OUR RAILROAD INTERESTS.
fi'roreeillusrs of Ihe Chamber of Com
merce.
The Chamber of Commerce had a
called meeting last night, at Judge
Sepulveda's Chambers, to protest
against any proposed action of Con
gress to allow the line of the Southern
Pacific Railroad to be so changed as
to leave the city of Los Angeles thirty
miles or more to the west.
Present, Mr. Lazard in the chair,
ane Messrs. Widney, Hewitt, Barrows,
Caswell, Brodrick, Lord, Downey and
Meyer.
After the President had staled the
purpose of fhe meeting, Mr. Hewitt
said that tbo citizens iiad no reason to
fear that the Southern Paciiic Railroad
Company desired to build their road
contrary to its agreement with the
city. The :?;>77,000 bonds given to the
company by Los Angeles are valueless
unless its agreement with the city and
county was complied with. The com
pany is working to fulfil its contract,
and from appearances in less than
sixty days the road will be advancing
towards the Colorado and the San Fer
nando tunnel be Under progress. As
the Southern Paciiic road is the only
railway corporation In this section
able to do anything, it is bad policy to
ut tempt to cripple its operations.
On motion of .In«l«e Witney, the
following resolution was adopted:
Resolved, That a special committee
ofthe Board be appointed to enquire
into tho truth of the rumored otarngC
of the Southern Pacific Railroad Com
pany, and that if any such bill has
been introduced In Congress, they be
instructed to send to our Representa-
M n* IU.. :.. .. ~ naWlSofl .nnUn n f
liven ut * i .i-i»; "i< * '■■ i** i i i... ■. ..-j-n .1 w,
the agreement between the city and
county ami thesaitl railroad company,
and request them to use their endeav
ors to prevent any legislation that
might injuriously affect the same.
The chair appointed as said special
committee Messrs. Widney, Barrows
and Lord.
After discussion, Judge Widney pre
sented the following resolution, which
was adopted:
iteaolved, That the Committee on
Harbors be instructed to furnish Con
gress a statement of the commerce
and other statistics of our port, and the
great necessity that exists for granting
a further appropriation, as recom
mended by Maj. Mendel I, U. S. A., for
carrying out Ids views relative to
Wilmington Harbor.
Gov. Downey said that it would be
a great outrage if the S. 1\ R. It.
should change? its main route without
consulting the people of Los Angeles,
and make this city a mere side-station
—this city and valley had acted too
liberally toward the company to be so
treated.
Mr. Hewitt said that to his knowl
ledge, up to live days ago, it was the
intention of the company to build its
main route direct through San Fer
nando to Eos Angeles.
Mr. Barrows presented a series of
of resolutions, setting forth that the
Southern Paclflo road was about to
violate its agreement with Eos Ange
les, and urging our Representatives in
Congress to oppose any amendment to
the law as it now stands, calculated to
moke the Los Angeles road a mere
branch.
On motion, the special committee
was Instructed to forward the resolu
tions iv our representatives in Y\ asn
ington, if they ascertain that any such
legislation is contemplated. The Sec
retary was authorized to use the tel
egraph to ascertain the facts in the
case.
At request, Mr. Hewitt stated his
conviction that an excellent and
permanent channel would be secured
in Wilmington harbor. On motion,
the Chamber then adjourned.
BEE CULTURE.
Proceed lii srs ot the Bee-Keepers* Meet
ing Held Yesterday at (Jrunirc
Hall.
The bee-keepers of Los Angeles
county bad a meeting at Grange Hall,
yesterday afternoon, to consult to
gether on the general interests of the
fraternity in this section. Capt. J. T.
Gordon, of Azusa, presided, with Wm.
Muth-ltasmussen as Secretary. Among
the prominent bee-keepers present
were A. J. Davidson, P. C. Malloy, P.
Harmon, Mrs. 11. Richardson, P. l'liil
lippi, li. Richardson, W. Muth-Kas
mussen, R. J. Bayly, J. P. Bruck, A.
H. Arnold and W. T. Clapp.
lIOW TO DISPOSE OF "OUR HONEY."
Mr. John P. Brack, of Arroyo Beeo
Bee Ranch, pressnted an article on the
important question, "How to dispose
of o;ir honey." He suggested that the
fact be advertised of the superior qual
ity of Los Angeles honey, aud the
certainty of a constant and adequate
supply, "if the buyer does not seek us,
we must seek tho buyer. Our market
is evidently in tho Eastern States, and
there we must seek our buyer. Wan
Francisco is, and ever will be, but a
place of exchange, where the Los An
geles bee-keepers are now compelled
to employ middlemen or brokers to do
whal, in tt regulated state of affairs,
tiie bee-hoe'H'l's can do themselves.
But our bee-keepers must acquaint
the buyer and consumer with the ex
cellent quality of our honey—ty/ <'<l
vcriisinj/. Its quality, as well as its
quantity, cannot be praised too much.
He suggested that a slatistieul article
on bee culture) In Los Angeles couniy
be prepared for publication.
Mr. A. J. Haqidson also furnished
suggestions on tbo same subject. He
desired the second-hand oil can to be
thrown aside, and a »» honey vessel"
determined upon. Small producers,
by acting together, could make it
prolitable to ship honey in large quan
tity to an Eastern market, (,'umb
honey is as a rule in demand, espe
cially if well put up.
A prolonged discussion followed,
participated in by Messrs. Gordon,
Malloy, Davidson, Bruck and others.
London was suggested as a good
market for California honey.
FOUL-HROOO.
Mrs. Richardson, of Grand View,
presented an article en " foul-brood."
She maintained that it was caused by.
excesses either of heat or cold, and
that sudden changes were very detri
mental to tho good health of bees.
She recommended good shade in the
Summer and a water-shade in rainy
weather. Good, aolid.tight-frame hives
are essential to practical bee-keeping,
and' also a guard against moth
millers.
Messrs. Davidson, Bruck, Malloy,
Wm. Miith-Hasmusscii, Bayly and
others spoke on tho subject. Mr.
Gordon maintained that there was no
real contagious foul-brood in this part
of the county.

God's Children's Sleep.
God lias a mot her's way of patting a
child to sleep. You know there is no
cradle-song like a mother's. After the
excitement of the evening, it is almost
impossible to get the child to sleep,
if the rocking-chair stops a moment,
the eyes are wide open; but the
mother's patience and the mother's
soothing manner keep on until, after a
while, the angel of slumber puts his
wing over the pillow. Well, my dear
brothers and sisters in Christ, the time
will come when we will be wanting to
bo put to sleep. The day of our life
will be done aud the shadows of the
night of death will be gathering around
us. Then we want God to aoptlie us—
to bush us to sleep. Let the music at
our going not be thedirge Orthe organ
or the knell of the church tower, orthe
drumming of a "dead march," but let
It be the hush of a mother's lullaby.
Oil! the cradle of the grave will be soft
with the pillow of all the promises.
When we are being rocked into that
last slumber, I want tliis to bo the
cradle-song: "As one whom his mother
comforteth, so will I comfort you."
"Asleep in Jesus! Ear from tliee
Thy kindred ami their graves may be;
BUI thine is still a blessed sleep,
From which none ever wake to wepp."
A Christian man was dying in Scot
land. His daughter Nellie sat by his
bedside. It was Sunday evening, and
the bell of the Scotch kirk was ring
fug, calling the people to church. The
good old man, in his dying dream,
thought lie was on the way to church,
as he used to be when he went in the
sleigh across the river; and as the
evening hell struck up, in his dying
dream he thought it was the call to
church. He said: "Hark, children,
tbe bells are ringing; we shall be late;
wo must make the mare step out
quick!" He shivered, and then said:
"Pull the bulFalo-robes up closer, my
lass! It is cold crossing the river, but
we will soon be there, Nellie; we will
soon be there!" And he smiled and
said, "Just there now." No wonder
he smiled; the good old man had got
to church. Not the old Scotch kirk,
but the temple lv the skies. Just across
the riven
How comfortably did Cod hush that
old man to sleep! "As one whom his
mother comforteth, so will J comfort
you."

boundary of the Rancho commences three
and a half miles from the city limits of Los
Angeles, and extends to the Pacific Ocean.
Topography.
•"Centinela" Ismadeupotone broad, level,
fertile valley of over twenty thousand seres,
aud beautiful fertile rolling lulls near the
ocean.
Soil.
The soil is an exceedingly fertile loam, and
is, withcut exception, the richest and most
productive in Southern California. Its vicin
ity to the ocean Insures a crop without Irriga
tion. Excellent wheel has been raised for the
hist two years upon the hills adjoining the
ocean. This wheat Held contains 1,(HI0 acres
and covers the lightest soil upon the liancho.
There is no alkali or barren land.
Semi-Tropical Fruits.
There are a few bearing orange and lime
trees upon the centinela, and the fruit, they
produce is of the largest and finest quality.
There is an orchard containing 11,000 orange
trees three years old, and 1,700 almond, lime
and lemon trees. The almond, lime and
lemon trees will hear fruit in 1875. The or
ange trees will lieur in five years. There are
7,000 three-year-old orange trees in the nur
sery near the orchard. Kig, pepper uiul gum

chard can be taken care of by three men with
B|X Horses. The orchard will be kept undi
vided by Ihe company to save the expense ot
each shareholder having a few trees to take
Ciire of. Each share will entitle tin- owner to
about 15 trees In the orchard unci about Hie
same number in the nursery. The almond,
lime and lemon trees will yield an Immedi
ate return. In live years each orange tree will
produce sail per annum, or $:iUI per share for
those now planted. There are Bowess in the
garden in bloom every day in the yea
