P. A. Hooper, special agent for the
Los Angeles Hawaiian Steamship
company, explained the advantages of

AS matter of fact, the railroads and
steamship companies are friendly" he
said.
"The Panama canal was construct

It's up to the Arizona wool growers
to recognize the fact that shipping
via the canal is money in their pock
cts.

rights during the past few years, the
interstate commerce commission fl
nally consents to grant a lower base
of class between Los Angeles and Ari-
zona."
