That Ministerial Ranch.

EDS. RECORD UNION: VIII you allow NE
to correct a statement in your issue of
Wednesday, February %, 1885? On my
return from San Francisco to-day my eye
fell upon the following item:
Rev Dr. Frost, of this city, purchased last
week of Matthews Il SayreS, Il short distance
south of Concord. in Contra Costa county, 100
acres of land. for which he paid s., 500 in cash.

studded with beads innumerable. There is
also collection of war clubs, including
one with which a missionary was killed, a
wooden bowl in which pieces of the flesh
were served to the King, and wig manu-
featured of the hair of the indi-
vidual who killed the missionary.
There are also interesting speci
mems of native cloth, made of bark.

customary among the islanders, which was
to insert their arrows in purifying body,
the result being blood poisoning when the

Fruit for New Orleans.

W. II. Aiken, Esq, member of the State
Board of Horticulture and one of the Com
missioners to the Worlds Fair at New Or
leans, was in the city yesterday, and left in
the afternoon for the northern part of the
State, for the purpose of obtaining fruit TO
ship to New Orleans for exhibition. 1t has
been found that the California apples ON
exhibition at the Worlds Fair retain their
freshness and quality To a degree far ex-
ceeding any from the Northern, Eastern or
Southern States displayed in the same
hall and this fact has already attracted
great attention and most favorable COM
ment, not only among the visitors at the
Exposition, but by the press and parties
directly interested in fruit, both us pro-
ducers and importing dealers. The result.
if due advantage be taken of these superior
qualities thus demonstrated, will be greatly
to the profit of California, and this fact has
led to the determination on the part of our
authorities conducting the California ex-
hibit, to properly display good supply of
our apples during the remainder of the
Exposition.
Mr.. Aiken will visit Shasta and Siskiyou
counties to obtain a supply of the best
apples to be found in that region quality
being the desirable feature of which he is
in quest. Upon returning from that sec
ton he will visit Placer and FL Dorado
counties, where some of our best winter
apples are grown. The railroad company
forwards all the fruit free, audit IS intended
10 keep fresh samples in good quantity ON
the California tables of the Exposition
during the spring and until the close of
the fair. which will not be until about
June.
Mr.. Aiken will attend specially TO the
work of collecting and forwarding the sup
ply from the best to be found, and later in
The season he will obtain from the earliest
producing sections samples of our carly
apples, and have them on exhibition at
the same tables that those from the colder
mountain regions are. of last year 5
growth. thus demonstrating in most I'M
preSsive manner that our fruit season, even
| Tor apples. is perpetual, as well as that the
| quality for enduring transportation and
keeping is also superior TO all competitors.
