CASH PLAN ADOPTED.

The postage law, which goes into operation lst
Of January, 1875, requires prepayment on all
newspapers sent through the mails beyond the
limits of the counties in which they are publish
ed. We have, therefore, determined to adopt
the CASH PLAN for all-subscriptons. While
avoiding the losses, tsrdy payments and ex-
penses of collection incident to the credit sys-
TEN, we will be required to prepay the postage.
Tie chsnge determined upon will, therefore,
prove beneficial to both subscribers and publish
er The former will be relieved of the postage
tax whilst the latter will be enabled to simplify
the operations Of his business and to improve
the facilities for conducting it.
No name aoilL be entered unteSs the Subscrlp-
ton is paid for IN adua1ce. :,
During the past few months every subscriber
in arrears has been furnished, through mails,
with statement of his account Many have
res sponded with remittances discharging their
liabilities and paying in advance for the current
year We appeal urgently to those who have
not made similar response to do SO without
further delay, rs after the first of January, 1879
we will commence to discontinue the paper to
those WHO have not paid in advance. The time
within which al in arrears can close up the bal
ces due and make an advance payment is am
pie, and we fatter ourselves that but few names
will be dropped.

PIPIFAX.

This remarkable curative herbal
preparation is entirely unlike and greatly
superior to any other recuperant ever dis
covered.
1t strengthens the living vital nervauric
principle, and gives energy to the muscles,
nerves, flaments, membranes, and all tissues
of the internal organs.
PIPIFAX-Keeps the skin in supple
condition; the cuticle plant; the pores open;
and brings the blood to the surface; thereby
enabling the system to counteract these bane-
full atmospheric influences.
PIPIFAX--Passes through the blood, car
ries off by Precipitation and other excretons
the effete and injurious materials of the body
1t is soothing, Alternative ana decorative. Used
methodically and nationally, aided by sulta-
BILE diet, 1t produces most important changes
in the system, contributing to the reconstruc-
ton of tissues, and removes vitiated matter
which has become not only useless but inju-
rious. No other article has ever been intro
duced which combines in such an extraordi-
nary degree the principles of an efficient anti
bilious agent and tonic. Try it and be con-
vinced. may29 3m-20

EDITOR HERALD: - Leaving the
beautiful and interesting city of Los
Angeles by the half-past eleven o'clock
train, we whirled across the beautiful
San Fernando valley to the rising
town of San Fernando, which is rap
idly growing in size and Importance,
and taking the stage after few miles
began the ascent of the San Fernando
Pass, which-is cut quarter of mile
long and one hundred feet deep through
the mountain. We soon arrive at
Lyon Station, which is quite a resort
for tourists and is beautiful place,
surrounded by groves of oak and syca-
more trees, and which is destined to
become
A PLACE OF NO LITTLE IMPORTANCE.
There is store and telegraph office
here, besides the hotel and the oil re-
fnery, which at present is not ref lining
any oil, the new process having done
away with the old method. After
leaving here, we emerged into the val
ley of the upper Santa Clara river,
which is splendid valley about eight
miles long and six miles wide, and is
covered with heavy growth of white
oak timber The Santa Clara river
runs through the middle of this valley,
making it desirable place to settle,

Southern California.

The following, from an editorial in
that sterling and always wide-a wake
journal, the San Francisco Examiner,
is no doubt the work of its editor and
chief, Hon p. A. Roach:
There is vast region of this State
which by its productions well deserves
the title of semi-tropical California.
1t is an area of territory far greater in
extent than the land whose abund-
ance, in the early ages of civilization,
afforded shelter and food to man be-
meath its vines and fig trees. 1t is
richer in the variety Of fruitsIthan the
soil of the Holy Land yielded to it's
Inhabitants. In several of the south
ern counties the olive, the orange and
the vine render their luscious treas
ures with little cultivation. SO
great is the fertility of the section
of the State to which we refer,
that in the near future, with popu-
latiOn determined to develop its re-
sources, the wealth derivable from its
soil may equal the value of our min
eral or cereal productions. The capa-
bilities of that section of our State
are being brought to public notice, to
encourage the seekers of permanent
homes to visit it, by series of we'll
written editorials in the Los Angeles
HERALD. The southern counties of
this State are rapidly settling up.
Lands are comparatively cheap, and
the climates Of Monterey, San Luis
Obispo, Santa Barbara, Los Angeles
and Ventura, have already attracted a
large influx of permanent inhabitants
to those localities. The increase in
population in the districts we have
named, in the last five years, is some-
thing extraordinary.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1874-08-12

After crossing the river, we entered
the San Francisco Canon, which Is
twenty miles long and one hundred
wards wide. For several hours we
were completely walled in by noun
tains q thousand feet high. 1t was a
most gloomy place, and we were glad
when we had passed beyond its mar
row limits.
Many years ago
A WATER-SPoUT
Fell in this cafion and drowned some
unfortunate emigrants that were pass
ing through.
Reaching the summit of the noun
tain, fair panorama met our view.
Elizabeth Lake lay calmly beneath us,
and a vast plain level as table
stretched away to the horizon in the
east, while to the north and west q
range of blue mountains could be seen
in the. dim distance. They were a
spur of the Sierra Nevadas descend
ing to the plain. We soon came to
Elizabeth Lake, which is a small set
tlement mostly of Spanish people.
The lake is situated in basin sur
rounded by low hills; the water is not
fit to drink tasting strongly of alkali.
There are many large cattle ranches
in the vicinity of this place, and the
plains are covered with bands of sheeu
After leaving the lake we travelled
many miles across the plains until we
arrived at the Lievre ranch which is
one of the largest sheep ranches in
the country. 1t is the property of
General E. +. Beale, who has six large
grants all joining at this place making
the Lievre one of the most extensive
ranches in the State. Arriving at
Fort TETON, we determined to spend
a few days at this delightful place.
FORT TETON
Was built many years ago by the
Government, but was abandoned in
1864, it proving to be on Spanish
grant. The fine buildings are rapidly
going to decay, and the fine parade
ground which was doubtless once the
soldiers pride, is now turned into a
sheep corral, and the buildings which
were formerly the officers quarters
are now the humble dwellings of
sheep-herders. TETON was once a flour
ishing place, several companies of
soldiers were stationed here, and there
were several stores, blacksmith shops
and hotels, but its glory has departed
forever, fear.
With the departure of the boys in blue.
The drowsy deniZens departed, too.
