THE HOME OF THE HOLY GRAIL

The mystic shrine of Monsalvat, the
home of the Holy Grail, borne away
from human strife to that remote cor
ner of the world, long haunted the
medieval mind. AS the originally Gel
tic tale of Sir Percival slowly developed
in Germany Monsalvat became an es-
sential part of the legend; 1t was in
eVltable that when in modern times
that legend again energies in the crown
ing achievement of Wagner's genius,
the Grail is still preserved by a re-
ligious order at Monsalvat, in Gothic
Spain, not far from the land of the
Moslems.
The northerners who dreamed of
Monsalvat in their moments of feryent
devotion or romantic exaltation had
heard a rumor, but for the most part
they knew little or nothing of it's
kernel OF fact. Yet the rumor itself
is the most potent evidence OF the
worldwide fascination which the an
cient mountain shrine at Montserrat
eXerted over the Imagination Of men
Tor more than a thousand years, and,
indeed, still exerts even today 1t Is
in vain that one climbs the heights
or Montserrat with memories of Am
fortas and the pure fool When we
nave made our way up, beyond even
the shrine and the monastery, to the
great ravine which is said to have
rent the summit Of the mountain at
the moment of the crucifixion, and
when we have passed the fantastic
row of rocky pinnacles to which the
name Of Guardians of the Holy Grail''
has been assigned, we have seen all
that there is to connect the real Mont
serrat with the legendary Monsalvat.
Perhaps we should be we'll content that
SO sublime a symbol has long been
borne away to an invisible home, and
that the Holy Grail should have its
sole and immortal shrine in the human
gination.-Harper's.

cAPsHRAr OF APPRoVAL

Despite all the sinister commenti
from interested sources the owens rive
tour Of inspection Of Mayor Harper and
certain city councilmen meets the ap
probation Of all persons who have tn,
best interests OF the city at heart. TIL,
Idea Of the investigation was suggested
by the methodlca1 business ideas Of tn,
mayor, which have won the confidenc,
Of the community since he assumed tn,
executive office.
The journey OF the mayors party, al.
though strenuous and not alluring, wal
in consonance with the duties of the
] executive and legislative branches oi
the city government. The suggestion Of
a personal view of the situation by
those authorities was no reflection
whatever upon the oft repeated exami.
nations of the proposition by the city's
engineer, the eminent experts from
abroad and the prominent engineering
officials of the federal government.
The report of Mayor Harper and his
councilmanic associates in the journey
will constitute the capsheaf in the stack
of opinions concerning the practicability
Of the great water project. outgivlngs
already made public leave no question
about the character of the final report
A dispatch from the party, sent just
before the homeward start, says:
There is no difference of opinion
among the officials of the party; they
are all emphatic in unqualified approval
Of the project"
This conclusive act in assurance of
the entire feasibility Of the project
leaves nothing lacking preliminary to
the supply of funds and the formal be-
ginning of construction work. A good
deal of preparatory work has been done
already by the city water department,
but the official start in the great en-
essary funds are assured.
The date set for the popular vote to
authorize bonded Indebtedness to meet
the expense account is June IL. That
date will soon be here and it is i'm
portant to take vigorous measures at
once toward the polling of an excep-
tionally large vote, leading to the most
overwhelming affirmative majority ever
given in Los Angeles.
There is not the least cause for ap-
prehension about the carrying of the
proposition, with thousands OF votes to
spare, but that is not enough The
vote in favor of it should be practically
unanimous. 1t should show on the face
of the returns that the only opponents
of the project are the corporate inter-
ests that are looking covetously at the
immense electric power that the project
will make available, and for the acqui-
sition of which they would deprive Los
Angeles of it's future water supply.
The campaign for the water bond
election now has the right of way. All
true Angelenos will line up in support
of the proposition and all should be
alert to see that no city traitors are al
lowed to monkey with the track.

A TALE OF TWO LOVING CITIES

In Tacoma II is difieult 10 get any
one to admit that Seattle has harbor
at all. During the few hours that we
spent there as banquetees / happened
casually to mention the matter OF har-
bors. The Tacoma man smiled-sadly
tolerantly, as he might at a foolish
child.

presume you are aware that a ship Is
about as safe In the harbor OF Seattle
as she would be In Hell Gate. DO you
ever read the papers?" He still re-
garded me with the same sad smile.

If in return for proposed railway
regulation laws the railroad owners
are depressing the money market, who

but no apparent reason exists why there

outstanding Of resources. The country
naturally is in splendid condition. Let

Secretary zeehandelaar of the Fiesta

the wheels turn of the side-wheelers, and
could see plainly the whirl OF waters there

pelleTs. rs well as the prOWs- I could
also see the names Of the steamers paint

The second day this was repeated, at the
same hour with other steamers, and with
the addition of a railroad train in motion
on the adjacent land. On the first day
I read on the side OF one Of the side
wheeler steamers, TO ProvincetOwn." ."
Each day as the sun cast a shadow from
an adjacent building the scene disap-

doubtless had read something about il
