Southern Californian GEO. C. KNOX... EDITOR. SATURDAY. OCTOBER 18 1872. L. P. FISHER. 20 and 21 New Merchants' Exchange, is our authorized Agent in San Francisco. THE PROJECTED CANAL. On last Monday the preliminary examination for the canal, projected by the gentlemen composing the Los Angeles and San Bernardino Land Association was completed. Starting from a point in the Santa Ana canyon about twelve and one-half miles northeast from Anaheim, where the river is confined between high banks, the line passes along the face of the hills on the northern bank of the Santa Ana river to the commencement of the mesa lands of the Yorba rancho, thence in a northwestern direction over the mesa to the rancho La Habra. It has been demonstrated by the survey that, not only is it practicable to irrigate all the lands contained in the large plains lying south of the Puente hills, but also that the ditch can be continued across the divide into the valley of La Habra, supplying to the most beautiful valley in Southern California the only requisite to render it perfect. It has also been demonstrated that no serious physical difficulties oppose the construction of the canal, and that the cost will fall materially short of what was at first supposed. The benefits, which will accrue to our community by the completion of this work, are almost incalculable. Its presence will be beneficially felt, not only by the farmer, who for so long a time has struggled almost against hope, but by the artisan and merchant as well. New life will be infused into our section, confidence in our capabilities for acquiring and accumulating wealth will be restored, and an impetus will be given to the immigración. A CHANGE. The old Arcadia simplicity of life and manner, which not a thousand years ago constituted the pride and boast of the dwellers in and around Los Angeles, which so obviously resisted all attempts at the establishment of a new order things is gradually yielding to the camp and new life which is year by year a day by day being infused into the community by the incoming men, who fully up to the requirements of the age and who are determined to overthrow "dog-in-the-manger" policy, which admitted of no innovation, even though for the better, of the routine of life and customs established by traditions of the past. To the untiring efforts of the press in the county in continually presenting to the outside world the many undeveloped resources existing in a dormant state our midst, may be ascribed in a great measure this change, which is but not presenting itself to the notice of the public. Undeterred by the acers and cases of older communities, advised of the cooperation of those whose greatest interest should have been exhibited in growth, the journals of the city and county have filled their columns with calibration of the climate and fertility of soil, and have invited investigation of truth of their assertions. Their investigation was made at first by the very few afterwards by the many. The promise fell far short of the realization and natural consequence those who came on to disprove the seeming rodontomade of the papers are now the most enthastic in their praise of our capabilities. Although for months past, this influx health-seekers and tourists has done much to revivify the stagnant condition of the county, still there remained one symptom—the ancient Arcadia, which tended greatly to retard the struggle for development, which threatened to render unavailiable. The benefits, which will accrue to our community by the completion of this work, are almost incalculable. Its presence will be beneficially felt, not only by the farmer, who for so long a time has struggled almost against hope, but by the artisan and merchant as well. New life will be infused into our section, confidence in our capabilities for acquiring and accumulating wealth will be restored, and an impetus will be given to the immigration, which has already learned our inherent resources, and which only awaits their development. In almost every other portion of California, containing agricultural lands, the question is, not how to conduct water over the irrigable lands, but how to obtain it. The Santa Ana river is the only stream in which the flow of water is sufficiently great during the whole year to supply the demand. Heretofore, it has been impossible on account of a want of money to utilize this wealth producing power; but now that the matter has been taken in hand by gentlemen, possessing the most ample means, there is no question but that the work will be prosecuted and vigorously, to a successful conclusion. Although the inception of this work has been directly caused by an appreciation, on the part of the members of the Land Association, of the many and valuable benefits, resulting to them from its construction, and the serious damage to the finances of the Company without it, still it must be acknowledged that to the untiring and disinterested efforts of their agent, W. R. OLDEN, to convince them of the necessity of the undertaking, the community is undoubtedly indebted for the commencement of actual work. With his characteristic energy, he has talked "ditch" to them, until they were compelled perforce to listen to him, and in the face of the most supreme indifference to their own pecuniary interests, has succeeded in convincing them, not only of the importance, but of the actual necessity of the construction of an irrigating medium. If the canal is constructed, therefore—and knowing the character of the men at its head, we do not hesitate to assert that it may be considered un fait accompli; it is to him that all credit should be given for the thousand fold increase to our population, wealth, and individual and general prosperity, which will surely follow its completion. COMMENDABLE ENTERPRISE. The most striking object to the visitor to Los Angeles, and the one which first attracts his attention, is a mammoth derrick, situated upon one of the highest hills surrounding the city. To the inquiry, "What is it?" the answer is given that the cost will fall materially short of what was at first supposed. Although for months past, this influx of health-seekers and tourists has done much to revivify the stagnant condition of the county; still there remained one symptom—the ancient Arcadia, which tended greatly to retard the struggle for development, which threatened to render unavailable these efforts for our improvement. It was the impossibility of obtaining money except under the old rates of short time and exorbitantly high compound interest. Fortunately, however, the accumulation capital of the richer portions of the State needed an outlet, and our section was selected for examination. The reason is that this capital offers itself to our led proprietors. A gentleman of the legal process thoroughly converses with the records of the county, has been stationed in Los Angeles for the purpose of investing money in loans on real estate and at reasonable rates. Thus the drawback to our growth has been removed and it is but a question of a very short period of time before the new life and additional vigor which this supply of very necessary want will undoubtedly produce, will afford palpable evidence of existence by the impetus which will give to all trades and callings. BUILD HOMES. One of the principal reasons that prevents Anaheim from receiving its fair proportion of the tourist public is our weak house-room. Many families who lighted with our climate and location would willingly lengthen their stay five days to months, leave on account of their want of accommodation. They are used to favern-life and leave, not because they are unfavorably impressed, but because no provision has been made for their reception. If some of our moneyed men work build a few cottages, suitable for small families, they would undoubtedly find profitable investment; one paying two or three per cent. per month. This is no trouble in procuring the group Heimann & George and Fischer selling town lots on the most reasonable terms. We call the attention of money men to this matter, because accommodation for the traveling public is much needhere, and because cottage building will provide a profitable investment of idea capital. THE APACHE OUTBREAK Arizona is again in trouble. We have that Del Che, at the head of one thousand COMMENDABLE ENTERPRISE. The most striking object to the visitor to Los Angeles, and the one which first attracts his attention, is a mammoth derrick, situated upon one of the highest hills surrounding the city. To the inquiry, "What is it?" the answer is given that it is the well-boring machine of PRUDENT BEAUDRY. This gentleman, actuated by a spirit of enterprise, has determined to thoroughly test the possibility of obtaining artesian water. Finding that those who were engaged in well-boring, had not the proper facilities for work of that kind, and that beyond a certain depth their machinery was useless, Mr. BEAUDRY sent to the East for proper tools, and has inaugurated at his own private cost an undertaking, which will do more to settle the much vexed water question than all the reports, which could be written in a century. He intends boring fifteen hundred or two thousand feet before he abandons his experiment as useless. Nothing affords the journalist more pleasure than to be allowed to chronicle the inception of a disinterested private enterprise, which has for its motive the public good. Mr. BEAUDRY has through his own unaided efforts, acquired more than a competency, and could now, with no one to say him, Nay, devote his time and his wealth to his own personal pleasure. Instead of pursuing a policy selfish, though perfectly in accordance with human nature, he makes use of the "talent" with which he has been intrusted by Providence, to assist in upbuilding the home of his adoption, and devotes his energies to the promotion of the welfare of his friends and neighbors. We wish him all the success to which he is so justly entitled, and we trust that the money, which he has thus "cast upon the waters" may return to him in a thousand fold. THE APACHE OUTBREAK Arizona is again in trouble. We have that Del Che, at the head of one thousand warriors, is on the war path, and the new ending. Augane task of rescuing them a temporary submission is against undertaken. There can be no doubt in the mind of any sensible person that, in its management of India afflicted the Government persists in pursuing most stupid and vain policy. Total disregarding the representations of the best citizens of the Territory, heedless the appeals which arise from the blood murdered women and children, it prefers to accept as true the statements of unnamed philanthropists like COLVER and Howard, ignoring the fact that they dare not travel amongst the Indians whom they declare so peaceful, without formidable guard. The administration actually responsible for every life that offered up as a holocaust on the altar "red-tape" and official imbecility. A LIVE PAPER. The town of Los Angeles has long needed a first-class daily newspaper. The Los Angeles Herald bids fair to supply its columns are filled with latest telegrams, and it is what all daily should be: a notes paper. In the early days of journalism owing to the difficulty obtaining news, much editorial matter was considered necessary to the "make up" of first class paper; now, however, the touch of the age requires news and long-winded editorials are allowed only to count journals who are not financially able meet the requirements of the times. Herald has made a good beginning. welcome it, as a co worker in developing our county, and accord it a place among our most valuable exchanges. GRANGE CORP. One-fourth of the Grangers in Iowa are said to be women. There are now about thirty Grangers in Oregon. A State Grange will soon be organized. Granger hats are now fashionable, and an Eastern paper is afraid they will "monopolize" attention. The Southwestern Central Association of Patrons of Husbandry will hold a meeting at Farmers' Point, Kansas, November 18th. The Granges of Wright County, Mion, met at Buffalo last week and formed a council, or working body, to labor for the benefit of the farmers. The number of Farmers' Granges form during the month of September estimated by the Secretary of the organization at Washington, at nearly one thousand. An old lady from the country, with six unmarried daughters, was in the streets of Augusta, Ga., the other day, hunting for the Patrons of Husbandry. This is the time when the farmer wanders about beneath his apple and pear trees, suggesting in full tone and cheerful heart the refrain from the "Old Sexton." "I gather them in! I gather them in!" Everything, says M. Augustin Cochin, is lowered when the master cheats the workman, the workman the master, or the middlemen both. Loyal action in the matter of wages, NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. FOR SALE.

"I gather them in! I gather them in!" Everything, says M. Augustin Cochin, is lowered when the master cheats the workman, the workman the master, or the middlemen both. Loyal action in the matter of wages, and faithful service have a very close connection. The Grangers are sensible enough to rule out the question of color. They will issue a charter to any Grange regularly applying, no matter whether its members are white or black. The order is spreading at the South, and this decision will be useful in that region. The Boston Grange, composed of grain and commission merchants, having been ordered to disband by the Grand Master of the National Grange, as it was not a farmers' grange, threatened to carry the matter before the National Grange. The Boston Grange retains its book and rituals; the members using the pass-words and grips of the order. As it is composed of prominent business men, a warm contest is promised. The first annual meeting of the State Grange was held at San Jose on Tuesday. The roll call showed 86 present, of whom 23 were matrons. The convention is presided over by J. W. Wright, who announced all matters of business to come before the convention, viz: Appointing a committee on Emigration; also, that Congress be petitioned to grant to the State the control of its waters for irrigation. He reported, likewise, the condition of each Grange in the State. Officers in executive committees for the enquiry year were elected. Committees were appointed on auditing, on publication of minutes, and to prepare stationary and By-laws for State and Subordinate Granges. Now, Booth was to deliver an address before the Grange on last evening. P.O. Carr will also address them. HAYWARD & CASEY. Proprietors.
