The expectation of forest tree seeds is as
suming dimensions in this country. Cali
fornia sends $4,000 worth per year. The
principal purchases are made for Germany,
Austria, England and the Colonies OF
Australia and New Zealand, and at present
the demand exceeds the supply. The
seeds Of the Oregon pine, known also as
the yellow fir, are most in demand. The
timber of the tree is as good as British oak
for ship building, and has been found sound
after eighteen years use for this purpose.
The South Sea Colonies are planting the
California red wood tree extensively.

by large focks of kangaroos, which have
been starved out of the interior BY severe

Petroleum as Fuel.

EDITOR HERALD; In view of the
recent Development in oil mado in
the Little Sespe Petroleum Dis
trlct, the following inform alton,
condensed from an article in the
last number of the Scientific amer
ican, may be of interest to your
readers:
The theoretic heating power of
petroleum is to that of bituminous
and anthracite coal respectively as
16 to Is and l3, but the heating ef-
fects depend so largely on combus-
tion that these theorctic values are
but little considered.
Even in the most improved gas
furnaces, viz, these Of Tiemens
and Ponsard, but 20 to 25 per cent.
Of the total heat OF the coal con-
sumed is gained; in ordinary rever-
beratory furnaces but z to per
cent. of the heat is utilized. Since
the discovery of petroleum in
America many methods have been
attempted for utilizing petroleum
| to the greatest advantage as q fuel.
Tho results of some Of the most
favorable workings, as reported by
boards Of naval engineers, showed
economies Of from as to 6S per cent.
over the use of anthracite coal Ia
the generation of steam; and the
further advantages Of great reduc-
tion In weight and bulk of fuel, 10
labor Of firing, aud In quick attain

Council Meeting-Special Session.

The Council met at O'Clock r.
NJ. yesterday, all the members being
present. Mr.. Lips was called to
the Chair and stated the object of
the meeting, which was to pass
resolutions Of respec. to the menu
ory of Mayor MacDougall, de-
ceased, and to make arrangements
for attending the funeral.
City Attorney Godfrey said:
MIR. PREsIDENT:-Two years ago
the coming month the Hon. II. A.
MacDougall was elected Mayor of
this city. During the period since
elapsed there have been many mat
ters before the Council materially
affecting the general welfare. His
every act has been sub
servient to the public interest.
Acts of this Council, even when
contrary to his own interests and
those OF his friends when in his
opinion designed for the general
welfare, have been approved by
him and passed with the sanction
Of his name. He has done his duty
independently, without fear and
without favor. He was kind and
courteous towards all. He was an
honest man. He has not lived to
see the end of his term Of office,
but we who know him can attest
how we'll he has done bin part.
Therefore,
Res6lUed, that the death of the
Hon. +. A. MacDougall is in our
opinion a public calamity, and we,
the members Of the Council Of the
City OF Los Angeles, tender to his
family our sincere sympathy fol
their great loss.
The resolution was unanimously
adopted and ordered spread upon
the minutes and copy of the same
to be furnished to the afflicted
family of the deceased.
| 1t was ordered that the CLERK
| give notice to the citizens and al
civic and military organizations tf
meet at the council rooms at
O'Clock p. NJ, Sunday, Nov. 18th
to attend the funeral of the de-
ceased.

Resolutions os Respect,

At q meeting called by the Police
Commissioners, held at the Coun.
Gil rooms ut 8 o'clock p. NJ, Nov.
10th, 1873, the death of DR.. Mac
Dougall, the Mayor of the city and
Police Commissioner, was an
nounced, whereupon tie following
preamble and resolutions were
adopted by the whole police force:
WHEREAS, it has pleased God to
take from US our beloved Mayor
and Police Commissioner, we feel It
incumbent upon us, as officials
OF the city to express our
estimate of the character of the de-
ceased to the public. We believe
the citizens never performed q
more commendabie act than they
did in placing DR.. MacDougall at
the head Of our municipal govern
ment, thus placing him at the head
OF society as one to whom we could
with pride poiIt our children as a
model of excellence and worthy to
be our leader. He was remarkable
alike for honesty, simplicity, inde-
pendence and perfect frankness of
He was not man OF
policy but of unswerving principle.
His nature, too, was as generous as
1t was honest and frank. They
who had the good fortune to know
him were impressed with the idea
that more noble and intellectual
lover Of truth, never adorned an
official position. Therefore, be II
ResoIved, 1st. That in the death
of Mayor MacDougal the city has
lost q most faithful servant and the
Police force one Of their wisest and
kindest Com missioners.
End. That we wear the usual
badge OF mourning on our stars for
thirty days.
3rd. That we tender to his be-
reaved family our warmest sympa-
thy in their deep afflictiOn.
4th. That this preamble and res.
olutions be published in the daily
papers aud copy be sent to his
family.

Guilty Of controlling the tempera
lures, and the occasional explo
sions and fires, which alarmed
both owners and insurance com.
panies, led on all sides to the tenn
porary abandonment OF the new
fuel. Further investigations, how.
ever, here, as well as in England
and France, have shown that a jet
of superheated steam, impinging
upon drip Of oil and o proportion
OF So volumes of air to one OF petro-
leum vapor, have given the most
satisfactory results both in smoke
less combustion and in increased
heating power. Within the last
few days so good an account has
been made Of this knowledge that
all Indications strongly point to the
general substitution, In no very
distant future, OF petroleum for
coal, In the manufacture of glass,
OF iron, steel and other metals. 1t
has been found, from prolonged ex-
periments, that with coal at SIS per
ton and oil at $40 barrel an econ-
omy Of so per cent. isgained by the
use ofthe latter. The great disparity
between the practical effects of
oil and coal is explained by the
wasteful consumption of tie solid
coal, while the combustion of oil
10 nearly or quite perfect, securing
85 to 80 per cent. of its total heat.
The intensity and exceptional pur-
ity of the oil flame-there being no
residual ashes or sulphurous gases
ARE very important factors In iron
smelling, insuring purer iron in the
pudding and melting, aud better
welding in the heating furnace;
and they present unusual advant.
ages to workers of glass. The dan.
gers ordinarily attending the use Of
this new fuel have been overcome,
In one instance, at least, and this
device has been approved by those
underwriters who have had n
brought to their notice. Quite re-
Gently the inventor of perhaps the
most perfect system for usiug this
fuel has applied it to the manufac-
ture of polished sheet iron, with re.
suits superior to any before attain.
ed in this country.
The above has been condensed
from the leading scientific pa per of
the United States, and one which
stands second to none in the world.
Southern California may we'll
congratulate itself on its inexhaust-
ibIe supplies of oil and iron.
England owes, to great extent,
her enormous wealth to her coal
and iron; we have here the iron
and a fuel infinitely superior to
coal. Oil at $40 a barrel is equal
to coal at $3.50 u ton. But oil can
be supplied for one-third that price
in Los Angeles, which would be
equivalent to coal for smelling pur.
poses at 80 cents per ton. Nearly
the whole Of the Little Sespe petro-
leum district, as well ASA large por-
tion of that of San Fernando, is in
the hands of Los Angeles men. We
are bound to have here, in no dis
tiant future, q great manufacturing
and smelling centre.
Yours obediently, A. H.

Delicious Sweet Potatoes.

The question Of raising dry, de-
licious sweet potatoes 10 Los Ange-
les county has been settled fayora.
bly, by Mr.. Bangle. who farms near
Downey City. BTr. Bangle sent
East for sesd-the Cuban variety
and the result Is sweet potato de.
licious enough to remind an ex-
cotton better Of the excellencies of
that esculent as grown in the warm
sands Of Georgia or Alabama. In
fact, our informant, citizen of
Florence, who has tried Mr.. Ban.
gle's sweet potatoes, has cultivated
that tuber in Alabama and knows
whereof he testities when he state es
that Mr.. Bangles sweet potatoes
are so nearly equal in quality to
those OF the same variety grown in
that cotton State, famous for the
next thing to the nonpareil sweet
potato that, as happily tempered
Snagsby would have said. "not to
put too fine point upon it," they
are just good enough. Our in.
formant deposeth not as to the
quality of the soil producing the
isangIe potatoes, as he does not
know certainly, but would use up
every one OF million guesses that
sandy soil produced them. Every
Alabamian knows that it takes
sandy soil to make the best sweet
potatoes in the cotton belt or in
California, or anywhere else. It is
also generally we | known that the
sweet potato requires but little
water and, to come to perfection in
quality, must not have much
water. An excessively irrigated
sweet potato may grow excessively
big but it will certainly be excess
sively insipid.
