When Chris. James went on bis matri-

sent BY him for q handful or 80 OF genu-
Inc Irish soil. When he returned In the
Fall, Chris. brought him o cigar boz full
OF real Irish soil, taken from Cork.

The Two Plans.

EDITOR HERALD: have heard 1t stated
that gentleman familiar with the business
ofTemple & Workman's Bank asserts that II
the firm went into bankruptcy assets not now
accounted tor could be Iound which would
mat rally increase the per centage which the
cred tors will receive. Is this true, and il so
why does the Express labor so hard to prevent
settlement ofthe business by the bankrupt
c! process? JUSTICE.
Los Angeles, Feb. IL, 1876.
We Lave heard the rumor as well as
the name of the gentleman credited
with having made the statement but
We have had no conversation with him
4 on the subject, and cannot therefore
vouch for the correctness of the report
or positively name its author. When
the condition of the bank became
known the HERALD took the ground
that the fairest and most equitable pro-
cedure that could be adopted for both
the bankers and their creditors, was to
close up the business In the bankrupt
court. We believe this Is the only
method by which the depositors and
small creditors would receive fair
pro rata OF the proceeds OF the estate,
and for this reason we urged this course.
The history of assignee settlement
proves that the large claimants receive
the most attention and per consequence
secuere proportionately the greatest
share of the proceeds. Our idea of set
Ting matter of this kind is to
give the one hundred dollar depos-
itor an equally fair chance with the
holder of one hundred thousand dol
lar claim. The bankrupt court carries
out this idea, while it cannot be claim.

Unlawful Rates.

The rates of fare for passenger travel
collected on the road running from
this city to Santa Monica are the most
exorbitant for single mile collected
ON any road in the world. The rates
from Los Angeles to Santa Monica,
which means a stopping place about
three fourths of mile from the land
ing, are seventy-five cents per passen-
ger, but if the traveller wishes ticket
to the wharf he is charged one dollar.
Thus it will be seen that for the privi-
lege of riding less than one mile on
the Santa Monica road the passenger
is required to pay twenty-five cents.
This is pretty high charges fora COM
pany whose organ is cor rstantly moan
ing over the eXorbitant rates of the
Southern Pacific Railroad Company.
But the worst of it is that this immac-
ulate little toy railroad vic lates the
law and endangers its charter, if it has
one, every time it collects this extra
twenty-five cents. Ii the reader will
take up the statutes Of California for
1874 and turn to page 772 he will
flnd IAN act to provide for the con-
stiuction of railroad from Indepen-
dence in the county of Inyo, to the
city of Los Angeles, Los Angeles
county, and to regulate fares and
freights thereon approved March
2Sth, 1874, section three of which reads
as follows:
1t shall be lawful for the parties aforesaid,
and their assigns, to charge and receive
any sum not exceeding eight 49, cents per
mile for each passenger, and ten Q0l cents
said road Provided, that upon freight trans
ported on said road for any distance not ex-
ceecing twenty (20 miles, twenty-five per
cent may be added to the above rates,
Unless assured of the fact no one
would for moment suspect after
reading the title of the act from
which We take the above quoted Sec
tion, that 1t was the law under which
the Santa Monica road claims exis-
tence, but such is the case, and as it is
so, we respectfully suggest to the man
ayers of the road that they modify and
reduce their rates for both freight and
fares, so that they will not endanger
their charter. Section nine of the
same act provides that mo free passes
shall be issued or given to any person
or party to travel the road, except on
ly to those who are actually engaged
in the business of the road.n This of
course does not apply to the Express

Pomona.

The prospects of the approaching
Pomona Land Sales, are surprising
our real estate dealers. The public at
first considered the announcement of
the sale little too early in the sea-
son, but the last few days have devel-
oped the fact that there are hundreds
of people now in Southern California
who are looking for homes and who
have the money and the disposition to
buy. All such are now turning their
attention toward Pomona and the
Sunday excursion and the public
sales next week now promise to be
very largely attended with results
highly satisfactory to the Land Com
pany. We are assured that the Po-
mona lands will he sold without re-
serve AMI that the highest bidders
will take the land. The reputation of
the company handling the Pomona
tract, for fair dealing, was well estab-
lished last year at Artesia and the
land buyer can place reliance on the
representations made by the eompa-
ny. There is less speculative spirit
abroad this year than last and the
probability is that fewer spectators
and more real settlers will buy at Po-
mona than bought at Artesia last
year. This will be beneficial to those
who buy.

Officially we know nothing of the
intention of the Southern Pacific Com
pany as to the building of a road from
the new depot in this city to the ocean
at the mouth of santa Monica Creek.
1t occurred to US some time ago that
su n road was necessary to the COM
pletion of the company's roads in this
part OF the State and we made the
suggestion. Since that time we have
heard nothing beyond the mere ru-
NOR that the idea was favorably re-
