The organs of national extravagance
think that they fully justify their party
against the charge of peculation and
waste when they call upon Democratic
papers to give the items of the extrava
gance charged. The items have been
before the public; but what need of
items when they accept the fact that
their last congress was a billion-dollar
congress? That tells the whole story.
The electric road is now running cars
through our streets pretty regularly,
although their new power house is not
yet ready to furnish electricity. The
line is temporarily operated by the
power of the old Pico street company,
which is of course inadequate to the
wants of the new company. When the
new power house is ready to start up itß
immense machinery, the belt company
will prove a great boon to the people
living along the line of its road and the
public generally.
Victoria is not going to trust her im
perial grandson to the vagaries of one
of his extemporaneous speeches when
he replies to the address to be presented
to him at Guildhall. She has made him
write it out and will only permit him to
nse that portion of it which she ap
proves. The old queen has a level head
npon her shoulders. She has heard of
gome of his wonderful oratorical freaks,
and is determined that he shall not
have a chance to follow them up in ad
dressing her British subjects, who would
not take kindly to his absolutist rhetor
ical flights.
The Chino beet sugar factory will
start up in a few days, and its Opera
tions will afford lively testimony as to
the efficiency of the McKinley bill as a
promoter of new industries. —[8. F.
Chronicle.
The above is a sample specimen of the
way tbe war-tax papers try to impose
upon the public. The McKinley bill
will be entitled to no credit whatever
for the success of the Chino beet sugar
factory, or any other beet sugar factory.
The duty that was placed on foreign
sugar before the passage of that bill in
sured the beet sugar manufacturers of a
price that would pay. i'hat duty has
been merely changed to a bounty by the
McKinley measure, so that the beet su
gar interests stand on the same level
they occupied before sugar was made
free of duty. The gall of the war-tax
papers is only equalled by their mendac
ity.
The powers that be in Washington are
very much put out about United States
District Judge Ross's dismissal of the
libel against the schooner Robert and
Minnie. They say that the case against
her was stronger than that against the
Itata, and that they therefore feel that
this decision has placed the government
in an awkward position. It is a great
pity that the bunglers at Washington
have to submit admiralty questions to
the courts. If they could override the
law like Balmaceda or ignore it
like the czar of Russia, they would have
no difficulty in handling these knotty
questions. Wonder if the administration
thought that Judge Ross ought to make
hia decisions in these cases conform to
the views of the government, regardless
of the law, like the English judges used
to do in Jeffreys' time ? Now that Dis
trict Attorney Cole has obeyed the in
structions of the United States attorney
general and filed a libel against the Itata
for violation of the neutrality laws, etc.,
we shall see what there is in the case.
The best lawyers are of the opinion that
no such violation can be sustained, as
the Itata was a mere transport ship, and
was not armed here to wage war against
a friendly power.
The San Francisco Chronicle is indig
nant that Los Angeles county does not
hire detectives at its own expense to
put f stop to the aesumed practice that
prevails of rounding up coyotes in Ari
zona and then passing off their scalps
upon the officials here as belonging to
animals killed in California. We do not
know that this is being done; but it is
very possible that it is. The law is so
absurdly framed that a man can take his
scalps before any one authorized to ad
minister an oath and the county clerk is
required to issue a certificate thereon to
the state controller. What is to hinder
any one from bringing in scalps from Ari
zona, and how could they be run down ?
A man has a grip-sack full of scalps,
taken in Arizona, jumps off the train at
Pomona, goes before a justice of the
peace, produces the scalps, and swears
they were taken from animals killed in
San Antonio caflon. The justice of the
THE LOS ANGELES HERALD; THURSDAY MORNING, JULY 9, 1891.
peace certifies over to the county
clerk the number of scalps sworn to, and
the clerk issues his certificate on the
state controller. All this is feasible and
detection difficult. The Chronicle should
find fault with the framers of the law,
for leaving it so open to abuse.
ON THE EVE OP GREAT THINGS—A SOLID
COMMUNITY.
The Herald has several times called
attention to the fact that we are now, in
Los Angeles, in substantially the same
position as in 1880, which year marked
the transition from the dull times which
had been experienced from 1875-76. In
May of 1880 the first number of the
Illustrated Herald was issued. In
that number of a publication which has
been of special value to this section, we
said that the turning point in a move
ment of development which would not
stop until miracles of enhanced real
estate values had been recorded, would
take place in July of that year.
Seldom was a prediction more start -
lingly verified. The change took place
precisely at the time indicated by the
Herald, and it never rested till the cul
mination of the boom, in 1887. In the
early spring months of this year this
journal repeatedly said that during this
current July history would repeat
itself, and it is doing so now.
Precisely such a movement as
took place in July, 1880, is under way
now. Real estate is hardening in value;
and fortunately for Angelefios, and for
the durability of the era of prosperity
that is about to set in, it is doing so on
actual production. It will go on with
regulated but irresistible step until the
close of the Columbian exposition, when
the movement of settlement towards
Southern California will be colossal in
its proportions.
Even now there is a remarkable cur
rent of settlement flowing all over
Southern California, and particularly in
San Bernardino and Los Angeles coun
ties. It is recruited from all portions of
the United States, but it is noticeable
that vast numbers of people from
the Pacific coast and territories
are setting up their Lares and
Penates here. This movement is going
to increase greatly during the fall and
winter.' The Herald has certain evi
dence that great numbers of people in
Washington, Oregon. Utah, Montana,
Colorado and even New Mexico and
Arizona are contemplating a migration
to Southern California. The advance
guard is already here. Though there is
said to be some difficulty in disposing of
property in the distinctly northwestern
Btates, such as Nebraska, lowa and
Missouri, immense numbers of people
from those states are perfecting arrange
ments to make this region their lasting
city. In the eastern states there are
multitudes of people who are indepen
dent of the fluctuations of real estate
values, and who are determined to come
here and live, on considerations of cli
mate alone.
As a result of this widely ramified
movement, one can go to scarcely any
section of Southern California without
finding great numbers of intending set
tiers'wlio ar6 carefully looking over the
ground. As a general thing mid-sum
mer, from the point of view of invest
ment in real estate, is dull indeed.
This is by no means the case this year.
The sagacious investor is abroad —the
man who knows on which side his bread
is buttered. He realizes perfectly that,
in a country in which the agencies of
development are multiplying with the
rapidity that characterizes Los Angeles,
the summer is the time to make his in
vestment. On lands bought now the
investor is sure to reap a profit of from
fifteen to twenty-five per cent before
mid-winter.
The reader may ask if the Herald is
designedly encouraging a "boom." We
answer unhesitatingly that we are. This
time it is the boom of production.
People now know what they are about.
The immense investments of foreign
capital in such enterprises as the Los
Angeles Cable railway, the Belt Electric
railway, the Los Angeles Terminal rail
way, the building of a splencHd new
city hall and courS house by the people
of the city and county of Los Angeles,
the erection of such superb business
edifices as the Bryson-Bonebrake block,
and many other enterprises of great
pith and moment, all since the
so-called bursting of the boom,
show very forcibly that this sec
tion sustained no real injury by
the arresting of the super-heated real
estate excitement which reached its per
ihelion in 1887. Since the millions of
capital from abroad have gone into the
solid work of development in Los An
geles, and this section has never stood
so well as it does now. The fever has
left our blood, but the bounding pulse of
a wholesome vitality never throbbed so
strongly in our veins as it does today.
It is clearly seen by level-headed people
that the figures at which the exception
ally valuable lands of Los Angeles coun
ty are now held involve great bargains
to the buyer.
It is true that the real estate transac
tions show no wild and hectic move
ment. Better so! Today there is no
swapping of jack-knives. Every sale
that goes on the records is in good faith,
and the purchase is not to be traded off
again within the next twenty-four
hours. The man who buys now in the
city does so to improve his property,
and when he buys in the country he
does so in order to join the great army
of producers. There has not been in
the history of Los Angeles a healthier
condition of things than exists here
today. Business, also, has become en
ergized and profitable. If ever any
community succeeded in plucking the
flower safety from the nettle danger, the
latter in the form of over-speculation, it
is Los Angeles.
The weekly financial circular issued
by Henry Clews & Co., dated at New
York, July 3d, takes a rather ''bearish"
view of the immediate future as respects
anything like a "bull" movement in
stocks. The financial centers of Europe
are greatly disturbed, which is the se
cret of the heavy calls for gold from the
United States. Notwithstanding the
export of seventy millions in gold from
this country to Europe, the conditions
of business in the United States con
tinue good. The prospects for crops
here never looked better. We have
long ago liquidated our indebtedness to
the outside world. The principal reason
for the heavy shipments of gold abroad
is because the distrust of European
business houses is so grjeat that bills
drawn on them are no longer negotiable,
and thus coin has to be used. This will
ultimately be good for the United
States. The Messrs. Clews & Co. epit
omize the situation as follows:
Of course Europe has to provide
againbt the effects of coming general
deficient harvests, with the natural bad
results to internal trade; and the con
trolling bankers may deem it prudent to
discourage general imports so as to keep
down the exports of gold that must be
made in purchase of the unusual Ameri
can surplus of breadstuff's. Such a pur
pose implies a bad dilemma; but its
significance to the United States is far
less serious than this to Europe. To the
rest of the world, it means depression
and sacrifice ; to us, it signifies the pur
chase of our imports at low prices and
the sale of our food exports at high
prices.
This is undoubtedly a correct state
ment of the exceptional urgency for
good from Europe. As to the possibility
of any lively stock movements in this
country under the circumstances of de
pression and disquiet in Europe the
Messrs. Clews & Co. add:
In view, then, of the foreign ex
changes, of the still unbroken promise
of an abundant harvest, and of the
unexpected abundance of money at this
center after parting with seventy mill
ions of specie, we do not see why strong
combinations of men should find much
difficulty in imparting a profitable
"bull" impulse to Wall street later on
if they desire to do so. For the moment,
however, the "bears" have a powerful
hand, which calls for cautious buying,
and on the raids only.
With all the young Emperor Will
iam's glib talk of the renewal of the
dreibund meaning peace there would
seem to be, to a man up a tree, an un
mistakablesniff of war in theair. Hence
these unusual monetary disturbances.
SENSATIONS OF THE DESERT.
We are at length in possession of facts
in regard to the inflow into the Colorado
desert which does away with the suppo
sition that the water came in from the
Gulf of California. Had it been found
that the water came in from the gulf,
then we would be confronted with the
certainty that a permanent inland sea
would be formed in the basin, and that
it would eventually rise to the ocean
level. That would mean a depth
of water of at least 260 feet
at Salton. With such a cer
tainty staring us in the face, a
multitude of contingencies of a grave
character would arise. The first would
be the necessity to change the roadbed
of the Southern Pacific railroad; then
the question of the climatic effect of this
new sea taking the place of a great
burning desert would be a topic of the
most intense interest; and amongst
other questions that would follow would
be the One as to the agricultural effect
of the new sea upon the lands forming
the entire littoral of this extensiou of
the waters of the Gulf of California.
But with the ascertained assurance that
the source of the water is merely a break
in the Colorado river, all these grave con
tingencies vanish. The lake will only be
a temporary one, and will disappear, or
become a mere shallow Bheet of water,
with the falling of the liver to its nor
mal flow. The Colorado at its low stage
would not supply sufficient water to a
sheet covering 2700 square miles to over
come the effects of evaporation, and con
sequently a steady drying-up process
would go on during the season of low
water, when doubtless 'the break could
be filled up and the river directed back
into its old channel.
Therefore, whatever dangers have
heretofore been apprehended are dis
posed of by the discovery that the water
comes from the river. Even should the
rise of two inches a day continue, which
is not possible under the circumstances,
it would take years for the lake to rise
to the level of the Southern Pacific's rail
road track, which is now 1600 feet from
the water line.
Perhaps the most ridiculous of all the
sensations this phenomenon has de
veloped in the fanciful imagination of
newsmen is the one which assumes that
there is only a slight crust of earth on
the line of the railroad aligning the
desert, and that trains are liable to
break through and go to the demnition
bow-wows at any moment. The experi
ence of prospectors in that region has
given no color of truth to this flight of
exuberant fancy, as they found out to
their sorrow when they sunk shafts in
search of minerals hundreds of feet to
find that they had struck a formative
rock that was barren of mineral.
If the flow in the Colorado river were
sufficient to supply a permanent sheet
of water of moderate depth in the Sal
ton basin, nobody would deplore the
fact that such a lake had taken the place
of the repulsive alkali bed of the
desert. It would banish the ter
rors of that dread wilderness, and
modify the temperature to such
a degree as to make its borders habit
able. It might turn a bleak, blazing
and blasted country into one where the
comfort of living could be enjoyed, and
where picturesqueness would take the
place of a barren waste.
In such event we might find ourselves
enriched by a number of attractive
watering places, where even in the heat
of mid-summer one might go to find
rest, repose and comfort from the cares,
rush and turmoil of busy life in the
cities. It might prove a gratifying off
set to our seacoast, and become as pop
ular as the Adriondacks or Lake George
to European tourists and visitors.
Patriotism ia a ruling passion in the
courts of the earth. An Irish-American
in Newark, N. J., was let off from pun
ishment in the court recently for thrash
ing a foreigner who disputed his asser
tion that the United States was the best
country on earth.
A LAND WAR.
Squatters Pre-Empting the
San Fernando Rancho.
A Society Formed to Figrht the
Title-Holders.
A Number of Homestead Claims
Picked Out Yesterday.
Mr. Lankershim Laughs at the Proposi
tion—What a Member of the So
ciety Teld a "Herald" Report
er — Many Thousand* of
Acres Claimed to Be
Government Land.
On yesterday it is said that there
were about one hundred and fifty men
squatting on the ex-Mission San Fernan
do ranche, including the Lankershim
properties in that locality.
Most of the locations were made yes
terday, and tomorrow the land office
will be full of men filing homestead
claims.
It appears that a society was formed
about a year ago to look into the title of
the ex-San Fernando Mission ranche.
There were certain points ascertained
which were assumed to be defects, and
a man was sent to the city of Mexico
where he overhauled the archives and
found what is claimed to be ample evi
dence of a mistake made in the bound
aries of the original grant which are de
scribed by meets and bounds. Another
man was sent to Washington to look
up the records of the commission
which confirmed the old Mexican
grants and there it is claimed more evi
dence was found. A few days ago the
company deemed that it had sufficient
evidence to justify it in taking action,
but it also decided to put the present
holders of the land in the position of
taking the initiative in the legal fight,
so they say that they will simply squat
on the* land and force the title" holders
to bring ejectment actions or suits for
trespass againßt them.
A member of the company was seen
last evening by a HERALD.reporter, and
said: "We have been at woik for about
a year, and now have $1700 in the
treasury and think we can get the land."
"How much land is there in ques
tion?" was asked.
"Well, there are in all a great many
thousand acres which we claim belong
to the government, and are now open
lor entry under the public land laws.
This land is of the very best quality,
and at a very low estimate is worth $100
to 1160 per acre.
"We have had good legal assistance
and we have surveyed the whole rancho,
and have established the lines exactly.
I don't think there is any doubt but
what we will carry our point, and that
by next week San Fernando will be full
of people making locations. That amount
of land, comprising thousands of acres,
will go round among a good many, but
there is not such a great amount left
now, for we have not been idle during
the past few days and the country is
dotted with locations now.
LANKERSHIM TALKS.
Mr. Lankershim, on being inter
viewed at his home late last evening by
a Herald reporter, laughed at the idea
of his ranch being occupied by squatters,
as he called them. He stated that the
patent to his ranch was one of the oldest
in the county, while his title was of the
best. However, even if the title had not
been good, twenty years of undisputed
possession would give him a clear title
if nothing else would. Several attempts
had been made, he said, to squat upon
his ranch, but most of the squatters had
left without any compulsion, while
those who had not done so
had been ejected, so that he
did not fear any successful dispute of
his title. He had not heard of any re
cent attempt upon his ranch, and did
not feel alarmed about it if it had been
made.
His ranch referred to was near San
Fernando, he said, and was an extreme
ly large holding in the neighborhood of
two and a half miles square. He said
that the land was very valuable, and
that it was likely that he would be
alarmed if there was any serious danger
to his possession of it.

The Silent Dane.
In his early manhood Moltke was
called "The Silent Dane," and later he
was popularly known as "The Great
Taciturn;" yet he could speak seven lan
guages fluently. Although one of the
world's profoundest and sternest sol
diers he was one of the most modeet and
affectionate of men. Occasionally one
might see him in Berlin driving in a
plain cab, or sauntering along a princi
pal street looking in at the shop win
dows, but few recognized him. He was
as regular as the sun in his dairy tasks,
and even in the lighter employments of
his long life he was ever painstaking
and methodical. Out of these traits
grew, withal, his fine literary ability
that, besides his published letters, pro
duced several valuable military histo
ries.
The crowning honor of his life was the
way Germany celebrated the completion
of his ninetieth year. From the Baltic
to the Alps, from the Vosges to the Vis
tula every household joined in the great
jubilee, hung out the national colors and
likenesses of Moltke in flags and torches.
Berlin was decorated and enthusiastic as
it had never before been for any private
citizen. Germans throughout the world
set apart Oct. 26, 1890, as a fete day for
the vaterland, and a day of praises and
congratulations for her greatest soldier.
The grim old field marshal was taci
turn almost by necessity, being nearly
smothered by honors and rich presents;
but when the city fathers of Berlin sent
him their greetings, accompanied by the
sum of 50,000 marks as a charity fund
for the relief of the aged and infirm, he
replied, "Gentlemen, say to your coun
cil that this gift touches my heart, and
that of the many rich presents I have re
ceived today this is the most valued."

How a Man Traded Hia Wife.
A few months ago a man named Zim
merman arrived in Darlington, this coun
ty, with a herd of ponies. Among those
who looked longingly on a particular
pony was George Davis, a young married
man of that place. Davis had no money,
but he possessed a wife whom he offered
to exchange for the animal and a money
consideration. The wife was consulted,
and after a few days' dickering Zimmer
man agreed to give the pony and a deed
to 144 acres of land in Montana in ex
change for the woman. The papers were
drawn up, and Zimmerman took the
woman and Davis the pony.
The cowboy and Mrs. Davis went west,
bnt she soon repented and asked to be
taken back to her first love. By this
time Davis discovered that Zimmerman
did not own a foot of land in Montana
or any other place. The innocent look
ing pony turned out to be everything
that was bad, and when Mrs. Davis ar
rived home she was gladly welcomed by
her rightful husband.—Beaver Falls (Pa.)

A Woman with Forty-three Huabanda.
A young Englishwoman, named Eve
line Leal, who is said to be exceedingly
handsome, has for a second time fallen
into the hands of the French police for
practicing what may be called the mar
riage trick. When in 1887 she was first
arrested she was at her thirteenth mar
riage, but today she is in the possession
of no fewer than forty-three husbands.
Her method of procedure was as simple
as it-was ingenious.
She put advertisements into the jour
nals stating that a widow possessing a
fortune of 1,200,000 francs wished to
marry a gentleman in good circum
stances belonging to the nobility or to
the high commercial class. Replies were
to be sent to a postoffice. Her accom
plice, who occupied the position of com
panion, seems to have bad the important
duty of choosing the victims from among
the applicants.—London Tit-Bits.

ENCHANTING SANTA MONICA BAY.
In the far-away ages, the "long ago,"
The legend gays, we suppose 'tis so,
To the shores of Santa Monica bay
Legions of angels found their way
From planet to planet, pole to pole,
On spirit wings, with eager soul
They had sought a beautiful home,
The rarest spot under heaven's dome,
And found it, at Santa Monica bay.
On the worlds, o'er which they had sped—
As Hies our thoughts, so they had fled—
They had not teen such beauteous array
Of velvet turf, and glittering spray,
Of beautiful mountains, majestic, grand,
And oceans of flowers that decked the land,
Of canyons wide, deep and cool;
The loveliest spot on "(Sod's footstool"
Thought they, is lovely Santa Monica bay.
'Twashere they found all they required,
An army of poets were since inspired,
To write of the wondrous, smiling, bay,
Selected by that angelic array,
As home, where they would ever reside,
And frequently, now. by flowing tide.
We hear the low sweet gentle summer-
As cool breezes sweep o'er terra flrma
Of angel voices at Santa Monica Bay.
And now mankind has invaded their home,
To revel in billows white with foam,
In gilded palace c-irs, o'er iron way
They glide—as "shooting stars"—each day,
And as they gaze at the silvery sheen
On waves of our lovely bay—l ween
They fancy themselves in' fairy land,
Rather than on the golden strand
Of beautiful Santa Monica Bay.
