Southern Californian GEO. C. KNOX ... EDITOR. SATURDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1873. L. P. FISHER, 29 and 21 New Merchants' Exchange, is our authorized Agent in San Francisco. THE PROPOSED TOLL-ROAD TO THE PANNAMINT MINES. During the last meeting of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, Messrs Rains and Kennedy, owners of mining claims in the Pannamint District, were introduced, in order to explain to the Chamber the grounds on which they asked assistance of the citizens of Los Angeles in the construction of a toll-road to their district. Mr. Rains described the location of the camp, commented briefly upon its resources, undeveloped at present, and stated in conclusion that, the port of Wilmington appearing upon investigation to be the natural shipping point of their district, they would make use of these advantages offered by Nature, provided the citizens of Los Angeles constructed a road from Desert Springs—somewhere in Kern county, to their camp. The estimated cost of the road is not less than $4,000, and not exceeding $15,000, the difference in these estimates being caused by the location of the different termini, possible to be selected. The members of the Chamber appeared much interested in the matter judging rightly that no subject, tending to the increase of their commercial importance should be passed by, unconsidered. We are glad to see, however, that their deliberations were governed by a prudent caution, and that a rigid investigation of the merits and advantages of the project was decided upon, before definite action should be taken. THE LOS ANGELES CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. Through the courteous invitation of W. Hellman, of the firm of Hellman & Co., of Los Angeles, we were press the Chamber of Commerce of that city last Tuesday evening. This associates whose organization has supplied an existing for a long time in Los Angeles is still in its infancy, and in consequence is unable to accomplish unaided the commercial reforms required to ameliorate the growth of this section. In an recently published by the Chamber distributed throughout the country state the purposes of their organization and the good already resulting from action, and ask merchants and proprietors generally to assist them particularly in their work. It is a necessity the mercantile portion of a company should work harmoniously together order to strengthen themselves abroad to accomplish good at home. The method to create this unity of interest and harmony of action is through a largely organized body of this chapter. We would urge, therefore, upon our men to give a careful consideration the request of the Chamber of Commerce and not to allow sectional jealousy individual selfishness to interfere with the progress of an incorporation, so necessary to our commercial prosperity. THE WOOL-GROWERS CONVENTION. A call, signed by several of the prominent wool men of Los Angeles, was published a few weeks since all interested in sheep raising at the Court House in Los Angeles on the 15th day of January next, purpose of effecting an organ THE WOOL-GROWERS CONVENTION. A call, signed by several of the prominent wool men of Los Angeles, was published a few weeks since all interested in sheep raising at the Court House in Los Angeles on the 15th day of January next year, purpose of effecting an organ amongst wool-men. It is proposed to form a cooperative association, one thing of the same principle as the unions' for the purpose of promoting wool interests from the management of middle-men, and also to permeate arrangements to improve the breed sheep. It has been demonstrated long ago that labor can only compete with capital united action. The success, attended Grange movement proves that the natural interests of the country are served by use of the same means reasonable, therefore, to suppose that lar action upon the part of any one many indistinct, constituting the wealth of the State, would be with like results. As the bulk of the interests of Los Angeles county lie diately around Anaheim, and an opinion those interests would be highly advanced by an association, for the purposes stated in the call, we especial notice of the event. At it will do no harm to wool-men and discuss the matter. We trust before, that the time and place of will be borne in mind, and that we will go to hear and judge for the present hostile attitude of Reese towards the interests of it and the section surrounding it. He knew quite an active opposition quarters. The wharf franchise, he has applied to the Board of Sons of Los Angeles county, is evident tended, not to benefit the citizen county and increase their shipping, but as a threat to hold in over the heads of the Anaheli Company, because steps have been taken by them to condemn a riot of Alamitos rancho for the convenient shipping interests of this section the mildest form of expression posed by Reese has never in his enterprises a large amount of public spirit. Contrary, the actuating motive has always appeared to be selfish, so an inordinate extent. The Board visors should, therefore, weigh application upon which they are to act, and become convinced bad doubt that his intentions are there a desire to do good, and not even they place in his hands the individual selfishness to interfere to the progress of an incorporation, so necessary to our commercial prosperity. As we understand the proposition, this road will afford an outlet to the produce of the district. not only over the San Pedro and Los Angeles railroad to Wilmington, but directly via the Southern Pacific railroad to San Francisco. We understand also, that the distance from Pannamint to Los Angeles is about 240 miles, and to the nearest point on the Southern Pacific between 70 and 80 miles. The ores are said to be of two qualities, the one requiring to be milled and the other to be smelted. Unless the camp is sufficiently rich to erect their own machinery, the crude ore must be shipped to San Francisco in order to be worked, as there are neither quartz mills nor smelting furnaces in the vicinity of Los Angeles. Granting that the district realizes its present brilliant anticipations, it is reasonable to suppose that its produce will be carried over the most direct and cheapest route to the proper markets. At present, Wilmington is conceded to be the terminus of that land route, and Los Angeles must be used as a station in transit. Upon the completion of the Southern Pacific, this trade will naturally make use of the direct line of rail to San Francisco. The citizens of Los Angeles will therefore find themselves the owners of a parcel of stock in a road beneficial only to the owners of the Pannamint mines and the Southern Pacific Railway. We would suggest to the Chamber of Commerce that, should they desire to concentrate the trade of the Pannamint district, Holcombe Valley and other mining camps, contiguous to their city, they recommend the investment of the floating capital of the county in the erection of mills and smelting works, and that they utilize the water powers of the Los Angeles, San Gabriel and Santa Ana rivers. In this manner the Southern Pacific will benefit its Southern terminus equally with San Francisco; in this manner the trade, which belongs to Los Angeles by right of contiguity, will be kept at home, and not diverted to more remote markets. EASTERN INCREDULITY. We notice on our fourth page an extract from a communication to the New York Tribune by an Ohio correspondent, in which he alludes to the reports that are scattered broadcast through the Eastern States, not exceeding $15,000, these estimates being caused by the location of different termini, possible to be selected. The members of the Chamber appeared much interested in the matter judging rightly that no subject, tending to the increase of their commercial importance should be passed by, unconsidered.

We notice on our fourth page an extract from a communication to the New York Tribune by an Ohio correspondent, in which he alludes to the reports that are scattered broadcast through the Eastern States, concerning the extreme productiveness of the Pacific coast; he closes as follows: "Always be suspicious of any product that produces two crops a year, and of a country where they can be grown." Dwelling, as we do, in the midst of this wonderful fertility, living in a climate of perpetual Spring, "Where the flowers ever blossom, the beams ever shine," the amount of incredulity, manifested by Eastern people in hearing of what to us is an every day occurrence, seems absurd and rediculous. Driving with a friend a few days ago over plains covered with luxuriant verdure, past fields in which the grain was just showing its tiny heads, the air of the December day balmy and mild as that of a May day in the East, we listened to a tale of the Arctic rigor of a New York winter, when the thermometer stood twenty degrees below zero, and the eyelids of the traveler became fixed through the extremity of cold. The contrast between the two days was most strikingly great, and spoken in the ear of one, whose belief was predicated only upon the result of his personal experiences, would have furnished good grounds for doubt. It must be remembered, however, by the man of intelligence, that these oft-told tales of our mammoth productions, and their magical growth, of valleys teeming with perpetual verdura, and of a climate, uniform in its temperature during the entire year, are not "Sinbad" stories of unknown lands, but are related of a country, within the reach of the most humble, and told not to excite the wonder of the simple, but in order to attract investigation, and to relieve the only want, which we possess—the absence of population. ANOTHER BEAUTY OF THE IFORNJA CODE. The case of Oades, in San Francisco, has brought to the surface instance of the wisdom displayed by farmers of the new Code. It is a long time ago, Oades with his family lived in New Zealand. He was killed, or supposed to have been savaged, and Oades after dying place to place at length settled Bernardino. During last year he again, and a short time afterward wife turned up and resumed place at the fireside. His shocked at the immoral life called the attention of the Counties to the affair. Oades was tried first for unlawful cohabitation wife No. 1, afterwards for the act with wife No. 2, and last of all At the first trial, the marriage was by the requisite documentary evidence at the second and third trials, it monstrated that under the new legally married to his second wife not violated any enactment, bigamy. As the Code further that the second marriage can nullled except as the instance of parties concerned, and as they satisfy with the present and the question now agitated against good people of San Bernardino, the morals of the community treated without a violation of their visions of the Code. THE GREATEST CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. In the courteous invitation of H. B. of the firm of Hellman, Hampton, Angeles, we were present at the Commence of that city on my evening. This association, organization has supplied a want, a long time in Los Angeles, infancy, and in consequence, to accomplish unaided the many reforms, required to assist in this section. In an address published by the Chamber, and throughout the country, they purposes of their organization had already resulting from their ask merchants and property generally to assist them pecuniary work. It is a necessity that entire portion of a community work harmoniously together, strengthen themselves abroad and fish good at home. The only purpose this unity of interests of action is through a regulated body of this character. urge, therefore, upon our lead give a careful consideration to the Chamber of Commerce, so allow sectional jealousies or selfishness to interfere to retard us of an incorporation, so vitally into our commercial prosperity. WOOL-GROWERS CONVENTION. Signed by several of the most wool men of Los Angeles county published a few weeks since, asked erected in sheep raising to meet Court House in Los Angeles City day of January next, for the effecting an organization GLEANINGS. Caroline Elizabeth, Queen Dowager of Prussia, is dead. Professor Agassiz died at Boston on last Saturday. Fairfield, Solano County, has received a number of Shetland ponies. Ninety-two persons died in San Francisco last week. A bill, repealing the Bankrupt Act, has passed the National House of Representatives. Colonel Dent, the father of Mrs. Grant, died last Tuesday. He was in his 89th year. J. L. Pennington, of Alabama, has been nominated by the President as Governor of Dakota. The Alvarado Beet Sugar Company have removed their establishment to Santa Cruz. Sheriff Rowland left for San Francisco on the Mohongo with three prisoners for San Quentin. The Virginia has been delivered to the U.S. authorities and the Spanish imbroglio has been amicably settled. A Key West dispatch says that Fortuna and Ossipee sailed on Tuesday, the latter in tow, laden with coal, probably for the Virginius. The Secretary of the Treasury estimates the increase of the public debt since December 1st, 1872 at $5,000,000. A Bedford county, Pennsylvania, girl has challenged a man to wrestle with her for the championship of the State. The Garibaldi, an Italian man-of-war, has arrived at San Francisco with the Duke of Genoa, son of GRANGE CORRIP. The Grange is getting a foothold in Virginia. J. D. Whitman, Agent of the Iowa State Grange, has ordered 200 sewing machines for Patrons of Husbandry, since he has been in Des Moines. A County Council of the Patrons of Decatur county, Iowa, met recently at Leon, and took preliminary steps looking to the establishment of a broom factory, cheese factory, and an oil mill. There are in Massachusetts 13 Granges, including the refractory one in Boston. A State Grange was organized at Greenfield on Dec. 1st. Interest in the Order is rapidly developing throughout the State. The first grand meeting of the Grangers in Indiana closed recently at Valparaiso. Within the twelve months, the organization has grown so—from less than half a hundred to nearly seven hundred—that the State Grange could scarcely recognize itself. The late convention has given the Order a great impulse, especially by acquainting the new membership with the system and with each other. The West Coast Signal suggests that the Granges establish libraries, and have scientific and popular lectures during the long winter evenings, and says: We hope that the Order which has exhibited such astonishing growth, and attained such vast proportions, will show the country that it does not seek material prosperity alone, but that it looks also to the cultivation of the selfishness to interfere to retard ass of an incorporation, so vitally to our commercial prosperity. WOOL-GROWERS CONVENTION. Signed by several of the most wool men of Los Angeles county published a few weeks since, ask-recited in sheep raising to meet Court House in Los Angeles City on day of January next, for the effecting an organization of wool-men. It is proposed to cooperative association, on some-the same principle as the Farmers, for the purpose of protecting interests from the manipulations of the country are strength-house of the same means. It is therefore, to suppose that similar upon the part of any one of the industries, constituting the dormant of the State, would be attended results. As the bulk of the wool of Los Angeles county lies imme-around Anaheim, and as in our those interests would be materialized by an association, formed foroses stated in the call, we make notice of the event. At any rate, no harm to wool-men to meet us the matter. We trust, there-at the time and place of meetingorne in mind, and that every one to hear and judge for themselves. WHARF FRANCHISE OF MICHAEL REESE. Present hostile attitude of Michael towards the interests of Anaheim section surrounding it, has awaite an active opposition in certain. The wharf franchise, for which applied to the Board of Supervisors Angeles county, is evidently not to benefit the citizens of the and increase their shipping facili-ties as a threat to hold in terrorm he heads of the Anaheim Lighter way, because steps have been taken to condemn a ration of the Los Osmano rancho for the convenience of the big interests of this section. To use best form of expression possible, Mr. has never in his enterprises exhibited amount of public spirit. On the day, the actuating motive with him may appeared to be self, and self toordinate extent. The Board of Super-should, therefore, weigh well the notion, upon which they are requested and become convinced beyond any what his intentions are the result of do good, and not evil, before place in his hands the power to a community. Fortuna and Ossippe sailed on Tuesday, the latter in tow, laden with coal, probably for the Virginius. The Secretary of the Treasury estimates the increase of the public debt since December 1st, 1872 at $5,000,000. A Bedford county, Pennsylvania, girl has challenged a man to wrestle with her for the championship of the State. The Garibaldi, an Italian man-of-war, has arrived at San Francisco with the Duke of Genoa, son of Victor Emanuel of Italy, on board. Sargent has introduced a bill into the Senate relating to public lands in California, and fixing a uniform price at $1.25 per acre for mineral and agricultural lands. Senator Bush has introduced a bill entitled "An Act to repeal an Act entitled an Act to encourage the destruction of squirrels, gophers and other wild animals of this State, so far as it relates to the County of Los Angeles." The Supreme Court has decided in the case of Nebraska vs. the Union Pacific Railroad Company, that the State has the right to tax the railroad. This decision practically settles the power of California to tax the Central Pacific. A dispatch from San Diego states that, pending negotiations of the California and Texas Construction Company with its creditors, work on the Texas Pacific railway has been temporarily suspended. It is believed here that work will soon be resumed, as the grading to comply with the law is nearly done, and track laying can be finished in a short time upon resumption of work. C. Rubel, of Marysville, sowed last season on fifteen acres of summer-fallowed ground, nine sacks of Genesee wheat from which he harvested 271 sacks. This is an increase of thirty-fold. The average was 134 pounds to the sack, which aggregates 36,314 pounds; or forty-one bushels to the acre. Gen. Howard, the friend of the Apache and ex-chief of the Freedmen's Bureau, who has recently been arraigned on very serious charges, appeared on Wednesday before the House Committee on Military affairs, and stated that he courted a full and thorough investigation. He waived any advantage that might accrue to him by the statute of limitations or otherwise, in order that he might be tried by Court Martial. Senator Finney has introduced a bill to enforce the education of children. It provides that anyone having charge or control of children especially by acquainting them with the system and with each other. The West Coast Signal suggests that the Granges establish libraries, and have scientific and popular lectures during the long winter evenings, and says: We hope that the Order which has exhibited such astonishing growth, and attained such vast proportions, will show the country that it does not seek material prosperity alone, but that it looks also to the cultivation of the mind, and the elevation of its members to the highest plane of intellectual and moral excellence. The Minnesota Granges are alive with excitement, on account of the action of their executive committee in admitting farmers, who are not Patrons, to all the privilege of purchase enjoyed by Patrons who have spent time and money to perfect the organization. The members of nearly every Grange in the State protest against and repudiate the action of the committee, truly declaring that there is an end of the Order if farmers who are not members can buy goods and tools at the same rate of discount as those who are. The committee argues that it is a dog-in-the-manger policy, and as bad in a Grange as in a railroad to keep up extortionate prices outside the Order. It is a very pretty quarrel as it stands, and the way things look now, the Patrons will have a stock subject of discussion for the long evenings of the coming winter. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. FOR SALE.

A dispatch from London, dated December 17th, says in regard to the recent severe storm in England: The storm has abated. Telegraph lines are prostrated in all directions. Bat lines that are working bring news that the storm extended all over the North of England and far into Scotland. Sheffield looks as if it had been bombarded. The loss of property is immense, and the casualties to persons is estimated at seven killed and thirty wounded, many fatally. Other dispatches show that the gale was felt at Glasgow, Halifax, Shrewsbury and Nottingham, in all of which cities lives were lost and great damage was done. It is estimated that property to the extent of $100,000 was destroyed. Extensive damage was done at West Hartlepool and Durham. Shipping has suffered severely at New Castle and Shields. A steamer is ashore off Ardrossan, and a railway station and several houses were blown down in Weston. THE LOS ANGELES Daily and Weekly Herald. The HERALD is an unbought advocate of every interest pertaining to Southern California and Arizona, and a zealous worker in all things that shall tend to benefit the State. In a word, it is in close communion with the People. In its columns, from time to time, are found matters of interest to the California Farmer, Mechanic Merchant, Laborer, and all classes of producers; and it will also contain reading matter suited to the Home Circle. The HERALD will advocate State Rights and oppose Centralization; it will encourage White and oppose Coalfire Immigration. It will favor Free Trade and oppose Protective Tariff; it will advocate a Greenback Currency for California, and oppose the present dwarring and deadening policy which upholds the present ruinous rates of interest and shuts out Eastern capital. It will advocate the People and oppose Monopolies, no matter what guises they may assume. The HERALD will oppose thieving and predation. No man rightly owes a dollar until he earns it. Every dollar which is taken from the public treasury or private parcel without a just return is robbery, and he who takes this money is a thief. Believing this, the HERALD will oppose salary stamps, custom stamps, land stamps, railroad stalks and every kind of Stalks. Each day, the fullest Foreign and Domestic Telegrams will be published. The aim will be to supply in this part of the State, the demand heretofore filled by San Francisco dailies.
