and through that settlement in
considerable volume.

this dernier resort.
We were favored with a call yes.
terday from Judge Hopper, of
the Monte. The Judge is applying
his energies to having q township
trespass law, which will simplify
and cheaper the present process,
passed by the Legislature. His
idea Is a good one aud we heartily
second 1t. The present system Is
cumbrous and costly.
The Los Angeles Guards come to
the front with determined pur-
pose to celebrate Washington's
Birthday fittipgly. 1t will be seen,
by advertise Ment elsewhere, that
they propose to parade and to have
a grand military ball in the eve

and a knowledge of the enterprising
caliber of its embers, justify us in
predicting that their demonstration
will he signally successful one.
We had the pleasure of call
yesterday from our handsome and
fresh-faced middle-aged friend, ex-
State Senator Charles Maclay. He
tells us that the San Fernando
valley is going to distinguish itself

that valley alone, the sowing hav-
ing been finished last week. Nor
is that all. The crop will be I'M
precedented in volume. In addi-
ton, three thousand acres of bar
ley have been sown. For q single
nook of Los Angeles county this is
a good showing,
We dropped in at Gil Jones's
family grocery, No. Al Spring
street, yesterday and were sur
pried to see the extent and variety
of his stock. His store, though
small, is fully supplied with every
thing in the grocery line, including
canned and dried fruits, hams, ba-
con, butter, eggs and, indeed, every
article necessary to comfortable or
even Injurious living, all of which
he sells at the most satisfactory
prices.
