Will Not Be Satisfied.

The San Francisco Post has never
taken the trouble to conceal its hos
tility to the Grangers, and of late it
has been even more than usually open
in its antagonistic manifestations.
For the past few weeks it has made
almost daily attacks on MORGAN &
Sons, a firm claiming to be acting as
the grain shipping agent for the
Grangers. 1t has charged that the
firm were tonnage monopolists, and
in place of aiding the former in secur-
ing cheap tonnage, were in fact, do
ing all in their power to compel them
to pay exorbitant freight rates. Mr..
WRIGHT, a leading Granger, in a long
letter to the Chronicle, explained the
connection between the Grange and
MJRaiN & Sons, which was that
while the firm were employed to Sc
cure tonnage for the Grange, no bind
ing contract existed which could not
be broken at any time ,and no arrange
ment had been entered into that would
not be annulled the moment any
signs OF bad faith presented them
selves on the part of MORGAN & Sons.
Still tn Post was not satisfied, and 1t
int ,rvlewel the firm. The interview
resultsd in elicitlng just the informa-

The Alden Fruit Dryer.

Mr.. GEO. b. DAVIS, whois the owner
OF the Alden fruit drying process for
this county, arrived on the Orizaba
yesterday morning, and will, we pre-
sumo, lose no time in commencing
operations. This process, which has
only been In operation in this
State about one year, is admitted by
the most competent judges to surpass
any other means for drying fruit yet
discovered. Its products are far supe-
rior in color, flavor, cleanliness and
keeping qualities to the sun-dried
fruits, and although attempts have
been made to establish rival kilns,
none have come into general favor,
whereas, the Alden drying-houses are
rapidly increasing, and each new one
is regarded as great benefit to the
district in which it is built. The Alta,
which, by the way, pays a good deal of
attention to the Southern coast coun-
ties, in an article on this industry
says: No county can derive more
profit from the Alden drying-house
than Los Angeles, which has the
largest area in orchard and vineyard
In the State, and the most extensive
districts fitted for horticultural pur-
poses on the southern coast. 1t has
1900, ZOO, 900 grape vines, 10000 orange
trees, 1000 lemon trees, 5000 fig trees,
and 10000 apple, peach, pear, plum
and apricot trees. The vines produce,
on an average, six pounds of grapes
each annually, and the trees fifty
pounds of fruit, making total of 2S,-
100000 in average seasons, and much
more in exceptionally good years.
There are $1,000 pounds of grapes and
fruits for each inhabitant; and as the
distance to San Francisco is four hum
dred miles, and freight dear, the place
has special need of the best methods
of reducing the bulk and weight of the
fruit, and giving it durable form.
Mr.. DAVIS comes to make his home.
He intends to put up upmachinery to dry
one hundred and eighty bushels of
fruit daily. Those who are anxious to
see what the Alden process can do,
may satisfy themselves by calling
upon Mr.. DAVIS, who is now at the
Clarendon Hotel, where they will see
dried peas, apricots, raisins (of the diff
ferent variety of grape), pears, pota-
toes Sweet and Irish, corn, apples,
pumpkins, squashes, and other arti-
cles. The exhibit is really astonish-
ing.

Coop Hope GRANGE, OF Illinois.
which, we were told, passed resolu-
tions to the effect that the. Grange
movement was failure and then dis
banded, did no such thing. The Good
Hope Grange did not disband, and it
did not surrender its charter. On the
contrary, it is in iourishing condi-
ton and is contributing its share to-
wards disorganizing the once COM
pletely organized monopoly rings.
The Good Hope had been captured by
a band of hungry office-seekers, who
sought to convert it to their own adj
vancement but they failed, signally
failed. They filled all the offices, but
they could not manage the honest
members who elected them from
their seats and elected honest men in
their places. Good Hope is now a
fiourishing Grange, and has no thought
Of surrendering its charter.

IN the absence of complete system
Of Irrigation, the plan adopted by a
number of companies of forming
homestead associations, and dividing
the land into small farms which are
disposed of with water-right at reas-
enable rates, 10 perhaps the best cal
culated for confering benefit to the
greatest number. General LAUREN
UPsoN, who was in the HERALD of
flee few days ago, gave us the out
line of one Of these associations in
which he is engaged, which if carried
out will furnish land, and water to ir-
rigate it, to several thousand people.
In the greater portion Of this State
water is as essential to the successful
cultivation of the soil as the soil itself,
and any scheme for spreading water
over land where there is now no water
is worthy Of encouragement, and when
it succeeds it should be hailed as a
blessing.

Ho! for the Seaside-The Rolling Surf and
Sand

EDITOR HERALD: 1t requires very
considerable amount of romantic inn
agination to draw much pleasure from
seaside bathing-place-especially if
it be somewhat primitive in it's ac-
commodations and surroundings. To
Presidents and members of Cabinets
who can afford twenty-thousand-dollar
cottages, fine studs Of horses, bounti-
full larder and full cellar, time may be
passed very pleasantly; but to the or
dinary mortal, who can't afford these
luxuries, the pleasure of the thing de-
pends wholly on the Imagination. The
other day we noticed one old fat fellow
with tight boots, rendered intensely
SO by the hot sun, hobbling over the
stones and through the sands in search
of Madam Pleasure, and for time we
thought he had found her; for he sud-
denly squatted down in the softest bed
of sand he could find, pulled off the
boots, and began to air his corns--mut-
tering In the meantime that which we
hardly recognized as the Lords
prayer. After lying there in the broil-
ing sun for some time, he all at once
bethought himself that he came there
for pleasure and fun. So he amused
himself by gathering up handfulls of
sand and slyly throwing it into the
eyes of other pleasure-seekers as they
passed by. Tired of this, he moved to
where there were a lot OF bathers-
male and female = most of whom
looked like bunches of detached sea-
weed, as they rolled and tossed among
the breakers, and much less graceful
as they emerged from the water.
Having seen enough of this, the old
gentleman might have been seen
making his way over the beach and
intermediate half mile of pebbles,
rolling like Dutch shallop in cross
sea, to his hotel. After seating him
self in the coolest place he could find,
and resting until he recovered his
wind, the first thing he was heard to
say was, Wonder if this is Local
Option town ?" To this inquiry he
was informed that he could find out
by calling at that also tree on the OPP
posite side of the road. The old gen.
tleman struck for the tree immedi-
ately, and Mack told him all about it,
and we have no doubt the information
was satisfactory, as he looked much
better pleased on his return. Never
theless, he still holds to his opinion
that sea-shore bathing places are only
fit for Presidents, mem bers OF Cabi-
nets, very young romantic people, and
dem-phules generally. ToopLES.

IT is a matter of wonder that the
people of this valley do not more gen.
orally and more extensively cultivate
small fruit. The demand for black
berries, raspberries, currants, and the
like has never been met by the supply
This class Of fruit may be produced in
a season and the greater portion of the
soil used in growing an orchard or q
grove can be made productive of small
fruit while the trees are coming for
ward. A greater variety of products
will be found more profitable than a
close adherence to the growing of one

Bad Boys.

In San Francisco few days ago a
party Of men and boys known as
hoodlums rained shower of brickbats
on man quietly discharging his duty
as a laborer aoout circus tent. One
of the missiles struck the poor fellow
on the head, and in few hours he
was q co"se. The band of villains
fled, Of course, and although several
have been arrested on suspicion, it is
almost aertt'n that for want of evil
dence not on, of them will be hung.
San Francisco is full of the hoodlum
element. They are not all boys.
There are thousands of men-hoodlums
in that city. A spirit of outawry pre-
walls there, and is growing stronger
day by day 1t is noticeable that
sparks-scintilation flashed out
from the great loodlum center, reach
ing to nearly all the towns in the
State. Stockton, Sacramento, Marys-
vile and other places are complaining
of hoodlum outrages. Even our town
feels the influence. A few days ago a
couple of boys snatched an old mans
purse and ran away with it. Last
Sunday party of youths were found
tearing off the side of house and
when stopped by the owner they ran
away, jeering at his threat of turning
them over to policeman. These are
little boys, but they are bad ones, and
will grow worse as they grow older.
They are infected with the hoodlum
spirit, and unless looked after, either
by death or their parents, will become
dangerous citizens. We believe the
parents Of Los Angeles exercise as
much control over their boys as those
of any other town in the State, but
the little fellows break through all re-
straint at times. They find bad COM
panions, and they learn mischief rap
idly. Employment is a good thing
for boys. When they work all week
they will like to rest on Sunday.
A working boy seldom turns out bad
boy.

tion set forth by Mr.. WRIGHT. The
Post was not satisfied and continued
to chatter about the Granger agents.
Finally the Executive Committee of
the State Grange made an official an
nouncement that though the firm
were the accredited agents, they could
and would be dismissed when their
acts were not satisfactory. Still the
Post is not satisfied, and continues to
charge MORGAN & Sons as monopo-
lists. These persistent attacks In the
face of all the facts seem to indicate
the purpose of the Post to be to create
a feeling of distrust among the farm
ers, and thus play into the hands of
the old tonnage monopoly ring of San
Francisco.
