THE BIG BROTHERS. MOVEMENT,

Maybe there is a lesson in the fact
that very good fruit is frequently found
on an unlovely tree.
In the very worst part of New York
City, morally considered, where the bad
of every race and age learn how to be
worse, there is a company Of men who
devote themselves to correcting the mis-
takes of the erring. They call them
selves the Big Brothers; and each mem
Der takes the responsibility of looking
after one or more of the bad boys.
The system has a doubly good effect.
It helps the Big Brother to 90 right, to
resist temptation, to play the part of a
good citizen at times when without the
responsibility he might fall And it
generally has the effect of helping the
bad boy. There are now 600 Big Broth
ers; and the prominent men who work
for the uplifting of their fellows regard
the company as one Of the most useful
in all New York.
You remember that Gains only an
swer, when the Lord asked him where
was his brother, was the rather insOIent
one: Am my brothers keeper" But
he was-at least to the extent Of know
ing where he was. and how he was. One
can at least do that much. And Cain
deserved the curse quite as much for
his wrong view as for his wrong action.
Every man is a Big Brother for every
one who needs him. Every woman is a
Big Sister for every girl who needs her,
and can be helped by her. Each man
and each woman ought TO be brother
and sister to the community; advising
wisely for the good Of the whole big
family which we call a city. And,
maybe, it wouldn't be a bad thing for
each TO appoint himself and herself Big
Brother and Big Sister for some par
tieular boy or girl who is in need Of
suggestion, and love, and encourage
ment, and direction. Men do not go to
hell because they like it, but because
before they get into the right road
they contract the habit Of trying all the
rest of the roads And there are so
many of them: and each ends badly,
The Big Brother movement could be
useful outside Of New York.

THE MEN VIC MAXI UTAH.

Maybe you could help IL you were
present today at that Lagoon meeting,
held in the interest Of the Weber river
irrigation district, Never mind If It is
a private enterprise. This nation is
prosperous because of the enterprise Of
its citizens. The men who made the
nation great gained each an advantage
for himself. And that was right. For
If they We're as well off IN body and

rule as they could hope to be under
their own, they were foolish TO go into
a revolution.
The men who are making the state Of
Utah are expecting themselves to be
better off. And If they are disappointed
Il viii be the first time in all the history
of the world where it has proved indi-
viduaIly Improbable to advance the
general cause.
The men who have made dry farming
pay, down there in the plains Of San
pete county. are doing something for
themselves; but they can't do it with
out prohting the whole state Of Utah.
The men who make irrigation, wherever
it is. will be better off themselves. and
so will the whole state of Utah. The
miners who with wisdom and industry
pursue the metals through the hills will
add to their own fortunes; and at the
same time they viii make the whole
state better off. The men who improve
their stock. who improve the roads they
use. who extend the borders of their cul-
tivated felds-aH help make the state
of Utah.
Men who paint their houses, who have
good fences, who are industrious, who
are prudent and saving, who are enter
prising and REPRESENTATIVES are the
men who make Utah.
Every acre reclaimed from the waste,
either by irrigation or dry farming. is
a monument that will forever testify to
the public spirit and public service of
the man who walked the latent resources
of the soil.
We of Utah have matchless OppOT-
tunity. And every enterprise forwarded
for the broadening Of the productive
area, in any line, is a friend of the state

people to the Auditorium tonight. This

other cities and it attracted the in
terests of the people here to a notable
degree. .-s
In beginning his talk the speaker
said, Il will honor three things by Civ
ing them fair discussion; they are the
theater, the dance and cards" The lee
ture was full of caution against in
temperate enjoyment of any pleasure
which has more influence for evil than
for good.
Last night DR.. Dixon's address, the
subject word being Blessed" included
the following:
"Blessedness means a state of happi-
ness that does not happen by chance
This truly happy life is in the present
tense. Too many seem willing to wait
until they get to heaven to enjoy its
bliss and happiness. II one doesn't

life is a savory life. Some Christians
are good, but alas, they are good for
nothing"
In his Bible study talk this morning
on the book of Genesis, he said:
THAT God was the creator is even
evident by the word of God. The idea
of Darwinism and the process of evolu-

road to the city limits, suggested to be
run down u street If we assume that
the wharves will cost $3.50 per square
foot, and that the WharVes are 30 feet
wide, the cost of 1000 feet would be
100000. In addition to this in order
TO improve this frontage at all perma-
nently, the dikes that are thrown up
now must be rip-rapped we'll with
stone Assuming that this will cost
Sl0 per foot, the cost for the 1000 feet
will be $40, 900.
"A municipal railroad reaching TO the
city limits and down to the lower end
of these Wharves would be about three
miles long, which for grading, ties and
rails. but without equipment would
cost S20OOO. There would then remain
$4,000 to begin the construction Of
warehouses and the Improvement Of
the streets mentioned.
However as stated before il will
take one dredge such as the govern
ment dredge San Pedro five years to
do the dredging above mentioned.
According to the report of the con
solidation committee, two years after
consolidation an additional appropria
tion of 100000 is to be made. OF this
at least one-half could go to the inner
harbOr, and that would be used in
building further wharves along Water
street, along the north side of the
channel from Canal street to Banning
street and on the easterly side of Nor
mon island. as well as on the cast side
of the 50O-fOot channel connecting the
east basin with the Y turning basin.
Other Plans of Expenditure
But to go back to the original prop
osition of what can be done with a
million dollars. We viii assume that
only $25O,OO0 is expended in dredging,
which will provide for the 300-foot
as well as the 30O-foot channel to the
south and east of Mormon island con-
Meeting the Y turning basin in front
of Wilmington with the present turn
ing basin, allowing, in addition, the
complete dredging of the y turning ba-
sin, and practically complete the north
east arm of the Y turning basin be-
tween Canal and Banning streets.
THE remaining $250,000 can he eX
pended in building Wharyes along Wa
ter street a portion of the way between
Banning street and Canal street, and
along the citys property on the west
erIy edge of the Y turning basin. These
WharVes and one or two store houses
to serve immediate needs would prac-
tically use up the million dollars, and
would give wilmington about 5000 feet
Of wharfage with 25 sect of water at
low tide.
Having considered the harbor as a
whole, as it must be- and that the pres
ent inner harbor will be deepened in
the next five years to 30 feet at low
tide, it is evident that the channel to
the west of Mormon island should be
made at least the same-that is, 80 feet
at low tide. This can be done at cost

MERGER LAWS
WILL Be READY
COUNCIL ASKS ATTORNEY TO
DRAW ORDINANCES
WILL BE PREPARED FOR CON-
SoLlDATIoN
Resolution and Delay of Budget May
Mean Money Immediately for
Harbor Improvements
Without Bonds

The Los Angeles city council yester-
day unanimously adopted resolution
instructing the city attorney TO pre-
pare all ordinances necessary 10 carry
the plan of consolidation into effect anu
to have them ready for presentation 10
the council at once, providing consoll-
dation is carried. The council took oc-
casion also to reaffirm the plan OF con-
solidation as presented by the Los An
geles consolidation committee as the
declared policy of the city of Los An
geles." an action which strengthens the
efforts of the campaign committee.
The resolution means that the plan
for consolidation will be pushed without
delay in case the election carries TO-
day and that at San Pedro is sue
cessful August H. Although members
of the consolidation committee or the
harbor commission would not say so the
resolution to have all preliminarles
ready at once, taken with the fact that
the budget is delayed until consolidation
is settled, would indicate that provision
NAV be made from the general fund
for immediate harbor work without the
delay necessitated by bond election.
Members of the harbor commission
and others who have closely followed
harbor development realize the vital
Importance of early work in order to
have a harbor scheme completed to take
advantage Of the opening of the Pan
anna canal, and ii seems evident that
if consolidation allows the building OF
a harbor no time will be lost in doing
all the work possible.
Councils Resolution
TIE resolution adopted by the city
council is as follows:
Whereas, The report of the commits
sion appointed to formulate a plan for
the proposed consolidation of the city
Of Los Angeles and the cities of San
Pedro and Wilmington was approved
and confirmed by this council by resolu-
tion adopted at its meeting of June IA,
1909; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the council of the city
of Los Angeles that said plan be and
the same is hereby reaffrmed and ap-
proved in each and every particular as
the declared policy of the city of Los
Angeles relative thereto, and as setting
forth the basis upon which the consoh-
dated city will provide for the govern
ment of and the improvements to be
made in the cities of San Pedro and
Wilmington and San Pedro and Will
harbors; and, be it further
"Resolved, That the city attorney be
and he is hereby instructed to prepare
any and all ordinances necessary to
carry said plan into effect, such or
dinances to be presented to the council
upon the completion of the consolida-
ton of the cities of San Pedro and
Wilmington respectively with the city
of Los Angeles"

The next step in the development Of

the Y turning basin in front of Will

the east basin could be postponed for a
great many years, and would probably

the inner harbor by the public.
Ten Million in Ten Years
81 have not the time, nor is this the
place, TO follow out the progressive de-
velopment of the entire inner harbor
through the coming ten years, when as
proposed Los Angeles will spend $40
100000 on harbor improvements. This
! may outline later. Tonight | simply
want to show you what appears to me
to lie the logical, progressive way to
go at this improvement, and the best
way to afford harbOr facilities at the
most convenient place for Wilmington
and consequently at the most con-
vonient points for the city of Los An
geles.
IN conclusion l want to assure you
that Los Angeles will do these things.
She must do them or take a back seat
to San Francisco. She has refused
state aid to improve the harbor be-
cause she knew that two-thirds at least
of the state will always be tributary
to san Francisco and not interested in
San Pedro. AS Judge Noyes said last
night, Los Angeles never gives up, and
you yourselves know that she never
has given up the harbor fight, though
through most of three years il has
looked black indeed for tie public.
ION the other hand, the corporations
will not do it. They will simply do
that which pays them best, regardless
of the public. That is the history of
this country and all of Europe. AS an
anti-consolidatiOnist speaker said, You
can only judge the future by the past
Yes; and what "A judgment against the
corporations and in favor of Los An
geles! See how the corporations fought
for Santa Monica and against San
Pedro and Wilmington. And. come to
htink of it, isn't it Just what one would
expect now to see the anti-consolida-
tionists import Santa Monica man 10
tell you what to do?
Notice that Wilmington is the man
ufacturing center. That it will be so is
evident to every unprejudiced mind.
The land is level and low, and can be
reached by every railroad coming to
this country at very little cost And
manufacturers will come with harbor
improvements, and not before

New M6XiCO Central

We have had 80 many reports
regarding a renewal of operations
on the New Mexico Central,
which never made good, that
everything in that line is now re-
ceived by the Albuquerque public
with a very large grain of allow
ance. Here is the latest, taken
from the current issue OF the
Railway Age Gazette, which we
give for what it is worth:
An officer of the New Mexico
Central Company, formerly the
Santa Fe Central, writes that
his company has given a con-
tract to the Dominion Construc-
ton company, of Pittsburg, Pa,
for an ..extention from Moriarty,
New Mexico, west to Albuquer-
que, forty-five miles, also from
Frost to Hagan, fifteen miles. y
While we are not prepared to
vouch for the foregoing state
ment, it is not at all improbable.
All those familiar with the situa-
ton have known for a long time
past that the extentions re-
feared to were vitally important
to the company, and would be
built as soon as the necessary
arrangements could be made,
and since the officers of the
company have been giving their
entire attention to the all-impor-
tant feature of the business for
some months past, it is not to be
regarded as improbable that they
have succeeded in closing the
negotiations necessary to enable
them to go ahead with the work,
and in that case it will not be
long before we shall hear the
whistle of the locomotive ir

Goes to ON6W Fi6|d

The attendance at the Agricul-
tural college this year promises
to break records for the past
few years, according to DR.. W.
E. Garrison, president of the
school, who spent yesterday in
Albuquerque on his way to the
educational association meeting
at Ro5'a,' I. D.. Garrison says
the efforts of the school have
been devoted the past two years
to improving the standard. which
has been satisfactorily done and
the attendance is now expected
to increase. The registration
just before Christmas was over
three hundred, the largest at
that season of any year and the
! indications are that the school
will have a larger attendance for
the year than it has known here
tofore.
Prof. Tinsley who leaves the
school to take up work for the
Santa Fe railroad, instructing
dry farmers, will be succeeded
by Wilbur L. Powers, formerly a
member of the agricultural
school faculty, but more recently
at the Oregon Agricultural col
lege. Mr.. Powers has had good
training and it is expected that
he will fill Prof. Tinsley's posi-
ton acceptably,
A new member of the faculty
has been added in the person OF
F. l., Bixby, who comes to the
school from the interior depart
ment of the government to con-
duct work in irrigation. Mr..
Bixby has had a vast experience
during the past four years study
ing the governments projects
and this experience fits him for
the position he will hold. -Tri-
