The handsomest special number that
has been issued from any newspaper Of
fee in Southern California for years is
the one just sent out by the Los Angeles
HERALD. 1t contains forty.eight pages
beautifully illustrated and replete with
interesting and valuable facts and figures
relating to Los Angeles county, and
some brief references to other portions
of this end of the state. A fine photo
engraving of the mammoth grape vine at
Montecito appears among the illustra-
tlons, with the following legend: "Tra-
dition says that more than one hundred
years ago lordly Spanish don was out
riding horseback with his fair sefiorita.
The steed WAS tired with the burden that
he carried, for they rode double in. those
days, SO the don cut grapevine twig
and gave it to his sweetheart to whip the
horse. On her arrival home she planted
the vine to commemorate happy Incl
dent in her life. The vine grew, while
generations came and went, to the size
represented in the picture, it's branches
spreading over many acres, it ia said
and great-granchildren of the don and
sefiorita now eat of its luscio us fruit. -

The Los Angeles Herald has Just
published magnificent illustrated edi-
tion descriptive OF Los Angeles city and
county. The illustrations are in the
highest style of art, and the whole forty
eight pages are filled with descriptive
matter, statistics. etc., showing the
progress, resources and advantages of
Los Angeles. And it is just such edi-
tions as this that have built up Southern
California. Far and wide over the
world they have spread the fame of
that section, until for while Los An
geles was almost the only place heard of
as belonging to California. And the
people there know how to appreciate
and reward the enterprise and courage
of~the newspapers. The publication Of
the present edition of the HERALD has
doubtless cost its publishers small
fortune, but such is the royal liberality
of the people that its revenues will
leave handsome profit. In this re-
spect Los Angeles people have set an
example to the rest of the state which
should be more closely followed.-[San
Jose Herald.
