Daily Los Angeles herald., 1881-01-01

. I 'ffHA
--..- colony u I4llauialz 4.
rived in Los Angeles yesterday,
prominent amongst whom are DR..
Hollingsworth, Of Green Castle,
Mr.. G. Il. Rice, wife and son, and
Mr.. w. w. Noland and wife, OF
Indianapolis and Mr.. Peter Luman,
wife and daughter, Of Muncie, In.
diam. This ia the first fruit
OF the Jealous labors OF Major w.
Il. Toler, who spent some weeks in
Indiana last year advocating the
claims of Los Angeles upon the
attention of the people of
the Hoosier State. Our Wis.,
itors are delighted with this
section, and they assure the Major
that he did not exaggerate the at
fractions Of thiS county one whit.
Major Toler put in his time very
pr0titably for this section, and 1t
would not be amiss to send him
back again. He certainly did good
service last year.
The Christmas tree festival at
the Episcopal Church last night
was one Of the m ost joyO we have
| ever Witnessed. The -tree-was
beautifully decora ted and hung
with presents, which, after appro.
pirate exercises, were distrib.
uted among the Sunday School
children, every one Of whom, besides
many children of larger
growth, were remembered. A
pleasant incident of the festival
was the presentation to Mrs. Bird
sail, wife OF the Rector, by Mr.. ].
M. Griffith and others, Of stock
ing containing, besides candies
and other Christmas goodies, q
purse OF one hundred dollars.
At IL O'Clock last night Chief of
Police King turned over to his sue.
csssor, Major George e. Gard, Po-
lice Headquarters with the proper
ty belonging to the department.
The new policemen were then as
signed to duty by Chief Gard and
the routine OF the office went on rs
though no change had taken place.
Chief King, on retiring to private
life, carries with him the respect of
bis fellow-citizens, nearly all of
whom believe him to have been =
faithful and efficient officer, and one
who, at all times, discharged the
duties devolving on him without
fear or favor. In common with his
many friends wo wish Mr.. King
success In whatever pursuit lie
may engage.
1t will be seen, by u double COL
umn advertise ment else here, that
the Owl Dramatic Club, yielding
to the quito universal desire of our
people, will, on Wednesday and
Thursday evenings next, at Turn
verein Hail, repeat their perform
ances of the operetta Of the "Sleep-
ing Queen" and the clever dra.
matte sketch, "Lavater." The
"Owls" were unusually happy in
their renditions OF these we'll Sc.
lected pieces, but were none the
less unhappy In the weather dis
pensation which made their pc.
cuniary success almost an impossi-
bility. The drip, drip of the rain
almost drowned the applause which
was frequent and deserved during
the late season of the "Owls.n
There is II great deal Of taleut In
this home combination, and
Wednesday and Thursday even-
ings next should be genuine ova-
ti0ns. Positively the ladies and
gentlemen engaged in these anna.
teur effhrts have so closely ap-
preached 0reditable professional
standard that our people should
take pleasure in giving them sub.
stantial encouragement.
We are gratifled at the cordial
reception given to our proposal to
publish mammoth illustrated
HERALD, with an edition Of fifty
thousand copies. The business
public greet the enterprise with an
undisguised friendliness. It will,
OF course, take several weeks to ex.
ecute u project of the magnitude
outlined. Tho paper is designed to
embrace every thing of statistical
and historical character proper in
summary of the resources and
possibilities Of the metropolis OF
Southern California and of Los
Angeles county. Our own part of
the project embraces IA liberal dis
tribution OF this paper on the new
overland railway. Thank God
this section has at last reached q
stage at which 1t will no longer be
ut the mercy of the runners OF Sac
ramsnto, who coldly and persist
emily ignore the Southern end of
the State. Hereafter we shall have
the first whaclS at the immigrants
ourselves, They will See with
their own eyes; and, lest they
should overlook the coming sec.
tiOn, the statistical HERALD will
be ut hand to supply the deficiency.
We look for, and are assured of, q
very liberal subscription from our
people to forward the circulation of
this paper.
We alluded In yesterday morn.

our leading ranches for the sum of
1926, 900. The seal of secrecy has
now been taken from the transac-
tiop. The Chino ranch, compris-
