Increase in Forest Fund.

Governor Donaghey has received a letter from the agricultural depart ment to the effect that the amount of money derived from the forests last year by the government amount ed to $6,346.95, and that 25 per cent of that amount, which goes to the state, is $1,5S6.74 This amount is a. great increase over last year, when there was only about $500 turned over to the state from that source. The money must be used in con- structing or improving roads and schools in the counties where the forest reserves are located

Knowing that value is determined by
scarcity of the article, isn't it a fact
that properties become more and more
valuable in just the same proportion
territory or district becomes con-
gested? A store rents for the most
money if it is on corner by which
most people pass in a given time-class
considered. A piece Of property is held
at a price consistent with its nearness
to a given extraordinarily what is
called the business center-that point
being a point which might prove of
value to the greatest number. If that
sort of logic appeals to you, then does

Uncle Sans entire navy without
crowding.
The properties to be improved, others
to he condemned, etc, can be dealt with
and handled today at cost that is
significant; i'm fact, the practically viz
gin situation allows for development at
the cost of $4,000, 900 that some of our
older harbor cities would be only too
glad to take over at some twenty times
ten million dollars. And Los Angeles Is
Just commercial enough in her enter
prising way to recognize that her ten
millions will go farther today IN the
way of development than several times
the amount might in few years. Then
let her commence right away.
Don't lose sight of the fact that san
Pedro has a channel 800 feet IN Wldth'
connecting the inner with the outer
harbor. and while thinking Of this stop
also to think that in order to widen
her river (man channel and two
branches) some fifty to sixty-f1ve feet
over a total distance of about six
miles. Chicago will have to condemn
property to the value of nearly $lO0'o0o'-
600 That spells ten times the amount
necessary to do practically all OF the
work necessary to complete San PEDRO
harbor. complete not only as harbor,
but complete in equipment, etc. And
back to Chicago. the hundred million
is only the cost of condemnation along
the river bank sufficient to give the
main channel $50 feet clearance ana
the branches 200 feet. On top of all
this expense comes the cost of deepen
ing, general improvement, the building
of suitable facilities for the handling
of the ever increasing commerce COM
ing in by way of the lake, the rebuild
ing of some thirty bascule bridges, etc.
with the deepening of the Mississippi,
it will probably mean the expenditure
of many, many more millions TO pro-
vide facilities for caring for the COM
merce coming i'm over that route. But
Just keep in mind that the total eX-
pense for the present work will be
something in the neighborhood of $780,
O0O.0 for much less than can be ac-
complished here for $10,000000. In addi-

Chicago is working out details now
for the Improvement of Lake Calumet
Inside city limits fifteen miles from
the heart of the city; the building of
huge freight yards the building of bulk

will cost from $50,0OO,000 to $6O000,0OO.
Harbors Require Millions
Taking New York as comparative
example, it is an acknowledged fact
that as a harbor city she has stood
supreme, receiving and discharging
probably more dead, live and human
freight in a given time than all other
ports in our country combined (disre-
garding lake ports). And while she
has done nobly. and her facilities the
best possible, the waterway traffic has
gone ahead sufficiently fast that even

CITIZENS MUST WORK
FOR MUNICIPAL HARB0R
Importance of Making San Pedro Free
Port at This Time Is Far Reach
ing in Effects
BY V. c. ALLEN


American citizens, take notice!
Every American citizen who has a.
right to vote should not neglect his
duty at the polls in Los Angeles VIII
mington and San Pedro on the great
annexation days, August 4 and T.
The great step, taken that day by the
leading and loyal citizens OF Southern
California. means the first step toward
our freedom from the grasping cor
porations, the freedom that our fore
fathers gave their life-blood for.
once we open a free and municipal
harbor with docks to the world, the
electric button has been pressed and
the race started between the corpora
tons and the people; and for the peo-
pie to win we shall be compelled 10
build, first, a municipal railroad from
the harbor to Los Angeles, which can
be made more than self-supportlng
Then continue the railroad in various
directions to other counties, allowing
them to connect on, each time watch
ing that it be made self-supporting UNI
iii il can be carried on through coun-
ty after county-then from state to
state we can boast that Los Angeles
is the most wonderful city on earth
and that we have the only free harbor
i'm the world where corporation rule IS
not known.
The most of this Wonderful work
can easily be accomplished by the time
the Panama canal is completed, winch
will then place our port in touch with
other ports of the Asiatic countries IN
habited by over 800,000000 people. Now,
Mr.. Voter, can you cOnscientiously stay
away from the polls on August 4 and
12? Stop, and realize what an indus
trial trade we can establish through
this port AFTER 1T IS MADE A
FREE PORT, with these 800, 100000
people.
Now that we will soon have a vast
territory to ship to we must at once
get busy to prepare to meet their
wants Around this harbor there are
more than 1000 acres suitable for indus
trial purposes. In and west of the
Rockies abundance of raw material lies
awaiting this opportunity for indus
trious people to gather up and make
use of for manufacturing into thou
sands Of useful articles.
In Southern California there lies
abundance of oil and electric power TO
be developed, power which is becom-
ing the choice for factory power. Mr..
Voter, by your vote make this free
port as above shown, and the small
capitalist will be placed on an equal
basis with larger ones, Then the fac
tories will bob up like mushrooms on
the 1000 acres, and you won't need to
roam the streets looking for something
to do. In 1920 Los Angeles will reach
over the 100000 mark.
Mr.. Voter, remember the value of
your vote. MAKE THIS HARBOR A
FREE MUNICIPAL HARBOR BY
ANNEXING IT TO Los ANGELES,
for it will then give the small CAPT
talist an equal chance with the larger
ones.
FREEDOM can be won by your vote!

has been the chief feature giving way
to lime, says the Bisbee Review. This Is
considered very fine indication of ore
to be encountered shortly by the
management
For the first sixty feet of the
north drift on the 1850 the ground
was very soft, requiring timbering
Immediately after it had been cut.
Several small punches of native cop
per were encountered i'm the drift
mixed with the soft matter.
This gave way Saturday to a sill
cate formation. 1t was considered
certain that ore lay upon the other
side Of the wall and this certainly is
rendered even more sure by the en-
countering of lime. A small amount
of low grade has been worked through
This assayed about one-h half of one

About LOO gallons of water per
