BIGGEST PUMPING
PLANT ON EARTH
One in Which City Is Interested
at Utah Lake Bears This
Distinction.
SEVEN CENTRIFUGAL
PUMPS ARE PURCHASED
Aggregate Capacity Is $4,000
900 Gallons in Twenty
Four Hours.

I, probably is not generally known, but
Salt Lake City is the Joint owner, with
four canal and irrigation companies. OF
the largest pumping plant in the world
This plant is located on Utah lake, in
Utah county. near Provo. IL Is capable Of
delivering 700 cubic feet Of water a sec
ond, or 452. 600. 900 gallons every twenty
four hours. The plant consists OF seven
Byron jackson i0-inch centrifugal pumps,
each with a capacity of 100 cubic feet n
second five Westinghouse three phase.
GO-cycie. type X. electric motors OF 100
horse power each; two Fairbanks Morse
three phase 6O-cycle electric motors OF
I50-horse power each, one Jacobson twin
tandem gasoline engine OF lS0-horse
power, and one fire pump, OF the latest
design, with a capacity o. 400 gallons a
minute.
The gasoline engine is so arranged that
pumps. each OF which Is directly connect
cd by means ot n friction clutch, to an
independent electric motor.
This important water source. Usah
lake, is controlled by a commission OF FIVE
members, one representing the city and
one each for the canal and irrigation
companies. The city engineer represents
the city's interests In the matter. The
duty OF this commission is TO regulate
the flow OF water from Utah lake In such
a manner as to supply tho needs Q! the
water users IN sSiI Lake county WITHOUT
oVerflowing the lands. that border the
lake, beyond fixed level.
II Is rather unusual :hat the city should
partly own and maintain an immense
pumping station Ike this IN another coun-
~ than the one in which the municipality
is situated, and II is extremely likely that
school children know more about this
than the average grown person, for the
reason that the city engineers annual
reports have been adopted as a part OF
the course OF study in the public schools
Of Salt Lake City, and more than espe-
oial attention is paid TO the water source.
The citys interest In this big plant is
largely because OF an arrangement made
with farmers who had water rights In two
canyon streams. the water OF which was
much more desirable Tor city use than
poses from these streams. and In ex-
change therefor the city pumps water
from Utah lake for the farmers

SAN PEDRO HARBOR

nY UNANIMOUS decision the har-
II Dor line board has approved plans
~ for the inner and outer harbors of
San Pedro, the only notifications sug-
gested being engagements of the harbor
facilities. The government engineers
have recognized Southern CALIFORNIA;
need for a great harbor and the superb
GRITTY of the rights of the public over
the demands of private or corporation
greed. With Capt. Fries. whose disin-
terested patriotism and hard common
sense have led him from the first to
take the larger and national rather
than a pettier view of the harbor ques-
ton, Lieut.. Col. Biddle believed that
the proper course to adopt with regard
to the harbor is to make 1t as large as
possible and establish it on scale,
plane and plan which will make 1t
adequate for the maximum amount OF
shipping and commerce which may be
expected with the completion OF tho
Panama canal and with the Oriental
trading developments that may. be ex-
pected confidently within the next few
wears. The harbor must have facili-
ties for the Atlantic-Pacific and trans
pacific trade, as we'll as the coastw1se
harbor of the first order is needed
"a really great harbor. The Fries plan
was popular with everyone excepting
the representatives of special interests
which sought notifications of 1t for
the furtherance of their own compare
lively petty schemes and plans. They
wished to sacrifice the requirements OF
the Pacific and of the nation to their
own avarice and would have imposed
their restrictions with single eye, not
to the public good, but to the corpora
ton pocket. The confidence reposed by
the public in Capt. Fries and his as
sociates has been amply justified by
the action of the board in not only APP
proving his plan, but increasing its
scope and acknowledging that his judg-
ment with regard to the gigantic possi-
bilities and probabilities of the Pacific
ocean traffic of the near future Is
sound.

EASY

IN HILIPPINE NEWSPAPERS allege
that while Governor Taft person.
l. ally was above reproach. the
great mistake he made in the admlnls-
tration of the Philippine islands was to
sit by, without uttering reproof or at
tempting interference. while the plum
tree was being shaken. 1t was proba-
blv easier to follow this course than to
put himself in opposition to the forces
which were in control of the ISLANDS
and were using them for selfish pur-
poses. The fact that this was the Sit
uation in the Philippines explains easily
and completely the reason for the
nomination of Governor Taft on an
anti-Roosevelt platform, although 1t
was known to all the delegates that
he was the choice of President Roose-
welt and that the president would ex-
pect him to continue and carry to
their logical development the Roose-
welt policies. The shrewd Republican
machine managers wish to capture
votes of patriotic American citizens
who have backbone, by conveying the
impression tndL IdIL VIII D0 Iio SUI
cessor to Roosevelt and THE ROOSE-
WELT POLICIES. At the same time,
they have sought to capture the money
influence and votes of the interests by
preparing for the candidate platform
which means nothing, and is merely
vanity and vexation of spirit. Now,
as a Republican president means Re-
publican government, and as under
our system a change of executive
means change in cabinet, and as a
change in all departments of govern
ment not yet protected by civil sevice
rules follows, we are naturally inclined
| to ask to what extent Taft's influence
would counterfeit machine tactics in
the selection and appointment of office
holders.
The platform shows that the machine
which runs the Republican party
cares nothing for Roosevelt or Roose-
veltism. Using Roosevelts name and
influence for the purpose of getting
votes the Republicans propose to Sc
cure power, in order that they may
carry into effect anti Roosevelt poll
cies and deliver the country to spoilers
on whom the reproachful or Gliding
voice of the easy-going Taft would
have no restraining influence.

HARBoR DAY

WITH the approach OF Harbor day,
wv the citizens Of Los Angeles. San
Pedro and Southern California
are becoming more and more enthusi-
astic and more and more determined to
make the celebration not merely sue
cessful, but unusually and remarkably
successful. The transpacific yacht race
will attract the attention of the world
to the Pacific ocean and the American
Pacific shores. In spite OF the fact
that the far west is prosperous, 1t can
not be denied that the development of
the United States in one particular has
been somewhat lopsided. Maritime in
terests have been confined in great
measure to Atlantic waters and the At
lantic shore. With the opening of the
Panama canal there will be no more
excuse for lopsidedness. The Pacific
ocean will be as accessible as the At
lantic, and Pacific markets will open
to American enterprise, which will find
the greatest commercial and industrial
field by looking westward, not east
ward. The British and American col
onies in the Pacific are certain to grow
in commercial and manufacturing inn
portance. Japan cannot afford to inn
peril friendship with the two great
English-speaking powers which share
with her the empire of the Pacific. She
cannot quarrel with one without losing
BOTH for the sentiments of British
colonials in the Pacific islands and In
British Columbia and other western
British American lands are, with re-
gard to the Japanese and the Oriental
question, precisely like those of the Pa
cific islanders and of the Americans
who live under the stars and stripes.
Here is a case where the London gov
eminent must remember that blood is
thicker than water, and that the jap
anese alliance, If carried to extremes.
would add to the United States the
British Pacific colonies, both far and
near, snd would cause an unnecessary
and deplorable revival of bitterness be-
tween the English-speaking peoples of
the old world and the new. The inter-
ests of San Pedro harbor are largely
concerned with the oriental and British
Pacific trade. and undoubtedly many
lines of freight carriers and passenger
steamers will ply between California
British Columbia, Japan, Australia,
New Zealand, the Philippines, Hawaii
Japan and British India and China. In
the development and growth of the
west and of Pacific and Oriental mari
time commerce the harbor of San Pedro
is destined to play great and I'M
portant part. 1t is. therefore, absolute
" necessary that IL should be protected
from the domination of selfish interests
and should be free port in per-
petuity."

HAS NO SYMPATHY WITH THE
MEXICAN REvOLUTIONISTS

Los ANGELES. June 22.-[Editor
Herald: 1 noticed in your letter de-
partment few days ago a historical
communication which was evidently
written for the purpose of arousing
misdirected sympathy for the Mexican
revolutionists who are now in the Los
Angeles county Jail. Now how in the
light of common judgment, any true
American can take the part of these
Meztizo agitators l cannot understand
These men are the enemies of Por-
firio DiaZ, a man who has done so much
to encourage American settlement in
Mexico. Suppose Diaz is something of
a political dictator, as has been sug-
gested. He is at least a benef1cent die
tator, and is not such dictator better
than a republic in which the ignorant
masses do the debating? Porfirio Diaz
has shown his craftsmanship by organ
izing the hordes of highwaymen who
in the past infested Mexico into a bu-
reau of mounted police and hence has
banished robbery from the country.
He has refused to accept any dictation
from labor unions and thus greatly en-
couraged industrial development.
The sympathizers of these rebels.

ment wants to get them and shoot
them. What evidence can they adduce?

FAITHFUL AND TRUE

m HE United States board of en-
gineers for more than fifteen
- years has resisted the efforts of
the Southern Pacific railroad to hurt
the harbor by imposing on it restric-
tions suggested by sheer selfishness;
and thanks to the broad and patriotic
view OF the question taken by the
board from the first, the Southern Pa
cific has been thwarted in it's endeavors
poration railroad system. At all times
firm and answering in devotion to the
right and absolutely immovable by any
considerations but those of duty, the
board has been the guardian Of the in
terests of the people and has saved the
harbor for the people. The members
of the board by fifteen years service
have proved they can be depended on
through thick and thin" and that the
harbor enterprise, which is Of national
and international magnitude and i'm
portance, is safe in their hands. AS
the years go by, and as the truth about
the great fight for a free harbor be-
comes generally known, the patriotism
of the board will become more and
more gratefully recognized by the peo-
pie of Southern California, for. whom
1t must ever be cause for rejoicing
that there are branches of the public
service not merely "above suspicion"
but beyond reach. TO the harbor COM
mission also Southern California owes
thanks for long and faithful perform
ance of duty, for answering patriot
ism and for a constant appreciation of
the MEANING of the harbor and Of
harbor development. Southern Cali
fornia, equipped with an adequate
harbor, will be fit for the maritime
responsibilities which will be placed
upon it in the future and will be pre-
pared for the development which may
be expected with the completion of the
Panama canal, the opening up of the
Orient and the great commercial, man
| ufacturing and industrial growth of
| the Pacific coast.

KEEP UP THE FIGHT

XII EEP up the fight" writes the
N president of the United States
n to Rudolph Spreckels, who has
been devoting himself to the cause of
moral cleanliness. Inspired by the ad-
vice of Theodore Roosevelt, the cham
pions of that phase of Americanism
which Is represented in civic and pat
riotic virtue have addressed them
selves TO their task with renewed en-
ergy, and they say that no matter what
is may cost them in time and endeavor
they will do their duty and carry out
to its conclusion in the triumph of
righteousness their battle for justice
and honor. We believe the fight will
be kept up, not only in San Francisco,
but every part of the land. President
Roosevelt's administration will be re-
membered as the time of the great
moral cleanup i'll the United States.
The president has said he does not be-
lieve in undertaking, gathering to-
gether details of official or private mis-
doings merely in order to construct a
spicy magazine article which will help
sell publication; but legitimate at
tack upon corruption, made for the
sake of results to be achieved and not
of the sensation TO be created, meets
his approval. And that's why he writes
to Mr. Spreckels: KEEP UP THE
FIGHT"

TAFT

MANILA newspapers console them
Wi selves over the probable NOM
AAA nation" of Governor Taft by
reciting reasons why he should not be
elected. In our opinion the principal
reason why he should not be elected is
supplied by the Republican platform;
and another reason of great impor-
lance is in the fact that furious oppo-
sition to him is exhibited in the
Philippine islands, where he had an
opportunity of trying "his prentice
hand" as an executive administrator.
1t is easily imaginable that under GER
tain conditions we would have heard
the echoes Of shouts of joy in the
Philippines over the nomination of Mr..
Taft, but the only shouts which have
reached us are shouts of rage. We can
imagine the warm good wishes which,
under certain conditions. would have
been forwarded from the Philippines
to an amiable and well-beloved gov
ernor. but, although Mr.. Taft may be
amiable, there is nothing to indicate
he was well-beloved in the philippines.
The Manila Bulletin says: There are
a great many elements opposed to Sec
rotary Taft of a character likely to
throw the election to Democrat"
