FRUIT IN OREGoN.--From a private letter
we learn that apples in Oregon are retailing
at fifty cents per bushel, and that all the
peaches and plums a person wants can be
had ii some localities for nothing. This
great abundance of fruit is, however, about
to be made profitable. The farmers are al
ready making a good deal of CIDER while
some are manufacturing peach brandy and
currant wine. The manufacture of whiskey
and gin is also about to be commenced the
Oregonians arguing that if those liquors
must be consumed, they should be had pure
and of home manufacture, in preference to
the stuff made at San Francisco

MIsERIEs OF CITY WoMAN.-For the
amusement of our lady readers, we make
the following extract from letter written
by New York sister of theirs to the S. f.
Times. They cannot peruse it without feel
ing grateful for the balmy climate and free
dom from conventionality which especially
belong to California
There is an interval of time between sum-
mer and fall, hard to endure. 1t is the pre-
sent period-summer, traditionally fall, in
fact. Warm out of doors when one walks
fast in the sun, cold in the house when one
sits still. My case is melancholy, but do
not think it is an exception. | rise in the
morning from the delicious comfort of a
light blanket. My first unhappiness is de-
rived from the chilly Croton. My fingers be-
come icicles, my nose a torch. During
breakfast some warmth is impaired to me
by the hot coffee, but after that | am miser-
erable; l fix myself in a chair and feel the
cold stealing up from my feet, which are
small icebergs. / begin to understand
Agazzis theory of the effect of glaciers on
our climate. | have no fire except in the
kitchen. go down two pair Of stairs and
put my feet in the stove oven, providing
there is a pudding in it, and bake them till
they feel comfortable again. l have per-
petual cold in the head from wearing a thin
bonnet. The fall fashions are not decided
yet. The milliners do not open till the 25th,
and therefore my head must be stopped with
influenza until then. l must wear my bar.
eges few days longer-the new patterns
have not come for dressmakers Such are
the rigors of society," 1t is not time for the
window curtains to go up, nor to light the
fires, nor to put down carpets. We do not
know exactly whether we are at home or
not We must be out of town as long as
our neighbors are. In order to be certain
whether we may stay at home we must -prac-
tise the ruse of being seen at church, or the
opera, or our carriage must go down Broad
way. Some neutral ground must be found
to exchange compliments and invitations,
and obs and abs, and find out each others
plans and the quantity of gas our friends
have on hand. Somebody must take the
iniatory, and everybody holds back for fear
of not doing the right thing.

INDIAN STATEs.-The Marysville Democrat,
in the course of an able article on the polit-
ical status of the North American Indians,
west of the Missouri and Arkansas, alludes
70 the fact thata strong effortis being made
by certain portion of the Democratic party
to bring about the incorporation of parts Of
the Indian Territory iato the Union, and
asserts, very correctly, that there is no con-
stitutiohal difficulty whatever in the way Of
such incorporation. "A simple act of Ad-
mission of an Indian State, with general
declaration that the entire population, ex
ceptng the slaves, should be, in all respects,
citizens of the United States, would be suf-
ficient to answer all the requirements of the
occasion" AS many of the Indians, inhab
iting the territory alluded to, have attained
high degree of civilization and demon
strated their capacity for self-government,
and as their present political condition is
rather anomalous and unfavorable to pro
gress, we hope great time will not elapse
before some of them, and the Cherokees es-
pecially, become partners of our great con-
'federaey.

HEALTHY GAN.-From statistics collated
by the S. F. Herald, it appears that, in the
matter of population, there has been an ab-
solute gain of Agricultural counties over
Mining counties, since 1857, ofS,O3o,. and a
relative gain, in the same PERIOD of 1921 of
the Agricultural over the Mining counties.
The political Importance of the agricultural
and Commercial counties has largely in
creased during the past two years, until it
has gained the preponderance over that of
the strictly mining counties. In 1857, the
ratio was 5O,512 to 44,1l4 in favor of the
mining counties. AT the last election it had
become 5o,75o to SO, JAG in favor of the ag-
ricultural counties.
From this we may infer that the great bulk
of the immigration to California, during the
past two years, has Injured to the benefit of
the agricultural counties There has been
very little addition to the mining popula-
ton.
This comparative decrease in the social
and political Importance of the mining coun-
ties is likely to stop, now that the adapta-
bility of much of the mineral region to pro-
fitable tillage is becoming apparent.

Is THE STATE CHRISTIAN ?-The late Pres
byterian Synod of the Pacific answered this
question in the affirmative, declaring further
" that the Bible lies at the foundation of all
our civil and religious Institutions" that
there should be Sabbatarian enactments,
and that the Bible ought to be read in pub
lie schools. On all these points the Cleaner,
which is a liberal and intelligent Jewish pa
per, joins issue with the Synod, pronouncing
them assumptions founded only on the
wishes of their authors, and opposed to the
rights of other religious bodies, as well as
to the political Institutions of our country.
Discussion is invited and commenced by the
Cleaner on the following propositions That
the appeal of Christians to the protection of
the law in support of Christianity, is anti
Christian; that our country is not Chris
tian country, neither in theory nor practice
by its laws or the habits of its people /;
that our State is not Christian, but that, on
the contrary, majority of its inhabitants
are apparently unbeievers in the Christian
doctrine; that in no part of the Bible is the
observance of Christian Sabbath recon-
mended, but, on the contrary, Christians
are enjoined not to esteem one day above
another. Our Hebrew cotemporary thinks
1t duty to refute the errors of the Presby-
terian Synod, because "should they be al
10 -,-&
men want Christian army to exterminate
non-Christian citizens for men who can see
Christian Sabbath in the Bible, Bible in
our Constitution, and q Christian country
in the United States, or in California, can
see almost anything"

ALL THINGS HAVE THEIR UsEs.-The Bee
is of opinion that the independence of SER

to make their mistresses independent, by
compelling them to do more of their own
work and remarks, rather ungallantly :

instrumental in bringing about this result

pendence, and forcing wives and mothers,

floating paragraph declares that if one
half of the inhabitants of this earth were to
write and publish their autobiographies,
the other half would commit suicide to free
themselves from such disgraceful company.
This might be true of all but politicians and
rival editors, who say such hard things of
one another that truthful autobiographies
in comparison would be tame affairs. Still,
the remark reminds one of Poes observation,
that no man dare write his own biography
veraciously.

A LUCKY MAN.-The Sonora Democrat tells
of one E. S. Jarvis who has productive
garden, orchard and nursery, with thousands
of the choicest fruit trees and grape vines,
who has made three hundred gallons of wine,
is making peach brandy, has an apple tree,
eight inches in circumference, on which
there are three hundred big apples, and owns
a splendid painting of st. Paul which was
painted in Paris over two hundred years
ago.

AWKWARD NAMEs.-In the adoption of
names for new Territories or States, care
should be taken to avoid such names as are
applied to we'll known cities, or familiar To-
calities. Should We speak of the Territory
north of Oregon by simply saying Washing
ton. it would at once be confounded with
Washington, D. G. We regret that such a
name was ever adopted, and hope that a
better taste will be shown ii future. Neya-
da, as name for the Territory over the
mountains, is subject to the same objections.
We have large city and county of that
name. Some other name should be selected
and we hope will. The name of Jefferson
for the Pixies Peak country is equally OBJ
jectionable. Pldceruile Observer.

A CALIFORNIAN IN MAINE.

VIM. H. Sears, one of the first settlers of
North San Juan, is now in New England en-
joying himself, and thus describes to one of
his friends here the sport he has had in
Maine:
!, 81 went with two of my brothers-in-law
on fishing excursion, about ten miles from
home, and camped out over night. Four
miles of the distance we made by wagon,
and the remaining part of the way we were
compelled to walk, packing our blankets on
our backs, through thick woods. We crossed
moose and bear tracks several times, but
did not meet any of the animals, fortunately
for them. At last we reached the fishing
pond which is situated at the foot of one
of the highest mountains of the State. We
made a camp out of boughs, and fish
ing raft out of dry logs, and, after all prepa-
rations were completed, pushed out upon
the lakes desoate surface-our right Of
passage being disputed by two looms, which
kept up an unearthly yelling. In about an
nour we caught more than thirty trout, some
of them weighing over pound each. It
was fine fun and paid we'll for our journey.
On returning to camp, this is the way we
cooked our trout: procured a forked stick
fish from tail to head, along the backbone,
and ON the other prong placed piece of
pork about the length of the. fish, pressing
1t down and sticking the fork into the head;
then held the fish before hot fire, turning
it constantly, so that it was well basted with
pork grease, until done, when we served it
up on birch chip, seasoned it with salt and
pepper and ate it with our fingers. This
was the entire cuisine of the best meal | have
ever eaten. On our way home, next day, we
shot several grouse and pigeons and ate
heartily of blueberries and reseberries-the
latter very luscious. .;
Let me say here, that Maine is certainly
the place where they raise mea-that is, SO
far as size and strength are concerned. That
writer in the atlantic Monthly was correct
who said men here are known by the size
of the plank they can shoulder Owing to
the exigencies of the lumber business, most
parts of Maine would be worthless without
large men, and their existence there is an
other instance of the wise adaptation per-
ceivable in all of natures works. There is
another thing l have particularly noticed
wherever you see any one, no matter what
age or sex, clothed in home made cloth, you
will find a healthy constitution and face
flushed with red blood. The spinning wheel
and loom are harbingers of health

ALMADEN MINE.-The San jose Tribune
ton pervades the whole community in that
valley, in consequence of the cont ntinue d
stoppage of the Almaden quicksilver mine :
eff the United States Government, or any
other claimant, thinks proper to dispute the
validity of the title to the mine, this is no
reason why it should be closed, and hum
dreds of people thrown out of employment.
1t has been great loss to citizens of this
valley"

DEFAMATIoN.-It is terrible vice, says
the Petaluma Joarna1, and one by which
hearts are wrung, lives are imbittered, peace
is banished every day in our midst. Why
speak ill of your neighbor? Why believe
every idle tale against him? We are better
than we seem. Our interest for each other
is far greater than is manifested by daily in
tercourse. Don't believe evil reports. Don't
repeat them.

Smith, the Sacramento horticu1turist is
going extensively into the wine business,
according to the Bee He has already one
thousand gallons in cellar, and will have
several thousand more, as he thinks grapes
will pay better if made into wine than if
sold at eight cents pound. The main por-
tion of his wine will be from native grapes,

A NOVELTY IN FAsHIoN.-Among the nov-s
elites recently introduced in ladies apparel
is new article of suspenders. They bear
resemblance to those worn BY gentlemen,
except that they are made of delicate, white
elastic fabric, with frilled edge, about one
inch wide, and are attached 10 the skirt by
buttons in like manner. We doubt not this
view to relieve the waist of an unlimited
burden which such habiliments necessarily
produce. Reason and experience teach us
that the old and absurd method, while fol-
lowed, inpairs the health and impedes loco
motion.
