The Southern California Shipping Asso.
ciation.

Work on the new wharf now in pro-
cess of construction by the above
named company is progressing rapidly
under the able superintendent of Col.
Norman c. Jones. The wharf and
connecting roadway, when completed,
will extend about two thousand one
hundred feet from the old Quarter
masters buildings into the harbor
The greater part of the work will con-
sist of u roadway made by filling in
with earth from these buildings to
marshy island. The roadway is twenty
feet in width, and is firm and solid.
The island will also be filled in and on
the ground thus made the warehouse
of the company will be erected, the
wharf extending into the channel to
a point where there is fifteen feet of
water at extreme low tide. AT the
present but twenty men are employed,
and the work is progressing at the rate
of thirty feet per day. After this fifty
hands will be put on the work, and the
progress will increase accordingly.
The earth used in building the road
way is taken from the east side of the
embankment, thus making channel
in which light craft can float up to the
old Quartermaster buildings. These
buildings have been purchased by the
company, and as they are both large
and durable, they will make good ware
houses for the storage of wool and
other bulky freights awaiting ship
ment. The organization of this as
ISOLATION, formed as it is of some of our
heaviest capitalists and most enter
prising business men, is having
highly beneficial effect on the pros
poets Of our seaport town of Whining
ton. The business naturally centering
here and that which will be attracted
by the superiority of the shipping
facilities which the completion of the
wharf will afford cannot help building
up an important town. AS soon as
the wharf is completed a track will be
built connecting the warehouse with
the track of the Los Angeles and San
Pedro Railroad, so that freights can be
transferred directly from the cars to
the decks of the steamers. Trains will
also be able to drive right up to the
building. The organization of the
company that is so rapidly construct
ing this important improvement, inn
portant not only to the town of Will
mington, but of great moment as we'll
to the city of Los Angeles and the
vast extent Of rich agricultural and
mining country surrounding it, is
largely due to the irrepressible energy
of Gen. Banning, who never for mo-
ment has lost sight of the favorable
location of our harbor as the entrepot
of a great commerce or wavered in his
faith of the final and complete success
OF his plans. t7 -- Il

Silk Culture.

The following are extracts from
letter by Felix Gille, of Nevada City,
to the California Farmer:
AS the egg trade can be but tempo
rary, and is a business with very little
certainty about it, I would advise
people engaged in the silk industry to
have in view, in raising silkworms,
rather the producing cocoons for
their silk than for the egs. But what
shall we do. with our cocoons ? / will
say establish hlitures, where our
cocoons would be reeled into gregg, or
raw silk. Filatures, in fact, are the
link between cocoon raising and a
market; for market even adistant
one, can be obtained for our grege.
After having given a fair trial to all
varieties of the mulberry family repre-
sented on my place, and they are the
common morea alba (small-leaved),
multicaulis, marette, lhoa japonica
and grated rOse-leaved, / had con-
Guided to keep for the purpose of feed
ing silkworms none but the japonica
and grated rose-leaved, as the only
ones which at the same time produce
good silk and make the business pay.
l wish that every one interested in
silkworm raising could see for them
selves how great are the advantages in
the'two varities over all others. That
"grafted rose-leavedn is most beauti-
full tree, with thick leaves, which con-
tain plenty Of moisture to make of
them in our hot climate and dry soil,
q food of excellence for the worms.
AS to the japonica, it grows so readily
| by cuttings, its wood is so hardy its
leaves so large and so much thicker
than the multicaulas, thatiits qualities
are bound to make of it as great a
favorite as the grated rose-leaved.
Not only do those two varities,
thanks to the large size of their leaves,
yield one fourth, at least, more by the
acre than other varieties, even the
large-leaved and worthless multicaulis,
but the picking of their leaves is done
so much quicker that, for instance,
five pounds of them are picked against
one pound ofany other variety, except
the multicaulis. And as our object
must be the saving of labor, say that
We must resort to such varieties to
cheaper the cost of leaves. us
| Silkworm culture, 1 belive, can be
successfully carried on in California,
provided that people take a rational
care of the worms. But the question
with us must be the establishment OF
failures and to that end, the press
favorable to this silk industry, and
silk growers themselves, must direct
their efforts, for l do not see any
other way to make of this industry a
regular paying one. r.

j. A. JOHNSON, Editor and Proprietor

\ S THE CHARMING CHARAC-
"A ter of Southern California, and more
especially that most favored section called
Santa Barbara, becomes known to the world,
it is not surprising that widespread and
growing interest in this region should be
awakened. 1t is the constant aim of the Press
tofurnish perfectly reliable information on al
points of interest to tourists, invalids and
home-seekers, which we are now able to do
with greatly increased facilities.
While the PRESS seeks to promote the
prosperity of all Southern California by all le-
Ultimate and honorable methods, it is more
directly interested in the growth and coming
greatness of Santa Barbara. The unequaled
loneliness of the climate, its almost incredible
healthfulness, the beauty of the scenery, tn
wondrous variety and fertility of the soil, tn
almost unlimited range of products whic
flourish there without irrigation, will b
known from time to time by facts which can
not be controverted, in the columns of the
PRESS. Any intelligent person can become
familiar with this part of the State by reading
the PRESS for a year.
