''The San Bernardino Inder claims
the first carload Of oranges left for the
East last week via the G. 3. r. Il. OF
course we don't care q pin about the
matter, but just to have the public set
right in regard to the matter, will say
to the Inder that the first carload of
Riverside oranges of this seasons crop
were shipped last Friday and left Cotton
on the =. p, track and in one OF their
oars. The first load of Arlington or.
angss went through Cotton and San Ber-
nardino on the c. s. r. R.. and there is
where the Inder switched off on the
wrong track. It's all right, neighbor;
no harm done; and now the reading pub
lie will rest easy in possession OF the
facts"
II is amusing to hear such claims from
these little towns. Los Angeles ships
oranges all the year, and in October and
November sent forward oranges that
ripened in the fall Of 1886. Tho orange
shipments of Los Angeles are perpetual.

California raisins exhibited at Chicago
than to have Fresno profit by the ex.

and sticks. many OF .the leaves and
sticks being in d petrified condition.
The prints of thu forms of the fishes
were distinctly marked between ssthe
layers of rock and all the bones were
in good statss of preservation. !. One
fish measured two feet in length, and
from the connection Of the backbone
he was led to believe that it had been 3
codflsh or a haddock, but in all proba.

These bones were taken out and it was
hisSintention to preserve them, but on
being exposed ito 10 the air all except
the back bones were crumbled into dust.
He found many Of these fishes which
rnpged from four inches to two feet in
