The Editor of the HERALD has been
over fully three.fourths OF Los Angeles
county, and he is now prepared to speak
inteligently Of the actual status OF the
crops. While IL would be absurd to
maintain that this ia such year as 1880,
the fact must also be borne in mind that
an immensely greater area has been sown
to the cereals than was sown then. As
q result, we shall have, this year, more
grain and hay than was ever heretofore
chronicled in our history as the output
Of our teeming fields. There is just one
narrow strip Of territory which has SUI
fered irrecoverably as respects unS1
irp.x~ud-rnIn; from the biustfng
effects Of the late west wind, viz, that
between Compton and Wilmington and
extending down through Downey, Nor
walk and into the Gospel Swamp. 1t is
highly unfortunate that we have encoun-
tered this visitation, but the fact must
be borne in mind that, in this section,
there is much irrigated land which will
be prolific in crops. As to the rest Of
the county, the outcome will BIO far
greater than last year, which was ac-
counted to be highly prosperous. While
II is not possible to make an estimate
rs yet Of the yield Of grain in this
county, we can venture on a minimum
effort In that line. Taking Newhall,
San Fernando. the Cabuenga, the
country between Los Angeles and Santa
Monica, the verdugo. the Spadra and
Pomona valleys, the Monte, Savannah,
and tho hundred and one moist farms OF
this county, alike independent OF the
rainfall and Of irrigation, we believe
that we shall have fully one million two
hundred thousand bushels OF grain from
unirrigated lands. The weather is such
as most surely indicates that this esti-
mate will be increased by from three to
four hundred thousand bushels. In adj
dition, il the unirrigated wheat and
barley had failed, to the last blade of
hay and to the last kernel of wheat, the
ample expanse of irrigated lands would
have been quite sufficient to feed our
own people. We should not have been
obliged to import a single sack of wheat
or barley.
This is the plain statement OF the local
situation, without particle of exagger-
alton. Los Angeles county will this
year produce, between hor irrigated and
unirrigated lands, fully two millions of
bushels of wheat and barley, and this in
the third of what have been unquestion.
ably three dry years. What it will do
in flush seasons we decline even to at
tempt to outline. This year this county,
whose speoialties have heretofore been
semi tropical fruits and wines and bran
dies and corn, will yield at least six per
cent. of all the grain raised by the fifty
two counties of California. This is
most significant circumstance, when the
fact is borne in mind that, few years
ago. Los Angeles was graded as COW
county.

ct must BIO slowly working into the
minds Of the Angelenos, says the HER
AID, "that their own Orange Grove City
Is rapidly becoming the most noted
point in the United States" Every
day witnesses the development OF a
more robust self.conceit on the part OF
these people. A few years ago they
were content TO boast that Los Angeles
was the most important place on the
Coast, and now they take in the whole
country in their claim. Ala, May l2th.
Our esteemed contemporary is not
happy in its selection Of phrases. What
it calls concet is simply just and real
ly modest appreciation of the facts as
they exist. The editor Of the Attn
ought to shake himself loose from the
San Francisco Sleepy Hollow, come
down here and delight his Rip Van
Wrinkle eyes by seeing what real life
and development are. He would then
show a nicer knack Of words in referring
to the coming metropolis.

An Example to be Initiated.

During our recent trip to the San Fer
nando Valley we encountered an espe-
rience viii. h ought to have a good effect
upon our Board of Supervisors, and is
calculated to encourage those who are
to build homes in our mountain hooks
and canons. Thinking that we had had
enough of wheat and grain. Gen. AL.
Workman, when we reached the old
= stage road through the Santa susanna
Pass, told us that he proposed to treat
us to sight of the mountain home OF
Mr.. M. G. Johnson, a'Dane, at one time
connected, las n teamster, with the San Fer
nando company. Mr.. johnson has es-
tablished himself at the foot of the high
est peaks of the San Fernando noun
tains. He is nineteen hundred feet
higher than the plain, and his home is
reached by roadway whose eonstruc-
ton is, of its kind, as great miracle as
was the transportation, by Hannibal and
Napoleon, of their armies over the Alps
into the plains of Lombardy. Thisman
and his sons-both youngsters-have
created roadways which represent more
real labor than all the Boards of Super
visors of Los Angeles county have put
on all the roads OF this opulent county
during the past ten years. We know
what we are talking about, because we
have been over them. Our ascent, in a
driving rain, recalled to our recollection
the refrain of the old song, up in a
balloon, boys, up and up and up" Truly,
it was an uphill operation. But at last
our labors were rewarded; and, right at
the foot of one of the highest peaks Of
the San Fernando mountains, charm
ing scene burst upon our vision. oh
this elevated coigne of vantage MIR. John-
son has created a really ideal mountain
home-a thing as perfect OF its
kind as Mr.. l.. j. Roses Sun
ny Slope or Mr.. Coggswells Sierra
Madre villa. Mr.. johnson has not
like those gentlemen, spent hundreds
of thousands of dollars upon his place;
but both of them, were they to visit
this poetical mountain eyrie, would
cheerfully admit that this energetic
Dane, considering the difficulties he
had to encounter, and the means at his
disposal has accomplished greater re-
suits than they. He has located one
hundred and sixty acres of government
land, seventy Of which he has already
put into grain and orchard. He has a
positively elegant home, hundred
stand of bees, and appointments which
are simply perfection, and whose ex-
istence demonstrates him to be possessed
of a high order of mechanical ingenuity.
Year by year he will 80 on subiugating
the chapparal until nearly his whole
hundred and sixty acres will be under a
really elaborate state of cultivation.
With a sublime knack of labor, in his
search for water, he simply tunneied
into the mountains side, through the
solid granite, being rewarded as richly
as was the rod of Aaron, by stream
which runs fully fifteen thousand gall
Ions day. He has another stream OF
similar volume. He has constructed
Daily Los Angeles herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1876-1884, 1883-05-17

reservoirs, which he has stocked with
carp. This indomitable horticultural
sells his fruit aud garden truck to the
farmers Of the valley, and Is as prosper
Gus as he is independent, He has
accomplished simply wonderful things,
aud we avow for him an admiration
which we experience for no other man
in Los Angeles county. Other men,
have shown what can be done in the
loot hills. johnson, by creating per.
feet Paradise on tho mountains summit,
has opened new possibilities TO the
settler In this section.

said another Indiana Democrat, who ad-

"There is Colonel /. =. Gray, of Union City,"
he continued, "who will be prominent
for the race. Colonel Gray, you know, is
one Of the best men in the State-a gentle
man with big brain, a spotless political
and personal record, fine lawyer, an
orator and statesman, and one of the most
popular Democrats in the State. He is
very strong. Then there is Senator
Bob Bell, of Fort Wayne. The
Democrats of northeastern Indiana will be
solid for Bob, while all along the central
part of eastern Indiana, and about Indian
apolis he will get heavy support. He is
splendid lawyer, statesmen and politi-
clan, quite popular, and would be strong
candidate"
But Bob's racket with Jason Brown
will probably keep him out of the race,
will IL not ?" inquired the Critic.
"Well, he may have become disgustod

Bob Bell could not be scared of the track

question of whether or not he wants to
enter politics and quit his very lucrative
