Pacific Coast Delegation Finds City a
Blaze of Color-Many Oriental
Business Men Receive
Visitors
ne Assnciated press.l

YOKOHAMA, CT. 12.-Yokohama is
a blaze of color this morning with
American and Japanese flags flying
from every building in honor of the
delegation of Pacific coast business
men who arrived at o'clock on the
Japanese liner Tenyo Maru from San
Francisco.
The visitors were greeted at the
dock by a crowd which numbered hun
dreds of representative business men
of Japan, assembled from the cities of
Toxic, Kyoto and Osaka.
The carefully prepared program of
entertainment for the Americans COM
menced as soon as they stepped ashore,
and every day of their stay in Japan
will be completely filled with reeep-
tions and sightseeing trips arranged
by their japanese hosts.
Thursday the Americans will be the
guests of Count Komura, minister of
foreign affairs, at a luncheon given in
honor of the visitors.
The Tenyo Maru had an excellent
trip across the Pacific.
Preparations for the reception of the
Atlantic battleship feet are assuming
tremendous proportions. The popular
demonstration of eagerness to partici-
pate in the ceremonies is the greatest
thing of the kind ever witnessed in
Japan.

Wagner and Col. Heuer as follows:
"Three factors determine the COM
mercial supremacy of city by the
sea: First, it's potential tributary
commerce; second, the size and ac-
feasibility of it's harbor, and third, the
development of it's docks to meet the
requirements and accelerate the in
crease of it's commerce. OF the three,
the value of the commerce, actual and
potential, is fundamental. Good har-
bors on barren coasts do not make
great seaports. But where a tributary
interior territory exists. rich IN agri-
cultural and mineral possil iities and
capable of supporting large popula-
ton, 1t is sufficient to transform shall
low inlets into deep and commodious
harbors at the points where the lines
of intercourse of it's maritime and in
terror trade converge, Where the
hinterland is rich in resources and a
natural harbor already exists, capa-
BILE of receiving the commerce of the
world, it is evident that the accelera-
tion of the growth Of the port will de-
pend on the one remaining of the three
factors--the development of it's docks"

The report of the engineers of the

Citations of San Francisco, although
but recently is9led, has taken its place
already as one of the few comprehen-
sive summaries of port developments
and requirements. Adequate literature
on the subject of harbors is very linn
tied. and the San Francisco report is
the most complete published in the
English language. 1t represents an ex-
penditure of $4,000 by the federated
associations in the shape of inyestiga-

they found at tho outset great lack
of data, and Mr.. Wagner made
tour of the principal ports, both sea
and inland, in the United States. He
followed this with visits to many OF
the important harbors of Europe. In
that way he obtained much valuable
information which would not have been
available otherwise.
The report takes up the established
theories of port development, applies
them to conditions at San Francisco,
and gives details for practical applica-
ton. "This is of great interest to Los
Angeles" says Capt. A. A. Fries, "for
everything applicable to San Francisco
may be said of Los Angeles and San

NEW YORK, Oct. 11.-George r.
Sheldon, treasurer of the Republican
national committee, is said to be re-
ceiving severe censure from Republican
leaders for allowing the secret to leak
out that Andrew Carnegie was a con-
tributor of $4,000 to the Repupncan
campaign fund.
Sheldon's work in raising 100000 for
the Hughes campaign for governor in
1906 and the sources of that fund have
caused much uneasiness in regard to
his present work at Republican head
quarters in the Metropolitan Life build
ing.
Additional worry exists because infor-
nation which the Republican managers
would not like to see made public re-
garding Sheldon's methods in gathering
campaign money and his connection
with corporate interests is likely to
come out following the Bryan Roose-
welt correspondence, 1t is claimed.
The publication of the Democratic
party's contributions, none of them
over $1,000, a month before the election,
has caused the Republican managers
to lose considerable sleep.
II they follow suit their candidate
will be injured, it is believed, and II
thew fail to publish the list he will like
wise lose votes.
1t is possible the rule against publ
cation may be broken over with list

The handbook outlines a plan for
making Los Angeles a harbor city
without waiting for special legislation,
by extending the west basin channei
to Gardena. The cost of the prelim-
mary work in this direction is the out
mel two miles inland inside the strip.
The following argument on this is
given in the handbook:
This proposition is in the line of
least resistance, for it might be ac-
complished without need of state leg
islation and with but few essential
local enactments.
"Thus Los Angeles could become in
fact harbor city for one-tenth the
cost of the Owens river aqueduct
And the entire cost of the municipal
canal and docks would be returned
five times over every year in actual
profits to the city, 40 say nothing oi
the inestimably greater profits, In IN
crease of commerce and growth.
1.-THE city of Los Angeles, at a cost
of $4,000 600, can be made a harbor
city, having the lowest freight rates
in the world, where the cheapest raw
materials can be obtained for manu-
featuring and can create one of the
greatest manufacturing cities of the
world. The saving in freight VIII
amount to more than S10,OO0,O0O the
nrSI year over pISSSilb AdAt eAoiSPOA
tation between the east and the west,
and all the people here now and all
those that come can find employment
at profitable wages.
~rhe expense of making Los Angeles
a free seaport city is a mere baSatelle
compared with the tremendous outlay
by which Bismarck saved Germany
from disaster and made it great
prosperous nation, although it was
necessary in Germany to dredge wa
terways to cities 300 miles inland, these
waterways being closed to traffic by
ice for several months each year,
condition not met with in this section
All obstacles are few; the rewards
tremendous.
'Srhe first year a million tons o
freight would pass through this cana
between Southern California and tht
east upon the Atlantic seaport, gul
and lakes, the total freight rate o.
which would be less than IS a ton
which now moves by rail at $25 ton
and each year the commerce woulo
rapidly increase, especially after the
completion of the Panama canal"
The handbook also gives in detail
the plan for the Ballona harbor pro
iect and the military harbor of Santa
Monica bay.
