CONFIRMATION OF a most positive sort,
multiplies on all hands, going to show
that there is marked and general i'm.
provement in progress in the real estate !
market. There is an smount of conf
dence afloat in the air which most en-
phatically proclaims the fact that hold
ers are rapidly getting into such posi-
ton as will enable them to dictate terms
to buyers. Meantime, enquiries grow
more abundant daily. and the
seekers are not SO fastidiousi
as they were some time ago. THIS is true,
not only of Los Angeles, but of all the
good towns in the section. The same
inspiring notes are heard al along tie
line from Pasadena to Pomona. Both of
these charming towns are experiencing
veritable revival of selid, legitimate busi-
ness in realty. The same tale is told the
people all the way from Los Angeles to
Anaheim, TO Orange and to Santa Ana.
Aaaheim is nearly really to dedicate
her new theatre, and Santa Ana
is about to build one which
will cost s5O,oOO. At Inglewood between
Los Angeles and the sea, Mr.. d. Free
man is sbout top put up a residence for
his ownuse which will cost t15O, 900.
The Sokdiers' Home at Santa Monica will
be putup this fall and winter. At San
Pedro the Southern Pacific Company is
preparing to spend 81 ;0O0, 900 ona wharf.
In this city there is no Stacking up in the
building of city. Residences
from the grade of modest
cottage for some thrifty mechanic
to that of palace for some capitalist are
begun in large numbers almost daily.
Cottages are started daily and many of
them each day. Business blocks in
numbers are found on dozen streets in
all stages of construction, and daily one
or more new blocks are begun. The in
quiry for property includes small farms
in large numbers. The tide of immigra-
ton has already set in in quite as large
volume as has ever been experienced
at so early stage in the season. All re-
ports are to the effect that this tide will
sweR in volume and increase in current
at an amazing rate from now on until
about New Years day, when it will be
at food. Take warning in time! The
history of this fall will be that of the past
eight years. Property is cheaper in Au-
gust than it will be in December. The
man who buys now stands to make ten
per cent. in ninety days.

ALLEGATIONS are scattered broadcast to
the effect that the values of lands in this
section are forced to an undue mark. A
careful Investigation of the facts will
rapidly dissipate this erroneous outgiving.
Some property hereabouts is held at
pretty stiff figures, but it may easily be
proven that this is true only in the case of
improved lands where the actual income
renders the property very desirable, or
of parcels which have a speculative
value in the prospect of their
soon becoming available for bust
ness or residence purposes. Not
many days ago the HERALD published
the fact that 1000 acres of exceptionally
desirable land for any sort of fruit cul-
ture including oranges or raisins, and
with an abundance of water piped to the
property, could be had for about 500
per acre. A syndicate might buy such
property, put ton the market for $3.50
per acre, sell it all off in year and
pocket profit of fifty per cent. The
Los Coyotes ranch in this county, of
twenty-eight thousand acres, can be pur-
chased for about $25 per acre; and La
Habra ranch, of six thousand four hun.
dred acres, could probably be had for $50 !;
while the San Joaquin, of nearly fifty
thousand acres, might be bought consid-
erably cheaper. These are all excellent
lands for all purposes. There is big
money in buying them, cutting them up
into small farms, selling them at a fair
advance, at which they would still be
very cheap. Values are not forced to an
undue mark in this section.

Our most esteemed and highly re-

Our most esteemed and highly re-

cracking its stale, fiat and improbable
old chestnuts about "Hoodlum Demo-

"The more respectable elements of the
Democracy" and similar unveracious
and inefficacious trash to the same effect

and molelike burrowing in the dark. The
role OF innuendo is not the part usually
played by a brave man. 1t is not usually
accepted as mark OF veracity among
men. Among others Of these Munchau-
sen tales is the threadbare one eredivivus
about the attempt to bIibe a couple OF
Republican officials in order that the
registration machinery Of the county
might be manipulated by the "Hoodlum
wing of the Democracy" If any such
attempt wes ever made and any citize,I
knows of it, he is in duty bound to "a,

patriotic course, the only manly methot
of desling with this. If any mar

back. Will there be courag'
ard patriotism enough to give us tn
names of these bribers and to prosecute

tee on Foreign Affairs to-day met to dis
cuss the bill to give effect to the Chinese
treaty, already passed by the Senate. In
the absence of quorum they did not
attempt to take any action, but the tone
OF the discussion showed that all the
members present, without regard to
party, favor a speedy report to the
House. Hill, a member of the commit
tee who has heretofore occupied very
conservative position in the matter Of
Chinese legislation, to-day expressed
himself as being satisfied that the pend

THE AMERICAN PARTY
MIR. WfggintOn to Preside Over tn,
National Convention.

WAsHINGToN, August 13.-The Con-
vention of the American party will begin
here tomorrow. 1t is probable that P.
D. Wigginton, who ran for Governor of
California on the American ticket two
years ago, will be chosen chairman of
the Convention. There is strong ele-
ment in the Convention which
favors the placing OF a Presidential
ticket in the field, but there
is also considerable opposition.
There are too few candidates in the city
to predict what will be done in this re-
spect. Mayor Hewitt is undoubtedly
the choice of the majority of the candi--
dates for President in case he would
accept the nomination. The principal
plank in the platform will be the one
favoring the restriction of immigration,
but other resolutions will favor tie
maintenance of the American school
system and the taxation of church
property.

THE HOUSE.
Pension for Total Deafness Raised
TO Thirty Dollars.

WASHINGTON, August 13.-In the
House, Dubois, of Idaho, offered reso
luton calling on the Attorney Genera
for a list OF pardons granted by the
President to persons convicted of the
charge of unlawful co-habitation in Utah
and Idaho since March A, 1886. Re.
ferred.
The floor was then accorded the Com.
mittee on the District of Columbia. The
first bill came up. authorizing the Com
mission of the District of Columbia tc
condemn property on Rock creek TO,
park purposes, gave rise to a protracted
discussion. The bill was finally recon.
mitted on motion of Matson.
The Senate bill was passed increas ing
to $50 per month the rate Of pension for
total deafness.
Warner, of Missouri, asked unanimous
consent for consideration of the Depend
ent Pension bill, but Walker, of Missouri,
objected.
The House then went into committee
of the whole on the Fertilization Appro-
priation bill, and proceeded to consid-
GRAFTON of the bill by sections.
Townshend raised point of order
against the section providing for gun
factory at Waterville, Arizona, contend
ing that the Committee of Appropriation
had no jurisdiction over this subject, but
that it belonged to the Committee on
Military Affairs.
Sayers antagonized the point, and
quoted from the report Of the Committee
on Rules at the time the present code of
rules was framed, in support of his argu-
ment. Pending decision, the committee
rose and the House adjourned.
NEW BILL.
Representative Lawler, of Illinois, to-
day introduced bill amendatory of the
Interstate Commerce law, providing that
it shall be unlawful for any common car
rier, subject to the provisions of the In
terstate Commerce law, to carry or trans
port any commodity for any shipper in
a car or vehicle, owned, leased or in any
way controlled by such shipper.
OREGON WAGON ROAD GRANTS.
The House Committee on Public Lands
to-day referred to the Sub Committee
the Senate bill declaring the forfeiture of
lands granted to aid in the construction
of wagon roads in Oregon. The Sub
Committe was instructed to consider the
Senate bill in connection with that intro
duced in the House by Holman, which
is more extreme and provides for more
sweeping forfeiture, in accordance with
the recommendations of the Interior De-
pertinent and report to the full Com

OBITUARY.

Died OF fever on the 18th Of August,
1888, after lingering and painful suf-
feling, Hester Ann, daughter of f. NJ. |
and 9. j. Leonard aged II years,
months and days. Hester Ann was
atiable in her manners, amiabIe and
affectionate in disposition, a favorite
in the home circle and with associates,
and without a known enemy, When
informed by the writer that death
would soon claim her as his victim,
and asked about her hopes and pros
poets beyond the grave she calmly an
swered, call is well, | have no fears
or dread God has accepted me; for
given my sins in answer to my prayer
and blesses me with peace" Some
time before this she had expressed
peace Of mind and the New Birth by
prayer and faith, and she expressed a
strong relying faith even to the end Of
life. So passed from the theatre of
life one young, beautiful and full of
hope, just upon the threshold OF
womanhood. The parents did all they
could to keep Hester and called in a
lphysiciar early who attentively used
| his best skill Brothers and sisters
nurscd and stayed by her and did all
| the could, still death made the demand
and Hester breathed her last at 4 10
