FRIES PRAISES
BOARD TRUSTEES
GOVERNMENT ENGINEER TALKS
OF HARB0R
Declares WiImIngton's City LegisIa-
tors Are Doing Their Best
to Assure a Free
Port

Capt. Amos A. Fries paid a strong
tribute to the city trustees of VIII
nlington in an address on the harbor
before the Current Events club at Hol-
lywood laa night.
"All honor" he said. ito J. M. Bren-
nan, E. Opp, N. F. Breen, John Silva
and George Johnson, the trustees of
Wilmington, who are laboring so
faithfully and under extremely diff
cult conditions for a great free har-
Dor The Wilmington trustees have
taken a mighty step forward for the
good of the harbor, and at the present
rate Southern California will in the
years to come build monuments to
them as they have to the late lamented
Stephen M. White, one of the fathers
of the harbor. Their recent action on
applications for railroad franchises on
the harbor front entities them to the
honor and gratitude of every man in
Southern California.
There is only one path, straight and
narrow, to be followed If San Pedro
harbor is to become great and free.
It's wharves storage yards, side
tracks, etc, must be brought under
public ownership and control at the
earliest practicable date. To do this,
three things are necessary:
First, the tideland suits must be
carried through to the finish with all
possible dispatch. Second, a simple,
direct law must be passed by the state
legislature extending to cities with
freeholders' charters the same right
to annex other contiguous cities upon
a majority vote of each as is now en-
joyed by cities, under the general law,
not having freeholders' charters. Such
law must not be COMPOUNDED with
nor its passage endangered by asso-
citation with a law to consolidate city
and county governments. Consolida-
ton of city and county may be eco
nomical and otherwise advisable, but
it certainly is not a necessity and no
one is going to suffer if 1t is not
brought about for years. Third, the
proposed charter amendment to the
charter of the city of Los Angeles
Called No. p, authorizing the city to
vote bonds to improve its water front,
must be adopted on February 2, 19o9."

THE coLuM BIN E.


On the mountain side so bleak and
bare
Grows a flower of blue and white
With tender petals SO perfect and
fair.
It's beauty Rlls each heart with de-
light.
With face upturned to the gentle sun
And famed by the cool mountain air
OF all the blossoms there's no fairer
Than our Columbine so rare.
or pansies and roses the artist can
talk
And on the beauty of dahiias gaze,
But growing wild under foot as you
walk.
The Columbine blooms in summer
days.
England may boast of her fragrant
rose.
And the Irish the shamrock wear
But no sweeter flower in hot.house
grows,
Trained and nourished by florists
care.
Chrysanthemums the Japanese wear in
their hair,
And the Scotch the thistle admire
But give lis the Columbine pretty and
fair,
OF the delicate blossoms we never
tire.
The maple leaf the Canadians all love
'Tis an emblem they would not ex.
change,
But the Columbine is blue like the
sky above,
And white like the snow covered
mountain range.
The fame Of the Kansas sunfiower we
know
With leaves of yellow and centers
brown,
But on prairies bleak where sweet
zephyrs blow
Our national flower the Columbine
is found
