'THURSDAY, JANUARY 1, 1891.
HAPPY NEW YEAR—AND WHY?
The new year opens on Los Angeles
with every promise of a twelvemonth oi
unprecedented prosperity. We have
no reference to any hectic booms—to any
pyrotechnic movements in the real es
tate market. All the conditions exist
here in a remarkable degree for growth
and progress in all lines. We have all
the resources of most growing cities,
and many that no other city has. Los
Angeles and Southern California are un
der no necessity of begging the question.
No phase of prosperity and development
is closed to her, and that fact can be
demonstrated.
Geographically, she has a whole conti
nent behind her. From San Pedro or
Santa Monica to Galveston is the short
est line from tide water to tidewater on
the American continent within the lim
its of the United States. It is scarcely
more than half the distance between
San Francisco and New York, Via the
Central and Southern Pacific rail
ways. The vast back country
of Los Angeles is certain to
fill up i with an enterprising and
go-ahead population during the next de
cade. This region is particularly rich in
minerals, and in variety of the base and
precious metals no equal extent of terri
tory on the globe surpasses it. This
. will naturally, in the not distant future,
j make Los Angeles a great smelting and
| manufacturing center. The only thing
j that has prevented our already becom
• ingone is the fact that fuel has hitherto
j been quite high. As we are practically
on the seaboard, this difficulty will not
exist long. The cheap coals of Alaska
will soon be laid down here at reason
able cost. In addition, the extension of
the Pioche branch of the Union Pacific
f will soon reach Los Angeles, giving us
; another transcontinental railroad and
assuring us the cheap and excellent coal
of southwestern Utah. In order to make
j assurance doubly sure, the extensive de
posits of petroleum in Los Angeles,
Ventura and Santa Barbara counties
guarantee.when they shall be exploited,
an abundance of natural gas, which
has no superior as a fuel. Experts
from Pittsburg and other centers of
natural gas have had no hesitation in
saying that this is as good a country for
gas as any on the continent. Any one
who chooses to drive out Temple street
to the Cahaenga will find frequent evi
dences of the presence of this valuable
fuel.
Not only is the geographical position
of Los Angeles such as to insure her
greatness, but her railway advantages
are incomparably ahead of any other
point on the Pacific coast. We enjoy
the facilities of the Central Pacific rail
way as fully as San Francisco, and we
can ship by that route, via Lathrop and
Sacramento, utterly without regard to
the Bay City. That makes one trans
continental route that is as fully ours as
hers. Then we have the Sunset route
to New Orleans, with a line of steamers
connecting with New York. That is
distinctively our own transcontinental
line. Then we have the Atchison,
Topeka and Santa Fe, which
means also the facilities of the
Atlantic and Pacific and St. Louis and
'San Francisco railways, as the Sunset
route involves all the advantages of a
connection with the Texas Pacific rail
way. To crown a transcontinental rail
way situation absolutely without a rival,
we have an interior road connecting us
with San Francisco, a coast road which
will soon be built to the Bay City, and
local railways that fairly gridiron the
country in every direction. Let anyone
study up the map of the local railways
of the county of Los Angeles, and he
will be fairly amazed at the complexity
and extent of out locai railway system,
to which the Southern California road
has lately added its splendid Belt line.
Not only have we a perfect trans
continental and local railway system,
but we have an admirable cable
one as well. In this respect Los
Angeles is not surpassed by over half
a dozen cities in the United Statqp.
We owe this great improvement to Chi
cago capital. The capacity of our power
houses is only third or fourth in the
United States. On the top of this we
have the Belt Electric roads, which are
just about to be laid down on the most
improved methods in vogne. When
this system shall be completed, no city in
the world will surpass Los Angeles for
local transit, and few will even approach
Iter.
A fine stretch of seacoast, with the
harbor of San Pedro, and a number of
good roadsteads that can readily be con
verted into serviceable harbors, make
the advantages of Los Angeles with re
spect to commerce of the superlative or
der.
Under such circumstances, why should
not the denizens of the richest valley in
THE LOS ANGELES HERALD ' THXTBSDAY MORNING, JANUARY 1, 1891.
the world take a sanguine view of the
future? As the Angelefio eats his green
peas, string beans, grriten corn, spring
lamb, spring veal, broilers, and a
hundred and one other midwinter
delicacies incident to a sub-tropical
climate, why should he not felicitate
himself and contemplate the goose
hanging at a high altitude? Goethe
said that we ought to take care of the
beautiful because the useful will take
care of itself. In this roseate land, na
ture herself has taken the beautiful in
charge; and, during the past three or
four years, we have been taking care of
the useful with a vengeance. Produc
tion nourishes now on all hands, and in
all staples, ranging from the cereal to
the citrus. A land already cleared to
the hand of the farmer, with a soil from
five to a hundred feet deep, with a cli
mate that infinitely surpasses that of
Nice or Mentone, with every charming
range of flora and vegetation, invites
the people of the United States and of
the world to Los Angeles. And they
are coming! They are coming by tens
and hundreds of thousands.
The Herald wishes all its readers a
happy New Year, and it knows that
happiest developments are ahead for
themselves and for the section.
Thh» good people of San Francisco
ought to begin to "whoop" themselves
! up, or they will be left away behind.
They did not make the showing in the
census that they "had oughter" to have
made. The rate of increase for the past
ten years has only been, annually, some
thing a trifle over six per cent. This is
hardly the natural rate of increase.
Still, we take stock in San Francisco.
We even go to the extent of believing
that it is destined to be one of the three
greatest cities of the world. Of late it
has had to witness the growth of Port
land, Tacoma, Seattle, Vancouver, Vic
toria and Los Angeles, apparently all at
the expense of the old time toll-taker by
the sea. Notwithstanding all these
drawbacks, San Francisco has prospered.
In a dogged way she has goue on refus
ing to believe that her star is going
down, and improvements of a splendid
character have been piled up on a
hundred avenues, including the steady
beautifying of her incomparable park.
She will come out in good shape; and,
when she does the butteifly business,
her chrysalis will be a thing to see.
While the prism of her commerce is be
ing restricted just now, a proper enter
prise upon the part of her people will
enlarge it to world-wide proportions.
Her immediate tributary territory is be
ing developed with a rapidity and suc
cess not known in the past. The whole
of California is just now experiencing a
revival of the happiest omen. It em
braces all lines of activity—mining,
manufacturing, agriculture and horti
culture. The fact is beginning to be
realized, that in the golden state lies
the potentiality of supplying a whole
world with fruits of all kinds, and
canned, dried and citrus fruits in
especial. When to this as added the
production and manufacture of all the
; base and precious metals, the horoscope
jof California is seen to be bright in
deed.
| The Herald learns with unfeigned
I regret of the death of Judge Arick, of
Kern county. The deceased had just
I been re-elected judge of the superior
court of that county. He was a noble
man, a sound jurist, a staunch friend
and an honor to his cloth and kind.
There will be much heartfelt sorrow in
California at the untimely taking off of
a distinguished jurist and sterling citi
zen.
THE DOCTOR'S CASE BETTER.
The Evidence Introduced Yesterday
in the Latta Trial.
The trial of Miss Leila Latta was al
most concluded yesterday. The defense
developed considerable strength. The
defendant testified in her own behalf.
She stated that when she was called in
Mrs. Swanton was in a very bad condi
tion and had already been operated up
on, and that she had employed the rem
j edies usually used in such cases by com
! petent physicians. Mrs. Rebecca Lee
i Dorsey testified that Mrs. Swanton had
I called upon her some time between
July 12th and 17th. She wanted
to be examined as to whether she
was enceinte. Mrs. Dr. Dorsey made
tie examination and found evidence
th«t an operation had been performed,
t'tie witness also stated that a physician
had evidently attempted an abortion.
This was important testimony in favor
of the defendant, as it was shown by the
testimony for the prosecution that Mrs.
Dr. Latta was not called on to attend
Mrs. Swanton until July 25th.
John Bryson testified that he had
known Miss Dr. Latta for over thirty
years. He knew her when she was a
little child in lowa, and that her reputa
tion and standing was of the very best.
After the introduction of several wit
nesses in rebuttal, the lawyers will argue
the case on Friday.

WARRING RAILROADS.
A VERT COMPLICATED ( SITUATION
AT OMAHA.
Union Pacific Officials in a Peck of Trouble
Over the Bridge Affair—The Wabash
Dons Its War Paint.
Associated Press Dispatches.
Omaha, Dec. 31. —A temporary injunc
tion was granted on petition of Ernest
Stull, of Omaha, to prevent the $150,000
bonds issued by the city to aid the
Union Pacific railroad in the construc
tion of a union depot here, from being
turned over to that company. The in
junction is based on the grounds that
the Union Pacific should allow all roads
access to the depot on reasonable terms,
and that it now shows a disposition to
violate its contracts. The hearing was
set for January sth.
The Milwaukee officials made no fur
ther attempt to move trains today.
Their attorneys, on Friday, will ask
Judge Doane to commit the assistant
general manager of the Union Pacific
for contempt in failing to have the order
of the court, complied with. The Mil
waukee representatives claim that the
Union Pacific tore up the track within
an hour after the service of the restrain
ing order on Holcoinb. The Wabash
road has discovered that it had an inter
j est in the track torn up, and has donned
its war paint.
Alter the order was served on the
Union Pacific last night, and that com
pany learned from the court that St.
Paul trains could come across the
bridge, an attempt was made to bring a
j fast train on the latter road from Coun
cil Bluffs. The train progressed bat a
| short distance when it was brought tu,a
; standstill by the tracks being torn up
i for 150 feet. An attempt was made to
| take the train over another route, but
the switch was found blocked by an
engine ordered there to keep the train
from going through.
Summons were served tonight on Gen
eral Manager Clark and other officers of
the Union Pacific railroad, commanding
them to appear before Judge Doane
Saturday, and show cause why they
should not be fined for contempt in vio
lating the injunction forbidding inter
fering with the movement of Milwaukee
trains.

years, and lately adopted by many of the sav
ing banks of the United States.
The Design
Of this institution is to afford a safe depository
for the earnings of all persons, from 5 Cent* to
$5000, and at the same time earn for them a
fair rate of Interest.
THE 5 CENT STAMP SYSTEM.
This bank will distribute to its agents a suffic
ient quantity of red five cent deposit stamps, a •
little larger than tho ordinary two cent postage
stamp, and each purchaser of one five cent de-
Eosit stamp Is furnished with a stau p deposit
ook free, beautifully colored, with ten pages,
each page ruled for twenty stamps, and when
filled tcprescnts one dollar, which is torn out
by the depositor and sent to the bank, either
directly or through one of the agents; the bank
then issues to them a regular ordinary pasa
book with the credit of a dollar, which will bo
sent to the depositor or agent: the depositor
then begins to 1111 another leaf with stamps,
which is sent or brought to the bank when full,
and so on. Any number of leaves can be de
posited at the same time, or the depositor can
wait until he or she has filled the book, and
bring or send It to the bank and receive an ordi
nary deposit book with the credit of tea dollars.
Each page when filled is Onb Dollar. Each
depositor must sign a registry card containing
your name, age, address, and number of stamp
deposit book, and when depositor can not write,
agent will witness depositor's mark. '1 hese de
posits will bear five and three per cent, interest,
according to the by-laws of the bank.
