WHEAT, wheat and still wheat,
is the demand of our local situa-
ton. There is no limit to the
amount of wheat which can be
grown in Los Angeles county. Dur
ing the past two years we have inn
proved almost a thousand per cent.
upon the previous wheat record of
this county. All we need for the
future is to have faith and to select
the proper seed. Wheat is not
only cereal, bit it is as good as
gold. 1t represents the needs of all
quarters of the world. Bread is lit
orally the staff of life, and Califor-
MIA is the great bread producer. We
venture the prediction that, within
decade from to-day, Los Angeles
county will be the prime wheat
producing region of this State.
Daily Los Angeles herald., 1879-10-19

WHILE we have the most roseate
hopes as to the future of the sugar
beet interests of Los Angeles
county, we take our appreciation
OF the possibilities of this topic
from the Messrs. Gennert and
Shields. We hope that the expecta-
tions Of these gentlemen will not
only be realized but surpassed. AS
far as the editor of the HERALD is
concerned, he bases his expecta-
lions OF the future of Los Angeles
county on oranges, lemons, grapes
and wheat. In our opinion, the
great future Of Southern California.
and Of Los Angeles coun y IN par
ticular, lies in these specialti es.
Their proper development means
untold millions. AS to grapes and
the semi-tropical fruits, the future
Of this county is really the present.
The Issue Is here now. Los Ange-
les county cannot to-day begin to
furnish half the mum Der of oranges
needed by the Pacific Coast alone.
When 1t comes to supplying the
wine and brandy void made by the
gap left In the French production
by the ravages Of the phylloxera,
there Is sort of commercial
"bloody chasm," even more dis
piriting than our local American
abyss. But We will all stand in
hereabouts and fill it.
Daily Los Angeles herald., 1879-10-19

WHEN the Eastern papers arrive
we shall be able to estimate at their
true value both the Ohio and Iowa
elections-and not before. The AS
ISOLATED Press is too devoted a par
tizan to allow us to catch the sig
nificances of the contest in Ohio In
advance Of the arrival of the New
York newspapers. AS yet we can.
not tell whether the Republican
party has a majority or a mere plu.
rality OF the popular vote in Ohio.
We notice that the Republican
majority in Iowa is small compar.
atively-only 10000. 1t should not
be forgotten that the normal Re-
publican msjorityl in that State is
from fifty to eighty thousand. I'm
der the circumstances, we watch
and wait and-hope.
Daily Los Angeles herald., 1879-10-19

Now let the kettle drum and
trumpet bray out the triumph of
the pledge of the people Of Ohio
and Iowa to the Republican party.
Let it bray out, at the same time,
the union of all elements opposed
to further abuse Of national power
by the Republican party, entrench-
ed in power at Washington! The
people will catch up the issue
raised by bureaucratic insolence,
and the people will win! Yea, even
though New York should, for the
moment, lose its head. and encour-
age Democratic treason, events are
shaping for solid and irresistible
anti-C@sar party next year.
Daily Los Angeles herald., 1879-10-19

ccndone is Its devotion to econo-
my, retrenchment and reform.
Should 1t develop a rakish scoun-
drelism, and q free-booting policy,
in the coming session, 1t can
redeem all previous unmanly
weakness in the line of an aspira.
ton for good Republican govern
ment. We are not without hope
that there Is enough latent villainy
In the present Democratic Congress
to assure us success in the next
Presidential election. AS long as
there is life there is hope.

IT should never be forgotten that

IT should never be forgotten that
the first distinctive and successful
Colonial experiment IN California
was made In this county. 1t was
not only successful from a business
standpoint, but from poetical one
as we'll. Anaheim is sui geneyis
amongst all the schemes of men to
associate themselves in agricultur-
al and horticultural effort. Ana
helm is to-day a "solid'' commune
ty. Not only that, but 1t is a set
Element peautified by every natur.
81 and artificial adjunct of wealth.
There are regions in the Eastern
States to-day, twenty times as old
as Anaheim, which have not one
twentieth part OF the wealth Of that
charming region. In this connec.
ton the Anaheim Gazette, OF Octo.
Der 18th, has the following true
and suggestive reflections, apropos
Of Colonial experiments now under
way:
1t is to be hoped that the colo.
MES, which rumor says are form
ing in various parts of the States,
for emigration to Southern Califor-
MIA, will keep their organizations
intact and settle upon some of the
choice tracts of land which abound
here. If one will think for mo-
ment of the advantages which q
new settler derives from being as
ISOLATED with and receiving the en-
couragement and assistance OF his
old friends and neighbors. he will
be forced to admit that it is de-
cidedly the best way to settle in
this county. There are several
colonies in this part of the State
which could be cited in support of
this proposition, but we will direct
attention only to Anaheim, the
pioneer colony, the history of
which, we think, furnishes indubi-
table proof of the advantages of the
colony system.
1t should be borne in mind that
when Anaheim was first estab-
lished, (1S59) the surrounding
country was literally wilderness.
Obstacles had to be encountered
and overcome which would not
now present themselves. The col
onists had nothing to guide them
toward success but their own com.
mon sense and strong arms. There
was no one who could advise them;
they were left to work out their
own salvation as best they could.
And it should be further remem-
bered that not one of them were
experts at grape growing or wine
making. Almost every trade aud
profession was represented, but
there was profound ignorance of
practical agriculture or horticult-
ure. And yet with all these draw
backs to contend with, the colony
hourished and prospered and the
colonists did make, and are now
making, money, We repeat that
the colony of Anaheim is the very
bestevidence that can be offered that
the system is good one to pursue.
Ii the colonists of 1859 prospered,
why not the coloDlsts of 1879
: Suppose q colony of farmers should
ne here from the East, buy a
Thousand or two thousand acres ad-
Joining Anaheim, what is to pre-
vent them from speedily making
picturesque, comfortable homes
and reaping pecuniary reward as
we'll? With all the experience of
the pioneers to guide them, beset
with none of the difficulties which
presented themselves to the early
colonists, 1t would be strange in
deed if they failed to fare equally
40 we'll.
