NAVY SECRETARY WILL
INSPECT LOCAL HARBOR
Cabinet Member viii Be Shown
Plans for Fortifying San
Pedro Heights

Secretary of the Navy George vpn L.
Never is on the Pacific coast inspect
ing conditions in contemplation OF
sending a fleet here to properly pro-
tect the western shores of the United
States, and he is expected In. Los An
geles within a few weeks TO inspect
Los Angeles harbor and improvements.
The secretary has already started
his tour, beginning at Seattle, where
he has been looking over the haroor
Facilities, getting a knowledge of what
must be done before the Pacific. coast
will be in a position to properly main
stain a battleship fleet.
According to Mr.. Meyer, this coast at
present as far as he has inspected 1t,
~could not properly care for fleet,
even il it were here. He stated in
seattle that the harbor would not ac-
commodate more than half of the
smallest ships in the navy, much less
the larger battlesnips. Nor could the
San Francisco bay near Mare Island
navy yard be used successfully for
such a purpose, according to the sec
retary, although for different reason.
At Mare island the great deposits of
silt from the Sacramento and San Joa-
ouin rivers would prohibit the fleet
making that port a permanent base.
When he arrives here Mr.. Meyer will
be taken on an inspection tour Of the
Los Angeles harbor, be shown the
plans for it's Improvement and also the
plans of the war department for forti-
fying the heights above the harbor
At the time of his visit it is possible
that the much talked of plan of MAX
ing Los Angeles harbor a naval base
on this coast will be brought to a head
and some definite announcement made.
Already it is rumored that the war
department is planning on establish
ing the finest preside on the Pacific
coast here, and 1t is possible that the
navy will also establish fighting base.
The exact date for the secretary's ar
rival here has not been made public.

RAILWAY MAIL CLERKS
FILE EXPENSE ACCOUNTS

Railway mail clerks made out their
first accounts of expenses incurred
while travelling on duty when away
from their headquarters, allowed by
act of congress May ~, 1910, for the
quarter ending with September, this
month.
This act allows each clerk q daily
expense account of rs cents while
travelling, but as the appropriation
made for this purpose allows a pay
ment of only 80 per cent of this amount
the clerks will be paid at that ratio.
However, 1t is expected that the new
appropriation made by congress for
this purpose will allow a full payment
of the expense allowance the act calls

coLoNIST RUSH IS AT HEIGHT

With the low colonist rates from the
east In effect again, the Pullman COM
pany expects more than two hundred
tourist cars to arrive here within the
next week crowded with tourists and
coIonists. The rates will be In erect
until October 10, and as they are last
low rates for this season the rush Is
increasing each day.
The Southern Pacific, with seven
trains on which colonists are per-
mitted to travel arriving every day.
will probably bring In about one hun
dred cars between now and the time
the rush season closes. The Santa Fe,
operating three tourist trains, will
bring in the neighborhood of sixty
cars, while the Salt Lake, with only
two trains which haul tourist cars.
will bring about forty cars.
The Salt Lake route had five cars
of colonists yesterday, expects seven
cars in today, seven tomorrow, and
nine on Thursday, the final day OF low
rates. The number of tickets sold Tor
the last day, October 10, has made 1t
necessary to run train No. 7, the Los
Angeles Limited, in two sections on
this date, a fact which indicates clear
ly the class of passengers who are
coming according to the local officials
of that line.
1.-THE great amount OF adVertlslnS
the Salt Lake did in the middle west
last year is beginning to bear fruit
now," said T. C. Peck, general pas
senger agent for that line, yesterday.
1--WE advertised Southern California
and Los Angeles throughout the east
and Mississippi valley states, and now
we have them coming as result or
that advertising. We had Professor
George King of Pasadena lecturing on
the beauties and climatic conditions OF
this section OF the world all last sum-
mer. travelling from place to place de-
livering at least five lectures week,
and the result justifles our belief that
II the people are once made to under
stand lust what a garden spot of the
world Southern California is they will
come here to stay"
The greater portion OF the tourists
who are coming In now are from the
middle west. In fact, Mr.. Peck stated
yesterday that In his opinion tho
greater portion of them come directly
from the state of Iowa and from the
Dakotas.
