Centennial Decorations.

Messrs. Lehman & Co., who have
the contract with the Celebration
Committee for the Fourth of July dec
orations, kindly favored us yesterday
with an inspection of their plans and
designs. The finest piece of decora-
ton will be the triumphal arch to be
erected in front of Downey Block, near
the intersection of Commercial street.
A part of the framework for this struc-
ture was erected yesterday, and the
work will be continued throughout
the week in order that all may be in
readiness on time. The design con-
templates a triple arch, the centre
thirty feet wide and the sides fif-
teen feet each, between appropri-
ately decorated columns. The rough
frame work will he first covered with
cloth and this Overlaid with ever
greens, banners, shields, notices and
patriotic emblems. On the two side
arches will appear the dates "1776"
and 1885," while the center will bear
the words, zone hundred years ago."
Looking up the street the extreme
left hand column will be surmounted
by statue in profile, representing d
Continental soldier, and on the CORES
ponding column opposite Union SOL
der in more modern garb and equip
ments. The inner columns will bear
respectively statues Of Grant and
Washington, and we are assured that
the former parsonage will be repre-
sented with Cuba six cigar in his
mouth as he is supposed to exist per-
petually, eating, drinking or sleeping.
Upon the apex of the central arch will
be placed representation of the God
dess of Liberty land each flanking arch
to right and left will bear the Amer
lean eagle after the most ap-
proved design. All of the figures Will
be life size. Ranged up and down
the inner columns will be series OF
shields, each bearing the name of one
of the original thirteen colonies, while
the outer columns display in like
manner the present States of the I'm
ion. The whole design is good, and Ii
executed in like good taste and work.
manship will form a very pretty fig
ure for the procession to rally around.
The contractors have a reputation to
make in this particular branch, and
our citizens may rest assured that
they will do their level best. Besides
the triunphal arch, Messrs. Lehman
e. Co. have engaged to construct four
chariots for the procession, raise and
decorate stand for the exercises at
Round House Garden, and stretch
ten lines across the streets in various
places with flags and decorations. The
chariots are to contain respectively
representations of the thirteen origi-
nal colonies; the present States of the
Unian; George and Martha Washing
ton, and the fourth has not yet been
determined upon. The two first will
contain young ladies and Misses
dressed in white, with gold crowns
hearing the names of the several
States and colonies. The decorators
desire volunteer force of seventy
five girls to assist them in this part of
the display. Besides the work for the
Committee, Lehman & Co. are con-
structing superb gilded car for the
French Society, and they announce
themselves ready to contract for any
other decorations that may be re-
quired by societies or individuals.

A Good Word.

A correspondent of the San Fran
cisco Examiner, under date of June
10th, says number of good things
about Los Angeles and her people.
We make the following extract, which
will be read with interest:
THE ORANGE ORCHARDS
are showing better prospects than ever
before. A visit to the grounds Of 7.
A. Gary's orchard will show what can
be done here in orange culture, He
has in his nursery several hundred
thousand trees, some in fruit and
many i'm blossom. He started in busi-
ness ten years ago without penny,
and now il reported to be worth hun
dred thousand dollars or more; and If
the product of his nursery and orchard
appro ximate in the yield that Is an
ticipated, in few years more he will
be worth half million. He has made
q perfect success, and is a partner in
the cooperative nursery, that has
upon its grounds over five hundred
thousand trees. In this regard, Los
Angeles will make flattering show
ing in the coming twelve months.
The climate Is the best friend to the
community, and gives heavy reward
for personal effort, although the gross
est blunders are made. AT this date
the orchardists are transplanting, and
the complaints of failures are numer-
ous The fault lies in the fact that
the rule applies here, as everywhere
else, in this county in
TOO MUCH IRRIGATION.
In the Cooperative Association
grounds, which are managed by II. j.
Crow, they are setting out from ten to
twenty thousand trees per week. Upon
this property of two hundred acres
there are seven thousand five hundred
orchard trees, and they are in the best
condition. The stockholders In this
enterprise, among others, are: L. A.
Carey, III. J. Crow, w. X. Bert-who
are among the most enterprising citi-
zens of the place. Mr.. Crow has Il
ranch of his own about five miles from
the center Of the town, upon which he
has twenty-five hundred peach trees,
two thousand Of which are bearing,
twenty-five hundred pear trees, six
hundred apple trees, nectarine, plum,
prune and almond trees by the hum
dreds, twenty-five hundred orange
trees, and the sight of this place re-
minds one of the idea that there Is in
this country reality Of a man living
under his own vine and fig tree. Lines
are growing in abundance.
