THE BIG LOTTERY PRIZE.


sEayw Fortunes Fell 30 Catifor-
maane In the Last Drawing Of
The louisiana Lottery.
! Jacob Marzolf is jovial German, who
came to California in the early days, and
finally settled down as proprietor Of a
little saloon at Blacks Station, yolo
county. For ten years ''Jake's Saloon
has been we'll known resort there.
About a year ago C. G. Hcwx, who
spent most Of his time prospecting in
the neighboring hills, although with
little success, suggested to Jake that
they might ''strike 1t rich" by investing
in The Louisiana State Lottery. On
January |, 1855, the two started in to-
gether to buy five 81 tickets every
month for one year. They were lucky
in the first drawing, and continued win
ming small prizes amounting to over
$500. Just before the last drawing
they decided to quit buying tick
cts altogether when the year was
over. Howx went into the hills, Jake
tended his saloon, and neither dreamed
of the good fortune in store for them.
When the news came over the wires
that some one at Blacks Station had
drawn one.tenth of the capital prize,
$3.50, 600, the little town was excited
with curiosity as to who was the lucky
man. Jake went down into his well
worn pooket-book, and was oyerjoyed
on seeing that one Of the tickets which
it contained was number 80, 255. His
partner was Immediately notified Of the
bonanza they had struck. He returned
to town, and when the money was col
lected soon after, through the Bank of
Woodland, it was dived between the two.
Both have altered their resolution In re-
gard to buying tickets and will continue
investing on . larger scale during the
present year.
A happy-looking, handsome man
stepped out Of the office in the produce
store at 437 Eleventh street, West Oak
land, and pleasantly greeted Call re-
porter, who had inquired for Columbus
r. Lewis. Mr. Lewis is another partici-
pator in the good luck that fell to Cali
fornia in the December drawing of the
Louisiana State Lottery, having won
one tenth Of the $3.50, 900 prize. He is
a widel y-known citizen of Oakland, and
rtatd es Will us lamliy II cosy NUNS at
1853 Brush street. He came to Califor-
MIA in 1860 and has been produce mer-
chant across the bay IA years. He has
not been at oil Hurried BY his big Christ
mas present. and is as methodical in his
business as ever. He began buying lot
terry tickets many years ago, and has
continued doing SO off and on ever since.
BY experience he grew to accept the out
come Of each drawing philosophically,
and he calmly heard the news when told
that the. coupon No. 69,255, which he
held. made hin $4,000 richer than he
had been before.
San Francisco also kept up its run Of
luck in the Lottery, Henry Adams Of

Having seen in your paper. in LET
tiers from the People" several articles
on our river and the best way to improve
it, would like TO make few sugges-
tons as to the most practical way OF
protecting the river front and making
valuable land where now people are
afraid to build. The fact is that in this
last freshet the volume OF water flowing
in the river carried one.third sand, and
probably more. A case presented itself
to me, where the water rose in build
ing two feet above the floor. After the
water receded there was found to be
about twelve inches of sand deposited
there, which would show more sand in
the water than my estimate. Now, in
stead of widening the river bed and al
lowing the water more space to spread
over and consequently lessening the cur
rent, and allowing this sand to settle and
fill up the river bed, which would be the
case every time there is food, and
causing the expense of dredging it out,
which if it were not done would soon
have its bed so high that the whole low
oa part OF the city would become use
Less, as nobody would live in the hanks
fof the high levees that would haveto
b. bull t6-ksep tffe> riyarl ID its propsr
channel during a food. OF cours9 tie
bed Of the river would net be filled up
much with one flood or two, but we
must look ahead to the time when Los
Angeles will be great city and make
the proper arrangements for conducting
the river through it, As all this land on
the river front will then be valuable for
manufactures, mills. etc, and with such
a wide water way the sliokens and sedi-
ment would be constantly filling in and
raising the bed Of the river. And now,
in order to have all the slickens and sand
that is brought down by the water car.
ried off and deposited off as far below
the city as possible. it will become nee
essary to increase the velocity of the
river and depth by contracting its bed
to, say, $50 feet wide and keep it there
with bulkheads or levees keeping the
channel as straight as pcssible) high
enough to give the same area of water
way, which will have the effect
OF securing the river, taking all the
sand far below the city. l should say
che velocity Of the river during this last
flood was from FIVE to eight miles per
hour. With a velocity OF one-half mile
per hour the water viii move fine gravel,
and at one and one-haif miles per hour
will move stones and rocks an inch in
diameter. At 2.25 miles per hour water
will move good sized cobble stones.
With velocity of five miles per hour
the river would be secured perfectly
clean. A pile bulkhead according to a
plan which have az my Office could be
built for S25. 900 per mile, and will stand
25 or so years, commencing at the hill
west of Buena Vista street on this side Of
che river aud carrying it through the
city on either side. With channel Of
$50 feet, the river could then be bridged
with single span, and the water would
have clean sweep and no distractions.
F! The idea is to confine the water to a
channel aud it will then carry off
through the city all the sediment which
| is brought from above and scour the bed
clean. L. H. CARVER,
Civil Engineer.

The Nee England Medical Monthly
comments very favorably on the pro.
verbal long and healthful lives Of the
Jews. DR.. Picard holds that this supe-
riority is due to their stringent health
laws. The Mosaic, like the older Egyp.
tian code. is very stringent regarding
the eating of flesh and other articles ii
food. OF the animals examined, large
proportion are always condemned as un-
tit for food. People who eat meat In
Discriminatory are very prone g. disor-
dera of the blood and of the kidneys; for
meat is composed of nitrogen, which the
kidneys have to remove from the blood,
and of course they cannot do this sue
cessfully except by the aid of Warmers
Safe Cure, the best kidney strengthened,
unless II is temporarily partaken Of and
only the very best meat is used. Jews
also use alcoholic liquors very sparingly
and thus keep up good digestion; and
then again they are holiday loving,

One noticeable feature about Jewish
cemeteries In the south is the scarcity Of new
iy made graves after an epidemic OF cholera
or yellow fever. Statistics show that fewer
OF them die than any ether race from these
or kindred diseases. During the cholera
scourge in roulon. only two orthodox Jews
died Of 1t, while In numbers they equalesi
fully 20 per cent of the population. Their
immunity from disease and the certainty
with which they recover when attacked by
It, Is accounted for by the simplicity of their
diet They are very strict about following
the dietary laws prescribed by Moses. Isn't
Il a little strange that Moses, III he was only

There probably never was more blum
dering over simple facts than was done
at the Board of Trade rooms at the
meeting to devise ways and means for
making levees. One man said the L. A.
& S. G.. v. R. r. wanted protection
from the city. Very true. The officers
claimed protection from man who was
disturbing the peace by stopping their
men from work. but the protection was
withheld by the city and the work
stopped in consequence. Nothing was
done after that event, not even to facing
the earth that was put in above Downey
avenue, and overflow above First street
was the result Just as was predicted in
the HERALD last fall. As to the line OF
the road below the East Los Angeles
bridge, that was located by the city
through the services of the City En-
gineer. So 1t appears the responsibility
rests upon the city for the overflow aud
the location of the line of the road
Didn't the speakers know these facts
when they made their addressesg Part

the levee. Will the city permit It to be
