chased power press, and in Its next
issue. which will be published to-day.
promises an eight.page sheet, with forty
eight columns Of type. As this paper is
little over three years of age, and has
prospered SO well, it shows that San
Luis Obispo county ia following the
heels Of Les Angeles county in material
prosperity. Both counties are wonder
fully rich in resources, except that our
county is more versatile in products than
our neighbor.

It is rumored that the thriving little
settlement of Santa Paula, Ventura
county, is about to have the honor Of a
weekly newspaper issued there. Mr..
$. Clevenger, at present editor Of the
Santa Maria Times, Santa Barbara
county, Is stated to be the protector,
and that the new paper will soon appear.
Mr.. Clevenger will then have 'two
papers, both weekly" a slight change
from the manner of Forney. He is SAID
to be an experienced newspaper man.
From January LIST, 1888, the sun was
''slow" until February Sd, when it
reached the maximum, and was less and
less until April 18th. when 1t became
fast" the height Of which was reached
on May 23d. It was .'slow" again on
June 10th, and continued SO until Sep
tember LIST, when the usual change took
place. The sun will be "slow" again on
December 25th, Christmas day complet-
ing the cycle OF changes for the year,
making five vagaries of Old Sol during
the year. The fastest is sixteen minutes,
and the slowest, six pinuees.
Another industry has been commenced
in California. at Eureka, Humboldt
county, being the manufacture of breeoh-
loading rifles and shotguns. The ma
chinery is already in position. At that
locality wood is cheap and iron is dear.
In Southern California we have many
rich iron mines, the product Of which
should be worked up here, with our
splendid and cheap petroleum fuel,
which is as cheap as Humboldt wood.
Give us a gun. iron factory or rolling
mills, or all. They would pay.
We are indebted for complimentary
tickets to the organ recital and concert
to be given at the Fortstreet NJ e.
Church this evening for the benefit of
Asbury M. E. Church. The programme
is well selected and will be rendered by
our best home amateurs, assisted by sew
eral ladies and gentlemen from Chicago
and other Eastern cities, who rank high
as musicians. We would advise all who
wish to enjoy the entertainment to Sc
cure reserved seats at Day & Browns
music store, opposite the Postofice.
Among the many benevolent societies
about to be organized in Los Angeles is
one for sending tracts and other pious
documents to the hard-worked officers
Of the American Army. According to
the roster of Gen. Sheridan there are
now %, 1856 enlisted men and only 2243
officers. So these poor overworked Off
GERS are obliged to command ten and
four-tenths soldiers apiece. Their labors
are so arduous that they need comfort
and consolation, and SO a committed. has
been selected, composed of the publish
ers of papers, for the poor and op-
pressed, and they will supply spiritual
comfort for these poor officers.
Mr.. A. McDermont, Of Orange' horpe,
hes been quite seriously i'll with bronchi-
tis and pneumonia. We learn from DR..
Gardiner. his physician, that while Mr..
McDermont was in Los Angeles on bust
ness he was subpmnaed on jury, and
that at night the jury were transferred
from the warm courtroom to small, i'll
smelling cold room, where they passed
the night, with the result that he con-
traoted cold, which has developed into
very serious illness. The outrageous
treatment of Jurors. Of whish complaint
has been made heretofore, is probably
due in great degree to the inconven.
iences inseparabls from the bsassly barn
used as Court House; but it does seem
possible that some of these inconvsn-
fences might be mitigated if the proper
officials could be prodded into a sense of
their duty in the premises. s.--Anuheim
