officer for the "a hours ending at 8:l5

two inches more have fallen, which
would bring the rainfall for the season
up to 1914 inches, or within .33 of as
much as the entire rainfall Of last season.

ANTELOPE. Jan. 30, 1884.

ANTELOPE, Jan. 30, 1884.
Editor Of the Herald DEAR SIR:
Since our last to you Antelope has been
blessed with one Of the heaviest rain
storms that we have witnessed in Los
Angeles county for number of years.
Saturday, the 26th inst, we had a strong
south wind, and about IL o'clock P. NJ.
the rain commenced falling and con-
tinued without scarce q minutes cessa-
tion until about 8 o'clock Sunday even
ing. 1t was then showery throughout
the night, aud Monday it raineA nearly
all day. Tuesday was showery and to.
day it is beautiful, warm and calm, and
seems as though you can almost see the
grass and grain shoot up. This country
is looking beautiful now; green and smil-
ing, while the hills which bound it on
the west, north and south are covered
with snow Of so dazzling q whiteness as
to become almost painful to the eye, and
reminds one OF sleigh bells and buffalo
robes. The farmers will now continue
planting their crops with renewed en-
ergy, since the rainfall has been amply
sufficient, with light shower or two,
to insure good crop. There have been
three new houses built since my last, and
it is rapidly beginning to assume the
look of an agricultural country, while
land is steadily increasing in value. and
it is safe to predict that laud which two
months or less ago could be had at the
government price Of $3.50 per acre, will
not be attainable in two months hence
dt less than $25 per acre.
Respectfully.

Jim Jenifer, son Of Major Jenifer, was

ing. the wind seemed to be in the north.
Jim's father has been our oracle on rain,
etc., but we are q little shaken on the
outfit just at this time.
1t seems little peculiar that Gov. B.

Twenty-four O'Clock.

The announcement frequently made in
the HERALD in the matter Of having our
cocks changed from IL hours to "a hours
is being fortified by practical applica-
tion Of the principle. At Wilmington,
Delaware, some railway companies have
ordered the construction Of clocks on
the "a hour principle. The figures will
be in Arabic instead of Roman, and the
minute hand mark half minutes as well
a minutes. 1t will 60 round twenty
four times while the hour hand goes
round once.
One SPECIAL advantage to be gained by
the railways will be the abolition Of the
letters A. NJ. and P. M, because there
will be no morning and evening, but Just
a day, with the time divided into "a
parts and all parts of the day harnessed
together, as is recorded in Genesis ''the
evening and the morn ing were the first
day"
When the great lines of railway come
to adopt this method Of expressing time
in all their depots the system will be
popular all over the land.
1t is slow movement to accomplish
such a sweeping revolution, but it will
surely be done before many years. The
railways that reach from the Atlantic to
the Pacific can set this ball in motion
and make the movement q success. It
is one Of those things that will come to
pass in the progress of the race, and
there never was so favorable time as
the present to carry out this most i'm
portant movement.
The original clocks for keeping the
hours Of the day were graded to twenty
four hours and have remained 80 in
Venice to the present day. The intro
duction Of the half day dial, and the
morning, noon and afternoon records is
hidden in obscurity, but its invention is
creditable to nobody. We shall soon
see the twenty-four o'clock dials on the
streets Of Los Angeles, and in the town
clocks of all our cities.

Building Boom for 1893 in Los An
geles.

San Francisco last year invested
s., ,26l $50 in new buildings. The statis-
tics for four years show total expend-
iture of sl4,703,06 What other Amer
lean city of its population can make so
good showings-S. r. Examiner.
Los Angeles can beat it bad. With a
population Of twenty thousand year
ago, and an increase of ten thousand in
the twelve months, we have beaten San
Francisco in the proportion of new
buildings erected. Let us see. On the four
blocks cornering on Firt and Main and
Spring and First streets, we have an ex-
penditure as follows:. Nadeau. $500, 900;
Bernard, sl25. 900; DR.. widney, $50, 600;
Covarrubias & Forster, $4,000; Schu-
macher, ss5. 900; Bryson, 1926. 900; Childs

900; Adam, $1,000; Ponet & Bumiller,
$40. 1000; Moore & Maxwell, s2S, 1000;
making total of s72l, 900 In addition
to this the Rose building on Main street,
$4,000; Improvement in Supreme Court
building, $4,000; DR.. Bush, S25, 900;
Newmark. $50, 1000; Smith & Haffner,
s35, 600; Rees L Wirsching, $50, 900; Nc
Laughlin. s25, 600, and the valla $40. 900,
on Los Angeles street; the new buildings
on Commercial and Alameda streets
S25, 900 more, making grand total of
$l,073,000 Of brick business buildings
in eight blocks, besides as much more
expended by the Improvements at the
new depot and sixteen hundred DWELL
ings, stables, cottages, wineries, ware
honses, factories, churches, colleges,
electric light works and other improve
ments too numerous to embrace in this
item.
Although the building boom was great
here for the last twelve months, desira-
bic store rooms are yet very scarce and
bring big rents. The coming season will
more than quadruplc the number and
cost of new and substantial buildings.
If San Francisco keeps pace with this
city in proportion to her population she
will double in size the next three years.
Adjust the chip on your shoulder again
Mr.. Examiner and we will 90 for it,

An opportune Moment.


The Board Of Supervisors will meet in
regular Monthly Session on Monday
next, and cannot do better deed than
to direct all road overseers to g, to work
at once and improve ihs public gh-
ways. All county roads shonld be
marked out by furrows and turnpiked,
and the side burrows planted with trees
under the laws Of the Site that entities
the land owner to dollar apiece for
thrifty shade trees planted and cared for
for four years along thu sides of his
county road. The ground is now soft,
and the old paths, now crooked and full
Of holes, should be plowed up while they
can be easily broken. Only after a
great rain can such work be done. Now
is the time to do it. Let the work be
done as soon as possible. Give US better
road to Pasadena, San Fernando, San
ia Monica. Wilmington. Ana helm,
and San Gabriel. Our highways are a
disgrace to the country. In the name of
justice. beauty. comfort and the best in
terests of the people. we ask the Board
Of Supervisors to go to work and give
our people and the strangers within
their gates, long. straight, smooth. shady
streets. The Board will bear in mind
that there is not one such road in Los
Angeles county, and yet we have been
boasting of our wonderful civilization in
this county for over thirty-three years.
1t is about time to do something as it
should be done, in the way Of making
roads. 1t is said that "the law is in the
way. and the road districts have no
money" II the law is in the way, re-
peal it, or serve it as other unjust and
odious laws have been treated. When
the rights Of the people are crippled by
an odious law II has heretofore been the
custom in California to take the win of
the people as substitute for the law,
and go ahead on that proposition. If
there is a will there will be way to
make the roads and pay for them.

The Use Of oroakers.

A few weeks ago the HERALD an
nounced that tract Of land had been
secured on the Mojave river. in San
BernArdino county, for the establish-
ment Of German colony, after the ex-
cellent plan Of Anaheim. But to-day
we learn from the San Bernardino Ia
dex that the colony has been frightened
out Of the project by croakes, who
prated day and night to the agent about
the dry location and . dry season. By
this infamous piece Of nonsense the
county Of San Bsrnardino will lose the
opportunity Of gaining million dollan
Of taxable property. The same thing

wasch the River Bank.

The great rain has set the mountain
streams into wild and robust condition.
The Arroyo Seco, which was broad bed
Of dry sand only week ago. is now q
rushing river, carrying large rocks from
their places and shifting the channel so
that fording with team was danger Gus
yesterday, and may be impossible to-
day. This wild, raging, roaring torrent
is bringing vast amount of sand and
gravel ints the bed Of the Los Angeles
river, and attention should now be paid
to the west bank Of the stream from the
mouth Of the Arroyo Seco to the First
street bridge. Should any trees or tree
roots collect against any of the FIVE
bridges, an overflow would soon follow;
and an overflow in our sandy soil means
great damage aud destruction 10 vine
yards and orchards. A patrol should be
established to see that there shall be no
distractions allowed to rest against the
piles Of the Los Angeles river bridges
during this freshet.
1t may be supposed that because we
have had but about 10 inches Of rain in
the city this season there is no fear Of
high water, but such persons should
know that the rainfall Of the city has
very little to do with the river. The
local rain goes off in the zanias, cutters
and sewers. into the sandy land south
and southwest Of the city. 1t is the
water from the mountains and highlands
north Of the city that makes our fresh
cts, and in that locality there has al
ready fallen for the season more than Is
inches Of water. That part Of the coun-
try is the dangerous locality for us. 1t
Is the water, the rocks and. trees and
gravel Of the Pacoims, the Tujungas
aud the Arroyo Seco that make our river
bed hard road to travel. We cannot
be too careful in guarding against this
dangerous element. In . few years there
will be artificial lakes made between our
hills to store these mountain streams,
but now they come down unused and
uncontrolled and will need watching.
Before this Jain the uplands were
capable Of absorbing a vast amount Of
water, but their power Of absorption ap-
pears to have been overcome and the
surplus is finding an outlet in the Los
Angeles river. Let us not be caught
mapping.
