California Fruit Trees.

We copy from Colman's Rural World the fol
lowing account of the great fruit resources of Cal
iforna:
The fruit and vegetable growers of California
have the present season harvest unparalleled in
the history of the country. The Pacific coast is
already dotted with canning establishments which
have been sprlnglng up to meet the wants OF the
trade-so that the raw fruit, through the aid of
the canning industry is now going to the four
quarters Of the globe. California fruits and vege
tables have already found their way into all the
leading markets of the United States, and monop-
olize all the trade of Idaho, Montana, Dakota,
Utah, and Colorado Indeed the products of
California are of such fine, rich, luscious charac
ter, that they have secured permanent foothold
at the sea board cities of the Atlantic States. in
the face OF the strong competition and low prices
of the eastern packers, and only the excessively
high tariff between the far west and the east,
saves the eastern packers from disaster. In tins
connection the San Francisco Chronicle tells us
of one fruit grower who netted $4,000 from eleven
acres OF fruit. consisting of aprcots, cherries and
peaches. To such an extent has the canning in
dustry grown in San Francisco, that great mum
Der OF firms are established agents and distrb-
utors of the goods. The present season large
quantities have been shipped to Europe-London
and Liverpool consuming considerable shipments.
The canning establishments freely asparagus,
peas, beans, corn, tomatoes cherries. strawb ber-
res, currants. peaches, plums pears, gooseberrles
and all sorts of jams and jeles. The immense
profit arising from the present season, is of course
owing to the general failure of the peach crop and
shortage of other products consumed by the can
ming houses and such figures can form no safe
basis for future operations on the Pacific slope.
The impression prevails there now that last winters
great freeze, followed by the severest drouth
known to fruit growers, have thoroughly wrecked
the orchards, and that for at least three years
more, opportunities almost equal to those of the
past season will exist and they are therefore pre-
nf fho fI1tu nc
rosy picture, however, is delusion and time will
show that the peach crop of 1882 will be above
the average. Many of the orchards, instead of be-
ing ruined and rendered worthless, have had sea
of rest-have recuperated-and will produce
fine crop the coming season

Gambling on the Cars.

The New York Central Railroad Company says
the Syracuse Standard has at last arrived at the
conclusion that it is to q large degree accountable
for the robberies and swindles perpetrated on its
passenger trains BY the 'tinerant rogues who pass
over its rails daily. Maj Priest. superintendent
of the eastern DIVISION has posted notice to con
ductors and brakemen at the Central depot in this
city ordering them to stop all gambling devices
under penalty OF dismissal The buletned order
holds the officers Of the trains to account for rob
berries which may hereafter occur, the ground be
ing taken that most of the confidence meu and
gamblers well known TO The conductors and
brakemen. 1t has been hnted that, IN some cases
there is coluslon between the offenders and the
train hands which only increases the danger to
passengers. The operators now travel as CONNER
cial men, carrying what appears to be sample
cases but really receptacles for ,heir disguises
and implements Of torture. These sharks lounge
about the cars. making the acquaintance of the
greenhorns who have Deen spotted as poultry to
be plucked Every few days the report is made
that a passenger has been mulcted to the tune of
a hundred or two by three card monte men or
some other species oi the light fingered gentry,

Don't Take it to Heart.

There's many trouble
Would burst like bubble
And into the waters of Lethe depart,
Did we not rehearse it,
And tenderly nurse it,
And give it permanent place in the heart.
There's many sorrow
Would vanish tomorrow
Were we not unwilling TO furnish the wings,
So, sadly intruding
And quietly brooding,
1t matches out all sort of horrible things.
How welcome the seeming
OF looks that are beaming,
Whether ones wealthy or whether ones poor
Eyes bright as a berry,
Cheeks red as cherry
The groan and the curse and the heartache car

Resolve to be merry,
All weary to ferry
Across the famed waters that bid US forget;
And no longer fearful,
But happy and cheerful,
We feel life has much worth living for yet

The injury or check to the growth of

robOrative case on a Virginia farm is re-
ported as follows Where the leaves are
all left on row OF corn, the weight of
the corn was l6l pounds, while on a
stripped row it was only eighty eight
pounds. In other similar instances the
difference was less, vet distinct and strik-

to pruning fruit trees in Summer, which
should be omitted or sparingly performed
except where the trees are sufficiently
vigorous to bear some check.

Buck Barker.

This gentleman will leave in a few days
for Odessa, Mo-, his old home, and probably
will bid goodbye to Montana forever and
aye. As was stated last week, he has sold
out all his interests in tbs Barker District,
receiving for the same the handsome sum Of
$13,0 600, cash in hand. AS is well known,
Buck was the first discoverer in the now
prosperous and promising camp that bears
his name. It was with much reluctance that
he disposed of his interests there, as he has
been closely identified with the camp since
the first strike was made. He has always
had an abundance of faith. in the future
greatness of Barker, and even in its darkest
o*.s never grew discouraged. But for the
fact that important duties call him home, he
would not have thought Of selling out. Buck
is an old timer in Montana, and has been a
resident of Benton for many years, where
has, perhaps, as many friends as any man in
the Territory. He will take with him to sold
Missouri the well wishes of all. We are not
authorized to make the statement, but the
RIVER PRESS is Of the. opinion that it will not
be very long until Buck will lead his old
flame to the altar, and settle down to enjoy
the fruits of double blessedness.

The Biggest Yege

The keystone lead at Barker is the one
that is now creating the most excitement,
and justly too. It is owned by Messrs.
O'Brien, Meeks, Valley and Neihart and
these gentlemen are worked up to believe it
is q yeritable bonanza. An assay recently
obtained from the ore shows 3d. f730 of silver
to the ton. The lead is six feet wide, well
defined, and they claim there is two feet of
ore similar to that from which the above as
say was made. Prof. Foss, of the Mining
and Smelling Company, announced after he
had made the assay that he would give $3.50
a pound for all the ore of that character they
would bring him. The mine is four miles
from the smelter, but undismayed by dis
lance or the r%oughness Of the road, Joe
Meeks at once started for the lead and on
last Friday he arrived at Gold Run with 5000
worth Of ssrock'' on his back for which he
received the %spondulix according to contract.
AS q man can make two or three hundred
dollars a week carrying the ore on his back,
the possibilities Of the mine when worked on
a more extensive scale can be readily con-
ceived. # this high grade ore holds out for
any length Of time the boys have certainly
struck it rich. It is like finding Fortunatus'
purse.
