SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA is as yet largely
a region known as terra incognita. The
recent freak on the desert, which has
resulted in the Salton lake, may be the
returning of a cycle of which the
American occupation has no record.
Apparently in Southern California there
has been great increase in the rainfall
during the past decade and half. And
yet this also may be recurrence of a
meteorological cycle as to which we have
no data because the old Spanish-Ameri-
cans kept no systematic records. 1t has
pleased us to ascr!be the increased pre-
scipitation Of the last fifteen years to the
great planting Of trees and to the capil-
larry attraction begotten of the breaking
up and cultivation of the soil. The
HERALD is inclined to take this view of
the matter. And yet there is tradi-
ton amongst the oldest inhabitants
which runs that, before the "Gringoes"
came here, the rainfall was abundant
and drouth was thing unknown. The
water-marks show that the desert has
been once lake or an ocean; the west
ern watern water marks show that there
were once great rains in Southern Cali
fornia. 1t seems to be a question of
history repeating itself.

the absent fog, all these 60 to increase
the attractions OF this popular island.
The fact that the big hotel has not been
opened there this season has caused
some to hesitate about making their an
nual visit to Avalon. But it need not.
There are excellent accommodations and
plenty of them outside of the hotel. The
Avalon house is better hotel than the
Metropole ever was, and there
are numerous family places where
good cheer and comfortable quarters
can be had. We purposely visited the
island yesterday to see for ourselves,
whether the people of Avalon had let
their resort succumb to the sealing of
the doors OF their big hotel, and we
found that they had splendidly met the
crisis, and were ready to receive and
provide for all visitors. We are glad of
this, for we would look upon it as little
less than calamity to have this unique
and favorite summer resort shut out to
"the world and the rest OF mankind"
even for one season.

"Jo Jo" is the greatest mascot in the

The Athletics thought they had gilt
edged cinch yesterday. They were soon
undeceived, however, as the Tufts-Lyon
aggregation batted out eight runs in the
first two innings. The game was the
best of the season and was fairly eXcit-
ing. Owing to the absence Of Longhead,
Redman was obliged to catch. This
change weakened the infield. The errors
made by the Athletics in great meas
ure was responsible for their defeat.
Both pitchers were hit rather lively, but
the victors made the most of theirs at
the right time. McAleer and Gard car

IT Is astonishing what a hold the
island OF Santa Catalina takes upon peo-
pie who love sea sports. We have never
known one of these to go there, no mat
ter what inconvenience he or she might
have to put up with, but ever after had
. strong hankering to repeat the visit
This was so in the ante hotel and steam
transit times; and it is so now. We
have known families, year after year, to
pack. up their household effects and
stores, 60 by train to Wilmington, boat
their goods and their families to Timms's
landing, now San Pedro, camp there on
the sands till the Rosita or some equally
slow craft was ready to sail, make tedi-
GUS passage of from ten hours to two days
across the channel, set up their tent
and spend several delightful weeks
rougbing it at the island. These people,
or their natural successors, may still be
found camping on the beach of what
was then termed Happy Valley, but now
known as Avalon. The secret of this
attachment to Catalina is patent when
analyzed. There one finds the only
three things worth having at a watering
place, namely, clear, buoyant, calm sea
water to swim in, fine boating and un-
equaled fishing. Besides these, it is

managers of our dried fruit and canning
industries from the Mongolian invasion
of field which they have not hitherto
molested. We shall not, therefore, in
this article, trench upon that question.
The thing that attracted our attention
more particularly in the Chronicles
treatment of this latest phase of Mon
golian invasion of hitherto distinctive
ly American line of manufactures was
the fact that the reporter discovered
forty or fifty girls, American or at all
events Caucasian, who were at work
under the orders of the burly Chinese
packars. A high range of wages was
sixty-ive cents day. Some of these
girls were remarkably attractive in their
faces and physiques. What ineffable
vistas of degradation such spectacle
presents! The American people are ad-
vancing or retrograding very rapidly
when mere statement of such
fact fails to fire their blood. As
one OF the prettiest of these girls,
born in San Francisco of Italian parents,
was talking to a reporter, who had
questioned her as to wages, the amount
of work she could do, and so on and so
forth, big Chinese overseer approached
the twain and told her to quit talking
and attend to her work, and this not
withstanding the fact that she
was doing ''piece" work, and
the loss would fall upon her.
self There have been times in the
United States when such an incident as
that would have created great tur-
moil. 1t should now. The spectacle of
American girls lorded over by Mongoli-
ans is not a pleasant thing to contem-
plate. And yet is said that these Chi
nese packers pay larger prices for fruit
than their American rivals, and it is pre-
sumable that they pay satisfactory
wages, as wages CO., or the hu initiating
experience we have recorded could not
be truthfully chronicled. Twenty years
ago it only have needed statement
which we have founded on the columns
of San Francisco contemporary to have
produced something like a riot. We
may we'll exclaim: "Whither are we
drifting?" In this day and year of
grace, under Benjamin Harrison, it
looks very much as if the dial on the
clock of progress was pointing down
ward.

THERE has been nothing which has so
pleased the taxpayers of Los Angeles as
the recent movement OF the city council
in the line OF retrenchment. The HER
AID would be ashamed of itself if it twere
to allow partizanship to cut any figure
in its cordial recognition of this good
work. While the city council have
been earning golden opinions, how is it
with the board of supervisors? Large
as are the sums which have
been controlled by the council,
those which are dispensed by the
board of supervisors are much larger.
We regret to be obliged to say that in
this body we have seen no such spirit as
has characterized our city fathers.
Supernumeraries innumerable seem to
be the order of the day in our county
affairs. AS a specimen brick take the
county hospital. There we have an
official who, not content with his own
high salary, must needs have an assist
ant. Notwithstanding his onerous du-
ties, he manages to maintain profess
sional Office on Broadway and to attend
to his private practice. There is no end
to the Topping off which should be en-
forced in our county affairs. The HER
AID will devote considerable time and
attention to this phase of our public
affairs. The sooner the board of super
visors prepare to initiate our city Off
cials the better it will be for the stand
ing OF these gentlemen in this commu-

The Chicago Tribune, OF July 7th,

The Chicago Tribune, of July 9TH,
contained very elaborate article on the
desert lake at Salton, finely illustrated,
and the pictorial establishment, by the
way, was quite accurate. This journal
istic achievement is doubtless due to the
presence in Chicago of Major Ben G..
Truman, who has a very intimate ac-
quaintance with every feature of the
Colorado desert. While paying this
compliment to the Tribune, it is not
amiss to refer to the fact that the dis
covery Of the lake, and all reliable in
formation which has since appeared in
connection with it, forms one OF those
innumerable scoops" of which the
HERALD makes an every day matter.

FAIR FLORENCE,

She's winsome, sweet-eyed fairy,
With smile so bright and airy,
Midst the roar of sparkling waves;
Clinging lightly to my arm,
Without shadow of alarm,
AS we the surging billows brave.
Then upon the cleaning sands
See those little dimpled hands
Excavating tunnels deep and wide;
Building mounds and fairy dells-
Silvery voice, like tinkling bells,
Ringing out o'er oceans purling tide.
Now she glides o'er ballroom floor,
Softly as bid could soar,
With all the grace of courtly dame;
Floating thro' Che rythmic measures,
Adding to their mystic pleasures
By subtle charms that never wane.
Some say that heaven is far away:
No, it's round us ev'ry day,
And such as Florence, our angel friends;
Purifying our heart and soul,
Purging dross from out the gold,
They can all our faults amend.
