ENDORSEMENT OF THE
HON. J. ROSS BROWNE
SAN FRANCISCO, November 2s, ls

SAN FRANCISCO, November 2S, 1874.
VIM. HI. MARTIN, General Agent California
Immigrant Union-Dear Sir:-l have just Wis
tied the "Centinela and Sausa1 Redondo"
Rancho, and driven over the land described in
your advertisement. With all my experience
in the southern part of California, have seen
nothing to surpass this traetin fertility of soil,
beauty of location, and advantage of easy ac-
cess and salubrity OF climate. For purposes OF
colonization, l know ofno large body of land
so near a growing commercial centre, in Cali
fornia or elsewhere, 10 equal it. No part of IL
is unavailable for farms, orchards or home
steads. 1t can be subdivided into lots ranging
from five acres to several hundred acres and
every acre OF IL can be made productive. Water
is abundant and convenient The land Is
subject to easy. irrigation; and can vouch for
the fact that 1t will produce anything that
fiourishes In Los Angeles or santa Barbara
counties. It's my confident opinion that the
value of shares in this magnificent tract VII |
be quadrupled within two years--such Is the
extraordinary influx OF immigration to the
vicinity of Los Angeles at the present time.
Wishing you success In your undertaking,
am. very truly yours. j. Ross BROWNE.

John Began and Henry DriscoIl un-
derwent a preliminary examination
before Judge Gray yesterday on the
charge of robbing a Chinese merchant
of $50. They were held over to ap-
pear before the superior Court. 1t now
turns out that Began is notorious
criminal and eX-conviet from the
Michigan Penitentiary. He also has
a sentence of murder awaiting him in
Salt Lake. Detective officer Harris
yesterday received telegram from
the authorities at that place, notify
ing him to hold the culprit until the
arrival of an officer to take charge of
him. Began is desperate man and

An Enquiry.

EDITOR HERALD: Please inform
the people of Los Angeles who are the
members of the Chamber of Com
merce how many We're present when
those big resolutions were passed
which were sent by telegraph to Con-
gress. have heard it said there were
but six or seven present, and two of
these dissented when the vote was
taken on the resolutions. If this be
true, what right had that little squad
to use the name of the Chamber of
Commerce when they telegraphed
those resolutions to Congress? The
people are all interested and have a
right to inquire into these things.
