THINGS YOU
WILL WANT
TOKNOW

Camp Algonac is a tent city with
main street forty feet wide and
with cOnverging streets twenty feet
wide.
The camp is equipped this year
with an entire new outfit consisting
of 500 tents 9 l.e by ls feet, with
4-foOt side walls and flies, providing
ample accommodations for 1900
people.
Each tent contains two canvas cots,
two camp stools, one wash bowl and
pitcher and one drugget (tarpaulin)
5x1o feet. The grounds have been
so graded and drained that no water
can enter the tents.
Bedding consists of one mattress,
one comfort, one blanket, two sheets
and one feather pillow for each per-
son. There will be at all times an
adequate supply of bed linen and
such will be kept scrupulously clean.
Two people will be assigned to
each tent. Four may occupy one
tent ifdesired.
Separate Mushrooms will be proyid-
ed for men and women. These
washrOOms will be equipped with
mirrors, brushes and combs, wash
basins and liberal supply of towels.
The camp is brilliantly lighted
with 1000 candle power lights fur
nished by its own plant. Same is
enclosed with high, closely woven
wire fence and the entire island is
patrolled day and night by special
deputy sheriffs employed for the pur-
pose.
Sanitary arrangements are of the
very best approved by the health
authorities.
There will be large rest tent pro-
vided with tables, chairs, ETC., for
reading, writing, lounging, etc.
The bathing beach is one of the
finest known to fresh waters and
same is perfectly safe for children,
shallow water extending out to be-
tween 200 and 400 feet.
No intoxicants sold on the grounds.

SIDE TRIPS
ARE GREAT

In addition to the superior delights
Of the camp there are many side
trips which may be enjoyed at slight
additional costs.
To Wsilaceburg, canada.--By
naptha launch. Half day the round
trip. Route via the beautiful Sny-
Carte river, skirting for miles the
Indian reservation, in close touch
with their tepees and mode of Giving.
One hour at Wall.ceburs. Round
trip IS cents.
To Mt. Clemens, Mich.--who
has not heard of this wonderful
health resort: This trip is made in
small passenger steamer. The
distance is 20 miles the round trip.
1t requires eight hours to make it,
and the cost is so cents.
To St. Clair Flats-The Venice
of America, and known the world
over by virtue of the great United
States ship canal. Distance go miles.
Time, half day, including three land
ings. Rate CSC the round trip.
To WaIpole IsIand.-The noble
Red Man is rapidly passing away.
Few of the present generation has
ever had an opportunity to see him
in the pristine glory of his aboriginal
environment. A whole day spent
among'them is day well spent. 1t
costs 10 cents the round trip to Wal
pole Island. The launch ride across
the water is more than worth the
money.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

T OS ANGELES chamber of COM
IL merce is determined to increase
"A the membership to 5000, and the
membership committee calls on all
members for cooperation in recon-
mending candidates. The work of the
chamber of commerce has been in
creased so much in scope that 1t needs
new members; and with an early pros
pect of changes and expansion that
may be necessary in adjusting the or
ganization to the needs of Greater Los
Angeles it is obvious timely prepara-
ton will be an economy.
We do not think there should be any
difficulty in recruiting enough active
members to bring the total enrolment
up to 5000. Every member should take
part in the work by suggesting one or
more new candidates for membership.
The success of consolidation and the
prospect of Greater Los Angeles should
help to bring new members into what
is the central business organization of
our city, and undoubtedly will be the
central business organization of the
greater city.
We wish success to the canvass for
members of our plucky, enterprising,
public-spirited Greater Los Angeles
chamber of commerce.

BISHOPS TOUR

A TRIP abroad of the Catholic bishop
N is of interest outside of the church
"A of which he is a dignitary. Bishop
Conaty who is popular among all
classes of the community, irrespective
ney to Rome. After visiting the pom
tiff he will tour Europe. We hope the
good bishop will not misunderstood us
or take us amiss when we say we be-
lieve he will be the means of giving
Los Angeles a big advertisement of
most desirable kind.
He will no doubt be called on to
answer innumerable questions concern
ing California, it's climate, the prospect
it presents to ambitious people desir-
Gus of making a living. And he Will
be often asked to speak in public He
will neglect no opportunity of Impress
ing on the European mind the fact that
Los Angeles is the metropolis OF the
far west.
We believe he will tell all inquirers
Los Angeles is not land-locked, but in
San Pedro has the finest, safest and
most commodious harbor on the coast.
He will also tell them an abundant
supply of water for power as we'll as
for other purposes is guaranteed and
that the present numerous manufacture
ing plants will increase their capacity
and their output, while many new fac
tories will be added At San Pedro, the
harbor of Los Angeles, vast import
and export trade will be built up with
Central and South America, Austral-
asia and the orient by way of the Pa
cific ocean and Europe and the Atlantic
states by way OF the Panama canal
We hope Bishop Conaty may have d
pleasant trip. and we look forward with
pleasure to the benefit which Los An
geles will receive from the bishops
boom.

CALLS CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
OPPOSITE OF SUGGESTION

. LOS ANGELES, April 9.-[Editor
Herald: A correspondent in your Let
ter, Box of April is of the opinion that
Regard for Hygienic Laws Beats
Christian Science" To this view he
is certainly entitled and comment Is
unnecessary, but when he makes the
statement that Christian Science is "A
Species of Suggestion and that 1t Is
not divine system, correction Is called
for.
The Christian Science method is the
direct opposite of that of hypnotism,
suggestion or mental science. 1t Is
the method of Jesus and his disciples,
who relied entirely upon their under
standing of God and his laws to heal
the sick and sinful.
Suggestion seeks to alleviate suffer-
ing through the substitution of oppo-
site conditions, while Christian Science
destroys erroneous conditions by a
knowledge of the truth, which the Mas
ter said would free us.
The vast difference between sugges-
ton and Christian Science is clearly
shown in their respective fruits. Sug-
gestion may be used by Christian or
non Christian with equal results. Not
so with Christian Science, which can
only be demonstrated by those who are
constantly endeavoring to model their
lives after the Christ pattern.
Again, suggestion may get results
without reference to the moral or spir-
itual nature of the patient, while
Christian Science can only get results
through the spiritual improvement of
the Individual. This fact proves the
divinity of Christian Science. Its ac-
complishments cannot be duplicated in
any other way. Christ's way is the
only one through which mortals may
find true and permanent healing. Mel
Their is there salvation in any other:
for there is none other name under
heaven given among men whereby we
must be saved" Acts 4:12.
True saving is always from God, of
whom the Psalmist said, who for
giveth all thine iniquities; who healeth
all thy diseases"
Time and time again 1t has been
pointed out that Christian Science is
the practice of primitive Christianity,
and that it is in no way allied to hyp-
notism, suggestion, mental science, new
thought or the Emmanuel movement
Regardless of this our critics still con-
tinue to declare that Christian Science
is something which it is not. 1t would
seem reasonable to suppose that those
who sufficiently understand the princi-
pie of Christian Science to heal the sick
should be able better to explain its
teachings and practice than those who
do not possess this knowledge and abil-
ity. WILLIAM &c. BROWN.

DECLARES NAZARENE DIVINE
AND GIVES HIS DEDUCTIONS

LOS ANGELES, April 9.-[Editor
Herald: The Apostle Peter and others
doubtless knew the facts touching the
life of Christ and they surely could not
have been mistaken regarding the in
cidents with reference to his death,
resurrection and ascension. They GER
tainly knew their companion and as
sociate and knew him we'll. If he did
not heal the sick and raise the dead
they knew he did not If he was or was
not crucifed, buried and resurrected
they must have known the facts, Tor IL
is not reasonable for us to conclude
they could have been deceived and
misled touching these matters They
testified in the affirmative in all these
things, and knowing the facts as they
must have we must accept their tes-
timony; otherwise we would have to
conclude that they willingly, yes. glad
ly, misrepresented the facts and will
ingly sealed their testimony with their
liberty and with their lives. That they
suffered thus to establish as fact
what they knew was not fact Is a
conclusion that Is not in keeping with
common or uncommon thought. There
fore we conclude that Christ was cru
Gifted, that he was buried, that he
was resurrected and that he assembled
to heaven.
1t surely is difficult for thoughtful
men to conclude that any man, rich
or poor, black or white, high or low,
wise or unwise. good or bad, would
espouse an unpopular cause and cling
to it earnestly when his claims subject
ed him to the most cruel treatment II
he knew at the same time that the
claims he made were not based on facts.

MEYER L1ssNER

HTILLIAM j. HUNSAKER, retiring
w president of the City club, in in
PRODUCING Meyer Lissner as the
speaker before that body last Saturday,
took occasion to say:
MIR. Lissner's lahors and efforts have
not been confined merely to those things
in which this club has been engaged.
For several years Los Angeles has been
working for better conditions politically
and better conditions in this municipal
ity. He has devoted more time to this
work than any other man in this COM
munity, and he has done it intelligently,
fearlessly and unselfishly. His has been
the lot of every other man who goes
into politics, not for the spoils of Office
nor for what there is in It,, but with a
view only to the betterment of condi-
tions. He has been misunderstood. mis-
represented and maligned but notwitb-
standing all this, he has gone ahead
steadily with the one purpose in view
and he is living now to see that his
efforts have not been in vain.''
Los Angeles is fortunate in possess
ing citizens of the type of Mr.. Lissner.
The influence for good of such citi-
zen, especially the influence of his ex-
ample on the younger men of the com
munity, is incalculable.
He may truly be called city builder,
because he builds the CHARACTER of
the city, and a city founded upon
staunch, true character cannot fail to
attract citizens whose residence and
work will contribute to the coming Pa
cific supremacy of Los Angeles. When
we speak of the builders of Los An
giles we should always assign high
place to the CHARACTER BUILDERS
of Los Angeles, for they are the Master
Builders, and Meyer Lissner is one of
the worthiest and one of the best of

GREATER LOS ANGELES

CONSOLIDATION will give Los An
geles one of the foremost places
~ among the cities of the United
States. Greater Los Angeles, with its
seaport, San Pedro, will have many adj
vantages over any other city on the
Pacific coast, and must shortly be rec
ognized as the principal city of the
west. With the completion of the
Panama canal, our city will have the
best water routes of the western and
eastern hemispheres at its command,
and from maritime point of view
will enjoy dominant position. With
water routes in competition with rail-
roads, the question of rates will never
be difficult of adjustment. Where wa
ter transportation completes with land
rates, gouging becomes almost impos-
sible. When we marvel at the COM
mercial supremacy to which the United
Kingdom is holding on with dogged
persistency, we should not forget the
insular position of Britain is distinctly
in it's favor
Many of the trade routes of the
OnlIeQ OIdleS are ram Odu AOuIS9b O'iN
the railroads have a great deal to say
about American commercial develop
ment Most of the trade routes of the
United Kingdom are water routes, and
shipping interests ARE greater than
railroad interests.
1t is not wonderful the United King
dom continues to do an astonishing
export trade as we'll as big import
trade. With it's waterways-which are
the oceans and seas of all the world
it can operate, not at disadvantage
with railroaded continental countries
or our own big, railroaded continent,
but at a marked advantage.
If our shipping interests are alive to
their opportunities, it must lose some of
that advantage when the Panama canal
is completed. We believe many Ameri-
can bi-oceanic lines will be established,
and San Pedro, the harbor of Greater
Los Angeles, will be factor in bring
ing about the commercial supremacy
of the United States on sea as we'll as
on land.

AFTER EASTER

MASTER was celebrated in Los An
n geles in the usual way, by superb
- musical church services and
fashionable parade and exhibition of
spring styles and millinery. All the
churches were crowded and no city in
the United States had more or better
music. And now it is latter Easter"
and we may all settle down to spring
business. Since Los Angeles is safely
on the way to the 100000 mark in pop
ulation there is every incentive to her
citizens to bend with a will to the task
of making the city greater and better
We hope interest in the government
of the city will not slacken because of
the success of the reform forces. On
the contrary, we hope our citizens will
continue to take an active, keen per-
sonal interest in municipal government,
and that The Herald will be able to
report every council meeting is attend
ed by such crowds of enthusiastic citi-
zens that every available seat will be
taken and all the standing room, too.
Keep on the qui vive, citizens; and

AUSTRALASIA

n NE of the results of the develop
% ment of San Pedro harbor will be
" an increase of interest in Austria
lasia. Citizens of Australia are seldom
found in the United States. New Zea-
papers of Australia and New Zealond
are not read here. News items from
Australia and New Zealand are sell
dom published here. Indeed. it is hard
to realize there is only a stretch of
easily navigated ocean between Los
Angeles and an island continent which
is destined to be one of the greatest
and most powerful countries of the
world; and the island country of New
Zealand the scene of nearly all the
government, the pioneer of advanced
political theories.
The influence of Australia and New
Zealand has already been felt in the
United States to an extent out of all
proportion to the size of the respective
populations of our country and the
newer nations. Australia worked out a
system of balloting, while New Zealand
put in practice some social experiments
regarded by many citizens of the
United States as radical or advanced.
1t is unfortunate for the western
United Staes that knowledge of our
cousins across the big pond which
washes our shores should be so scanty.
This so-called new world" is old. The
newer world is that which lies under
the Southern Cross and which in
brief existence has had to plan its
own national life and shape its own
future-one of greatness, prosperity and
usefulness to mankind. The determine
ton of Australia to effect reform in
balloting by which the will Of the peo-
pie would be expressed without cor
rupt interference was no less praise
worthy than New Zealand's magnifi-
cent attempt to abolish destitute pow
erty and establish conditions which
would help bring about the greatest
good for the greatest number.
