Los Angeles daily herald., 1875-09-11

A special meeting of Pentalpha
Lodge No. 202, f. and A. NJ, in the
first degree, will be held this evening.
Among the shipments yesterday
were bales of wool to San Francisco
from Hellman, Haas & Co.: 80 pipes
of wine from Kohler & Frohling; 155
dry hides and four bales of pelts from
Gossen g. Pico; and large amount of
way freight.
The turf in California is attracting
more attention every season and we
doubt not that our citizens will be
able to boast as fine racers and trot-
ters as any in the world. Our tele-
grams state that Baldwin and STAN
ford are now the possessors of some
famed steeds.
The steamer Los Angeles arrived at
Santa Monica last evening, and her
passengers came up by stage. Judg-
ing by the rush for rooms at the ho-
tells she must have had good list.
She was detained six days on the
route by breaking of her machinery.
The damage has been repaired, how
ever, and she sails for San Francisco
this morning.
Every week brings to light some
new manufacturing industry In Los
Angeles. Not the least important of
late is the jewelry establishment of
Messrs. w. G. Bogert & Co., recently
opened at 131 Main street. This enter
prisipg firm manufacture most of their
goods, and the work they have turned
out would do credit to Partisan ar
tist. Sleeve buttons, studs and ear
rings made by them from the native
aulne shells are really exquisite. Such
workmen as these have a right to ex-
pect the support of their fellow towns
men.
We have always regarded the man
who dispenses superior article of ci-
gars and tobacco as comforter of hui
manity and a blessing to his fellow
man. I. Goldsmith is one of these
solacers. He has always supplied his
customers with the finest quality of
the soothing weed and he now propos-
es to enlarge the sphere of his useful
ness by establishing still another de-
pot for the sale of the narcotic. This
evening he will be found at the Orient
saloon cigar stand in Downey Block,
where he invites all who delight to
burn the fragrant Havana to call on
him.
We don't suppose the Express in
tended to misrepresent when it sneer-
ingly remarked that our old friend,
John G. Morgan, mine host of the
Santa Monica hotel, had been pre-
sented with a "silver fish knife' by
his Democratic friends as testimoni-
al of their appreciation of his valuable
services on behalf of the party in San
ia Monica precinct, still it was mis-
representation. A few of Mr.. Nor
gan's friends in this city presented
him with beautiful silver cake set
as slight indication of the regard
they feel for man who could carry a
precinct for the Democracy, despite
the fact that large number of the
votes were furnished with Republican
tickets and directed to go to the polls
and vote them.
Bee culture is spreading rapidly in
adjoining coanties, and if Los Angeles
does not push onward she will cease to
be the banner honey county. In 1874
no less than eight thousand bee-hives
were manufactured by single estab-
lishment. Santa Barbara and San
Bernardino are increasing the number
of their colonies rapidly. The aver
age yield is said to be one hundred lbs.
and the increase one hundred and fifty
per cent. At 25 cents per pound the
income is $25 per hive, and besides $S
to Sis worth of bees. Good stands
are now selling in San Bernardino for
SIS to SIP each and they are worth
about the same here. At the present
rate of increase it is estimated that
there will be in four years one million
stands of bees in these three counties,
which will produce annually 100000
900 pounds of honey worth $40, 900,
which is more than the value of the
sugar and molasses crops of Louisiana,
Texas and Florida combined.
