AS showing what O man can do
with q young orange grove, Dave
Waldron, the first year they came
into bearing, made $500 off his
trees, he netted $1,000 last year and
expects to clear over $4,000 the
coming season. Every year will
increase his income almost in an
aritbmetical ratio for some time to
come, If he has ordinary good luck.
Moses M. Drew, the newly ap-
pointed United States Marshal for
California, has resppointed J. d.
Dunlap Deputy for the Southern
district. We congratulate our
friend Doc on his reappointment,
and Mr.. Drew on having secured
a. his representative here one OF
the best posted and most efficient
men in that line of business to be
found In this section.
At the meeting of the City Board
of Education last evening, Mr.. M.
A. Madegan was elected School
Census Marshal, q position which
he has filed most acceptably for q
number of years past. So thorough
have been the several canvasses
Of Don Miguel that he can call al
most every child of school age
within the city limits by its given
name. It is an appointment most
fit to have been made.
The case OF the People vs. Sam
Prayer, for violating the Sunday
law, set for trial in City Justice
Adams's Court yesterday. was
postponed until Friday on certifi-
cate and affidavit of DIR. Kurty that
the defendant was sick and unable |
to attend. The venire of sixty
Jurors, fifty eight Of whom were
present, were discharged until that |
day. The case Of the People vs. r. |
Eckert, same offence, was set for
trial April 10th.
Lieut.. r. G. Chest and Ronald
Mcdonald. Esq, Of the Australian
steamer Zelandia, who have been
paying our city a brief visit, re.
turned yesterday to San Francisco,
very much pleased with Los Ange-
les city and county. During their
stay here they were driven through
the San Gabriel valley and to the
Sierra Madre Villa by DR.. Simms.
Lieut.. Chest was particularly
struck with the straight growth OF
the Blue Gum (Eucalyptus) in this
section, as, in Australia, it
is ordinarily very crooked,
gnarled tree. Mr. Mcdonald will
probably return with his family
and take up his permanent resi-.
dence in this county.
1t il fact that ought to be
known that business over the
Southern Pacific Railway is in
creasiDg at an unhesrd Of rate.
The receipts from passengers at
Los Angeles during the month of
March footed up $1,000 mers than
for any other month since the road
entered the bounds of this county.
A. to the freight department. it's
business has increased within q
small fraction of three hundred
per cent. during the past year.
That 10 to say. on the authority of
Auditor Smurr, the business has
nearly trebled within a twelve
month. A whole volume could
not tell the story Of our develop
ment more perfectly than does
this simple fact. Every day Mr..
Emurr Is applied to to ok rates of
freight to points to which Los An
gelss products never went before.
We are thus confronted by the
pleasant facts that not only will
our crops be uDprecsdentedly
large this year, but that the de.
mand for them will be correspond
ingly great, and that our people
may confidently look forward to
an ever expanding market.
Messrs. Charles s. Wood and
John Osborne, who have thus far
provided the best class OF amuse-
ments Los Angeles has known,
have made an arrangement with
the Kennedy G. Cotton Comedy
Company tor visit this city some
