THERE is one respect In which
we can rightfully boast great ad-
vantage over the late and cold
bottom lands of the Northern and
Central portions of the State. The
energetic market gardener here
can make his fortune every spring
and winter. He can grow vegeta-
bles which cannot possibly be
raised in the open air in Northern
California at this season of the
year, and he can get hothouse
prices for them. With his string
beans, his green peas and early po-
tatoes, lie can carry the San Fran
cisco markets by storm. This
field of enterprise will undoubtedly
be largely developed some day.

Anderson offered as an amend

he taken to apply to the removal
Of deceased persons from one cem-

amended passed by vote of 3S to

serve the water channels of this
State and to prevent the filling up
of the streams, rivers and bays of
this State with tailings and debris
from hydraulic mines. Referred
to the Committee on Agriculture
and Mines and Mining Interests.
The first section makes it misde-
meanor for any person, whether
working for himself or others, to
deposit in the bed of any river in
the State tailings or debris from
any mine worked by hydraulic
process; but nothing in this act
shall be construed TO prohibit any
person from acquiring the various

rivers and their branches and

To us it would seem that nothing
is more patent than the fact that
Los Angeles county needs a Court
House and Jail which shall show
that we are in sympathy with the
progress of the age. We are aware
that our public debt should be in
G reased only with extreme circum-
spection. Owing to our faulty sys.
tenn of finance, our tax levies are
much larger than they ought to be.
We should fund all our debts, and
the burden would not then be so
great. But, whether our levies ale
large or small, community OF the
size and wealth of Los Angeles
city and county must have suitable
public buildings. The present
county and city Jail is simply a
disgrace to any civilized commune
ty. The Court House is utterly in
sufficient to accommodate the
growing business of Los Angeles
county. To immure any one,
criminal or other, in our local jail,
is d crime of as grave magnitude
as those committed by most of the
inmates themselves. A communi-
ty owes it to itself to provide clean
Iy and sufficient accommodation
for all whose misfortune or crime
have led TO their Incarceration.
Even though they swell our tax
levies, which they undoubtedly
will, we should have this Court
House and Jail. We learn that OPP
position to the measure may he ex-
pected from the southern end of
the county. We hope this is a
mistake. Our local pride should
lead oil portions of Los Angeles
county to take an interest in our
having suitable public buildings.
Much of the expense can be obYi-
ated if the city and county unite,
sell the property they already own,
and apply the proceeds to purchas-
ing suitable site and erecting
thereon the new edifices. A move
ment is now on foot, we under
stand, which will result in legis-
lative sanction of the new pro.
gramme. OF course, it will have
to be acted on finally by the people
themselves, directly, or through.the
Board of Supervisors and the
Counpil
