Editor Grange Advance, Sir:
As presume you would like to note all
the improvements in stock in this COUNTY
l would inform you that have lust arrived
home with three thorough bred, short horn
bulls and one thorough bred COW and 6ve
high grade heifers, which I purchased in
Galway county, Missouri.
Very Respectfully, Subscriber.
WM. L. KINTON.
[Good. We do wish to hear of all i'm
provements Of stock in this State. and to
hear more additions to the number of
blooded stock than are now beinp made
The keeping Of poor scrub stock in this
State does not pay: the winters are too
long, and too much feed is required. The
best grades, Of stock can be kept with warm
stabling almost as cheaply as the poorest
grades, and they are worth just about ten
times as much.-ED. ADVANCED

to see no" this problem is so1ted. If my

In other words the %.@hines bought of 9th.

think our comeuUu ind hardy shrubs have
been too little appreciated. There is the
lilac. how often do We see it stuffed into
some corner and let it grow in an insight
ly clump? Now it should be trained up in
tree and the young shoots cut down.
The size Of the flowers are doubled when
grown in this way, and few looks we'll in

roses fare no better. They put me in
mind Of ourselves, struggling as they do
for existence, and blooming so imperfectly
in the weeds, while their more beautiful
sisters get all the praise and culture. Now
trim those cinnamon roses to one or two
stalks, prune close, and give them few

and soap suds on washing days, and you
will be surprised At their beauty and rich

In the Field.

In his own paper, the Express, Mr..
TIFFANY announces himself candi-
date for Mayor, and proceeds to say he
"is the candidate upon whom the
support of our best citizens should
center" Mr.. TIFFANY should partic-
ularize. His estimate of himself is
perhaps correct, with the exception
that he is not sufficiently explicit in
the matter of what class of our best
citizens should center on him. We
have a number of excellent citizens
genial gentlemen = who have con-
trolled our city formany years. They
are the owners of exclusive fran
chises," "sole rights" and that sort
of thing. These gentlemen are the
class of best citizens from whom, we
presume, Mr.. TIFFANY expects his
support. After the modest conclusion
that our best citizens should center on
him, Mr.. TIFFANY ventures to assert
F" that he has never been and is not
now identified with any of the cliques,
rings, combinations or corporations
which are charged, rightfully or
wrongfully, with having been instru-
mental in the mal-government of the
past" We are afraid that in this
paragraph Mr.. TIFFANY has taxed the
credulity of the people little too
severely. The good mans warmest
friends would tremble for his votes, if
once assured that he was thrown over
by the ring. He may deny his identi-
fication with cliques, but it would be
worse than useless--it would be vio-
lating truth-to deny that he is the
candidate of the ring. In this respect,
to use the language of his own paper,
" Mr.. TIFFANY occupies no doubtful
or ambiguous position before this
munity." rtaf
Los Angeles daily herald., 1874-11-06
Damages! DAMAGES l!

The Los Angeles Water Company
has sued the Herald for twenty five
thousand dollars damages. The al
legged cause of this damage is para
graph which appeared in the HERALD
some days ago, from which the infer
ence might be drawn that the water
furnished this city was not as pure as
an angels dream or as promotive of
longevity as virtuous, habits and a
clear conscience. To the truth or falls
ity of this intimation it Is not neces-
sary teldevote time and space. The
Courts will determine that point But
of the Company's claim something
may be said. That they think they
are damaged to the extent claimed,
we shall not dispute, for thecomplaint
must be sworn to; therefore we shall
not assume to dispute q mans belief
in what he under oath solemnly af-
firms. That the Company is damaged
to the. extent, of a single cent through
the HERAL Ids article is something We
cannot bring ourselves to believe. We
reach this conclusion through a calm
and dispassionate consideration of
few facts: First, asno other company
is furnishing this city with water,
those who use the article atall must
patronize the Water Company or re-
sort to the zanjas, and the Express has
shown that to adopt the latter alterna-
tive is simply TO fly in the face of
zanja water is deadly
poison. Second, the Company have
no water metres; they do not sell
water by the foot or pound or ton. A
houseusing the Company's water is
required to pay so much money per
month in advance for water--not for
SO, many thousand feet of water, as in
the case of gas. For instance, we will
suppose JOHN SMITH pays the Water
Company four dollars per month for
water used at his residence.
Well, one, morning. JOHN SMITHS
wifeI or Chinese i servant draws
the leg eofNa frog, the bead
of lizzard or the entirety of a
young snake from the water fawcet.
JOHN SMITH is disgusted; he vows he
will drink no more Los Angeles water.
He keeps that VOW and takes to lager
beer and Cucamongo wine; but does
his water bill decrease and is the
Water Company loser through his
vowing q vow and religiously keeping
that vow? Not u cent. JOHN SMITHS
water bill is precisely the same as be-
fore the leg of a frog, the head of a liz
zard or the entirety of a young snake
made its entry into his house through
the Los Angeles Water Company's
pipes. How, then, can the HERALD's
statement injure the Water Company?
The thing cannot be done. We would
as soon undertake to move the world
without y fulcrum as to injure the Los
Angeles Water Company. They are
imp egnable as the rock of Gibraltar.
You must buy their water or drink

City Builders.

Mr.. TIFFANY's paper assures the
citizens of Los Angeles that he is q
progressive man, useful man, man
of the times, an energetic man, one of
those men who help to expand town
to the dimensions of city. We have
never heard of any great enterprise
which Mr.. TIFFANY inaugurated and
carried out, nor do we believe, with
the Express, that lie is the ATLAS on
whose shoulders rests the world. If
an energetic and useful man is
our little cotemporary's idea of a
model Mayor, it should Immediately
advocate the election of Mr.. BEAU
DRY. He has done much toward ex-
panding the proportions and increasing
the wealth of Los Angeles. In 1870
he built ten houses; in 1871 he built
two houses, one costing over $4,000.
In 1873 he spent over SIC, 900 in efforts
TO sink artesian wells within the city
limits. In 1874 he laid 10000 feet of
water pipe, and at cost of over $40, 900
established water works that have al
ready added hundreds of thousands of
dollars to the taxable property of the
city. He has in course of construc-
tion ten cottage houses and is engaged
in grading Temple and Olive streets
work which will cost not less than
$1,000. The Council has ordered the
grading of Olive street between Sec
ond and Fourth streets, and his share
OF the work will cost $1,000 and the
grading of Second street will cost So
900 more. All this money is expended
and the building and work done with
in the city. Mr.. BEAUDEy is GER
tainly useful and valuable citizen to
Los. Angeles. He has made and is
making many valuable improve
ments. In making these improve
ments he expends his own money and
asks nor receives special franchises or
subsidy donations. If Mr.. TIFFANyis
paper is looking for man for Mayor
whe spends thousands and tens of
thousands of dollars per annum in
building up the city, it will find him
ia the person of Mr.. BEAUDRY.

Gas Explosion at Chico.

to-day the Maxim gas in this town
gave out. Mr.. Fuller, the manager of

before it had done much damage. Mr..
