ssWhat good are the ordinary rail
road maps to a traveller" was ques'
tion overheard by a HERALD repre-
sentative not long since, while stand
inc ON the sidewalk, The man who
asked the question looked as if he
had seen good deal Of the world--as
If he had travelled considerably, and
had suffered from the ordinary rail.
road maps" The question repeated
itself time and again to the HERALp's s
representative, and he determined tc
examine the maps, and if possible
i've to the readers of the HERALD
something that would be Of use to
them.
It was found that the maps gave
only the routes of the road that
Issued them, that it was impossible
to gain any idea Of what stations
there might be upon another road,
and also that the maps were so
arranged that only an employee OF
the issuing company could gain any
useful knowledge from them without
very close and long study. The idea
then presented itself, why not
remedy the defect?' The companies
would not, SO the newspaper man
concluded to try his hand at the
business.
Not having had any experience OF
the kind the HERALD's man found
the undertaking an enormous one,
and it was only after many days and
nights of untiring labor, both mental
and physical, that plan suitable for
publication in newspaper was
formed. The idea was to make set
of tables that would be Of use to ev-
cry family in Los Angeles county
which, at glance, would show any
one wishing to make trip exactly
how to arrive at the intended desti-
nation. In addition to this it was de-
cided to show every postof1ice and ex-
press Office in Los Angeles county
and how they were reached, as well
rs those upon and adjacent to the
lines of railroad running from this
city to San Diego, San Bernardino,
Mojave and Santa Barbara, the cost
Of q trip to any of the points named,
and the cost Of sending an express
package. The distances from Los
Angeles were figured out fractionally,
as we'll as the distance between each
station, each postoffice and each ex-
press office. It was decided to give
only a single trip rate, as the price OF
the round trip tickets vary according
to the time of making the purchase.
The selecting Of an express rate was
one Of the most unsatisfactory por-
lions Of the work, as the rates vary ac-
cording to the size and quality of the
package as well as to the destination.
After several consultations with the
agent of Wells, Fargo & Co., it was
agreed that rate given for 100 pounds
TO each destination would be of more
service to the general public, as it
would at least give some idea of what
the probable cost would be to send a
smaller package. The United States
postofiices, as given, show every one
In Los Angeles county on or off the
railroads and how they are supplied.
The list as given now may change at
any moment as the Postoflice Depart
ment is establishing and discontinue
ing Offices constantly.

Los Angeles Abstract Company

For the past ten months an able
corps of abstract men, including many
experts brought from the cities of the
East, have been busy night and day
at the Recorders Office, obtaining a
complete copy OF all matters of record
there on file.
Complete copies of every deed and
mortgage recorded in connection with
real property in Los Angeles county,
can be correctly duplicated from the
books OF the company. All instru-
ments are posted under the property
system, under the various subdivi-
sions. By this plan given the loca-
ton OF a lot, the owner and all docu-
ments recorded thereon, can be de-
termined at once.
1t was an arduous work to complete
a set Of books SO voluminous under a
different system, and now that the
work is completed at an expense OF
nearly $4,000, this furnishes most
necessary assistance to the immense
real estate business transacted. The
Assessors work is simpliied, and the
long list Of unknown ownership need
no longer exist.
The work done and valuable lnfor-
nation form ulated, has brought an ex-
tensive patronage to the offices of the
company, and more commodious
quarters will be occupied on January
lst, 1888, situated on the corner OF
New High and Temple streets.
The capital paid in of the Abstract
Company is $4,000, with the follow
ing officers: FL. s. Parcels, President;
.. A. Laying, Vice President; L. G.
Brand, Treasurer; E. w. Sargent,
Secretary.
A Title Insurance Company, COM
posed OF the above named and others,

is youched for and an assurance Of its
correctness. >

similar work for Bolso, Capistrano,
Newport and Tustin City. Capistrano

the rate on 100 pounds is high,
amounting to 1928 from Los Angeles.

There being no postof1ice on this
line, all mail is held at the Office in

station agent, the package is carried
TO the nearest point where there is
one and left. The express company
will during this month establish an
agency at Port Ballona, when rate
will be made for that point. The
postofiice department will very likely
also establish postoiiices and give the
route railway mail service. As yet,
however, no steps have been taken.

CoHAssETT, Mass. - IL is reported
here that the Philadelphia steam col

that the steamer was sunk on some of the
Lodges directly outside of this port. At
about two p. N. Sunday number of
people at the village heard the sound Of
a steamers whistle and Tuesday night an
immense amount of drift wreckage
came ashore at Sandy Cove,
and on Sandy Beach, marks
upon which indicated conc!usively that
the Wreckod vessel must have been the
Allentown. Several life preservers ara
some other wreokage was stamped With
her name. The Allentown cleared from
Philadelphia the 21st inst. for Salem,
Mass, with 1860 tons of coal. She was
commanded by Captain 0diorne and had
a crew of eighteen men, who doubtless
persisted. The vessel is one of the Phil
