city last Saturday evening, on his way
from New York. He delivered SER
mon in the Presbyterian church Sun
day morning, and one at the Baptist
church in the evening, other denOmi-
tons in the city suspended services,
and the Baptist church was crowded to
OVERLOOKING to hear the great pulpit
orator. Everybody who heard him
was highly pleased, and many were the
regrets that the DIR. could not protract
his visit.

I'VE very much regret being called

Mrs. Ewin Burney, Of Cross Plains,
which occurred one day last week. 1t
was occasioned by placing Arsenic
into pan mixed with meal, the SER

A COTTON FACTORY TO BE START
ED In GAINESVILLE.


We are glad that Mr.. B. o. Keesee
has determined to put in operation a
cotton factory in our city as soon as
the machinery, &C., necessary to run it
can be put up. 1t will be started in
the two brick store houses next to the
National Hotel-the partition wall be-
ing first removed. The town spring is
near enough to supply it with water,
but Mr.. Keesee proposes building two
large cisterns in the rear of the facto-
ry which will be supplied from the
roofs of the factory and adjacent build
ings, which will, it is thought, furnish
water in abundance. Mr.. Keesee has
sent for a machinist to come and ex-
anime his buildings and order
the proper and necessary machinery to
put the factory in operation. He
thinks the building large enough for
twenty looms. This is a praiseworthy
and noble enterprise, and Is the first
move of real practical character to-
wards the establishment of a cotton
factory in GAINESVILLE. It will do more
good and be of more value to our city
than million of dollars in the hands
of citizens who either keep it in bank
to their credit, or invested in United
States bonds or Their interest bearing
securities. The needy poor, who de-
sire to make an honest support for
themselves can here find employment
at goo d wages. while their employer
will be adding to an already well earn
ed fortune which he has accumulated
by dint of energy and honest dealing
in our midst. Too much praise can
not be given Mr.. Keesee for this addi-
tional evidence of his public spirit and
enterprise.
We wish we had more of just such |
men. IF we had this would soon be |
he manufacturing city of Tennessee.

The Los Angeles and Pacific Railway,

The most important project now before the
people OF Los Angeles county is one for the
construction of a railway from the city to some
point on the ocean where a dock can be built
and passenhers and freight landed without
delay that landing at Wilmington necess-
tates. The great advantages that narrow
gauge railway has over broad gauge are so
cogent and numerous that 1t will be unneces-
sary to enumerate them.
The Los Angeles and Pacific Railway Com
pany is incorporated with capital stock of
S500,000 in 900 shares of $500 each. The esti-
mated cost of the road, based upon Engineer
CRAwFoRD's figures, is less than $780,
900, so that only that amount of cash will be
called IN upon the stock. The advantages
claimed by the L. A. e. p. r. r. over any of the
other projected routes having their termini
near Shoe Fly landing are as follows:
In the first place, the Centinela Landing lies
in direct line ofvessels going up or down the
coast, while Shoe Fly landing lies in the bite
near Santa Monica, and vessel to reach this
latter pointhas to sail at least Is miles out of
the direct coast course. Again, the water off
the coast from Point Duma to Shoe Fly is
very shallow, and at the landing wharf ex-
tending 400 feet into the ocean only reaches
depth of 20 feet of water, while at the Gen.
tinela Landing wharf extending 1000 feet
into the ocean reaches a depth of 80 feet of
water. Again, the landing at Centinela is
completely protected from the South, South
east and East gales by the San Pedro Noun
tain and Santa Catalina Island, while Shoe
Fly is not projected from any of these points.
The distance to these two points from Los
Angeles is about the same-l4 miles.
Enough stock has already been subscribed
to warrant the Directors in proceeding at once.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1875-01-01

Mr.. CRAWFORD has been engaged to make the
preliminary survey and estimates; tenders
have been invited for the iron and equipment
and the work will be pushed forward as rap
idly as possible. A rental of S25,000 per an
mum for the wharf alone has been offered and
refused by the company. Good men estimate
that the road will pay over2 per cent. per
month frem the start. twill run through the
lands of the Centinea Colony. The land
Company have offered to give the railway the
right of way and 6lO acres of land at the land
ing. This road will be great boon to Los
Angeles county, and our people should assist
by taking stock according TO their means.
That the road will be success is guaranteed
by the fact that if the gentlemen who form its
Board of Directors build the road out of their
own private means it will increase the value
of the Centinela Rancho, of which they are
extensive owners, more than sufficient to pay
for the railway.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1875-01-01
The Southern Pacific Road.

From the railway lines of the Southern Pa
cific Railroad running into Los Angeles come
favorable reports of the operations during the
year 1874. The statements of the years opera
tions have not yet been completed, but we are
assured that the increase over the previous
years operations will be most satisfactory.
The transportation ofimports has materially
increased, particularly during the Fall and
Winter months. The exports carried over the
road during the year are about equal in ton.
mage to that of the year '73, despite the fact
that home consumption has largely increased,
and large quantities of the produce of this
county have been shipped to Panamint, Cerro
Gordo and other mining camps.
The company has four hundred men on its
payroll, and the monthly expenditures fol
labor foot up to $4,000. The company pays
promptly and is not In debt to any person.
On the Los Angeles and San Pedro Road
twenty-one miles by rail and six miles by
lighters-an increase of ten per cent. on gen
eral business marks the past year. The re.
ceipts of lumber and quartz mill machinery
have especially increased. About two thous-
and passengers per month, arrivals by steam
er, are carried over the road, and half that
number taken to outgoing steamers.
The branch road to Anaheim, twenty
seven miles long, was completed on
the 10Th ult. Sixteen miles were constructed
during the last year. During the year the
passenger travel and freight traffic has been
exceedingly active, and now that connection
is had with the flourshiug settlements in and
about Anaheim, the trade on the branch will
be heavily increased.
The main trunk of the Southern Pacific
Road, from Los Angeles to Spadra and San
Fernando-fifty miles in length to the inch
was put in operation on the 22d of April last.
During 1874 fifteen miles of this road was con-
structed. The Southern Pacific road extends
southwark from San Francisco to Tehatchipe
Station, twenty-four miles south of Bakers
field. Daily passenger trains are run on this
road from San Francisco to Los Angeles-the
gap between Tehatchipe and San Fernando
ninety-eight miles, being staged. This gap by
contract must be closed by November, 1877
but the work will be done much sooner ifthe
credit of the company is maintained.
1t is the intention of the comp any to extend
the road from Spadra to San Bernardino and
then on eastward to tap the Arizona business
and be ready for direct connection with the
Southern Pacific Road, when it strikes Ari
zona from the east-thus making Los Angeles
the great Western Depot of the best trans-con-
tinental line of railway.
During the present year the company intend
to erect q handsome passenger depot and ca
pacious warehouses, in the eastern part of the
city, ON land donated by the city for that pur.
wi hn pypan6p1 in these
improvements Extensive machine shops
and car manufactures will also be erected in
this city before many years have rolled away

Our Railroad Wants.

Los Angeles valley is one of the rich est
spots ON the face of the globe. Her soil is ca
pable of supporting a million people, and in
the near future her farm, garden and orchard
exports Will aggregate an immense bulk and
bring to her laborers a large revenue. To the
east and northeast of this favored spot lies
broad and rich mineral region which will
produce little save the precious metals, but
these in abundance. Naturally the valley
should supply the mountains with food and
raiment. The thousands of miners who for
genera ions to come will delve beneath the
granite piles must depend upon the valley for
the necessaries of life. The millions of tons of
ore which these miners will bring to the sur
face and prepare for shipment to the reduction
works must in the economy of trade reach the
ocean at the nearest point. Los Angeles is
that point. and though we may wrong our
selves and wrong those who come after us by
neglecting our plain duty sofar as not to build
the Los Angeles and Independence Railroad,
yet so great will ultimately become the de-
mand for this road that it will be built We
may build it now If we undertake the WORK it
will build itself after the first fifty miles Of
track is laid. The day we are able to run cars
to CajOn Pass, that day we shall have opened
the channel through which will pass the
freight to and from the mines of myo county,
Northern Arizona and of the many mines
that will hereafter be discovered in our "back
country" Thus much of tie road in opera
ton and the work of track laying will go on
on until some one Of the roads now stretching
Westward are touched and then we shall have
that which will make the Southern Coast
counties the richest part of all California-a
Southern overland railroad. Bnt looking at
the immediate advantages Of the contem-
plated road, we find that 1t will retain the
trade we are now rapidly losing and increase
it many fold beside affording q ready market
for the surplus products of the valley both
now and for years to come. We trust our
moneyed men and citizens of influence will
carefully consider the facts we have pointed
out and d.unite in one.srand effort the accom-
plishment of work which will secure us
benefits greater and more general than we
have enumerated. The people are awakening
to the importance of building this road al d If
the right men will lend 1t their aid its build
ing may be regarded as an accomplished
fact.
