Los Angeles daily herald., 1886-06-30

In certain San Francisco news
papers, which are heavily patronIzed
by the people Of this city and county
there is a very persevering and pans
taking effort TO damn Los Angeles
with faint praise. Not to mince mat
ters, we have no hesitation in saying
that the Chronicle is one OF the jour
nails TO which we allude. In its issue
Of Sunday last ii has highly encom-
istie notices OF San Diego and santa
Cruz. each OF more than a column IN
length. We do not object to this.
On the contrary, the HERALD well
comes anything that is calculated to
recommend any portion OF California
to the favorable attention Of persons
coming here from abroad. What we
object to is that, against columns oil
matter wildly eulogistic OF regions
which have not tithe Of the claim
OF Los Angeles upon the attention oil
pleasure and tourists, there
is, in this same issue OF the Chronicle,
third OF column devoted TO Santa
Monica, whose only logical purpose
seems TO be 10 get in the following
malignant stab at Los Angeles. A
Santa Monica correspondent OF that
journal writes:
Doubtless Won will think ] am in
love with this place, and so / am.
After few weeks spent in Los Ange-
les think this heaven compared to
IL, though the latter is beautiful
place and pleasant enough In the
winter time.
There is in this extract very con-
temptible slur Of Los Angeles, city
which, take il all in all has as per-
feet q climate as exists on the face oi
the earth. There are here perhaps
three weeks, distributed through the
whole year, when the weather, for
few hours in the day, is uncomforta-
bly, warm. But this is highly excep-
tional weather, and merely empha-
sizes our usual exemption from such
experiences. AS matter OF fact the
Summer climate Of Los Angeles Is
phenomenally fine. The people OF
this city enjoy daily the delights oil a
land and sea breeze. In the Summer
heats the Colorado Desert warns up
about eleven o'clock A. M, producing
the sea-breeze. This is referable to
very simple philosophical principle.
The superheated sands, being at q
much higher temperature than the
uniform temperature OF the ocean,
create towards the East rarehed
air and an ascending column, which
are replaced by the cooler and heavier
air which rushes in from the ocean to
fill the vacuum thus brought about.
On the other hand, about 7 80 P. NJ,
the expanse of the Colorado has
measurably cooled off, the steady old
ocean remaining at its uniform
standard; and US result, the land
breeze sets in. II consists OF the
then denser air of the Desert flowing
in to fill the vacuum arising from the
raretied air OF the ocean. Ii is owing
to this latter incident that Angelehos,
even in midsummer, are Obliged to
sleep under couple OF blankets.
There is no use in trying to disguise
the fact that the Chronicle is de-
signedly playing a slow down"
game in regard to Los Ange-
les city and county. 1t damns
the premier region OF Southern Cali
fornia, OF all points of the compass,
and of the world with faint praise.
We have no hesitation in saying that
the eighty-tive thousand inhabitants
of this county ought to force it out OF
this attitude or quit taking the paper.
There never has been any use in
furnishing your enemy with club
with which to beat in your own brains.
For a long time past it has been APP
parent that San Francisco has been
Jealous of the splendid advances made
by Los Angeles They have per-
feet right to indulge in this belittling
sentiment if they desire to do 50.
All that we object to is that any San
Francisco newspaper, circulated
largely in this city and county, should
veil their hostility. We concede that
it is their privilege to berate us at
their own sweet will, only maintain
ing that their attitude should be open
and above board. LOS Angeles, st.
Paul and Chicago are to-day the most
growing and progressive regions on
the American continent; and nc
"back-capping' on the part OF San
Francisco newspapers can possibly
change a direction of events which
has assumed, at least as respects tbs
Angelic city, the import and signiii'
cance of manifest destiny"
