Port Of Wilmington.

1t will be seen by our dispatches
from Washington that the Senate has
passed the bill changing the name of
San Pedro to Port Wilmington. Some
time ago our Chamber Of Commerce
made report ON the Wilmington
Harbor, its importance, the necessity
of proper development of it, and
recommending that the name be
changed from San Pedro to Port of
Wilmington. Good bye, San Pedro !!
you are indissolubly linked to q by
gone age, good enough in itself but
not progressive enough for the pres
ent restless, rushing civilization. Old
things are passing away. The sail
vessel once or twice a year, the lighter,
the mule teams and stage coach for
you are gone. Your history is finished.
A new era dawns. The lighthouse,
steamboat, railroad, breakwater and
improved harbor, announce the COM
ing tide of civilization and commerce.
Your name was good enough per sc,
but the associated memories are an
incubus which we do not want to car
ry in our race for the commerce of the
coming civilization.

GIVE US SOME NEW PUBLIC ulLDINGS

The Courthouse is inconvenient, an
eye-sore and ear-sore for those who
attend court. Our city offices are old
adobes of the past century, and more
suitable for station houses or rat dens
than for respectable officers of grow
ing city. AS to the Jail, it is q nui-
sance, for which the grand jury recon-
mended that the responsible parties
be indicted, if it was not put in more
comfortable condition for the prison
ers. Without commenting any fur
Their on the matter, we make the fol-
lowing suggestion: Sell the Court
house for say $4,000 or $4,000 Sell
also the city block or plaza lying on
Sixth and Hill streets. The plaza
contains twenty lots, each 6Oxl65 feet.
These will readily average $3.50 each,
or SIS, ZOO for the whole block. This
added to the price of the Courthouse,
gives $4,000 or $4,000. Let the city
add $4,000 in bonds and the county
$4,000, aggregating $4,000. Remove
the old buildings occupied by the
jailor and city offices on the corner of
Jail and Spring street. The lot fronts
about 1870 feet on Spring street and
runs back to High street, 800 feet
Widen Jail street ten or fifteen feet.
On the remaining 100 feet erect a
large commodious building, using the
lower story for city offices, Sheriff,
Assessor, etc. In the second story
provide rooms for the District and
County Courts, County Clerk, Re-
corder, Supervisors and the other
necessary rooms The Jail can be
placed on the back of the
lot or can be made a part of the base
ment of the main building. There is
no more suitable or convenient place
in this city for such building. The
street cars passing in front of it will
be great convenience to all who
transact business in the building. The
amount of siXty-five thousand dollars
will put up fine building. The Court
Houses in Santa Barbara and San
Luis Obispo did not cost near this
amount, and either one of them would
be an ornament to this city. a pri-
vate person could put up the building
for siXty-five thousand dollars. So
can our officers who would have charge
of the work.
Keep this matter in your minds,
think it over, improve on the sugges-
lions and develop plan that will re-
suit in giving our city and county
buildings suitable for our business.
Let it be done for the benefit of the
county. Do not let it be a job to plum
der the public funds.

the form of n letter to II. H. Haight and
others, touching the authors connection with
the Code Commission and the causes of his
resignation; touching also the future treat

matter, and should engage the attention Of
every lawyer in the State. The author is evil
IDENTIFY master of his subject, and has given to
it an unsparng, analytical. demonstrative
treatment The work has come in a most OPP
perfume moment, containing, as it does, more
important recommendations as to the mode
ofamending the Codes.

WHAT is THE MATTER WITH THE APPLE
AND PEACH TREES?

We have noticed for several years
that the apple and the peach trees
show lack of vigor for which there is
apparent no adequate cause. 1t is
late in the season before any sign
of life is manifested by the buds, and
when the leaves start it is only isola-
ted tufts, leaving long spaces Of naked
bark without leaf or bud. Why is it :?
This certainly cannot indicate state
of health in the trees. A gentleman
from Anaheim, who has watched the
growth of orchards there tells us that
SO far as he has observed, trees display
vigor and perfect health for the first
few years of their growth, and then
permanently decay. Can the eXpla-
nation be that they exhaust in the
first few years of their growth some
vital food elements in the soil and
then undergo process Of slow starva-
ton ? Possibly the facts which we
published few days ago in an article
headed, "Lime for Orange Orchards"
may give hint in the right direction,
or may at least indicate the proper di-
rection for investigation. Cannot
some Of our orchardists or fruit men
tell US something about it I?

CROPS AND FARMING NEWS.

Capt. Stanley, living four miles be-
low the city, has about 1000 growing
fruit trees on his place, consisting of
English walnuts, almonds, apples,
peaches, etc. He irrigates his trees
about three times a year. Has two
acres of alfalfa from which he cut last
year about eight tons of hay, besides
keeping one cow on it. Has 100 acres
of barley about five feet high, which he
is now cutting for hay. 1t will yield
from two and half to five tons per
acre. Last year he planted about one
half an acre of Egyptian corn, called
by travellers in Egypt "durha." The
grain is about the size Of popcorn, of
a brown color, and in its growth and
appearance resembles sorgum. 1t is
planted and cultivated like ordinary
corn. After his chickens had fed upon
it through the season, he gathered 900
pounds from the half-acre. Farmers
wishing to experiment with it can
procure a small quantity from him.
Mr.. Tuthill, from Los Nietos, in
forms US that the farmers are now
busy planting corn. The old ground
is being planted and much new ground
is being broken up to be planted in
corn. The early grain is in fine condi-
tion and will yield good crop. The
San Gabriel river is carrying a very
large volume of water. There will be
no lack of water this year for those de-
string to irrigate corn crops.
Mr.. Cover sends us a note from
Temacula. He says that the crops and
grass on the Chino, Temescal and Tenn
ecula ranches are not so good as they.
is south and west of Los Angeles city.
From Santa Anna crossing to Temes-
cal the grass is fine; but from Temes-
cal to Temecula, the grass is quite
short, wild flowers being abundant.
IA good place for bee ranch.] There
is some excitement about reported dis
coveries of cinabar and placer mines
on the San Jacinto river. Parties are
stalking off claims. Temescal, Chino
and Temecula are about forty to sixty
miles southeast of this city and out
side of Los Angeles valley proper.
Mr.. c. E. White, owning a large
farm seven miles south of the city,
planted this year some mesquit grass
seed, brought from Texas. Part of the
seed was sown on strong alkali ground.
The whole planting is doing remark
ably we'll. That on the alkali is doing
best. Gophers do no damage to it.
He thinks this grass bid fair to be the
crop with which the worst alkali spots
can be transformed into the choicest
and most profite BILE pasturage.

CHANGE OF BASE.

J. M. Bassett, one of the best writers
on the Pacific Coast press, leaves to-
morrow for Los Angeles to assume ed
itorial control of the HERALD, of that
thriving and beautiful city. He will
no doubt extend the sphere of useful
ness of the HERALD, which is already a
very creditable specimen of an interior
journal. Mr.. Bassett has very large
experience in the profession, having
been for a long time connected with
metropolitan journalism and formerly
editor of the San Joaquin Republican,
which underhis management achieved
very wholesome reputation. We
commend brother Bassett to the good
graces Of the Los Angeles people, and
wish him abundant success with the
HERALD.-[S. F. Examiner, April Sd.
Mr. Bassett arrives on the Pacific to-
day, and will at once assume his du-
ties as Editor of the HERALD. During
the last week the editorial chair was
temporarily filled, until Mr.. Bassett
could arrive. We fully expect that he
will carry on the editorial department
to the entire satisfaction of this COM
munity, and with credit to himself.

A Pine Forest within Twenty Miles
Of Los Angeles.

Lying northeast from Los Angeles,
about twenty miles distant, is a
high range of mountains as shown
by our map. The range is about
twenty or thirty miles wide. After
reaching the summit there is long
distance of rolling land covered with
pine trees. Sugar and white pine
grow in immense quantities and to q
large size. Oak timber covers very
large area of the western and southern
slope up toward the summit. The
pine forest is scattered over tract of
country twenty by thirty miles.
From this forest timber was brought
by the old Mexican residents of fifty
years ago. A wooden railroad or tram
way, narrow gauge, so as to make
short curves, can be constructed up
into the timber at a cost of about
$4,000. The lnmber and fire-wood
can then be brought to the foot Of the
mountains, distance of say five
miles, down grade, and delivered at
the railroad stations at cost of about
SIS or Sic per M. for lumber, and about
81 per cord for oak wood. The land is
government land, except the odd Sec
tions which belong to the S. p. r. r.
Co. Lumber sells here at from $32 so
to $35 per M. Asto quantity, there are
five or six sailing vessels constantly
employed in bringing lumber. We
call the attention of capitalists to this
opening. There is an immense for
tune in this timber awaiting some one
who has capital and energy to carry
out the enterprise.

Usage ORANGE HEDGE PLANT.

To-day Mr.. Clapp received by Wells,
Fargo & Co.'s Express 10000 Usage
orange hedge plants, from near Chi
cago, III. The cost per thousand de-
livered in Los Angeles was about S..
They arrived in fine condition. The
warm weather since crossing the Sier-
ras has caused the little buds to start
on some of the plants.
What a comment on those persons
who can find nothing to do in Califor-
MIA! The nurserymen around Sacra-
mento and San Jose ask $l2 per l 200 for
the plants. They are sent by rail
across the continent to the consumer
in Los Angeles for thirty-three per
cent less than the California nursery
man will sell them. This State is proba-
bly, better adapted to growing hedges
of Usage orange than any other State
in the Union, and there will be a
greater demand for such fences. Where
the soil is we'll cultivated the hedge
will grow without irrigation. In fact,
it makes the best hedge when not sup
piled with too much water.
Mr.. Bowman, on the Duarte rancho,
beyond the San Gabriel Mission, is
planting large quantities of the seed.
He expects to raise half a million
plants for the coming season of 1875.
1t is his intention to agree to plant out
hedges for so much rod and he will
bring the hedge to a three-years'
growth. The farmer will have fence
that will last for century. Los An

A CARD.

Gratitude is a feeling engendered in the
heart of every human being towards one who
has immediately or remotely been the medi-
UNI by which either our sorrows or pain have
been relieved. l believe in giving utterance
to these feelings, and publishing to my fellow
citizens the source from whence my family
and myself have received great benefit
Nearly two years since my wife was taken
dangerously i'll. | tried number of Pysi-
clans, but TO no material benefit. She con-
tinued to get weaker, and became so much
reduced in strength that she could hardly
leave her bed, even for Il few moments A
little over q year since called in Dr. Joseph
kurtz. BY his unremitting care and attention
he has succeeded in restoring her to almost
perfect health. Again, my little daughter
was taken with saint Vitus Dance" She
was so bad at times that could not hold con-
versation with her I placed her under the
care of DR.. Joseph Kunz; She has by. his
skillful treatment entirely recovered from
this terrible disease To his skill and earnest
attention l attribute the restoration to health
of these members of my family; and here,
publicly thanking the Doctor, I recommend
him to all who need the. services of true,
