Southern Californian GEO. C KNOX, EDITOR. SATURDAY ... JAN. 25. 1873 BROAD HIGHWAYS. The indifference exhibited in all new countries, but more especially in America to the proper laying-out and improvement of public highways, is an error which is never recognized until it is too late to apply the remedy. In this country, wide roads are not only an ornament but a necessity. The ditches, used in conveying water to the different vineyards and orchards, must be constructed on the public lands. The Los Angeles Land Company, appreciating this fact, stipulates in selling land, that a strip, sixty feet in width, shall be given on each section line for roads, ditches, and other public necessities. Sixty feet is barely space enough. We would suggest to those planting trees along the exterior lines of their farms to place the outer row of trees fifty inches of thirty feet from the section line. It will only be one acre subtracted from each quarter-section and will enhance the value of your property quite one hundred per cent. Beauty, either natural or artificial from Yreka of January 20th, announce that four hundred troops under the command of Gen. Wheaton, attacked the Modocs in their intrenchments, and were repulsed with severe loss. When will the government learn to act with discretion in conducting its Indian affairs? This shameful defeat, which could have easily been avoided with a proper knowledge of the strength of the enemy, will be undoubtedly followed by most disastrous consequences to the settlers in the immediate vicinity of the battle-ground. If the Colyer, Howard and other Indian advisers were the sufferers, instead of the wives and children of the frontiersmen, it would not so much matter. Unfortunately, however, their love for "poor Lo" does not constrain them to become practical philanthropists. One of the most admirable traits in the German character is their love of music. One and all believe that The man that hath no music in himself. Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds. Is fit for treason, strategems and spoils." And therefore utterly unworthy to be trusted. Rich and poor, laborers and land-owners unite to forget their labors and troubles in listening to sweet sounds, and as Some chord in unison with what they hear. Is touched within them." public necessities. Sixty feet is barely space enough. We would suggest to those planting trees along the exterior lines of their farms to place the outer row of trees fifty inches of thirty feet from the section line. It will only be one acre subtracted from each quarter-section and will enhance the value of your property quite one hundred per cent. Beauty, either natural or artificial, is a prime attracting power. Do not mar the natural beauty of our valley by a false economy in laying out your vineyards and orange plantations. Leave room for wide streets. THE ROOT OF THE EVIL. The many murders which have recently been committed in all parts of the country, from New York to San Francisco, and the extreme difficulty experienced in securing convictions therefor, have caused in the public mind a revolution of feeling, in regard to the practice of carrying concealed weapons, which will go far towards the prevention, in the future, of this epidemic of crime. Nine-tenths of the murders that occur are done on the impulse of the moment, and without premeditation. "How off the presence of means to do ill does Makes deeds ill done." Was recorded of human nature even in an age when each one relied upon himself, when the law was powerless to protect life, and when "It was held That valour was the chief virtue, and Most dignified the haver." In both the Stokes and Russell cases the plea of justification was made because each criminal professed to believe that his enemy was about to kill him, and he fired in self defence. His blood was hot, in the one case, with hate—and in the other, with liquor; the means were at hand, and the ill deed was done. The act of placing upon one's person a pistol or knife, must be done with premeditation—in a cool, deliberate manner. Make this act a felony punishable with many long years of imprisonment, and the root The man that hath no music in himself Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds. Is fit for treasons, strategems and spoils," And therefore utterly unworthy to be trusted. Rich and poor, laborers and land-owners unite to forget their labors and troubles in listening to sweet sounds, and as "Some chord in unison with what they hear Is touched within them." Lose the hardness of feeling which is naturally engendered by their work day life. Americans would do well to emulate their example, in this respect. It would render us more contented in our private capacities, and would tend materially to improve and refine us as a people. We see by the Los Angeles Express that Col. Hyde, the agent of the Southern Pacific Railroad Company, left for San Francisco on Thursday morning, to consult with the Directors of the Company in regard to size of the workshops turn-tables, etc. From the same source, we learn that active operations will be commenced as soon as Gov. Stanford arrives from Washington, which will be in about two weeks. New Advertisements. Election Notice. NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN to the qualified electors of Spring School District, that an election will be held on Saturday, the fifteenth day of February. A.D.1873 at which will be submitted the question of voting a tax to maintain a free school and to furnish additional school facilities for said District; and for said purposes three hundred dollars will be necessary to be levied. The polls will be open at the Public School House, between two houses of one o'clock, P.M., and S.P.M. By order of the Board of Trustees of Spring Public School District. Dated this 23d day of January, A.D.1873. J.J.JOHNSQN, Dist. Clerk. NOTICE. At an adjourned meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Anaheim Water Company, held January 90, 1873, the following resolutions were passed and ordered to be published. Resolved—That all parties interested in said Company, who shall not have paid their dues for assessments by the first day of February, shall be stricken from our list without further notice. Resolved—That any outside owner who buys a ter for his privileged land, and the water is used outside of said land, be stricken from our list without further notice. Resolved—That $3 per acre be charged for every acre, as per written application, stating the situation of the land. Term: one-half cash, and half payable in six months. Resolved—That the regular meetings of Board be held every Saturday at 3 o'clock, P.M. about to kill him, and be fired in self defence. His blood was hot, in the one case, with hate—and in the other, with liquor; the means were at hand, and the ill deed was done. The act of placing upon one's person a pistol or knife, must be done with premeditation—in a cool, deliberate manner. Make this act a felony, punishable with many long years of imprisonment, and the root of the evil is reached at once. If it is impossible to convict a supposed murderer of causing the death of a fellow-man, he can be arraigned upon the lighter charge and punished for carrying deadly weapons. Popular opinion is opposed to capital punishment, and the knowledge of this fact makes desperate men bold. Rigid laws, punishing to the utmost degree of severity, the habitual carrying of concealed deadly weapons, will do more than anything else to render human life secure. EDITORIAL NOTES. Mr. F. H. Adams, of the late firm of Bemis & Adams, well-borers, proposes to bore for artesian water in Anaheim, in order that the vineyards may not be dependent upon the supply to be obtained from the Santa Ana river. Fischer's forty-acre lot, on the northeast corner of town, has been selected as the highest point, and five hundred dollars have already been subscribed. This is a project which, if successfully accomplished, would be of great benefit to the citizens of Anaheim, and should receive the hearty cooperation of every one.

Yreka, Jan. 20.—Advices have been received from the headquarters at the Indian seat of war. An attack was made by General Wheaton, with 400 troops, on the Modocs, who were intrenched behind rocks. The weather was so foggy that our forces could not see the enemy. The attack was premature, and the howitzers could not be made available. The result is disastrous. The whites were ingloriously vanquished, losing forty killed and wounded, including two officers wounded. Our cavalry fought unmounted. The troops are now only trying to prevent the Modocs from raiding upon the surroun­ding settlements until they can be reinforced. FURTHER PARTICULARS. San Francisco, Jan. 21.—Further particulars have been received about the fight with the Modocs. Ten soldiers were killed, twenty-seven privates and three officers were wounded. No Indians are reported killed. Reinforcements have been ordered to the front. San Francisco, Jan. 21.—A dispatch from Carson says that John P.
