SAN FRANCISCO, July 2d.-It was ten
minutes to IL when the Convention

lowing gentlemen were placed in NOM

Woolf was declared the nominee Of
the Convention and the nomination
was made unanimous.
A motion to pay the Sergeants-at-
| Arms S5 extra for each night of the
session, gave rise to a long discussion
on the financial question, after which
the Convention proceeded to nominate

gerald was nominated by acclamation.
| He addressed the Convention briefly
in humorous strain, and also said, If

LETTER FROM SANTA ANA.

EDITOR HERALD: Since writing
our last, various and sundry changes
have taken place here. Mr.. Spurgeon
has moved into his new store and dis
plays to the public at large and his nu-
merous customers in particular, the
finest assortment of general merchan-
disc ever seen In Santa Ana. Gran.
says he gets powerful weak" waiting
on customers. Mr.. Conrad's house Is
nearly ready for occupancy. Doctors
Cummings aud Antribns each have
erected ali office. Mr.. Wilkins Is
building an addition to his house.
There are several persons who cOntem-
plate building soon, one of the num-
Der being Mr.. Conrad, from Anaheim,
who, we have been informed, contem-
plates building fine two-story house,
to be used as lodging house in con-
nection with Mr.. Gursen's restaurant.
Such house will do well, as so many
strangers are coming here who find no
place to stop. Mr.. Faulkner's house is
constantly full. We have been greatly
astonished that some enterprising man
who is loaning money at one and one
half per cent. per month does not pur-
chase Mr.. Palmer's house and open it
as hotel. The building is we'll
adapted for that purpose and can be
purchased for much less than it cost to
build it. Twenty-seven hundred dol
lars will buy the house with three lots,
each fifty feet by one hundred and
twenty-five. This is much less than
the house can be built for. Mr.. p.
owns quite an amount of land adjOin-
ing town and expects soon to build
thereOn-consequently the great bar
gain.
CROPS ARE LOOKING FINELY
Throughout the valley. We have been
informed by reliable persons that the
corn crop will exceed any previous
year. We took drive through the
"Swamp" yesterday, and were great
ly surprised to see the number of acres
in corn. A few days since Mr.. Cobler,
from your city, was here and took a
drive through the "Swamp," and on
his return he expressed his surprise
that such country could be found so
close to Los Angeles. Mr.. Editor, if
you will send "Observer'' down here
we think we can make convert out
of him, and to such an extent that he
will bring all his friends and relatives
here-unless it be his wife. 1t has
been question admitting Of a doubt
as to our ability to raise wheat here,
but the present season has settled that
beyond cavil. Our wheat crop is splen-
die, and we have heard good practical
farmers say that as fine wheat could
be produced here as atany point in the
State. Ii our friends from the grass
hopper-chinch-bug-army-worm coun-
try could see our prosperity, we don't
think they would want to Ego home
to die"
We propose laying claim to the flu
ture great
"CITY BY THE SEA-"
And that city will extend from here to
Newport Bay. We have no U. s. Sem
ators, but we have any amount of good
sturdy citizens, Who In due time will
build railroad from here to the bay,
where as fine landing as is to be
found upon this coast can be made.

Squirrels.

We understand the County Grange
yesterday was discussing the squirrel
question. The following editorial on
that subject is from the San Francis
co Post: The squirrel nuisance is one
of the worst pests of California farm
ers, and various means have been
tried for their determination. The
latest plan, and one which seems feas.
ible, is proposed by Judge Lindley, of
Los Angeles. He has prepared the
draft OF a bill to be presented to the
consideration of the Patrons of Hus-
bandry. The bill makes each school
district q squirrel district, and pro-
vides for the appointment of q squirrel
master. A tax to defray the expenses
contemplated in the bill Is authorized
to be levied in each squirrel district,
and all able bodied men are required
to turn out six days in the year for
the purpose Of making systematic war
upon the rodents. The assembly DAYS
are appointed for the last Saturdays In
October, November, December, Jsnu-
ary, February and March. A fine of
S. Is imposed on those who fail to
turn out when summoned by the
squirrel master. Judge Lindley SUBJ
mits this bill to the Grangers as a
starter for intelligent legislation on
this important subject, and asks them
to use their organized influence in Sc
curing relief from those pests.
