by a steam plant on shore in a CEN
trail location. The plant should be
large enough-say 5000 or 6OOO-horse
power-to run not only both dredges
but the relay plants as well.
Building public harbor is no
child's play, but the most serious
undertaking possible. 1t must be
gone into thoroughly and carefully,
and no plan adopted until full dis
cussion has shown it to be the best,
all things considered.
State Control Not Solution
And it must not be forgotten that
some at least Of the advocates of a
state harbor commission are still
urging that as a solution. 1t is
their belief that if consolidation can
be delayed until the next legisla-
ture meets a state harbor commits
sion will be appointed. Do the har-
Dor towns realize what that would
mean? No public money, except
what little the harbor towns can
raise, can be spent prior to January
/. 1914, and probably not for long
time thereafter. Why? Because
harbor bonds must be provided for
by the legislature and voted on at
the next general election eighteen
months after the legislature al
journs. In that way the earliest
vote that could be taken on harbor
bonds for San Pedro would be the
fall Of 1918.
But that isn't all. Bonds for San
Francisco and San Diego were pro-
vided for by the Legislature that has
Just adjourned, and they will be
voted on by the whole state in the
fall of 1911.
When the people interested in
those two harbors (and they COM
prise two-thirds of the population
of the state) have all the bonds they
want it is just possible they
wouldn't vote bonds for rival
port.
L have assumed that Wilmington,
too, will consolidate, because the
greater portion of the west basin
is in the latter city. If Whining
ton should not consolidate that
might change the whole complexion
of the problem. But that is a detail
easily settled compared with the
greater problem Of harbor develop
ment along the best and most
feasible lines.

there is only one hard spot in the
whole basin.
The government dredge-including
its own cost, together with offlce
and all other expenses connected
with the work-will have removed
by the time the turning basin is
finished a little over 100000 CUBIC
yards, at a total cost of lib cents
per yard, despite much hard ma
terial delay from passing vessels,
etc.
A fill of twelve feet in the west
basin will take about 100000 yards,
and fifteen feet about 1O,00O,0OO
yards, but in any event the surplus
dredgings can be pumped to sea by
two relay plants. if needed.
In brief, to deepen the inner mar
Dor as far as the turning basin to
thirty-five feet. and the entire west
basin to the same depth, will cost
$500, 600 and $3.50. 900 and S1,2O0,OOa, or
S1,SS0,0 00-say $1,000 900.
Then spend 81 900, 900 in wharves,
bulkheads, a fine road to the center
of San Pedro, and another up
through Wilmington, and what a
magnificent harbor the public would
have. And how incomparably bet
ter for San Pedro and Los Angeles,
besides being equally as good for
Wilmington Along established har-
Dor lines there are about $4,000 feet
of frontage in the west basin, Of
which about $4,000 feet is along the
main channels or basin, and in ad-
dition there is about 400 acres of
land, as against 100 acres in the
outer harbor.

For World Renowned Harbor

ana N0arNeS throughout nut II Will
go a very long way toward it. Sup
pose 1t costs $750,000 more, and then
suppose Los Angeles spends, say,
$3.50, 900 in the east basin, where
the amount of dredging to get thirty
or thirty-five feet over all chan
nels and basins is about 70 per cent
more than in the west basin. That
whole expenditure would not be
completed in less than ten years,
but what a world-renowned harbor
it would he. There would be then,
say, $4,000 feet of frontage, with
thirty-five feet of water at low tide.
And to double this amount of 'front.'
age by the addition of slips would
cost far less than the first $4,000
feet.
They say that this cannot be got
ten ready in two years, True.
Neither can you get the whole outer
harbor improvements ready in two
years. With this plan, however,
you can get 1900 feet and-if East
San Pedro shall be decided to be in
San Pedro-you can add 900 feet
more, or make 200 feet of frontage
with twenty-five feet of water avail
able in less than one year, and this
can be deepened to thirty feet in
the same time, if IL is decided to be
necessary. The 1900 feet is opposite
Deadman's island, and the 900 feet
begins about $500 feet above that
island.
Then the present wharfage in
front of San Pedro would early get
the thirty-five feet, vastly to the
benefit of the city of San Pedro, be-
cause the wharves are at their very
doors instead of one and one-half
miles away. Then, too, the future
growth of San Pedro must be north
ward because the ocean stops a
southwest growth, and if news
paper accounts are correct 173 acres
of Point Firmin will be needed for

TAFT STARTSON
HIS LONG TRIP
IN TWO WEEKS
RECORD BREAKING PRESIDENT
IAL TOUR TO BEGIN ON SEPT

BY Associated Press.

Beverly, Mass, Aug. S1.-Two
weeks from today President Taft will
leave Beverly on what will prove to
be a record breaking presidential
tour. The presidents first stop will
be in Boston the evening of Septem-
Der 4, where he will be the guest of
honor at a banquet given by the Bos-
ton Chamber of Commerce. The fol-
lowing morning he will start on 49,
900 mile journey back to Washington.
The way to the national capital will
lead through Seattle, Los Angeles,
the Grand Canon, the tip-end of
southern Texas, the Mississippi and
many other points east and west.
President Taft is looking forward to
the beginning of the trip with mixed
emotions He is anxious TO visit the
various places included in his timer
airy, and is never happier than when
travelling, but at the same time he has
expressed himself as terribly sorry"
that his vacation days are so soon to
end. He appears IN the best possible
condition. He attributes this largely
to the physical culture exercises he
INDUCES in for an hour every morn

TRIP OUT INTO GULF, FEAST
At THE PAVILION, AND SURF

Yesterday was carrier boy day
on The Journal and big day IL was.
The boys and The Journal had been
looking forward to the day for some
time, but uncertain weather had in
terfered until yesterday when the
sun, the temperature, and all nature
itself seemed to conspire 70 make the
day Just what it was-an occasion
long to be remembered by poth the
boys and The journal.
At eleven o'clock the big sea-Koing
tug Monarch steamed away from
Palafox wharf with q party fifty
strong OF happy boys and equally
happy adults who had the privilege
Of accompanying them
In charge OF the party were Mr..
HerT1dor, circulation manager OF The
Journal with his two assistants, e.
Seegel and J. Warner; Mr.. MayeS and
Rev. J. s. Sibley.A Two professional
life savers, both fine swimmers. were
also along to guard against accident
and TO ensure the safe return of
every one of The Journals young
charges.
Straight down the harbor the Mon
arch steamed, out past the navy yard,
the deep channel into tho open Cult.
To most of the boys this trip into the
gulf was a new experience aud they
enjoyed 1t to the utmost
Returning to the Monarch pavilion
on Santa Rosa Island the party found
one of those famous fish dinners
waiting and with appetites, already
whetted to an acute degree the
youngsters fell to with a vigor that
was good to contemplate.
Grace was said before the meal by
Rev. Mr.. Sibley and at the eonclu-
sion short addresses were made by
Mr.. Herrtdor, Mr.. Sibley and Mr..
Mayes.
Then an hours entertainment by
photograph and the boys donned
their bathing suits and tumbled into
the surf, the entire party reaching
home safe and sound at $3.50 D. m.
The Journal thinks q great deal OF
its carrier force-the boys who tum-
BILE out of bed in the early hours OF
the morning long before daylight
while everyone else is asleep and in
all kinds of weather. On these boys
depends largely the success OF the
paper itself and in these boys is the
already active and dominant spirit or
many Of our biggest business men in
may own papers of their own and
hire carrier boys to serve them, as
they are now serving The Journal
Some Of them will become merchants
and their advertising patronage Will
form a part of The Journals business.
All of them probably will take and
read some paper, probably The
Journal, and other carrier boys will
deliver the paper to them as they are
delivering IL to The Journals readers
now.
Next year The Journal proposes to
give a carrier day" on q somewhat
more extended scale. 1t does not
want to tell now just what 1t has in
contemplation, because that will keep,
but it wants the carrier boys to begin
to get ready for the day and 1t be-
lieves a bigger time even can be had
than the one experienced yesterday.
