and Santa Cruz, near the coast in the
the central part of the state, the
Coast range has good deal of
the oil-bearing strata. These oil fields
extend in southeasterly direction
parallel with the coast, and clinging to
the coast range. The oil is found nearly
all the way along these mountains. At
Santa Barbara, in Ventura county, at
Newhall and out in the Puente oil re-
gion the developments are rich. The
oil is found again on the Chino, and
away down in old Mexico it crops up
again. The Ventura, Newhall and
Puente wells are paving large profits to
those who own them, and other sections
OF the country possess just as fine signs
of oil as these did when enterprising
people set to work to exploit them.

THE QUESTION IN A NUTSHELL.

The methods pursued by our esteemed
contemporary, the Los Angeles Times,
relate rather to the by-play of logoma-
ches than to dialectics. In an article
of some days past that journal depre-
Gated the agitation for state OF South
California on the ground of the expense
involved in such a scheme. That was
the gravamen OF it's article-neither
more or less. The HERALD responded
with copous statistics showing that
state of South California-on the suppo-
sition that it should be created--could
be maintained on the taxes the southern
counties already pay into the state treas
ury, and that we could save money by
the operation besides. We furnished
the figures of the state expenditures OF
many of the oldest commonwealths OF
the union to sustain our position. Fully
hall of the state governments which
now compose the American union are
maintained ON much less than the pro
rata we now send up to Sacramento on
an iniquitous state assessment, not a
lOlldl VI W llCii C'Sl lCdCllCo US dSdll'
In fact, all this money is practically used
against us. Used here, it would
fructify and vitalize business. Not
word has the Times to say in rebuttal
of this striking refutation of its own
position. With characteristic indirec-
ton and regeneration, it devotes itself
to the frank admission of the HERALD
that the conditions do not exist just now
for an agitation ior state division. At
the same time it represents this journal
as agitating for state division. The
merest tyro in logics can see the tangled
up position OF our contemporary. Our
contemporary is in the attitude of the
acrobat who tries to ride two horses,
each going in an opposite direction.
What the HERALD said, what this jour-
nal believes, is that the gross inequality
in taxation for state purposes between
the two sections creates a perennial
source of agitation which may be tanned
into flame at any moment. What we
proved by copious statistics is that we
could support state government at a
| figure much less in volume than the
money we now send to Sacramento, not
| dollar of which ever returns to vivify
| business in this section.

HERE AND THERE.
California and Illinois for Climate and
Crops.

California and Illinois for Climate and
Crops.
Two men met yesterday in railroad
depot to wait for train. One was a
Los Angeles citizen, who has spent a
quarter of century on the coast; the
other was tenderfoot, fresh from the
prairies OF Central Illinois. The latter
opened discussion by stating that a
man could live longer and make more
money on an Illinois farm 100 miles
south OF Chicago, than he could in or
near Los Angeles. He expressed the
opinion that these statements would
prove themselves true in fair average
of all supposable cases.
Here is the opinion OF the Californian,
who has spent nearly lifetime in the
state:
In this section man lives in an equa-
BILE climate all the year round. He
sleeps under blankets all summer long
and goes without an overcoat nearly
every day in winter. In Hi
nois man freezes night and day
for six months in the year under a
mountain of bedclothes or with six
overcoats on him during the day. He
burns up during four months OF the
summer, and is drowned with excessive
rains for one month in the spring and
fall. Ii he lives indoors most of the
time, in winter he goes out of a room
at 20 or 75 degrees artificial heat, in one
second into an outer air 80 TO 40 degrees
| below zero, a change of fully 125 degrees
in the second. The man who can
endure that long must have the lungs
of a brass monkey, and as matter OF
fact multitudes Of people succumb to
this circumstance by pneumonia in
three days, or by the slow course of
consumption in a few years.
Now as to the profits of farming. A
family of three or four ro-
bust boys on so acres of wheat
or corn land may make by hard
work crop worth, say, $500 to $1,000 g
year on an average. Out of this all the
expenses of living, taxes, new imple-
ments and every other expense must be
met. A family may exist on it, and
each member may buy suit Of clothes
year at a cost of $l2 each. That is do
ing we'll. Here ten-acre fruit ranch,
set to oranges, is worth $2500 to $4,000, or
in some cases $1,000 to $4,000 a year.
In deciduous fruit the ten acres will pro-
duce revenue of $500 to $4,000 a year
or better.
In Illinois the whole family must
work nearly all the year round, and
work hard every day in the week. dn
this section an average of two days in
the week all the year round will do all
| the work needed on ten acres. Look on
this picture and on that, and say which
is the best country to live in?

SECRETARY OF WAR PROCTOR arrived
in Los Angeles yesterday evening after
most fatiguing tour, embracing the
military posts of Arizona, during
which he was accompanied by Cen
eral McCook and the latter's aid,
Lieutenant Baker. The ordeal was a
severe one, often embracing seventy
five miles day by stage. The whole
party was, of course, tired out. Mr..
Proctor sought refuge at the Hotel Ray
mond, where he secured the great desid-
erata of a bath and rest. He will come
to the city this morning as the guest of
General McCook, who will drive him
around Los Angeles and serve him
lunch at the California club. From 2
to 4 p. m. the secretary will receive the
citizens of Los Angeles at the army head
quarters in the Bryson block.

down to their true, value, viz, about a

has heretofore been spent on plaster of
paris statues and on worthless hewings

CHANTICLEER-lTALY TO THE CON-
TRARY.

The gladdest note that any human
being has ever heard, as the awakening
beams of Aurora cross his eyelids, is
the cheerful note of the barnyard
rooster. Clear and high its accents are,
and they are chanticleer. The writer
belonged to the old Democratic party.
He could not fail to do so, because both
OF his grandfathers voted for Thomas
Jefferson. He stood in the line OF what
was regarded as a Democratic success
sion, it was so uninterruptedly after the
| splendid Democratic Renaissance inau-
gurated by Jefferson. He stands by it
still.
| The American states have been happy
in their fearlessness and their luck.
Valor begets luck. 1t was when Caesar
was in the most desperate straits of his
fortunes that, in storm in the bay OF
Naples, he threw his sword into the
bottom of the boat, and exclaimed,
Courage, sailors, thou carryest Caesar
and his fortunes,
That was really declaration worthy
OF even an ONO man.
Italy, after having had her highways
interrupted for countless centuries, by
brigands, who have held up untold
travellers for mutilation, for ransom or
death, has suddenly grown fastidious.
This is an exotic caprice on her part
which few nations, and certainly not
that OF the United States, will indulge.
After robbing and holding up travel
ers for centuries, Italy is sensitive be-
cause few of her immemorial assassins
in New Orleans have been brought to-
ali impromptu justice.
The impromptu judgment of every
level-headed and square-beveled Amer
lean is, let her make the most of it.
Considering the troubles which have
followed fast upon the advent of cheap
Italian labor in the United States, the
feeling of the American laborer is one of
quite pronounced hostility. Ii the fan
tastic attitude of the Italian government
shall continue for week or two, the
real attitude of. this country is to order
all the Italian lazzaioni home.
The idea of terrorizing the people of
the United States is the most hopeless
one ever undertaken. We are told that
there are million Italians in the
United States. Considering the bonn
bastic and unpatriotic way in which
these people and their newspapers talk
we do not want any of them. They
would do well to follow their King Um-
berto, and settle down to the wretched
kind Of food and following they enjoyed
before they enjoyed the privileges of the
home Of the brave and the land OF the
free, into which they have intruded
themselves. The people of the United
States would regard their hegira as a
great blessing.
Meanwhile, never let it be forgotten
that the people of the United States can
attend to their own affairs in good shape,
whether they shall have maccaroni, ver
micili, Italarine, or what, in good do
mestic or imported shape. As to the
Italians within the borders of the
United States, we would suggest that
they should lie low and await develop
ments. As to the Americans who are
spending their money in Italy we would
advise that they should start for home
and stay there.
The American cock is chanticleer, and
he will crow as loudly as ever.

WHERE is THE LIMIT?

The people of Los Angeles have had
years. The fact is, many people are
anxious to know whether there is any
limit whatever to the impudence, venal-
ity and turpitude OF the Republican Of
ficals of this county. From the days
of the Vacquero of San Fernando-the
hades roaring Ell Hammond-down to
the present, aye, and long before the
advent OF that mighty expropriator of
the public moneys-the question has
been, "What will a Republican official
or rplunderer-unfortunately often con-
vertible terms-do next?" On Sat
urday last the debonnair Aaron
Smith, for now these many years a
barnacle on the county clerks office,
presented to Jabez Banbury, the county
treasurer, two warrants, one for $23S. 80
and the other for $244, in favor OF him
self, for services at Sacramento as
clerk of the Los Angeles delegation at
the twenty-ninth session OF the legis-
lature." Mr.. Banbury, after having
been duly paralyzed by their insolence
on Tuesday declined to pay these war
rants, on the ground that they were
illegal.
In the name of all the gods at once,
what are we coming to? Where, oh
where, is the limit to the cheek of this
man Smith? One could exhaust the
polar resources to the north and be
compelled to fall back upon the south
pole without finding anywhere frosting
process which could furnish forth such
cold cheek. Alaska could be searched
in vain, and even Adelia-land towards
