The Mission lndians-coionization

The San Diego Union of the 25tn
has the following: Mr.. Chas A. Wet.
more left on the Orizaba last evening
for Los Angeles, where he will meet
the Catholic Bishop of this Diocese
for an interview concerning the Mis-
sion Indians. The plan proposd by
Mr.. Wetmore for the management OF
these Indians is very warmly endors-
by all of our citizens, and it's adoption
is earnestly hoped for. 1t is believed
to be the first practical scheme for the
improvement of the condition of the
Indians that has been presented, and
no doubt is entertained Of its success
if put into operation. The Secretary
of the Interior is to be congratulated
upon his selection of person so emf
nently qualified in every way as Mr..
Wetmore, TO examine and report
upon the condition and needs of the
Mission Indians. We understand
that Mr.. w. returns to Washington in
q few weeks to resume his duties as
agent of the American Press Associa-
tion.

Azusa To bacco.

Mr.. THOMAS PERKINS has shown US
some cigars and plug tobacco mauufac-
tured from tobacco grown this year at
Azusa. The cigars appear to be of ex-
cellent quality, and want only the age
necessary to dry them out to make
them excellent smoking. The manu-
factured tobacco is pronounced fine
article by those who chew the weed
1t Is the opinion of Mr.. PERKINS, who,
by the way, is an old tobacconist, that
the soil and climate of Los Angeles
valley is we'll adapted to the growth
oftobacco. lie estimates that at cost
not exceeding $40 each acre will pro-

which will yield from twelve hundred

ufactured article, worth from fifty to
seventy-five cents per pound. In the
curing of his tobacco, Mr.. PERKINS
follows the old process and avoids all
patent schemes. An important item
to tobacco growers is that in this val
ley two crops are grown each year.
Mr.. PERKINS says his second growth
now coming on will be better in every
respect than the first.

Our Raisins.

yesterday examined the first box
of raisins manufactured at the Alden
Fruit Drying Works of GEO. b. DAVIS
in this city. 1t was fine sight, and
may be regarded as the first specimen
of business that will bring into this
valley millions of dollars. We have
now one of these factories which runs
three sets of evaporators with capac-
ity for turning out seven tons of dried
fruit or raisins per day, and we ven
ture to say that within the next two
years at least half dozen factories
with an aggregate of twenty five
evaporators will be in operation in
Los Angeles valley. The daily earn
ings of these evaporators will be i'm
mense, and every dollar will be so
much saved to our people. 1t is a
matter of comment that the Alden
dried fruit now manufactured in this
State is not equal to the demand. The
President of the California company
writes to Mr.. DAVIS that he is in daily
receipt of orders for the fruit from the
East, not one of which he has yet been
able to fill. With regard to the raj
sins now being manufactured by Mr..
DAVIS, we but repeat the expressed
opinion of our grocery firms when we
say that they are superior article,
more than meeting the most saRguine
expectations of the most hopeful.
These raisins are manufactured from
our Mission grape, but owing to the
great superiority of the Los Angeles
Mission grape, both in size and sac
charine matter, over that of the upper
counties, the raisin compares favor
ably with the imported Malaga, and,
as stated by Mr.. FRANK PYLE, Secre-
tary of the California company, who
has superintended the construction of
Mr.. DAVIS factory, is one hundred per
cent. better, both in size and quality,
than the raisin made from the Mission
grape grown around San Francisco
Doys LIS Ao iiSii ttutuOIAtS, as MI
PYLE has been intimately connected
with the raisin manufacture by the
Alden process in Napa, Solano, Sono-
ma, Alameda and Santa Clara coun-
ties. 1t is certain, and we are pleased
to record the fact, that the Los Ange-
les Mission grape raisin must COM
mand at least one-third higher price
both in the local and Eastern market
than the raisin from the same grape
grown in the more northern parts of
the State. Owing to the lateness at
which the factory commenced opera
tions, Mr.. DAVIS will not be able to
make as general an exhibit in the
Fair now progressing of Alden
dried fruits as desirable, but he will
show some fine samples of raisins, to-
gether with several other qualities of
fruit

WHILE visiting this city few days
ago, Messrs. CRoCKER and COTTON did
not announce 1t as the purpose of the
Southern Pacific Railroad Company
to Immediately extend the road be-
yond its present terminus at Spadra.
They, however, went over the route
to San Gorgonio Pass and after thor
ough examination of the country ex-
pressed themselves satisfied that the
road ought to be completed as far as
the Pass at as early day as possible.
The distance from Spadra to the pass
is fifty-two miles, and as en- order has
been issued for the delivery of one
hundred thousand ties at the end of
the track, We conclude that the road
will be extended fifty miles at an
early day. These ties are already GO
ing forward and the number ordered
will build just fifty miles of track.

How Water Rates are Fixed.

There is much complaint concern
ing the water rates of this city. All
cause for dissatisfaction may be easily
removed and we hope the company
and the city will take the necessary
steps to that end Immediately. No
Water Company has the right to fix
the rates fer water at pleasure. How
these rates are to be agreed upon will
be seen by reading the following Sec
ton of law. At its last session the
Legislature amended section $40 of the
Civil Code to read as follows:
"All corporations formed to supply water
to cities and towns, must furnish pure, fresh
water to the inhabitants thereof, for family
uses, so long as the supply permits, at reas-
enable rates and without distinction of per-
son, upon proper demand therefor; and
must furnish water TO the extent of their
means in case:of fire other or great necessity,
free or charge. The rates TO be charged for
water must be determined by Commissioners
TO be selected as follows: two by the city and
county or city and town authorities, or when
hnere are no city or town authorities, by the
Board OF Supervisors of the county and two
Dy the water company; and in case major
ity cannot agree to the valuation, the four
Commissioners must choose a fifth Commits
sioner; II they cannot agree upon fifth, then
the County Judge OF the county must appoint
such nth person. The decision OF the ma
Jority OF the Commissioners shall determ me
The rates to be charged for water for ono year
and until new rates are established. The
Board of Supervisors or the proper city or
relating 70 the delivery OF water not incon-
sistent with the laws of the State"
Thus it will be seen that If the Los
Angeles Water Company have adopt
ed rules and rates that are onerous
and Objectionable, the remedy lies
with the people. The above is the
law, and we presume the company
VIII not object to its enforcement.

Laying Their Plans.

The plan Of the campaign adopted
by the old ring managers who have so
long controlled the municipal govern
ment of this city is beginning to de-
velop itself. They fancy themselves
invincible, and few of the less dis
Greet are boasting that they will elect
their candidate for Mayor and a ma
jority of the Council, despite the ef-
forts of citizens who would emanci-
pate the city from the thraldom of the
old masters. The extra exertions of
the ring to defeat Mr.. BEAUDrY are
manifest in every Ward, but they can
not accomplish the task. The people
will elect Mayor who will consider
the interests of the city paramount to
those of private corporation, and the
bitter fight the ring is making
against Mr.. BEAUDRY only proves to
the masses that he is the man over
whom as Mayor the old masters feel
that they will have no control.

Raislns.

Spain is the greatest producer of
raisins. Those styled Valencia raj
sins find great favor with all classes of
English people. A few years ago a
crop of $4,000 tons, for the supply of
the world, was considered large; now
London receives $4,000 tons out of a
total of 10000 tons that are grown.
These raisins also find large market
in the United States and Canada The
improvement in the article most OBJ
servable of late years is that of remov-
ing the stalk before shipment. AS no
useful purpose has been found
as yet for the stalks, they
are generally burned. Muscatel, or
table raisins, from Malaga, vary
widely in quality. They are known
as "layers," "bunch" and "loose" raj
sins, the best being picked from the
stalk. This sort is largely used in
America. The finest growth of Mus
catels come to this country in deco
rated boxes, with colored paper and
lace edgings, increasing the cost of
packing to the extent of $l25 per ton.
The Sultana raisins, produced in Tur-
key, are cured in the sun, slight
sprinkling of oil being employed to
prevent the too great evaporation of
the moisture and assist in the preser-
walton OF the fruit. The Germans are
also large consumers of these raisins,
and they constitute an article of traffic
between Trieste and Smyrne.

ITY AND COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER.

A GOOD deal of dissatisfaction pre-
walls among those interested, on the
action of the Judges in awarding the
second heat of the three-in-five trot-
ting race yesterday. It is claimed
that "Moor" broke as badly as
" Echo" and though "Echo" came in
two lengths ahead, the heat was
given to "Moor." We know nothing
of the merits of the case.
