We learn that Mr.. D. Halliday,

We learn that Mr.. d. Halliday,
inventor of the famed Halliday
windmill, manufactured at Batavia,
Illinois, who is visiting his brother
in-law, Councilman Green, of this
city, has been making investiga-
lions as to the practicability of es-
tablishing a branch factory in this
city. He says the location is an
admirable one, provided the neces-
sary water power can be secured al
reasonably rates. Mr.. Halliday
already has large trade on the
Pacific, extending as far as Aus
tralia and New Zealand and he
thinks that with u mandatory
here he could make his mills at
greatly reduced cost, thus increas-
ing the demand for them. All he
asks is that our citizens will take
sufficient stock in the enterprise to
give it q local character. Here is
an industry that, we should think,
our capitalists would be glad to
foster. Aside from the fact that
such a mandatory would give
permanent employment to large
number of skilled workmen,
there's money in 1t. Mr.. Halliday,
fourteen years ago, commenced the
manufacture of his windmills on a
capital of $4,000, and to-day, we
are credibly informed, he is worth
FULLY 100000. We trust that this
opportunity for the solid advance
ment of our city will not, like so
many others, be allowed to pass
away from us through lack of the
material assistance asked.
The Lake Vineyard Land and
Water Association was re-organ.
lied yesterday by the election of
the following officers: J. de Barth
Shorb, President; P. Beaudry,
Treasurer; F. w. Wood Secretary.
The Lake Vineyard Company have
much to extort the recognition of
our people. Theirsuperb cemented
ditch and reservoirs assure a
boundless supply of water for a
body of the finest fruit lands in
California. Nowhere else in the
State will investment be attended
with more gratifying outcome, pc.
cuniary and other, than in the
Lake Vineyard tract. The project
is the outcome of the liberality and
energy of the late Col. b. d. Will
SOP, and the Messrs. J. de Barth
Shnr a nd DrnInnt
From the tenor of a recent arti-
Gle in the Santa Monica Outlook.
we take it that Fisher, the editor
of that paper. has been down TAX
ing look at his splendid farm in
the Willows. We should not be
surprised if he should turn out
first class granger some day.
Though no editor in California is
less of q pumpkin-head than Fish
er, when he gets on that farm he
will do some astonishing things in
the line of that esculent. He has
lately patented o process for graft
ing the squash on the Usage orange
that is the cunningest thing we
have met in agriculture for some
time past, and which is yet des-
tined to make his fortune.
Woods benefit comes off at
Turn-Verein Hall tonight, when
"Uncle Toms Cabin" will be pre-
sented. Our people should see to it
that the occasion is made an ova-
ton to the gallant Colonel. His
Opera House has been the one I'M
failing element of life in an excep-
tionally dull season. The enter
tainment tonight will be worthy
the attention of our elite. Turn out
in force and make the night gala
and fruitful of dollars to this UNI
daunted manager.
Who dares say that we are not
on the high road to thorough
business revival? We first noted
the temperance of the itinerant
harpers and violinists who soothe
the savage breast in o down town
saloon. And now we have to re.
cord the advent of q blind hurdy-
gurdy man. This is cumulative
evidence that brisk times are
ahead. Swallows do not more
surely indicate the summer than
do these gentry piping times.
