Daily Los Angeles herald., 1878-08-17

The Fresno Erpositor publishes
the following note of thanks of Raj
sina Grange, No. 287, Of P. Of H.,
passed on the evening of the 10th
RESOLVED, That this Grange ten
der vote of thanks to our worthy
brother, Thos. A. Carey, OF Los
Angeles, for the instructive and
entertaining lecture on the subject
Of "Orange and Lemon Culture"
delivered before open Grange on
Saturday evening, Aug. 81. 1878,
and this Grange recommends
brother Carey and the nursery he
represents to all Patrons wishing
to engage in semi-tropical fruit
culture.
An excursion is being gotten up
by the fire companies of this cit
to attend the picnic Of the Ana
helm fire company on Sunday,
September lst. 1t is proposed to
engage two cars, which will re-
quire them to sell 1870 tickets, and
as many more as may be necessa-
ry. twill be splendid opportu-
nifty for those who have not yet
seen that rich section of Los An
geles county, and we should not be
surprised II at least four car loads
should avail themselves of the oc-
casion.
We elsewhere publish the in
ducements offered by the 1 X l.
Auction Company, who have
opened at No. 9, Com mercial street.
These gentlemen have been ordered
to turn $40, 900 worth of the stock
of the bankrupt house of M. Polk
& Co.. of Grand street, New York,
into cash at once. In pursuance Of
this order they offer such bar
gains as have never been seen In
Los Angeles. Read their adver-
tisement. Every conceivable arti-
Gle is there enumerated.
We feel half inclined to ask If
this thing of sprinkling the streets
at night is not mistake? Some
how or other, it seems to us that,
after the sun has gotten up an hour
or two, say at 10 O'Clock, the eff.
cacy of the sprinkling cart has
evaporated. Through the wisdom
of the City Council we get our
sprinkling very cheaply; but,
prithee. turn on the water cart
when the sun is high and raging,
and needs to be assuaged.
One thing cannot be ignored
hereabouts. If the days in Los An
geles are little warm, the nights
are simply divinely cool. Blankets
are a necessity to the mortal who
would rest in comfort during the
night, while curtailed linen, dur
ing the time the sun holds high
carnival, If not necessity, is at
least comfort. Even the Georgia
costume would be pleasant, If not
entirely dignified.
According to the Santa Ana
Times ex.State Senator Lindsey,
Register of the United States Land
Office at Visalia, and Judge Baker,
formerly County Judge of Tulare
contemplate settling ut
Santa Ana, this county. From the
above the inference is but fair that
all that is necessary to be done to
people this county with desirable
citizens is to encourage frequent
from other sections of
the State.
Mr.. VIM. e. Smith, the gentle
manly and efficient representa- i've
Of the Western Union Telegraph
at Fort Yuma, passed
Los Angeles yesterday, ell
route to Oakland, where he propos-
es to spend few weeks. Mr..
Smiths long siege in the torrid
lands adjoining the Colorado have
him to q liberal vacation.
We trust to meet him thoroughly
rtjuvenated Oh his return.
Capt. Andrews, from camp
Apache, passed through Los An
geles yesterday, with one company
Of United States regulars. He
brought two companies with him
as far as Yuma, but left one at that
point, because an Indian outbreak
Is looked for in the region domi.
mated by the famous fort at that
place. Capt, Andrews was accom-
panied by DR.. Oldmixon.
