Utilize the Water.

The effect Of the irrigation law,
passed at the last session of the Legis-
lature, on this valley is already marked
in those localities where bitches are to
be constructed in accordance with the
provisions of the law. A very decided
advance in the value of land is quoted,
and the demand for such land is in
creasing quite rapidly. There is no
doubt but that our people are begin
ming to realize the great necessity of
saving and utilizing water with the
same care that they do their money.
When they have thoroughly learned
this lesson we shall see but little land
in all this broad valley that is not
susceptible of irrigation. What with
windmills, Wilcox steam lifters and
careful saving of the volume furnished
by the living streams, water will be
abundant. The water of the Santa
Ana river will all be utilized next
season, and nearly two hundred thou
sand acres of rich soil hitherto nom
productive, made to produce abundant
crops with the same regularity that
the seasons come and go. Senator
MACLAY is showing what private en-
terprise may do in the way of saving
and utilizing water. In a short time
he will have the town of San Fernando
amply supplied with pure, cold water
from a mountain stream. He will not
stop with pouring the stream into the
town. In few months-at least in
time for next years planting-he will
run pipes over the fifty thousand acres
lying around San Fernando, and thus
enable those who wish to cultivate the
land to irrigate every foot of the soil.
What he is doing, others may do. The
water may be found in abundance, and
all that is wanting to convey it where
it will do the most good is system,
method and industry.

Opinion of Exchanges.

Our exchanges contain many favor
able comments on the plan now being
carried out by Mr. J. A. JOHNSON, for
placing the advantages offered by
Southern California to immigrants
before the thousands who are anxious
to find home of their own, but who
in reality know nothing of the Pacific
Coast. In our own opinion the merits
of the plan cannot be over estimated.
1t is, in fact, the only feasible method
that has yet been suggested, and hap
PLY it is the conception of a man
whose practical good sense, untiring
energy and thorough business quail
ties guarantee it success. He is TAX
ing no steps in the dark. Before it is
made every move is carefully consid-
cred and its results anticipated. The
Photographic views, already numbered
by hundreds, are taken with especial
reference to the amount of impartial
history of the country, this will con-
vey to beholders, and the historical
data accompanying each is brief,
concise, narrative of well substantiated
fac.s. Only think of the effect these
photographs and the statistical in
formation will have on the thousands
intelligent and industrious men
and women, of the old world, who are
we ,ry of the toll and drudging that
only enables them to exc out miser-
able existence! The information will
inspire untold numbers to come here
and make for themselves what their
is no hope of doing in the land of their
birth, homes-happy homes of their
own. It seems almost matter of re-
greet that an undertaking which is des-
tined to work such great good should
be confined to one section. 1t would
seem that our whole State should be
included-that Siskiyou, as we'll as San
Diego, should be represented-and we
almost wonder that Mr.. JOHNSON has
not selected San Francisco, in place of
Santa Barbara, for his field of opera
tion.

Reduced Freights and Fares.

The managers of the Union Pacific
and the Central Pacific Railroads re-
Gently met at Ogden for the purpose of
holding a conference OH the subject of
freights and fares. 1t is understood
that the meeting was called with a
view of reducing the rates of transport
tation on through freight and travel,
and we now understand that arrange
ments looking to that end have been
agreed upon. We do not seek for the
reason that prompted the two compa-
mics to this action. The curious may
possibly find it in the announcement
that since the failure of the attempted
combination between the railroads
and the Pacific Mail Steamship Com
pany the freighting business of the
latter has largely increased. This in
crease, nor no considerable portion of
it, is due to an increased demand for
freighting accommodations, and the
conclusion is unavoidable that the adj
vance in the business by way of Pan
anna has produced an almost cores
ponding decline in the carrying trade
of the overland railroads. 1t has been
apparent for some time that our Pacific
coast shippers were wearying of the
high rates imposed by the railroad and
were growing FESTIVE under the hun
bred little annoyances to which they
were forced to submit through the
ignorance and despotism of petty Off
GERS of the road. 1t is clear freights
have fallen off heavily, and to regain
as much as possible of this lost trade
was no doubt the object of the late con-
ference at Ogden. At any rate, the
Central Pacific managers have re-
turned to San Francisco and announced
that in short time schedule of rates
for overland freights and fares consid-
erably below that now in use will be
published. 1t would have been to the
company's advantage to have made
these reductions some months ago, and
few months hence they will have
reason to regret that they did not
make corresponding reduction ovel
their roads throughout this State.

Tulare Items.
From the Times of June G.


\ man named Berry, residing be-
low Tulare City, while riding with
several others on a hand car, was
thrown from the car by its stopping
suddenly, and fell through Kings
river bridge, distance of thirty-five
feet. He sustained a compound frac-
ture of the lower jaw, dislocation of
the left wrist, a severe sprain of the
right ankle, besides being considera-
bly, cut and bruised over the whole
face and body. Drs. Russell and Assay
went down on Monday and reduced
the fracture and dislocation, and left
the injured man in as comfortable a
condition as possible.
Land in the Mussel Slough country
is rapidly increasing in value; much
that was settled but few months
ago, is now worth from $50 to $50 per
acre.
Mr.. Andross, the successor of Mr..
Payne as Receiver in the Land Office,
at this place, has arrived and entered
upon his duties. Mr.. Andross has
been the Senator from Tuolumne
county for the past four wears.

Law and Protection.

Over the signature OF "Lex," cor
respondent of the Express regrets that
the HERALD gives its sanction to the
mode and manner by which " Ell Cor
do,n the Mexican who attempted to
murder the TURNER family, left this
mundane sphere. First, the HERALD
did not editorially give its sanction to
the unlawful taking-of of the MUIR
derer. The HERALD believes in the
maintenance and enforcement of the
law, so long as the law is able to main
tain order. When the law is power
less to maintain the peace and to
preserve the lives and property of citi-
zens, then we believe in assisting the
law to the attainment of those ends,
The proposition that mob law is not
justifiable in any case may hold in
communities where unlawful killing
is in every instance held to be murder,
but the people of California do not rec
ognize the invariable correctness of
either axiom. There are instances on
the Pacific Coast where justice can
only be attained through unlawful
acts. The hanging of "El Gordo" was
one of these instances No one will
say that the wretch received more than
he merited, and no one will pretend to
argue that he would ever have been
hanged by process of law. There are
instances in our State where men are
shot down like dogs, and the commu-
nifty to a man endorses the killing, yet
it is unlawful. 1t was not the Next
cans fault that, he did not commit a
treble murder. He did his utmost
to that end, and it was only through
the intrepid GOODNESS of Mrs. TURNER
that he did not succeed. If he had
succeeded in destroying the family
and then died as he did, the violation
of the law would have been the same
as it was. We deprecate mob law as
sincerely as "Lex,n but we recognize
the principle of self-preservation as
the first law of nature-a principle
underlying all law. When it comes
to question of shoot or be shot, there.
are but few men who will not shoot.
When a community realizes that they
must hang somebody or be murdered,
hanging is very apt to commence.
While we are glad to know that Gel
Gordo" was hanged, We are sorry
that he was unlawfully hanged;
but as he could not be lawfully
hanged, we do not regret that
he was hanged. We are not
an advocate of capital punishment,
yet that there are thousands of men
who ought to be hanged, is an opinion
fire cannot burn out of us. Virtually
capital punishment is abolished in this
State. Under the new law not one in
thousand murderers will reach the
rope. Experience in other and more
civilized States than California has
demonstrated that the abolition of
capital punishment is always followed
by an increase of crime. This will be
the case here. If We do not legally
hang murderers, they will be hanged
illegally. We may preach law and
order as long and as strong as We like,
but when the people find the law will
not protect them, they will protect
themselves. We must protect our
selves-legally if possible; but we
must protect ourselves.

Total.

These gifts are to be in gold coin, and
to secure their payment, Mr.. LICK
conveys to T. H. SELBY, D. o. MILLS,
A. M. NEwHALL, VIM. ALvoRD, G.
H. HOWARD, JAMES Otis and J. o.
EARL, all his real estate, consisting of
fifty lots in San Francisco, lots in San
Jose, his homestead near San Jose of
1O3 acres, $50 acres near Alviso, a
tract in Placer county, and Catalina
Island, about $4,000 acres, off the
coast of Los Angeles. The Trustees
have accepted the trust and the deed
is already on record. 1t is a large
sum of money. The Trustees are all
good men, and so long as they live all
will go on well, but they cannot live
always, and when they die forty or
fifty private fortunes will be made out
of the munificence of a good man who
thinks he has done all for the best.

THE Bulletin concludes that the way

The Bulletin concludes that the way
in which the "Monte Boys" explain
how Ell Gordo's cravat caught in a
limb and suspended him in mid-air,
comes under the head of every ill
timed Joking" When one remembers
the history of the Bulletin, and recalls
to mind that it owes it's very exist
ence to the unlawful shedding Of hui
man blood, its affected horror over
the "Monte Boys'' description of ow
the Mexican went off, will appear in
the light of hypocritcal cant.

While the school girls were at play
back of the Equipment building of the
Mare Island Navy Yard, on Thursday,
they were startled by the appearance
of snake crawling in the grass. Their
screams attracted the attention of.sev-
eral men who were passing by, and
who came to the spot and killed the
reptile, which proved to be large rat
tlesnake, having nine rattles and a
button.
