City Fathers VS.. City improvements

EDITOR HERALD: The criticisms
of your correspondent i'll yesterdays
paper relating to the management of
public affairs by the City Fathers, are
somewhat pointed, and similar criti-
cisms by the HERALD from time to
time have been quite vigorous. The
position taken by the HERALD and
most of it's correspondents, but reflects
the sentiments of the progressive ele-
ment of the population of Los Angeles
city. 1t is disgrace to the city that
so little enterprise is exhibited in
making what every civilized c0mmu-
nifty considers necessary improve
ments. The Almighty must be very
much disguised that people will do
SO little for themselves, for whom He
has done so much. For city like
Los Angeles-a city more than one
hundred years old, land containing from
ten to twelve thousand inhabitants-a
city situated in the garden of the
world, with q soil and climate that
can be surpassed nowhere, for a city
with all these attractions and advan-
tages, to be found in its present con-
dition of neglect is a shame and dis
grace. There is not a street-crossing
worthy of the name in the city, al
though one is now being constructed;
there is not foot of sidewalk fit to be
called such within the city limits away
from the business houses, and even in
front of them it is so uneven and ir-
regular that man is in danger OF
breaking his neck if he ventures out
after dark, except during the full of
the moon.
There is scarcely a village of five
hundred inhabitants in the Western
States that is so poorly taken care of
as is this metropolis of Southern Cali
fornia." There is scarcely town OF
a thousand inhabitants east of the
Rocky Mountains but that has scores
of street crossings and miles of side
walk. Is it any wonder that Eastern
people on arriving here and finding
this lack of enterprise should turn
their heels towards the city and look
elsewhere for homes.
The very fact that thousands are ar
irving here annually in search of
homes while only scores are remaining
here should stir up our Commun Coun-
Gil and the citizens in general to do
something for the public good. The
writer hereof is one of the scores who
concluded to remain here, hoping that
a change for the better in the manage
ment of public affairs would take place
in the near future.

City improvements.

There Is getting to be very general
Impotence on the part Of our citizens
with the condition Of our streets, and
more particularly about the sidewalks
and crossings. Several communities
lions on this subject have appeared in
the HERALD lately, and one from a
Newcomer" goes for our city author
tiles in this issue.
While we are as anxious as any that
our city should be made respectable
In this direction, we must remind the
public that the Council has but little
power In the matter and that it de-
ponds on the property owners them
selves, whether the streets shall be i'm
proved, and sidewalks built. Under
the existing charter, the Council can
only order the building of sidewalk,
where q majority of the property hold
ers on given street Petition for such
an improvement. The present Coun-
Gil, we believe appreciates the neces-
sity for general system OF sidewalk
improvement, but they have no power

secure such Q revision Of the charter

A New Agricultural Society.

AS announced in the Sunday morn
ing HERALD, our agricultural friends
are organizing a new agricultural So
ciety and will soon file articles of as
ISOLATION, for that purpose. The offer
of the Southern District Society to
allow the farmers to take the majority
of the stock of that organization is not
likely to be accepted, principally we
believe because the title to its property
is beloved to be defective.
We are of the opinion that two soci-
cites can be made successful. The old
society can continue to devote its at
tention to fast horses, while the new
one can especially foster the agricul-
tural resources of the country.
The objections to the management
of the Southern District Society, were
mainly, that while protesting to be an
Agricultural Society, it really devoted
most of its attention to horse-racing,
and that the interests Of agriculture
were overlooked. There is but a small
portion of our population that is en-
tirely opposed to trials of speed, while
very great many who do not care to
risk money, yet enjoy the spectacle of
fast horse contending for prize.
The plan suggested by friend Of the
Society at the time of the Fair, to have
two different meetings, one for fast
stock, and one for the display of agri-
cultural products, will be better car
ried out by two separate and distinct Or
CARNATIONS. The old Society, being
in the hands Of men who are interest
ed in the breeding and training Of fast
horses, will be we'll adapted to the en-
enlargement of such sport. The new
one can bring out the fat cattle, fine
sheep, and unexampled agricultural
products of SouthernCalifornia, and
there will be no clashing of interests,
as there might be, if our sporting
friends and the agriculturalists were
to try tojog along together. We believe
that there is ample room for both soci-
cites to flourish. and We hope to see
them both achieve success. each in its
chosen field.

as will give them the power to make
such improvements as the public ne
cessities demand, and until the desired
legislation is provided, we see nothing
for our citizens to do but to possess
their souls in patience.
We suggest however that the Coun-
Gil ought to hurry up the charter re-
vision, and that as soon as possible, 1t
should be placed before the people for
discussion

Los NIETOS, Jan. 5, 1874.
|. EDITOR After twenty
four hours rain, everything in the
vegetable line looks lovely. The sun
is out this morning in all its lowell
ness. Not a cloud is visible. The rain
that has fallen was a God-send to the
farmers on the uplands. They are
now pretty sure of crop of small
grain. Our hills and plains are cloth
ed in mantle of green, and sheep,
cattle and horses find good pasture and
are in thriving condition. No stock
famine in Southern California this
year.
Our village is quiet this morning;
our people are all good-humOred in
anticipation Of good crop year.
Business appears to be on the in
crease: our merchants admit that
business in their line was never better.
The sound of the blacksmith's anvil is
ever heard, from early dawn till set OF
sun; our streets are ever crowded with
teams, hOrsemen, ETC., and our friends
Benbrook & Brisbane appear to be
busy dealing out consolation for the
inner man.

We visited the Nietos depot few
days ago. Depot did I call it? Well,
we are at loss to know what name it
should have. We have been calling it
in our former communications Nietos
City, but some object to the name;
some want it called Downey City. 1t
is a matter Of indifference to us what
name they give the child, so that it
docs not affect Its growth. We are
anxious to see IL grow to be full
grown man, under whatever name it
may assume, but until those in au-
thority do name it, We will call it Me
tos City; and notwithstanding the
bubble over the name 1t still inn
proves. Buildings are. going up all the
while, and the depot building is filed
with grain, mostly corn. The r. r Go.
sends out train once or twice week
and clean up the sacks that have accu-
mulated, but 1t only requires few

capacity. Whether the n, r. Co. ever
intend to give us passenger train Is
not known to us. OBSERVER.

The Farming of the Future.

The notion of an English writer in
Frazer's Magazine is, that the time will
come when farming will be a CONNER
cial speculation, carried on by Joint
stock concerns, issuing shares from $50
to 500 each, and occupying from one to
ten thousand acres. He thinks that
such companies would, perhaps, pur-
chase the entire sewage Of an adjacent
town. Their buildings, their streets
of cattle-stslls, would be placed on a
slope sheltered from the northeast, but
near the highest spot on the estate so as
to distribute manure and water from the
reservoirs by the power of grayitation.
A stationary steam engine would crush
their cake and pulp their roots, pump
their water, perhaps, even shear their
sheep, They would employ butchers
and others, a whole staff, to kill and cut
up bullocks, in pieces suitable for the
London market, transmitting their
meat straight to the salesman, without
the Intervention of the dealer. That
salesman would himself be entirely in
the employ Of the company, and sell
no other meat but what they supplied
him with. This would at c give a
profit to the producer, and a lower
price lin comparison) to the public. In
summer, meat might be cooled by the
ice-house or refrigerator, which must
necessarily be attached to the company's
bacon factory. Except in particular
districts, it is hardly probable that the
dairy would be united with the stock
arm but if so, the ice.house would
lgain come into requisition, and there
would be a condensed milk factory on
he premises. 1t is further predicted of
his company that they will utilize land
waste, by roofing up hedges and
ling bitches that an effort to shorten
be period between crops, and get more
han one crop from the same soil within
year, will be attempted. That irriga- ]
on will be resorted to upon an extern
We scale, and that artificial heat or :
eetric currents will be used to ripen
crops, and that blasts of hot air {

Reports from the west and south.
which are generally regarded as trust,
worthy, do not Indicate favorable crops.
The area Of cotton is not only less, but
the planter has suffered from frost, flood
an lice. To a considerable extent re-.
planting has taken place, but not under
circumstances that encourage hope. In
western barley the falling off is said to
amount to fully ten per cent, while the
reduction of acreage planted in spring
rye is fully six aud o~ne-fourth per cent,
The wheat prospects, however, are re.
ported to be t~llttering, although from
some localities come complaints of bad
weather. This is especially true of
southern Illinois and the corresponding
belt of country. 1t would be more
gratifying, however, to know what is the
condition of crops abroad. If they are
likely to be short the United States will
be the gamer, for we can sell with a
profit and employ our ships to advan-
tage. If, on the other hand, they are
abundant we may again see the melan-
choly spectacle of corn burned as fuel
and the smaller grain entombed in store
houses.

It il a subject Of general remark, among
both wholesale and retail druggists, that no
medicine introduced to the American public
has ever gained such a popularity and met
with 20 large q sale in all parts Of the land, in
the same length Of time, AZ DR.. Pierce's Gold
en- Medical Discovery. This cannot depend
upon its having been more largely advertised
than any other medicine, as such Is not the
case. The correct explanation, We thin, Is
found in the fact that this medicine produces
the most wonderful and perfect cures Of very
bad cases Of bronchial, throat and lung dis
eases, is undoubtedly the most perfect and eff
fcient remedy for all kinds Of coughs that has
ever been introduced to the public, and at the
same time possessing the greatest OF blood
purifying and Strengthening properties that
medical science has been able to produce, thus
rendering it a sovereign remedy not only IN
the cure of consumption, bronchitis, hoarse-
ness and coughs, but also for all diseases Of
the liver and blood, "a scrofulous diseases,
blOtches, rough skin, pimples, black specks
and discolorations. 1t has, therefore, a wide
range Of application and usefulness, and 1t
not only gives the most perfect satisfaction to
all who use it, but far exceeds the eXpecta-
tons Of the most sauguin0, thus c|liclting the
lUudest praise, and making permanent living
advertising mediums of all who use it. For
these reasons it is that there is not perhaps a
druggist in all the vast domain Of this CONT
ueut, who tries to please his customers and
supply their wants, that does not keep and sell
large quantities of this most valuable medi-
cine.

Bailey's Nautical Experience.

The Danbury News man details the
incidentso OF his temporary ~soiourn On the
briny. He shipped the first sea on the
fourth day out. An elderly gentleman
with eyeglasses had his starboard end
to the intruder at the time, busily en-
gagged peeriug at the horizon from be.
meath one Of the life.boats. 1t struck
him on the beam, and filed his coat
tail pockets with salt water. "Helen
Blazes," said he, and he stepped down
stairs to see her. The fearful and con-
tinuous rolling of the vessel was the
cause of painful andludicrous accidents,
of course. The intellectual man with
a long brown o%vercoat that touched his
heels, and sharp, inquiring eye that
seemed to reach into everything, was
knocked off his feet by the wave, and,
besides being drenched to the skin, was
driven out of sight under a life-boat.
Bailey enjoyed that trip better than he
did. One of the stewards-a bald.head-
ed gentleman-was lettering" along
the deck with plate of highly seasoned
beef in one hand and a cup of hot tea
in the other, when a sudden lurch of the
vessel lifted him into the air, and drove
him with great violence against the
guards. The spiced beef and a fox
we're never heard of again, but the tea
he saved by catching it under his collar.
One lady was cut in the head, and one
gentleman broke a number of his legs,
but was out again in al hour, eating a
Welsh rarebit.
