Destructive Storm.
Nevada Transcript, October 2Sth }


Jack Pelham, of Penn valley, passed
through town yesterday, with his
band of stock, which he had been
herding in the mountains during the
Summer. When the storm set in he
started to get out with them, and
barely succeeded in doing so. At
Bear Valley the snow was three feet
deep. He had to take the strong
est cattle and lead them, so as to
break path for the Others to follow.
They cauld go but a short distance be-
fore becoming so fatigued that they
would stop to rest. The snow came
down 50 rapidly that the path would
fill up as soon rs they had
passed. BY the most strenuous efforts
Pelham succeeded in getting them
below the snow-belt. He says that
the mountains are filled with cattle
and sheep, and they must all perish if
heavy and warm rain does not
come on Immediately. The cattle
may live on browse week, but if it
keeps on storming they will be showed
in so deep that they cannot even get
around to get browse. Colley, of this
city has large numder sheep there,
and SO has Henry Everett of Birch
Vile. The loss of stock will be fear
ful. The number that died last Win
ter has made beef cattle scarce this
Summer. If those which are now
showed in are not rescued, all kinds of
meat will bring high price this
Winter.

The Theatre.

The, benefit given at Turn-Verein
Hall last night to Louis Belmour the
popular actor of the Florence Kent
Troupe, drew forth q fair audience but
not so large as the merits of the enter
tainment deserved. The programme
included the "Duel in the Snow'' fol-
lowed by the Sketch of Old Black Joe,
songs and dances by Miss Lulu Wilson
and side-splitting farce entitled
"Beautiful Forever"
In the last play, Mr.. NJ. Lehman
and Mrs. Roster took the leading parts
and acquitted themselves with the
usual credit. "Old Black Joe" was
also finely rendered by Mr.. Dave
Davis, late of the San Francisco Min
strels. The performance of the mem
bers of the Florence Kent Company
was fully up to the standard and thor
oughly spiced the first play on the
boards. We hope that the company
will pay Los Angeles q visit at some
more auspicious time when there has
not been such a surfeit of amusements
and will then meet the hearty recep-
ton which their talent commands.

A Worker.

Los Angeles county has within its
borders many men who by cores
pondence and other means have ex-
tensively advertised Southern Califor-
MIA throughout the Atlantic States.
The II HERALD and the HERALD PAM
phlets have done and are doing much,
but private correspondence has also
done its work. Among our most en-
ergetic workers in this latter field of
labor is Milton Thomas of this. city.
During the past four years lie has adj
vertised extensively that he will an
swer all letters of inquiry regarding
Los Angeles county, its climate, re-
sources, etc, and the opportunities
here offered for families of limited
means to obtain homes. There are at
present Ell route to this county for
settlement several families, who are
brought hither through the influence
of his letters and many more families
are making arrangement to come.
He has sent letters and HERALD
pamphlets to nearly every State and
Territory of the Union. Not only
does he labor to bring other people to
this county, but he shows his faith by
his works in building up the county
and advancing home enterprises.
This is demonstrated by the artesian
wells he has dug, the tiocks of sheep
he has cared for, land which, by the
way, he says pay better than money
loaned at four per cent. interest per
month"; and the orchards he has
planted. He has been engaged in the
culture of semi-tropical fruit trees
ever since he came to the county, and is
now one ofthe prominent stockholders
and Director in the Cooperative Nur-
sery and Fruit Company and an equal
partner in the firm Off. A. Carey &
Co., who are putting out a large nur-
sery of Northern fruits. Mr.. Thomas
is also making arrangements to Sc
cure lands for planting one of the
largest orchards in Southern Califor-
mia, of not less than $4,000 trees, the
particulars of which will be given to
the public rs soon as the plans are
perfected. A few more such men and
a few less of the two and three per
cent. per month men and Los Angeles
county would be much better Off

Business at the Dalles is brisker

EDITOR HERALD: l see an article
in the Erprcss of Monday, November
I'd, headed ga Rare and Successful
Operation," upon which would offer
a few remarks. The operation is not
nearly as rare as the case of a natural
hypertrophy, the operation being fre-
0uenIy resorted to for cancer
and other diseases of the tongue. 1t
is curious that "books were searched
in vain for precedent and
that the faculty here had no knowl-
edge of an operation of the
character which this case would re-
quire," when we find in C0oper's Sur
gical Dictionary page 1854 an account
or many successful operations for
hypertrophied tongue performed as
long ago as 1880 by Saumur; another
by Pimprenelle in the seventeenth CEN
tury. At page 467 of Cross Surgery
we not only find description of the
disease but at page 472 the mode of
operation, also plate Of u case of hy-
pertrophy, fig. 35l and the various
ways of operation.
In Druitt's Modern Surgery page
1893 we find an account of the affec-
ton and operation by the V incision.
At page 265, Liston and Mutter on
Surgery, we find II description of Hy-
pertropliy of tongue and mode of op-
Grafton. In Miller's Practice of Sur
gerry, page pa, we find II description of
the affection and the removal by the
V incision. Erichsen, page $50
and 800, mentions the operation but
recommends the use of the ecraseur,
which is easy of application and is
comparatively blOOdless. in fact, no
surgical work Omits the mention of
the operation. / mention these facts
to enlighten your readers so they may
look upon the report of the case in the
Express as the medical faculty do-as
an irregular manner of ofadvertisiDg and
contrary to the Code of Medical Ethics.

SATURDAY EVENING. Jan. 10.
A cheerful feeling perv.des nearly all depart
ments OF trade and industry now, except some
branches OF manufacturing, which are slow to
partake Of the general revival OF activity. The
general belief is now, that money will 10 abun-
dant, and this belief makes it so. Some OF the
banks report money working very close. but this
is the case only with banks having good many
customers in the grain trade, to whom they are
advancing largely to carry grain in store. Some
OF the other banks report money plenty,
and are taking all the prime paper OFFER
ed. The supply Of money to loan seems
TO be steadily increasing, but thus fact stimu-
lates speculation and Investment OF. every kind.
and so absorbs the money: The Increased sup
ply OF money in the past week has helped 10
cause the recent large advance in the prices Of
grain, and also to make al Investment demand
for local stocks.
New York exchange is still very scarce, and
sells ut 60c to 75c per- 81 900 premium.
