LOS ANGELES CAN DO IT
The announcement In the Sunday
Herald that n gr»nt world* fair— ln
fact, th« . greatest of all th» world's
fair*— tvlil M held In X.™ Angele 1 " ha«
created ■ th* profound**! Interest
throughout California and the west.
Th» news has sent a thrill of pride
and pleasure pulsing Into every heart
and caused every Angeleno to atep a
little hri«kor and hold hi* head a little
higher.
Paper* In the legal formality of In
corporating the "Universal Peace and
Commerce Exposition company" had
progressed «o far last night that th»
names of two-thlrda of the millionaire
lint Of Incorporators had been appended
to the document, and the remaining
signature* will ho affixed today. The
capitalization of »25,000,000, subscribed
by those who are amply able and will
lngI Ing to finance the great enterprise,
signifies that the long-expected project
has been taken up In earnest and that
from this day forward Los Angeles
will be, In truth and fact, "the world's
Fair City."
ltI It la a big undertaking, unquestion
ably, that Lou Angeles has announced
to the world. It Is nothing less than a
purpose to present In this city an In
ternational exposition that will dwarf
every effort of the kind heretofore at
tempted In the world. The famous ex
positions In Paris, Chicago, St. Louis and
other cities will not be In the same class
with the greater and grander display
that may be expected from the tenta
tive plan for the Los Angeles exposition.
No doubt this colossal proposition
docs .*oem, to übp tho vprnnciilar, like
bltlna; off a chunk too big for convenient
mastication. But, however thnt may be,
thp record of Los Angeles for doing big
things warrants the judgment that the
job will be tacklpri with the confidence,
prosecuted with the pnergy and iom
plfted with the perfect success that al
ways can be counted on In this city's
undertaking's.
Formidable as the proposition ap
y?iir«i, n little consideration convince*
thnt it Is well within the limit of this
city's ability to handle. Taking into
account the local probabilities In the
period Intervening before the year
designated for thp. exposition, the moun
tain of difficulty shrinks to the propor
tions of a hill.
In 1915 Los Angoles will have a popu
lation larger than any of the American
CitlM had at the time of its world's ex
position, with the single exception of
Chicago. That Los Angeles will have a
population of at least 1,000,000 In 1915 Is
as plain as the figures of a simple
mathematical problem. A contlnuanoc
of growth at the rate shown during the
last two or three years will assure that
showing nine years hence, and we may
safely assume that the future ratio of
growth will be more rapid than that of
the past.
Los Ang-eles not only will be in the
million population class of cities In 1915,
but It will be at the top In all the other
element* of metropolitan progress. It
will be, without a shadlow of doubt, the
metropolis of the great west; not only of
the Pacific coast but of the whole sec
tion of the United States west of the
Missouri river. It will be the chief
manufacturing and commercial center
of the west, a focus of railway sys
tems, having a harbor In touch with
the shipping of the world and an entre
pot for tho commerce of all nations.
This outlook at the Los Angeles of
1915 is not overdrawn. A glance back
ward at the progress of the city in the
last few years fully justifies this view
of the future. Los Angeles will be big
enough, progressive enough and rich
gzumgb to make a complete success of
its great Universal Pcacu and Com
merce exposition In 1915.
A fiance at the names of those who
are behind this colossal enterprise is
another fact sufficient to warrant pub
lic confidence— ut leust throuiihoul Cali-
Comtg in its oomplatl success. From
Mr. Henry K. lluntington down, al
most every man In the project is good
for more than a million dollars, while
some of them are multi-millionaires.
What themi men undertake Is always a
success. It could not be otherwise.
Hence there will be, from the start,
universal enthusiasm and co-operation.
Moreover there will be Intense Interest
in the development of the plans, tame
of which are reported to be In a for
ward state of completion, because every
patriotic citizen of California desires to'
participate In the progress and prepara
tion of tha greatest and most unique
world's fair ever yet held.

LOS ANGELES HERALD: TUESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 13. IQOfi
GOOD MORNING, SAN PIEDRO
Ltm Angeles r«Ache« to the door of
San Pedro this morning, and one short
•t»ri more will make Los Angeles a sea
port.
The voto for annexation was de-. 1
clftlvely In the affirmative, both In the
city and along the territory annexed—
with one exception, namely, the town
of Oardena, which had been wrongly
advised that there would be trouble
over the public schools. Needless to
say, every Arrangement will bo made to
accommodate the people of the annexed
territory with everf publlo facility now
afforded Pico Heights or any other
portion of Los Ant-Hen. There will be
no discrimination, and there I* no
reason why the high schools should
not be equally open to every child
I within the city limit*. All these details
are capable of rapid adjustment, and
;If the people of Gardens had made
their objections known sooner they
could have been shown and satisfied,
as they will yet be.
Ascot Park I* now within the city
limits' and will come under the provis
ions of the existing law prohibiting
pool selling— the same taw that caused
the removal of racing from Agricul
tural park to Ascot. Whether annexa
tion will stop the Coming Ascot season
depends upon the city council, and the
date of Its ordinance establishing the
new territory as a portion of Los An
gel eg. • "
Altogether, the territory added yes
terday to the boundaries of the city Is
a gigantic stride toward the. sea. We
are now next door neighbor to the
great San Pedro harbor, and In posi
tion to receive the city of San Pedro
as an integral part of the city of Los
Angeles. The union of the twin cities
cannot now be long delayed.
CURBING LIQUOR TRAFFIC
A minor result of the recent election
I" especially pleasing to all paojUfl Of
Los Anifi-lcH county who hnve the best
IntWmtl of the community at heart.
This relates to the quite general ver
fllct of voters dwelling In the district*
outside of Incorporated towns against
the liquor saloon business. In the total
of fifty-five such districts only fifteen
voted In favor of liquor selling lIC4DMI,
and those fifteen are chiefly remote,
having comparatively small popula
tions.
The result thus Indicated Is the most
distinct and most gratifying victory
for the temperance cause, wo believe. |
ever achieved in Los Angeles county. I
It Is particularly gratifying to the
reputable people of this city because
tho non-licensing proposition prevailed
In a district adjoining Los Angeles In
which certain notorious road houses I
arc situated. In view of the Infamous I
character of these road | houses, they
might appropriately be called pest
houses, situated on the road to ruin.
It really la splendid headway that
Loh Angeles county Is making toward |
a check upon the Indiscriminate liquor I
traffic. The saloon business has been
eliminated In most of the cities, towns
and country districts. In Los Angeles
the complete eradication of the saloon
Is not feasible. In view of the metro
politan character of the city, but tha
rein of restraint upon the traffic la
gradually tightening.
It is an Interesting coincidence that
Just at the time when so large a pro
portion of the country districts were I
voting down the licence proposition,
the authorities of this city were giv
ing the saloons another turn of the
thumb-screw. The cost of licenses per |
month was marked up Ho per cent, the
advance yielding to the city treasury j
an Increase equal to $90,000 a year.
And an important Incidental gain
should bo noted in the discovery that
the license mark-up affords a ready
means of providing funds for increas
ing the efficiency of the police service.
The strides thus made in the direc
tion of restraining the liquor traffic In
this city and county will have a salu
tary effect among eastern people who
are considering the question of home
seeking in this section. Los Angeles
already is distinguished abroad for
having a smaller number of saloons
per capita than any other large Amer
ican city, and particularly for its In
flexible purpose not to permit an In
crease In the arbitrary number that
was fixed when the city's population
was less than one-third of what it is
Nothing Is quite so urgently needed
In Lob Angeles as the opening of those
1.i.-w KhOO] building*. Why the delay?!
Los Angeles is now within sight of
the sea.

ON THE TRAIL
WITH 30.000 SHEEP
Discomforts end Dangers of a Re.
markable Drive from New
Mexico to Nebraska
V mm the New York Evening Pn«».
To travel 1000 miles on foot with So.
000 00 sheep I* a stupendous undertaking,
y«t this feat was accomplished re
cently by seventeen herders, headed by
n . H. Daly, a llv« stork dealer and
ranchman of Omaha and Stevenson,
Neb. •
Mr. Daly passed through New York
the other day on hid way to the Cana
man northwest on a business trip, and
at the AMor how*" gave a vivid de
jorlptlon of him the «h<', ,, were herded.
The journey win from Santa F« In
Jew Mexico to Htevenaon In Central
Nebraska, and It nn« undertaken pri
marily to defeat the railroad company.
" I have for over twenty-five years
been engaged In the handling of sheep,
being what Is called a 'sheep feeder,' "
he said. "A (sheep feeder' Is a man
who receives the animals from the
ran*™ into the feed Jots, where they
■re fattened for market, and he la dis
tinguished from a 'breeder,' who growl
hi* sheep on the range. Last March I
contracted with a Mexican living In
Hanta F». to buy 30,000-nheep.
"Owing to a difficulty with the rail
way company In the matter of freight
rates, 1 determined to have the sheep
'trailed through' to Nebraska, which,
lnI In western .parlance, means driving
them overland. I selected my men at
the same time i contracted for the
sheep. 1 also procured two of the heav
iest 'grub' wagons I had on my ranch,
four strong mules find two good saddle
horses, together with all camp utensils
and other necessaries for the trip. The
wagon*, mules, etc., I sent down to
Santa Fe by freight. Altogether there
were seventeen men In my company de
tailed to bring the sheep through.
Sheep from Bmall Ranches
"Arriving at Hanta Fe, We at once
set about getting thr. sheep ready for
thfl long drive. The Mexican with
whom I had contracted for the 30,000
had, In turn, subcontracted with num
erous small Mexican ranchmen for thn
required number. His agreement was
to deliver at Hanta Fe the specified'
number und quality of animals. Thorp
were several reasons for buying In this
way, For example, the Mexicans in
the outlying districts know nothing of
money drafts and checks, and gold
would have to accompany every pur
chase. And to travorse the wild hills
and canyons of New Mexico with
money in onn's possession would be
positive marhiess, unless, of course, one
had a well-armed company as a body
guard.
"The withers wero started on their
1000-mile trip to Nebraska, divided Into
five bands, each In charge of a herrlor
on foot. One extra man went along to
act as night watcher. The cook trav
eled In the wagon and the foreman of
the gang rode on horseback.
"On the following day John Martin,
my foreman, and I undertook to count
the 18,000 lambs. As on the first day,
we. were well under way, when we dis
covered another fraud. One of my men
detected a 'greaser' In the act of driving
a small band, which had been counted
and turned out around through a ravine
and back toward the hosts of sheep
waiting to enter the first corral. We
stopped the swindle in time, however.
I then scattered my men out at all
points where fraud might be attempted,
and then proceeded with the count. A
peculiarity of these Mexican gentle
men Is that they do not seem at all
embarrassed when detected in dishon
est tricks. A failure or two never de
ters them from trying it again at the
first opportunity.
Putting the Lambs In the Lead
"Our 18,000 lambs were run in six
bands, with a herder in charge of each.
We left Santa Fe on the first day of
May, and the weather was hotter than
blazes. On the second day we discov
ered that the wethers ahead of us were
getting the best of the feed and not
leaving enough tender stuff. So we
made a circuit around their camp, and
thn next morning the lambs were lead-
Ing the way.
"New Mexico Is always a dry region,
and the spring had been unusually dry,
so the grass was not very good and
the dust was dreadful. Dust, by the
way, Is always the worst feature of the
trail. Tho cloud that hangs over the
flock looks, from a distance, like the
smoke from a prairie fire. Our faces
were black most of the time but we
all wore shields of tinted Isinglass to

might have gone blind. The soil of the
region, I should explain, contains some

The waters are also tinged with alkali,
and this hurts the lips and throats.
On the Sun-Baked Plains
"From Las Vegas on into Colorado
the grass was burned brown with the
drought, and water was scarce. Of
course, we had to depend on ponds or
streams for our water supply. Some of
It was pretty thick — 'thick enough,' as
one of the boys said, 'to carry In a gun

particular when he is 'on the trail.'
Sheep are not great drinkers, and can
do without water if there are heavy
dews on the grass. But on this oc
casion the air was so dry that dews
were very light, and much of the time
there were none at all. Finally, we
were without water altogether, and for

five days the sheep had not a drop of

"We hoarded the little we had, but
at length it was all gone. For two

hadn't a drop for ourselves. We chewed
our dry bread and salt bacon, and
thought how good a cold drink would
taste. Qn the evening of the second
day the cook took a mule and rode
over to a little town eleven miles away
to get water. He hung a Jug over one
side of the mule, and then, just to make
It balance properly, hung a small dem
ijohn on the other. Every man had a
roaring: headache the next day.

were fully a mile from the bank when
the poor animals scented the water and

crowded together and reached the river
In a dense, struggling- mass. They
plunged in, climbing over each other,
and piling up until It looked aa if we
might lose tl.em all. We, of course,
plunged after them, towing, dragging
and throwing the sheep out of the river
until ever man was exhatißed. Wheiii
we got the flock out of the tangle we
found that at least 800 lambs had been!
drowned. I sent my foreman to warn]
th« other outfits to hold their flocks at
a safe distance from the river and!
bring on one band at a time.
"Of course we had to replenish our]
stores occasionally, and our cook would'
go across country to some town near us
when we needed something. Our prin
cipal fare was bread, bacon and gravy.
Bread was baked every day In the camp
kettle, and I can assure you it takes a
considerable quantity to feed nineteen
hungry men. It might be supposed that
we had mutton for dinner sometimes,
but we did not, though j had 30,000
sheep in front of us. Very few sheep
men will eat mutton. I myself would
have to be very hungry indeed to
eat It.
"We followed no roads, but struck out
across open country wherever forage
v/as good. At night we always tried to
find a hillside for the camp. Sheep hav^
a great many peculiar notions, and will
only He down quietly on a hillside. We
made only about eight miles a day, as
we gave the sheep plenty of time to
graze; but we were always tired enough
to crawl Into our tarpaulins at dark,
and lost no time in going to sleep.
While the rest of us slept the night
watch went his rounds, moving about
the edge of the camp and keeping a
sharp lookout for wolves.
Saw One Town In 900 Miles
"It wae early In summer when w#
started and we kept on through mil.
summer in the dry heat and alkull dust
till the grass was browned by frost.
Across Nebraska we took the straight
line for the Platte river, which we
reached, opposite North Platte— the
very first town I had seen in a Journey
of 900 miles. For the rest of our trip—
something over 100 miles— we zig-zagged
back and forth across the river, avoid
ing the towns and hunting for forage.
On one occasion we approached a large
cornfield, and I found that we could
save three miles by going through it
Instead of rounu. I Bald: Tuke 'em
through, 1 and we did. On the further
side stood a man with a shotgun wait
ing for us.
" 'What's the damuge?" I said.
" 'Twenty dollars, and not a cent
less,' answered the farmer.
"We raid, and on we went.
"We reached the little town of
Stevenson September 24— just about rtve
months from the day we started. The
second band had overtaken us, ami
we went through the town to my ranch
In the outskirts with the 29,000 odd
sheep. The tog of dust we raised nearly
smothered the place.
"The sheep came through the entire
drive In good condition— much better
than If they had been shipped in."
A Lucky Rescue
"I once had a very narrow escape in
a big railroad wreck."
"How did you escape?"
"I missed the train thut was wrecked
