SOUTHERN CALIFORNIAN. SATURDAY, JANUARY 12, 1872. CHAS. A. GARDNER...Ed'r & Prop'n. Notice J. C Hill Jr. is hereby authorized to receive subscriptions for the Southern Californian. Seeking a Better Climate. We have just received a letter from a gentleman of East Portland Oregon, a physician and druggist of long practice and well established business, who writes: "On account of my wife's and son's poor health, in this agueland, and Oregon mists I have concluded to dispose of my property here and look for another location. After perusing in the November number of the Overland a very favorable account of Los Angeles County and Anaheim, I made up my mind to address you a letter of inquiry. Is the country what it is represented to be." We can assure the gentleman, from personal experience, that this country is all that it is represented to be, and we think, even more. From want of development hitherto, the wonderful productiveness of its soil has not yet been fully tested, except in isolated instances. We think that the coming season will make facts and figures in the history of Los Angeles County that will astonish even its old citizens. We beg to acknowledge, in the name of the whole County, the efficient service that has been rendered us by our favorite home magazine the Overland, worms to their maturity, and the gathering of the worms, is about six or seven weeks, may between May and July. It will be seen that the time can well be spent every one, being between the sowing and harvesting of field crops. Many there is in the South France who raise a crop of acorns every year in their own rooms and attend to the duties of their household at the same time, leaving the children the duty of gathering the leaves. Our climate in the county cann of be surpassed for the branch of industry, being free from thunder storms in the Summer months. No fear need be entertained of diseases to the worms, having been positively ascertained that the worst of all is caused by the flashing of lightning. For want of time I must defend till next week the details of the treatment of the worms. It shall come, [COMMUNICATED] WESTMINSTER Jan., 10th, 1872. EDITOR SOUTHERN CALIFORNIAN—Perhaps your numerous readers would like to know what we are doing at Westminster. I will try to tell you. We have a great deal of work to do and all seem to be willing to do it. Since the rain all has been activity. We were busy before preparing for work we are doubly busy now doing it. On clear days the sun finds many teams in the field. And many acres of land have been turned over already. The colonists generally seem disposed to plant ful productiveness of its soil has not yet been fully tested, except in isolated instances. We think that the coming season will make facts and figures in the history of Los Angeles County that will astonish even its old citizens. We beg to acknowledge, in the name of the whole County, the efficient service that has been rendered us by our favorite home magazine the Overland, in assisting to make known to the world the advantages of this favored region, and we hope that the enterprising publishers, Messrs. Carmany & Co., will reap the reward that their able management deserves. There is another moral to this, and that is, that our climate will tell, in the prosperity of the country, much as we have been disposed to under-estimate its importance herefore. The are thousands of people throughout the Union, who like Dr. Mack of East Portland are well located already, in a business point of view, but who lack just the one thing which money cannot buy, a pleasant and healthful climate. And this sanitary loadstone will yet draw to us, from all parts of the world, people of culture, intelligence wealth and industry, until our every foot of ground shall have been occupied, and every latent power of the earth made subservient to the will of man. Correspondence. [Communicated.] Editor Southern Californian. In my last communication I stated that in all the countries of Europe mulberry, olive, walnut, and all the trees of a large ramification, were usually planted, fence like, on the edges of the land, to avoid any superfluous shade to the other crops. Let me now urge upon all who have a piece of land the importance of planting these trees. The mulberry tree will yield leaves sufficient on the third year for a small crop of silk worms, and rapidly increase every year, and I can safely state here that for the time and money spent there is no crop, to my knowledge more tell you. We have a great deal of work to do and all seem to be willing to do it. Since the rain all has been activity. I we were busy before preparing for work we are doubly busy now doing it. On clear days the sun finds many teams in the field. And many acres of land have been turned over already. The colonist generally seem disposed to plant corn. Although most intend to put in barley or oats for hay. Many trees will be planted this year, and quite a number of grape vines particularly the raisin grape. A month from now this region will present quite a different aspect and those who have not visited it for a year will be unable to recognize the place at all. There are now about thirty houses in the colony. Some portions of the old roads have been plowed up and new ones laid out in comfort with the section lines. We anticipated some trouble in persuading people to keep in the roads but intend to insist on our rights. Of course we suffer many of the inconveniences of new settlers we make mistakes and find our former calculations eroneous in many respects, but patience and perserverance will accomplish wonders, and I think the people here have an abundance of both. We are very much in need of a blacksmith shop. It is quite to far too go to Anaheim when any little thing needs repairing. I suppose that within three miles of this house there are twenty wagons and thirty plows and not a blacksmith shop within seven miles. Perhaps some one of the enterprising smiths of Anaheim will open a branch shop here for his profit and our accommodation. A few acres say a hundred are already planted to small grain, and before many days the irrepressible combat will commence between the farmers and the stock raisers, one or the other must succumb. The interests are diametrically opposed. As a general thing the farmers can not afford to fence, and the stock raisers will not buy land or berd his stock. If the old settlers and land A few acres say a hundred are already planted to small grain, and before many days the irrepressible combat will commence between the farmers and the stock raisers, one or the other must succumb. The interests are diametrically opposed. As a general thing the farmers can not afford to fence, and the stock raisers will not buy land or herd his stock. If the old settlers and land owners of the Southern portions of California desire to have the country settled, and the price of real estate increase in value they must insist on having the new comers protected from roving bands of cattle and horses. For this purpose we need such a law as prevails in the bay countries where many of the farmers are unfenced. There if any stock comes on any ones premises it can be taken up and put in a public pound damages claimed, and if necessary the stock can be sold to recover damages. Let us then beg of you to urge the passage of a "no fence" law by the present legislature. More soon. (Communicated) Farmers, rally! rally! rally! Two thousand head of brance horses broke the enclosure at Bolna Chica Ranch, and are scattering over the entire Stearns' Ranches, in everybody's grain fields and vegetable gardens. Are we to stand this another-year? Where is the No Fence law petition? Hand it around and let's all sign it. We must have this all fixed at once, or two more years will roll around and we shall be pestered nigh unto death. Sign it! NEWS STORIES. Pacific County. Whalers are doing well at San Diego.
