which elaborate maps showed to lay
lin the most fertile portions Of the San
Joaquin valley, and which those
agents represented to be the best of
farming land, though they well knew
there was not sufficient soil on a quar-
ter section Of it to sprout a black-eyed
pea. People who were confiding
enough to believe what those San
Francisco newspapers were paid to
say and foolish enough to accept map
representation and agent asservation
for fact, parted with their money for
an alkali fat. Not great while ago
we crossed the San joaquin valley
from the San Luis ranch to Visalia by
stage. AT Hawthorn Station couple
of gentlemen, just from the East,
alighted and said they had reached
the end of their journey, as they had
purchased, while in San Francisco, a
half section Of land, lying two miles
Northeast Of the station, on which
they intended to make their homes.
The hostler Of the station-the only
man living within ten miles of the
place-pointed over white plain ex-
tending for miles and said the "farms"
lay out there. We shall never forget
the expression of astonishment which
passed over the faces of those
two men. They saw at q glance
that they had been swindled. We
questioned them and learned that on
map, agent and newspaper representa-
ton they had been induced to pay five
hundred dollars each for quarter sec
tion of land which they read and were
told was as good farming land as could
be found in the State. BY the next
stage those deceived and swindled
gentlemen returned to San Francisco,
from whence they probably returned
to their homes in the East. Thousands
of robberies similar to this have been
perpetrated in San Francisco, and the
journals of that city have lent, or
rather sold, their assistance to carry
them out. What wonder that jour-
nails that have been engaged in and
doubtless are still engaged in such me-
farious schemes should denounce all
land sales without distinction as frauds
and swindles. They forget, however,
that down here no man is asked to buy
land "unsight and unseen" They
overlook the important fact that in
Los Angeles valley the sales take
place on the premises, where purchas-
ers examine before they purchase.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1875-05-01
Dry Seasons.

1t is not the fault of several San
Francisco journals that new comers
into this State are not impressed with
the idea that Southern California, and
particularly Los Angeles valley, is so
drouth infected that little short of
second edition of NoAH's flood will
secure even partial crop. That this
is not true, all here know, and all who
come here will find it out. When
crops fail in Los Angeles valley, there
will be no harvest in other portions of
the State. We have before us a let
ter dated April 4th, written in Colusa
connty-one of the best grain growing
sections in the Sacramento valley-in
which it is stated that everything is
suffering from drouth, and that no
matter how much rain might fall af-
ter that time, not more than half a
crop would be raised. AS no consid-
erable quantity has fallen since that
date, it is presumable that even less
than half crop will be harvested. in
Colusa county. From our exchanges
we learn that on the West side of the
lower San Joaquin valley the crop is
total failure, while In other sections
the yield will be light. In no part of
that broad valley will the farmers
harvest fair crop. This is also true
of the Sacramento valley and other
portions of the State. Now, let us see
how it is in Los Angeles valley. Re-
ports from different parts of the coun-
ty are to the effect that while the crop
is generally light, it is in no sections
failure. Where the soil was well
prepared and seeded early, the grain
looks fine and, without exception,
will yield fair crop. There is no
truth in the statement of our cotem-
poraries that Los Angeles valley is
more subject to, or effected by drouth,
than any other portions of the State.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1875-05-01

IT Is bad for the leaders of the Inde-
pendent party that the rank and file
of that organization are somewhat
outspoken in their determination to
obey no party dictation nor vote for
the nominees of any convention SIM
ply because they are nominees Of that
convention. If the Independent lead
ers cannot quell this insubordination
In the ranks, we fear open rebellion
will follow and the Independent party
be reduced to the small squad of office
seekers who cannot secure nomina-
tions in either the Democratic or Re-
publican Convention.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1875-05-01

The summary action of the Council
in discharging policemen does not
meet the approval of many of our citi-
zens. The police are responsible to
the Council for their acts, but it seems
unjust to discharge man without an
investigation of the charges on which
the complaint is based. The duties Of
a policeman are peculiar and the OBJ
jections to what he does or what he
does not may not afford grounds for
his discharge. Our Council does not
combine all the wisdom of the city, as
is shown by its habit of doing things
at one meeting and undoing them at
the next. This We presume will be
the case so long as talk is substituted
for thought and brains. We respect
fully suggest to our CounciImen that
every man has right to be heard, and
in the case of policemen, charges
against them should be investigated
before they are dismissed from the
force.

way as to give one the right to say 1t
is the dustiest country you ever saw?
Is the water bad?
Mr.. Editor, have the kindness to
pronounce for our benefit the follow
ing words: Los Angeles, Los Nietos,
San Diego, San Bernardino, San JOa-
quin, Yosemite, TETON, Tehacahpe,
Cienega, Ranches and Rancho, just
as you pronounce them in talking to

Minneapolis, Mimi, April l5, '75.
In answer to the inquiries above we
will say, first, that the water is good
and we have plenty Of ice for sale,
Mr.. Merrick to the contrary notwith-
standing. So good is the water, in
deed, that we have nearly four hum
dred Good Tempiars in the city. Some
men leave town and complain of our
pure mountain water, but generally
they didn't take 1t straight, but mixed
it with whisky, which spoiled both
ingredients. The ground is not half
so dry as the throats of these chaps
who complain of the water, which
flows in generous streams on every
street and blesses every household.
Az to the dust, we have our proportions;
but it don't incrust man. unless he
has such dislike of water that he don't
wash. Tne words you note are pro-
nonunced as follows: 1st. In the Span
ish, from which these names were
taken, g has the sound of h aspirate-
Los Angeles, properly Los Anheles,
but commonly called Los Anjeles; I'd,
Los Neatos-the being accented and
short; Sd, San Deago; 4th, San Ber-
nardino; 5th, San Waukeen; 9Th, Yo-
semite-final 9 sounded; 7th, Tahone;
9Th, Tehatch-ape; 9th, Ce-enega RAM
cho. We hope our Eastern friends
will not believe such bosh about water
and dust. Men afraid of water and a
little dust are not invited, but active
men, to make this water and dust
produce oranges, lemons, wheat, corn
and flowers. Such are welcome.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1875-05-01
The Reason OF It.

When We come to think of it, we
are not astonished that the San Fran
cisco papers, or at least those of them
that existed a few years ago, should
look with some degree of suspicion on
land colony schemes and other propo-
sitions for dividing large grants into
small farms. These papers have as
sisted in carrying out some of the
most atrocious land swindles ever per-
petrated upon uniformed immi-
grants. A few years ago land was
sold by agents on Montgomery street,

road building was manifested on the
other side that our company is putting
forth on this, but little time would
elapse before the Southern overland
road would be a reality. Messrs.
CRoCKER and COTTON are devoting
their entire attention to the Southern

obtained, it will be used in extending
the track Eastward. Both of these
gentlemen will be here in day or

The Republicans mean business.
They will nominate Gen. J. F. MILLER
for Governor on the first ballot. Gov.
PACHECO will be the nominee for
Congress, in this, the Fourth, Con-
gressional District, ex-senator PER-
KINs in the Third, and PAGE or PoR-
TER, most likely PAGE, in the Second.
CLAYTON may have it in the San
Francisco District, but if he accepts,
the Democrats will probably nomin-
ate his old opponent, w. A. PIPER,
and in that event, the result will be
different from the last contest. CLAY
TON made no record in Congress and
if he runs again, PIPER will beat him
badly.
