Los Angeles daily herald., 1874-03-28
Our Object.

passed into the hands of the new joint
stock publishing company. The
Board of Directors, Judge Thompson
(President), 1. w. Lord Secretary, j.
w. Potts, P. Beaudry, F. P. F. Temple,
F. G. Gary and NJ. J. Bixley, in
tend to spare no pains to make the
paper first-class. These gentlemen are
known to the citizens of the county as
energetic business men. They know
what kind of paper is needed, and
will spare no pains to accomplish their
object.
We believe that the field is large
enough to support several good
papers, and we will extend a
helping hand to our contempo-
raries and help to build them
up; not that they need our help to in
sure their success, but cooperation
adds strength and certainty to the
success of all parties.
If as a journal we cannot furnish
valuable information to our readers
and make the paper worth what they
pay for it, we do not expect to retain
our subscribers. Neither shall we
attempt to ruin other journals by put
ting them down.
1t is one object of the company to
furnish information to people in other
parts of the country relating to the re-
sources and commercial prospects of
our county. We want farmers, pro-
ducers of every class, men of capital
and energy, who will take hold of our
undeveloped resources and by organ
lied action make this the garden of
the world. By filling our columns
with information about the character
of our soil, its products, the profit of
cultivating, the wonderfully rapid
growth of vegetation, our cheap lands,
our manufacturing resources, our
commercial situation and the mex
haustible mineral regions adjacent to
this place and forever tributary to us,
we expect to induce many to come
here and settle.
On the other hand we will try and
furnish our local readers with all val
liable information from abroad, which
will enable them to most successfully
carry on their local enterprises.
New systems of agriculture, new
crops, and such other matters as will
be of practical use to the farmer will
be inserted for his benefit.
Matter relating to the commercial
portion of the community and enab-
ling them to take advantage of any
change in the market, or of any new
material in the market, will find its
place in our columns.
The field here stretched out is large
enough to occupy all of our space,
therefore we will not spend time in
abusing private or public persons or
enterprises. Neither shall we hest
tate to promptly inform the public of
any scheme designed to injure or OPP
press.
No organization or party need eX-
pect any favor except so far as it pro-
notes the general welfare, in which
case the HERALD will earnestly CO.
operate.
The interest of each locality is best
promoted by a healthy growth Of all
the Others. We shall therefore strike
no blow at any part of the county or
any sectional interest, but will labor
for the growth and prosperity of each
part.
This is a large programme and
covers a wide field. Do you think
you can carry it out?
Well, may be not; but we will try.
AS we said before there is room for
several good journals, and we expect
to do our part to the best of our ability.
When we have exhausted the above
subjects, then, and not till then, will
we devote our time and space to less
important matter.
To put the matter in few words,
the Publishing Company propose to
run the HERALD in the interest of
Los Angeles county and not in the in
terest of any party, order, or indi-
vidual.
