Fine Thoroughiare Desired.

EDITOR HERALD: In your last
issue you note the improvement on
Figueroa street and that the zanja
will be taken inside of private
fences; that the city will be at the
expense of improving the street,
and that private parties will bean
the expense of fiuming the zanjas.
Some mistakes there, if you please.
In the first place, you mean Pearl
street.
Second-The city incurs the ex-
pense of said fluming.
Third - Two years ago, when
property holders on Figueroa street
commenced grading at their own
expense, they petitioned the City
Council to vacate the old Zanja in
the street and they would consent
to have the water flumed inside
their fences, if the city would bear
the expense; which said PROPOSE.
ton was agreed to.
That zanja on the sidewalk on
Figueroa street is an abomination
of the first class, the cleaning of
which costs the city twice as much
as would I've the interest on the cost
of fluming. If the Council would
order it done, which they are com
mitted to do, it would give en-
ployment to men who are deserv-
ing of patronage, would enable the
property holders to construct side
walks, would be a great saving to
the city and q general public bene-
faction, and would give us Il drive
that would be something to be
proud of. That old zanja, stand
ing, in places, high above the
grade, is u perpetual nuisance, and
expensive Improvements being car
ried out by the city above will in
no way benefit those using that
zapja, for the reason that it is of so
small capacity that it will only
carry just so much water, and on
account of the street grade it can
never be enlarged. AS it now
stands, or breaks. it is productive
of "a prolific growth of noxious
weeds and grasses, and is an utter
abOmination to the sight.
Let the Council stretch its liber-
atty and abate the nuisance, and,
Mr.. Editor, if you will be kind
enough to lend the weight of your
influence in the premises, you will
greatly oblige the patient public on
and west of

A party of five drunken hood
lums, who had just come in from
Yuma, created quite disturbance
in front OF the Pco House yester-
day evening. Officer McFadden
arrested the ringleader and, as he
was crossing the street with him,
one of the Others caught hold of the
officer to rescue his prisoner, when
McFadden turned and knocked him
down. Officer Sands, who fortu-
nately came up, arrested the Sec
ond man and the two were marched
off to Jail. Other officers took in
the balance of the quintette and
the whole party were locked up.
After their Incarceration, they got
up row with the inmates, in
which they came off second best.
One of them, like the American
army in Mexico, wouldn't stay
whipped and he was taken out and
placed in the cooler" This same
fellow raised n row with the con-
ductor of the train, on whom he
drew q pistol, for which he was
landed, but afterwards, on promis-
Using to keep quiet, was taken on
and allowed to come to this city.
They will have hearing before
Judge Peel this morning, when we
hope they will be taught that they
can't "run Los Angeles.n

THE PlCO DISTRICT.
Gratifying Production - Single Well
Yielding Sixty Barrels Day - Heavy
Stock in Tank

From u gentleman who lately
came in from the Pico District we
learn that the oil outlook is a very
promising one there. A single
well has now, for long while,
been yielding sixty barrels of crude
petroleum day. In addition to
the large quantities of oil which
are being refined daily at the Stan
dard Works, there are now some
three thousand barrels of green Pc
troleum, of splendid grade, in the
tanks, waiting their turn to be re-
fined. This oil would be worth in
the East about $1s0 barrel, ord
is worth here easily So barrel.
The wells which are yielding
this handsome supply of oil are
located on the lands of the Messrs
Beale and Baker, and we under
stand that a litigation is on foot
which cannot fail to excite consid-
cradle interest. The general idea
has been that the Standard Oil
Company had leased the land on
which the wells are located from
the Messis. Beale & Baker. COW
enanting TO pay the latter gentle.
men one-eighth Of the yield as a
royalty. 1t now appears that the
Standard Company itself claims
four-sevenths of the ownership of
the land and, consequently, four
seventies of the royalty. The lease
under which they originally be-
gan to operate will expire in July,
and then the question of title will
probably come up in the courts.
The Messrs. Taylor and Mark l..
Mcdonald, of San Francisco, are
largely interested in the Standard
Company.

Public Speaking.

General Echols and Judge Harris had
a political discussion here on Monday
as candidates for Congress. 1t would
be useless waste Of space to make a
report of the speeches. Each simply
ampli6ed what has been presented hlth-
erto from the hust.ngs and their respec-
tive cards. Judge Harris sustained the
greenback theory and opposition to the
National Banks and insisted that he has
all the time been one Of It's most zeal
Gus champions, opposing all the meas
ures and schemes for contraction ofthe
currency.
General. Echols favored the resumption
act and the National Banking system
and opposed any issue Of greenbacks by
government in lieu of the bank notes.
He claimed that banking under the ma
tional system it not the profitable and
costly one is represented to be, and
that tits the best yet devised.
This made up The the issue between
these gentlemen. The people Of this
county want no comment. Opinion Is
all one sided and fully made up. What
the necessity is for taxing the people
twenty millions for a currency to be dis
tributed plentiully in New England and
scantily at 10 to u per cent. in the
States of the South has not and cannot
be explained. 1t is simply a monstros-
ity. However seme may differ on the
question Of how much currency this
country should float and on what it
SHOULD be based, there Is mere as to the
oppression and wrong Of employing Ma
tional Banks as they are at present in
stituted to handle It.
1t was understood that Captain Paul
is campaigning IL Eastern Virginia and
that he would be represented here, but
owing to the refusal of The court to adj
ieurn the trial of q case that had been
commenced, and was not concluded till
about six o'clock there was no appear
ance put in for him. We think however
there can be no misunderstanding as to
the several positions Of these gentlemen
on the paramount issues before the
country.
