Friends, reflect that my charges for the inser-

Preserve your teeth and you preserve your health.
Putting Of the natural teeth in a healthy, pre-.

II Is very important that children between the

Dispositions and character are judged by all

how very disastrous may it therefore be for per-

respect and obey natural simplicites and instinct.

Justice to the lust Man.

EDITOR HERALD II have read in
your paper your disapproval of good
citizen, Christobal Aguilar, who
held, and presented to the Common
Council of this place the largest num-
Der of votes for the office of Zanjero,
and admitted by the Common Council
as the one lawfully accepted and rec
ognized by the irrigators of this place;
but it was vetoed by the Mayor-this
is justice because he don't speak any
thing but Spanish. Old you ever
know a well-trained dog to be dis
owned where he was UNDERSTOOD. Why
don't the Mayor, etc., send this Span
ish race to h at once and deny them
the rights of citizens, and Justice, SO
long looked for? This reminds me of
things transporting almost every day,
while corruption is at the head? Did
you hear that Germany and Italy are
going to storm the garrison OF the
Vatican, and interfere with the APP
pointnlent as the Vicar of Christ? q
WiU begin soon.) Did you hear that
in this country there is a sect formed
and settled on land that all can settle
among them but Catholics? This re-
minds me of town in Ireland, called
Random. 1t was walled around, in the
time of the persecution against the
Catholics, and over the gate that you
entered was written that "Turks,
Jews and heathens were welcomed
there-but no papists p The great
Dean Swift, passing by, he saw these
words, and being an unprecedented
man, he gave an answer to this veto,
and wrote underneath: "Who ever
wrote them, wrote them exceedingly
we'll: for the same was written on the
gates of hell" Such is the justice for
the just; and | am satisfied that, ac-.
cording to all laws, whoever is APP
pointed to an office by the majority is
lawfully entitled to the same. He
has served as Mayor, ETC., of this city,
and is known to be honest. Why did
he get so many signatures-the irriga-
tors signed and gave him three
fourths over the others-and yet he is
denied his rights. This is not secret
to the undersigned, so will ask when
will Justice reach its place in the city
of the "Lost Angels Hold hold
you fast; look out at what you do, III

SENTINEL ALBERTO,
Los Angeles daily herald. [volume] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1873-1876, 1874-01-13
Keep to Work on the Irrigating Dit. hes.

People in this country are very slow
to do anything that may not inure to
their immediate benefit, and this par
ticalar disposition has been illustrated
repeatedly in the matter of preparing
for irrigation. We have known many
enterprises for irrigation to be planned
and partly executed under the inspira-
ton of a drought, which, when the fall
rains begin to come and give promise
of pleanty of rain, have been aban-
doned far more convenient season.
Indeed, we know farmers who have
already bitches dug, and everything
in readiness for supplying their farms
with a good soaking, except Il little
repairs, or perhaps little cleaning
out, and watch the weather and hope
for pleanty of rain, until so late in the
season that the work on the bitches
cannot be done in time to give their
crops the benefit of water when
most they need it. We have known
this to happen in those portions of
Golo county where bitches have been
built for conducting water over the
country from Cache creek number of
seasons, and the losses resulting from
such delay or neglect may be set down
as hundreds of thousands of dollars to
the people of that county. The farm
ers about Woodland lost many thous-
ands the past season, simply because
they neglected to prepare for irriga-
ting their crops until too late to do
them much good.
THE PRESENT SEASON,
it is true, has so far been very favora-
bic SO far as the amount of rainfall is
concerned, and the rain that has
fallen has come so slow and has
been SO well distributed over length
of time that the ground is we'll satur-
ated. We have reason to hope that
we will receive sufficient rain between
this and spring to insure good crops,
but there is no certainty that we shall.
The only safe way, therefore, is to be
prepared for the worst-to be in
dependent of the season. Let
work on the irrigating bitches
be driven forward with vigor, for this
may yet prove to be season in
which they may most be needed. BY
no means should old bitches be ne
elected. Let them be improved and
extended, and placed and kept in good
working order, SO that they may be
used to the best advantage, if required
WATER IRRIGATION.
Our own opinion is that the proper
time for irrigating land for the small
grains is during the rainy season. In
this opinion we are supported by the
judgment and experience of the best
and most practical grain-growers in
the State, and by many facts bearing
on the subject. We all know
that whenever we have had rain
enough during the winter to wet the
ground thoroughly down deep, we
have never failed to reap "a good crop
This shows that those who have the
facilities for flooding their lands in
the winter have the means to secure
good crops entirely within their own
hands, and if they neglect to use those
means and fail to secure good crops,
none are to blame but themselves.
Let work be kept up on the ditches.-

Dramatic.

The Humboldt Daily Times of the
I'd says: Fanny Morgan Phelps Dra-
matte Troupe strill draws very large
audiences, Notwithstanding the multi
tude of other entertainments, and
some of them attract large crowds.
The recent addition to Mrs. Phelps
Tro1pe in the person of Mr.. Piercy,
has added largely to its attractions,
though by no means is this an admis-
sion or an assertion that she or her as
sociates were not efficient in all of the
performances that they undertook.
And in another article "Our peo-
pie have had a rare theatrical treat
since the arrival of Mr.. Samuel w.
Piercy, who has appeared nightly in
conjunction with that favorite artist,
Fanny Morgan Phelps. The company
is undeniably the best our town has
ever known. The representation of
the Lady of Lyons brought out some
OF Mr.. Piercy's fine points, and his
rendition of Claude Melnotte, gave
evidence of earnest study and showed
that he possesses, in connection with
fine perception and the merit of
Fdmour de son etdt, an excellent and
substantial groundwork of educational
accomplishment. Mrs. Phelps, as
Pauline, played so warmly to him as
to render his task much more easy
than if he had cold or formal one;
and they succeed without seeming
effort in in intensifying the audience. j"
Mr.. Piercy is favorite in Los An
'geles and our people will be glad to
learn that this troupe will soon be
here.

The Zanjero.

We give place to a communication
concerning the Appointment of {.
Aguilar to the office of zanjero, but
think that our correspondent is en-
tirely mistaken. No one objects to
AguiIar on account of his nationality
or his religion, and no one but Il bigot
or n know-nothing would think of do
ing so-but there are great many
who think the officer ought be able to
speak the language in which the bust
ness is conducted, and we believe the
position sound one. A man who I'M
derstands and speaks both languages
will have trouble enough in managing
the water question; and while there
acquainted with both English and
Spanish, we see no reason why one who
is wholly ignorant of the tongue
spoken by two-thirds of the irrlgators
should be forced into the office,
