Our Success.

With unconcealed pleasure the HER
AID announces that already it issues
each day to regular paying subscri-
bers, a greater number of copies than
any other newspaper published in Los
Angeles; and that its subscription list
is increasing at the rate of about 100
per week. Before the first month of
its publication shall end, the present
indications are that it will have more
legitimate paying subscribers than
both our contemporaries combined.
This proves that the citizens of Los
Angeles are willing to support enter
prise, and that when money is freely
expended in their behalf, they are
willing to bear their proportion Of the
expense.
On the first of November the HER
AID will be on paying basis; that is,
its receipts will fully meet its outgoes,
giving, of course, no return for the
money invested or the labor Of the
proprietors. This is an event rarely
happening in newspaper annals in the
second month of existence. Thus is
set at rest all doubts Of the financial
success of the enterprise, and renders
it q fixed fact. But the people of Los
Angeles ought not to expect money to
be invested in their behalf without a
return interest, norlabor without COM
pensation. Let them assist, and the
HERALD will accomplish for them a
hundred-fold return for their invest
ment.

through the temple by Frank Calla-
han. Callahan had taken supper at

a quarrel with him. He drew his
pistol. cooked it, and aimed it at +. r.
Syme, clerk and the son of the pro-
prietor. Rosenbaum, who was at the
dining table, on hearing the noise left
his seat and entered the bar-room.
As he did so, Callahan said; "There
is Rosenbaum, what has he to say
aboutit," then fired at him, killing
him instantly. Callahan made his
escape through the rear of the house
during the excitement that ensued.
The murderer did not give his victim
u chance to say word. ROsenbaum

LETTET FROM LOS NlETOS

Los NIETOs, October 10Th, 1873.
EDITOR HERALD.--The people of
this vicinity are all on tiptoe in antic-
ipatiOn of hearing the long looked for
and expected sound of the whistle of
the Nietos locomotive. In ten days
we expect to be more closely allied to
your Angelic city with iron bands, as
we are informed that the track from
Florence, in this direction, is being
laid at the rate Of two miles per day.
The Nietos depot, or the city of Me
tos, is all the rage. Who will be first
to lay corner stone, or drive the first
nail, at the site of this great city in
embryo. AS is characteristic with the
entire order of Odd Fellows to be al
ways ready and willing to take hold
and work in every enterprise that will
benefit the human family, whether it
be to improve and develop the barren
wastes, or to relieve the wants Of the
distressed, and educate the orphans,
Nietos Lodge, No. 1917, have through
their committee, selected 4 lot on
which they intend to erect building
to be used as hall. We hear the
question asked every day by persons
Interested, "Will the business of this
valley be concentrated at the DepOtw
We answer that if we do as we should,
for the benefit OF ourselves, and for
the advancement of the entire interest
of Nietos valley, the business will CEN
ter at the city of Nietos. If we act
like men of business capacity, and
minds that rise above sectional preju-
dices, we will all unite in working for
our common interest, as one common
people Of Nietos valley, and strike
hands at the city of Nietos, put our
shoulders to the wheel as one man, and
build up one business center that will
be the pride of our people, and form
a nucleus around which thousands
will gather, for there is no place Oh the
Pacific slope that offers superior ad-
vantages to the valley of Los Nietos,
either in the fertility of its soil or the
healthfulness of its climate. As our
article is already too long, we will de-
sist, but will discuss the subject more
fully i'm the future. OBSERVER.
