Los Angeles daily herald., 1875-03-27
New Volume.

This morning the DAILY HERALD
commences its fourth volume. Dur
ing the short time that it has labored
in the journalistic field, the HERALD
has done something for itself, and we
have reason to believe it has materi.
ally advanced the interests of Los
Angeles valley. 1t has been the aim
and object of the paper to assist in the
development of the vast resources of
this part of the State by placing in the
hands of the public unexaggerated de-
scriptions of the soil and its products,
together with such other information
as would induce immigration. That
these efforts have been to a great ex-
tent successful is attested by the hun
dreds of newcomers who have assured
us that their first information relative
to Los Angeles valley was obtained
from the columns of the HERALD. In
this good work we intend to go on un-
til Southern California is as well
known as the Sacramento and San
Joaquin valleys. The journals of this
city have a broad field in which to
operate. We represent vast area
full of comparatively undeveloped re-
sources. The best and most effective
method for utilizing this great wealth
is to make known its existence-to
tell of the rich valleys, the fertile
PLAINS, the exhaustless mines and the
mild climate and sunny skies. 1t has

WILL some one please inform the
people why gold continues to advance?
1t is now worth 1164, and New York
banks assert with a degree of conf
dence which implies that they know
what they are talking about, that it
will continue to advance. Why is
this The effect is bad; it is even
dangerous to the credit of the nation.
in time of profound peace, with an
administration that processes to be
pure and honest, we find the Govern
ment paper steadily decreasing in
value, which is an evidence that the
Government credit is slowly but sure
ly declining. Why is this? Will
some of the administration organs ex-
plain this phenomenon without reflec-
tion on disparagement of their mas
tarc
Los Angeles daily herald., 1875-03-27
Building Improvements.

In addition to those structures but
recently completed and others now
partially constructed, we are to have
quite a number of new buildings
erected in the course of the Summer.
The new bank building, on the East
side of Main street, opposite the foot
of Temple street, will be commenced
in a few days. Mr.. 1. w. HELLMAN
will erect fine two-story brick on
Main, near Court street. Mr.. F. P. F.
TEMPLE will continue his block on
Spring street and Governor DowNEY
intends to complete Downey Block
back to New High street and add an
other story to the entire block. Ru-
NOR says that Mrs. STEARNs will, this
Summer, cover the entire space now
owned by her between Main and Los
Angeles streets, with three. story
brick block. These are all business
houses. To enumerate the dwellings
building and to be built, would fill
columns.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1875-03-27
Our Railroads.

1t now seems pretty evident that by
the close of this year Los Angeles will
be the diverging point for great
many miles of railroad. The South
ern Pacific will be completed to Indian
Wells, a distance of 160 miles from
this city; the Los Angeles and Inde-
pendence road will certainly be built
from TruxtOn to Cajon Pass, dis
tance of 80 miles. These, with the
Wilmington, San Fernando and Ana
helm roads, already in operation, will
aggregate about 1926 miles of railroad,
every mile of which will be tributary
to Los Angeles. We make no men,
tion of the gap in the Southern Pa
cific between San Fernando and Ba-
kersfield, which we have the strongest
reasons for believing will be narrowed
down to a few miles within the next
eight months. These railroad facili-
ties are what is needed to secure the
rapid and permanent development of
Southern California. They will bring
us trade and population, and these
two make the wealth of country.
Our interior roads, penetrating the
mining sections-those sections which
consume the products of the farm and
produce only the precious metals
will give an impulse.to our agriculture
greater than we can now picture.
Railroads are the most rapid of devel-
opers, and the city from which they
radiate is always an active, enterpris-
ing business centre.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1875-03-27

been said that Los Angeles valley is
better written up than any other por-
tion of the State. This is a compli-
ment to the HERALD and its local
contemporaries which all have labored
to deserve. The day is not distant
when we shall have more to write
about-when Improvements suggested
are made; when enterprises urged are
realizations of the day-then Los An
geles valley will be still better writ
ten up. The newspapers of Los Ange-
les have never faltered in the task of
advocating the best interests of the
city and county. The HERALD, for
one, will continue its work with steady
purpose and untirihg zeal.

Suits Against the Pacific Railroads.

the Treasury to be due the Govern

or Acts in relation to the respective

COId-BloOded Murder.


JACKSONVILLE, Or, March 25th. =
One of the boldest murders ever COM
mitted in this county has just come
to light. Last February William
Curry and Chester Bardon drove away
band of sheep belonging to Daniel
Mcmahon, who was herding them on
Little Butte creek, twenty miles from
here. Curry claimed to have bought
them, but as Mcmahon was missing,
foul play was suspected. Saturday
last both were arrested on Elk creek,
Douglas county, and Tuesday We're
Jailed here. Cvrry has made a full
confession, directing the officers to the
spot where McMahon's body is con-
cealed. The Coroner left this morn
ing with a party to hold an inquest.
Full developments are expected to-
morrow
