Give Us Another Hotel.

The want of additional hotel accom-
modations in our city is seriously felt.
We have four large and roomy hotels,
but with the unparalleled attractions
of our climate, the tide of travel is set
ting in so heavily that no ordinary ac-
commodations will meet the demand.
We announced few days ago that
Mr.. Messmer had begun work on the
extension of the United States Hotel,
and would increase it's capacity by an
addition of $50 by 1874 feet, but an unfor-
tunate misunderstanding about the
grading of Los Angeles street has put
stop to this important improvement,
and there is nothing doing to increase
the number or capacity Of our cara
vansaries. We should think that the
establishing of the grade of Los An
geles street would be a very brief mat
ter, and then there is nothing to pre-
vent Mr.. Messmer going on with his
work. Somebody certainly will find
it profitable to build hotel soon. The
attractions of Los Angeles as a winter
residence, either for health or pleasure,
are just beginning to be appreciated,
and we may look for such an Increase
in the rush of visitors that new hotel
of the largest accommodation will be
needed m

Our Los Angeles friends have me-
morialized Congress in regard to the
recent decision of the Secretary of the
Treasury by which oranges and other
semi-tropical fruits are now admitted
into the United States free of duty. In
the interest of the welfare of Southern
Californ, every portion of which we
have at heart, we cordially trust that
the infant orange culture may receive
from Congress that moderate recogni-'
ton which will enable it to take root
firmly. When it has attained robust
growth it can then be allowed to stand
alone.-[San Diego World.

EDITOR HERALD = We are more
than pleased with the manner in
which you sustained your position in
relation to some of the members of the
Chamber of Commerce. We do not
know anything about whether any of
them have been guilty of any fraud
or not-that is not the thing that in
terests us now. Your course as the
editor of a public journal, published
for public good and public benefit, is
worthy of the commentator of all
good citizens, and as long as you con-
tinue to act upon honest principles
the masses will rally to your support.
Go on; expose fraud in high as well as
low places, and wear the collar of no
ring, or be the tool of no aristocrat.

EDITOR Misunderstanding that
some of the many readers of the HER
AID might think that we were all
submerged in the flood, we have con-
cluded to drop line that they may
learn that we are not all dro wned, but
still alive and in fine spirits, anticipat-
ing an abundant harvest for Southern
California. Since the heavy rain
storm the weather is fine; the sun is
again sending its warm rays upon our
green fields and pasture lands. The
rivers are again in their banks and the
crossings are in many places in good
condition. Our roads are not in as
good condition as is desired; some bad
mud holes, and some places almost
impossible, but if the weather re-
mains clear and warm a few days,
they will be all o X. Business of all
kinds appears to be brisk; our mer-
chants in Gallatin are busy from MORN
ing until evening attending their GUS
toners, and our mechanics are all
busy at work The depot, or Downey
city, or Nietos city, or what ever it is,
or is to be called, does not appear to
have much effect on the bust
ness of Gallatin; in fact, the
business is better than it was before
the inception of the new town. The
drug store of Smith & Fulton will be
moved to the depot in a short time,
but DR.. Rives is having building fit
ted up for drug store which will take
the place of the business of Drs. Smith
& Fulton at this place. We were much
in hopes that we would have one nice
town-One that would be the pride of
Nietos Valley, and have labOred for
that, but we are now of the opinion
that instead of this much desired OBJ
ject, we will have two rival villages, a
divided community, with strife, jeal-
Ousies and hatred, which will greatly
retard the upbuilding and develop
ment of this beautiful valley.
We visited the depot on Tuesday.
Business appeared to be brisk at the
lumber yard of Griffith, Lynch & Co.,
and they appear to be doing a good
business. A large lot Of lumber ar
rived there this morning by the train

the depot but understood that a
large amount of corn was ready for
shipment. The ground around the
building is sosoft since the rain that
it is with difficulty that teams
can get too it. We saw one team of
several animals Juggling away at the
end of a wagon tongue sticking out of
the mud, and when we asked the men
what they were trying to do, one fell
low said that he had good wagon and
load of corn at the other end of the
tang. We did not ask any more ques-
lions, but thought that it was good
opportunity for some Celestial to have
change of diet from rice to dish OF
hominy.
