Weather In the Cahuenga.

EDITORS HERALD-Up to 12 m. Friday
the rain for the season at this point
(Cahuenga mountains) was 35 and 3.1O
inches. At old Monte Vista, the old
Lindley place, it was about 80 inches,
showing difference of 5 inches in less
than two miles. The difference in alti.
tude is 300 feet, which is the reason 70,
the increase of condensation. In these
cool, moist days the wood-fire is appre.
ciated, and the ease with which this
luxury is obtained in the California
mountains is an inducement to settle
ment, even il there were no other induce.
ments. With mattock one may take
from the ground roots enough in ten
minutes to keep warm all the twenty
four hours.
Notwithstanding the amount of rain,
the ground does not appear to be excess
sively wet. The fact is, that the mountain
lands seldom become so, however much
rain falls, and the beauty of the situation
is, that the moisture stays longer than
on the plains. One of the reasons for
the tree and shrub growth here is this
capacity to retain moisture. Nine-tenths
of the area of the'State is hills and
mountains. On this vantage ground
rests our certainty of empire within a
generation. The Coast range contains
millions of homes yet unoccupied and
unclaimed that have the soil, fuel, water
and climate superior to any fiat land
anywhere. Some few farseeing people
have taken advantage of knowledge oil
these facts and located accordingly
while the many seek the lowlands or
the vicinity of some town. In choosing
a home the factor of health is big item.
1t is better to be miles away from the
valleys and towns on the score of health,
even if one does work for smaller inn
mediate sum. In the end it is true
economy. With good book or news
paper one can choose his own company
which is not always the case where
neighbors are too near; and then the
orchestra of nature is no mean substitute
for the more artificial music of paid
choristers. F. M. SHAW.

way to anything witnessed on the stage,
and we'll merited the encore it received.
After the completion Of the tableaux,
songs and dancing were enjoyed by the
young people present until late hour,
when the company separated amidst
mutual and general wishes Of happiness
and prosperity for the new year. The
generosity and kindness of the hosts was
much appreciated by the guests, who will
remember with feelings of pleasure this
first party of the year 1890.

A THOROUGHFARE WANTED.
The West Enders aud Crown Hills
People Meet.

The West Enders aud Crown Hills
People Meet.
A joint meeting of the West End
Board of Trade and the Crown Hills
Board of Trade was held on Friday even
ing, for the purpose of discussing the
establishment of a thoroughfare to the
center of the city. Upon request City
Engineer Eaton gave his opinion about
the thoroughfare. He said that plan
which involved the cutting down of
Second street to traffic grade was i'm
practicable because of the expense,
which he estimated at nearly 5000, 900,
not including the damage to property.
70 tunnel the hill on Second street he
thought would cost less than 5000, 900,
exclusive of damage to property, and
was the most practicable thing to under
take. The tunnel he proposes would
enter the hill this side of Olive streets
and come out on the west side about
Hope street. It would be thirty feet
wide aud twenty-five feet high, and the
entrances would be so arranged as not to
interfere with the street or track, or
seriously obstruct traffic to and from the
hilltop. The expense should be met by
assessments on property along the pro-
posed thoroughfare and near it.. The
assessments would range from fifty cents
to several dollars front foot, according
to location.
The following resolutions were adopted !:
First. That the Council be requested
to re-establsh the grade of First street
from the west city line to Lucas avenue,
and of Lake Shore avenue and Second
street to east side of Hope street, and
Second street from Hill street to Fort
street, so that no grade on said street
shall exceed rise of four feet in one
hundred: and
Second. To widen Second street from
Figueroa street to Bunker Hill avenue to
eighty feet.
Third. That in view of the great ex-
pense of cut at Bunker Hill and Grand
avenues, and the necessarily long delay
in accomplishing the same, your commit
tee would recommend, as temporary
means of getting immediate benefit OF
street without expense of the cut, that
tunnel be constructed under the hill on
Second street, from Hope street to Olive
street, on grade not to exceed four feet
in hundred.
A resolution was also passed authoriz-
ing the Street Committee to have the
necessary ordinances drawn to re-estab-
lish the grade and formulate the district
OF assessment.

The Goose that Lays the Gold
en- Egg.

The Ouachita Telegraph Bulletin
hits the Lottery question right in
the following paragraphs:
" From all that we can gather from
the pro lottery press, the favorite
ground which will be urged on legis-
tors for re-chartering the Lottery is
that it is the goose that lays golden
eggs for Louisiana It is said that
it brings millions of dollars into the
State and makes money cheap. Tits
said that it collects but three per cent
of its revenues from the people of the
State and 81 per cent comes from
abroad Hence, it is said, the State
is great financial winner and that
the lottery gamblers not only come
down literally in support of charity
but they build public institutions,
establish new enterprises, develop the
resources and add to the wealth of
the State. In other words, the Lot
terry is painted as the greatest bless
ing and noblest financial institution
in the State.
Snow, nobody believes this. All
gambling is alike and all gamblers are
curse to any community. They are
non producers. They are drain and
burden. Like paupers and criminals
gamblers are 6 charge on society.
"But suppose we admit the facts as
stated, then what is the true meaning
of the argument? We can afford to
be robbed of 3 per cent in order that
our fellow-citizens of other States
may be robbed of 81 per cent! We
can afford. to bear the odium of legal
izing gambling if it bring the golden
fleece from neighboring States. This
was the argument of the pirates of
Barataria when they cut the Threats
and scuttled the ships of the Spaniard.
''Those who agree that we can afford
to be impoverished and demoralized
and corrupted by the Lottery if it
will only impoverish others more than
it does US certainly have made new
discovery in the science of political
economy. But we challenge the cor
reetness of their position. The golden
stream that flows from other States
returns in a current of disappoint-
ment, disgust and hate. What our
gamblers gain our merchants and
planters lose. A State cannot flourish
or be built up on the proceeds of vice.
Our prestige is destroyed, our honor
is stained, our commerce is injured,
our society is debased, our people are
impoverished, and, above all, our
politics are corrupted and controlled
by the Lottery. Does the money we
receive compensate for such wrongs
as these? Let the legislator who is
tempted to pamper the goose that
lays the golden but stolen eggs re
member what Burns said:
Tho honest man, though e'er sac poor,
Is king o. men for a that T.

PLAIN DEALING, La, MAR. 29, 80.
Editor Bossier Banner: As the
lottery question will be the an-im-
portant one for the next General AS
sembly to discuss and fight over, and
as the people of the State should
have their say on the subject through
the votes of their Representative and
Senator; now, / think it nothing but
right and proper for them, to know
what the majority of their constitu-
ents. have to say on the subject, and
would suggest that the anti-LotterY
people form clubs in each ward, and
draw up some instrument of writing
setting forth their wishes in the
premises. Which instrument should
be forwarded to the various Senators
and Representatives, thereby giving
them an idea of how their constitu-
ents would like for them to vote.
I am glad to- see that the Farmers
Alliance has again added fresh honors
to their noble order, by declaring
themselves against this pernicious
evil.
/ have heard it asked time and
again why the press of the State has
so little to say on the subject, and
have heard it answered that they
were afraid to express themselves,
not knowing how the people stood on
the matter. Is it possible that this
gigantic and State-fostered institu-
ton has SO much power and influence
that it can hold the press and people
of the State spell-bound. If SO, it is
certainly time that it should cease,
for it is alike becoming dangerous to
the morals of our young men, and
dangerous to our liberty.
/ would like to hear from some
older and wiser head on the subject,
and would also like to have an ex-
preston from our Senator and Rep
resentative, believing, in the mean
time, that such an expression would
be an honor to themselves and the
people whom they serve.
This portion of Bossier is remark
ably quiet, and from early morn un.

Weather and Crops.
Extracts from Weather Crop Bulletin of the
Louisiana Weather Service for the week
ending Saturday, March %, 1890.

The weather during the past week
has been very favorable to the plant
ing interests in North Louisiana; corn
planting has been in operation during
the past seven days, and in some Of
the central parishes it is reported as
well up and quite good stand.
Farmers are busy preparing land
for cotton, and the early garden
truck, replanted since the freeze of
the early part of the month, is doing
well.
There has been deficiency of one
inch of rainfall in North Louisiana,
with temperature and sunshine
above the average; these conditions
being very favorable in their effects
In counteracting the cold wave of the
early part of the month.
Reports from South Louisiana are
very encouraging: The damage from
the freeze will not be nearly as great
as was at first thought, and viii not
set back the crops to any extent,
with the exception of the fruit trees,
that are generally in bad condition.
The cane is improving under the
favorable temperature and sunshine
conditions that have been prevailing
lately.
Planters in st. John parish are
troubled by the back water coming
from the Nita crevass, and the loss in
that section as well as in river par
iahes affected by overflow cannot vet
be estimated.
The rainfall in Sonth Louisiana
during the past week was deficient
by nine-tenths of an inch, but the
soil was benefited by this deficiency,
having been thoroughly saturated
several weeks ago.
The prospects are generally favor
able throughout the entire State for
all crops.
