From Prairie Len.

EDITOR FREE PRESS The San
Marcos B. B. c., were entertained 30
handsomely and treated SO courteous
ly during their recent trip to Prairie
Lea, that they cannot refrain from
making public their gratitude to the
citizens of that place.
We arrived in Prairie Lea about II
o'clock A. NJ. last Saturday, and were
cordially received by deputation from
the Junior B. B. G., who took charge
of our horses and had them cared for.
At II NJ, We were escorted to Mr..
McKenzies residence where an ele-
CANT dinner awaited US, and where we
received the most hospitable attention
from our hosts.
After dinner we repaired to the ball
grounds and commenced the game
with the Juniors at o'clock. AT the
close of the nine innings the score
stood San Marcos 43, Juniors %, and
the former were declared the victors
by IS runs. DR.. Van Gaskin, of Lu-
ling, acted as umpire and his decisions
gave general satisfaction, and three
cheers for the umpire were given by
both mines with a hearty good will.
That night we were entertained at
the residence of Mrs. Fentress with a
handsome supper, which was greatly
enjoyed by every one. Everything was
elegantly arranged, and the supper ia
BILE was most lastly and beautifully
decorated with fragrant flowers. Here
We met many OF the fair daughters of
Caldwell county, who WED with one
another in their kind attentions to us.
After supper handsome cake was
voted to the most popular young lady,
and was won by Miss Ida Hardeman
by majority of five votes.
Next day we returned to San Mar
cos bringing with us many pleasant re-
collections of our visit, and feeling
more grateful to the ladies and gentle
men of Prairie Lea for their kind
treatment of US than we can express in
words.
During our visit we met our Old |
friend Walker Hardemau, who showed |
US every courtesy aud did everything
possible to make our visit pleasant

Installation and Festival.

The public installation and ceIebra'
ton given by the Masons on Monday
ut Coronal Institute was a very pleas
ant and successful affair Of the kind
the most SO OF any we have ever seen
at San Marcos. The crowd was c'ti-
mated ut some 200 or 800 persons. The
installations were conducted by I'D D.
l.. Green aud ID. =. Hopkins. ADJ
dresses were made by Capt. Cotheld'
D. 4. Brown, ESD, DR.. Woods and
Elder Williamson. We found it din
cult to hear from the point we occu'
pied, but the speeches were well re-
ceiyed and no doubt good. Music by
Miss Gotten and others filled the inter
walls in the proceedings. The list OF
officers installed appears in another
place. The dinner was ample and ex-
cellent. The bartecued meats were
first-rate-better decidedly than the
average of private cookery. Uncle
VIM. Pitts we learn presided over this
department, and deserves much credit
for the very satisfactory results. by
the politeness of some good lady
friends We we're favored with a place
at the first table and had share of the
best. After many pleasant social greet
ings the crowd dispersed.

IT is almost impossible TO believe it,
but nevertheless it seems to be a fact
that some people imagine Grant
could manage by some hocus pocus to
get back into the White House, if he
were to run as presidential candidate
in 1850, Very few think that he could
be honestly elected, bat they trust to
ais uncqualled audacity to repeat the
successful campaign Of fraud that has
twice, If not three times, seated pres

They Must Come Down,

Yes; come down on prices. Who
Is to be credited with the reduc-
tions that have occurred within the
last two months? Nobody else but
the great IXL Auction Company,
which is a great benefit to the poor
and r;cn alike. Since they opened
their store they have sold more dry
goods, clothing, boots and shoes
than all the other merchants to-
gether. How is 1t that they did
such on immense business? both
the public and the merchants ask.
This is the great point which all
stores are after and cannot ex-
plain. 1t is very simple one, and
still nobody can do the same. Just
see how the IXL has compelled all
the merchants to sell their goods
cheaper than they ever did before,
and still they cannot compete with
the low figures of the IXL. This
great establishment has offered
SIS 600 reward in San Francisco and
New York to anybody who could
purchase the same line of goods at
the prices for which they are SELL
ing them. No one has yet claimed
the reward nor ever will. II there

THE LANKERsHIM FLOUR MILL
The Inauguration Of Flour Manufacture on a
Large Scale in Los Angeles-A Railway
Depot Transformed into Warshous, With
Mill Attached,
Mill Attached.

Pursuant to announcer ent, the
new Lankershim flour mill was
open to visitors yesterday. The
Messrs. Lankershim & Co. have
purchased the old depot and
grounds Of the Southern Pacific
Railway, corner of Commercial
AMI Alameda streets. The frame
depot building proper they have
converted into a warehouse for the
storage of some thirty thousand
sacks OF wheat, the product of
their San Fernando ranch. At the
side and towards the rear of the
depot building, they have erected q
large and handsome mill OF brick,
filed with the latest and most ap-
proved machinery.
AS WE ENTERED
We encountered Mr.. Isaac Lanker-
SHIN, the father OF wheat growing
on q large scale In Los Angeles and
San Diego counties. He was super.
intending the sacking of the new
made flour. He at once, with great
poiitenesS, proceeded to snow us
over the building. We inspected
With lively curiosity the French
burr stones, four run of W hIch were
grinding the wheat into pearly
Hour, while one of the other four
was employed upon middlings.
These stones are massive and beau
| tifu'; AMI, covered with the white
hour, they looked like marble. We
next took a glance at the engine
room, where We inspected u marvel
of Scott s. Eckert cutoff engine,
OF one hundred aud fifty horse
power. We were led in turn over
the whole three stories. A wonder
ful c0Ggeries of wheels and cogs
regulate the holtIng process. A
great mum Der of sifters deliver the
wheat, freed from all impur ties
aud imperfect grains, to the burrs,
which do their work on the
"demnltion grind" principle.
THE CAPACITY OF THE MILL,
II worked during the whole twenty
four hours, is five hundred barrels
of flour, which can be increased to
six hundred. A twelve hour run
would, of course, be half of that.
Mr.. Lankershim Informs US that
the San Fernando valley this year
yielded only u quarter of a wheat
crop. Owing to the crust" much
of II was not cut. The thirty thous
AMI sacks in store in the old depot
building, with an ample reserve of
seed for next years crop, represents
he total yield of The Laukershim
ranch this season. However, TAX
ing one year with another. Mr..
Lankershim is quite content with
farming in Los Angeles county.
From twelve to fourteen thousand
barrels o. -four as the yield of one
tarm will do very we'll for a year OF

CAUSED 1t to "rust.n When we
consider the considerable area of

East would be regarded as an "av-
