said on Wall street that before this
connection is made arrangements
Will be com pIeted for an unbroken
line from Chicago, in a south west
erly direction, so that when the
junction with the Southern Pacific
is effected, trains can run through
direct to San Francisco. This en-
terplise will destroy the monopoly
of the existing Pacific roads and
will be OF great advantage to
shippers by forcing low rates
for freight and passage. The man
ayers of the st. Louis and Iron
Mountain and Southern road are
negotiating for consolidation with
the Texas and Pacific line, and as
this is being built by the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Managers an East
ern extension may be made by an
other line from Chicago. 1t Is
limited that Vanderbiltis arranging
to secure control Of the Union Pa
cific road at the next election, and
that this is the explanation of the
admission of Mills to the direction
of the Lake Shore and Of Wander
bilt to the Chicago aud North
Western. Mills Is large holder
of Union Pacific stock, and with
his cooperation and that Of the
Boston holders u mi ,rity in favor

Eight miles from the city. After

sometimes forest of them-or OF
lemons, lines, walnuts, almonds
aud olives. Where they were not,
the fields for hundreds Of acres on
each side, were covered with cIus.
tering vines just forming their
blossoms into grapes. The most
extensive orchards and vineyards
were those of Messrs. Rose, Titus,
Kewen aud Baldwin, whose acres
are to be counted by the thou .ands.
Beside these, the small proprietors
possess their hundreds, and the
cottagers their tens. All the trees
and vines are not yet fully grown,
but an idea may be formed
of their present productiveness
when 1t Is remem bered that last
year Southern California sent to
market two million seven hundred
thousand oranges, three hundred
and fifty thousand lemons, and one
hundred and twenty-eight thous-
aud lines, most of them coming
from Los Angeles. or the grapes,

are pressed into wine on the spot.
The culture of oranges is attracting
the greatest attention
The Southern Californian has
"oRANGE ON THE BRAIN.n
He dreams of oranges at night,
and they are his realities by day.
Will the thing be overdone? Let
us see. There is one nursery con.
tanning five hundred thousand slips
destined to be trees; there are many
more perhaps not SO large. A tree
reaches perfection in fifteen years.
In fifteen years, IL one hundred
thousand acres are planted-and
that Is an exceedingly moderate
estimate-with siXty-tour trees to
the acre, there will be six million
four hundred thousand trees. Each
tree averaging one thousand
oranges, there will be SIX thousand
four hundred million oranges. We
will suppose that in fifteen years
from this time the population of
the United States shall reach sixty
millions, and that these people are
all able to buy oranges and cannot
get them from any source but CAL
ifornia. There Will be one hundred
and six oranges aud two-thirds of
an orange for each man, woman
ami child In the country.
Mr.. Goldman fails into the gener.
al error of writing specifically of
the country, as our readers who
have perused these extracts will
have discovered-indeed IL is i'm.
possible that u man making u fly
ing visit through so wide region
should write In any other manner
than specifically about it-but
let us say this much in his favor:
He tres to do us Justice; he starts
out with no hobbies which must
be proven regardless of facts; lie
does not look through the green
goggles of prejudice and then de.
clare that all things are green.

The Lick observatory.

Captain Thomas f.. Fraser, arriv-
ell in San jose yeste' day having in
hand the matter of making the
necessary arrangements on the
summit of Mount Hamilton for the
reception of Prof. Burnham. For
the use of this scienfi fic observer a
temporary obs. rvatory has been pre-
pared in San Franci 500, which will
he conveyed in sections to Mount
Hamilton. 1t will be composed Of
wood and iron, circular, eighteen
feet high and fourteen feet in
diameter, surmounted by a revoiv-
ing dome. Here will BE- placed his
telescope which though small will
be of very powerful class. 1t will
be mounted with every improve
ment, including the clock work
telescope to describe an arc in ex-
act time with the movement of any
planet which IL Is desired to
observe. Captain Fraser will to-
day select the site for the erection
of the residence of Prof. Burnham
during his stay on the summit
which will continue until next
Autumn. The purpose Of the
Professors observation is not to
determine the IN ost suitable spot for
the location of the great observa-
