SATURDAY. JANUARY SI. 1801.
WHY LOS ANGELES IS SPECIALLY FOR
TUNATE.
There are great numbers of people
now in Los Angeles county who know
very little about its meteorological con
ditions, which are quite peculiar. For
six years past the rainfall in this county
has been not only plentiful but redun
dant, thus leaving many of our new
settlers in ignorance of the status of
this county in what is known as a dry
year.
It by no means follows that the
present will be a dry year. But if it
should be, it is well that certain facts
should be borne in view. One of them
is that never in the history of Los An
geles county have the crops been in such
splendid condition as they are now up
to date. An inch of rain during the
next ten days to two weeks, and a few
trifling showers thereafter, would assure
us the biggest crops of the cereals that
have ever been grown in this county.
Daring the years of heavy rainfall, such
as last year, for instance, our moist and
bottom lands were comparatively use
less. They were so soggy and flooded
that it was impossible even to plough
them.
Tbe fact should be remembered that
no county in tbe state is better capable
of standing a dry year than Los Angeles,
unless San Bernardino be the exception.
This arises from the immense area of
oar irrigated and mois: and bottom
lands. Even if our mesa farmers
should suffer from a lack of precipita
tion this year, the yield from our irri
gated, moist and bottom lands would
probably insure a greater amount of
money as the return from the crops than
if the rainfall had been more abundant.
Of course the money would not be so
generally distributed, but it would find
its way into the hands of Los Angeles
producers, all the same.
The Herald has already pointed out
the fact that the oi ange crop is already
assured. In addition, it is the largest
known in years. Our vineyards depend
almost wholly on irrigation, and the
sources of supply for our flumes and
ditches were never more prolific than
now.
It is fourteen years since Los Angeles
county has known a year of drouth. To
reach such an experience we are obliged
to go back to tbe season of 1876-77. In
that year our total rainfall was only
4.86 inches. During the same period
there were at least three years of posi
tive drouth in such states as New York,
Pennsylvania, Ohio and Missouri.
That famous season was a severe one
on Los Angeles county because then our
productive industries were largely sheep
and cattle raising. In that year we had
no grass whatever. Now, while of
course a more abundant rainfall would
have given us more plentiful alfilerilla,
the grass nevertheless has had a good
start, and grass is not the important
item with us now that it was then.
Judging by the past, if Los Angeles
county shall be obliged to fall back upon
her moist, bottom and irrigated lands,
in nearly all the other counties of Cal
ifornia there will be a total failure of
the orops. While we heartily
hope that no such grue
some experience will be chronicled,
we have a right to point to the excep
tionally prosperous condition in which
it will leave our own favored county.
Even in the year 1870-77 there were
certain agricultural developments that
proved the exceptional capabilities of
oar soil in seasons of minimum rainfall,
in that year Mr. Dan Freeman, of the
Gentinela rancho, concluded to retire
from the sheep business and to embark
in farming the cereals. It is on record
that the results were most satisfactory
from a pecuniary standpoint.
It is of course quite possible that Feb
ruary may prove to be a month of great
precipitation. If so, the crops of this
county will be large beyond precedent,
and both the mesa and the lowland
farmer will have cause for rejoicing. But
if it should not be, we have said enough
to show that the position of our
own favored region is impregna
ble. There are few sections of the
world of which the same thing can be
said with truth. Los Angeles and San
Bernardino counties will this year send
four thousand car-loads of oranges to the
east. Our vineyards may be relied upon
for the greatest yield known for three
years. Our alfalfa fields will yield abun
dantly of the rich Chilian clover, which
may be counted upon for from six to
eight crops a year. Our irrigated lands
will yield two crops of potatoes and one
of beans a year. Our orchards of all
grades, both deciduous and citrus, will go
straight along. Our yield of the cereals
barley, wheat and corn—will be greater
than last year's. In fine, the real situ
ation here needs only to be understood
to demonstrate the immense superiority
THE LOS ANOIttBS HgBAIJ>: SATOItPAY MORNING, JANTTABY 31, ISM,
of this section to any other on th* Amer
ican continent.
A dry year is possible in Los Angeles
county, although it is much more endur
able than one in the east, and does not
recur here nearly so frequency as there.
A year of drouth here, however, is
henceforth impossible.
THE GHOULS AND THE SENATORSHIP.
The Herald has considered it a duty
to point out the extreme indecency of
surrounding what many persona have
supposed to be the death-bed of Senator
Hearst with sordid speculations as to
who should bo his successor. While
this journal is obliged to admit that
death and taxes are the two things
which all men have to face, a great
many Galifornians, and they do not all
belong to the Democratic party, by any
means, take a great deal of pleasure in
hoping that the robust constitution ot
Mr. Hearst may render entirely super
erogatory prognostications as to bis suc
cessor. The old adage runs that
"threatened men live long." Even*
though the threat of dissolution may
emanate from the King of Terrors him
self, it may not be carried into effect.
Azrael, the Angel of Death, has been
known to miss his mark. The later
notes from Mr. Hearst's bed-side are
quite encouraging to his friends; and
tbe California legislature, which is sup
posed to be contemplating an extension
of its constitutional term, in order to sit
upon Mr. Hearst's political effects, may
possibly be obliged to submit to seeing
this fine old Democrat survive its own
official life.
We are glad to see that our esteemed
contemporary, the San Francisco Even
ing Bulletin of tbe 28th inst., looks
upon tbe question in substantially the
same light in which we have regarded it.
In the course of some ascetic remarks
concerning the possible candidacy of
Hon. C. N. Felton and Mr. M. H. de
Young for a seat not yet vacant, the
Bulletin says:
The scramble that is going on for
Senator HeaYst'e seat in the senate can
not be said to be very edifying. Tbe
senator is not dead. On the contrary,
he may live long enough to bury some of
those who are striving for his old shoes.
The doctors appear to have invented a
cancer for the purpose of disposing of
him. Failing in that they subsequently
fell back in force on Bright's disease.
But the senator smokes his cigar be
times, and the telegraph reports that
his family are getting to be hopeful of
his recovery. Whether the senator live
for a long or a short time, common de
cency ought to suggest that the breath
at least should be out of his body before
a contest was commenced for his sen
atorial toga.
Death is an exceedingly uncertain
subject of speculation in any event. In
this connection it is worthy of remark
that, the other day, Senator Stanford
was thrown out of his carriage in New
York and sustained injuries which only
failed of fatal result through the cus
tomary good luck of that most fortunate
of public men.
Surely both decency and common
i sense call for a halt In the brutal in
trigues having, for their object the suc
cessor of a gentleman who may live for
decades yet. Senator Hearst has every
thing calculated to make a man shake
himself loose from the grasp of death
itself, such as honor, public estimation
and troops of friends, to say nothing of
those "rascal counters" which have
heaped themselves up in his coffers to
a degree which would have made the
imagination of lago himself turn green
with envjf} Were we within easy reach of
the sick senator's couch we would feel like
addressing him in the language of Or
lando to old Adam, in the forest of Ar
dennes, "Live a little; cheer thyself a
little." But at all events, at the dis
tance of his California home, we breathe
the hearty prayer that genial and good
old George Hearst may live for many a
day vet.
A MAMMOTH DISASTER, INDEED.
The public are getting so used to
dreadful catastrophes in coal mines,
involving the destruction of human life
by wholesale, that even the latest horror
which occurred in the Mammoth coal
mine, near Youngwood, Pennsylvania,
and which surpasses all previous similar
calamities in this country in the num
ber of its victims, has created but a
passing impression of commiseration in
localities remote from the awful scene.
This is a result greatly to be deplored.
It shows a hardening of the public sym
pathies in tbe face of great calamities
that is not creditable to human nature.
Yet it is a law of our being that
familiarity with misery deadens the
sense of our feelings, and causes us
to look upon catastrophes of
frequent occurrence with an un
concern which seems like the stoical
indifference of tbe Mongolian at a whole
sale decapitation. But the sacrifice of
human life in the Mammoth mine was
so sweeping in its character and so de
plorable in its consequences, that we
cannot but be moved by the common
feelings of humanity when we contem
plate it. Out of the one hundred and
sixty men in the mine at the time of the
explosion, only nine have escaped alive.
No battle, no siege, no naval combat,
could show such a result; indeed such
a percentage of loss could only be par
alleled in some frightful sea accident
whetea vessel is suddenly foundered,or in
a calamity such as destroyed Johnstown,
or in some great perturbation of nature
in which a city is swallowed up by a
seismic catastrophe. And yet we are
told that this mine was considered the
safest in the whole Pennsylvania coal
region, and that work in it was sought
on that account in preference to em
ployment in many others. It was be
lieved to be entirely free from lire-damp,
that deadly enemy to the worker in coal
pits; and we are also told that its own
ers adopted every means of precaution
against accident. Yet this mine, so
carefully managed, and so popular with
the underground workers, has given us
the most fearful example of the insecu
rity of human life in the coal pit. This
insecurity should lead to scientific in
vestigation in the interest of safety. We
ought to be able to ascertain from the
facts in this terrible explosion * clearer
knowledge of tbe precautions that ostght
to be taken to protect the lives ef the
underground operatives. It is said that
the safety lamp was discarded in tiie
Mammoth mine because everybody was
certain it was free from gas. Bat a
mine might be free from gas one minute
and the next a pick might open a hole
into a cavity surcharged with the deadly
explosive. Therefore this calamity
might point out the necessity of com
pelling the use alone in all coal mines of
the safety lamp. This is a view of the
matter which ought to commend itself,
first, to tbe investigation of science,
and, second, to the power of the law
maker. ___________
A short time*ago a petition was widely
circulated and signed calling npc n the
city council to pot a stop to the cruel
way in which dogs are treated by the
men who are detailed to catch, impound
and kill those that are not reclaimed by
their owners. But nothing came of it.
There is a state law which declares dogs
to be property. Snppose the dog-catch
ers should destroy a valuable canine
belonging to a man of a litigious turn,
and he were to question in the courts
the right of the city to do so on the
ground that the statute declares dogs to
be property, and therefore cannot be
lawfully destroyed any more than other
property can be lawfully destroyed?
There might be euch a case, and if the
owner had included the value of his dog;
in his assessment list, the catse would
still be placed in a stronger light. It is
argued that the city has the right under
its municipal powers to exact a license
for keeping a dog. True; but if the
owner fail to take out the license, does
it follow that the city has the right to
kill the dog, which is property? It
might sell the animal, or punish the
owner; but has it any more right to
destroy the dog, which is property, than
it would have'to destroy the goods in the
store of a man who was delinquent in
the payment, of his license ?
Hon. John B. Habkin, wbo nearly two
years ago was the victim in this city of
a very adroit bunco conspiracy, has re
turned to Los Angeles for the purpose of
testifying in tbe matter of recovery from
the bondsmen of tbe man Rose, who left
them in the lurch. The Tuscarora chief
of Tammany, notwithstanding his ad
vanced age, has made the trip from New
York here simply in the interest of
justice and the vindication of the laws,
and deserves credit for his public spirit.
In his prime Mr. Hagkin was one of the
foremost public men of the Empire
state, and his long services as a repre
sentative in congress gave him a con
spicuous national reputation. As an
effective party manager he had but few <
peers in the Democratic organization,
and even now his counsels are sought in
critical emergencies. He doubtless re
flects the views of the most sagacious
Democrats of his state when he says
that if New York is to furnish the next
candidate for the presidency it would be
the part of wisdom to select Governor
David B. Hill for the bead of the ticket.
Tub legislature now in session appears
to be imbued with an excellent notion
of economy in some directions. Too
much of it in certain directions is of the
penny-wise, pound-foolish stripe. To
set apart $300,000 for the Chicago exhibit
seems like the latter quality. It does
not seem enough to do the state justice;
and it is important that our exhibit
should be the best that can be made.
The narrow-gauge politicians of Penn
sylvania are disposed to haul Cameron
over the coals for his attitude on silver
and the force bill. Don knows what he
is about. He knows the country is be
hind him in this matter.
AMUSEMENTS
Next Week at the Los Angeles
Theater.
There is nothing next week at any oi
the places of amusements except at the
New Los Angeles theater, winch will
open on Monday night, February 2d,
with the representative company of the
Pacific (.oast. During the short season,
which will include seven performances,
they will produce three well-known
comedies. On Monday and Tuesday
evenings The Magistrate, with L. R.
Stockwell in the title-role, will be the
attraction. Tuesday and Wednesday
evenings Auguetin "Daly's New York
comedy success, 7-20-8, will be !
given. Friday and Saturday even
ings Nat Goodwin's comedy, Turned Up,
will receive its first presentation before
a Los Angeles audience. The Alcazar
company will bring their entire cast
direct from their home theater in San
Francisco. They will also bring what
.scenery is necessary for the proper pro-,
duction and staging of their pieces.
The sale of opened yesterday morn
ing at the box office, and the demand
was very large.
IULD-I'AKK CONCEHT.
Tonight will occur at the Simpson M.
E. church tho second concert by that
excellent and artistic organization, the
Hild-Park Concert company. The en
tertainment will be under the auspices
of the Star Lecture course, who only
today succeeded in securing them for a
return concert, there being a very gen
eral request for another of their delight
ful concerts before returning east, which
they will do in a few days, filling dates
en route.
The programme is a popular one, and
has been especially arranged to please.
The rendering by Carl Hild.the violinist,
on one string only, of an aria, by Pagan
ini.which he will play by special request,
is said to be truly wonderful. They
come to us well endorsed by the eastern
press. The following from the Worces
ter Daily Telegram of November 18th,
where music is paramount, explains the
company's popularity: "The leader of
the company, Herr Carl Ifild, is a
violinist every inch of him. His play
ing last nigbt attested the fact. The
difficult executions of Variations de
Brarara, by Paganini.on one string only,
won him well-merited applause.
Miss Anrrie Park, the cornetist, is well
known to Worcester audiences, she hav
ing been here several times with tiie
famous Park sisters.
Misses Park and Joslyn were heartily
encored in their duet, Miserere, from II
Trovatore. This number was very ap- (
proprieytety represented. The cornet,
which was hidden from view, repre
sented Manrico imprisoned in the tower,
and Miss Joslyn represented Leonora
serenading him. The latter's voice was
wonderfully responsive to the sweet
chords of the cornet, and it produced a
novel effect.
Mr. Gillette's baritone was all that
could be desired."
NOVELTIES AT THE <MVBEE.
Miller's musical comedy company is
billed to appear at the popular Main
street Musee-theater. This company is
said to embrace some strong specialists.
Besides the above another sensational
illusion called the "vanishing lady" will
be presented. It is reported that an
attractive young society lady of this
city ia appearing in these illusions, and,
although she has studiously endeavored
to disguise herself she has been identi
fied by a number of friends. The fire
;king, stereopticon,Parisian enigma, etc.,
' continue to entertain the audiences in
the musee department.

It is proven CHOICE BUGAR BEET LAND. The OXNARD BEET SUGAR COMPANY is
now constructing here the
LARGEST BEET SUGAR FACTORY IN THE ONITED STAJES,
and will complete It next August, so as to work up the crop of this yesr. The sugar will be re
fined in Chino ready for market.
Farmers are rapidly entering into contract* to grow beets, because of the certainty of the
crop, and sure cash market at home on delivery to the factory In a few months after plautlng,
The crop needs no housing, sacking, boxing, or holding for market. With right tillage, the
yield is large and profits sure. Wherever in Europe or the United States this industry has been
establl-hed, LAND HAH QUADRUPLED IN VALUE, and the people greatly prospered. lEx
