Real Estate in Los Angeles County.

Some of our resident population
complain of the price of real estate in
this county, and make it the phantom
which is to drive away immigration
from our borders, but their objections
are not tenable. Land can be obtained
at all prices, from the Government
pittance to one thousand dollars an
acre. Location, improvements and
water facilities fix the relative value,
and the grumbler can be accommo-
dated with any quality and quantity
of land, from the homestead to n
princely domain worth half million
dollars. 1t is not surprising that men
who have laid out fortunes in provid-
ing never-failing water for irrigation
should refuse to sell at beggarly
price, but it is rather ungrateful for
land buyers to object to paying them
for their enterprise. In the Eastern
States agriculturists have only few
months for planting and harvesting,
and then the cold wintry blast Is on
them, compelling them to house and
feed their stock, yet their land is
worth a fabulous figure. Guano, bone
dust, phosphates and other expensive
fertilizers are the aids to their worm
out soil, and good crop requires eX
pensive labor and the greatest watch
fulness. Frosts, insects, floods and
intense heat are the annual enemies
of the harvest, and yet the same over
worked farmers will come here and
raise series of crops, almost without
labor. Here the farmer tickles the
earth and it laughs harvest, stock
riam on boundless pasture, while
overhead cloudless atmosphere re-
freshes tired humanity. The power
of the soil here, where water can be
had, is almost infinite. The farmer
is independent of seasons, drouths and
other calamities; one crop is succeed
ed by another, and each is equally
profitable and finds ready sale. The
value Of the enterprise of certain land
owners, who have dug bitches, and
constructed fumes, is not appreciated,
but the next generation will do them
proper honor, and ascribe all our pros
perity to their foresight and energy.

By an examination of Philadelphia
papers we find that Moody and San
key are conducting their revival
meetings on a grand scale, similar to
Pat Gilmore's monster concerts. They
have had engaged for them the old
Pennsylvania Freight Depot, build
ing $50 by $50 feet, which will seat
11,000 persons, and they have a select
choir of three hundred singers. Moe
dy's sermons are common place read
ing and when the history of these re-
vivals is written, in the calm future,
Moody will be more noted for lung
power than for any particular God
like gift. Moody has u choir of three
hundred singers, but Jesus Christ de-
livered the Sermon on the Mount with
out harp or choir accompaniment and
rode to the CrucifiXion on an ass.

A BONANZA IL THE VALLEY.-The
Sacramento Hcraid says that on Satur-
day last a boy engaged in rolling the
plowed land on G. f. Reeds land near
Knights Landing, found n number of
silver coins lying around loose. He in
formed others, wlo repaired to the spot,
and by digging soon unearthcd about
$500, nearly all silver, except few gold
pieces. The coin is mostly very old,
principally Peruvian and French, and
nearly all bears the date of the 18th CEN
tury, one piece being plainly marked
1928. How the money got there nobody
processes to know, but it is supposed to
be portion of the $3O, 600 which old man
Knight, after whom the town was named,
used to say was buried somewhere in the
vicinity, and as he was the only one who
knew exactly where the secret died with
him. Prospectors have baen busy in the
vicinity hunting for bonanzas Of similar
character, but as yet none others have
been discovered.

HOME MADE LAW IN SIERRA.-Three

tied the Chinaman and hung him up
by the toes to eXtort a confession. He
hung this way until nearly dead. lie
had his prosecutors arrested, but after a
day or two he disappeared and the suit
was brought to II stand-still. The ofiici-
ating justice was satisfied that the crime
had been committed and fined each of
the parties 800. We wonder if they did
not put John out of the way to keep
themselves out Of the State Prison. 1t
was cowardly proceeding, and should
have met Il heavier punishment. They
had ought to have known better than To
