EDITOR HERALD: As l seem misun
derstood, let me once for all say rec
ognize the inadequate width of Temple
street, but am not moving party to the
mooted project. l believe an addition
of ten feet sufficient and that it should
be taken off one side, at least from Fort
to Bunker Hill. Now while to all be-
tween those streets, Temple widened ten
feet would be enjoyable and benefit,
and that portion should pay something
therefor, | do think that property west
OF Bunker Hill avenue should rs a whole
with here and there a small exceptionl
bear more than its frontage share of ex.
pense, for it has no graded streets or gut.
tiers to grade and lay anew, few fences to
take down, no sidewalks, stone or other
wise to lose, no houses to move, no
porches or steps to remove. believe
the move to be inspired by few large
proprietors aiming to sustain their lands
ms against projects in other parts of the
city. The lots on the South side of
Temple from Fort to Bunker Hill are
almost all of them short, and to abruptly
propose to cut off twenty feet in the in.
terest OF parties who more or less of them
have so appropriated the streets as to
prohibit driving except by experts, is of
GOODNESS that tends to delay the advent
OF the summer weather so long due.

ROASTED RooKERfEs.
shanties ON Commercial street
GONE to Blazes.

GONE to Biazes.
Last night about IL o'clock fire
alarm called out the entire department.
1t looked at one time by the light in the
sky like big fire. This light made 1t
easy to follow to the scene of the conha-
grafton. Long before the machines
could by the utmost dispatch get water
on the fire it had gained great Roadway.
IL was ON Commercial street between
Los Angeles and Wilmington and broke
out directly back OF the White House,
or Smiths Hotel, in an old clothes
and repairing shop Of Solomon, as is sup
posed. All the occupants of the string Of
rookeries down TO Wilmington street were
away from the premises at the time ex-
ceptinp the Chinese in a couple Of laun-
dries at the corner Of the latter street,
Six Of the occupancies were leveled to
the ground before the flames could be
auelled. These were Solomons tailor
shop. Balman, fruit stand, an aged
pair of Germans, of whom the man
kept a shop for repairing shoes and the
woman a peanut stand; next was
barber shop, then carpen-
ter's shop for making ice chests,
stepladders, screene doors, etc., then a
couple Of wash houses, of which one
was burned. The property belonged to
Martin Hirigoyen. Solomon was in
sured for 5000 and Bahlman for $3.50,
both in the Oakland Home. 1t is not
known il any of the Others were insured.
The loss all told is more or less nominal,
although it falls heavily on such poor
people as most of them are.
The fire wall between the White
House and the fire saved that block
from destruction. At one time fears
were entertained foi the Heinsch or
Mclaughlin block across the street.
The iron doors were that hot they would
burn anything that touched them, but
the boys turned stream on them from
time to time and held 1t down.

DR.. Wall, of Orange, says the Orange
Tribune, has been packing lemons in
sand to keep them until the market ia
right. ION the 22d day of December
last he picked box of lemons, just
ready to turn yellow, and placed them
in box, putting in layer at time
aud pouring in dry sand around and
over them, filling the box in that way.
The box was placed in a cool, dry
place, and the lemons were allowed
to remain until the I'd of June. OF
nearly six months. The specimens given
us were certainly very fine, thin-skinned,
full of Juice and OF beautiful bright
yellow color. If this can be done we
see no reason why the lemon trade
should not be remunerative one. Nc
imported lemon can be finer than these,
and none should bring better price.
II any one doubts the assertion that q
fruit farm will pay, when properly man
aged, we would respectfully refer them
to DR.. Wall and let them see what be
has got in that line"

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 50xll9
foot lot at that price would equal $3.50.
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 Ike improve
ments for S250-that is contrac: to take
new land and put on it what we offer,
waiting Ia years for his money.
So practically fine and slightly piece
Of land is given away without charge.
Examine this offer every way you choose,
realize the tracts location, in direct
line with the city's growth, on the high
est priced street we have, you may then
understand that small investment at
our figures will return you many fold
increase within very few years.
There is not flaw of any kind in the
property; every detail is perfect, includ-
ing the title.
This is a forced sale, otherwise no
such price would be made. The reason
is explained by the Managers. Many
subscribers have already realized what
we say. A large proportion of these
lots are already sold. The remainder are
already taken, if we can rely on the
promises of apparently sincere people.

THIS SPLENDID TRACT is in the very heart
of Los Angeles. but one block west from
Pearl street, and situated on Eleventh.
Twelfth and Pico streets. adjoining on the
latter street the elegant grounds and man
sion of Mrs. Foreman.
THE Rowland ELECTRIC Moron RAILWAY
is now an assured fact on Pico street; the
rails are on the way here and the cars will
be running In sixty days.
The price of these lots is exactly one-haif
Of the sum asked for those adjoining on the
east, and which are unimproved.
The success of the Homesteads of the
Southern California Land Company is
strictly owing to the loao rate at which they
place their properties before the public and
the fact that they offer only frst-cldss city
locations. The high prices asked by middle
men for lots are avoided. The Company
desires to see the subscribers to these prop
critics gain handsome profit after the di-
vision Of the Homesteads.
The sale of this tract is on the homestead
plan (see law OF 1892. as was the Childs
Tract and the Urmston Tract. The land Is
sold as an entirety and delivered over to
the subscribers with all the Improvements
of villa residences, planked sidewalks and
electric lights. without further charge than
the amount received In the aggregate from
the subscribers, each one of whom has
vested right In the entire tract.
The meeting of the subscribers for the
distribution OF these lots is Axed for octo
Der 4th, 1885. The proceedings will be in
accordance with the agreement recorded in
the subscription book to the tract, and
signed by the purchasers.
