Southern California GEO. C. KNOX... EDITOR. SATURDAY, MARCH 14, 1874. COUNTY DIVISION. Amidst the mass of verbiage, which has been written in the Los Angeles journals during the past week, relative to the Assembly bill, creating the new county of Orange, we find nothing worthy of notice, except an editorial, appearing in the Express of Wednesday afternoon. In that, whilst tacitly admitting the ability of the new county to sustain itself, it advances the argument that the citizens of the remaining portion of Los Angeles county, or that part of it, lying north and west of the San Gabriel river, would be seriously burdened by oppressive taxation in the event of division. In other words, that it requires taxable property, amounting to over $10,000,000 to produce a revenue sufficiently large to run a county government. At least, such is our understanding of their argument, in as much as we of the new county propose to assume our provoia share of all liabilities of the present county. Orange county, if created, will by the provisions of the bill, now pending in the Assembly, assume its proportion of the present county indebtedness, pay fixed living salaries to its officials, and make and keep in repair all internal improvements within its limits that the necessities of the county and people may require. To do this will require no greater assessments on its present property valuation—$3,000,000—than are now made. The new county of Los Angeles possesses property valued at over $7,000,000, wherewith to do the same. We have already shown, in an article written some weeks ago, that whilst property in this end of the county was assessed at figures approximating its actual value, there existed a wide margin. Various considerations have come prevent an exhibition of the interest is really felt by sheep-men, regarding establishment of a wool-growers' station in this and the neighboring area. As the season approaches for shearing requirements of preparation common personal supervision of each owner consequently it is rendered impractical to devote time otherwise than to the cities of the season. Among some exists a fear lest they should be in undertakings, which would result in personal damage, or at least from them would derive no individual This feeling, although partaking of human nature, undoubtedly arise the inappropriate introduction at the filing of an enterprise, presenting sources indicative of personal interests propose, however, in the present discussion, not the causes which have led to retard the formation of the plated wool-growers' association whilst speaking generally of co-operation to present the many benefits to this larger industry, which will undermine from unity of action. Co-operation is defined to be a current effort or labor, tending to motion of a certain end." In other it is a unity of the self-same opposition to all causes, which tend destruction or damage of those. The principles, upon which the based, have been taught by written sacred and profane, from time immemorial its practical workings are illustrated by day in every association of nature, from the mightiest governors most obscure incorporation gradual adoption the masses of them have been emancipated from the under which they were held in their ages; by its assistance, Labor, requiring a high degree of intelligence. ing salaries to its officials, and make and keep in repair all internal improvements within its limits that the necessities of the county and people may require. To do this will require no greater assessments on its present property valuation—$3,000-000—than are now made. The new county of Los Angeles possesses property valued at over $7,000,000, wherewith to do the same. We have already shown, in an article written some weeks ago, that whilst property in this end of the county was assessed at figures approximating its actual value, there existed a wide margin between assessments and asking prices in the upper portion of Los Angeles county. We can see nothing, therefore, to prevent the good people living in and around Los Angeles, from doing without our assistance, provided always they practice economy and a proper retrenchment. The citizens of Orange county complain that, whilst they pay their proportionate part towards county expenses, they receive no direct benefit. As one instance of this fact, they cite the condition of county roads, and the management generally of internal improvements. The San Francisquito road was constructed to divert the trade of remote counties to the city of Los Angeles; this road is not used by fifty residents of the county, and cost many thousands of dollars; there is not a bridge between the New San Gabriel river and San Juan Capistrano, except what was built by private means; the bridge over the New San Gabriel river—a stream more difficult of passage than any other in the county, except the Santa Ana river—was most inconveniently constructed, and with no regard to its durability; on the other hand, enough money and material was expended in the covering of the Los Angeles bridge to span every slough in the southeastern portion of the county with substantial bridges. The Express advises that a modus operandi, other than division, should be tried in order to remedy the many acts of injustice of which we complain. It says: "There is a remedy of justice always in the heart of the mass of the people which can be reached. If the people of the southern end of this county are aggrieved, we are confident that this sense of justice will, by proper appeal, set them right." We would remind them that the agitation of this subject is not a thing of to-day. These evils have been existing for many years; an open outcry against them has been made to three different legislatures. Our citizens have repeatedly, during these five years, expressed a willingness both through their Press and individually, to remain under the old organization, should the ear of redress be turned to their just complaints. We are learning by experience, that disappointment only can attend any effort, other than for secession, and we are gradually concentrating our united strength to accomplish what must inevit- opposition to all causes, which tend destruction or damage of those. The principles upon which the work based, have been taught by written sacred and profane, from time immemorial its practical workings are illustrated by day in every association of nature, from the mightiest governor the most obscure incorporation; gradual adoption the masses of the have been emancipated from their under which they were held in their ages; by its assistance, Labor, who quiring a high degree of intelligence been enabled to resist the encroachment concentrated capital. In a work proved a means of good; tendin refinement and elevation of the infirm it has at the same time increased thousand fold his facilities for and retaining power and wealth. Let us examine, however, the status of the sheep-men generals see in what respects they would be fitted by engaging in a co-operative enterprise. The aim of every shearer is to have the best sheep and the wool, to obtain the highest price produce, and incur as little outlayable for the best and most efficient. The very nature of his calling him dependent upon others for input upon all subjects connected with industry; the isolation, cause necessity of extended pasturage prevents him from receiving best experiment or experience. Let usularise. One of the greatest evil ant upon the raising of sheep disease called "the scab". To disease the sheep are dipped, but has heretofore puzzled, and is still the brains of the most experienced growers. Owing to the diff communication with each other rises times to a rivalry of interest, no doubt the practical result of the other matter. With co-operation, then each experiment would be transcribed into headquarters of the associative manner from the thousand remedies, that are yearly applied evil, a method would be undoubted gested, productive of incalculable sheep culture. Another benefit would arise from united action issuing labor. If from any cause owner wishes to procure sheep must scour the country in the He obtains very often the most and worthless labor, he finds great even in procuring this style of proper moment, and is subjected to much uneasiness of mind, limes to severe pecuniary loss labor was engaged at the head of the association, men in search of ment would soon congregate at the location, wages would be rendered men incompetent or untrustworthy be "tabooed," good labor could be PROBABILITIES OF A WHARF AT OR NEAR ANAHEIM LANDING. Madam Rumor has been busy lately regarding the probable construction of a wharf, either at Anaheim Landing or at some other eligible point, convenient to the settlements around Anaheim. The idea seems to prevail that one of the two steamship lines, which are at present engaged in transporting the freight of the southern coast, will be the prime mover in the enterprise, although which one of the two is not positively asserted. We incline to the belief that if anything of the kind is done, it will be done indirectly through the influence of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company. Despite the efforts made by Wilmington to ignore our landing, this company has always recognized its importance and thoroughly appreciates the necessity of avoiding any concurrence in efforts made to draw trade from one landing to another. It has become almost an established fact that our largely increasing trade requires more ample facilities for the speedy transmission of freight than at present exists, and that those facilities can be most easily and economically attained by the construction of a wharf. As it is the interest of the Mail Company on account of their large Eastern freights, shipped from this point, to control the coast trade as well, we do not doubt that to their assistance we must look for any outside aid that may be devoted to the improvement of our shipping facilities. He obtains very often the most and worthless labor, he finds great even in procuring this style of proper moment, and is subjected to much uneasiness of mind, times to severe pecuniary loss, labor was engaged at the head of the association, men in search of ment would soon congregate at the location, wages would be rendered men incompetent or untrustworthy be "tabooed," good labor could be at a moment's notice, and all done the sheep owner withdrawing for instant his personal supervision property.

As we article, parties, desiring to purchase are present, and judging from their conversation, we find that class of sheep is held by different at prices ranging from $2 25 head. The most simple can see that this is owing to the diversities and the non-unity of act sheep owners.

The theme is so fruitful, how it is impossible to be exhaustive in the circumscribed limits of an article. We would therefore upon our friends engaged in shearing the importance to themselves in attending the meeting which held in Los Angeles on next Saturday and listen to the discussion of objects by men, whose experience them to talk knowingly; apply convenience to which we have each inconvenience, which we have to the test of your own persistence; then if in your estimation nothing to be gained by this at least you will have lost but CLEARINGS.
