harbor, and 1t was still more serious
mistake to SANDER Los Angeles with
a view of enhancing the chances for
selling lots In Jonesville. A thing
ought to stand on its own merit, and
when it will not, detraction of its bet
ters will not serve as q crutch for the
sick man. 1t Is not the custom of men
to build up a great commercial city
within fifteen miles of one that is al
ready built. Santa Monica can never
become city. That she should is as
improbable as that Catalina Island
should be selected as the site of the
nations capital. A pretty little wa
tering place town will in time grow up
at Santa Monica, and this is all Sena-
tor JONES and those associated with
him should have claimed for their
bantling. Had they done this, and
not attempted to force the sale under
the assumption that they were selling
city property, they would have made
money and friends in the place of los
ing both. Land in Santa Monica
should have been sold in p!ats of from
one to five acres, to suit the will and
purse of purchasers who wished to buy
land on which to build not a city busi
ness house but seaside cottage home.
Had they pursued this plan they would
have ultimately realized prices for
their land that they cannot now hope
to receive, and In few years the
beach for miles would have been dot
ted with Summer homes, and Santa
Monica would indeed be the Long
Branch of the Pacific. But in trying
for the city they have hurt the town.
Lots have sold for more money than
they will ever sell for again, and the
purchasers have paid for small lot
more than a whole acre is worth or
will sell for few months hence. We
are sorry this mistake has been made,
and we hope the purchasers are men
who can afford to lose their money.

An Empty ynil.


ST. LOUIS, July ia special to the
Republican from Witchita, Kansas,
says that the Jail at that place, in
which We're ten Of the most notorious
horse theive in Southern Kansas, was
broken open by the prisoners last
night. All escaped. Wallace Ben
nett, the last of the gang, was brought
from the Cheyenne agency by U. S.
Marshal Lefebra three weeks ago and
is among them. They are all armed
having been assisted by friends after
their escape. The officers are in pur-
suit. 1t is believed that terrible
fight will occur when they overtake
them, which will be within twenty
four hours. Most of them are thieves
and cut-throats of the worst character.
They will make a desperate resistance
to recaptnre.

A Light Sale.

The sale of lots in the "Comlng City
OF Jonesville" has not come up to our
expectations. There has been a deal
of money spent in subsidiz ing news
papers to blow up the scheme to the
highest possible point, without danger
of explosion and collapse. Editors
and scribblers were employed to write
1orid accounts of the new Arcadia,
and finally steamers were chartered to
convey all who wished to purchase
lots to the locality free of charge; yet,
after all this labor and expense, the
first days sale only reached the sum
of twenty-five thousand dollars. We
do not know that many of the lots
sold on Thursday were bid Off by straw
men who will ne yer pay a cent, but q
glance at the list of names impresses
us with the notion that of the sum to-
tai not more than two-thirds, perhaps
not more than one-half, will ever be
paid. This is bad showing, and we
are afraid the net receipts will not
meet the single item of expense for
advertising the scheme. The refusal
of the company to give purchasers but
bargain and sale deed to their lots,
has added strength to tine belief that
the future may develop other claim
ants to the land, whose claims it may
be both difficult and expensive to set
aside. The deed which Mr.. FITCH
proposes to give purchases is but
simple quit-claim deed, and leaves the
new owner to fight any contest that
may come up. The title to this prop
erty is either good or it is not. fit is
good, or the company think it so, peo-
pie naturally wonder why they do not
warrant and defend. In reference to
this title question, the HERALD has
merely placed before the people such
information as it received, without
vouching for its correctness. But in
refusing TO warrant and defend, the
company have done more to shake the
confidence of the public in the valid
ity of their title to the property than
all that has been or could be said by
other parties.

immigration Bureau.

CAREFULLY kept st atistics show
that the average increase in the popu-
lation of California by immigration
alone is one hundred and fifty per day.
This gives us an increase In the number
of our residents of something over 5O,-
900 per annum. These people are
scattering over the agricultural Sec
tions of the State and as they have no
specific knowledge of tho advantages
or disadvantages Of our farming To-
calities and their knowledge on these
points is confined to what they have
heard and read prior to their depart
ure from their old homes, they are of
course guided almost solely by that
information. 1t is for the purpose Of
furnishing the immigrant with more
reliable information that bureaus have
been formed in San Francisco, Sacra-
mento and other portions of the State.
These bureaus are sending out docu-
ments filed with statistical aud other
information relative to the sections
they represent, and of course this in
formation attracts immigration to the
locality desert bed. Los Angeles val
ley has been well writtenup. Her To-
cal papers have described her advan-
tages of soil, climate, &c. Yet much
more can and should be done in this
direction, and the best and most
efficient method for attaining this end,
is the establishment of an immigra-
ton bureau i'm our midst. There is an
abundant means at hand which could
be appropriated for the purpose. There
are dozens of men in this city and
county who have signified their will
lingness to contribute literally, and
the only difficulty seems to be the or
ganization of the bureau. This may
be easily overcome. The selection
and appointment of a competent gen.
tleman to so dispense the funds, as in
his judgement will do most toward
the purpose in view, is the main OBJ
ject to be attained. This appointment
is the province of the gen tlemen who
fur nish the sinews of war; Let them
meet, put down their subscriptions
and sci ect their agent and the work is
done. We need an immigration bu-
reau and we may have it in half an
hour if half u dozen of our leading cit
izens will meet together and desig.
nate an agent.

est little city l ever saw, and in trav-
cling through the county find thrift
and happiness every where. ] have
friends and old neighbors in almost
every precinct in the county and all
are doing well and are happy and con-
tented. Myself and family have all
bern sick since coming here (which
has been but two months) but do
not attribute any part of our sickness
to the climate or location. I intend
when l shalt have regained my
stretgth sufficient, to write up this
county in leading news papers in New
York, Boston, Philadelphia and Chi
cago, to which have been SUBJ
scriber for many years, as well as
several leading papers in Washington
Territory and Oregon with whose edi-
tors l am intimately acquainted. /
should have spoken through your pa
per sooner but desire to see more of
the county, as well as sickness has
prevented. Permit me to say that not
one of the beauties and advantages of
the county had ever been conveyed
to me. Yours, JOSEPH Casio.

THE Express intimates that the

THE following paragraph, clipped
from an editorial in the HERALD by a
local cotemporary which purposely
distorted our meaning, has been going
the rounds:
The selection of congressional candidate
for this district by the Democratic Conveu-
ton Is decidedly unpopular in this portion of
the State, and will, no doubt to certain ex-
tent, affect the vote ON the whole ticket.
The article went on to say that the
nomination was unpopular because
the candidate was unknown here, and
that he could remove the prejudice
against him by visiting our people and
studying the wants of this portion of
his district. He has since been here,
and will return in short time and
address the people of Los Angeles, San
Bernardino and San Diego counties.
We have no fears for Mr.. WIGGING-
TONS success. He will poll more votes
in the District than both HoUGHToN
and THOMPSON.
