EDITOR HERALD:-At the sugges-
ton of our "boss" we have given your
readers CREST Our place still inn
proves, and now presents quite bus
mess appearance. Both our boarding
| houses are doing good business. We
are informed by Hon. J. w. Venable
that the stages will connect with the
| railroad here, from the LIST of June.
| This is a fact doubtless, as the COM
pany have secured a lot on which to
build stables. Mr.. Pridham was here
| last week and intimated that he would
verp likely open Wells, Fargo & Co. IS
| express Office here soon. The pros
poets for crops were never more flat
| tering.
HARVESTING
Is now under Roadway, and from the
| number of headers, mowers and reap
ers sold by J. W Qcame within an
inch of advertising for him), there are
vast amounts of grain to be cut. Me
tos, Downey City, will necessarily
soon be a point of interest. There is,
perhaps, no spot in California that can
surpass it in climate or productiveness
of soil. 1t is well watered by bitches,
is adapted to all classes of fruit that
can be grown in Los Angeles county.
For farming purposes it is simply un-
surpassed. There are good openings
for business here, among the most inn
| pOrtant are a
BEET SUGAR FACTORY,
And wholesale and retail variety store,
and commission houses. The beet
yield is one hundred and twenty five
tons per acre. 1t can be raised on the
worst alkali beds and it is said greatly
| improves the land. The beet can be
planted and gathered every month in
the year. Beets sent up to some fac
tory above were pronounced of the
best quality. An abundance of pure
water can be had. We guarantee a
lot, free of charge, to any company
| that will start the factory, and will
| gladly correspond with such company.
Now who will give us the store and
commission house? This is the best
location in the county. Lots are
cheap, cost of building moderate, no
city taxes, daily trains carry grain
from here to Anaheim at So 80 per ton,
same as from Los Angeles. Please
send out from your city, Mr.. Editor, a
good man to buy the grain or advance
on it, and one who will furnish the
farmer what he needs at reasonable
| figures.
THERE is NO HUMBUG
About this being the place. The ma
terial for the long -talked-of hall is
now being delivered. Mr.. Beatty, OF
your place, has the contract for brick
work, and Mr.. J. w. Venable, of this
place, for wood work. This building
is to be complete in thirty days. The
store room underneath will be 26x6O
feet, and now is the time for anyone
wanting to rent good house, in a
good locality, at the terminus of the
railroad, to apply at once. Following
are the exports since our last: 1874
sacks corn, bales wool, 100 sacks pop
corn, 10 eases eggs, cases mdse., 81
sacks beans, and II sacks cornmeal.
Yours truly,
ANON.
EDITOR HERALD: The farmers
met in council at Gallatin last Satur-
day, to deliberate concerning the water
question. 1t is safe to say that ma
jority of the farmers of Los Nietos are
opposed to the new law. This may be
owing to the want of Il better knowl-
edge of it. Evidently they regard it
as King Stork sent them. They ad-
jOurned to meet at the same place
next Saturday. This section was can
vassed last week in the interest of the
Grange Cooperative store of Los An
geles. A very small proportion of
Patrons called upon failed to take
stock. The Directors did a sensible
thing in sending out live man,
J, E. MCoMAs,
OF Compton, to solicit subscriptions.
Even a good project must be pre-
sented in the right way. Not content
with the old schoolhousc, the people OF
San Antonio voted tax, collected the
money, and they. are now hauling
lumber to build new one. 1t will he
completed by the first of the new
school year, which will begin with
July next By reference to your adj
vertising columns, it will be seen that
a like spirit of improvement actuates
the people of Alameda Crhe College,
district, They too wants new school
house. 1t is generally known that
Silver (Gallatin) district has the best
school building outside of Los Angeles
city in the county, A horse, for which
its owner, Mr.. j. H. Burke, had re-
fused $3.50, ran away with the pillow
last week. Its leg was so severely cut
that it was considered an act of hui
mainly to kill it The moral of this
is that horses so valuable should not
be entrusted to hired mon, especially
since cheap ones are plentiful.
THE "HERALDu
Is highly appreciated. 1t is steadily
gaining favor, and 1t will continue to
do so, so long as its editor does not be-
long to that class of "editors who do
not edit" A newspaper is blessing
or q curse, In proportion to its bold
ness and independence, or to it's We
nality and slovishness. Every family
in the county should be supplied with
just such an excellent county paper as
the DAILY or WEEKLY HERALD.
