Oil Excitement.


The oil excitement which spread
over Pennsylvania some years ago is
initiated to a certain degree in this
valley. The oil-bearing regions neal
San Fernando is the objective point Of
hundreds who fancy they can set
themselves the owners of numerous
wells, each flowing streams of oil ant
gold notes. Within The past few day.
new company has been organized
and q number of new locations re
corded. A great many, until now
comparatively unnoticed springs, have
been carefully examined by experts,
and all pronounced the seepage from
immense oil deposits. In the wells
but recently commenced, oil has been
found near the surface, and the quan-
tity increases in volume as the wells
increase in depth. 1t is predicted that
within a very short time the aggregate
yield of the oil region will exceed one
thousand barrels per day. The indi-
wells wherever work has been COM
meme, d. The Los Angeles Petroleum
Refining Company are the owners of
the only wells now throwing out oil,
and this company will become the
purchasers of all the crude oil taken
from the district. They alone possess
the secret of refining The oil by the
CARRERAs process, and their refinery
is now so far completed that the works
will be in operation in few days.
The stock of the Refining Company is
in great demand, and we understand
they have sufficient funds in hand to
place the refinery in active operation
and meet the expense of the wells now
being sunk. The petroleum business
is rapidly developing into one of the
most important industries of Los An
geles county.

Advertising as a Business.

With business man, advertising is
as much business as any other part
of his business. The same rule that
governs his buying and selling, also
governs his sadvertising. The rule with
him is not to insert a column adver-
tisement in the paper that will do it
cheapest, but to insert it in the paper
that will do him the most good-the
paper that has not only the greatest
number of readers, but among those
the greatest number of that class of
readers whose attention he desires to
call to the articles he has for sale. No
sensible man will advertise agricultu-
raj implements in BoNNER's Ledger.
A tobacconist ought to have very little
use for the advertising columns of the
Christian Union. For the general ad-
vertiser, the paper having the cheap
est advertising rates is seldom or never
the one in which he receives the great
est return for the money. Twenty
dollars may purchase a whole column
for the space of month in a paper,
but when it is known that paper has
only a circulation of two or three hun
dred and can only be found in third
rate saloons and the waste paper bas-
kets of those journals favoring it with
an exchange, it will strike any shrewd
business man that the twenty dollars
was badly invested, and had better
been one of five or six other twenties
that went to pay for a column "ad"
in paper of considerable circulation
and read by the entire community.
The business man advertises where he
can get the most for his money. To
do this, he seeks the columns of the
paper having the largest circulation
among the people to whom he expects
to sell his goods.

An unfortunate Vote.

1t was unfortunate for the Pacific
coast that SARGENT and JONES voted
to confirm the nomination of SHEP-
ARD, the Presidents favorite rascal.
The action of SARGENT in this partic-
ular instance was to have been eX-
pected. 1t was in keeping with his
general policy, and whatever else may
b. said of him, it cannot be denied
t lat he is eminently Conscientious
sistent in a steady and unwavering
opposition to every measure intended
to defend the interests of the people
tgainst Vaccinations of schemars
whose sole object is the squandering
of the public funds. 1t could not but
oe expected that SARGENT would vote
10 retain in power a man who, in an
incredible short time, had managed to
dispose of all the available funds of
the District of Columbia and run the
Government twenty millions in debt.
But of JONES better things were
hoped. His hands were clean. He
had stood up bravely with LUTTRELL
and other opponents of swindling
schemes from the opening until al
most the close of the session. The
people had come to regard him as one
of their most uncompromising cham
pions land to have him "fall down "
at the close of the battle, when vic
tory was almost theirs, has created q
feeling of disappointment which it
will take years of loyalty to remove.
The Nevada Senator could not have
been ignorant of the only too palpa-
BILE fact that SHEPARD was totally
unfit for the position to which the
President had nominated him, and the
only plausible excuse his friends can
offer for him is the twin-brother affec-
ton and school-boy familiarity which
grew up between him and the Presi-
dent during the session. In charity
we must concede that it was the Pres
ident's influence over the man, and
not the mans judgment that COM
PEELED Senator JONES to vote for the
confirmation of "Boss" SHEPARD.

IN case recently tried before him,
Justice LAWRENCE, of the Supreme
Court of New York, decided that the
Bank of California has no legal exist
ence as corporation. The learned
Dogberry held that trade and COM
m.rce did notinclude banking. He be-
lieved that buying and selling bullion
and fine gold and silver was neither
trade nor commerce. This decision
may be a rough joke on the Bank of
California, but it is a rougher one on
Mr.. Justice LAWRENCE.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1874-07-08

Within few days, we have learned
of case where man travelled nearly
forty miles, passing through several
towns, in this section before he was
able to obtain a drink of liquor. The
woman's movement has had a very
beneficial effect, in awakening public
interest and inducing many to aban-
don evil habits. We hope that their
humane efforts will continue to be re-
warded, and that by working with the
laws and not against them, as DIR.
Lewis advises, the liquor traffic may
be kept where it now is, pretty much
out of sight; and that it will eventu-
ally be driven so far out of sight as to
be out of the reach of the vicious and
the unfortunate Bangor Me. )Whig
and Courier.

1.-THE Origin of Man" is the COM
mon text of lecturers and scientists.
The subject does not possess any great
amount of interest to the thinking
biped. No one devotes a great deal of
time and study to his origin. He NAV
have sprung from toadstool, or some
other fungus growth, or his grand
father may have been a monkey or
long-armed ape. 1t all amounts to
nothing. He is here, and where he
come from or how he made the trip is
nothing to the question of the journey
ahead and where he will finally land
his craft. For ourself, we had much
rather have some reliable information
ON where we shall go herea ter than
whole volumes on our possible or prob
able origin. Never mind the origin,
Mr.. Philosopher, but turn your giant
intellect on the problem of the here
after. That has some interest, while
the other is of no consequence what
ever.

A Waning Power.

The struggle growing out of the Lo-
cal Option law has at least developed
one fact upon which we had well nigh
fallen in error. That is the human
izing and moralizing effect of women
on elections. Only a little while ago
we were all wont to eXpiate on the
toning down effect that would be APP
parent when pretty girls and fascinat-
ing widows were permitted to elbow
their way to the polls, with as much
Importance as the toughest fisted
miner or the richest banker in the
land. When elections under Local
Option were first held, the influence
OF pretty women was simply terrible.
Old bummers who would die if not
full of whisky, were actually charmed
into voting for no-license, and men
who like their cocktails better than
they like going to church, walked be-
tween two angels to the ballot-boX
and dropped in no-license ticket.
This was all very fine at the beginning.
1t was new sensational novelty
but man is proverbially inconstant,
and he wearies of new play almost
as soon as child tires of II new toy.
In little time-only little time
the charm of female electoneering
wore off and the citizen--he to whom
has been delegated that inestimable
right OF the freeman, the ballot--be-
gan to talk about the duty of men,
and the neglected duty of women.
Now after less than six months of the
new era, thousand female angels
lowering around voting place pro-
duces no effect whatever beyond
disposition on the part of the lords of
creation to sneer at the weaker ves-
sells, and hint that they had better be
at home with the babies. 1t must be
admitted that female influence at the
polls lasts only while the feature is
new and fresh. The elections in San
Jose and Alameda prove this, and also
that Regiment of SALLIE HARRIS
and PITTS STEVENS have no intlL-
ence over mems votes after their pres
ence becomes an old story.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1874-07-08

WE have heard great deal about
the rapid increase in the population of
San Jose, and we have no doubt it is
all true. In looking over the reports
of the School Census Marshals we no.
tice that this year San Jose has 1868
children against 1915 last year-a
gain of twenty-three. This year Los
Angeles has 2,462 children; last year
she had 2,O60-a gain of 402. If San
Jose is improving rapidly Los Angeles
must be improving most rapidly.

Narrow Gauge.

Five years ago the narrow-gauge
railroad was thing hardly ever heard
of. Now there are, completed and in
running order, 1,4453 miles of this
style of road in the United States and
Canada. When all the roads at pres
ent undergoing construction have
been completed 4,5624 miles will be in
operation. This does not include
roads which are projected, but upon
which no work has yet been done. In
the matter of safety and speed, the
narrow-gauge has more than realized
all that was expected of it, while the
cost of building, in most cases, has
been nearly one-half less than attends
the construction of broad-gauge roads.

AN eastern paper says GRANT is the
most indolent, luxurious and proti-
gate man that ever sat in the Presi-
Dental chair. He is also the most
ameitious, while his political wisdom
is certainly greatly over-estimated.
But he makes up in part for this by
