California at several stages of her ad vance has been helped very materially by a number of brilliant writers. Thus, shortly after the completion of the Cen tral and Union Pacific railways, Grace Greenwood, Mrs. Calhoun and Charles Nordhoff lent the aid of their graceful and powerful pens to swelling the tide of desirable immigration to this state, and in this general movement Southern California shared quite appreciably. These personages were highly instru mental in bringing about in the east a new interest in the Golden State. The work begun by them has been more than equaled, especially as respects the southern portion of California, by Mr. Charles Dudley Warner. His articles devoted to this section, which first appeared in Harpers' Monthly, and which have been charac terized by the high literary ability ol Mr. Warner, have been collected by that gentleman in book form, with copious emendations and additions, and they have for some time past been on sale all over the United States, under the title of Our Italy. It is a charming produc tion, and there could not possibly be a more attractive way of advertising tbe claims of Southern California on the educated people of the east than is embodied in this book. It will, of course, have an infinitely greater effect than could be hoped for from any formal advertising medium. It would do us immense good for the reason that it is absolutely free from any tincture of the paid '• puff" order, and embodies simply the impressions of Los Angeles and ad joining counties held by a cultured and traveled man on a calm personal inspec tion of our resources, climate and gen eral ensemble. We understand that a movement is on foot with a view to ne gotiating with the Messrs. Harper for a cheap edition of this work, of 40,000 or 50,000 copies, to be forwarded to Los Angeles and judiciously distributed from this city in the east. This edi tion would be specially prepared, and furnished at a considerable dis count. Here is a capital opportunity for our people to Bhow that they under stand the great good which this en lightened writer has been to their sec tion. Our leading capitalists will, we hope, realize the splendid results of such a programme, and subscribe liber ally. There would be no vulgar adver tising features about such a plan. The books, costing probably thirty-five or forty cents a copy, would be distributed very carefully in the east, and would re sult undoubtedly in a valuable and in telligent immigration to the southern counties. The Herald bids the enter prise Godspeed. The reader cannot have failed to no tice the agreeable range of temperature over portions of California which have been reported by the telegraph for some days past. In San Francisco the ex perience has been unusual to the point of eccentricity. For two days in suc cession the mercury recorded there a rise to the 100 degree point, and that, for a city where the male biped gener ally loops an overcoat under his arm in mid-summer, iB something out of the common. One of the liveliest recollections of visitors arriving at the Golden Gate from the east is watching a Fourth of July procession with an overcoat under their arms, if of the masculine, and with a sealskin tightly buttoned up, if the visitor happens to be of the feminine gender. For a time whereof the mem ory of the oldeßt pioneer scarcely runs to the contrary, it has been the fashion to usher in July in San Francisco with weather that about corresponds to that of mid-November in the east. Wind and fog generally dispute the suprema cy. And this is all that has saved San Francisco from endemics and epidemics numerous enough to have reduced the population of that city to zero. Its sewer and other hygienic precau tions are almost nothing. The taxpay ers of San Francisco have stubborn ly depended on the trade winds as their preservers, and it must be said that, thus far, their dependence haß not been in vain. There is a sort of fnnnel-like focussing of all the winds that blow in San Francisco harbor that bae been as good as a clean bill of health to that city, condoning all the penurious ness of its taxpayers, and protecting the noses of its inhabitants from smells that would have distanced out of sight the seven and seventy vile odors which Coleridge detected in the city of Cologne. Two days of a high range of the mercury make these aromatic odors so efficacious ej that the fear of a third day is Born THE LOS ANGELES HERALD. THURSDAY MORNING, JULY 2, 1891. thing like the vision of death, and a week without a change in the line of a falling mercury would mean death out right. Think of it, men and brethren, and sisters also, of a Sonoma county in which it is said that at 0 o'clock in the afternoon the mercury still stood at 100 degrees in the shade, and Sonoma is on the very edge of the bay of San Fran cisco! Verily the weather-clerk has unkind designs upon the present metro polis of the Pacific coast. Either by the exhalations of the mephitic sewer gases released by the heat, or by downright cremation, its people seem to be doomed! ARE WE TAKING A DIP TO OURSELVES? The interesting problem on the Colo rado desert, which was first made public in the Herald, continues. The water is rising steadily, and the officials of the Southern Pacific railway are beginning to realize the gravity of the situation. There is no doubt but that the gulf of California at one time covered that por tion of California known as the Colorado desert, and doubtless the Mojave desert may be added to the region once thus flooded. About eighteen years ago there was discovered in San Diego a remark able map. It was prefixed to a history of America, which was published in New Amsterdam in 1508, the text being in Latin. In this map was a delineation of the state of Califor nia, as it was then supposed to exist, and the whole configuration of this side of the Rocky'mountains was outlined with remarkable exactitude. The writer was present whe.i United States Sur geon Wirz, a savant of great celebrity, examined it. In this map the situation of Salt Lake City was laid down to a nicety, under some name which we have forgotten, the indefatigable conquista dores having even then penetrated to that point. But the singular peculiarity of this ancient map was that the penin sula of Lower California was described as it exists today, while the gulf of Cali fornia was carried up to about the latitude of cape Mendocino, and was there discharged into the Pacific ocean. Undoubtedly at that time the territory now known as California was a terra incognita, but there is no question of the fact that the gulf of California then covered a much more extennive area than it does today. The existence of | great inland lakes and seas is demon strated by the landmarks which have been found from Salt Lake westward. On the top of the San Fernando range of mountains marine shells and petrified marine creatures have been found. The problem presented by this latest freak of nature will undoubtedly at tract the attention of scientists from far and near. For years past, as respects the continent at large, and of course by degrees that are almost imperceptible, the Pacific coast has been rising and the Atlantic coast has been sinking. Is this phenomenon on the Colorado des ert an indication that this process of continental development has been re versed, and that this side of terra firma is taking a little dip to itself, so to speak, in order to equalize things? Who knows? We are told that the unexpected is the thing that is sure to happen. There is no question of the fact that already a very marked revival has started in in Los Angeles and vicinity. For three years the best lands in the United States have been disprized, sim ply because at one time they were rated too highly from the standpoint of pro duction. But the prodigality and re munerative character of the output of this section has been demonstrated since the bursting of the "boom." There is really no section on the footstool where so much money can be garnered to the acre as in Lob Angeles county and portions of San Bernardino county. It has sometimes been a matter of mirth that, in summarizing the attractions of this section, clim ate has been thrown in as an ele ment in the count. And yet the climate of Los Angeles, added to the other at tractions of this nonpareil region, counts like minted dollars. Why should it not? Here we have a section in which there is not a wrinkle on the face of nature. We are not only not subject to the cy clones, cloud-bursts and.tornadoes of the rest of the country, but we are even free from the capricious ranges of the mercury. The farmer who cares to de velop the resources of irrigation which lie ready to his hand can raise two crops of potatoes and one of beans on lands that are so rich that they require no manure. The dairyman can rely upon from six to eight crops of alfalfa, a very nutritious clover, yearly, and each crop will be up to the average of an ordinary clover yield in the east. When it comes to the citrus fruits, the possi bilities of profits, under favorable con ditions of soil and exposure, run up to sums that we do not care to mention, because the figures are so high as to ex cite incredulity. People who exhibit a marked interest in such a unique and un exampled country simply show a high degree of sagacity. We are pleased to notice that this universal activity is not confined to Los Angeles county. In San Bernardino county, our immediate neighbor, the movement is even more lively. Wherever we turn, schemes of development, all on plans carefully cal culated for success, are being matured. Bailwavs are being built, reservoirs are being constructed, the desert even is be ing made to blossom as the rose, and we are but in the initial of a development which will far surpasß anything that has been chronicled in the past. All the in dications point to achievements in the next decade that will dwarf anything heretofore noted on this or any other continent. The heated spell in San Francisco is very hard on the denizens of that burg. One hundred degrees in the shade only occurs there every few years; but when it does come it finds a population and a sanitary condition that it plays old harry with. The people wilt and suffer, and tbe streets send up smells that Cologne would turn up its nose at. Fortunate for the bay city that these heated terms come seldom and stay but for a short time. A few weeks of the thermometer at from 90 to 100 degrees would make San Francisco a charnel house of disease and death. Her salvation is in the strong windß that waft over her from the ocean. They are disagreeable, but without them, with her villainous sewerage, she would soon become uninhabitable. The city council, with the exception of Councilman Summerland, have ad dressed a temperate communication to the board of education! suggesting that those gentlemen would do well to con form in their schedule of teachers' sal aries to that adopted by the council. There was a singular lack of comity on the part of the board in ignoring the action of the council. There is a uni versal feeling in Los Angeles that this reform inaugurated by the council has been entirely the most public-spirited and commendable thing done for a long time past. The salaries which have been paid in our school department have been out of all proportion to the ordinary scale of earnings in callings requiring a great deal more labor, longer hours, and as great, if not greater preparatory training, than the avocation of a teacher. But the time for discussion has passed. The council, having decided on re trenchment, should and will carry their programme out. This is not the time for paying "boom" salaries in any line. AMUSEMENTS. The fourth lecture in the anonymous series was delivered at Immanuel Pres byterian church last evening by Col. James J. Avers in the presence of a large and noticeably intellectual audi ence. The veil of secrecy which has covered the identity of the previous speakers had been withdrawn on this occasion by the committee in charge of the lectures, but the announcement was made during the course of the evening that hereafter the original scheme will be strictly adhered to. The lecture room of the church was handsomely decorated with pepper branches and immense bouquets, and the hall was comfortably filled. The evening's programme was inaugurated by Miss Maud Priest and Prof. Arevalo, who favored the audience with a guitar solo, which was so well received that an encore was made imperative. Mrs. Dr. J. S. Owens then sang Only Dreams, and was recalled to accept the thanks of the gathering exuressed in tumultuous applause. Colonel Ayers's lecture was entitled An Evening with Shakespeare and His Contemporaries, and proved a learned essay on the subject, eloquently ren dered. The Augustan period of the drama and its leading exponents up to the time of the appearance of William Shakespeare on the scene, was treated of in the opening lines, and the utter uselessness of any comparison of the great bard with his contemporaries, or his successors up to the present day,was vividly shown. "Indeed," said the speaker, "Shakespeare has no peer in any department of the dramaticcreative art, and we are therefore reduced to the only alternative left, of comparing him with himself. But his best plays are so evenly balanced in merit, that even in adopting this rule the critics are divided. Who will say that Hamletsur passes Macßeth, or vice versa? If there were only one copy extant of Othello and one of the Merchant of Venice, and it became necessary that one should be destroyed, who would dare to'pass the judgment." Colonel Ayers took the best known creations of the poet-diamatist to illus trate his wonderful genius and quoted from each their most striking passages. The lecture thus became a reading as well as a criticism, and the dramatic abilities of the speaker drew forth ap plause at every period. The lecture con cluded with the following eloquent trib ute to the immortal poet: "But Shake speare's works shall live as long as thought and language shall endure, and they shall only perish from the earth when the earth itself shall fade like an 'unsubstantial pageant' into the limit less bosom of eternity." A vote of thanks was passed to the speaker for his learned discourse, and also to those who had preceded him since the beginning of the series. The announcement was made that on next Wednesday evening a well-known attor ney will talk about Warmed-Over Wit; or the Stock Stories of a Professional Humorist. Miss Priest and Professor Arevalo ren dered another duet on the guitar, fol lowed by an encore, and the assemblage adjourned to an adjoining room for re freshments. * * Tomorrow evening at the Los Angeles theater, where VV. W. Conant is doing the manager's work, and doing it well, in the temporary absence of Mr. Harry Wyatt, will be presented the Grab Bair, the latest farce comedy production of the fertile brain of Mr. William Mes tayer, who plays in it a leading part. Miss Vaughn plays the part of an opera singer, which gives her ample opportun its to display her vocal ability besides many fetching costumes. The company is said to be composed of many fine spe cialty performers, and the performance is described as a sure laugh-maker. * * The Liliputians begin their engage ment at the opera house on the 7th. The box office will open this morning. The benefit in aid of the sufferers by the recent Spring-street lire, takes place tonight at the Grand opera house. The Delano concert last evening was a decided success. A report will appear in this column tomorrow. Marriage Sells. Yesterday afternoon, at her home at No. 208 East Thirty-second street, Mrs. W. A. Clinton, nee Crowley, was mar ried to Dr. F. L. Talbot. The ceremony was strictly private, and was performed by the Rev. Father Landry, of St. Vin cent's. Most Angeleiios of anything like a lengthened residence in this city will kindle with good wishes to the bride, who is the granddaughter of the lite much respected French consul, Monsieur de Moerenhout. The groom is a physician—a graduate from Vermont and New York medical colleges—who is to be heartily congratulated on his charming matrimonial prize.

The feature of the card was by all odds the Realization stakes for 3-year-olds for one mile and five furlongs, and worth to the winner nearly $40,000. Strathmeath, on the strength of his recent American derby victory at Chicago, was an overwhelm ing favorite, but after running in the front rank until the stretch was reached, was passed by both Potomac and Mon tana. These two had battle royal in the last furlong, and by most skillful and the hardest kind of riding Hamilton landed Potomac a win ner by the shortest oi heads in 2:15.

Everything is in readiness for the bi cycle road race on Saturday from Los Angeles to Santa Monica. The Los An geles wheelmen met last evening, with President Ellis in the chair. Consider able business was transacted in regard to arranging preliminaries for the big event in 'cycling circles. W. J. Allen was elected a representative of the League of American Wheelmen. Messrs. Percival, Smith and Benjamin, the han dicappers appointed by the club, report ed the following adjustment-of handi caps: D. L. Schrode and P. L. Abel, scratch ;W. A. Tufts, two minutes; W. J.

This will make the scratchmen leave at 9:20, giving the officials just ten minutes to catch the train. The entire route will be flagged. It is expected that the winner will reach Santa Mon ica about 10:40 o'clock. The distance is seventeen miles. There are sixteen con testants and the race promises to result iv a grand struggle.

Washington, July I.—Tho secretary of the treasury t.iday stated that he thought the proposition of the Federa tion of Labor that compliance with the request of the Knights of Labor would be an injustice to the Federation men now on the chance roll, was eminently fair. He accordingly decided to post pone his final decision until he should' have an interview with President Gom pers of the Federation. The Knights were surprised at this decision, and in sisted upon the complete reinstatement of the Beven discharged men within fif teen days or a month. But tho secre tary was hrni in his decision, and sub sequently said, in his opinion the mat ter had evolved itself into a controversy between the organizations, and at pres ent there was nothing left for him to do. The Tension Surplus. WASHINGTON) July 1. —Tho commis sioner of pensions has received a number of dispatches from pension agents, giv ing the unexpended balance of pension funds in their hands at the close of business June 30th. All have not yet reported, but indications are that the balance will be about $5,000,000. This added to the amount in the treas ury, unexpended, will make $8,000,000. Under the law the balance unexpended is turned into the treasury, which will be done today, and will increase the treasury balance by about $5,000,000. Wheat on Call. San Francisco, July 1. —The stocks of wheat in the California call board ware houses July Ist, aggregate 19,000 tons.

I reclined on the strand beside her, Half covered her o'er with sand, And imagined her childish murmur To be voices from angel land. Then sighed—as an old man will sigh, What sad tales thesigh can unfold— And wanted the darling with mo to fly, Tho' she is but twelve months old. Jno. Leland Stanford.
