Wood is King!

EDITOR HERALD: Within the last
month the article of firewood, which
every family must have, has appreci-
ated enormously in price. On inquir-
ing into the cause, we are told that
our paternal government has just now
discovered the cause of the shrinkage
in its revenues, and consequent failure
to shrink our national debt. 1t is
owing entirely to the vandalism of a
few poor woodchoppers in Los Angeles
county who persist in raiding upon
mountain cafIOns and hillsides and de-
stroying the scrub-oak, sycamore and
manzanilla roots that exc out preca-
rious existence thereon - the said
caflons and hillsides being counted
among the royal possessions of the
aforesaid paternal government.
With the view of stopping this stu
pendous leak in the public treasury,
our wise Uncle has commissioned a
swarm of terribly honest officers
(whose united salaries only amount to
about ten times the worth of the tim
Der destroyed) to put stop to this ne
farious business-and we poor subjects
of Los Angeles are called upon to pay
twenty dollars for about three-quarters
of q cord of wood, or eat cur beef
steak raw and drink our coffee cold.
In all this our respected Uncle re-
minds us very much of the owl
perched in dark barn-he can see
through the cracks, but put him in
open daylight and he is totally blind
In Washington, where our Uncle re-
sides, in the broad daylight of every
species of rascality and villainy, he
can see nothing; but through the
cracks he can see away over into the
deep caf1ons of Los Angeles county
and detect these rascally woodchop-
pers raiding upon his scrub-oaks, syc-
amores and manZanilla roots! And by
this thin regard for public interests,
compel us to pay twenty dollars per
cord for wood-more than the whole
of which goes to pay his minions for
harrassing the people.
We have no objection, and really it
is the duty of our Government to pro-
tect from vandalism our forests of
valuable timber; but when it's vigil
ance extends to scrub oaks, syca-
mores and manZanilla roots in the
deep recesses of cai1ons round and
about populous city, we are inclined
to think it is looking through the
cracks of the barn."

San Francisco Circus.

BY an advertisement in another col
umn, it will be seen that the Great
San Francisco Circus will be here and
commence their exhibition on the
18th of this month. In speaking of
this combination the Santa Cruz Sen
tinel, of late date, says: "The San
Francisco Circus Company gave very
satisfactory exhibition in Santa Cruz
on Monday evening last, and were
greeted in return with a crowded tent.
The performance was good through
out, and though the performers We're
weared after hard days travel from
Pescadero, they acquitted themselves
so as to delight all the spectators"
