a PROPOSITION To FORM A NEW

Local Option Law a Failure.

Some of the papers are maintaining
that the Local Option law will be a
failure, on the ground that the United
States having sanctioned the sale Of
liquors by taxing and collecting Ii
scense, the State therefore has no right
to prohibit the sale, that such law
would be unconstitutional. This is
not the case. The United States license
does not purport to grant right. 1t
only recognizes an existing branch of
trade and says it must pay q license.
Now if a State law comes in and pro-
hibits that branch of industry (?) it
in no way conflicts with the United
States license law. Did the United
States license law attempt to validate
the right of an individual to sell
liquors, where State law prohibited
the sale, then the United States license
law would be contrary to the Constitu-
ton of the United States, which re-
serves to the States the exclusive right
to control their domestic affairs so long
as it is done under a republican form
of government.

from Richland or Orange, thirty-five
miles southeast of Los Angeles, in
forms us that the wild grapes are ten
inches high on the dry lands, and
eighteen inches high on the low lands.
The early sown rye is out in head, the
late sown is about one foot high. All
the grain sown in tie Fall before the
rains is heading out and will be ready
for harvest by the last of May or first
of June. All will make a good crop
without any more rain. The farmers
are planting vines and fruit trees by
the wagon load. They will plant
their orange trees in May and June.
1t is from fifty to eighty feet to surface

DR.. Hayward has an orchard of
variety of fruit trees planted in the
Spring Of 1873. These he has never
irrigated. They have made good
growth, but not SO good as the orchards
which have been irrigated twice. AS
it was their first year he expects here
after fine growth, as the trees are
now deeply rooted in the ground.
From Richland to Los Angeles the
crops, acres by the thousand, show two
great facts: the grain sown before
January is heading out and is beyond
all danger; the crops sown late or
since January are about one foot high.
From these two facts, which have held
good every year for the last five years,
another fact is apparent: that if our
farmers will sow their grain in Octo-
Der, November and December, dry
ploughing, they will raise crop every
year. -

Tho Alden Process Of DRYING Fruit.

Cannot the Alden process Of fruit
drying be introduced in Los Angeles :?
In Summer and Autumn fruit rots
upon the ground, and yet if you go
into stores in the town to-day, you
will find dried fruits for sale imported
from the northern counties of the
State. This is poor economy. The
Alden process is rapidly superceding
the old method of drying by exposure
to the sun. Instead of fruit coated
with dust, and blackened often with
the night dew, poor apology for the
rich fruits of the orchard, by the new
process an article is turned out, clear
and bright, possessing all the favor of
the fresh fruit and infested with no
worms. The process is said to be sim
pie and expeditious-a building with
several chambers through which the
heated air from fire slowly passes.
The fruitwhen dried brings the lhigh-
est market prices, and is for many
purposes taking the place Of canned
fruit. Raisins, figs, apples, peaches,
pears, berries, everything in the fruit
or vegetable lire is preserved. Go in
to one of the stores and ask to see some
fruit dried by The Alden process! w

News from the Farmers.

Mr.. Thomas Of this city, engaged in
the nursery business, (who to-day or
dered twenty-five copies of our weekly
to send East gives the following facts:
There has been great demand for all
kinds Of fruit trees-twice as many
sold this year as last. Orange trees
five years old sell at three dollars each,
four years old one dollar and fifty
cents, three years old sixty cents.
Lime trees are more expensive. Two
year old apple and peach, thirty cents.
English walnuts three years old,
twenty-five cents. Foreign grape
cuttings, ten dollars per 1000. MIR.
Thomas will have 10000 fruit trees for
sale next year. When he transplants
them he will warrant them to grow.
Has the largest five year old trees ever
offered for sale in this county. On
Coyote ranch, beyond New river, there
are over 1000 acres in grain. Ten ar
tesian wells are in the same locality,
in depth from 1870 to 200 feet. He has
well on his farm in the same place
200 feet deep; cost, $500. 1t furnishes
water, If properly used, to irrigate 500
acres of land. He has planted fifty
acres Of English walnut trees, four
years old, which are growing finely.
His barley is growing 50 rank that
he keeps his sheep on it to pasture 1t
down to make grain. Good land in
that locality can be had for SIS to $50
per acre. The artesian wells referred
to are about eight miles from those of
Mr.. Bixbys, referred to yesterday.
The underground river that feeds these
wells must be at least twelve miles

our Back countr an Empire.

Look at the "map of our back coun-
try" and observe the geographical and
typographical features Of the country
shown there. .tt,.s..a I'm IS
Yesterday we called attention to the
natural system Of railroads radiating
from Los Angeles, especially running
to the interior Few persons, realize
the extentof the resources of the coun-
try or understand the effect railroads
would have in settling it up and de-
veloping its mines. fl AU'ccisnH
The progressive men Of the Nine
teenth century, and especially Ameri-
cans, follow up or shortly precede the
railroad and telegraph. Let it be
known that there is a country back of
US and tributary to us, as is shown by
our map; let it also be known that
railroads will shortly be run out
through the mining, regions and peo-
pie will hasten, to occupy the country
and to develop its mines. Our great
est prosperity depends on this. What
would Chicago or New York or st.
Louis be without their railroads radi-
ating out and forming net work over
the immense region back Of them.
Now bear in mind that there are
hundreds of cities. and sea port
towns dividing the business Of the
States east of the Missouri with the
cities above named, and also remem-
Der that there is and can be no rival to
Los Angeles to divide the commerce
of its back country, and one can fore
cast the commercial importance of
this place. To reach San Diego on the
south or Santa Barbara on the north,
freight would have to pass through
Los Angeles and travel commercial
distance Of nearly 200 miles further. ii
" A striking proof of the value of rail-
roads as pioneers Of civilization is af-
forded, says the New York Mail, by
the recent statistics published pertain
ing to the growth Of Colorado Before
the Kansas Pacific Railroadwas built.
the Territory was stagnant. In ten
years, from 1860 to 1870, it made no
progress in population. But with the
completion of that railroad new life
was infused into every artery. Wealth
has doubled, population has trebled,
the Territory exports hides, wool, cat
tie, sheep, gold and silver to the East
and Denver has become city of $4,000
inhabitants. By this road the immi-
grafton is said to be 5000 month.
Agriculture, mining and manufactures
have acquired new character. But
supplement this we have the use of
the Denver andyRio Grande Railway,
which has awakened the old Spanish
settlements from sleep of centuries,
planted wheat farms, built grist mills.
opened coal mines, built fourishing
towns and developed a capacity. and
