Geography makers are puzzled to
adopt classification for the States Of
the Union according to their position.
The old division of Eastern, Middle,
Southern and Western does not apply
to the present States. 1t would seem
proper plan to call them the Atlantic
States, the Gulf States, the Lake States,
the Central States, the Mountain States
and the Pacific States. These divisions
could be easily remembered
By double column advertisement in
this mornings HERALD Messrs. Hollan-
der Brothers, Roeder Block, No. 2l
South Spring street, announce that they
will throw open their large stock of jew
elry, watches, clocks, silver and plated
ware for the inspection of the citizens of
Los Angeles. These goods have been
selected with care and comprise the lat
est designs in everything in their line Of
business. The Messrs. Hollander Broth
ers extend cordial invitation to every
body to call and inspect their goods.
Mr.. J. C. Harmon, of San Gabriel,
was in the city yesterday. He is one Of
the prominent wheat growers Of that
opulent valley, and will organize a syn
dictate Of wheat growers to sell en- masse
for shipment At present it appears
that buyers will pay large wheat grow
ers 81. so per GENITAL for wheat, aud lesser
growers $l.37 per GENITAL. In order to
correct this the San Gabriel farmers
will all pool their wheat and be ready to
sell in shipload lots at full prices. They
are satisfied that their wheat is better
than that which is selling at 81 so, and
will see hereafter that they obtain full
shipment rates. In union is strength.

The Old. Old story.

Colonel Fred Perris, the Surveyor of
the California Southern Railroad. ar.
rived in the city on Monday, and left
yesterday for San Bernardino, after con-
sulting the maps in the United States
Land office in this city. He has located
the route of the California Southern
through the Cajon Pass on grade
about five hundred feet higher up than
the unfinished tunnel begun by Colonel
j. U. Crawford for the Los Angeles and
Independence Railroad. On this line the
steepest grade is reported at one hun
dred and sixty-iive feet to the mile, with
no tunnel except through small spur
of the mountain that juts across the line.
The line is now surveyed as far as An
telope Station, where the Colonel will
start out on his route to the Needles, to
meet the Atlantic and Pacific. The
Colonel feels sure that the road will be
built, an opinion for which he may have
good evidence, but to people on the
outside ii looks like the same old story
of great expectations that has been
told over and over again for the past
three years, till ii has been worn thread
bare. When the road shall be built we
shall believe the fact.

Brilliant Illumination

1t has been before mentioned in the
HERALD that the two new dynamos had
arrived at the electrical works on Ala
media street, and been placed in position;
also, that the new boiler and pump had
been placedinposition. Thenew engine is
now on the way, and will shortly arrive,
and be placed in working order. Mr..
c. H. Howland informs ussthat he has
orders for about twenty short masts in
front of stores, with prospect OF many
more orders, besides nearly hundred
new store lamps, which, with the car
bons on the various masts, will max e
nearly two hundred electric lights in the
city, and make it by far the best illum-
mated city in the country.
sthought that this brilliantillumina-
tion will cause many other merchants to
place electric lamps in various localities,
so that Mr.. Rowland thinks he will
have to order two more dynamos, max
ing FIVE in all. II this is to be, Los An
geles will be the best lighted city in the
world. The addition lately made to the
electric works will be ample for the re-
ception of the five dynamos, and even a
new engine, making three in all.

LETTERS FROM the PEOPLE.
A Pertinent Complaint-A Remedy
Should be Afforded


EDITOR HERALD: How about the
Los Angeles Post Officer 1t may be all
right according to law, but /, for one,
and in the interest Of hundreds of labor
ing men OF Los Angeles, would enter q
vigorous protest against the way it is
now conducted. True, we are to have
free delivery system on and after Octo-
Der lst, but that will only relieve in
part. For instance, the office opens at
s o'clock in the morning and continues
open for about one-half hour; then it is
closed until almost 10. This, of course,
bars out all laboring men in the morn
ing. In the afternoon the mail arrives
at o'clock, and 1t is usually half-past 6
before the general delivery is open. and
It Is closed promptly at 7, so that the
only chance q man has who is busy
through the day is to get his mail during
this half hour. II he gets there early
and stands in line for half hour or SO,
he will probably get waited upon, but if
he is little late more than likely he will
have the window shut in his face. Now
| have been in good many cities ia the
Eastern, Middle and Northern States,
and never knew Of a post office being
closed at o'clock when the mail was
received in the latter part of the after
noon. The remedy woald be to keep
the general delivery open until half-past
Z. This extra half hour would give the
laboring man chance to get his mail,
and not be disappointed three times out
of five. As | said to start with, this
may be according to law II don't know,
but the Postmaster as a public officer
should have the interest OF the public in
view, and now that his attention is
called to this fact (which he may not
have thought of before), see to it that it
is remedied. Respectfully.

Our Bridges.

The two new bridges across the Los
Angeles river at Also and First streets
are the most substantial in the city, with
the exception Of the old covered bridge,
which is and viii be nuisance until the
cover is removed. The new bridges are
well built and slightly arched in the
center. An inspection shows that they
are literally patronized, by not only An
gelehos but denizens Of the rural dis
tricts, who have been accustomed for
merly to wallow through the river sand
at these points. The old covered bridge
at the Old Also road. was built about
eleven years since, followed by the
bridge at the crossing OF Downey ave-
nue., six years since, which has also
been well patronized by residents Of
East Los Angeles. San Fernando, Pas
adsna, Proyidencia, and other places of
Importance. But the two new bridges
are constructed in modern style, and are
very popular. as is evidenced by the i'm
mense patronage granted them so soon
after their completion.

Pinacate Coal.

|. d. Hall has been visiting Pinacate
and the Laguna ranch, and gives his
opinion Of the quality of coal found at
the former place. He made several tests
in working steel and found it perfectly
satisfactory. For fuel it is unexcelled,
and is generally used for that purpose.
He is confident that as the shaft is sunk
deeper good quality of blacksmith coal
will be found. Quite a settlement is
springing up at the Laguna, and it is the
intention of the owners to shortly sub
divide it and sell off the whole ranch. =
