The San Francisco Post is incensed

The San Francisco Post is incensed
over the circumstance that the Gen.
tinela lands were not sold to the "poor
immigrant" The s'poor immigrant"
or any other poor man wanting land
might have done well in purchasing
at this or other land sales in this val
ley, but he was not present at the auc-
tion, and the Post is deprived of its
argument that the Los Angeles Gland
sharks" deceived and swindled the
new corners. The truth is that only q
small proportion of the land sold at
auction in this valley during the past
six months was bid off by new corners.
The greater portion of the land dis
posed of has until lately been held by
parties who refused to sell in small
lots, and it was only through schemes
like Centinela and Artesia that the
tracts could be broken up. When,
however, the land was thrown on the
market, it was for the most part pur-
chased by residents who knew It's
value. Thanks to the Post and other
San Francisco papers, the "poor inn
migrant" is cautious, and frequently
loses a good opportunity through the
excess of his caution. In truth, we
do not know Of an instance where the
purchaser Of land in this valley could
not sell it out for more than it cost.

Centennial State Board OF Managers for Call.

The Commissioner and Alternate
MIA to the Centennial Exhibition have
selected the following-named gentle
men who, together with the said Com
missioners, will form State Board of
Managers for the State of California,
to-wit: Jacob Deeth, B. B. Redding,
A. N. Towne, John F. Stone and T. J.
L. Smiley, of San Francisco; Drury
Melone, Secretary of State, for Sacra-
mento; Major r. Snyder, Sonoma; ex-

James l.. Ord, Santa Barbara; Walter
Murray, San Luis Obispo; Jocob H.
Neff, Placer county; Joseph Adams,
Santa Clara county; J. l.. Hebron,
Salinas City; Bradley V. Sargent,
Monterey.
This committee will have to care for
the interests of the citizens of this
State in matters relating to the Exhi-
bitiOn; to disseminate information
about it; to receive and pronounce on
applications; to secure worthy and
creditable exhibits, and insure the for
warding of such exhibits; to provide
funds to aid exhibitors at the Exhibit
tioHj ny paying cApense Vi CTaHSpOf-

other necessary expense, to enable our
citizens who desire to make exhibits
of their own manufacture and pro-
duets of the soil and mine; and to su-
pervise such other details as the

One of the finest Improvements In
the city will be the rebuilding of the
Lafayette Hotel. The whole Of the
back of the house is already being
torn down, and the front will shortly
be built up. The stores will be just
half as large as they are now, and, as
the Important has very large stock
on hand, they will not have half room
enough for their goods and in order to
prevent them from being damaged by
dirt and dust, they have decided to
sell all their Spring goods at less than
cost, and others. such as cOttOns, table
linen, ETC., at exact cost. We advise
all to call at the Important and con-
vince themselves Of the great bar
gains. Such bargains they can never

great rush, we advise all to call early
and take advantage of the building of

A Liberal Proposition.

In the Weekly HERALD is an adver-
tisement signed by NORMAN c. JONES,
the careful reading of which we rec
ommend to every new arrival in this
valley. Of the many schemes and
plans on which land is offered to the
home-seeker we are inclined to regard
that of Mr.. JONES as the fairest and
most liberal. In the first place the
land and water privilege is precisely
as represented, and the owner proves
his honesty of purpose by preferring
that those who design purchasing
should live on the premises until they
have raised one crop, and thus satis-
fed themselves of the fertility of the
soil and the abundance of water.
These lands are located in the San
Gabriel valley, at the debouchment of
the San Gabriel river from the noun
tains, and in them is invested the per-
petual ownership of one-half the wa
ter of the river. Mr.. JONES has al
ready thrown sufficient quantity of
the water for present use over the
tract, and the amount yet remaining
in the natural channel is more than

Murder iIs Nevada.

AUSTIN, May lOth.-There Is great
excitement in town to-day over the
tragedy ena ,ted this morning at the
Silver Cage rancho, about ten miles
from here, in which an Italian named
Luigi Bordearce murdered John Beale,
the foreman of the rancho, and James
McCreery, a teamster. The news was
brought to town by Naponi Guizippi,
partner of BOrdearce, the two having
been leesees of the rancho from G. f.
Dsimore, the owner. The Sheriff,
Coroner and others went to the ranch
aud found the bodies of Beale and
McCreery, both with their heads
crushed. Bordearce was no where to
be found. Beale came here from
Cerro Gordo, where he has mining in.
terests. Guizippi reports that all three
were drunk and quarreling during the
night and drove him from the house.
When he returned in the morning he
found matters as above stated. Some
suspicion arises from the fact that
Beale was a very steady man, who
never was in the habit of drinking,
and Bordearce is very small, short
man, unable to cope with Beale or
McCreery, and in consequence Gui-
zippi has been locked up in Jail to
await further developments.

sufficient to thoroughly irrigate every
acre of the entire tract. The soil of
this land is capable of producing any
and everything that will grow in the
temperate or semi-tropical climate.
1t is never affected by frost, and at no
time within the past twenty years
have the young plants been injured by
cold or frosty weather. But these are
facts which will demonstrate them
selves to all who accept the offer of
Mr.. JONES and make the trial by rais-
ing one crop. We shsll have occasion
to refer to the very liberal offer of Mr..
JONES in the future, and in the mean
time refer all seekers after informa-
ton to the advertisement in the
Weekly HERALD.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1875-05-12

A SAN FRANCISCO paper attempts to
palliate the recently discovered frauds
in the Office of that city's Assessor by
asserting that it has no doubt similar
cases, only in lesser degree, might be
found in almost every county. This
may or may not be true, but should it
be only partially true it proves the
correctness of the assertion recently
made in the HERALD that the greater
portion of the States revenue is paid
by those whose wealth is not large,
while the substance of the rich is
passed lightly by and appears on the
Assessors books as possessing mere
nominal value. Nothing is clearer
than that fair assessment of all the
property in the State would necessi-
tate heavy reduction in the rate of
taxation.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1875-05-12

Now that the Investigation into the
causes which led to the loss of the
steamer Ventura has closed, we pre-
sumo there is no further occasion for
the Withholding Of individual or jour-
nalistic opinion as to the circum-
stances which eliminated in that un-
fortunate event. The Nautical Board
Investigated the case, and part of its
decision is the revocation of the license
of Captain FAKE. The Board also
decide that the loss Of the vessel was
the result of negligence or carelessness
on the part Of the Captain, and GEN.
sure his act in running at so high a
rate of speed during the prevalence of
a dense fog, well knowing that he was
90 near the coast. This conclusion is
such as the statements of the passen-
gers foreshadowed, and bears out the
views expressed in the HERALD soon
after the occurrence Of the accident.
