meeting of the Santa Ana chamber of
commerce a society would be organized
for the purpose of getting this harpor
Improvement work at Newport under
way.
M. Estadillo OF Riverside of the state
legislature showed there was no opposi-
ton felt toward San Pedro by the people
of Newport; that the dream of great
harbor at this latter point was no idle
dream, since what has been thirty years
ago can be again in the future, and New
port can regain her narbor interests. The
agitation for river and harbor improve
ments is all over the land now-witness
the cry at the great Washington con-
vention last year, when their shibboleth
was 100000 for river and harbor i'm
provement of the United States.
All the harbors of California would be
improved in time. And the people of the
interior. once these harbors were built
UP, could ship their fruit east at much
lower rates than is now the case.
Then came the address of Senator L.
A. Wright of San Diego, chairman of the
state committee, whose remarks were
listened to with the closest attention. He
said in part:
you can't live here without port
that's why you. brought us down here
today When the committee was APP
pointed this point was not considered;
San Diego, San Francisco, San Pedro
and Eureka were only listed.--
Need Many Harbors
''But Lewis brought me here through
his urgent telegraphing and writing. 1
do not know that we can grant you all
that you expect We are not to make
promises which we cannot carry out
But we of the committee are surprised at
the depth and extent of this bay. There
was a period, learn, when several mill
lions of feet of lumber and passengers
as we'll were landed here every day. Why
should that not become true in the flu
ture? When this country grows up you
will need more than two harbors-San
Pedro and San Diego will not be able to
accommodate all the needs.
.'Now. practically, what can we do for
Won? I learn that you have twenty feet
of water right off shore and that at low
tide you have four or five feet of water
over the bar. So some means must be
devised to get shipping over the bar.
''If the government were to spend as
much here as It did at San Pedro you
would have a harbor rivaling that OF
San Diego. The government must not
turn back from the work at San Pedro.
You are in better shape to ask for state

COOPER IS ATTRACTING WIDE
SPREAD ATTENTloN-THEo.
RIEs GAIN PROMINENCE.

BOSTON. Feb. 25.-The remarkable
results that are being accomplished
in Boston by L. T. Cooper have be
come topic of universal interest dur
ing the past week.
Reports that preceded his visit to
this city told IF Mr. Cooper's great
success in Chicago. But the man and
his medicine did not attract wide.
spread attention until theS beginning
OF his second week here. Then the
interest in him became very notice.
able and has steadily gathered head.
way until his preparations are now
being sold in enormous quantities,
and his headquarters Is a most inter.
estlng place to spend half-hour.
People are coming from all parts of
the city and surrounding towns to see
him The young man and his assist
ants are surrounded by swarms OF
humanity from early until Iate-some
to tell what has been accomplished for
them by the Cooper medicines; Others
to buy the remedies.
Perhaps nothing has done more to
arouse this interest than Mr.. Coopers
statement regarding the human stom'
ach, At the commencement of his
visit to this city. he claimed that the
stomach is responsible for much of the
i'll health of this generation and that
his New Discovery medicine would
prove his theory to be correct.
This statement seems to have been
completely verified. During the past
two weeks hundreds Of people who
have been taking the Cooper prepare
tion have been relieved of various ills.
In consequence. Cooper and his theo'
ries have been growing into greater
prominence each day.
Many OF those who called at his
headquarters yesterday had taken the
New Discovery medicine for various
forms of stomach trouble and made
statements as to results obtained by
them.
Abatement of this character. which
is almost identical with all those given
by people who have had the same
experiences, is given by John s. Keen
house painter, living at Trenton
street, East Boston, Mass. who said:
"For several wears I have been in poor
health, generally rundown condi'
ton. I have been treated by various
doctors and. taken all kinds OF patent
medicines. but received no benefit
from either. Physicians gave me med
icine for indigestion, dyspepsia and
stomach trouble. but none of them
afforded more than temporary relief.
My appetite was variable-sometimes
hungry as a wolf. then again sicken'
ing at the sight of food.
