A whole Fruit District Nearly Ruined.

whole Fruit District Nearly Ruined.
The lower Sacramento river district has
been known for a score of years as one OF the
hest fruit sections in the State. The soil is a
rich alluvial, and in it fruit trees of every
kind grew rapidly and healthily and came
into bearing at an early age. The fruit was
large and more highly favored than that
brown on the same river bottoms farther
north, where the air was hotter and dryer
during the heated season. Ten years ago
there was one continuous orchard COM
menc;ng few miles below Sacramento and
continuing twenty miles to Steamboat slough.
In all this section the peach, apricot and nee
tarine did exceptionally well, and orchards
of these fruits paid their owners handsome
profit. The lands on which these orchards
grew were thus enhanced in value and bore
high prices. Prosperity was the universal
rule Of those who possessed orchards in this
section The gradual filing up of the river
with sand and mud, and the consequent near
ing of the water line to the surface, has as
gradually been injuring the trees in these
orchards and reducing the quantity and de-
stroying the quality of the fruit. The conse-
quence is that but few trees have been put out
of late years, and the old orchards of peaches
and other stone-fruits are gradually but
surely going to decay. On the American river
bottom also, just above the city, there was
but a few years ago large number of valu-
able fruit orchards, paying their owners hun
dreds of thousands of dollars year, and
bringing business and prosperity to the city.
To-day the soil in which these orchards were
planted. in some instances, is buried by sand
deeper than was the hight of the trees that
grew out of it, and the whole section is in a
condition of ruin. Thus, while we have
scarcely realized it, the ruin and destruction
of one of the most profitable of former in
dustries is almost completed

Paper blankets possess great advantage
over WOODEN and cotton bed-coverings for
use in hospitals or in regions where yellow
fever or other virulent epidemcs may be
raging. The only safe way to get rid of
infected cotton or wooden bed clothes,
which, if not destroyed, may be the means
OF spreading certain diseases to terrible
extent, is to burn them-neither an easy
nor an agreeable thing to do. But, in the
case of paper blankets, it is only necessary
to dip them in water and expose them TO
the flow of hydrant for few minutes,
and the desired disintegration is effected.
