Los Angeles daily herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1884-1890, 1886-05-06

The accomplished French lazy
who is acquitting herself OF such mir
acles in healing the sick in Los Ange-
les announces that she can cure any
thing but jealousy. The editor OF the
HERALD on Sunday paid a hurried
visit to Cotton and San Bcrnardlno,
the visit to the latter place
being merely the incident OF drive.
He was inspired by a desire to see
sick friend, and he thought he ought
TO avail himself OF the occasion to see
something OF the development OF
highly interesting region. He had in
mind nothing but good will to both
Cotton and San Bcrnardino; and, on
his return, he wrote cordially Of both.
Yet here il what the San Bernardino
Times OF Tuesday journal edited
by our accomplished friend Isaac
had to say OF an appreciatiye ii not
generous tribute TO his own charming
valley:
Damned by faint praise, is what
San Bernardino suffers from Los An
geles. When Cotton footed her horn
the Los Angeles press loudly echoed
the foot, but when San Bernardino
gives voice to assured facts, they
keep exceedingly mum or throw cold
water upon It, Mr.. Joseph ID. Lynch,
OF the HERALD, II strong friend OF Col
ton, and an Indifferent friend OF San
Bernardino, visited this city last sun
day, and in his account OF his visit
devotes much space to Cotton and
grudgngly speaks OF this place
One would suppose, from this caus-
tic and even hostile comment, that
the columns OF the HERALD had act
ually been devoted to abusing San
Bernardino. We do not often quote
the HERALD in its own columns, but
to illustrate an ill-nature which is
really very peculiar, we venture 10
repeat what we said, viz.
San Bernardino has also fully
clught the tide OF progress and pros
parity abounds in all her limits. As
ut Cotton, valuable improvements arc
being pushed steadily forward. 1t is
ut last being realized that this is one
OF Che best watered valleys in the
State, that its geographical situation
is very superior one, especially with
regard to the noticeably rich mining
interests OF this section, and that
much lost time ought to be made up
for. very confident real estate syn
dictate has fully persuaded itself that
its mem bers know just where the de-
pot and workshops OF the Atlantic x
Pacific Railway are to be located, and
they have loaded themselves up |
with adjoining property. A motor
railway, which will be run by dummy |
engines, is now in process of con
struction between San Bernardlno
!knd Cotton. The old indifference to |
imiYfQvement in that section is being |
replac8d by creditable and vivify- |
ing modern energy. With the Santa |
Ana river, Mill Greek, Plunge Creek,
Lytle Greek, and her innumerable
artesian wells, and capacity to de-
velop the latter without number,
there is no reason why the San Ber-
nardno valley should not be the cen
ter OF an unsurpassed development
during the next ten years. Old Gray
back, Mt. San Bernardino, the San
Jaeinto and the whole range OF the
Sierras, afford her an inexhaustible
supply OF water, and spirit is now |
abroad which will utilize every drop
of it.
ii this be called "damning with
faint praise, what, in the name of
all the Gods at once, would be called
cordial and spontaneous
But we see exactly how it is. We
are in the plight of the friend OF the
quarreling husband and wife who
started in to make peace in the fam
lily. The poor fellow wound up by
finding both the eombatants clapper-
clawing him. As last resort he
was glad to jump out OF the window.
We won't have it SO. We are deter
mined to have peace between Cotton
and San Bernardino, even il we have
to shed inky tears OF supplication
towards that end,
As peace offering we tender in
telligence that we know to be u fact,
viz. That the Atchison, Topeka 4
Santa Fe people are determined to
own water front in Los Angeles
county, either near San Pedro, Santa
Monica or Long Beach, and that their
real workshops, romd-houses and
principal depot will be located in the
city of Los Angeles. We charge
nothing either to our Cotton or San
Bernardino contemporaries for this
information, but il is as true as proof
OF Holy Writ.
There, now Have we made our
peace?
