The provisions of the Franco Chinese
treaty, submitted to the French Chamber of
Deputies, appear to be very favorable to
France, conceding the French demands and
granting commercial privileges to France
which cannot fail to benefit both countries.

AUTHORIZATIONS.

By the politeness OF United States
Consul Meyer J. Newmark, of Los An
geles, stationed at Lyons, France. the
HERALD is furnished with the following
list of articles, and the value Of the
same, imported into the United States
from that port for eleven months Of
1885:
Merchandise-Raw silks, organzines
silk, silk aud velvet piece goods, silk
and velvet ribbons, grapes, laces, gauzes.
etc., shawls, silk trimmings, metallic
trimmings and church ornaments, silk
and cotton gloves, wooden goods. cotton
goods, leather and skins, 1ye siufis,
manufactures OF iron, etc, wines and
iiqueurs, musical instruments, argols,
pierced cocoons, macnroni. etc, speets-
cles, eye glasses, etc, weaving materi-
ais, precious stones, rabbit hair, watch
materials, wooden pipes. waste silk
combed, spun silk and dyed silk, pre-
served fruits, miscellaneous.
Total value of property, 81, 1893. 29s. SO.
1t will be seen that nearly all the arti-
cles enumerated can be produced in Los
Angeles county. The idea of importing
preserved fruits" of the value of s20,-
900 when all such importations can lie
produced in this part Of the country, is
foolish. On par with that is the i'm
portation OF ''woolen goods, cotton
goods, leather and skins, wines aud
lIqueurs, argols, macaroni, rabbit hair
aud wooden pipes, all of which eau be
produced in California in abundance for
the use Of the whole nation. The
readers Of the HERALD will please notice
this list and govern themselves accord
ingly. There is 40 need of importing
any Of this inventory of articles. All
can be produced in California in abund.
ance, and this important leak in our
resources stopped.

The week before last MIR. John Wilson
hired q man to work on his place out on
San Pedro street. The fellow gave the
name of Joseph Grass. He worked
few days and then said he wished to
leave the place. He was accordingly
paid off. This was on Wednesday Of
last week. Thursday afternoon Mrs.
Wilson came to the city to make few
purchases for Christmas day and there
was no one left behind in the house. In
the house was an iron box weighing, say,
ITS pounds and in the box was $50,
which had been paid 10 Mr.. Wilson a
day or two before, part for rents and
part for his grape crop, sold last vintage.
Something over $500 more was coming
in in few days, and when this further
sum was collected Mr.. Wilson Intended
to pay his taxes. interest, g O., and
square up for the year. On her return
Mrs. Wilson found the front door open,
but did not think much of it. Friday
Mrs. Wilson had received some more
money which she wished to place with
the rest and ON going to get at the box
she found il gone. There seems little
doubt that Gross knew OF the treasure,
heard Mrs. Wilson plan to come to the
city and pretended to go away, but lay
around and stole the box while she was
in town. He could not carry it fer, and
il Is no doubt hidden somewhere in the
peiehborhood Gross is young fellow
about 81 years old. 1t is quite probable
that he will turn up here again in the
hands Of the officers.

goods so great they were compelled to
enlarge their facilities for manufacturing
and have fitted up neat office and
salesroom at No. 2l3 8. Spring street,
where they are prepared to supply the
trade and all others with their wonder
full articles. The California Golden Age
Hair Reproducer has been in use in Los
Angeles for some time, and has always
given the best of satisfaction. It is diff
ferent from all other hair preparations
as it is absolutely free from oils and
poisons, containing no sugar of lead,
sulphur or nitrate OF silver, but is pre-
pared Of roots and herbs. Mr.. Brown,
the discoverer of this wonderful prepara-
ton, takes great care in putting up the
same and none is genuine without his
signature. The proprietors have on file
many letters from leading citizens Of
Los Angeles and elsewhere commencing
its use. In many cases Of badness a
q new growth of hair has been the re-
suit of the use of the Golden Age, and
where the hair falls out it ceases by its
use. The Sea Foam, for shampooing.
has met with favor and is spoken of in

given it trial Both OF these articles

Northern California oranges.

The Sacramento Bee, in its annual ,

prove, not only that oranges will grow
in the northern part of the State, but
that they will grow better there than in
the south. Some one once WI ote his
tory of Iceland, and II contained chap.
ter on snakes. Under this heading the
sole data on the subject was; There
are no snakes in Iceland" If the Bee
had followed this truthful aud short aud
easy method with its subject II had been
commendable; but it spends two col
umns, as stated, in the effort to prove
that the golden fruit ought to grow in
that part of California. The fact that
Il does not grow there is probably $50
much the worse for tho facts, as great
logician said on n certain memorable
occasion, as viewed from the standpoint
Of the Bee. The outside world had
better realize, however, that such is the
fact. With a few meagre exceptions
that only prove the rule. no oranges

The Union starts off under very fiatteripg

to be unity Of action extremely graft
fying. Mr. James Bettner OF Riverside,
and DIR. o. z. Chubb were chosen as
fruit agents for the Union in the East,
and both gentlemen started East on their
mission yesterday. Several samples of
oranges were brought before the Direct
ors to get an expression as to the policy
of their shipment. Upon inquiry II was
found that the unripe citrus fruits al.
reauy shipped to San Francisco had
materially injured the reputation of this
years crop, and the Directors were
unit in urging growers not to force their
fruits on the market before they were
fit for use with a view to get fancy
prices. The outlook for successful
market for this years crop OF citrus
fruits is very pleasing, and it is hoped
growers will cooperate with the Union
in the handling Of their fruits, for in
this they are only protecting their own

In the HERALD Of Sunday morning
the business Of this city as a railroad
center was given. The Sacramento Bee
is ut hand with the business Of each
shipping point Of Importance in the
State. In this it appears that Los An
Qeles stands second, San Francisco alone
being in the lead of her. The total
shipments Of through freight from the
several points for the year ending octo-
Der 81, 1885. in pounds, were as follows:
San Francisco, 1874 .4s5. $40; Oakland,
1895, 800; Sacramento. s5,7l4, 800; San
Jose, I602S, $40; Stockton, 2, ,2s6, 4lO;
Marysville, 2.20s,270 Los Angeles, A. :
Oea, 1870.
In local business Sacramento leads us
little, but Los Angeles is rapidly gain
ing on her. For the year ending Octo.
ber 81, 1884, the figures were in local
business, IN pounds: San Francisco,
347, $3.50, $50; Oakland, l6, 46S, $50; Sac
ramento, 1857, ,077, 100; San Jose, %, 1885,
Y $40; Stockton, S6,075, $50; Marysville,
A4, 600, 400; Los Angeles. 80, l09, $50.
For the year ending October 81, 1885, the
figures are: San Francisco, 36l 445. $50;
Oakland, l3, 800, 800; Sacramento. l4T,-
77O,l7O; San Jose, 80, 1872, 10; Stockton,
Ss, Jos, $40; Marysville, "A, 795, $40; Los
Angeles, i0l, 2l2, $50 From this COM
parison IL will appear that while the
grand total for 1884 was 100. 266, 020
pounds, and for 1885, S23, 1859, 100
pounds, very material increase shared
by every point except Sacramento. that
city fell off in local trade to the extent
of nearly 20,000,000 pounds, or about
IL per cent. Los Angeles, on the con
trary, increased by II 10000 or at the
rate Of over IL per cent. The current
year will certainly see this city shoot
ahead of every point in the State except
ing San Francisco In the matter OF rail
road business.
The city of the burning valley and
malaria does not publish the inward
freight movement, or that received at
its depot. By the legal rule Of evidence il
against her. The receipts at the depot
in this city aggregate $50, 900, 600
pounds for ten months.
IN many OF tne staipio prouuchuha
OF the soil the way Los Angeles
looms mp above Sacramento is very re-
markabie. For instance, Los Angeles
shipped 7,767,76O pounds of barley.
Sacramento shipped 2,l2l, $50. Los An
geles forwarded 1907, 90 pounds OF
wheat; Sacramento none. Los Angeles
beats her nearly two to enc on brandy.
Los Angeles is ahead of her in green
fruit and next year will run away ahead.
In lumber Los Angeles shows 62. 600, 900
pounds and Sacramento 6,759. 400.
In raisins of course Los Angeles is 100
per cent in advance Of her northern
rival. In wine of course the odds in the
south city's favor is 400 per cent. ln
wool she hardly falls behind. At the
rapid rate of development in Los Ange-
les the end of another year is sure to
put her in the very front rank of all
cities on the coast, San Francisco alone
excepted, in this matter of railroad
