What an Honest Man Living Down in That Section has to Say About it. — > : Major Horace Bell, editor of the Los . Angeles Porcupine, is one of the ablest . editors in the State. He is in the . prime of life,-tall, thin and remark. ably agile—and he bas shown himself to be so remarkably: active in a} “‘scrimmage”’ that the bad men of his . district have cultivated the habit of. letting him alone. The Major is about . and Sierra counties, at Sacramento, San j. > Francisco—in fact, throughout the State . & CALKINS-—} . in upon’ us unawayes. t The pa-: eats have pains about the . «10st and sides, and sometimes nthe hack. They feel dull ind sleepy; the mouth has a: vad taste, especially in the acrning. A. sort of sticky slime ‘olleets about the teeth.The ‘>petite is poor. There is a -ccling like a heavy load on the ‘tomach; sometimes a faint, all sone sensation at the pit of the tomach which food does not satisfy. The eyes are sunken the hands and feet become cold and clammy. After a while a cough sets in, at first dry, but after a few months it is attended with a greenish-colored exectoration, The patient feels tired all the while, and sleep doesnot seem, to afford any rest. After a time he becomes nervous, irritable and gloomy, -of the southern part of the State, with . the exception of the Porcupine; has . gone in with the ‘‘boomers,”’ and join. ae, four to twenty timés its value. From . the first, and all along, Major Bell has . tate eh tet te © TT ad and prove, in the end,’ anything but . blessings to the community, and in his . paper for December 3d hesays: ‘‘The. state of the country, meaning, of . course, Los Angelos county, is, to say . promising. Within the’last year there has been a great change in the ownership of land. “Land upon which the owners could never make a living by cultivation, land far removed from the city and never worth, for farming purposes, more than $10 per” avre—all land and no water—hus been sold at prices ranging from $1,000 to $3,070 per acre. This rule has prevailed everywhere, Vineyards and cultivated farms have been thus sold, and : -that which was cultivated to profit ie has been relegated to acondition worse than desert, because cut up into lots in size ranging from 25x100 to 50x125 feet, and sold: to persons who never intended them for any practical use, but thought some bigger fools than themselves might come along and make an advance on the purchase. People in Los Angeles have purchased fifty-foot lots ten, twenty and thirty miles from their places of business, and where they never intend to, or could, goand live; and thus it has been that cultivated lands have been abandoned, cut up and thrown into the furios maelstrom of speculation. And this our interested and subsidized press calls unparalleled prosperity. We call it galvanized activity. To our knowledge not one acre has been sold for the purpose of cultivation. No farmers buy land. There is none they ean buy. If they have any they can’t make a living on, they sell it, come to Tos Angeles, join the great army of real estate agents and become parasites on the public weal. They join in the hurrah of great prosperty. . No money. ves is being earned here. Noone is employed and paid by money legitimately earned here. Every dollar of the millions being spent in improverr ents is being earned elsewhere. This we eall prosperity. It looks very much as though the time may cone when the money men stop coming. Thetime when some one will either have to go to work and produce pumpkins and pigs, leave the countzy., or starve. Some countries raise something to eat, wear, send away and sell. ‘We now live -wholly on climate and 50-foot lots, and havea great abundance of both. This may be all right. It may be a new way of building up a country. The country is improving wonderfully. But when a man has spent all his money in building a fine j house, and the furor. of speculation eed j ; shall have died out, how can he make aliving? He can’t goto sheep herding because the sheep are all gone. He can’t goto wine making becanse the vineyards have all drie] up. He ae: ‘ can’t raise pigs qnd corn, poultry and ein pumpkins, because a fifty-foot lot won't i raise enouzh to support a family, even ‘ in this prolific soil, and he won’t be ihe able to buy enough fifty-foot lots ‘o a make a ten acre field, because then he i ‘won’t have any money. Alas! should may ; our Eastern visitors fail us, should r they cease to come and go and spend their money. Then! Oh! What then? “Let us pray that they may continue to comein droves and forever!” } = Some Senators think Lamar a little . : to old for a Justice of the Supreme : Court.
