vice:
Use fiction as you would spices

quart Of cloves, nor eXhausts the
cruet, at single meal. These
things may be used with modera-
ton to season ones food with,
but they are not to be used alone (;
and so fiction, while they are not

be used with discretion to season
life with. II you find that using
them brings you back to duty
with more alacrity, with more
cheer, and with more aptitude, if
you find that it makes you better
in your relations to your fellow
men, then it does not hurt you,
and you are at liberty to use them.
But if you lind that using them
makes you morose; if you find
that it gives you n distaste for
work; if you find that it inclines
YOU to run into a hole that you
may get away from your fellow

you unkind, disobliging and sell

whether it Injuries anybody else
or not, it Injuries you.

The Statement Business.

Mr.. BEEcHER is preparing a state
mems in response to MoULToN's last
document and he is so far along with
it that we may begin to look for the
privileged extracts - the authors
proofs-in short time. This will of
course draw another shot from MoUL-
TON and perhaps a broadside from
TILToN's battery. 1t appears to us
that as far as any good is likely to
come from it this statement business
might as we'll be brought to close.
In the way of light literature, these
Statements" were all very well for a
time but like the interminable stories
of SYLvANUs COBB Jr., they have be-
come dull, stale and Improbable. Not
to put too fine point upon it, they
have assumed the nature of bore,
and the people are weary of them.
They prove nothing but the logical
powers of their arthors and they con-
vince no one of the guilt or innocense
of the parties accused. The BEECHER-
TILToN scandal has reached point
where nothing can be proven-no
charge sustained or rrefuted-outside of
court of justice. No unsworn state
ment of the parties concerned will be
credited. 1t is even doubtful that af-
fidavits will be accepted as fact where
they do not prove what the reader
wishes to believe.

The Future of Los Angeles.

EDITOR HERALD: You and your
contemporaries are in ecstacies over
the recent visit Of capitalists and what
they say about our future; also the
indications of their willingness to aid
the enterprises now inaugurated which
are calculated to develop our country.
This is all very well, and we rejoice
with you in this; but to secure the as
sistance of our friends in these import
ant enterprises it is necessary that our
own citizens should become more act
i've in this important work. We have
strong men and capitalists among us,
who ought to come to the front with
subscriptions proportionate to their
means. This done, there are hundreds
of men of smaller means who will fol-
low their example. One united effort
upon the part of the willing minds of
our county will secure to US all we now
hope for.
This is our grand opportunity,
which, if accepted in the proper spirit,
will lead to great prosperity; but if we
let it slip, the tide will ebb and we will
be left to repeat the melancholy phrase,
1T might have been"
We have made these remarks be-
cause we are satisfied that the prom
ises of the capitalists, about which so
much has been said, were made with
a proviso.
OLD RESIDENT.
Los Angeles Sent IL 1874
Los Angeles daily herald., 1874-09-18

Mr.. FRANK PYLE, who is to super
intend the placing in position of the
five Alden evaporators owned by Mr..
GEORGE B. DAVIS, arrived per Orizaba
yesterday, and from him we learn that
the entire machinery will be in opera
ton within the next twenty days.
One or more of the evaporators may
be ready for work before, but the en-
tire works will not be completed before
the time named, which Mr.. PYLE says
will be in ample time for the now
ripening grape crop. We learn that
the grape makes the best raisin when
dead ripe.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1874-09-18
Our Valley.

There is no place on the Pacific coast
that is attracting more attention
abroad than Los Angeles, and there is
no section which is improving more
rapidly than our valley. Immigra-
tion is coming in; enterprises are pro-
crossing; houses are building; farms
are improving; groves are growing,
and land is increasing in value. We
are doing well-our city is increasing
Its population, extending it's proper
tions, and adding to it's beauty of ap-
pearance-but we can do still better.
Los Angeles valley is capable of sup
porting million people; it now con-
tains less than thirty thousand. There
are miles and miles of rich soil yet a
stranger to the plowshare. There are
thousands of acres we'll adapted to
fruit growing over which sheep are
grazing now. There are millions and
millions of gallons of unused water
which may be utilized in irrigating
these broad acres. We need one hun
dred thousand men and women imme-
diately. Their homes are here, and
at no distant day they will come and
occupy them. We may hasten their
arrival. The development of resources
is the loadstone that attracts popula-
tion. When the road to homes and
wealth is once opened, it will soon be
thronged with those seeking the prizes
to be found at the journeys end. Be
sides our rich soil and magnificent
climate, we are the natural outlet for
the vast yet undeveloped mineral
wealth which lies to the east of us,
and it Is our duty to make the channel
for the transportation of that wealth
as cheap and rapid as possible. The
building of railroad to the interior
such as contemplated by the Los An
geles and Independence Railroad
Company, will give greater impetus
to the development and rapid settle
ment of this portion of the State than
any other one thing that can be done.
The completion of this road will add
twenty thousand to the population of
this city and forty thousand to the
population of this county within two
Los Angeles daily herald., 1874-09-18

years. The increase in wealth will of
course be proportionately great. To
accomplish this requires an effort-an
immediate ef1ort-on the part of our
people. We must support the action
of those capitalists who propose to
come here and invest their money in
our railroad enterprise. They will not
build the road alone, and if we show
no disposition to assist in a work from
which we shall derive such immense
benefit, we may depend on it that the
promised capital from abroad will not
be forthcoming and we shall be left
alone in our apathy.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1874-09-18

MIR. WILCOX, the inventor Of the
Wilcox water litter, arrived yester-
day. He comes to Los Angeles with
a view of making a permanent home
among us. He proposes to move his
machinery down from San Francisco,
and establish his factory here. Mr..
WILCOX believes his litter will come
into general use in this valley, super
ceding the wind mill and the steam
engine as the motive power for raising
water. With it, twenty-five or thirty
thousand gallons of water may be
raised in twelve hours, at cost not
exceeding fifty cents. The water is so
near the surface that these lifters will
raise almost any given quantity the
required distance at a very light ex-
pense for fuel.
