orial on the subject it denounces in
strong terms a contract for so long q
time, which is very disadvantageous
to Montreal, compared with the terms
on which other cities are supplied
with light. 1t says:
The subject is exciting considerable
attention in London. In recent
number of the Telegraph we find an
article devoted to it, in which the
people of Montreal will be astonished
to learn that gas supplied at one-half
what is charged for it in this city is
denounced as an imposition. AS we
learn from the Telegraph the two
companies which between them sup
ply some two-thirds of London were
allowed to raise their prices on account
of the high price of coal, and the
Chartered Company charged up to the
31st of December five shillings a
thousand for common gas and six and
three pence for Camel gas,
while the Imperial, which makes
only one kind of gas, and that
inferior by one-seventh of its illumi-
mating power to the common gas OF
the Chartered Company, charges four
and eightpence q thousand. The
Phoenix Company, which stands next
to the Imperial in the magnitude of
its operations, charges its consumers
four and fourpence a thousand, while
the London and Surrey Consumers
charge four and sixpence. OF the
smaller companies, the Commercial
supplies gas at four shillings thous-
and, the Ratcliff's price is three and
ninepence, and that of the Independ-
ent is three and fourpence. The only
large London district where the con-
sumers, according to the same author
ity, have no reason to complain is
that supplied by the South Metropoli-
itan Company, which, during the
whole period of dearness, has supplied
gas at three shillings thousand feet,
sixpence less than it has statuary
power to charge. Such figures as
these may well astonish us, especially
when it is remembered that coal is
just about as dear in London as it is
in Montreal.

Sale Of the "Union. y

The sale of the Sacramento Union is
announced. The Bee, of Sacramento,
and the San Francisco papers state
that the paper has been purchased by
agents of the Central Pacific Railroad
Company and that it will be CONSOLE
dated with the Record, the paper now
owned by the company. OF the
truth of this statement we have no
confirmation. tits mere rumor. Still
we are inclined TO believe it well
founded. The Railroad Company have
doubtless long desired the demise of
the Union. 1t has been the uncom-
promising opponent of subsidy and
has cost the Central Pacific millions
of dollars in the way of depreciating
their bonds in New YORK and the Eu-
ropean market. 1t is said that the
Central Pacific owners were deter
mined to crush the Union If it cost a
million dollars. If the rumor is cor
rect the crushing is accomplished and
the work is done. If the Union is
dead the masses have lost an earnest
friend.

Let US Secure the Road,

The people of Santa Barbara are
earnestly considering a proposition
which to very great extent interests
the residents of Los Angeles valley.
They-the enterprising people of Santa
Barbara-fully realize the Importance
of drawing the trade of the interior to
their wharf. AS primary step to-
ward the accomplishment of this pur-
pose, they are devising ways and
means for the construction of rail-
road-a narrow gauge is their present
ideal-from Santa Barbara up the
Santa Clara valley and through the
Soledad Pass, to a junction with the
road they are assured the Southern
Pacific intend building to Panamint.
This is the means by which the people
of Santa Barbara propose to make
their city the point at which the trade
of the interior mines shall touch the
water. 1t will be long road, and
there are any number of doubters
ready to sneer at the idea and predict
that the road will never be built. We
are not so confident of failure. Santa
Barbara has many energetic people,
who, when the interests of their town
are concerned, work as a unit, and we
have lived long enough to know that
pluck and determination will accom-
plish wonders. A road must be built
from the rich mines Of Inyo county to
the seaboard. The shortest and most
natural route for this road is from Los
Angeles through the Cajon Pass; but
railroads do not build themselves.
They are the product of energy and
money. If we do not build the Los
Angeles and Independence road, that
from Sunta Barbara will become q
fixed fact, as certainly as Santa Bar
bara has more energetic and far-seeing
people than Los Angeles. If the
moneyed men and real estate owners
of Los Angeles valley build the
road they now have so fairly under
way the necessity for the
road to Santa Barbara will be removed
and capital will not go into that enter
prise. We make this plain statement
of self-evident facts for the considera-
tiOn of those of our people who through
over-confidence in the success of the
Los Angeles and Independence Road
are not aiding the enterprise as they
should by subscribing to its stock.
Senator JONES and the monied men
of San Francisco who are associated
with him in this great work, have a
right to expect the cooperation and
assistance of those who will be so
greatly benefited by the road-the
people, the whole people, of Los An
geles valley-and if they find they
will not receive that assistance from
us it is but natural that they should
seek it among those not so blind to
their own interest. This road will be
everything to us, and we must use
every means in our power to secure its
construction,

CITY AND COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER.
Artesia Lands.

Yesterday an excursion train carry
ing large number of ladies and gen.
tlemen went down to Artesia, and
after going over the greater portion OF
the land to be disposed of at the sale
which commences on Tuesday next,
returned to the city. Many of the ex-
cursionists are contemplated pur-
chasers, and all are highly pleased
with the quality and location of the
land. The five and ten acre lots ad-
joining the town site are the admira-
tion of all and will sell as rapidly as
they are put UP. The artesian well
sunk by the company struck flowing
water at depth of lis feet but they
are going deeper to secure stronger
flow, and by the day Of sale 1T is ex-
pected a beautiful stream will be
flowing from the well. This well is
ON the public park and is for the free
use of the town. Similar wells may
be bored on every farm into which the
large tract is cut up.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1875-02-21

are not apprised of it. Looking at
the history of these companies, we
are surprised that there were any who
favored their receiving more subsidies
from the Government. No doubt Col.
Scott could have united with them and
got his bill through Congress; but
rather than sell his country and him
self to such a corporation, he picked
up his hat and went home. 1t was
the noblest act of his life, and every
man should commend him for it.
However much others might desire it,
Los Angeles should be the last to
increase, to place more power in, the
hands of that monopoly. The grass
would now have been growing in the
streets of your beautiful city, but for
the untiring efforts of a few of your
citizens and the payment of 100000
by the city and county of Los Angeles
to this monopoly, two years ago. Not
withstanding your liberality in feeling
them to bring their road through your
city, the ink is hardly dry on the re-
ceipt they give you for this bonus, be-
fore they are beseeching Congress to
free them from their obligations te
you and permit them to destroy all
hopes of your
FUTURE PROSPERITY.
The very day and hour some of your
kind-hearted citizens were telegraph
ing Congress to aid this company,
they were sending corps Of men to
take possession of Cajon Pass for the
express purpose of forever cutting you
off from the only market for your
farmers and the only source of trade
for your merchants. And to this day
they are searching the mountains for
a gap through which they can take
from you every means of trade by
which your city can ever hope to pros
per. May heaven save us from such
corporations! Better for Los Angeles
city and county to sell one-third of all
they possess to get means to build the
independence road than to let that
corporation take that trade from them.
