t
out of commission again and another
long delay ensued. Finally the mail
car was attached again and the de-
crepit old car was pushed out to Hol-
lywood. Passengers on half a dozen
or more cars were delayed and the mall
was held more than half an hour.
A westbound Hollywood car ran into
and utterly demolished a wagon be-
longing to the Excelsior laundry in
Hollywood near the city limits
about noon yesterday. TIE wagon was
a total wreck, and laundry was scat
tered all over that part of the map,
but strange to say neither horse nor
driver was hurt.
The accident seemingly was the fault
of the driver. He turned his horse
directly in front of the fast approach
ing car, 1t is reported, and the mo-
torman was unable to do more than
check the car before the smash came.

THIRTY MILES OF BUILDING

total of thirty miles of building
frontage will be the extraordinary
record of Los Angeles for the present
year. That will be a feature of the
building superintendent annual re-
port, now in preparation. 1t not only
dwarfs all previous records for this
city, but it probably has no parallel in
any city at any period of the worlds
history.
And this marvellous record has been
made in the face of what would be re-
garded elsewhere as two serious OBJ
stacIes, one material and the other sem
timental. An example of the first kind
is seen in the comparative decrease in
building permits for homes, as disclosed
in the last two monthly statements of
the superintendent of buildings. That
decrease is attributable solely to the
extortionate marking up of prices by
the lumber trust.
The other obstacle alluded to was the
carry erect or the calamity at San
Francisco and its neighborhood. There
was a degree of uncertainty about its
influence on realty values. even at the
distance OF 500 miles which separates
Los Angeles from the northern city.
The momentum Of progress in this city
was too powerful, however to be more
than temporarily checked by that dis
aster.
Notwithstanding the recent drawback
iI building caused by the outrageous
advance in lumber prices, the record
for last month passes the million mark
by a good margin. The shortage in
aggregate value caused by the smaller
number of permits. consequent upon
increased expense OF home building, Is
nearly equalized by the great activity
in the erection of business structures.
This feature is especially noticeable in
the many costly impr' aments on the
leading retail thoroughfares.
The building outlook as we approach
the new year, never before looked SO
bright. Capitalists are preparing for
vast expansion i'm business Improve
ments OF all kinds. without regard to

MAYOR HARPER

Incomplete returns from yesterdays
municipal election Indicate that Ar
thur c. Harper has been chosen mayor
Of Los Angeles.
In this result The Herald finds no
occasion for regret, except the fact
of the temporary defeat of the nom
partisan principle, which ultimately
must prevail in the administration of
city governments.
Mr. Harper is Democrat, and The
Herald as a Democratic newspaper,
congratulates him upon his splendid
victory.
Believing in the non-partlsan prin-
ciple, The Herald advocated the cleo
tion Of Lee c. Gates, the we'll chosen
representative Of that principle, but
inasmuch as Mr.. Gates-after a cam
paign that was honestly and brilliantly
conducted-was to be defeated, The
Herald is glad that the man who beat
him is a Democrat in every way
worthy of the honor.
Moreover, The Herald believes in the
expressed will of the people. The cleo
tion Of yesterday, while a partial VIC
tory for political partisanship, is still
a partial victory for -partisanship.
Hence The Herald has double cause to
make merry and be glad.

JAPANESE AND THE SCHOOLS

In his message to congress President
Roosevelt has devoted considerable
space to the question raised in San
Francisco as to the right of the school
board to refuse admission of Japanese
to the public schools.
The question is an important one,
but the president can see but one side
to it, which is that no state or city
has the power to make or enforce any
law that will be in contravention of
treaty rights with favored nations.
Every lawyer will concede that much.
Japan is a favored nation and our
treaty with her requires us to grant to
Japanese in this country all the rights
Of residence" which citizens of the
United States enjoy.
But what is a fright of residence?"
Does it include free education at the
expense of citizens? That's the ques-
tion which must be determined.
In the southern states, for instance,
negroes are refused admission to the
white public schools, but instead build
ings are erected for them, teachers are
employed for their education and they
are given equal advantages in their
own schools. The president has not
found any law that will prevent this
arrangement. And yet these negroes
are native Americans and are guaran-
teed by the constitution all the rights
of white citizens. In fact, nobody has
made objection to it; on the contrary
it is everywhere regarded as the
proper solution of a difficult question
In San Francisco, as we understand
it, the right to a free education ha:
