A Sudden Improvement.


Last Sunday morning, on the au-
thority of gentleman whose word
we will take for as much as HAMLET
would that of the ghost, the HERALD
stated that the reservoir and bitches
of the Los Angeles Water Company
were in condition that could not but
render the water taken from them so
impure as to endanger the health of
those using it, Since the appearance
of the article y number of gentlemen
have endorsed it's statements, but we
had called the attention of the COM
pany to matter which we considered
dangerous to the health of the COM
munity, and thus discharged our duty
in the premises. At 10 o'clock on
Tuesday morning, we received an in
vitation from the Superintendent of
the Water Company to visit the res
ervoir and bitches. This invitation
was extended to each of the newspa-
pers and representative of each
office went up to the reservoir. We
have conferred with three of the five
representatives, and they all say that
the bitches and reservoirs are in a
very fair condition; that they found
men at aC0rk on the ditches;. and that
the indications toere that men had been
engaged in cleaning out the bitches
and improving the appearance of the
reserrOI Uithn thirty sir hours of
their eisit. Between the appearance
of the HERALD article on Sunday
morning and the company's invita-
tion to the press to visit the reservoir
on Tuesday forenoon, the Water Com
pany performed considerable amount
of labor and improved the appearance
of the reservoir and ditch, and we
hope improved the quality of the
water furnished the city. We have
no further comments to make at this
time, and will only add that the HER
AID is pleased TO chronicle the alac-
rity with which the company has
needed the warning and applied itself
to the task of improving the appear
ance and condition of its reservoirs
and bitches. We trust that the neces-
sity for second allusion to the inn
proper condition of the fountain head
from which we obtain our wafer will
not present itself

Railroad Prospect.

The railroad magnates. CRocKER,
Cotton, GRAY and GAGE, returned
from the east yesterday morning.
They extended their tour as far east
as San Gorgonio Pass. They are Law
ish in their praise of the country be-
tween here and the Pass, and especial
ly of that around San Bernardino
The party had long consultation
with the people of San Bernardino on
Monday night, and the utmost good
feeling prevailed. The citizens offered
TO furnish the ties and assist in grad
ing the road and take stock in the
road in payment therefor. The party
report the San Gorgonio Pass one of
the finest for railroad purposes. The
preparation of the road bed from
Spadra to and through the Pass is
neither difficult nor expensive. 1t is
not yet definitely known what
amount of the road will be

The :. Herald and Its Friends.

We have, it appears, walked the
wrath of the Water Company, and
we are in consequence threatened with
libel suits, personal violence, and
other little unpleasantries calculated
to disturb the equilibrium of an even
tempered institution. This would be
discomforting, were it not that we
cheer ourselves with the conscious
ness that we have uttered nothing but
what We have abundant reasons for
believing to be true, and that in maxi
ing the statements that have appeared
in the HERALD relative to the impur-
tiles of the water furnished this city,
we have done the people lasting SER
vice, for which we are daily receiving
their thanks. 1t Is not our purpose to
make single unfair or prejudiced
statement relative to the reservoirs
of the Los Angeles Water Company,
nor do we believe that we have print
ed a single word on the subject that
will not be sustained by those of our
citizens who have Informed them
selves as to the facts in connection
Herewith. On the other hand, if by
calling attention to irregularities and
impurities at the fountain head of a
stream from which twelve thousand
people obtain their water for domestic
purposes, we shall cause correction
of those irregularities and a removal
of those impurities, we shall regard
ourselves as successful performers of a
Herculean task and rejoice that the
work is done, even though in doing it
We have drawn upon ourselves the
enmity and i'll will of all the self-as-
sumed "exclusive franchise" in the
city Of Los Angeles. The HERAL D
is the peoples paper and it expects
the i'll will of those who have proven
themselves anything but the friends of
the people.
