EDITOR HERALD: My attention was
drawn to nn article which appeared in a
recent issue of your paper, aud also to
one in the Times of the LIST inst, de-
scribing the manner by which some par.
ties in this city claim to be able to con.
troll the intense heat produced by means
of .Oxy-Hydrogen gases, commonly called
white heat, and utilize the same to vari
ous practical uses, and how it can be APP
Piled to any stove, range or fire-box, OF
wherever heat is required at trifiing
cost.
No doubt any invention that would
tend to econom2a fuel or reduce its cost
would be great benefit to the people
of Southern California, and if Mr.. Burns
has succeeded in inventing device by
which he can control and utilize the
flame produced by Oxy.Hydrogen, after
so many others have failed in doing so,
his fame will be known in places older
and of more Importance than Los An
geles.
| also noticed in the same article in
the Times that syndicate has been
formed TO purchase territory and handle
this invention. lhope am not too late
in suggesting to the persons composing
this syndicate to go slow about putting
their money into it until they are well
satisfied as to its success.
1t may seem fresh" for me to give
this piece of advice, but learned enough
of the working of white heat racket
few years ago, up country, to cause
me to look with distrust into any
scheme il connection with it.

The Northern Ci,rus BeIt.

The Sacramento Bee says; "The indi,
cations are that the orange crop of the
Sacramento Basin and its foothills will
be in the market this season many weeks
in advance of the Southern California
fruit" This news must produce terror
in the minds of the orange growers oil
Southern California, for they are con.
fronted with the great fact that this
Sacramento Basin will pour out its or
ange crop early and flood the market
with GO, 600 oranges. That is equal to
the product of 40 orange trees in Los
Angeles, or one carload OF fruit, and will
be a crusher to the 1000 carloads that
will be shipped from Los Angeles county
from the next crop. But trouble must
be endured, and ii one carload can put
2O00 to fight, the people about this city
will have to raise beans and surrender
the yield to the quinine eaters of Saera-
mento.

The mails come in very slowly from

S. F. X. X. There was no mail sent
through for five days and only part Off
sent then. Why does not the posta
authorities send the mail around by the
U. P. r. r? When the S. p. R. r
was washed out in Soledad canon. the
Postmas ter here sent the mails around via
Yuma, I'll Paso, Albuquerque and Mo.
iave to San Francisco, distance Of
l 800 miles. The A. T. & S. +. railway
could easily send the mails around via
Denver and Cheyenne or by the Denver

one in which the mail was not forwarded
as it might have been. Who is tC

The Harry Lacy Company opened last
night at the Grand Opera House in the
popular comedy drama, "The Planters
Wife" The scene is laid in the South
about the end Of the civil war. The
story is a tangled skein, aud no mistake
about the matter. The plot is handled
very adroitly by the author who first
winds the tolls about his victim, the
Northern wife of Col. Graham Of the Con
federate army. The main business hinges
on the stealing Of some war papers
very similar TO the cardinal point in
Diplomacy. The denouement is very
neatly unfolded and poetic justice is
melted out with unstinting hand to sam I
and sinner, according to their deserts.
The leading role of Edith, the Planters
Wife. is taken by Miss Louise Rial, no
stranger to Los Angeles play.
goers, and one who with each
visit makes fer herself place
of warmer appreciation in all hearts.
She is a painstaking, conscientious and
artistic actress. In face and figure she
is a. well remembered from former
visits, with the exception OF little
more eR bon point IN physique. The
character she essayed last night Is one
that taxes all the resources Of strong
actress, and the lady interpreted the
part with fine appreciation OF its
meaning. In the more trying
stages Of the story she rose to
u really high degree of ant Mr.. Harry
Lacy, us Col Albert Graham, wealthy
planter, played his part in very &C.
ceptable manner. His voice is light and
thin, natural defect, but in the pas
sionate passages OF his acting he devel
oped good deal Of fire and power.
The comedy part of the play is in the
hnnds OF Simeon SINCE, an embryo au.
thor who has wri ten history of the
war--Mr Chas. II. Hopper; and Angie
Gordan. too yourg to have beaux-Miss
Kate Hawthorne. There is plen-
ty of fun in these two roles,
and all the hidden spice was thoroughly
developed by the young lady and her
"Simmie.' They both convulsed the
house with bursts of laughter over aud
over again.
The several other parts were well
taken by the other members of the cast,
and as whole the rendition of this
thoroughly American, strong, popular
drama was mn evening of downright en-
joyment to the very fair audience in all
respects assembled to witness it.
The company is booked for the rest OF
the week, including a Saturday mat.

PRICE sI.OO.
How Main Street Land is
Given Away.

Fourteen year old seeding orange
trees have an auction value. SIS each
is an extremely low figure. No farmer
would contract to grow them for that
sum. 1t would not begin to pay him
for his labor. In fact he would ridicule
such an offer. Twelve trees to a 50xl 10
foot lot at that price would equal $50.
The city improvements, such as ten
beautiful dwellings, heavy plank walks,
electric lights, &C., nearly exhaust the
difference between $3.50 and $3.50, the
price of each lot on the Cooperative
Nursery Tract. The owner therefore
asks less than cost of improvements; the
land is thrown in free. This is why the
offer of the Cooperative Tract is the
| lowest ever made in this city. There is
not a capitalist in Los Angeles who
would agree to furnish like improve.

This is forced sale, otherwise no

PeOple,s stores, Gifts of Pictures.
In addition to what we said yesterday
about our pictures, we have received
and opened case of oleographs of va.
rious beautiful scenes, in gold frames,
embossed, and three inches deep. The
sizs of these are 20x25 inches, and are
given with $l2 purchases. They are
prettier than anything we have exhib-
tied heretofore. 1t is matter of won
der and establishment to merchants here
how we do it-give away to purchasers
of SO, Sl2 and 800 pictures that are
worth more in themselves than all the
profit we can possibly make in the sale.
They wouldn't do it II there wasn't
something in it, they say. Well, there
is something in il for us. We get peo-
lle to buy So, Sl2 and $50 bills at enc
trading, and in that manner we educate
our customers to our prices, and the diff
ference in either purchase saves them
between our price, and Others is so
marked that they know the house to
trade with in the future. Special sales
to-day in embroideries, and all over we
have an exceptionally large stock, and
we give you picture with SO, Sl2 and
$50 purchases.

in New York. Our advice is, buy any
thing if there is money in it. We are
cutting and slashing prices, and doing a
rushing business. II you see the num-
Der OF $50 purchases daily cut from the

The Gle lin Fire Extinguisber.

Last night a big crowd assembled on
Los Angeles street, near Commercial, to
witness test made of the Giblin iile
exting1isher. A temporary shed OF
some eight feet in height and 6xl2 on
the ground, covered on top and open
towards thenorth was made, aud into this
a quantity of combustible matter put.
A large amount of kerosene oil was
poured over it and then the whole thor
oughly ignited. When the flames fairly
enveloped the whole structure the bot
ties were thrown into the matter on fire.
Three or four were exploded within the
shed and in a moment there was hardly
a bit of blaze to be seen. One
could easily have smothered the fire by
stamping 1t out with the feet, or with
Il couple of buckets of water cast upon
it, so thoroughly did the chemicals act
on the fierce fire. 1t was let get head
way second and third time with the
same success. No one could see and
doubt the great efficacy of the bottles in
such an emergency.
