Grapes and Raisins.

The establishment of the Alden
fruit drying factory in this city has
created new interest in the grape
growing business. The splendid ex-
hibit made by Mr.. DAVIS in the Fair,
of raisins made by the Alden process,
both astonishes and delights all be-
holders, and when vineyardists are
assured that the really fine raisin they
are examining is produced froa the
common Mission grape, which has up
to this time had but little commercial
value, except in certain localities for
wine making, they see ready market
at a paying price for the tons and tons
of grapes on which they have been ac-
customed to place but little value.
This Alden process seems destined to
create anew a business which had so
declined that many grape growers who
years of time In the cultivation of
vineyards, were digging up their vines
for the purpose of applying the soil to
other uses. The Alden process will
not only stop this work of destruction,
but will increase the vineyard acreage
many fold. There is every indication
that in very short time Los Angeles
will be shipping raisins to all parts of
the coast and the East. We have al
ready demonstrated that the grape,
both the common and the superior va
rieties, grown in this valley will make
raisin vastly superior in every res
pect to those produced in other por-
tions of the State.

Our Orange Products.

Ia
Yesterday the HERALD published q
communication from Mr.. THos. A.
CAREY embodying letter from DIR.
f. NJ. SHAW showing that he carried
with, him from this city to Europe
oranges which, though ripe when
packed here and forty-nine days in
transit, yet reached their destination
in perfectly sound condition. The fol-
lowing passage in DIR. SHAw's letter
shows that these oranges were not Sc
selected and packed with especial re-
ference to the long journey they
were destined to make. He says:
"After making up packages of dried
fruits for exhibition abroad, and
small selection of lines and lemons
which / plucked from the trees the
day before leaving-not calculating
upon taking oranges-I accidentally
met, on the boat between San Pedro
and San Diego, one of the WoLFsKILL
brothers who was taking small
shipment of oranges, not especially Sc
lected, to dispose of Immediately;
they were fully ripe, and in the ordi-
nary boxes containing about bushel
each. Knowing my determination,
Mr.. WoLFsKILL asked me If did not
want some oranges to take to Europe.
I laughed, and replied: That they
would hardly be likely to keep for
the length Of time and space, but that
would accept of q couple of boxes"
This information is of great value to
the orange growers of Los Angeles
valley, and proving as 1t does the last
ing qualities Of our citrous fruits, at
4 once and effectually dispels the argu
ment Of those who hold that our Or
ange product will in a short time SO
greatly exceed the demand as to de-
prrcfates the naercantile -~alao- of the
fruit. The HERALD has maintained
heretofore and now reiterates that
with railroad communication with the
East 1t will be as impossible for Los
Angeles valley to overstock the orange
market as 1t is for the gold and silver
mines of the Pacific Coast to depreci-
ate the value of the precious metals.
That we shall have the much needed
railroad communication Is as certain
as that the demand for 1t is great. Our
olange growers need not fear that they
will grow too many oranges.

FROM DIR. LUCKY, Superintendent of
our city schools, we learn that but
three deaths have occurred during the
past three months out of q total aver
age attendance of 900 pupils. This
does not show that fearful mortality
which our evening cotemporary seems
so anxious to establish. Among the
400 pupils that attend school on the
hill, there has been but one case, and
that very light, of scarletina during
the past three months. During the
past month of (" dreadful sickness
among children, the attendance at the
schools has fallen off just nine; no
more nor less.

Anxiety Over the Safety of Three Men.

REDWOOD CRY, October 26th.-Ed-

on Saturday night about 10 O'Clock,
and nothing has since been heard from

their safety. Laurenstein is clerk for
Hanson, Ackerman & Co., lumber
merchants. Merevy is cousin to w.
w. Armstrong, a merchant of this
place, and Myers has been employed
as tinsmith in J. +. Fitch's hardware
store. It is thought that they were
out on the bay when the storm COM
menced. They were last seen at the

danger. Captain Minnie has been out

o'clock this morning, and has not yet

A Crazy Journal.

The San Francisco Post has more
idiosincrazies than an old maid whims.
One Of it's peculiarities is an inordin-
ate hatred of man who owns land.
To such an extent does it carry this
mania that 1t stoops to the justifica-
tion Of wrong doer when his aecuser
chances to be land owner. This is
evidenced in the fact that it defends j.
