DIED A POOR MAN.

The high compliment implied in the
above heading is paid to the memory
of a distinguished former resident of
Los Angeles. 1t relates to the late
Archbishop Montgomery of san Fran
cisco, who was for many years at the
head of the Los Angeles diocese and
who was respected and admired by
citizens of all classes and all shades of
religious belief
1t seems that the worldly belongings
of Archbishop Montgomery consisted Of
$500 worth of personal property, most
of which is represented by his library,
left as a legacy to Archbishop Riordan.
Hence the report of his affairs states
that the "the filing of the will proves
that the archbishop had not even care
fully saved what small amount he had
received as salary; he gave in charity
more than he kept himself, and died a
poor man.
He died financially poor, but how in
hnitely richer in fact than the multi
millionaire dies after a life devoted to
worship Of the golden calf Thousands
of hearts in Los Angeles ache today
over the untimely demise OF the genial
kindly, Warm- hearted prelate who has
gone to his reward. His sole purpose in
life was the spiritual betterment of the
people ntrusted to his religious keep
/ ing and the general betterment Of the
community i'm which his lot was cast.
There are Americans NOW nearing the
grave Of whom it will be written, when
| the curtain drops on the last act, that
they died immensely rich. This one
had accumulated a fortune of $780,
| 100000: that one 25OOO0,000, and an
other one possibly 5OO,OO0,0O But the
monument of wealth is but as snow
under the hot rays of the sun, so far
as concerns the body on whose coffin

merce will Of course include all citizens,
for everybody in Los Angeles will want
to shake hands with the man who in all
probability will be the next president of
the United States.
on the occasion of Mr.. Bryan's last
visit 70 this city he found here a city
Of less than 100000 people. Upon his
return today he will be welcomed by a

MEXICO'S INTEROCEAN LINK

The formal opening last week of the
Tehuantepec railway as a connecting
commercial link between the Atlantic
and Pacific was an event of interna-
tional Importance. 1t provides a traffic
route nearly three thousand miles
shorter than that by the Panama rail-
way between the Atlantic ports and
our own port at San Pedro, and there
fore it should be Of great service to
our shipping interests.
The Tehuantepec railway has been
in partial operation for several years,
but 1t lacked harbor facilities that
could accommodate extensive shipping.
The route of the railway formerly was
favored by many engineers for ship
canal in preference to both the Panama
and Nicaragua routes. The distance
across the neck of Mexico at that
point is 12O miles, but the route pre-
sents no serious engineering difficult
ties.
Our Mexican neighbors have suf-
f1cient cause for rejoicing over the
completion of what they now call the
Mexican isthmus route. The railway
is equipped at each terminus with ap-
pliances for quickly transferring freight
from cars to ships, and vice versa. This
feature leads to the belief on the part
of sanguine Mexicans that they have
practically forestalled the Panama
canal.
But while the railway across the
Mexican isthmus will surely be of
great commercial service, especially
pending the completion of the Panama
canal, it cannot be considered as a
competitor of the completed canal.
Nothing can overcome the necessity for
"breaking bulk" as transporters call
it, of cargoes passing from one ocean
to the other. No matter how complete
the equipment may be for transferring
cargoes, the fact remains that every
pound of through freight must be un-
loaded from a ship, then placed upon
a car transported 100 miles by railway
and finally lifted again to another ship.
But there will be traffic sufficient for
all the isthmian connections between
the two oceans. The Panama railway
has been of inestimabe service since
ii was opened for traffic in 1855, partic-
ularly during the period prior to the
construction of the Union Pacific rail-
way. The Mexican isthmus route now
will be likely to divert a large volume
of business from the Panama line be-
cause of the great saving in distance
between the latitude of TehuantepeC
and that of Panama.
! 1t is understood that British interests
in the Mexican isthmus route intend tC
operate steamship lines of the high
est modern type between New Yorl
and New Orleans and our Pacific ports
Such lines would compete on eXcep
tionally favorable terms with the Pa
cifc Mail Steamship company, anC
would be hailed with delight by al
business men who are Obliged to hav,
traffic relations with the present mo
nopoly.

SYNDICATE BullDlNG SYSTEM

A notable phase of metropolitan evo-
lution in Los Angeles has lately as
sumed prominence in the building line.
1t is the erection Of costly business
structures, especially office buildings.
by associated capitalists commonly
known as syndicates. The method has
been introduced extensively within re-
cent years in New York and other large
eastern cities.
The syndicate plan Of building simply
divides the cost OF a structure into
units, enabling individuals to own in
terests proportionate to their invest
ments. The net profits from rentals
are divided among investors in like
proportion. The method aids greatly
in the equipment of progressive city
with costly and modern buildings be-
cause 1t affords means of raising the
necessary capital by the chipping in
of any number of persons. In these
days of great office buildings that ap-
proach or exceed in cost the million
dollar mark, only multi-millionaires
have the means OF footing the construc-
tion bills individually.
The experience of New York in the
method of syndicate building is of par
ticular interest in Los Angeles at this
time. In allusion to the great expan-
sion of that city consequent upon the
introduction of its subway system, an
authority says: Rapidly rising values
of land made individual operations
more difficult, because larger
amount of capital was required for
each operation" This difficulty was
surmounted by the syndicate plan of
building, as recently introduced in Los
Angeles.
In New York, as related, there are
extensive interpretations Of realty COM
panies, which undertook operations on
a scale larger than had yet been re-
corded in metropolitan real estate.
During 1901 and 1902 no less than eighty
of these companies were incorporated,
with aggregate capitalization exceeding
s75, 00O,O 900. This was followed in 1902
by a merger of several large companies
into the United States Realty company,
with a capital stock of $50, 600"
The system which thus has proved to
be so successful in adding splendid
modern structures to New York, and
which has beens so satisfactory to in
vestors, promises to b.: of great service
in supplying Los Angeles with modern
business buildings Of the highest type.
The plan already has passed the expert
mental stage here, in fact there being
a few notable examples Of it's success.
The same conditions which led to its
expansion in New York, to the vast pro-
portions described, may be expected to
produce similar results in Los Angeles
The syndicate building plan seems to
be a necessary feature in the evolution
of city that has attained the metro
politan stature which demands a sys-
tenn of subway railroad transit.
