los ANGELES COUNTY


This county has a front on the Pacific
Ocean of seventy-five miles, extending
back eastward far enough to cover an
area of four thousand square miles, max
ing it equal in size to seven average
counties in Tennessee. The county seat
is Los Angeles, a hourishing city ON a
river of the same name, fifteen miles
from the ocean. The northern half of
the county is mountainous. The rest is
generally very level, with occasional de-
tached ridges or low mountains. Tim
Der is scarce, but in the mountains and
along the streams there Is enough TO sup
ply the country with fuel. Lumber of a
superior quality for building and fencing
is brought by sea in large quantities
from North Carolina and Oregon. Stock
is not allowed to run out except under
charge of herdsmen; consequently the
farmer is uOt obliged to build fences to
keep out his neighbOrs' stock. A small
enclosed lot or corral is sufficient for
most farmers. This is a great saving Of
expenses, and and it enables the new
conner to plant his crop in the open prai-
RE as soon as he buys his land.
The scenery here is striking and beau-
tiful. The mountains, running East and
West across the county are rugged and
preeipitous, rising in places TO great
height. During the winter and spring
their highest peaks, in full sight, are COW
cred with snow, while the plains which
lie in their shadow are free from frost,
snow and ice, and even in midwinter are
covered with fresh green crops and car
peted with myriads OF wild flowers which
flash in the sunbeams as far as the eye can
reach. The grass, which springs up in
December and remains green until sum
mer, then turns brown and is cured by
the sun into rich pasturage for cattle aud
sheep, which need no other food.

Most Of tine Christian denominations
are we'll represented in this county, and
church ediflces are to be found in almost
every neighborhOod. Their tendency
of course is to civilize and enlighten the
people. But a considerable portion of
the men and boys in the towns are
addicted to noisy sports and exhibitions
on Sundays which are excessively disa-
greeable to those who remember the
Sabbath day and keep it holy"
The good sense and the growing of the
community and the influence of religion
will gradually correct this evil. The
people are generally Intelligent, sosiable
and friendly, and not addicted to silly
display in their dress, their houses or
their equipages, Ladies of all ranks
make themselves useful in housekeeping
or in healthful outdoor pursuits. OF the
men too many appear not to be produ-
GERS, but to be engaged in trailing, specu-
lating and i'm other exercises of their
wits.

That portion contiguous to flowing wa

heavy crops especially of corn, which
frequently reaches 100 bushels per acre.

flow by boring arteSian wells. These
wells are very convenient and are good
substitutes for bitches, but the supply
is nOt so abundant. These lands are IA

the others, but for want of surface water
are not much cultivated except in barley,
of which they produce heavy crops with

sheep and cattle, which are raised in
large numbers. This land can be bought
at from three TO fifteen dollars.

This being dry climate the great des-
ideratum is water. During last winter
there fell more than twenty inches OF
rain, but the annual average rainfall is
about twelve inches, ali of which comes
between November and April. There
are five small rivers in this county, the
Santa Clara, Los Angc' es, San Gabriel,
Coyote, and Santa Ana. These all flow
from the mountains towards the Pacific,
but except in the winter their waters
are all taken up into irrigating bitches,
or are swallowed in their sandy beds be-
fore reaching the sea. They irrigate a
large extent of country and add immense
ly to the value of the land. Besides
these rivers, there are numerous small
streams issuing from the mountain can
yons, which are extensively utilized for
irrigation. Other portions of the county
are watered by artesian wells whose
depths range from 100 to $50 feet. Ev-
erywhere except upon the elevated
grounds, ordinary wells OF water are in
use, ranging from ten to one hundred
feet deep. Wind-mills are frequently
attached to these wells which pump the
water into tanks from which it is distrib-
uted through the dwelling and over the
grounds. In purchasing land here, far
more importance is attached to its water
facilities than to the quality Of the soil.

There being no navigable rivers in this
part Of the State, all our internal travel
and transportation is overland. The
natural roads are very fine, even without
work. In addition to these, there are
five railroads radiating from Los Angeles.
The first runs due north towards San
Francisco, distant 400 miles. There is a
gap of 100 miles which suppose win be
completed in few months. The second
runs due east towards Arizona to meet the
Texas Pacific, and is completed $50 miles.
The third runs southeast towards San
Diego, and is built 30 miles. The fourth
runs south 20 miles to Wilmington which
is one of our seaports; and the fifth runs
west Is miles to our!other seaport, Santa
Monica.
Flourishing villages lie scattered at in
tervals, along these railroads. with
these various roads and these extensions
inland, soon to be completed, and with
the great ocean on our western border,
there can hardly be any limit assigned to
our commerce.
