take the base tlnsel for the precious
metal. II only the speculators-those
who are never willing to enhance the
value of their investments by improv-
ing their own poss essions or aiding in
system of general improvements,
but are ever on the alert to take ad-
vantage of the labor of others and turn
1t to their own advancement-if these
alone would be the sufferers, we could
quietly look on and enjoy the sport;
but there Is another class, to whom
we would speak word of warning.
There are some who will go into the
speculation with the determination of
enhancing the value of their property
by improving and building up the
surrounding country, and it is these
we would save. Santa Monica can
never, by any possibility, become any
thing more than a mere sea port to
Los Angeles, and perhaps Summer
resort for pleasure-seekers. The char
acter Of the country, its exposure to
the cold winds from the ocean, pre-
cludes its ever being adaptable to the
culture Of semi-tropical fruits or any,
thing else, unless 1t be the hardest of
plants. There IS no money in this as
a speculation, but II you wish lot
upon which to erect cottage where
you can pass pleasantly month or
two of the hottest weather, by all
means secure 1t, when the title is set
tied; but IL you invest with view of
making paying speculation, you are
surely doomed to disappointment and
will, doubtless, call to mind our warn
ing when, having bitten, you are
firmly hooked and discover the dainty
morsel to have been only skillfully
devised artificial bait.

The Site Of lonesville.

In its zeal to advance the interests
Of Its employers, the Express iterates
and reiterates that there Is nothing Of
q disturbing nature connected with
the title to the land on which 1t is
proposed to locate the village of Jones'
Vile, called, for euphony's sake, Santa
Monica. 1t is not the purpose Of the
HERALD to injure or misrepresent ell
ther person or property, and in answer
to the positive assertion Of Mr.. JONES'
little organ that these titles are clear,
we aver that the fact of the ownership
Of the Santa Monica ranch being in
dispute, ha, for months been known
to the members Of the legal fraternity
Of this city. But 1t is claimed that
the site Of Jonesville is on the San Vi
cente ranch. As no one knows the
metes and bounds Of the San Vicente
ranch, this assertion cannot be sub
stantiated. This ranch really consists
Of but one and o half leagues, and its
boundaries were once defined; but, in
order to spread the grant over four
leagues, the first located metes and
bounds were DESTROYED, and 1t is sur
missed that some difficulty will be en-
countered In attempts to relocate
them. These are facts relative to the
two ranches, as will be testified to by
our leading lawyers, or anyone who
will inform themselves in the prem
ises. We should be glad to know that
these titles and boundaries were free
from defect or dispute, but as they are
not, we deem it our duty as an honest
journalist to place the correct infor-
nation before the people. Fit can be
determined that the site of Jonesville
is on an odd section, clear title may
be obtained from the Southern Pacific
Railroad Company, who are probably
the real owners of the land.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1875-07-10
Another Ordinance Passed.

SOME weeks since in defiance of the
wishes Of the residents of that portion
Of the city, and to the injury of many
living on the eastern side of town, the
Common Council passed an ordinance
giving the Spring Street Railroad
Company the right to extend their
track across the Western Pacific road,
and along San Fernando street to a
point nearly opposi te the new depot.
It was shown at the time that the
space then unoccupied by tracks was
hardly sufficient for the accommoda-
tion of travel, and that the extension
of the street railroad would almost
close the street as public through
fare. But facts and remonstrances
have no effect on our Common Coun-
Gil. The injury contemplated was,
however, prevented by the wisdom of
Mayor BEAUDRY, who promptly
vetoed the ordinance, and an attempt
to pass 1t over his head was not sue
cessful. But if the Council is remark
able for anything, it is Government
mule stubborness, and at their meet
ing on Thursday evening, the deter
mined ring passed another ordinance
giving the street railroad company the
privileges asked for in the vetoed
doc ument. 1t is claimed that the re-
quisite eight votes have been secured,
and that the ordinance will be passed
over the Mayors veto. IF this is so,
the people of the eastern part of town,
the Indiana Colony, and many others
will be compelled to seek some other
avenue through which to pass in and
out Of the city, unless an injunction is
obtained and the street or so much of
1t as yet remains to the people is Sc
cured by decision of the courts. This
subserviency Of the Council to the
Spring Street Railroad Company is as
remarkable and unexplainable as the
hostility Of that body to the San Pedro
Street Ra ilroad Corporation. The
Company will gain but little by the
extension; they will be compelled to
cross steam railroad track, which
will be occupied the greater portion of
time by trains Of cars, compelling
them four trips out of five to land and
receive their passengers where their
track now terminates. Meantime their
track will render the now narrow
space almost impossible for teams.

That Beecher Trouble.

NEW YORK, July Sth.-The Tribune
this morning was premature in its
statement that Loeder and Price had
been indicted. Elijah r. Tilton this
morning made a deposition in denial
of the affidavits of Price and Leoder.
He was before the Grand Jury yester-
day, and the testimony of these wit
nesses will, it is presumed, prove suffi-
cient to warrant the finding of indict-
ments for perjury against Loeder and
Price.
New YORK, July Sth. Frank Moul-
ton has written long letter to Dis
trict Attorney Britton, complaining
that the libel suit instituted against
him by Beecher has not yet been
brought to trial, and asking that it be
taken up at once.

An Artificial Bait.

As the greedy trout, in Its haste to
devour the tempting morsel which
Skins along the surface of the water
within its range Of vision, fails to dis
cover until too late the fatal hook con-
cealed beneath the tuft Of feathers ar
ranged in the form Of its favorite fly I;
IS the fnny denizens Of the deep pur-
sue and strike the deceptive spoon,
under the impression that 1t is their
natural prey, so 1t is also with the hui
man species in their reckless chase
after sudden wealth. Prone to forget
that "all is not gold that glitters,"
and unheeding the scriptural lnjunc-
tion to "make not haste to grow rich" I"
they strike wildly at every cleaning
morsel thrown in their way and only
when securely hooked discover the
artificial nature Of the bait. The va
riety Of flies employed to obtain a rise
from the hungry searcher after easily
secured millions, is as extensive as
those contained In q we'll assorted
trout book. Here we have the stock
fly, SO enticing in bright sunshlny
weather, and which destroys such
numbers annually. But there Is an
other which--on account Of It's neutral
tints and the quiet, decorous manner
In which 1t floats into public notice
IL far more destructive, being equally
as effective In cloudy as fair weather,
and which is known as the land,job
fly. One of these has recently been
cast on the troubled waters of specu-
latIon, and already we see schools of
eager fish swarming about it, eager to
bite, without stopping to discover the
hook which will inevitably hold them
fast and eventually land them high
and dry. 1t Is time we awoke to the
fact that the days when nuggets of the
"yellow god" were found lying about
loose on the surface Of the ground and
vast fortunes were acquired in brief
space of time, have departed; but this is
q lesson difficult to master, because
an unwilling one. Hundreds who
would turn away with horror at the
mere suggestion Of stock speculation
will embrace with open arms the most
visionary scheme, provided, only, it
has the pretense Of real estate as O
foundation. The promoters of this
Santa Monica enterprise are skillful
anglers, and before casting their line
have taken the precaution to. thor
oughly bait the waters Of public opin-
ion with alluring fragments, scattered
broadcast by paid and mercenary
press. The gleam of the snowy bait
has awakened the unnatural appetite
Tor the hasty acquisition of wealth,
and In their eagerness to attain the
acme Of their hopes, many will mis-
