POLITICAL POINTS.

1t is said the Republican county cOnven-
ton will be held In the latter part Of July.
The organization Of the School Board
Monday evening next is attracting very
little attention. The Democrats will have q
majority Of one, and they have decided
upon the slate as published by the HERALD.
There is much dissatisfaction over the
Troasurership on the part of the friends OF
those candidates who are not in the deal. The
Democrats, too, have trouble over selecting a
man for Truaut Officer. The party leaders
want James Smith, while one Democratic
Director and probably another, are against
Smith and their friends say they will not
vote for him under no consideration It is
not likely that Smith will secure the plum.

greatest of remedies,
A thorough building up of the disordered
nervous system follows the use of Paine's
celery compound. It dispels harmful humors
from the blood and increases its volume and
at the same time its nourishing capacity. The
power of Paine's celery compound over dys-
pepsia; skin diseases headaches, kidney de-
rangements and other disorders, is unques-
toned by the most competent authorities.
Don't suffer from headaches despondent
spells, melancholia or any form of depression
that comes from indigestion or liver disorder.
Trust Paine's celery compound. You will
not be the first person, nor the second, nor
the hundredth nor the thOusandth it has per-
manenuy and speedily cured of the same
trouble.
The nervous system when deranged is like
a clock without balance wheel that goes too
fast and strikes every few minutes The
nerves need to be regulated or they quickly
run down" just as a clock would do. The
regular, unhurried tic-tic-tic of the heart
means that it is working in healthy manner.
I Palpitation and throbbing point to a danger
GUS lack of nerve force, that sooner or later
will lead to fatal heart failure.
AT the first indication of deficient nerve
force, be it heart trouble or nervousness,
Paine's celery compound should be used to
supply the needed vigor, build up the waning
vitality, drive out disease and guard against
future mischief.

At tho northwest corner of Fourth

penalty for neglect. to attend mass on
holidays was three hours In the stockss
prayer with the rosary had to close the
days labor; the annual communion and
confessional had to be attended, and
certificates were forwarded to the gov
ernor that these requirements had been
complied with.
With the advent Of the Americana"
religious observance cut little figure in
municipal administration. Indeed.
from 1S57-6S Los Angeles was just q
trifle too exciting place Of residence,
for 1t was the rendezvous for an undue
proportion of the bad characters Of the
state, who were desirous Of being within
reach Of the Mexican boundary. The
law officers had been shot down so FREE
quently that the Office of sheriff, worth
$4,000 year, went begging. The re-
volver shared with the courts in the
settlements Of disputes. During one
session of court the majesty Of the law
failed to repress the instructive reliance
OF the American sovereign upon his
weapons. Pistols were drawn and the
Judge, after vainly commanding the
peace, rushed half way up the stairs out
Of harms way and, cautiously peeping
over the railing at the angry disputants
below, testify called out: "Now shoot,
and be id to YOU" And they did.
But this irregular display of misdi-
rected zeal speedily gave way to a more
orderly conduct Of affairs. AS early as
1S45 one Regidor Don Leonardo Gotta had
prayed the Ayuntamiento to petition the
governor for an order upon all the in
habitarts "to plaster and whitewash the
fronts Of their houses" "The time has
arrived" said he in his petition, "for
Los Angeles to figure in the political
world, and although still a small city,
to show its magnificence, SO that the
traveller coming to visit us may be able
to say: I have seen the city Of Los
Angeles; I have seen it's order and gov
ernment, and all announce that it is to
be the Paradise Of Mexico.'
Don Leonardo was the progressionist
Of his time, and there is no smack OF re-
moteness about his words Of pride and
praise Of Los Angeles. 1t Is the same
underlying spirit that has made. and is
making, the city all and more that the
Spanish don would have delighted to
see.
The development Of the city received
temporary check. A dry season in 1856

in 1S63-64. inferior modes Of agriculture

all combined to stagnate business alid
retard the onward march Of progress.
But these setbacks only spurred the city
residents to new activity. In 1860 the
The herald., 1897-12-26

population was only 4500 and in the cen-
sus year of 1880 had increased to 11,1SS.
In the following decade 1t increased to
so, 395, and by the last census, taken
under a special act Of the legislature, the
| 100 900 mark was passed and Los An
geles figures now in the cities of the
| first-class.
Under the old pueblo grant the city's
area extended two Spanish leagues
square around the old Plaza, with the
addition of 400 yards wide on the south
ern boundary. This was equivalent to
an area of little over twenty-nine
square miles, but with the additions
that have been made on the south and
west by the inclusion of certain subur-
ban residential districts the total area
OF the city is now 3757 square miles.
Twelve years ago there were no paved
streets in the city. Today there are
many miles Of graded, graveled and
paved streets, miles Of cement and
asphalt sidewalks, and about $500.00o
was expended last year in general ex-
tension and improvement Of the street
system
In 1868 Jean L. Sausevain, under fran
chise from the city, laid down wooden
pipes in a few of the streets for the dis
tribution of water. that had previously
been brought from the zanjas and the
river on carts. In 1868 P. Beaudry, DR..
John Griffin and S. Lazard excavated q
large basin around the springs on Upper
Alameda street, from which, with a CO.
horsepower engine, 10000 gallons OF
water were raised per hour, forced to an
elevation Of 240 feet. and deposited In
two reservoirs, having a storage capacity
Of 100000 gallons. Thence 1t was dis
tributed through eleven miles of pipes.
These works cost sos. 900, and formed the
nucleus of the present City Water COM
pany's system. The newly organized
company received franchise for sup
plying the city with water for domestic
purposes for a period of thirty years,
the city retaining the right, at the ex-
piration Of that time, to purchase the
existing works and become possessed OF
the rights inhering In the water COM
pany.
With the introduction Of a plentiful
water supply and improved sanitary
conditions, a marked decline took place
in cases Of illness-particularly dysen-
terry. which had been prevalent, and Is
now rare disease. The plant OF the
water company has been several times
extended. and by the last extension to the
rancho Los Feliz and the intricate pip
ing system. including three miles Of SUBJ
