EDITOR HERALD wish, through the col
umns OF your widely circulated paper, to
call attention to swindling scheme, of
which was one of the victims. About a
month ago a Young man, representing him
self as belonging 10 the house Of Bmcroft &
Co., san Francisco, Tiled on me, aud after
considerable persuasion, induced me To
place clrd in publication which he said
Bancroft was getting up, called the Los An.
geles Gazetteer" II was TO contain maps.
pictures and information concerning South
ern California. | was to have'H copy, and
10000 were to be circulated in Southern G ali.
fornia, Arizona, New Mexico. etc. FOrall of
these immense advantages /. like fool paid
him $50 in advance, and II Is scarcely nee.
esSry to say that since then have seen
nothing of my smoothtalkng young man or
the books, which were to have been deliV.
cred two weeks ago For myself feel that
the money paid has not been wasted, for
have learned once for all to have nothing 10
do with these glib.talkiug advertising agents
from the north and East who are continual
ly preying upon our business men. Not
only do they charge four or five times as
much for the same service ns is rendered by
our home papers, but they invariably want
their pay In advance, which shows they can,
not trust us MS well rs our home papers
Many, from modification at the fact that
they have been gulled say nothing Of their
losses, but believe that the best way Is TO
publish the facts and thus warn others of
the danger Of being too cOnfiding. During
The past week have been called upon by
three fellows, each Of whom wanted from 81
to $40 In advance for cards, hotel guides, etc,
but have politely shown them all the door.
By publishing these facts you may do ser
vice not only to the public here but else
where. J.F.H

EDITOR HERALD: From all accounts the
Worlds Fair which opens ut New Orleans on
December LIST, 1854, promises to be one Of the
grandest expeditions which has ever taken
place. The building Is to cover thirty three
acres of ground. The plan was ON exhibition
NJ the late Fair In Los Angeles city. The
sums of money which have been appropri-
ated by the different States and countries
have been on the most magnificent scale,
and without doubt the Crescent City will
be visited from all parts of the civilized
globe. This will afford an Unprecedented
opportunity to the people OF this State to
demonstrate to the world what California Is
capable OF. The S. +. r., Co generously of
fers to transport everything to and from free
Of charge, thus making II possible for every
industry to be represented. BY this offer the
Railroad Company does its part nobly, and
now II remains with the producers to do
theirs.
In order to have each of the various indus
tries well represented at this great EXPOSE
ton, some one should be sent to represent
each industry, also to superintend and ar
range said department. For instance, the
honey department: suppose the bee keepers
of Los Angeles county select some one from
among their number to go to New orleans to
superintend and properly arrange the apicul
tural exhibit, and then II might be well II
the beekeepcrs Of this county would make
their exhibit Jointly, and should this county
take the premium Il could be divided among
those who assisted in making the display
As bee-kecpcrs of the Golden State each and
every one should endenvor to do the utmost
in his power in order that California should
take the first premium at the Worlds Fair
Then Ms Angelehns we have II nearer and
dcarer duty at our own doors. II is well
known that there exists vein of rivalship
between the five southern counties OF Calf
fOrnia as to the honey industry therefore
the Angeleno apiarists must look to their
llurels, But II they bear in mind that in
Union there is strength they can make dis
play to which every apiarian can point with
pride and say, contributed my mite to that
For the purpose of deciding what to do in
regard to the honey exhibit at the Worlds
Fair, the bee keepers will hold a meeting in
Los Angeles city Nov sth at the City Council
rooms, ut II O'Clock A. NJ. II is to the interest
of every bee keeper in the county to be pres
cnt at the meeting. J. L. =.
