Get Ready for the BOSS" Boom.

Elsewhere we reproduce extracts
from the correspondence of the Texas
editors who lately visited Los Angeles.
They breathe a rapture, as to the sur
roundings of Los Angeles, which is en-
tirely deserved. When it comes to the
statistical portion of this correspond
ence numerous and excusable errors are
Of course encountered. But the one
patent fact is that these gentlemen ac-
knowledge, with cordial unanimity,
that, in visiting Los Angeles, they had a
momentary glimpse of the modern edi-
ton of the Garden of Eden. Their gen.
erous testimony is all the more valuable
from the fact that they received abso-
lutely no public courtesies at the hands
of our people-a fact which we keenly
regret. 1t would not have hurt our nu-
merous capitalists in the least if they
had opened their purse-strings and ten
dered some little attention to these ac-
complished visitors, who, as respects
the pen, show more activity than the
Briaraan hands of the fable of old
could have done. When they ar
rived at San Francisco they were
dined and wined and treated to
all the galore developments possible
in the metropolis of the Pacific Coast.
Nevertheless, their splendid tribute to
Los Angeles is enhanced by the niggard-
liness of our people. 1t is an unbought
tribute, wrung from them by the beauty
and prodigal outpour of our section.
The truth is that the biggest "boom"
ever recorded in the variable history of
Los Angeles county is ahead for us just
now. The HERALD, even in the dark
days of 1877, never tired in reiterating
the fact that, in very few years. tre-
mendous revival was ahead for this, the
most charming section on the American
continent, perhaps in the world. We
have never hesitated to declare that an
acre of vineyard in Los Angeles county
would yet be worth from $500 to $1,000.
We can now, under the changed condi-
tions, return to our original sanguine
programme, with the certainty that, be-
fore five years have passed, what was
once regarded as vaporing is the mere
prosaic reality. As to our orange groves,
the prospect is even more encouraging,
and it would be difficult to place limit
tothe possibilities of profit which at
tach TO them.
Certes, the most tremendous ''boom"
ever recorded on the Pacific Coast is just
ahead for Los Angeles. Our people
should get ready for it.

Concert OF Action Needed.

When regard is had to the fact that
the Pacific Coast States have, since lS49,
poured fully one thousand five hundred
millions of minted gold and silver dollars
into the arteries of American commerce
"a statement established by reliable
statistics-the wonder is that so little
consideration is shown by the Congress
of the United States to this Coast
When, in addition to this for
midable exhibit, the truth is borne
in mind that fully half of that
sum meandered in the same direc-
tion, from sources which could not be
made the subject of statistics, the obli-
CATION is still further enhanced. 1t would
be hard to overestimate the Importance
of this treasure output to the material
development of the United States. But
for it the country would still have been
comparatively rustic, perhaps to the de-
cided benefit of its morals, but certainly
not of its material status. When it is
borne in mind that the sum total of the
precious metals at present in the United
States is very little more than third OF
that which was contributed by the two
States of California and Nevada, how
pitiable would have been the plight of
the treasury and people but for the
prodigal output of the Pacific Coast!
Yet, when it comes to appropriating
money for improvements in California
and Oregon, or any of the other States
of the Pacific divide" how tightly
Congress draws the national purse
strings? Although we have only one
harbor ON this side of the continent, to
two dozen in the same extent OF terri
tory on the other, appropriations for
this Coast are exceedingly hard to be OBJ
tanned, and, when granted, they are
doled out in such pitiful sums as to in
suit rather than benefit our people
There should be an end to this state ct
things. Appropriations somewhat CON-
mensurate with our needs, and responsive
in their amounts to the benefits con-
ferred on the United States by Cali
fornia and the other Pacific States,
ought to be accorded to this
Coast. But for the liberal coin
outpour of this section the United
States would to-day be bankrupt. In
stead of having surplus Of the precious
metals, as at present, we should be
more than thousand million
dollars worse off than nothing. We
need improved harbors, Notifications
and eligible public buildings all over this
Coast. If there had been, in the past,
a hearty concert of action amongst orr
Pacific Coast representatives, we should
have had all that is our due. There
ought to be such concert in the future.
Admirable and painstaking as Senator
Farley has been in this regard, one man
can't do everything. Henceforth the
Pacific Coast members of Congress
ought to present united front when it
comes to appropriations needed to de-
velop this Coast. Only by standing to-
gether can they hope to succeed. "a
house divided against itself cannot
stand;" and unanimity of action is the
sine qua non to getting the just dues OF
this section in Congressional marble
halls.

A MiscOnceptiOn.

One of our late Texas visitors, who
wrote to his paper in terms of unmeas-
ured commentator of the orange groves
and vineyards of Los Angeles county,
winds up his narrative with the caution
that all these poetical and remunerative
coignes of vantage have already been
taken up. This is great mistake. Per-
haps one of the most interesting circum-
stances about the history of development
in Los Angeles and San Bernardine coun-
ties is the fact that, according to the Of
fetal report of Mr.. L. j. Rose, one of
the Viticultural Commissioners of the
State of California, the sum of one mil
lion dollars was realized from vineyards
in the two counties named which only
comprised 57l6 acres. This was gross
return of nearly $500 to the acre, the
expense of cultivating these vineyards,
nearly all of which are located in Los
Angeles county, being only about fifteen
dollars an acre. 1t is no exaggeration
to say that, in Los Angeles county alone,
thers are half a million acres adapted to
the cultivation of the grape, and at least
one hundred thousand acres which would
return heavy profits if planted in the
citrus fruits. Our Texas visitors fell into
another error, as respects Los Angeles,
which ought to be corrected, viz, they
write that irrigation is the basis of all
the wonders of vegetation they saw here
That statement is fearfully wide of the
mark. There are many vineyards in Los
Angeles county which are yielding plen
tifully without a particle of irrigation,
and the most intelligent judgment is that
no irrigation is needed. The superb
new vineyard, of six hundred acres,
which Mr.. L. J. Rose has lately set out
on his Sunny Slope property, is in a
splendid state of growth, and that with
out any irrigation whatever. Even as to
our orange groves, they are really irri
gated far too much. The late Col. B.
ID. Wilson has often said to the writer
that eighty gallons of water to the tree
yearly are ample for the citrus
fruits. The area of Los Angeles coun-
ty is slightly in excess of three mil
lion two hundred thousand acres
If we had chosen to be extravagant, we
could easily, and perhaps truthfully,
have doubled the conservative estimate
which we have given above as to the
area adapted to the cultivation of our
most profitable specialties. But we pre-
fer to be on the safe side; and when we
say that, within ten years, Los Angeles
county will produce ten million dollars
worth Of wines, brandies, and the citrus
fruits, annually, we are within, rather
than overshooting, the mark. Of course,
it requires some degree of local knowl-
edge to enable our readers to see how
absolutely temperate our statements are.
The possibilities ahead are really daz-
zing, and the energy and capital are at
hand to make their utilization a matter
of the next half decade.

The ancient inhabitants of India
were remarkably advanced in the art of
iron working. The famous iron pillar at
Kutab, near Delhi, indicates a skill in
the manipulation of large mass of
wrought iron which could hardly be sur
passed by modern foundries. The pill
lar is twenty-three feet eight inches in
length, with circumference of about
fifty feet at the base, tapering to about
four feet just below its capital. Its total
weight is over six tons. 1t is supposed
to date from the year. 400 Of our era. and,
if so, has stood exposed to the wind and
weather for nearly fifteen centuries with
out showing signs of rust-an enduring
monument to the skill of the old Indian
iron workers.

Mr.. Charles Linden, of the Buffalo
Society of Natural Sciences, has pub
lished paper on the domestication of
our wild ducks. He found that the only
kinds which made themselves at home
in the barnyard were the mallard, dusky
duck and the Canada goose, "the prog
eny of which prospered and attained a
greater weight and size than the ordi-
nary domesticated stock. Some OF them
are still living and betray in many in
stances a tendency to revert in point Of
plumage to their original condition,
while the majority have become quite
metamorphosed into ordinary barnyard
fowl" These ducks were taken when
very young or raised from eggs.

laborers and the Mexicans. A few
evenings ago a number of Mexicans,
with their families, encamped near lgo's
ranch and the American laborers being
drunk, an attempt was made on the
Mexicans to give up their women. This
was refused and shooting and cutting
began. When the smoke of battle
cleared off seven Mexicans were found
dead and several wounded. A number
of Americans were also wounded, and it
is expected that three will die.
