Southern Californian GEO. C. KNOX...EDITOR. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1873. OUR BIRTH-DAY. With the present issue, commences the fourth year of the existence of the Southern California. On October 29th, 1870, the first number of the Anaheim Gaste was published under the proprietary management of Geo. W. Barter, now editor of the Real Estate Reporter of San Francisco. Nearly a year subsequent to this, on October 21st, 1871, the establishment was purchased by Chas. A. Gardner, who had been acting for two or three months previous as editor for Mr. Barter. On December 10th of the same year Mr. Gardner purchased from Maj. Strobel the press and material of the People's Advocate and merged the two papers into one under its present name. In last December a third change was made in the management, the present proprietor purchasing the entire office. During the past year many changes and improvements have been made in the material, a new job press has been purchased, and the stock of job type has been thoroughly overhauled and renovated. In order to do this and to make the CALIFORNIAN in other respects a first-class country paper, no expense has been spared. Our patrons should bear this in mind, and by a liberal patronage encourage and aid us in our efforts to please them and benefit their section. To the present time we have met with nothing but kindness and appreciation from our townspeople. As we over-step the threshold of our new year, and re-gird us for our self-imposed work, we present our heartfelt acknowledgement to all. THE LOS ANGELES WOOLEN MILLS. The most important improvement that has ever been made in the Southern county was the establishment of a manufactory for woolen goods. Not content however, with rendering a benefit to the producer, by giving him at his door market, Messrs. Sacriste & Elliot have also established in Los Angeles a jobbing establishment, thus allowing the consumer to purchase at first hands, and doing away with the per centage, exacted by the mid-dilemmen. They have also, in connection with this branch of their manufactory, a tailoring establishment, and are prepared to turn out, at greatly reduced prices clothing of every description. We understand that thus far their enterprise has proved a success, and that the factory, although taxed to its utmost capacity, is utterly unable to supply the demand. The reason of this is, not because the company have not the means to increase their operations, but on account of the inefficiency of the water power furnished by the Los Angeles river. Does it not suggest itself therefore to capital to seize any opportunity that may offer to assist in the development of an enterprise so beneficial to our growth, and so advantageous to the originator? The Santa Ana is the largest river in Southern California and has a never failing supply of water. The Semi-Tropic Water Company have on the line of their ditch several eligible sites for water powers. When the large canal, now in contemplation by the Los Angeles Land Association, has been completed, it will offer almost unlimited capabilities for mills and machinery of all kinds. This is a matter that should be continually presented to the notice of capitalists, for it is undeniable that the establishment of manufactories will pay a large dividend to the investor, and it is equally certain that such an investment will be successful. A RECOGNITION. We publish below a resolution, adopted by the Fairview Grange at their last meeting, expressive of their appreciation of the efforts of the Southern California in the cause of the people against monopoly. The innate modesty, which forms so large a part of our composition, would prevent us from thus making public so flattering a testimonial, were it not, that to the resolution is appended a request for publication. As the servant of the people, however, we must perform their bequests, and consequently we do violence to our feelings. We thank the Grange for their kind words, and we trust that our action will ever be, so as to merit the approbation of that portion of the community, amongst whom we consider it an honor to be ranked—the workers. It must be borne in mind, however, by them, as well as ourselves, that in order to work effectively, we must work in unison, that in aiding each other, we strengthen ourselves, and that, as with us rests the power to advance the cause of the people by the dissemination of their ideas of reform, and by attack of wrong and monopoly, so with them rests the power either to strengthen and utilize our efforts by a substantial appreciation, or to make unavailing our labors by discouragement, either pecuniary or personal. ANAHEIM, October 20th, 1873. Missrs. Knox and Melrose: — At a meeting of Fairview Grange, October 16th. Resolved That we tender the thanks of this Grange to the editor and publisher of the Southern California for the sympathy and efforts made in advocating the cause of the Patrons of Husbandry, and that a copy of this resolution be forwarded them by the Secretary, with request to publish. J. D. TAYLOR, Secretary. A STEP TOWARDS A SPECIE BASIS. The money people which recently adhere and renovated. In order to do this and to make the CALIFORNIAN in other respects a first-class country paper, no expense has been spared. Our patrons should bear this in mind, and by a liberal patronage encourage and aid us in our efforts to please them and benefit their section. To the present time we have met with nothing but kindness and appreciation from our townspeople. As we overstep the threshold of our new year, and re-gird us for our self-imposed work, we present our heartfelt acknowledgments to the generous public for their unvarying kindness, and trust that the pleasant relations, which have heretofore existed between us, may never be broken. TOBACCO CULTURE. The experiment, that was started by some capitalists of San Francisco early in the year of raising tobacco near Gilroy, has proved successful. A large quantity of Havana seed was procured, and planted. The green tobacco was cured by a new process, which combines rapidity with certainty, and is now being manufactured into chewing and smoking tobacco and cigars. The profit, which will be realized upon the venture, is almost incredible; but it may be safely estimated at over one-half million of dollars. Smokers, who have tried cigars manufactured by the Company, assert that their flavor is equal to those of the best Havana Tobacco. Tobacco is a crop that has but few natural enemies. In fact, with the exception of the worm, it may be said to have none at all. It thrives best on a soil similar to that of the Santa Ana valley, and could undoubtedly be successfully grown here. One difficulty that presented itself to the Gilroy experiment—early frost—does not exist in this locality. We understand, that in order to save their second crop, harvesting was carried on night and day, which of course enhanced the cost of raising. Here, we have no frosts before November, and very seldom then. We have, therefore, every advantage which the Gilroy country possesses, with the additional ones of climate and location. We believe that the culture of tobacco can be made one of the specialties of this section, and we suggest it to our farming friends for their careful consideration, THE LESSON OF THE PANIC. [From the S. F. Chronicle.] Those people who imagine that California has escaped from the effects of the A STEP TOWARDS A SPECIE BASIS. The money panic, which recently agitated the financial circles of the United States, seems to have been attended with one good result. The approximation in value of greenbacks and silver has rendered it practicable to substitute silver coin of less value than one dollar for the fractional currency. Every mint is bually engaged in silver coinage, and it is asserted upon the best authority that silver will be in general circulation throughout the States by the 18th of November. This will prove one step towards the solution of the much-vexed uniform currency question, and will probably be followed by a complete resumption of specie payments throughout the country. A much better method than the adoption of greenbacks by California. THE WINE CENTER OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. Through the unwearied exertions of Ben Dreyfus, senior partner of the firm of B. Dreyfus & Co., of New York, Anaheim has at length reached the distinction of being the great entrepot for almost the entire grape crop of Southern California. This firm has absorbed within itself the establishments of the Lake Vineyard and the famed Cucamonga vineyard, and has purchased the grape crop in and around Los Angeles. The great desert ships that daily pass through, laden with grapes, give quite a business-like air to our village. Energy and enterprise must succeed. Whilst San Diego and Los Angeles have been quarrelling about the reflection of the moon in the water, or in other words, climate and harbor, we, through the energy of the above firm, have borne away the cheese. THE LESSON OF THE PANIC. [From the S. F. Chronicle.] Those people who imagine that California has escaped from the effects of the recent panic simply because she kept to a gold coinage, and that New York suffered because of its adhesion to the national currency, must find it difficult to reconcile the result with their theory. If the panic had really been connected with the currency at all, its effect would be to increase the value of gold, whereas the result, not of the panic, but of the forced inaction of the speculators caused by it, has been to send gold down. Of course it is quite plain to everybody who knows anything of the matter that the currency had no more to do with the panic than it had to do with the wreck of the Costa Rica. A great house that has invested its depositor's money in non-convertible shares and bonds, finding itself unable to realize upon any of them to meet its daily demands, stops payment; whereupon all depositors begin to think that they, too, have parted with money for investment which they might after all have wrapped in a napkin, and they rush to demand its immediate return. The bankers, anxious to meet the demands upon them, hasten to offer their securities at any obtainable price, and find all of the other bankers in the same predicament, and no buyers whatever. If people will share a banker's profit they must take a share of a banker's risks; and the greatest risk, in nine cases out of ten, is that of sudden and forced depreciation, caused by the desire of men to reclaim money in a moment of fear, which they have tacitly suffered to be lent out for years under the attraction of a high rate of interest. The great reason why California did not suffer by the crisis was that her people are daily adding to their deposits instead of withdrawing them, and that, having once appertained that their money is lent only upon good security, they do not demand at a moment's notice, the cash that may not be available for months. When a man has unsaleable goods to offer, he can get neither gold nor greenbacks, but his predicament proves the folly of his investment and not the superiority of any class of money. LANGELLES WOOLEN MILLS. Important improvement that made in the Southern counstablishment of a manunufacture goods.
