The Santa Rosa Democrat is smart"
at the expense of our southern sister
city. 1t says that the people OF San
Diego may not have the best country
in the world, but they have popu-
lace of wonderful business tact and
cunning. A gentleman just up from
there gives an illustration of their
method of advertising the country.
Every day man drives four-horse
load of corn into town. The real es-
tate men gather around the wagon and
pronounce it the finest production in
the world, "grown just outside OF
the city," Some real estate man
buys the load at a fabulous figure,
the load is driven to some back street,
and on the following day another
man drives it into town, and so on.
This same gentleman further says
that he has been in San Diego several
months, and not a day has passed but
what the same identical load of corn
has been driven into town and pur-
chased by some real estate dealer.
But tine best of it is that the corn was
originally shipped from Chicago.
The average San Diegan may not
even smile at this funny business
/, which may be true and may not be
and he probably feels like the Arkan
sas boy who stubbed his toe, and in
reply to solicitous inquiry said: Tn
too big to cry, and it hurts too awfu
bad to laugh"

irrigating fruit-farms and supplying
domestic water to towns, q submerged
dam was made. In narrow gap
in the caflon where solid granite
shoulders from the mountain abut in
to the arroyo, a deep trench was dug
from rock to rock. Here a water-tight
dam was laid reaching to some
height above the bed of the arroyo.
This great undertaking is now COM
plete, excepting about fifty feet, which
needs foot or SO to finish it to the
height of the rest of the dam. That the
exploit will be successful one Is
abundantly evidenced by the fact
that there is now thirty feet OF water
above the dam, showing that the
subterranean stream has been cut
off and forced to the surface. 1t is a
novel enterprise and goes to Illus
trate the strange methods developed
by the peculiar circumstances exist
ing in this section.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1888-03-01

The proposition Of the Board Of
Freeholders, who are now framing
the new charter, which contemplates
the publication Of the city advertising
in obscure, hebdomadal papers, is
funny beyond anything excepting the
reason given for this wise provision OF
these Solons. It is done to prevent
the bad and wicked dailies from ''pool-
ing" and thus robbing the people.
As a matter of fact, this business of
Los Angeles city and county has been
done time out of mind at ruinously
low rates. The papers make nothing
out Of it. The purpose Of publishing
th ese announcements is the informa-
tion for the people, not to save money.
II that was what is aimed at, the
purpose can be best achieved by not
pub blishing them at all.

A CURIOSITY, in the shape of a
dam, may be seen in the Pacoima
cafion, above San Fernando. The
owners Of a large and very fertile
tract Of land below the mouth of the
cafion, wisely desired to secure most
abundant supply of water for their
enterprise. In order to do this, dam
has been built such as probably never
MAS seen before. 1t goes on the theory
that Southern Californian rivers are
not made Is streams in other sections.
Our rivers run bottom upwards, ex-
posing . bed of moist sand

The South is central figure in the
progress of the times. The vexed
problem now of the farmers of that Sec
ton is whether they shall grow more
cotton or more grain. The change in
agricultural methods in the South is
shown in the fact that last seasons
corn crop was of nearly the same
value as the cotton produced, the two
standing, cotton 1894 1853 900; corn
$213, ,662 ,92O; adding the oats, wheat,
etc., it is probable that the cereals
raised in 1887 were equal, if they did
not exceed in value, the staple pro-
duct. 1t would be passing strange in
the whirligig of time if corn should be-
come King in the Land Of Cotton.

SECOND payments do not seem to
be playing the deuce with real estate
business to any such degree as some
anticipated-shall we say fondly hop
ed? In January 1886, the sales ag-
gregated in consideration little over
81 900, 900; in 1887 trifle more than
81, 900, 900; while in January OF this
year the sum was $6,640,175. The
figures for February are even more
re-assuring, for in 1886 they were less
than 81, ,O0O, 900; in 1887 less than $5,-
600, 900; while for 1888, the month
closed yesterday, they roll up $685.
SS1. Note last year February fell off
from the January record by $1,100,-
900; but this year the latter month
overtops the earlier by nearly round
81 900, 900. Those who are waiting
to see those who now hold real prop
erty in this section pressed to meet
obligations and forced to put down
prices, will wait longer than the rus
tic did who sat down on the brink of
the stream intending to cross when
the stream run dry. The fact is prop
erty hereabouts is held in remarkably
strong and confident hands. The his
tory of this spring will be the
same as that of several past.
In the earlier part of the season things
are dull, and here and there may be
found man desirous of realizing
buyers decline to improve such golden
hoping for an easier
market at later date; the spring
opens up and with the spring mans
hopes grow brighter; then there is a
rush to get in on the first OF those who
have been waiting. They buy at ad-
vanced prices.

THERE is a petition before the Coun-
Gil, or there will be upon the next
meeting of that body, praying for the
opening Of First street westward from
Hill. This is matter to which the
very earnest attention of the Board of
Public Works is invited. First street
is very important artery in the city's
prosperity. East of the river it con-
meets with Also Avenue, and makes
a much-traveled thoroughfare to the
extreme eastern limits of the city and
thence to the country lying outside the
municipality. To the westward it
penetrates one Of the most populous
and most rapidly improving sections
of the pueblo. From Hill street, in
that direction, First street is useless.
By grading the block Immediately
west Of Hill, and one other west of
Hope, this avenue will become one
of the utmost convenience to very
large number of our citizens. By all
means the street should be opened

THIS paper has already noticed the
malignity and mendacity of letters
sent on from here by special agent
of the New York Herald. In late
letter this same envoy attacks the
beautiful and growing town Of Bur-
bank in most gross and slanderous
manner. 1t now appears that there
is an animus of blackmail in this wan
ton and mendacious assault upon Bur-
bank. for one of the officers Of the
Providencia Company declares that
the New York Herald correspondent
was unsuccessful in an application to
him to write up the town at the rate
of So line. This accounts for the
milk in the cocoanut. Hereafter what
ever may be said in the New Yorl
Herald by this thrifty correspondent
may be set down as the result Of 6
commercial proposition. If he speaks
we'll of any particular place, the read
er will know he got 50 line; if other
wise, the interested parties refused tt
"come down."

rants for the arrest Of certain citizens,
the previous owners of the stock Of
the Victor Marble Works. These
gentl -men had been fairly and care
fully examined once before a just
Judge, and the charges against them
were summarily dismissed. The Dis
trict Attorney probably took the view
that further prosecution would savor
simply Of persecution instigated by
personal malice, and refused to allow
his office to be used for any such pur-
poses. The average citizen who does
not happen to have any part in this
resentment, will be very certain to
approve of Judge Dupuy's course in
this affair.

THE terrible explosion of the steam
er Julia at South Vallejo few days ago
has called out from the San Francisco
press list of all similar casualties
which have occurred in the State.
Here is the history:
Since the American occupation of
California the following steamer ex-
plosions have occurred in the waters
Of the State: Sycamore, October 20,
1850; Fawn, August Is, 1850; Major
Tompkins, January %, 1851; r. K.
Page, March %, 1858; Jenny Lind,
April IL, 1853; American Eagle, Octo-
ber IS. 1853; Stockton, October IS,
1852; Ranger, January s, 1854;
Helen Hensley, January 10, 1854 ;
Secretary, April Is, 1854 Pearl, Janu-
4ry 81, 1856; Georgiana, November
23, 1856; Belle, February 5, 1856;
Contra Costa, April 8, 1859; J. A.
McC Clelland, August 25, 1861; Ada
Hancock, April 27, 1858; Sophie Nc
Lane, October 26, 1864; Washoe, Sep
tember 5, 1854; Yosemite, October
~, 1865; Pilot, May %, 1888.
In September, 1865, the steamer
Julia (the same one which blew up
Monday blew the head out of her
1taamdrum while on the way to
Stockton, killing ten persons.
February 10, 1881, steam pipe in
the steamer City of Stockton ex-
ploded, scalding two of the deck
hands fatally.
A careful perusal of the above list
win convey substantial assurances to
the travelling portion Of our popula-
lation that really ren arkable progress
has been made in the management Of
Steamers during the past 40 years.
The frequency of explosions in the
Q arly pioneer days is an alarming
feature of the history of that time.
Two casualties in 1850, one in 1851
three in 1858, three again in 1854, two
in 1855-there is a record that mus
have made that mode of travelling
ra ther sensational. From 1850 te
1859 there were IA explosions
Of steamers in the ten years
From 1861 to 1888, perioo
Of 2S years, there were only
explosions of this sort. And of the
8, all excepting took place in the
sixties. Taking the period between
1850 and 1865 and we find that il
those II years 21 explosions are
recorded; while in 21 years, from 1856;
to 1888, there are, including the las
catastrophe on the Julia, only 3 sucl
mishaps to chronicle. That is yer,
substantial triumph for modern skill
and care.

The showers which for two days
have been refreshing the earth in the
immediate vicinity of Los Angeles,
seem to be widespread throughout
the southern counties. To the south
east gentle rains are reported from
Anaheim and Santa Ana, and to the
eastward the showers have fallen all
along the country, at least as far as
Pomona. The face of the farmer is
as round as fall moon in view

timers say it is the best year
