The quality of the fruits turned out
by him has never been surpassed
anywhere, but the quantity attain
able in our local markets has been
lamentably deficient. Last'year,
owing to the unprecedented mild
ness of the winter, the deciduous
fruit crop was almost total failure.
During the current year fruit
trees of the temperate zone varie-
ties have come into bearing by the
hundred thousand. The cultivation
of the different vegetables suitable
for fruit drying has also made rapid
Roadway. This year, we are salts
fled, Mr.. Davis will make decided
pecuniary success of his enterprise,
and we are entirely Of opinion that
he should be encouraged in every
way by our citizens. We hope to
live to see the day when the value
of Alden dried fruits exported from
Los Angeles county to every quar-
ter of the world will yearly amount
to many millions of dollars. Alden
dried California fruit and vegeta-
bles need but to be known to come
into universal use.

The fruit crop in Los Angeles
county this year promises to be
very abundant. Vegetables also
will abound on every hand. Mr.. G.
b. Davis, who controls the Alden
Fruit Drying Factory, across the
river, proposes to start up his works
shortly and manufacture our sur
plus fruit and vegetables, which
otherwise would go to waste, into a
valuable article of commerce. We
have given careful attention to the
products of these fruit drying es-
Establishments. Fruit and yegeta-
bles dried by this process are SO in
comparably superior to the sum
dried article that they are hardly
entitled to be mentioned together
In the same day. When the Alden
dried fruit is cooked 1t has all the
relish and perfection Of the original.
Mr.. Davis, in his Introduction Of
the Alden fruit drying process into
Los Angeles, has had a very severe
run Of bad luck hitherto. Owing to
circumstances which he could not

tory was established has been light.

WE are occasionally hugely
amused at the insolent assump-
tions of the Republicans in the
House of Representatives. The
attempt of Gen. Butler to
elect General Shields Doorkeeper
against the regular Democratic
nominee was magnificently ex.
ploded by Hester Clymer, of Penn
sylvania. In view of the fact that
a half dozen Republican quarter
masters have stolen more than all
the Democrats ever connected with
the national government put to-
gether, the attempt to make capt.
tai out of the mistakes of good
natured Democratic DoorkeepeI
are simply ridiculous. Mr.. Clymer
said:
The immediate business before
| the House is the election of a
Doorkeeper. Our experience in
| the past has not been fortunate,
and we are here to endeavor to re-
| pair past misfortunes. The gentle
man from Massachusetts would
have us elect person of his choos-
ing. 1 will join with him in doing
| all honor to man who served in
| the war, was a Senator from two
States, and who in every relation
of life has performed his duties
faithfully and we'll. Let us ask the
gentleman who has spoken about
the pension to be granted to Gen.
Shields, whether he knows that
within the last five weeks, while
the matter was pending in the
Senate Committee, his pension was
increased from $50 to $50 on the
ground of proof before that COM
mittee that Shields was not only
personally disabled, so that he
could not earn d livelihood, but
that in addition he required the
services of some one to take care
of him. Does he not know that
that was the ground on which the
pension was increased !? Now, l
say to the gentleman from Massa-
chusetts, that when that bill shall
come up L will join with him in
granting the request of General
Shields to make it one hundred
dollars, and 1 will go further. /
will, if the gentleman will join
me, vote for bill to restore him to
his place on the retired list of the
army, which will give him $1,000 a
q, I,i 1ifa I will ftrf Ia n r
and vote to pay him for the service
which he would have rendered in
that Congress from which he was
turned out, though elected by a
majority of thousands, by the Re-
publican party, headed by the gen.
tleman from Massachusetts,. APP
plause on the floor and in the gal
leries. l wish to say to the gen.
tleman that l do not propose, as
member of the majority, that he
shall dictate who shall be our Off
GERS. When, in the past history of
the gentleman, has he honored a
soldier when that soldier was o
Democrat? Did not you and those
that followed you drag Mcclellan
in disgrace and shame from the
army? Did you not cast Hancock
into exile? Where all along the
whole line of glorious men who
suffered for the Union cause have
you ever honored them if they
were Democrats? Never in all
your history; and never would you
if you did not conceive that at this
hour you could drive wedge into
the Democratic party and rend it
in pieces.
