ONE OF the best known and most relia-
ble real estate men Of Los Angeles in
forms the HERALD that heavy capitalists
OF San Francisco stand ready to invest
very large sums of money in Los Angeles
real estate at existing rates of interest.
Quite number Of Eastern capitalists
have also lately entered the local market
as lenders. These facts, in conjunction
with the circumstance that the large
sums collected for taxes must soon be
again placed in circulation, indicate that
money will be much easier hereabouts in
u few weeks.

The New Years "aeraId.o

THE New YEARS HERALD will be one
of the most interesting publications ever
issued in Southern California. We shall
print a mammoth edition of that number,
and have already received extensive
orders for copies from the East.
In addition to the presentation OF the
yearly statistics of the county and the
section, it will contain a great mass o1
carefully prepared matter upon the re-
sources, attractions, advantages and
possibilities of our county. 1t will show
where lands can be bad for all prices,
from the lowest to the highest. 1t will
illustrate the capacity and value of our
soil by showing what has been and what
is being done. No subject of interest to
the fastener who is looking for home
will be omitted.
The NEW YEARS HERALD will be ex-
tensively read everywhere, and will
exercise decisive influence upon persons
abroad who think of coming to Cali
fornia in choosing this section to settle
in. We are taking especial pains to make
this issue complete in every detail relating
to the advantages which this county
offers to the newcomer. This is in line
with the good and effective work the
HERALD has done continuously for fifteen
years. It has always taken hopeful
and optimistic view of Los Angeles and
Southern California. Even in times
OF the greatest depression, the HER
AID has insisted that county
SO richly gifted as ours-with an incom-
parable soil and delicious climate
with mountains of unapproachable
grandeur, valleys Of matchless fertility,
and scenery such as is unsurpassed for
its beauty and picturesqueness-we
always insisted that such advantages
would in the end make our
county and section the Mecca
of the worlds health-seekers
and the goal of all who desired to live in
q soft and salubrious climate, where the
minimum of labor would secure the maxi
mum of results. Our prophecy has been
fulfilled. The past six years have wit
messed wonderful change not only
in Los Angeles, but in every city
in Southern California. People are
focking here from all parts of the Union
and Europe. From village our city
has grown into metropolitan proportions,
and the population of our whole section
has Occupied in the past few years.
This movement must be kept up. We
have room here for millions of industri-
GUS and energetic people. Our lands
will support them in princely style, and
our possibilities in commercial and in
dustrial development are unlimited.
The HERALD continues the good work
it began in 1874, and will continue it to
the end.

lieved that division and admission is
simply q question of time, and while
waiting the outcome with considerable
anxiety, the people have hardly begun
to look after the prizes to be secured when
the two States are introduced. Every
move at the National Capitol is watched
for eagerly, while number of Dakota
towns are looking after their fences and
generally brushing up in the hope that
they may become the seat of govern
ment. While few towns are especially
anxious to secure that plum, all are
united in their efforts to bring settlers
into the soon-to-be States.

In the campaign of 1884 the vote fol
st. John, Prohibition candidate for the
Presidency, was 1880 in the State oi
Califofnia, and 157 1893 in all the States.
Last November Fisk received 6, ,447 votes
In this State and 57,488 in all the
States. In Los Angeles county the st.
John vote was 343, and the Fisk vote
1924. The cold-water vote is power in
politics, and for any public candidate less
pronounced in his temperance views and
practices than Harrison it will his
quietus make with bit of paper.

IT would be laughable were it
not 50 absurd, to see rebel brigadiers
in Congress lamenting while max
ing their free trade speeches, that
the country would ere long be over

overthrow 1t, and fear that money
will accomplish what their swords
failed to do.

TIE Atlanta Constitution di

Tie Atlanta Constitution dis
torts the situation thus:
" Halsted, Sherman and Ingalls,
all agree that the mission Of the
Republican party is to compel the
Southern people to despise those
who fought tor the lost cause. 1t
is very large Job, indeed-large
enough to poster a party seventeen
times more populous than the Re
publican affair"
That is not a true statement OF
the case. All that the North or
any Northern man asks of the
South is that there shall be tree
and full vote of all the people, and
fair count of the votes at all the
elections. That is all that is asked
and it is what the South pertina-
clously refuses to yield.

IT was Gen Sheridan who once
made the epigrammatic assertion
that if he had to make his resi-

choose the former as his abiding

OF course, prevented them from
asking the President to visit the

WHITE OAKS.

We know Of no town in New
Mexico with such a bright future
as White Oaks. No man with
spoonful OF brains and one good
eve in his head, who has visited
our burgh and inspected it's sur
roundings, could have helped see
ing possibilities and contemplat-
ing it's probabilities. Within our
confines, and fringlng their edges,
are inexhaustible gold mines, coal
mines, iron ore, and marble and
the very finest of bulldidg stone in
galore.
For years capitalists, who, as a
class, lave keener eyes than the
impecunious and always have them
peeled and looking for the main
chance, have discovered our ad-
vantages and studied how best to
avail themselves OF our products
Capital travels slow but sure. AT
ter frequent and careful consulta-
tons they have concluded to open
their money bags and disclose to
us "a Railroad thoroughfare, thus
enabling the poor mine locator to
harvest his crop of ore and ship it
inexpensively to near market for
reduction or advance remuneration
Then it will bring merchant mills
here, at which the miner can sell
his ore ard procure money with
which to develop his property,
) this eventuating in his coming to
the front forehanded, having prof
tied by his tenacity and industry.
Nor is this the only Effect the in.
PRODUCTION OF Railroad as sub
stitute for dirt road, will have
upon the future of White Oaks.-
; The inflow OF immigration to the
Territory will, in large part, be
diverted to White Oaks and Other
portions Of Lincoln County, coun
ty .larger than the States troS
which many of the immigrants
will come. These new comers viii
engage IN trade, the professions,
and IN avenues of manuel labor -
Then, instead of starveling weekly
papers, weakly edited, prosperou,
daily journals will be thrown from
ponderous steam presses the al.
will be disturbed by the voices O
hoodlums crying the LEADER an'
such other papers as may merit re
cogmtion and which they will b,
peddling; churches made by del
hands will be erected, in which Tho
way to that " house not made will
, hands, eternal in the heavens,
will be Taught; schools will b
built for the reduction of ignoranc
and it's conversion into scholar
ship the atmosphere will be ren
dercd black and murky from bein!
freighted with smoke ascen4in:

,. and avenues will wear an eterna

recognized leader of the Republi-

died he left ne vacancy in the Re
publican party. He was man Of
exceeding vanitY-not OF the vul-
gar type which offends by eternal
ly sounding his own name and
voicing his assumed importance in
the tired ears of those with whom
he comes in contact, but of the inn
perious character which impresses
by virtue of high intellectual pow
er and associate forces, obedience
seemingly akin 20 homage When

loved with as much fervor as evel

hour mp to the time of his death
he sulked in his tent, broken il
spirit and i'll at ease with the world

From the FL Paso Tribune.
The Southern Pacific and Missouri
Pacific Combination

On the 9th inst. the Tribune sta
ted that zone of the greatest com
blnations on earth" had been
formed in connection with the pro-
posed White Oaks road. 1t fur
ther stated that "the White Oaks
road will be another grand trunk
rail line from the Atlantic to the
Pacific" with Gel Paso the OBJ
jective point east and west, and
that the Southern Pacific and the
Missouri Pacific would be united
at White Oaks"
These statements were doubted
by some and ridiculed by many
among the latter one or two wise
ones going SO far as to say, "that
is absolutely impossible" " We
then thought we knew what we
were talking about, and now comes
the Kansas City Times to confirm
1t. The Times says
Morris r. Locke, a California
railroad contractor, has just signed
a contract with some Chicago capi
talists for the construction of line
of railroad from FL Paso, Texas, to
White Oaks, New Mexico. The
new line is to be operated by the
Southern Pacific and is to be util-
lied as a western feeder for the
Missouri Pacifc's New Mexico
! line. Mr.. Locks contract with the
Chicago parties simply calls for a
bonus Of 100000 the day the line
is completed and in operation.
They arc largely interested in mi
ming, lumber, coal and cattle in
the White Oaks district, which is
entirely undeveloped owing to lack
of transportation facilities. The
bailding of the new line presents
another feature which is destined
to cause considerable trouble to eX-
isting lines. The Missouri Pacific
is fast building a line to White
Oaks. and this line will form a di
rect connection with the Southern
Pacific, making transcontinentaI
line, and the short route between
the Mississippi River and the Pa.
citic Ocean,
When the Tribune makes a state
ment on important matters affect
El ,Paso and her people, put il
down as correct, without any cavil
