A BRAVE DEED.
How Boy Was Saved From
Drowning.

EDITORS HERALD-I desire to inform
you of an incident that occurred here on
the 23d Of the present month, during the
food. About 3 80 in the afternoon the
Ballona creek was overlooked for half a
mile on both sides. There was a boy
about IA years old sent on an errand
toward the Sentous slaughter house.
When he came to the second bridge this
side he found a couple of Mexicans sit
ting on their wagon over the bridge, be-
ing afraid to venture on their way home
on account of the food. When the boy
referred to above came to the bridge both
men advised him not to proceed any
further, as the water was deep and very
swift. Nevertheless he insisted in going
ahead with horse and buggy. The very
minute he went into deep water he was
whirled along as fast as the current was
flowing, and to the surprise Of ten or
twelve men that had arrived there on
horseback, one of the Mexicans that
were sitting in the wagon on the bridge,
named Manuel Villa, plunged into the
creek, and swimming down the current
until he came to the boy, who was rolling
along with horse and buggy, seized
the boy by the back OF his coat. The
boy Immediately got on Villas back and
they were twice lost to sight. The third
time that their heads appeared out of the
water the valiant Villa seized the boy by
the hair and pulled him ashore. He
then took off his clothes and swan othe
horse and buggy three hundred yards
down the creek, and saved the horse
through brush, planks, trees, posts,
barb. wire and all sorts Of rubbish. be-
lieve not one man out hundred would
undertake to do this. Villa was without
a second coat for his back, which he lost
together with his hat. Don Francisco
Higuera then appeared with noble
heart and dry suit of clothes for the
courageous Villa. and Don Alfonso de
Toro presented him with hat.

University Place,

The lectures of the Rev. W. s. Matt
hew, pastor of University church, deliv.
cred on Sunday evening, are attracting
much interest. On Sunday evening last
the congregation was but half represent

many who were not present are anxious
to hear the third in the course. The fol-
lowing paper will, therefore, explain
itself:

Mr.. 7. E. Brown is laying foundation

Mr.. Brown.
The flooding Of our village last We'd
nesday, turning our streets into rivers
and inundating yards and gardens, is a
thing to be avoided if possible. We do
not exactly know who is responsible, but
it is certain that the food came as q re-
suit, not Of the surface water falling from
the clouds, but of flow of surplus water
from the city zsnja. Who will deliver
us from this nuisance? U. N. I.

The strawberry GuavA.

EDITORS HERALD-One of the most
beautiful and productive evergreen
shrubs that grow only in our semi-trop'
ical climate. is the strawberry guava.
Everybody admires it's rich foliage and
white flowers; we all like the juicy tart
ness of the brown berries, and of jellies
none can compare with that made from
guavas. The fruit ripens in September,
October and November. The plants
are raised from the seed, aud bear
fruit the first year. The crop is exceed
lngiy profitable. This year (1SS9) the
price has been So to $40 per 100 pounds,
wholesale the retail price is Is cents a
box. Plants eight to twelve inches high
can be bought at the nurseries. They
should be set out eight feet apart each
way, or 676 plants to the acre. They
grow very rapidly in the open ground,
and bear an abundant croo
the first year after transplanting, or two
years from the seed. No fears of over
production need be entertained. If the
demand for fresh fruit should be over
supplied, the canneries will buy all the
crop at remunerative prices for making
jelly. The area of production of guavas
in the United States is greatly
limited, the character Of the plant
being decidedly semi-tropic. If guavaa
are grown in young orange orchards be-
tween the trees they will yield large
profits from the first year and surely
maintain the orange grower while he
waits five years for his first crop Of
oranges. Hedges of guava shrubs are
very ornamental with their glossy ever
green foliage, white flowers and pretty
berries. The guava resembles in taste
the strawberry, but is far more valuable
for shipping to supply the eastern
market, as it can be picked before it il
quite ripe and will mature in transit. A
Tourney of ten or even fourteen day
will not injure the fruit in tn,
least. The strawberry guava il
a very valuable fruit for Southern Cali
fernia, but as yet it is hardly known
Those few, however. who have raised i
for profit are setting out more of tn
shrubs every year.

Time was when revenue officers had to

A warrant was necessary to enable the

the Commissioner Of Internal Revenue
issued circular letter to the Collectors,
which makes it the duty of all Collectors
and their deputies to act as spies, and
gives them authority to enter any prem
