DRowNED.-We are panied to learn that
on Friday afternoon Mr.. Ezra Briggs was
drowned in the Mississippi river, at Little
Falls. He was with other parties, engaged
in loading stone from the shore into boat,
just below the falls. Too great weight be-
ing put into the stern, the boat was
loosed from the shore and began moving
out into the swift current, when Mr.. Briggs
sprang to right it. He missed and fell into
the river, and the stone sliding appended tt:
boat. 1t is supposed he was injured, as he
rose in about five feet of water, but sank
again. The body has not yet been found.
MIR. Briggs was one of the prominent citi-
zens of Morrison county, had been Sheriff of
the county, and was held on high esteem.
P:s.-We learned yesterday from Mr..
Y. Demerritt that Mr.. Briggs body was
found floating in the river near the mouth
of the brook at w. McNeiPs farm, about
seventeen miles below Little Falls, Tuesday
evening, considerably decomposed.

THE NORMAL SCHOOL.
Opening Of the Fall Term in the New
Building,
List Of the Students in the Normal De-
partmeMt.

The fall term of the Normal School be-
gan Wednesday Of last week, but new
scholars have continued to arrive almost ev-
cry day since then. Yesterday we visited
the school and found it in fine running Or
der, in the new building, which is admira-
bly, adapted to the purposes of an educa-
tional institution. A very full and COM
plete description of the building has already
been given. But since that description was
published the new furniture has been re-
ceived. 1t is of the very best. The can
drews" (Chicago) seat and desk, made Of
ash and black walnut, is in the Normal and
Model rooms, while in the class rooms are
very comfortable settees. -Instead of the
old style school desks for the teachers, are
very handsome and tasty library tables
The organ is in the model room, and a
Chickering piano takes its place in the
Normal room. By means Of bells and
speaking tubes, the Principal can commune
cate from the main Normal room with any
part of the building.

PRICES FOR THE TIMES.

O. H. J. BRIGGS, Secretary
Los Angeles daily herald., 1874-05-26
To the Southern Pacific Railroad Co.

We find on enquiring of the steamer
agents in this city that there are !, 800
people passing between the ports of
San Diego, Wilmington and San
Francisco every month. If we had
railroad communication between San
Diego, this city and San Francisco, all
this travel and twice as much more
would go by rail. But suppose the
number of passengers did not increase
and the fare between San Diego and
San Francisco by rail was fixed at
fifteen dollars, the railroad receipts
from passengers alone would amount
to $4,000 per month, or 1924, 900 per
annum. We say nothing of the re-
ceipts for way passengers and fast
freight that would pass over the road
both ways. There are about one hum
dred and sixty miles of the Southern
Pacific road yet to build to give us q
continuous railroad to San Francisco.
70 build this piece of road will cost the
company say $4,000 per mile, or
50, 4O0,0 900 for the whole distance. The
S324,0OO per annum paid by passengers
to and from San Diego, Los Angeles
and San Francisco will pay about
eleven per cent. on the cost of building
the road. Why then does not the
Southern Pacific Railroad Company
complete their road to this city? They
can borrow all the money they require
in Europe at seven per cent. Weneed
not add more figures to those we have
already given to show that the COM
pany is losing thousands of dollars per
day by not completing the road to Los
Angeles. Three-fourths of the travel
comes to and goes away from here. If
the road was completed to this point it
would secure it all.

Prosperity Of the City and Valley.

The population of Los Angeles is
now between $4,000 and $1,000. Two
years ago it did not exceed 10000, and
at the rate Of increase now noticeable,
twelve months hence we shall have
over 10000 people within the corporate
limits of this city. This is a good
showing, and it is not exaggerated. If
we except San Francisco, no place in
the State is improving as rapidly as
Los Angeles. Although from twenty
to forty dwellings are erected every
month, there are few houses to rent,
and incoming families find it difficult
to secure residences. Our hotels are
full-not for day after the arrival of
a steamer, but all the time. While
the city is growing and improving
thus rapidly, the valley is not without
its signs of prosperity. The number
OF home hunters increases daily, and
the demand for land never was as
great as at this time. People who
have paid especial attention to real es-
tate are confident that if the number
of land seekers continue to increase
throughout the year in the ratio of the
past three months, 1874 will have add
ed many thousands to the population
of Los Angeles county. We note these
signs of prosperity with pleasure, and
We record them for the benefit of those
at the distance who contemplate visit
ing the Pacific coast. To all such, we
say come, and see for yourselves.
Stay week, and look around. If you
do not find the richest soil, the finest
climate and the best country in the
world, then shake the dust from your
shoes and depart; for we want you

THE power of LUTTRELL in Con-
gress must he great, indeed if we may
judge from the hatred manifested to-
wards him by the rings and cliques
whose robbing schemes he is breaking
up. A Washington dispatch says
copies of a San Francisco paper con-
tanning an attack upon LUTTRELL
were lately placed upon the desk of
every member of the House of Repre-
sentatives. The malignancy of the
act was so apparent, as to excite gen.
eral disgust among its members. When
a man who has iabored honestly and
conscientiously in the discharge of his
duty is attacked in this cowardly,
covert way, he is furnished with the
most unquestionable proof that he is
thwarting the purposes of bad men,
and may rest assured that he will re-
ceive the cordial support of the people.
