HARRlMAN'S IMPERIALISM

Never before. even in all the litera-
ture of the Standard Oil. has there
ever been spread upon the records such
an amazing exhibit of financial con-
centratiOn as was made in the two day
proceedings al this inquiry. Various
forms of legal procedure were gone
through with. but the autocrat was
Mr.. Hartman, and the board of di-
rectors and even the executive COM
mittee simply recorded what he willed
Mr.. Harriman'S will was shown by a
scheme of imperial railroad expansion
covering the whole country. East and
west the creation of a vast continental
system reaching from the Atlantic to
the Pacific, both north and south.
Moreover, it appears that among the
extraordinary stock Investments made
by the Union Pacific We're a number of
large purchases from Mr.. Hartman
Mr.. Rogers and Mr. Stillman, all three
directors of the company. These gen.
tlemen, indeed. did not vote in the
board of directors on the question of
these purchases from themselves, and
yet in true sense the dual tran
saction was again brought to the front,
as it was in the insurance inVestiga-
ton. the dual transaction consisting
of the directors in control acting at the
same time as buyers and sellers.
The Union Pacific was chartered as
an operating company, and it has sue
cessiVely served the purposes of a hold
ing company and a bank as we'll as a
transportation concern. Apparently it
has now disposed of its immense cash
surplus and is in the position of an in
vestment company. 1t owns the stocks.
and the capitalists who sold them now
have the cash. Now all this is not
necessarily illegal. But it will inevita-
bly, leave a bad taste in the public
mouth. 1t will give aid and encour-
agement to the agitation of govern
ment ownership of railroads. of which

ANoTHERPR PROMISING RESOURCE

new departure by certain railway
companies calls attention to great
lundeveloped resource Of Southern cali
fornia. That is the growth Of trees
suitable for railway ties 1t Is shown
by statistics that the available timber
suitable for ties will be exhausted in
the not far distant future. and there
appears to be no hope of finding a
fit substitute for wood.
few months ago the Santa Fe
railway company bought large tract
of land in San Diego county for use
in growing eucalyptus trees from which
to make railway ties. The purpose is
to plant a large acreage every year,
and the work slready is in progress
The Pennsylvania Railway company
as announced is preparing to go ex-
teDsively into tree planting as a means
of providing ties for the future, and
other railway companies are likely to
follow the example.
Nowhere in the United states are
conditions so favorable for the growth
of trees suitable for ties as they are
in Southern California. This because
certain varieties of the eucalyptus tree,
which make ideal railway ties, grow
here with astonishing rapidity and in
ground that is worthless for other pur-
poses.
The eucalyptus, for which we are
indebted to Australia, is quite "at
home" in this climate. The varieties
that have been tested here are all
hardy, thriving from the seed. and re-
quiring no artificial irrigation or other
special care after the first year. The
long and dry summer of this region
does not affect them injuriously, as
their roots extend downward in the
earth dozen feet or more in seeking
moisture.
An obvious need in Southern Califor-
MIA cultivation is greater variety of
products. The growing of citrus fruits
has been so attractive and so profit
able within recent years that other
lines of land production have been
generally overlooked. To use a familiar
country saying, our farmers are put
ting too many eggs in one basket"
AS an evidence of the prodigious
present demand for railway ties. and of
the vastly greater future requirement,
it is stated that the railways of this
country use 100000 new ties every
year. 1t is said that the Pennsylvania
Railroad company alone pays more
than s5,0O0,O00 per year for ties.

PRISONER GIVES
WOMAN DIAMONDS
VALUABLE GEMS FOUND IN
PACKAGE
Police Believe They Were Stolen and
viii Try to Determine
Where They Came
From

Through small package handed to a
discharged woman prisoner by man
still confined in the city Jail, the po-
lice have gained what they consider n
clew to the perpetrators of one and
perhaps more of the recent robberles
in Los Angeles.
Joe Markham was arrested several
days ago in company with a woman,
Hazel Bailey. Both were booked on a
charge of vagrancy. When searched
at the police station a fine diamond
ring was found in Markham's pocket.
Yesterday the Bailey woman was re-
leased. When she was leaving the sta
ton Markham asked permission to
give the woman package. His re-
quest was granted and a small paper
bundle was handed her When the
Bailey woman reached the corridor
she was stopped by detectives and the
package opened. In it was found five
diamond rings of a total value of about
$3.50. The rings were turned over to the
property clerk and the detectives are
now endeavoring to learn where Mark
ham obtained them. 1t is thought they
may be part OF the loot obtained in
some house robbery.

COUNCIL SESSION LIVELY
Pasadena City Fathers Struggle with
DispIeasure of Property
Owners
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
PASADENA, Feb. 19.-The city coun-
ell session was livened up a bit this
morning by a debate between the prop
erty owners on Los Robles avenue and
the councilmen, and another debate be-
tween the property owners on Oakland
avenue and the same body. The for
mer were pulling for paving of their
thoroughfare and the latter were like
wise doing the same. The former won
and the latter lost.
Protestants to Los Robles paving OBJ
pected to narrowing their street to
pave, or to paving portion or all until
all water pipes were laid. The objec-
ton was interposed in the form of a
petition signed by a hundred names.
The object was sustained. The city
engineer was given the protest to cer-
tify If the frontage signed was ma
iority, and If found to be such the work
on the avenue will be delayed for six
months.
The Oakland avenue matter came in
the form of a protest to letting bids
for the work on the avenue, and the
protest was overruled. Four bids were
opened and the contract was awarded,
Andrew Holloway receiving the award
on bid of $14.S12,6O.

VISITING

True art always impresses one that
the artist didn't do as well as he might.
His creation, as beautiful and inspiring
as it is, still gives witness of a force
that is not yet expressed. The beholder
or listener is perfectly satisfied because,
If absolute perfection were attained, he
wouldn't enjoy it; he couldn't. This
rule holds true in the ordinary expert
ence of entertaining a friend. There is
a lack of extravaganza that means sin
cerity, and there is the moderation of
hospitality that means a genuine well
come. a guest who is inundated with
good things-really an excess of them
knows they are no part of the friend S
life which he comes to share.
He would no more appreciate the
ability of his friend to do more than he
is doing than he would the actual dis
play of that ability, for if he has sense,
and it is of such people we speak, he
will appreciate the fact that his host
does not depend upon oStentatiOn and
superfluity to make his guests visit
agreeable, but upon the simplicity of
the welcome and the good taste with
which 1t is adorned. We are led to
these thoughts by a little remark in a
newspaper in these words, "Remember
that when you go visiting you become
a problem" If there We're any prob
lem about it, it would be we'll that the
visitor stayed at home. and if, per
chance, it should evolve, which one
should not be too suspicious about, it
would be we'll If he folded his tent
But real visits are like going out into
the garden and making a bouquet; it is
a harmony of color, form and fra

RIDES PEDALLESS WHEEL
FOR LONG DISTANCE
Special to The Herald.

special TO me Herald.
VENICE, Feb. 19.-Sitting astride of
a pedalless bicycle which he propelled
by running a few steps after after
which he would lift up his feet and
coast, w. w. Ferguson, 70 years old
and an inmate of the Soldiers home,
attracted considerable attention on
Windward avenue this morning where
he stopped to rest after having navi-
gated his steed in the manner de-
scribed from Sawtelle, a distance of al
most seven miles. Ferguson, coatless
and covered with perspiration, was i'm
mediately the center of an amused and
interested crowd to whom he readily
explained the meaning of his strange
manner of locomotion. He had, he said,
been sufferer from complicated rheu-
matism that affected him most Sc
verely in the lower part of the body
and for years had been unable to bend
his knees, which necessitated his haV-
ing to use crutches in getting about
He said this way Of travelling was too
slow to suit him and besides was wear
ing on his arms, which caused him to
resort to every means he could avail
himsef of to find some substitute fof
the crutches, eventually resulting in a
comrade suggesting the pedalless bcy-
Gle, which on trial proved just the trick.
Ferguson served during the civil war
with the Sixteenth New York regulars.

SHAKEUP DUE IN
PUBLIC LIBRARY
MAYOR HARPER CoNFERs WITH
MISS GLEASON
Recent Pocket Veto Of Finance seere.
tary's Report Regarded as Evil
dence of Faction Politics
Among Employees

Miss Pearl Gleason, secretary to the
board of directors of the public library
and principal of the finance department
of the library, had an hours conference
with Mayor Harper yesterday.
This move is but another I'm the long
pending controversy in the library.
With the noming of Directors Dock
weller and OMelveny by Mayor Harper
the situation was changed somewhat,
Director Trueworthy having been rated
as siding with the Lummis administra-
tion, of which Dockweiler is also n
strenuous supporter.
Miss Gleason, 1t is said, has incurred
the enmity of some of the Dockweiler
appointees in the library, which enmity
has shown itself in efforts to hamper
her work. The most recent example has
been the shifting of blame for the pay
ment twice of an order for books to q
San Francisco man through an alleged
faulty system of accounting.
one of the last official acts of retlr-
ing President Trueworthy was to sup
press a report which showed that Miss
Gleason was not responsible for this
error, the blame being divided between
two other persons who happened to be
adherents of the Lummis adminlstra-
ton.
Miss Gleason as secretary made this
report which suffered a pocket veto, and
information having reached the mayor
to this effect he sent for the young
woman yesterday to learn the facts first
hand.
Mayor Harper has notified heads Of
departments that efficient service is eX-
pected from all city employees, and a
severe policy of dealing with former
favorites may result in this and similar
cases where the public's interest suf-

JOURNALISTS MADE TO oRDEF

They are talking about founding a
college of journalism in Missouri and
Cornell university pretends to graduate
Journalists every year Mr.. Joseph
| Pulitzer gave some millions that were
to establish a school of journalism in
| New York. e you can turn out Jour
naliSts" like gloves and grubbing hoes,
| slate pencils, trace chains, jack knives
and other articles necessary to domes-
tic economy, it is great thing for the
noblest of professions. But you can no
more make a journalist by hand than
you can make a poet by hand. Francis
Jeffrey, editor of the Edinburgh Re-
view. and autocrat of English letters In
his day, wrote a most entertaining and
very plausible essay, in which he took
the position that Benjamin Franklin
would have been a very ordinary man
if he had been licked into shape at
Harvard college, and we do not be-
lieve that Horace Greeley would have
been half the journalist he was had he
been bred to the craft in a school of
journalism.
The place to teach and to learn jour-
nalism is in a newspaper office. 1t
may be a little old country weekly or a
great big city daily, and then the man
must be born a journalist or the job
will be hopelessly botched. Love your
job or leave it. Unless the newspaper
man loves printers ink; unless he loves
the music of the case; unless he loves
the music of the press as it turns out
the history of yesterday all the col
leges in the world will never make a
journalist of that man. Wishes do not
fill the Arno nor turn plums into
oranges, to borrow a thought from
George Eliot. and neither will a man in
tended for a blacksmith or a tailor move
