Their Purpose.

EDIToR HERALD: AS the Water
Company already claim to hold six
acres of the city's land on Fort Hill,
and, as stated in the Council n few
days ago, they only intend to occupy
one half acre of that with their reser-
voir, what do they propose to do with
the remainder and the otherlot they
are now trying to secure?
RESIDENT.
Los Angeles, Nov. %, 1874.
We can only answer our correspond
ent by assumption. 1t is plain to
every intelligent person that the COM
pany do not want the lot they are ask
ing for for reservoir purposes. They
will probably place q small reservoir
on the summit of the hill, but as it
will cover an area of less than half
acre they will, if they obtain the other
lot, have something over six acres in n
body. They claim to. hold thirty
years lease on this land, and if they
can make their claim stand, the rent
age of the land will amount to some
thing handsome. Each of the six
acres may be divided into six building
lots, and each lot is worth and the city
could to-day sell it for three hundred
dollars. This makes the six acres of
the city's land now held by the Water
Company worth ten thousand eight
hundred dollars. The company prob
ably intend to suitcase these lots for
the term Of twenty-eight years-the
time they claim their lease has yet to
run-to parties who will build upon
them. Or they may build houses
themselves and increase their income
by a large rental. This may be the
object of the company in holding the
six acres and in getting rs many more
lots as they can induce the Council to
give them.

Ben Buffers Successor.

EDITOR HERALD: In addition to
the article in Sundays HERALD, con-
corning "The man who bottled But
ler," L. think your readers would like
to know something of him personally.
[ happen to have had the pleasure
of Mr.. Thompson's acquaintance some
years since. He appears to me. as
nearly Mr.. Buffers opposite as it is
possible to be, an honest straightfor-
ward man, meaning what he says, and
saying what he means. While he
would not be easily deceived by q
knave, he seems to bear the utmost
kindness of feeling towards every one;
even towards his opponents. Those
who know him best like him best.
If the estimate held of him by
the somewhat unusually excellent
family of which he is a member, is any
criterian of judgment for him, then
he is worthy of a good deal of conf
dence. AT present he is entitled to
our sympathy as well as congratula-
tion, owing to the recent death of his
mother, to whom he was devotedly at
tached. A letter that l have just re-
ceived from an acquaintance, will per-
haps give as good an idea of what his
friends think of him as anything else.
He writes: "Our estimable friend,
Chas. p. Thompson, has fioored Ben
the Braggart.' 1t is n great pleasure
to me, Republican as / am, to be
beaten, even though it be in every
State in the Union, if so be Ben But
Ter is between the anvil and the ham
mer and then Charlie is such genial,
loving, whole-hearted soul, L was re-
ally in ecstacies when first the thing
was assured, and in my delerium Of
joy l telegraphed the first line of the
Long Meter Doxology to him, and
wound up the day by writing him an
incoherent letter" My friend says
that he received reply to this letter
from Mr.. Thompson, and that "he
seems to be thinking more of his de-
parted mother than of his political
success. If there ever was true son,
he is one. ID. w. A.

PORTLAND, November 2lst. - The
bulletin of this morning contains the
following: Wheat is offering more
freely upon the market than at any
time since the commencement of the
season. Exporters are enabled to OBJ
tain all the shipping grades they re-
quire at current rates. We understand
the Changers have concluded to resume
direct shipments to Europe, and pur-
suant to this determination some 200,-
600 bushels have been secured and ne
gotiations are now pending with lead

A conflict of interest has already
arisen in the ranks of the Patrons of
Husbandry in this State, and none of
the results which were expected to
flow from it's organization can be real
lied until these internecino difficulties
are amicably arranged.

No Paper Tomorrow.

To-day being set apart by the Ma
tional and State Executives as day
of Thanksgiving and prayer. and
whereas, as we cannot conveniently
attend to those duties and get out a
paper; and whereas, we must omit
one or the other; therefore, be 1T re-
solved, that in order to give the en-
ployes of the HERALD office an oppor-
tunity to attend one or more OF the
score of turkey dinners to which each
one is invited, no paper will be issued
from this office on Friday morning.
We trust that our friends and patrons
will enjoy their good cheer to-day and
hope that one and all may live to see
the annual return of many more
Thanksgiving days, on each of which
they may be as prosperous and happy
as the present.

Something for Farmers.

Farmers have brought to the HER
AID office potatoes weighing twelve
pounds each and we have written col
umn after column setting forth the
great facility and ease with which
first-class butter may be manufactured
in this valley, yet on enquiry among
our grocery firms and produce dealers
we find that large proportion of the
potatoes consumed in this city and a
great deal of the butterpurchased here
is brought down from San Francisco.
This is an unsatisfactory showing and
is far from creditable to our rich val
ley or complimentary to our farmers.
No soil in the world will produce
larger, better or a greater number of
tons to the acre of potatoes than that
of Los Angeles valley. In place of
drawing our supply of this common
article of food from other localities, we
should export annually thousands of
tons. We presum that our supply of
o+I Il = - -
Vi hlectiiIo IHe uciHdiu. IL HIS DcGh
demonstrated that a few acres of Los
Angeles valley soil seeded to alfalfa will
support large dairy, yet we find that
in place of sending tons of butter every
month to San Francisco we are actu-
ally compelled to draw portion of
our supply from that place. We call
the attention of persons desirous of
establishing good business to these
facts. Farmers have shown that the
soil will grow immense potatoes. The
next thing to do is to grow some of
them. The valley is well adapted to
the dairy business; let us at least
