Los Angeles daily herald., 1874-11-11

From private letter received from
Engineer Crawford of the Los Angeles
and Independence Railroad, we eX-
tract the following points of interest
concerning the preliminary survey
now making:
II IT. I have moved my camp
down to the forks of the cailon, eight
miles South of the summit and have
landed my summit grade in the bot
tom Of the valley, using a descending
gradient of about 140 feet per mile,
which is very material reduction
from my report, and establishes the
feasibility of the Cajon Pass as rail
road gangway beyonda peradventure.
/ take it that a gradient of 140 feet per
mile with COOL alignment, in a region
destitute of snow and ice, is fully as
advantageous as 126 feet per mile used
upon railroads for the North, passing
through the snow belt. In locating
my summit L have adopted Il sharp
depression in the ridge about three
miles further East towards the Hol-
comb road, and Northwest from
Fears house. Venison is plenty in
camp; the boys knocked over two fat
bucks the other day. On Wednes-
day we were visited by a wind and rain
storm which blew down our tent and
flooded us with rain in the dark mid
night hours; nevertheless we still live,
and the boys are all well and hearty.
Yours in great haste,
CRAWFORD.

EDITOR HERALD: Because no one
has been writing up .Nietos or
Downey City lately, it don't follow
that it does not flourish and grow, for
to-day, while passing along the street,
/ note four houses in course of erec-
tion and various other improvements,
such as street-grading, etc, all indi-
eating a healthy and prosperous con-
dition of the place. Business is very
active and the enormous crop raised in
this section is now placing in circula-
tion large amount of money.
| was to-day shown through The
hotel now in course of erection by Mr..
Venable. The plan is good, the work
frst-class, the rooms large and airy;
and while the house is an ornament
to the place, it will accommodate
some of the visitors to your city who
may prefer the freedom of the country
to the city while stopping in the
county. 1t will be finished in about
ten days, and we understand will be
under the prOprietorship of Mr.. j. Il.
Carney-a man of long experience in
the business.
1t is reported that there will be two
daily trains to this place OH and after

afford good opportunity to the people
of your city to visit this beautiful and
thriving village and return on the
same day, and l think many will avail
themselves of the privilege of seeing
this woderful valley.
| had visit from Mr.. Keller, of Kel-
Ter e. Co., Sacramento, last week, who
says this valley surpasses in beauty
and fertility anything he ever saw.
He says had he never seen it's wonder
full productions and that beet" he
never could hdve believed what he
has heard and read of this country.
He says if he were to hear of corn
growing on willows, he would not
doubt it now.
| understand that the members OF
the Los Nietos Sabbath School will
give a concert at an early day TO raise
funds to buy new and larger organ.
Doubtless your city will be waited on
by some of the fair ticket-venders. If
they call on you, Mr.. Editor, take q
ticket right away, and they'll try to
sell you Il dozen.
Business around the depot this week
has been very light; not quite enough
to keep employees awake.

ployer on Monday evening, and 70
amuse them took u small pistol and
after removing the cartridge allowed
them to snap the lock, pretend
ing to shoot each other. After divert
ing themselves for some time in this
way, the man took the pistol away,
replaced the cartridge and hid the
weapon, as he thought, out of the little
ones reach. He then busted himself
about other matters, and in the mean
time one of the children-a little boy
thinking to have some more sport
with the dangerous plaything, took it
from the place where it had been laid
away, and, unnoticed by the colored
man, cooked the weapon, placed it at
the mans side and pulled the trigger.
The cartridge exploded, driving the
ball into the body of the unfortunate
man and inflicting II wound from
which he died on Tuesday morning.
The parents of the children are deeply
grieved at the result of the unfortu-
nate affair, and in one family, ut least
an important lesson has been incul-
Gated regarding the use of firearms
playthings.

Vandalism.
San Bernardino, November s

Mr.. Reyes A. Serrano was lately the
victim OF an act of vandalism, the per-
petratOrs of which should be made an
example of on being identified. Mr..
Serrano returned last week from the
Monserate ranch in San Diego county,
bringing with him ten horses for the
Also ranch. On Friday of last week he
missed his horses and started immedi-
mediately in search of them but he
could not find them. Saturday he
sent two horsemen to look for them
with the same result. On Sunday he
started in the direction of the Cienega
de San Joaquin, about a mile from
Tustin City. There he found horse
and mare, both wounded, the former
with two and the latter with one rifle
shot. At about four hundred yards
from Mr.. Platps house he found two
of his horses, both dead, one with
three shots and the other with one.
Monday he continued his search
in company with a V0querO,
and about two hundred yards from
Platt's house he found the ''insides" of
another of his horses. 1t appears they
had taken away the meat from the
carcass, but piece of hide which he
saw leaves no doubt that it was one of
his horses. They found, besides, the
tracks of wagon and calling neigh
Dor named j. Ross, they followed the
tracks to a point near the house Of
Platt, where they found the wagon
stained with blood, clear proof that in
it the vandals had conveyed the re-
mains of the beast. OF course Mr.
Platt denies being the author of such
cowardly act. After leaving the
premises Mr.. Serrano found another
of his horses dead. lThe total result
foots up as follows: They killed four
of his animals, wounded two, two
were found and two still missing. The
horses were all we'll broken and very
useful, thereby causing a great loss to
Mr.. Serrano. We hope the criminals
will be overtaken by justice and dealt
with according to their deserts. - La

SAYINGS OF GEORGE EuIor-You must
remember it isn't only laying hold Of a
rope-you must go on pulling. It's the
mistake you lads make, that have got
nothing either in your brains or in your
pocket, to think you have a better start
in the world If you stick yourselves in
q place where you can easily keep your
coats clean, and have the shop wenches
take you for fine gentlemen. That
wasn't the way | started, young man.
When l was sixteen my jacket smelled
of tar, and wasn't afraid Of handling
chceses. That's the reason l can wear
good broadcloth now and have my legs
under the same table with the heads of
the best firms in St. Oggs.
If got places, sir, It was because |
made myself at for 'em. If you want to
slip into round hole, you must make
. ball Of yourself that's where it is.
You'll have to begin ct . low round
Of the ladder. let me tell you, if you
mean to get on in life.
You youngsters nowadays think
you're to begin with living well and
working easy; you've no notion Of rum
ming afoot before you get on horseback.
