The Manitowoc tribune. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1866-1878, 1874-01-09

The State Journal has the following
concerning the Legislative visiting COM
mittee
The five members of the Senate and
Assembly elect, deputed to visit the
State charitable and penal institutions,
closed their tour of inspection with
visit to the new hospital for the insane,
at Oshkosh, on Friday. Accounts OF the
papers at the localities of the different
institutions represent. the committee as
being well pleased with what they saw.
They will speak for themselves in due
time.
At the institution for the blind, at
GAINESVILLE, the classes were exhibited to
the committee with interesting exercises,
especially in music. The committe ex-
pressed themselves satisfied of the hec-
essity of improvements arked for.
Atthe institute for the deaf and dumb,
at Delavan, the committee expressed
themselves greatly pleased with the
management of affairs, and as thorough
ly convinced of the need of more room
before more pupils are admitted,
At Waupun, dispatch says, the Com
mittee found the management of the
State Prison had been such that no es-
capes havestaken place during the year
and that the gain in the net receipts OF
the shops had been 800, 573. They COM
pliment the warden and clerk highly by
| saying that the books are 80 accurately
and clearly kept that they can readily
see that everything is correct, and the
| necessity for long, tedious investiga-
ton, is obviated.
At Oshkosh, the Committee looked
through the Hospital for the Insane, and,
after inspecting the crowded condition OF
the building, were convinced of the ne
cessity of the immediate completion Of
the south wing. They seemed perfectly
satisfied with the way the affairs of the
institution is conducted, and paid DIR.
Kempster many compliments for his
thorough management.

OUR little evening cotemporary has
taken new tack. The school report
has exploded its story about the raw
ages of the scarletina, and it now as
serts that the fine weather and the
"hygiene of our climate" renders our
sanitary condition such that we can
afford to brag of 1t. This is pleasant
reading in the columns of q paper that
only few days ago announced to the
world that the scarletina was depopu-
lating our homes all because Mr..
BEAUDRY is the peoples candidate for
Mayor and the ring which makes our
little contemporary its organ and tool,
desires his defeat.

Los Angeles Valley Apples.


Many years ago somebody deter
mined not to be pleased with Califor-
MIA products, went back to the other
eide and said it was true that Califor-
mia produced the largest fruit In the
world but that its size and beauty was
all there was of 1t; that 1t was 20
wanting in flavor as to be almost taste
less. This story was handed around
and finally found place in the col
umns OF the newspapers, where of
course, everybody read it.. From that
day to this, there have been many
among our visitors who cannot find
the rich flavor of the New England
fruit In the apples and peaches of CAL
ifornia. We have not tasted Eastern
fruit for score of years, and cannot,
of course, set up as ajudge Of 1t, but
we have always had suspicion that
California fruit was as luscious and
delicately favored as that of any other
portion of the world, and within the
past few weeks we have experimental
on the palates of gentlemen from Can
ada and the Northeastern States,
where they grow as fine favored ap-
Piles and peaches as can be found any,
where. These gentlemen after test
ing our fruit pronounced 1t equal In
flavor to any they have ever tasted.
This explodes the old story about
tasteless fruit. Now word as to Los
Angeles peaches. 1t has been said so
often that people who do not investi-
gate for themselves have come to be-
lieve it that our temperate zone fruits
are not of fine flavor. We never be-
lieved this and in the other case we
have taken some pains to collect in
formation on the subject. Some
weeks since Mr.. SHAW of this city
brought to the HERALD office q bas-
ket of as large and fine favored
peaches as can be produced from a
New England orchard. This was the
opinion of half dozen disinterested
judges. Now of apples. Yesterday
Mr.. J. E. McCoMAs left at this office
samples of the Russet, Greening,
Baldwin, Bellflower, Rambo and sew
eral other varieties Of apples from his
orchard at Compton, which were both
large and we'll fiavored-hard to sur
pass in either quality. Any amount
of evidence may be offered to show
that Los Angeles valley is as well
adapted to the raising of fine favored
apples and peaches as it is to the pro-
duction of the best quality of cit
rous fruits.

The Alden Process.

Yesterday We paid another visit of
investigation to the Alden fruit dry
Ing factory of Mr.. GEO. B. DAVIS.
We found everything in fine condition.
Although these works have been in
operation but few days there Is an
air Of business activity about them
that reminds one of the aspect and
surroundings of an old and long sue
cessful establishment. Everything is
moving along with the regularity of
clock-work, and the bins of raisins and
dried fruit that meet the eye on the
third and fourth floors OF the factory
are almost enough to discredit the
statement that the grapes, apples and
pears from which it was made hung
ON the parent stem less than week
ago. An Idea of the rapidity with
which the Alden process preserves
fruit may be derived from this fact:
At four O'Clock on Friday afternoon
Mr.. WILLIAMS brought to the factory
y quantity of figs fresh picked from
trees. These figs were put through
the evaporating process during the
night and at 8 o'clock next morning
box ofthem dried and neatly packed
We're on exhibition in the pavil-
lion, where they were pronounced
q first-class article by our best Judges.
To many this statement will seem In
credible, but it Is true in every respect.
At the factory there are couple of
tons OF raisins made from the white
muscat grape and perhaps three tons
or Mission grape raisins which will
be packed and shipped to San Fran
cisco in few days. Mr.. DAVIS exhib-
tied box of raisins picked from the
stems before curing. They were a
splendid sight, and a trial proved
them as rich to the taste as they were
beautiful to the eye. There is also a
large quantity of pear ready for pack
Ing. The receiving department of the
factory Is well stocked with grapes,
ngs and pears and more fruit is arriv-
ing every hour. The evaporators are
Iuii OF grapes In the different stages
or curing and a number of girls are
constantly employed in washing and
laying the fruit on the wire screens
which carry 1t from the top to the bot
tom of the evaporators. Mr.. DAVIS
has assumed charge of the establish
ment In person, and is confident that
he is able to place in the market Alden
prepared fruit which cannot be sur
passed In any respect by the factories
Of other portions of the State.

these two gentlemen will consent to

trust that the members named will be
retained in their seats. Nothing tends
more to the successful conducting of

{ Los ANGELES and San Diego coun-
ties produce an immense amount of
honey for export, and here is fact
that will be Of interest to our honey
raisers. Mr.. H. BECKLEY of this
county recently shipped quantity of
honey to New York by way of the
Isthmus, and yesterday received his
first returns from it. After deducting
all expenses he finds that he has net
ted a fraction over nine cents per
pound on the shipment. This is over
two cents more than can be realized
from sales in San Francisco. Mr..
BECKLEY says that by shipping per
railroad about one half cent per pound
may be added to the above figures.
