IT is evident to all that we need and

IT is evident to all that we need and
must have greater school room facili-
ties or leave large number of chill
dren unprovded with opportunities
for obtaining education. Our schools
are crowded to excess, and the Board
of Education have in hand number
of petitions for the establishment of
new schools. The Board is without
funds to build and fit up school houses,
and the great point to be considered is
the best method for raising the amount
required. There are two ways sug-
gested-special tax and the issuance of
bonds. Our Legislative delegation
are ready and anxious to introduce
and support the measure which shall
most fully meet the approval of the
nDeople, but they are unnformed as to
he desire of the taxpayers ard ask
formation. Some action should be
ID at once and the delegation noti-
fled as to the will of the majority.

IN another column we publish the
Cashiers statement of the financial
condition of the Farmers and Mer-
chants Bank, which we think will
more than verify the announcement
made in these columns some days ago,
that this bank is OH as firm a basis as
any bank In the State. Its money on
hand, loans, ETC., speak for them
selves, and we have only to add that
no banking establishment is more
carefully conducted, and. certainly
none is differed by more experienced
or more thorough business men. The
Farmers and Merchants Bank has
long possessed the confidence of our
business community, and the exhibit
we this morning lay before our read
ers will, If possible, add to the conf
dence already felt in its strength and
stability.

TIE CI0ven Foot Sticks Out.

Anevening paper published in this
city which is regarded as the property
of the owners of the Santa Monica
railroad and which could not exist a
week OH its legitimate resouces, first
charges that the Central and Southern
Pacific Railroad Corporations own or
control number of newspapers in
this state and then holds up its mena-
cled hands in affected holy horror over
its self-assumed fact that such is the
case. For our part we do not believe
that these corporations own or control
single newspaper in the state. There
does not exist single reason why
they should. They are engaged in a
legitimate business which does not re-
quire journalistic advocacy or support.
They are not seeking for donation or
subsidy. They have no friends to re-
ward or enemies to punish. Their in
terests are identified and are Identical
with those of the people. A measure
or movement that adversely affects
them is blow at the prosperity of the
entire community and therefore so far
from finding themselves called upon
to purchase newspaper support they
obtain it without money and without
price from every journal that mas for
its object the advancement of the best
interests of the whole people. The
ARCHER freights and fares bill is
malicious stab at the railroad compa-
MES, intended to render useless many
of the roads now built and to prevent
the building of others. To carry out
Los Angeles daily herald., 1876-03-14

the purpose of this bill is to injure
the farmer, merchant, capitalist and
laborer. AS soon as the intent of the
bill was understood, every newspaper
of influence and respectability in the
State opposed Its passage. They re-
fleet the will of the people. Was
there the slightest occasion for the
railroad companies to hire the infiu-
ence of newspapers against the AR
CHER bill Certainly not, for through
the people they received the influence
or the peoples journals. But how is
it with the sheet that prefers its un-
reasonable charges against the Central
and Pacific Railroad Companies: Is
it not in the pay of the Santa Monica
railroad? Does not the owner of that
road control if he does not own it? It's
own course seems to warrant the an
swering of these questions in the affir-
native. We do not find the journals
it insinuates are influenced by the
"great corporations" begging the peo-
pie to burden themselves with debt in
the shape of subsidy to those corpora
tions, yet this paper that is SO ready
to charge other journals with acting
under railroad influence has for
months lmplored the people of this
city and county to donate six hundred
thousand dollars to Senator JONES
or to the road he talks of building. 1t
is the individual or corporation that
seeks the peoples substance in the
shape of subsidy we find purchasing
newspaper influence. In proclaiming
It's contemporaries the creatures of the
Central and Southern Pacific Railway
Companies is not the Express raising
the cry of "stop thief" with view of
,liverting attention from itself as the
paid tool of gentleman who thinks
of going into the railroad business
himself provided his hired newspaper
succeeds in inducing the people to give
him good round subsidy

The village marshal has thinned out
the dogs in Tucson amazingly, and
these animals have now hard work to
gather quorum at their nightly try
sting-places. After one nights cam
paign, last week, there were lying in
the streets the next morning 100 dead
dogs. Great care has been taken in
disposing of the carcasses, and it is
doubtful if any considerable number
of them have found their way into the
inflated bologna or the deceptive
mince pie.
Mr.. A. Dibby returned from the

Roskruge of Tucson, and was believed
then to be re-discovery of the long
sought Elias mine, which in ancient
times yielded pure silver in such vast
quantities that the Spanish govern
ment confiscated it its own use. At
the time of its discovery there were
found shaft of unknown depth and
furnaces and other ruins, and debris
of ore.

Building Prospects.

The coming season promises to be
the most active in building operations
ever experienced in Los Angeles.
We published o statement some time
ago showing that plans are already in
the hands OF our architects, the execu-
tion of which will cost in the neigh
borhood of half million dollars. The
real improvements will no doubt
more than double this figure. Look
ing to our building capacity in view
of this immense demand for material
we have gathered the following fig
ures. The number of brick on hand
in the several yards is as follows:
,000
beInaruo 900
j. Wexell (about) 4O, ,OO5
100000
OF which large portion still remain
unsold. In less than two months
there will be large number of new
bricks made, so that builders cannot
complain of q want of building mate
rial. Every lumber merchant in our
city is receiving weekly large sup
plies OF lumber and materials for
building, and when Spring opens our
yards will be full.
Mr.. e. A. Preuss, Jr., opened his
elegant new drug store adjoining the
HERALD office yesterday. In all
things the place is a model of good
taste and elegance. The finish of the
room is such that it gives pleasant
air to the whole establishment which
added to the fresh appearance of the
stock and fixtures forms an extremely
pleasing picture. The fine marble soda
fountain cost Mr.. Preuss about 81 200
as 1t stands. One can almost affsrd to
take pills without grumble when
they come from such an inviting place.
