DEATH.


On the 9th inst, Mrs. Whitney Day

one child to lament her loss. She was
native of Wisconsin, and has only been
resident of this place a short time. Fun

severe wound. Medical aid was called and
the torn flesh sowed up. He seems to be

Alexander, while removing the dilapidated
boards from the gable end of Mr.. Scottens
house, came in contact with large nest

agility, the little .felloeo planked a stinger
right between his eyes, the one lick MAX

however, Henry came out with nothing
worse than pair of swollen eyes, and with

The Herald Of this Morning.

The Daily HERALD of this morning
is twelve page edition containing
seventy-six columns of matter. The
contents are complete history of Los
Angeles county with concise report
of her various Industries, together
with an impartial description of her
soil and climate. We have endeav-
ored to give fair account of every
town and village in the valley and to
place on record an unprecedented state
ment OF the progress and improvement
in every direction and of every kind
during the year just closed. The Ia
Dor of preparing and placing this im-
mense fund of information in the
hands of our readers has cost the HER
AID Publishing Company some five
hundred dollars for which they expect
no other remuneration than q recog-
milton of their earnest efforts to dis
seminate plain, unvarnished truths
concerning the garden spot of the Pa
cific Coast-Los Angeles valley. The
last years first of January HERALD
was an epitome of Southern California
intelligence. 1t was scattered through
out the East and many copies found
their way to Europe. We have the
authority of the new comers them
selves for saying the information con-
tanned in these columns induced hun
dreds to seek and build their homes
in this valley. The paper of this
morning re-asserts the facts of one
year ago, and adds a complete record
of our progress and improvement dur
ing that period.

Government Lands.

Probably more inquiries are received from
parties in the East regarding Government
Lands in Los Angeles County than on any
other subject. For the benefit of such inqui-
rers we have compiled the following statistics
from the books of the U. s Register and Re-
ceiver. The district over which the office at
Los Angeles extends EN- braces San Diego and
Los Angeles counties and parts of Santa Bar
lara, Ventura and Kern, running from the
State line on the South TO what is known as
the eighth Standard South" on the North.

Sacramento has weakness for ap-
propriating handsome little sums
from the State Treasury. The Cnpi-
tol building absorbed millions-that
was for the Commonwealth. The Cap
itol grounds were irrigated with gold
that was for the Commonwealth. The
Governors mansion ran up into the
thousands-that was for the Common
wealth. Many thousands are absorb
ed in the State Agricultural Fair
grounds-a piece of property to which
the State would have some difficulty
in establishing her tltle-this too is
claimed to be for the Commonwealth.
Now comes CREED RAYMOND with a
modest request for $25, 900 to establish
a Botanical garden at Sacramento
for the Commonwealth. Like the
other slices which Sacramento has ap-
propriated, this demand If granted
would be followed by other demands
at each session until every plant
would cost more than its weight in
gold, and Sacramento, modest Sacra-
mento, will have absorbed the ORC.
No, CREED, we don't want State
Botanical garden, or State garden of
any kind-at Sacramento. A State
boarding-house with table and beds
at which one could eat and sleep dur
ing the session of the Legislature with
out having to pay five prices for the
privilege, might be a good thing, pro-
vided it was not given into the control
of the generous, liberal hearted people
of Sacramento, but no botanical gar
dens at the expense of the people, II
you please. No member of the Legis-
lature who cares for the good will OF
bis constituents, save the members
for Sacramento, will vote for CREED's
little bill.
