CITY AND COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER.
FRIDAY, JAN. 22, 1875.
The Story Not Half Told.
To the Eastern and European ear a
flavor of exaggeration attaches to
what it is now the fashion to write of
California. A very few years ago our
Btate watt comparatively isolated and
was principally known as the region
where adventurous men came to seek
sudden fortuues. Very fewCalifor
nians themselves know much of the
agricultural, pomological and other
capabilities of a State which now-a
days exports more than hall' the wheat
sent from the United States to foreign
lands, and In which three-fourths of
the wine which to-day is made iv the
United States is manufactured. It was
in 1857, in fact, that JOHN B. WELLS,
from his seat in the United States
Senate, said that he would not give
"two bits" for all the agricultural
lauds in California. He thought he
knew the State from Alpha to Omega,
and yet how completely he was de
ceived the record of the last seven
years shows with a luminousness that
loaves no possibility of doubt. Since
that day the Caifforn/an tried his
"prentice hand" at fanning, and his
State to-day leads the roll of produc
ing sisterhood. It is really a case of
" Eclipse first, aad the rest nowhere."
Stories of achievements in every
range of agriculture go East, and the
staid citizen of the older States is in
credulous. Mrs. Calhoun, Grace
Greenwood aud Nordiioff came
here and confirmed the flattering tale,
and still our Eastern brethren could
not resist the belief that a race of
Munchausen's or Prestor Johns was
growing up on the Pacific coast,whosc
lively Imagination dwarfed the " long
bew" of Irvino's Dolph Heyligero.
Much such a mistake as Senator
Weller made with regard to Califor
nia at large has been made by the
people of this State, until recently,
with reference to Los Angeles county.
It was ranked as a "cow" county.
Little good could be expected to come
out of the beautiful Nazareth which
stretched its ample domain, if not
"from the centre all round to the sea,"
at least from tho borders of San Ber
nardino county to Point Duma, reach
ing lengthwise a distance of several
hundred miles. It was looked upon as
a great region upon which to herd
sheep and homed cattle. Presently
admission had to he made in San
Francisco of the delicious quality of
the Los Angeles table grape, which,
en passant, we may as well say, is the
finest in the world. Almost simul
taneously the Los Angeles orange
commended itself to an appreciation
that could not be witheld, owing to
its unrivalled excellence. Next came
the Los Angeles wiire and brandies.
Soon it began to be observed that Cal
ifornia was producing fully one-half
the wool grown in the United States,
and that Los Angeles county contrib
uted a large proportion of the total
yield of California. Next, the ilgs,
raisins, walnuts, and last, though not
least, and perhaps destined to be the
most important, the tobacco of Los
Angeles county, fought their way to a
tardily accorded, but triumphantly ac
complished, recognition? Los Ange
les has lately started in to demonstrate
the fact that, if San Francisco has a
Comstock lode, she has as good a
placer in Panamint; and two years
will not have passed before the claim
will have been conceded. In addition,
hor petroleum wells will contest the
palm with Venango county, Pennsyl
vania. Tho progression we have de
scribed does not tell the whole story
for Los Angeles county. The tourist J
for pleasure and the valetudinary be
gan to come our way. They found a
rapidly growing city, surrounded by
every indication of substantiality and
wealth. They discovered for the first
time that we have in Los Augeles
county a region of indescribable fer
tility and beauty, which, in the Spring
time of the year, more than realizes
the beauties descried by Rykon in the
poem, "Know ye the land," etc. They
were in the midst of a region where
the graceful palm-tree frequently lifts
itself from a grove of oranges, and
where the bright, garish beauty of the
pomegranate is tempered by the deep,
cool green of the fig. They found that
a land which had bceu described to
them as arid and fit only for pastur
age, and which was supposed to be
subject to continuous and rarely inter
mitted drouths, was in fact the most
poetical section of the United States
full of accomplished bemity and wealth
and unlimited in Its possibilities. It
is of those last that we design to
speak, and we intend incidentally to
discourse of the " almighty dollar."
Al no time in the history of the place
has Los Angeles been free from croak
ers. And yet it is singular that these
people have been unable to perceive
that their city is to-day the richest
place of its size on the American Con'
tinent. And it is not wealth that has
been centuries accumulating, as iv the
coso of many Eastern cities. The
whole thing has been accomplished iv
the last ten years. It is not commer
cial wealth, but the profit arising from
downright agricultural ami horticul
tural productions. Of course wo arc
to-day benefited by a large immigra
tion, drawn here by the beauty of Los
Angeles and by the certain and bril
liant future that awaits tho place.
Many of the four hundred buildings
which have been erected within the
city limits during the past six months
have been built by persons of means,
who have sensibly concluded that of
all localities, this is the place for ele
gant and beautiful home.' ; a place
where they can enjoy a climate which
shames that of Nice and Mintonc;
where the heliotrope grows to such
size that it can be trained over the
second story of a house, blooming in
mid-winter, and where California ca
naries and mocking birds sit on the
boughs of the orange and lemon tro< s
nnd pour out their delicious songs in
February. Hut the five thousand per
sons who are coming into Los Angeles
county annually are coming hen; to
make money, nnd we propose lo take
a glance at their chances. These last
are numerous. In (lie first place, and
we would proclaim it in Gath and an
nounce it boldly in Askalon, Los An
geles county is capable of containing
one million prosperous people; and,
some day or other, she will hold that
number. Hie areaof productive funn
ing land In this county is simply
prodigious. Hitherto the ridiculous
idea has been held that only such
lands are available as can be irrigated.
That is the idea held by strangers. It
is as aerial and unfounded as the base
less fabric of a vision. To siiow how
entirely absurd it is, it is only neces
sary to instant* the fact fhat, in the
worst years of drouth, 1803 and 1864,
over four hundred thousand dollars
worth of produce was shipped from
tin's county. There are extensive
tracts of land in Lns Angeles county
which are as completely independent
of irrigation as tbe bottom lands of
the Mississippi or the farms of Ches
ter county, Pennsylvania. In the see
oud place, until twenty years ago, no
one overheard of drouth in this coun
ty, and we are likely to have a succes
sion of a dozen years characterized by
the copious rains of the present sea
son. Old Californians, who have
lived in this county for nearly three
quarters of a century, affirm that
within their recollections there have
been but five seasons of drouth within
the last half century. It was at tirst
thought that no lands in California
admitted of cultivation, and yet this
erroneous Idea did not prevent a young
farmer, who began in 1860, from real
izing $120,000 from the cultivation in
wheat ofl'of 600 acres of land in Santa
Cruz county, a thing which could not
bo done with 6,000 acres in the East.
Another farmer who purchased in the
beginning of last year, 160 acres of
: land lying near the Centinela liancho,
for which he paid 925 per acre, sowed
the whole to barley, and the crop
netted him 537 50 per acre. In con
sidering the rainfall in Los Angeles
county it should not be forgotten that
the rain-gauge for several years past
has shown a less rainfall than comes
throughout more than half of the
Btate of Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois, Missouri and Kansas. Besides
here we have no grasshoppers to make
us afraid, and no potato bug to recall
to our memory Phako and the lean
kine. Not only can great portions of
Los Angeles county be farmed without
irrigation, but if it were established
that irrigation be needed, artesian
water can be obtained at slight
deptlis over a large portion of this
county, aud inexhaustible surface
wells everywhere. This, of eourse,in
volves some slight outlay, but the re
sults are immense. We are prepared
to demonstrate that an industrious
man can make more money oft" of ten
acres in Los Angeles county than off
of fifty acres in Ohio or Pennsyl
vania. It is a well known fact thai,
in these States, the average yield of
wheat to the acre has fallen to eight
or nine bushels. This would give a
gross yield to the acre of from $10 to
$11, or a net yield of less than IS per
acre. Compare this with the results
in the case of the two farmers i astancod
above. Take ten acres of grapes in
Los Angeles county, raised for tho
purpose of being converted Into wine.
The yield from General Stonkman's
one hundred acre vineyard for the
year 1874 WM 80,060 gallons of wine
and 7,000 gallons of brandy. These are
staple articles all the world over, and
need never fear a glutted market. The
taste for the pure wine of California is
constantly on the increase in the East.
General Stonkman sold his wine in
the vats for fifty cents per gallon,
making for the whole crop of wii.e
and brandy some $17,000. The total
outlay was $1,640, leaving a net profit
per acre of $154. The General only ir
rigates his grapes once a year, anil he
says they will grow to perfection
without irrigation anywhere in Los
AngeU s county. As they hare pro
llficalsyrn their third year tho vine
yardest is well rewarded for his wait
ing. The enormous profits of orange,
lemon and lime culture are well un
derstood. As the orange tree docs
not yield a paying crop until it has
attained the age of nine or ten years,
persons of small means are restricted
to growing them merely in their gar
dens. But it is a rare delight to an
Eastern person to be able to surround
himself with oranges, lemons, figs,
walnuts and almonds, all of which
will, in a few years, be a source of
profit, and in every stage of growth
are a source of delight. Tobacco will
yield five crops in the year, and will
pay a profit of from $500 to $800 per
acre. At the recent sales in Louis
ville, Kentucky, California tobacco
sold at from 80 to 100 per cent, above
all other brands. Willi millions of
acres of the finest land under the sun,
with pure, sweet water accessible
everywhere with very Blight expendi
ture of money and time, with the
finest climate in the world, and with
landscape beauties which charm the
cultured traveler, we feel assured that
the half has not been told as to the ca
pabilities and possibilities of Los An
geles oounty. The enormous wealth
which is already gathered here is but
a circumstance to that which the as
sessor will ascertain ten years from
to-day. Our county will be dotted
with a hundred prosperous villages,
the centers of surrounding prosperous
agricultural districts. This city will
contain within six years twenty-five
thousand inhabitants. Every fertile
rancho under an intelligent system of
colonization will contain many hun
dreds of prosperous and contented peo
ple. The twelve inches of rain that
have fallen in the last six days augurs
the beneficence of the weather clerk,
but more money can be made in Los
Angeles county by digging for water
and using it, than can be realized
from the same number of acres in the
East, even where the flood-gates of
heaven are always open. There the
existence of the farmer is at best a
mere slaviug for six months in Iho
year to produce enough feed for his
cattle for the remaining six. In the
face of such facts what wonder thai
we anticipate n brilliant future for the
at present prosperous and lovely Los
Angeles city and valley?
DRINKING PLACES.
What Ihe City Father* ttM «» Nay
A hunt siilooiin.
The City Fathers had an animated
discussion yesterday concerning sa
loons. The bond of saloon-keepers
was raised from $500 to $2,000.
Mr. Huber was tho originator of the
amended ordinance. He maintained
thai every orderly saloon - keeper
would lie willing to give the addi
tional bond ; only the evil-dispos >d
ones would howl. The "dead-falls."
" foul pits" nnd "low groceries" me
the curse to tho community. There
the desperadoes, cut-throats and sneak
thieves are ■tieneMft We must shut
these places up. Councilman Huber
said that he had seen women go Hito
low dens on l.os Angeles street, with
merely n "chemise" on, and some
had less than that on.
Mr. Mascarel pronounced this a stab
at poor, but resectable, saloon men.
You might as well ask them for a
bond of $50,000 as for a bond of $2,000.
It was merely an effort to drown out
poor men. If you want to raise the
rich saloon mail's bond, dp it; but let
the saloon-keeper alone.
Mr. Leahy' wanted the " low dens "
closed, as in that case no( half the
present police force would be required.
Mr. Workman objected to oppress
ing the poor man. Just as much dis
order occurs, just as much crime is
concocted in "guilded palaces" as in
the poor man's saloon.
Mr. Huber insisted on the $2,000
clause. He wanted men to bo able to
be out at night without having a big
navy strapped to his rear. Owing to
the bad characters sheltered nt these
low groggeries, a man is frightened at
night by the mere shadow of a tree.
Mr. Lichtenberger said he did not
desire to close up saloons —he occa
sionally "took a nip" himself—but, he
wanted all low dens closed. At these
little saloons, he had noticed that on
Saturday nights hard working me
chanics were enticed within and
robbed of their week's wages before
they hud a chance to go to their
homes.
The bond of saloon-men was fixed
at 5?2,OO0 by the following vote:
Ayes: Leahy, ldchtenberger, Hu
ber, Teed, Muilaly, Woli'skill, Robin
son—7.
Noes: Workman, Campbell, Car
moua, Masearel, Sotello—s.
Don Masearel reminded the Council
that the Mayor might veto the ordi
nance, and then it would require a
two-thirds vote to make it a law.
The new ordinance, besides retim
ing a bond ot $2,000, with two or more
good securities, to keep a bar, saloon
or dance-house, conditioned that the
proprietor will pay all dues and li
censes; keep a quiet and orderly house
aud promptly suppress any disorder
iv his establishment, handing the
disturbers of the peace over to the
officers of the law.
A Singular Duel in San Francisco.
San Fhancisco, January 20th.—
Yesterday morning, shortly aftej day
light, a duel was fought near lilat*k
Point, in wliicli a physician, resident
of tin's city, and a former office-holder
under tiie Federal Qovemment in
Louisiana, who is here on a visit, were
tiie principals. The physician was
accompanied by a friend named Breck
inridge and a Mr. Williams, of Oak
land, acted as friend for the ex-oflice
liolder. There was also a surgeon on
the ground, but we were unable to
learn his name. The arms used wore
navy revolvers. The terms were that
each party should lire until one or the
other fell. At the first lire the physi
cian was wounded in the left shoulder,
and that ended the duel. The parties
separated and the wounded man was
taken to the oflice of a surgical friend
on Sixth street, where the bullet was
extracted. The physician, who was
an olliccr iv the Southern army under
Gen. Bragg, was Instrumental In hav
ing the brother of the ex-office-holder
shot as a spy. The ex-office-holder
voweii he would be revenged on the
man who had caused his brother's
death. Soon after the war they met
in one of the Southern States, but no
serious results followed. A few days
ago the ex-office-holder arrived in this
city ou a visit. He heard thut the
physician resided here, and sent him
a challenge, which was accepted.
Friends endeavored to prevent the
meeting, but their eilbrts were futile.
The preliminary arrangements were
made, and the duel took place as al
ready stated. When tho first word
was given, they took aim at each
other, but at the word "lire," the phy
sician shot iv the air, while the other
fired directly at him. The physician
insisted ou another shot, but his an
tagonist refused to fight with a man
who shot in the air. When the phy
sician found there was not to be an
other trial, lie made a desperate effort
to kill himself. He put a pistol to his
head, but the cap snapped. It is be
lieved that the physician wants to die,
as he has been very despondent of late,
and has talked freely about suicide to
his ftiends.
Destructive Avalanches In Nevada.
Viroinia City, January 18th.—
About 2 o'clock this morning a heavy
avalanche took place from the side of
Mount Davidson, which crushed in
the rear portion of a house on Howard
street, opposite tho old Hale & Nor
cross hoisting works. Three miners-
Isaac Jewell, Moses Willey and Thos.
Champion—were sleeping in one of
the rear rooms,all of whom were buried
by snow and debris. The neighbors
aroused and began the work of exca
vating them. Campion was taken out
unhurt, save from e.xposure; Jewell
was dead when found; Willey was alive
when taken out, but died 8. moment
afterwards. Jewell wns unmarried,
but Willey leaves a wife and six chil
dren, in Cornwall, England. The en
tire house was lifted from its founda
tion and partially overturned.
At 10:20 another terrible a valance
swept down the side of Mount David
son, carrying away two houses ou the
upper side of Howard street. One of
them was tho residence of William
Dieble. It was swept from its founda
tion, and the fragments were swept
down the hill two hundred yards.
Mrs. Dieble, hearing the roar, escaped
from the falling timbers, but was
buried in the snow, yet escaping un
hurt. Dieble was rescued badly
bruised, but will recover. The adjoin
ing house was occupied by Fred Ben
sou, the janitor of tho Legislature.
His wife and two ohildren, one an
infant throe months old, were in the
back part of the house. The snow
struck it, which was crushed In, the
inmate! being buried in tho snow.
When entrance was effected the infant
whs found sitting in a ohalr unhurt.
The mother aud Mttlegirl were rescued
Buhaeiiuently almost uninjured.
