Southern Californian GEO. O'KNOX, EDITOR. SATURDAY ... JAN. 4. 1873 The Prospects of the Santa Ana Valley for 1873. In 1868 the owners of the Stearns' ranches subdivided and offered for sale their lands. At that time attention had just been attracted to this portion of the State, and during 1869 large sales were made to farmers coming from the Northern portion of California and Oregon. At the commencement of 1872 the valley of the Santa Ana had passed through two years of severe drought, and in consequence thereof the purchasers of land were sadly crippled in their resources. Many of them were unable to meet their payments as they matured, and all were compelled to practice the strictest economy in order to keep their heads above water. Previous to this time however, Glassell and Chapman, large land owners on the East side of the Santa Ana river, had constructed a mammoth ditch and thrown into the market several thousand acres lying under the ditch. The towns of Santa Ana and Richland had been founded, settlements had arisen around them and the tide of immigration had steadily fortunes are ever, and that his bors will reap a most ample hand. We venture the prophecy that the close of 1873 we shall be able to record the inhabitants of the lay of the Santa Ana as the prosperous people in the State California. EDITORIAL NOTES. Referring to our local co'n we see that there is a notice meeting to be held at Fairview the purpose of organizing an cultural club. This is a step in right direction. There is not so calculated to create a unit action and of interest amongst people as the formation of these societies. We quote in this connection an article taken from the Do Ohio Blade which fully expires our views: Farmers need mental friction. We man reads, or what he thinks reckless discussion as much as food does chew. The man who looks at life from a stand point sees but one phase of it that very imperfectly. We press matter of farmers' conventions, clauses, sociables, again upon the action of farm readers, because we have abiding faith in its utility. It is an educational agency no neighborhood of will be progressive farmers can afford to for "Why, sir." said a farmer to us to "our Club has done more to improve agriculture of our town and increase market value of our farms, than all agencies combined. Mea who were posed to know little, and almost with influence, have come right to the while others, inflated with egoism." their heads above water. Previous to this time however, Glassell and Chapman, large land owners on the East side of the Santa Ana river, had constructed a mammoth ditch and thrown into the market several thousand acres lying under the ditch. The towns of Santa Ana and Richland had been founded, settlements had arisen around them and the tide of immigration had steadily, though slowly, poured in. During the more favorable season of 1872, the greater portion of the land purchased, was placed under cultivation and the crops of grain raised therefrom, although not up to the average yield, have relieved in a great measure the necessities of the farmers. At the present time, the Los Angeles Land Company have made sales of 40,000 acres, leaving unsold about 50,000 acres of irrigable land; Glassell and Chapman and others on the East side of the river have sold 20,000 acres and have remaining about 25,000 acres. All of the land in the bands of farmers, comprising 60,000 acres, will be cultivated during the present year, and with favorable seasons will produce two crops, one of small grain and the other of Indian corn. Estimating the average yield of grain at thirty bushels to the acre and of corn at fifty bushels, there will be raised 500,000 sacks of grain and 3,000,000 bushels of corn. Anaheim has 800 acres old vineyards, and at least 200 acres of young vines, which have been set out in the vicinity will come into bearing during the present year. The estimated yield from each vine is one gallon of wine, making the vintage of 1873 amount to 1,000,000 gallons of wine. The tract, to which we allude, is but a small portion of the valley, comprising only the settlements bordering upon the Santa Ana river. Los Nietos, through which the San Gabriel River flows, is equally large and at present more densely populated. To the South lie the plains of the San Joaquin and Trabuco and the valley of the San Juan river, containing within their boundaries more than twice the quantity of their heads above water.

a small portion of the valley, comprising only the settlements bordering upon the Santa Ana river. Los Nietos, through which the San Gabriel River flows, is equally large and at present more densely populated. To the South lie the plains of the San Joaquin and Trabuco and the valley of the San Juan river, containing within their boundaries more than twice the quantity of land comprised in the valleys of the Santa Ana and San Gabriel. These tracts are now awaiting capital, population and rail-roads to make them equally valuable with the other settlements. On the lands still in the hands of the original owners, there are over 150,000 sheep. Each sheep will shear six pounds of wool, which will make the clip during the year 900,000 pounds of wool, representing at the lowest valuation, one hundred thousand dollars. All the signs of the times combine to prove that 1873 will be a good crop year. Four successive dry years have never been known; the rain, which we have had, has fallen little by little almost every day for two weeks, and has consequently been entirely absorbed by the ground on which it has fallen; no hot, parching winds have arisen after the rains to dry the moist earth; clouds have overcast the sky during the whole of the past week and there is every appearance that the rain has not yet ceased. We know that all things indicate a most prosperous year for the farmer. We believe that his trials and mis- the Committee, it appears probable that this bill will receive favorable consideration and report at an early day. Mr. Houghton's bill is opened by the Land Office Lawyer Washington, who finds their place in keeping up the present state affairs, whereby the settlement of the land cases is prolonged in nitely. The passage of this bill brings about an early and final element of the many doubtful claims under Mexican and Spanish law that now hinder the development of the fairest portions of our State. For some time past we have ted the course pursued by the nation regarding land matters in Southern portion of the State, more particularly in San D. County. We are sorry to see a newspaper exhibiting so inability in its editorial management can allow prejudice to so blind to become entirely oblivious to rights possessed by a large and fluential portion of its readers.

In all other cases that come under our directance, the injustice has been our other side. We know that the cheros of San Diego and Los Angeles counties, have earnestly strived to have definitely located the barries of their grants. We know that the squatters who forebids possession of the land of the raiser, killed his cattle, harassed in every imaginable way, and in such a manner that, in any STORIAL NOTES.

In no other way can the erudition and sublime wisdom exhibited by this body be accounted for. Every one knows that no Chinaman believes in the Deity; every one knows that it is against all the principles of common sense to allow an infidel to take an oath, which he regards as a farce and consequently by a course of reasoning peculiar to the gentlemen immortalized by Shakspero and Dickens, and adopted by our law-makers, all Chinamen must be allowed to testify in courts of law. Those who have had the misfortune to be residents of the Southern States since the enfranchisement of the Negro, can form some faint conception of the practical workings of this provision of the code. The present imbroglio in Louisiana is one of the results of placing the "man and brother" upon a political equality with the white man. What the result will be in this State, taking into consideration the superior intelligence of the "heather Chinee" and his consequent greater capacity to be wicked and malicious, Heaven only knows. It is beyond the power of man to even foreshadow the future. Shades of Socrates and Cicero defend us! we never were a know-nothing in the political sense of the term, but we are ready now to climb a greased pole, ride a billy-goat or perform any other hazardous feat to assist in undoing the doings of that body of "potent grave and reverend Seignors."
