Progress of Fruit Growing and
Canning,

As an illustration of the growth of the fruit
business In this section OF the State, single
orchsrdist in Pasadena, where but few
years ago there was no fruit but grasshop-
pers and alflerilla, this fall put up $4,000
cans OF peaches, and that is but a fraction
Of the fruit crop of Pasadena.
At Cotton the change is equally remarka-
BILE. II is but few years since all the coun-
try round about that place was q squirrel
pasture, and yet the Cotton cannery this fall
has put up 10000 cans OF frult, mainly
peaches with some apricots, nectarines
pears, grapes and tomatoes, besides packing
and shipping forty carloads of honey. Los
Angeles hasput up about 6O0. OO0cans of fruit
during the present season.
II is to be hoped that the canning OF sweet
corn will be prosecuted in this part of the
State wit. great energy in 1885. Los Angeles
and San Bernardino counties can supply the
continent with this valuable food, besides
canning the fruits that may be offered
Canned sweet corn from Maine Is In our
market continually, when our facilities for
producing that product is far superior to
that of the Pine Tree State.
A few short months ago, canned peaches
from Baltimore were abundant In our mar
ket, while now California prepares enough
canned peaches for the whole Pacific Coast
These facts are cheerful signs of the times,
and show the great progress of the fruit bust
ness IN the Golden State.

Doctor is n Frenehman by birth, and an
Hmiable old gentleman. Although over
threescore years, he appears hale and hearty,
He comes mere to recuperate, the extreme
cold of last winter in the northwest where
he was practicing medicine, having in some
manner impaired his health. This success
full practitioner comes here heralded by an
enviable reputation, both AS a surgeon and n
physician. The position of Professor OF Mid
wifery that he has occupied with dstinction,
together with his perfect knowledge of that
branch of medicine, rs well rs the treatment
of the diseases of women and children, has
always given him great popularity among
the fair sex.
The Doctor intends TO spend the winter
among us. We sincerely hope that before
long he win be convinced that there is no
place like Los Angeles and will in the near
future decide to make this city his definite
home.

We call the attention OF architects. build
crs and persons contemplating building to
the advertisement of II. r. Spence, practical
plumber, No. a South Spring street.
Headquarters for spelce's nonsyphoning
wish to make few remarks. II Is
most generally known amongst practical
men that to keep sewer gas out OF a building
we must first see that there is no pressure.
This is done by vcntilating to soil pipe,
carrying IL to and above the roof. Now the
only thing we have to contend with Is the
syphoning OF the smaller traps. A great
many devices have been used to accomplish
this; many traps have been gotten up and
patented, yet their adoption and general use
has been and is greatly impaired by their
being complicated in structure, containing
balls and valves, which is a most serious
objection, not only in the cost of manu-
iacturc but what is more important. They
get easily out of order and the balls or
valves collect all filth, hair, string, etc.
Then they are ineffective and offensive in
themselves. You must all admit that a
trap of simple construction, free from all
mechanical distractions and still retaining
the shape of the s or T trap, which is
absolutely impossible to syphon under the
most strenuous circumstances comes nearer
the point, and as its superiority becomes
known will undoubtedly be the universal
trap OF the commercial world. The princip-
al of the trap is simple, the action of the
air In the water, which 1t reaches certain
point In the trap breaking the suction thus
rendering syphoning impossible: 1t is
meeting with great favor and is adopted at
once by all who see 1t, aud great many are
being used already in this city. Mr.. Spence
Is pleasant and congenial fellow and
would say that he is always ready to show
the merits of his trap to anyone interested
aud as he has working model in glass at
his place of business, can make II very in
teresting for all who wish to call and see 1t.
We append one OF many testimonials in re
gard to the value OF the trap and its work
