IT Is a very pleasant thing-the spon,
tanecus way in which the people Of Los
Angeles have responded to the reduction
10 the price OF the DAILY HERALD. OF
course, we might indulge In expanded
figures, and lie to our hoart's content
sfter newspaper fashion in many in.
stancea--in talking of our circulation;
but, as a matter Of fact, since last Satur-
day, the circulation Of this paper has in
creased three hundred copies, within the
limits of the Pueblo Of Los Angeles. and
the cry is, as In the case Of the beleag-
nored Macbeth in the fortress OF Dunsi-
nane, "still they come" II any adver.
tising patron Of the HERALD doubts our
statement ho Is at perfect liberty to
come up and inspect our order books,
where, day by day, the names and ad-
dresses speak for themselves. Consider
ing the fact that tho HERALD was here
tofore served to the overwhelming
majority Of the people Of Los Angeles,
such an honest, unvarnished statement
OF an increase for n fraction of week
speaks volumes OF the continuous pros.
perity Of the representative journal Of
Southern California.
Daily Los Angeles herald., 1883-09-07

The people Of Los Angeles, even at so
recent date as Eve years ago. had no
confidence whatever in the future of the
San Fernando oil district. Not dollar
OF our local capital could be enlisted in
the work Of developing this source of
really incompatible riches. One of our
most distinguished citizens and heaviest
capitalists said, to gentleman who pro-
! posed to put capital into the venture,
that he had better leave it alone-that
no good could come of it. Through the
pluck and means OF the Hon. C. N. Eel
ton and the Messrs. Scoheld & Tevis,
the disprized oil regions of the Pico
canon, in Los Angeles county, have de-
veloped into money proposition which
promises to supply an aching void when
the Pennsylvania oil regions shall give
out; and which, to the delight of every
one who honors enterprise, will swell
the riches Of already rich Californians to
the Monte Cristo standard The Stand
ard Oil Company, envious of the success
Of Californans in producing an unsur-
passed grade of petroleum in Southern
California, is pursuing its ordinary tao
tics of trying to crush out this most
promising of all our Los Angeles and
California interests-an interest which,
in its ultimate development, will, in our
opinion, dwarf the magical history of the
Argonaut era of California Fortunately,
in the present case. this organization has
run its head against stonewall; and has
encounteredpeople, bent on development,
whom it can't crush-men whose means
are really Commensurate with their
liberal and enterprising ideas. AS an
incident of the tremendous oil develop
ment. which is now under way in Los
Angeles county, we confidently look for
the establishment, at an early day, of oil
re6neries, on a gigantic scale, in Los
Angeles. II is generally assumed that
the high price of fuel win be an obstacle
to the growth Of manufacturing indus.
tries heresbouts. This is great mistake.
A combination of brea, which abounds
here in such great quantities, and wood,
makes an effective fuel which really
places us ahead OF San Francisco in the
eheapness OF our fuel. Waving this
cheap composite fuel, crude petroleum
itself is the cheapest manufacturing
agent on the continent. and with petro.
leum yelling out all over Los Angeles
county, we are masters of the situation.
Cleveland is probably the prettiest and
most prosperous city ON the American
continent. Originally its prosperity was
referable to the Navigation of the Lakes.
