we have a profitable and growing

Several years ago a line OF steamers

route between Panama and the orr

have a tremendous influence upon the
trade to all inland ports of the country
near the Pacific ocean. What has been
said of ships coming from the orient di-
rectly applies with double the force in
regard to the shipping which would fall
to our lot from the east. The nearest
place to the great circle route between
Panama and the orient having all these
advantages will claim the trade;
'It would be difficult to find more
strategic point for distributing goods
than Los Angeles, because we are not
forced to ship in one direction. Besides
being able to freight north and south
along the coast by rail and water, we

but transport to entirely different re-
gions. The distance Is practically as
short to all eastern points as from any
instances even a little shorter. The
grades seem to be more even In the
southern part Of the country: and there
is no reason why we should not make
better time than roads out of San Fran
cisco. OF course, to points in the south
west we have by far the advantage OF
any other city on this seaboard. Going
to Arizona and New Mexico the rail-
roads have to pass through or very near
to Los Angeles. From San Francisco
this would necessitate an extra haul Of
nearly 500 miles, and from Puget sound
ports Of over LOCO miles"
Undoubtedly every word of this is true.
Why should not the steamers that are
coming through the Panama canal land
their cargoes at Los Angeles or San
Diego. which are twentyfour hours
nearer Europe than San Francisco, and
thereby save two or three hundred miles
haul to the Mississippi river? Why do
not the steamers for Australia and New
Zealand sail from Los Angeles or San
Diego instead Of Vancouver? They could
save a thousand miles of sailing IL they
did so. and very nearly as much in rail
transportation. because the largest por-
tions Of their cargoes originate in the
United States and have to be shipped to
Vancouver to be loaded.

Increased Commerce Expected.

Already five steamship lines touch at
this port, and when the Panama canal is
| finished the people believe that their har-
Dor will be filled with ships from all ma
tions, and that their trade will be in
creased a thousand fold. Their expecta-
| tons are excited beyond reason.
| There is not a doubt the harbor Is the
best between Puget sound and Panama.
While it Is not SO large as the Bay of
San Francisco. 1t possesses none of the
dangers that are always confronting
ships that try to enter the Golden Gate
in a fog. No vessel has ever been driven
| ashore or lost through treacherous cur
rents or bad weather in the neighborhood
of San Diego. The harbor has an area of
twenty-five square miles; there is thirty
| feet of water on the bar, and the chan
mel Is between thirty-fve and seventy
feet deep. movement is already on
foot to reclaim nearly thousand acres
of tide land at the head of the bay for
docks, warehouses and commercial pur-
poses, which will cost about $5,OOO.OOO
but, 1t is believed. will prove profitable
investment for the city.
The confidence of the people In the
benefits to be derived from the opening
of the Penama canal Is extraordinary, yet
nobody on this coast. so far as can dis
cover. is building ship. They expect
consider that their part is done when
they have digged the channel and built
the docks.
The same extraordinary expectation Is
felt at Los Angeles. which also has a
seaport and an artificial harbor at San
Pedro, about eighteen miles from the city
hall. The United States government has
spent 50 100000 In building breakwaters
three miles long to protect the entrance
to a little river which has been dredged
out for a mile and a half. The channel IS
400 feet wide and twenty-five feet deep
and can be extended indefinitely by the
use of steam shovels as the increasing bust
ness of the port may require. The area
Of the harbor is 565 acres. There is a
turning basin LOO feet in diameter. fhe
breakwater is a complete protection and
extends fourteen feet above low water.
Land has been purchased by the United
States government upon the surrounding
bluffs for an extensive system OF fortifi-
cations to protect the harbor.
A Long Fight With Huntington.
There was long fight between the citi-
zens of Los Angeles and the late c. P.
Huntington. who wanted the government
to build a harbor at Santa Monica, about
twenty miles north and about eight miles
nearer to the city. The Southern Pacific
had already spent large sum of money
building breakwaters, piers and ware
houses. but the general public. the ship
ping interests and the land spectators
were determined that the Southern Pa
cific should not control the situation, and
! insisted upon new legation and govern
