A Sanitary Measure.


A correspondent of the Santa Bar
bara Inder designates Los Angeles as
& "the dirtiest town in Southern Cali
fornia." This is sweeping assertion
and, though we don't know lust how
dirty Santa Barbara and other towns
may be, we will assume that it is un-
true. A'city might be, and doubtless
many are, dirtier than Los Angeles.
Yet, while we indignantly deny that
ours is the dirtiest town in the State
we are not sure that our claim to be-
ing the cleanest can be substantiated
IL Is fact that the sanitary condition
OF Los Angeles might be greatly i'm
proved. 1t is equally true that many
unsightly and undoubtedl yunhealthv
spots might with little expense and
no serious detriment to any one be
greatly improved. We believe that il
is the duty of the city authorities to
give this snhject their consideration,
and we hope the new officials will
give the sanitary condition of the
city their earliest, attention. The
Health Ordinance remains unappealed
and we believe it is the will of the
majority of our citizens that u Health
Officer shall be appointed and in
structed to proceed in the work of re-
moving the many nuisances so dan
gerous to health,as rapidly as possible
without imposing extraordinary and
unnecessary expense upon the people.
A too rigid enforcement of the ordi-
nance should not be insisted upon, but
if we would maintain the reputation
of our city as desirable resort for
invalids and guard against disease
among our citizens, we must employ
the services of Health Officer.

The Earthquake in the East.


New YORK, December 12th.-The
earthquake shock on Thursday night
appears to have been more extensive
than was at first imagined. At Wash
ington Hights it sounded like a pro-
longed roll of thunder; at Spuyten
Tuyvel the people kept lights burning
all night, fearing repetition. The
alarm was general in these districts.
A rocking and rumbling sensation was
felt at West Mount Vernon and White
Pains. At Mount ~Risco, Kensyco
and Kalanahs houses shook, windows
ratified and instances are rel orted
where persons fell out of bed ceilings
cracked, and fears are entertained that
some of the houses will topple over.
Many agree in describing the sound as
resembling a terrific explosion. At
Dobbs Ferry, houses were violently
shaken and bells rung; the concussion
lasted five or six seconds. At Mount
Vernon the whole town turned out in
alarm, several occupants of the hotels
were thrown out of their beds, and the
proprietors rung a general police
alarm. In Rockland much damage
was done to ceilings and glassware.
and the people rushed into the streets
in their night clothes. Many persons

A Successful Enterprise.

The Alden Fruit Drying Factory
established in this city by Mr.. GEO.
B. DAVIS has proven very successful
undertaking. Although the factory
did not commence operations tillIate
in the season when the grape crop
was fully three-fourths gone, yet so
rapid is the process that q great many
tons of raisins were made and large
amount ofapples and pears preserved.
The market created by the Alden pro-
cess will induce extra eXertions on the
part of our fruit-growers, and no
doubt stimulate many to plant trees
and vines. One or two other Alden
factories will, we understand, be
erected in other parts of the county
next Spring, and the Alden process
will therefore furnish home market
at good prices for the fruit of every
kind grown in the valley. The HER
AIDS prediction that Los Angeles
valley Alden preserved fruit would
prove superior to that of any other
locality in the State has been fully
verified, as will be seen from the fol-
lowing, clipped from late number Of
the San Francisco A1td: "The estab-
lishment of an A !den drying house at
Los Angeles and the. successful pro-
duction of raisins from the Muscatand
Mission grapes, will open new source
of revenue to the owners of vineyards
in the southern part of the State. In
consequence of the loss of the San
Francisco market for fresh grapes, the
inability to produce brandy with
profit under the oppressive revenue
laws, the high cost of casks and the
dear freights on wines, many of the
vineyardists have become discouraged
and many of them have rooted up
their vineyards. The Alden drying
house VIII alter the conditions, and
raisins will doubtless soon become one
of the chief products of that part of
the State. Many vineyards will be
changed in character by grating with
raisin grapes, thus enhancing the
prosperity ofa district which has for
several years been enjoying a flush
ness far beyond previous experience.
The new raisins have already been
produced OF fine quality and large
quality, and can be obtained of G. O.
MCMULLIN & Co., agents in this city"

Idle Men in New York.

NEW YORK, December 10Th. - A
statement of the condition of affairs
in all manufactures and industries
employing large force of employees
in this city is published to-day. In
building trades the stagnation contin-
ues and nearly 1000 men are idle; of
shoemakers, 1000 are idle; iron inter-
ests are very much depressed and there
are nearly 6,000 men idle; the cabinet
makers are doing only one-half their
former trade and $500 men are idle;
over 1000 printers are out of employ
ment; 2,400 coopers and sugar refiners
and 1000 unskilled laborers are idle.
In round number, there are $4,000 un-
employed men, exclusive of several
thousand strikers.

AN account headed "Cruel and
Shameful Outrage in Kern County,"
which has been printed in nearly
every paper in the State, turns out to
be without the slightest foundation in
fact. The story is that the wife of a
man named PEYToN was carried off
and outraged by five Mexicans. 1t was
a hoax which first appeared in the
Fresno Erpositor and was afterward
dressed up in the sensational style by
the San Francisco Chronicle. We
cannot see where the amusing part
comes in on such recital as publish
ed, and it appears to us that the in
vention and publicity of such narra-
tive is little less than criminal. We
are glad to know that the story is
false but it would have been better
had it never been told.
