history of Los Angeles county, and in
the end will bring shame, misery and
sadness upon their authors. Lexing-
ton would now be a lovely town were
it not for these facts. But decay and
death mark it for their own, and all
the blight incident to the deserted viii
lage are apparent everywhere. Aswe
said at the commencement of this ar
ticle, we have no desire to constitute
ourselves critics on land titles. The
Circular alluded to started the matter,
and We propose to expose it whenever
1t tries to mislead and deceive. As to
its threats we care nothing for them.
Good men and good titles have moth
ing to fear. Those interested III bo-
gus claims and frauds are those that the
HERALD make tremble.

Untitled Soil.

We occasionally notice in the letters
of correspondents writing from this
part of the State the statement that
all the good land in Los Angeles val
ley is under cultivation and cannot be
purchased. Here; these stories, writ
ten as they always are by persons
who are ignorant of the subjects of
which they write, are understood and
pass for just what they are worth
nothing; but In the East and else
where abroad they are liable to mis-
lead and deceive. The fact is that not
one hundredth part of the rich soil OF
Los Angeles valley has felt the
pl6wshare, and should our population
increase in proportlonate ratio with
the past twelve months for the next
ten years there will still be thousands
of acres of good land uncultivated in
this county. The Chino Ranch, to
which we referred few days since, Is
one broad area of rich untitled soil.
This tract alone Is capable of support
ing half million of people, yet it is
now only wild expanse on which
Craze sheep and cattle. Should there
be among our newcomers those who
are inclined to credit the stories of the
homesick letter-writers, they cannot
disabuse themselves of those false I'M
pressions more rapidly and effectually
than by passing over the railroad be-
tween this city and Anaheim. Be-
tween Downey City and the last
named place the road runs through
thousands and thousands of acres of
excellent soil, which will produce al
most anything that grows out of the
ground, without irrigation. The town
of Anaheim, located thirteen miles
from tide-water, is but about one hum
dred and sixty feet above the level of
the sea, and water is found nearly
everywhere at depth of five feet be-
low the surface of the ground. Such
soil does not require irrigation. If
proof that it does not were wanting it
is found in the fact that this broad
extent is covered for the most part
with heavy crop of weeds-the wild
mustard growing to height of from
ten to fifteen feet. This area OF uncul-
tivated land is easier counted by miles
than acres. What we have said of the
land on the Chino Ranch and between
Downey and Anaheim is true of the
San Pedro Ranch and many other Sec
tions in this valley. Let no one be
humbugged into the belief that there
is not an abundance of rich untitled
soil in Los Angeles county.

Commissioner of Indian Affairs under
date of October II, as follows:
Something must be done soon, for

over these four or five thousand pe0-

this the whole perpleXing question
might now be settled. But scarce an
acre of these valleys is now left to the
Indians, and these same men are now
loudest in cursing the Government
and abusing gents for not settling
this Indian difficulty.

More About Inflated Grants.

The Evening cypress returns once
more to its self. raised question of grant
expansion, and in an article more ver-
bose than convincing undertakes to
vacate the position it assumed on the
Lomas de Santiago issue, after the
manner in which crawfish gets into
his hole. After an emphatic endorse
ment of the action of the Government
in commencing proceedings for nulli-
flying the patent to this rancho or
grant, ON the ground Of fraudulent sur
vey, it now comes out with the asser-
tion that it merely alluded to the case
in tone OF indifference. OF this let
the readers of its first article be the
judge. The HERALD has no DISPOSE
tion to prolong q controversy on a
subject which can only be definitely
settled by the courts. Newspaper as
servation, even when it assumes the
quality of special pleading in support
Of Questionable title or inflated pat
ent, does not fix boundary or settle
claim. Still those of our citizens
who have read its articles cannot
avoid the conclusion that Senator
JONES Real Estate Circular across
the way has sneaked out OF all It's po-
sitions like whipped eur. We had
nothing to do in starting the question
Of titles, although, having abundant
evidence before us OF what was going
on in the courts and Surveyor Gener-
ais office, from prudential motives we
refrained until the Circular raised the
yelp about the Lomas de Santiago.
We simply added for general informa-
tion other cases, that have a more local
interest, in similar tolls. We inciden-
tally included the Puente in the list,
which seems to have hit somebody
home. We have no interest in this
matter beyond that which should an.
innate every good citizen. We say fol
twenty years 1t has been recognized
as a grant containing four leagues ol
land, and for that number of years II
has been so given in to the Assessor
under oath, and that before Mr.. WORK.
MAN ever sold an acre. After the
brilliant idea occurred of including
the grants and homesteads of the
New Mexican settlers who haC
been inthe enjoyment of their homes
for forty years, and when WoRKNAN
magnified the grant into clever
leagues, 1t was high time that one o
the owners at least should augmen
his assessment list. The inhumanity
that laughs at the misfortunes of thos,
quiet, industrious communities thu
left homeless, is well befitting th,
Dougal Dalgaty of q venal sheet. TIL,
persecution of our citizens who, at th,
advice of all or nearly all of our olt
residents, settled in the Monte in 1852
is q warning to us all, and the pail O
death that has hung over the settle
ment from that day to this is SAT
commentary on fraudulent survey
and locations. The murders and as
sassinations of settlers and the force,
victims from land that belonged to th
Government are sad incidents in tn

A Terrible Disaster.

The news Of the loss of the Steam
ship Pacific with some two hundred
passengers shocked this community
yesterday morning. Though we have
but fhe story of one man who believes
himself the only surviving passenger,
the meager account is sufficiently ap-'
palling. It's quite probable that 9TH
ers of those on board the i'll fated yes-
sci have survived the wreck and will
soon be heard from. The remarka BILE
part of the account Is the apparent
lightness of the shock and the short
time that INTERVIEWED between the
striking and the sinking of the vessel.
The shockis described as being no
heavier than that produced by an or
dinary wave yet the damage must
have been very great or the steamer
would have floated longer. The sup
position that the jar was caused by a
collision with another vessel Is most
probably incorrect, The survivor says
he heard some one say they had colid4
ed with another vessel and saw what
he thought were three uncolored
lights on a ship moving from the
steamer. But the remark may hav
been made on mere conjecture and the
lights seen were perhaps the. refec.
tions on, the water of those on the Pa
riflc. This conclusion is strengthen.
ed by the fact that they were not col.
bred lights. 1t is almost certain that
the Pacific struck a sunken rock which
knocked q hole in her bottom and that
she almost Immediately filled and went
down. The light shock and the i'm
mense danger Is suggestive that The
hull of the Pacific was not so strong
as her owners had reason to believe
1t is but short time-less than two
years we believe-since the Pacific
Mail Steamship Company overhaulet
and in part rebuilt the Pacific ant

most as good as new. She must, If
the statement Of her surviving pas
senger is correct, have been very weak
in vital part. 1t may be that the
part of her hull which came in con-
tact with the rock was quite rotten.
Ifso her owners were ignorant of the
fact. The Pacific was built in New
York in 1851 and was cons equently
twenty-four years old.
