Every one is busy farming Some
have planted corn, while some say it is
time enough yet.
While stock generally looks well,
some show the effects of the scarcity of
feed. We wish to say to all our broth
er farmers, as we often have before,
SOW rye! for if you only get the fall and
Spring pasture, you will say it pays.
Our cattle have not been fed since the
first OF March, and they look we'll just
rye pasture.

A MOST extraordinary concentration oi
suspicious circumstances has led to the
arrest of the engineer of the Rochester
Steam Gauge and Lantern factory, which
was burned down few days since with
such accompanying horrors. Thirty
three bodies have already been taken
from the ruins, and it is believed there
are yet remaining some twelve or thir-
teen. The carser of the engineer has
been marked with fire disaster wherever
he has worked, whether in factory, store
or on railroad. Either this man has
been exceptionally unfortunate, or he has
been monomaniac incsndiary. If the
latter, and it can be shown that he de-.
liberately caused the last terrible cal.
amity, he should be speedily rendered
incapable Of gratifying his fendish pro-
cliyitv.

The assignment of General Nelson A
Miles to the command of the Department
of the Pacific, with headquarters at Sar
Francisco, is in one sense pleasant an.
nouncement to his friends, who are glad
of his promotion to wider and more
important sphere of the professional
action, but in another sense it is q
source of sincere regret to every Los
Angelef1o to loose from their midst
one of the most charming and
popular military commanders in
the service. During his residence here
General Miles has become so naturalized
to our community, that we all feel that
we are suffering a severe loss by his re-
moval to another department. He and
his charming consort will leave the 30
cial circles of our city disconsolate over
their absence from the contemplated
pleasant reunions of this winter. But
all will send with them their best wishes
as they 60 to their new home.

The West Sewer Systam,

EDITORS HERALD-Referring to articles
in your paper on the above named sys
tenn few words in its behalf seen
necessary to enlighten your correspon
dents and readers.
There has been a constant hue and
cry about taking care of the sewerage
and scientific experts in conjunction
with the City Council were cslled here
to adopt system that would be effec-
tive, and it was about decided that an
outfall sewer to the sea was the only re-
lief for the city and call was to have
been had for an election to vote $3.50, 600
bonds to build the sewer to the sea-
when General Snyder came here from
Philadelphia representing the West
Sewer System and treated with the CITY
Council to adopt this system. The rea.
sons for adopting it, as has been done by
this city, are as follows:
First. 1t will give immediate relief to
the city, that is within four months
time.
Second. The actual cost to the city is
nominal as compared with the cost of
building the sewer to the sea.
Third. Instead of throwing this valua-
Ole sewage into the sea, it will be util
lied in fertilizing and irrigating what is
now comparatively barren land, thus
adding in time several millions to the
assessment roll.
Fourth. If the Pacific Sewerage Com.
pany have such good thing. it is within
the power of the city under it's contract
to own the whole plant for less than the
cost OF building the sewer to the sea.
Fifth. The South Side Irrigation Com
pany has notified the city time and again
that they could not take care of the sew.
age under their contract, and already
there are several injunction suits fled in
consequence thereof.
Sixth. A correspondent in one of the
dailies, signing himself as "R. A.. ~
OF London" criticizes the system. He
says that in the event of the plant not
working some night when heavy rain
storm comes up, on account of the storm
drains, etc, they would back the sewa ~
up and thus create sewer gas. If this
gentlemen would take pains to enon;ro
he would find: First, that storm drains
are not connected with the sewers: and
secondly, that it is impossible for tho
West system ever to get out of order so
that the sewage could back up in the
The proposition made to the Council
oy the West Sewer system is fair one.
as the actual cost of the proposed plant
without pumping station will cost sS0
OOo, and for which the com pany receives
only $4,000. The Company expects, and
reasonably 80 too, to make it's money in
handling and disposing of the sewage.

SAN FRANCISCO, Novemb Der 14.-The
official canvass of the city election was
resumed this morning, and while the
mistakes found in the certified returns
are somewhat numerous, they are
yet too small to be considered
serious, unless they should all lean the
same way and are oft-occurring with the

be serious where the contest is close.

Congressional district have not vet been

HIS PAL PEACHED ON HIM.
Benjamin f. Atherton, formerly a
searcher of records at Los Angeles, and
for some time secretary or co.worker
with DR.. Griffin, gave evidence in court
to-day that be had written words in
Spanish for Griffin, similar to those
which were sent to Dunsmuir, He also
swore that the letters received by Duns-
muir we're in DR.. Griffin's handwriting
and that the addresses on the envelopes
were also in his handwriting. He also
swore that letters threatening the life OF
Mr.. Howard had been posted by witness
and written by Griffin.
WHY ATHERToN LEFT LOS ANGELES.
The examination of Atherton was con-
tinued this afternoon, and the witness
swore positively to the fact that the hand
writing in the letters was Griffin's. On
a long cross-examination the only devel-
opment was Atherton's statement that he
left Los Angeles because of proceedings
against him for perjury, which he plaus.
IDLY explained. The case was adjourned
until Saturday, the prisoner remaining in
Jail. His wife was in court during the
proceedings.

PROPERLY enough the Immigration
Committee of the newly organized
Chamber of Commerce says the sort OF
incomers most needed here at present il
people with means to buy small farms,
and with disposition to live on them
and improve them. Butter, cheese, eggs,
poultry are all being brought into this
city from the valley of the Mississippi.
All these ought to be produced here.
Chinese vegetable venders can afford
to pay $25 per acre rental
for lands on which to pro-
duce their truck. These rentals are
steadily rising and will soon be 800 per
acre. Farm hands can work in this eli.
mate in perfect comfort three
hundred days in the year.
Three crops of potatoes q year can
be harvested from irrigated lands. Six
and eight crops of hay year may be cut
from moist lande. With large lot of
chickens, with small fruits and vegeta-
bles, an industrious family can clear
81 900 year off five acres Of good land.

EASTERN tourists are pouring into the
semi-tropics at lively rate just at pres
ent. They are arriving to the tune of
about one thousand week, and The pace
will be greatly accelerated later on.
Those getting here these present days
find climate which must be to their
taste. 1t is credibly reported of the new
arrivals that they are mostly home
seekers rather than mere tourists. There
is ample room in this county alone for
one thousand families to settle down
and do well on small farms. There is
money in it.

To be sure, there are good many nice

sixty miles of Los Angeles. In all these
towns there are also some vacant houses
awaiting tenants. Big as the rush Of
visitors is likely to be, we shall be able
to care for them all in one way or
other. But the fact remains
that houses near into the center
OF this city are very scarce and that nice
houses in any part of the pueblo will
soon be hard to find. 1t is also bevond
question that houses pay a very good in.
terest on their cost. Then the further
fact remains that it is the immediate and
particular business OF the business men
OF this city to keep up their Gown row, -
to borrow a phrase not altogether
Addisonian. The moral is that men in
Los Angeles who own unimproved
lots and have little spare
cash could not do better than build
houses on them. Those who are Gland
poor" would do we'll to sell one out of
every three lots they have, build on the
second, and let the purchaser build on
the one sold. The remaining lot will
thereby be doubled in value.

Of steady prosperity never stopped for a

more than day or so at time. Nor
will this era of growth, OF steady pros
perity, come to an end. The develop
ment of our resources has only begun.
No man need fear to put his capital, his
energy and his brains into this good
work. For six years there has been a
cry every winter that the supply OF
houses for rent was not equal to the de-
mand. Year by year we have all gone
along feeling our way in most conserva-
tive manner, fearful OF OVERRIDING the thing.
What is the result? Why houses are
even more difficult to find at the opening
Of the sixth season than they were at the

servative policy will now be pursued
and a year from now there will be
Just as active demand fol
