INDUCEMENTS to Land Purchasers. In no other portion of California can land be purchased on such easy terms, as in that section of Los Angeles county, of which Anaheim is the central point and lying within the limits of the ranchos owned by the Los Angeles and San Bernardino Land Association. The ranchos which are offered for sale by this company have been patented, and their boundaries definitely located by the United States, consequently there is no trouble to be apprehended from squatters. The land is divided into tracts of ten acres and upwards, and can be purchased at prices ranging from ten to sixty dollars per acre, according to the distance from Anaheim. Only one-fourth of the purchase money must be paid in cash, and for the balance, one, two and three years time is given, thereby enabling the farmer of small means to pay for his land out of its productions. Any portion of the tract can be irrigated and is susceptible of the highest degree of cultivation, producing two crops of grain each year. The land more ment all the land they desire. It has "convenient access to ship and car." Its harbor is pronounced by the engineers of the Coast Survey to be the best on the Pacific coast, and the trains of the Texas Pacific will unload their freights in deep water. It possesses a "cool, dry climate;" the average temperature from January to December is 62° Fahrenheit, with no fogs and only about eight inches of rain. The authorities at Washington, however, are cognizant of the many advantages possessed by San Diego as a Military depot and will act in due time regardless of the imagined rights claimed by the old fogies of San Francisco. The time is not far distant, when the citizens of that city will learn that empty words cannot retard the growth of Southern California and its Sea port, and will realize that the "dog in the manger" policy pursued by them will only redound to their own personal detriment. EDITORIAL NOTES. Most encouraging accounts are given of cotton-raising in California. In Merced, Fresno, Tulare and Kern counties the yield was a ballet to the acre. The "California Cotton Growers Association" have purchased 10,000 acres of land near Bakersfield, and will plant this year 2,000 acres in cotton. The crop of 1872, as given by the San Francisco Commercial Herald, amounts to 1,500 bales, and realized 22 cent Anaheim. Only one-fourth of the purchase money must be paid in cash, and for the balance, one, two and three years time is given, thereby enabling the farmer of small means to pay for his land out of its productions. Any portion of the tract can be irrigated and is susceptible of the highest degree of cultivation, producing two crops of grain each year. The land more immediately around Anaheim is yearly increasing in value. Ten-acre lots, which two years ago sold for twenty-five dollars per acre, are now readily disposed of at an advance of thirty-five dollars. Now is the time for farmers to purchase. When Anaheim becomes the County Seat of the new county, which will be created by the Legislature of 1873-4, these same lands will have more than doubled their present value and cannot be purchased. It is impossible in the brief space allotted to a newspaper article, to give even a faint conception of the fertility of the soil of the valley and the mildness of its climate. We can only advise all who desire to make a change for the better, to visit our section and judge for themselves. We are confident that they will be more than pleased; we are equally confident that they will remain with us. The Location of the Pacific Arsenal. The probable location of the Chief Arsenal of the Pacific Coast is exciting some attention at the present time. The Union has advocated the claims of San Diego whilst the Alta inclines to some one of the smaller towns in the harbor of San Francisco. The Alta says; "A cheap site, convenient access to ship and car, cheap water and fuel, and a cool dry climate, free from malaria, are important considerations in the determination of the location." We agree with that paper that those are important considerations, but they are not of sufficient importance to outweigh certain other advantages of location which will undoubtedly most encouraging accounts are given of cotton-raising in California. In Merced, Fresno, Tulare and Kern counties the yield was a balancing to the acre. The "California Cotton Growers Association" have purchased 10,000 acres of land near Bakersfield, and will plant this year 2,000 acres in cotton. The crop of 1872, as given by the San Francisco Commercial Herald, amounts to 1,500 bales, and realized 22 cents per pound. In the report of the Department of Agriculture for December, 1875, we observe that the yield per acre of wheat, corn and rye is greater in California than in any other State. The average is: 185 bushels of wheat, 29.1 bushels of rye and 40.1 bushels of corn to the acre. Where the farmers of the fruit-producing counties have ceased to raise grain these averages will be materially augmented. As it is now, California compares most favorably with the Western States in the production of all cereals. In our report of the number of gallons of wine made by the different vineyardists, published on January 11th, Mr. Hartung should have been credited with 14,000 gallons. This will make the vintage of 1875 over 500,000 gallons. The Chronicle censured Gov Booth because he showed clemency to Denovan. It now censures the Government for adopting several measures to quiet the Modoc "Consistency is a jewel" as hard to find as diamonds in Arizona. Denovan killed one man because he would not pay him eight dollar Capt. Jack and his band killed many men for a somewhat similar reason. Were we to express an opinion it would be either that Denovan should be paid his money and the Indians given their land; or else that every one, whether acting singly or in communities, should severely punished for a violation of the law. San Francisco has another attack of "Goat Island" spasms. If a pair of the island is ceded to Stanford The Alta says; "A cheap site, convenient access to ship and car, cheap water and fuel, and a cool dry climate, free from malaria, are important considerations in the determination of the location." We agree with that paper that these are important considerations, but they are not of sufficient importance to outweigh certain other advantages of location which will undoubtedly govern the action of the military authorities. The first question which would naturally arise in determining the location of an arsenal, would be; Where are the arms and munitions of war manufactured and stored in this arsenal to be used? In the commencement of all defensive warfare on the frontier. What point, then is most centrally located? San Francisco and its adjacent towns during the winter season are completely isolated from the interior of the country and are five hundred miles farther from the Southern frontier than San Diego. San Diego is the ocean terminus of a railway traversing the country a few miles distant from the Mexican Boundary; it is, or will be, as nearly connected with the coast South of Point Conception as San Francisco; it will be, in the next five years, the central point of a line of railway extending along the frontier of the United States from Puget Sound to the Rio Grande, and is in every respect best adapted to become the great ordnance store-house of the South and West. Besides this, it is a cheap site. The San Diegans will give the Govern- San Francisco has another attack of "Goat Island" spasms. If a part of the island is ceded to Stanford Co., it is thought that San Francisco can not be properly fortified; it is not given up, there will be no necessity to protect the city as Stanford will make Oakland or Vallejo his terminus and consequently the metropolis of the Pacific. It is heard rending to have no place to get off of the frying pan except into the fin. Do the thing gracefully, citizens of the Golden city, and pay him to take possession of the Island. Los Angeles County allowed itself to swallowed without a struggle. Look at us now; we are happy because we have nothing. Napoleon 111, ex-Emperor France, died at Chiselhunt, England on the morning of the 9th instar. His life has been an exemplification of what can be accomplished by determination and singularity of purpose. Although the measures used by him in attaining an end, we oftentimes arbitrary and despotic his rule was beneficial to France and the French people. Had not the disease, which finally caused his death, impaired his faculties, mental and physical, France would have ranked among the finest nations of Europe. Town Talk! If there's a hole in your seats I make ye feel it A child's amaz ye takin' notes, And faith he'll preach it. His name was not Norval, though on the Trabuco hills He led his woolly flocks — and generally interlaced with the rights and privileges of a free-born American citizen, who had "equated" on the ranch. THIS FREE-BORN AMERICAN, who had evidently studied the land editoof the San Diego Union, destroyed our Frenchman's corrals, shot at his sheep and finally attempted to give him a whipping, all because he had sent from the owners, and then occupied the ranch a fraction of which F.B.A. claimed. The Frenchman made complaint before the Judge of San Juan Capistrano, who, like Mickey Free, has been transformed from a Wild Irishman into a Spanish Don, and his enemy was arrested. Free-Born American, who had seen and admired Booth in "The Robbers." made his appearance in THE HIGH COURT OF JUSTICE at San Juan after nightfall with a shawl gracefully hanging over his elft shoulder. F.B.A. American,—"Ha! the night is beautiful." Judge of San Juan—"It is." F.B.A.—"Hither I've come at your bequest." Judge—"I see you have." F.B.A.—"Am I to be deprived of life and liberty" Because in the exuberance of my wrath I booted well yon Frenchman? Can this thing be, And is it thus?" Judge of S.J.—"It can, and is" F.B.A.—"I would have counsel." In The bright lexicon of youth There's no such word as fail.' Were I to be arraigned Jurstries. ORANGE, LEMON, and LIME TREES.

Free-Born American weakened, the trial proceeded in the usual way and the Frenchman was trimmphant... ONE MORE UNfortunate Drumming with spunk, Rashly importunate, Went and got drunk, and then went into the bar room of the Anaheim Hotel and went to sleep. Town Talk and his friends found him there.
