There are hands that arc whittier and softer,
On which labor has never left a stain:
There never were hearts that were truers

There may be other steam pumps as
good as the Wilcox, but certainly
none so cheap in price, SO simple in
construction, or SO cheap and safe to
operate as this one.
WILL STATE
That am no agent for, nor have any
interest whatever in the success of the
Wilcox pump, other than desire to
see our hitherto neglected table lands
converted into orchards and grape
fields, when they will, with their SUI
peri0r climate, soon become the most
desirable localities in the county.
There is always more or less trouble
connected by irrigating from Q stream

whereas if man has control of his
own water he is Independent of others
and need have no quarrels, with his
neighbors, as is often, the case when,
during the Summer months, every
body needs more water than his just
allowance.
If other parties, who have had expe-
rience in raising water to the surface
for irrigation, would publish the cost
and capacity Of :heir pumps, I think
they would do the public great serv-
ice. There are some good pumps
worked by horse power in the upper

OFTEN RECEIVE LETTERS
From the Eastern States and from
Europe inquiring about Los Angeles,
and one of the first questions generally
asked is, "What is the price of land
suitable for orange culture? If can
answer and say, "Such land can be
bought for thirty dollars per acre, ir-
rigation done by horse power or steam
at small COST" there will be no OBJ
lection found with the price; but when
unimproved land is held at from one
hundred dollars per acre and upwards,
the inducements held forth of what an
orange tree will produce when ten
years old will generally not overcome
the first heavy cash outlay.

The Dead Lock Broken.

Dispatches from Des Moines in the dali
lies of this morning, indicate that the long
and weary contest over the organization
Of the House, is ended by compromise.
The Republicans have made several very
magnanimous offers to compromise, at
several stages of he contest, all of which
were rejected by the opposition until they
began to see unmistakable signs Of weak
ness and disgust in their own ranks,
when they concluded to accept the last
tender of the Republicans, made last
night. The terms of the compromise,
which all will acknowledge are exceeding
ly liberal, are as follows:
The Republicans are to have the speak,
err; the Anti-Monopolists are to have all
the officers except speaker; the chair
men of the standing committees are to he
Republicans, and the membership of the
committees to be divided between the
parties equally; the Anti Monopolists are
to have the chairmanships of the investi
eating committees, and a majority of the
members of said committees
This of course insures the election Of
Weart as chief clerk, and that fills the
measure of his desires. 1t is not at all
likely that our agile friend is weeping
himself thin over the defeat of his guam.
