Something in 1t.

The inhabitants of Edward County,
H., do not support any temperance
lecturers or spend their time talking
temperance. They decided twenty
FIVE years ago that no liquor should
be sold in the county, and since that
time they have sent but one person to
the penilentiary, and be committed a
crime while drunk with whisky pro.
cured in an adjoining county they
support but two or three paupers, and
their Jail is empty most OF the time.
Their taxes are hirty-tiro per cent
loo0er than He adjoining counties, and
their term OF Court occupies three days
in the year, while their tax rolls show
that they return more property than
sny other county in the State Of equal
population. This is case where the
minority cannot complain of any in
vasion of private right, for the people
are unanimously opposed to license
under any circumstances. Families
seek the locality as a good place to
bring up their children. When con-
fspnted by the statistics of this model
county, even old topers admit that
there is something in it ; but it evi-
IDENTIFY is not whisky

Another GuSher at Bald Ridge.

When the drill oft the Forest Oil Co.'s well
on the SIX acre lease had penetrated the white
sand four feet last Friday evening, the well
commenced to flow at the rate of about 500
barrels per day. 1t filled a 250 barrel tank
during the night. Drilling was discontinued
the boiler was removed to a safe distance and
more tanks are being erected The we'll is pro-
vided with an coil saver" and after the tanks
completed. drilling will be continued until
the sand is pierced. There is no telling, as
yet what the production may belt may pro-
duce thousand barrels for the first few dayg
and then settle down to a 100 or 200 barrel
pumper. This well was drilled dry, no water
having been struck bel the casing. 1t is
located on the six acre piece that was patented
by George Pillow and Nathan Slater. These
men leased to Smcox & Myers, who leased to
the Forest Oil Co. From all appearances this
is the best well yet struck in that section.

In the columns of an esteemed mora
ing contemporary occasionally appear
gleeful remarks about the HERALD as o
weather prophet. That line of business
is only saved from being our weak poin.
by being our really very strong point.
We take great pleasure in announcing to
the people of Los Angeles that the pres
ent winter will be characterized by early
and abundant rains. We never talk
fiippantly on this topic. II is our spo-
cialty We have minpdum figure as to
the rainfall of this y ear on which We are
prepared to stake from one hundred to
five hundred dollars, at the pleasure OF
all contestants. That minimum figure
is sixteen inches. We would suggest to
our contemporary the old sporting form
ula of put up or shut up" as applicable
to the occasion. There are some skept.
ical people, generally new comers, who
do not recognize the HERALp's pre-em-
inence as weather prophet. To these

The press at large is at last beginning
to awake 10 the transccndant importance
of the San Fernando oil region. A pro.

ergy and business aptitudes of the
Messrs. Scofeld 4 Tovis and Hon. G. N.
FELTON,, which is already the second
great oil field in the world, and which is
in its infancy, at that. The Chronicle,

already accomplished in our local oil
field, but II did its best TO smother up

attract the vigilant opposition of the

ly and gracefully, as woman feeling
thoroughly one side of a question would
be apt to write. Under a strong pre-
possession our correspondent has failed
perhaps naturally--to do justice to the
position of the HERALD. This journal
sympathizes with the most pronounced

II wishes most heartily that the gross
and repulsive aspects of life would dis.
appear at once, But, the fact remains,
that they do not disappear. Individu-
ally, we would rather that our right
hand should lose its cunning and our
tongue should cleave unto the roof of
our mouth than that any word of ours,
published in newspaper, or uttered
personally. should add to the sum total
of existing vice. But we recognize the
fact that vice exists, will exist and can

overlooks the fact that we put our adj
vocaey of licensed gambling on the eground
that thereby minors would be alb
solutely and inexorably excluded from
these fascinating games. We particular

gamblers file abond of 80, 900 conditioned
on their excluding minors and keeping
an orderly place; and we dwelt upon
the fact that, as the case stands now,
minors are admitted to the games which
have existed in i1os Angeles ever since our
residence in this city. Our final. and as
we think, entirely logical proposition
was, that gambling. being an incident of
our daily life, which involved police su.
pervision, should be made to support
our municipal conservers OF the peace.

OHg of the disagreeable incidents OF
tho opening OF the Northern Pacific Rail
way was the number Of British snobs
who managed TO ring in tholr offensive
personalities at every stage OF the cere-
monials. Perhaps the most offensive OF
all these manifestations was that which
was witnessed at the dinner given to
Willard at Victoria, British Columbia,
in which ono Smith, who spells his name
with y, intimated that the American
union of Statos could not hold out; and
that, in the general disintegration, the
Pacific Coast States would gravitate to
the Canadian Dominion. The kilograms
say that these utterances were received
with marked disfavor by the citizens OF
the United States present, and that a
marked population of the clownish
outgiving was only prevented by the
fact that the aforesaid Smith with a y
was a guest Of Willard. The truth Is that
tho time has como for a revival of gem
uine American sentiment in this country,
unless the emasculated dudes who figure
In New York and Boston are to be
accepted as the type of American citi.
zenship. Never in its history was the
United States either more homogeneous
or more formidable than now. Fortu-
nately the British possessions on this
continent are not worth taking,
or Mr.. Smith with q y would
shortly witness events which would
shock his patriotism. II was away
back under the administration of Polk,
when the population of this country
was scarcely third of what II is now,

The more the current number Of the
ILLUSTRATED HERALD is examined tho
more clearly is apparent the good 1t will
do for this section. Fortunately Its
matter is consecutive. Starting out, in
May, 1881, with prediction of what
could be accomplished in this section,
the editions of 1882 and 1883 show the
accomplishment OF these predictions. In
the first edition the population of tho
city of Los Angeles only REACHED eleven
Thousand aud fraction of inhabitants.
In the third edition we are enabled to
announce population of probably twen-
ty-iive thousand, and to present tables
of real estate valuations which show
sales of property, in this city and coun-
ty, amounting to eleven million dollars,
in the short period of eighteen months.
II pleases us to know that the present
edition OF the ILLUSTRATED HERALD, like
its previous editions, is going to the four
corners of the world. Speed the good
work
