An important meeting Of wine-growers
will be held on Saturday at the Farmers
and M erchants' Bank building 10 decide
ON what course 10 pursue In view Of the
arbitrary assessments levied on the DIS
tillcrs Of grape brandy. II seems that
the assessment on distilIers ON what they
might have distilled but did not, has
aroused the grape-growers and distillers
10 pitch Of Indignation that Is Intense
and enduring. The brandy makers Ia
the central part of the State do not seem
to be assessed as they are here and will
90 on paying from $50 to $50 per ton for
grapes and make wine and brandy with
nohe TO modest or make them afraid,
while the wine.makers Of Los Angeles,
with liability to seizure. are consideriug
the propriety Of shutting OIL distillinR
and making only wine. In that case
they cannot pay over $40 to SIC
for grapes for wine making only.
and viii have to buy their brandy
for fertilization OF sweet wines. This
condition OF things will entail loss on
the grape.growcrs OF this county alone
of 100000. These figures are startling
and excite profound attention.
Then there 10 another feature Of the
case that the special agents Of the gov
ernment do not consider. Suppose all
the brandy distillers shut down their
distilleries, the government will lose
$500, 900 in revenue in this county.
Perhaps this little feature in the business
has escaped the observation Of the
special agents. All these things will
have to be considered on Saturday, and
all the grape-growers should be in at.
tendance.

Some person of knowledge bereft has
been writing to the newspapers on the
subject of artesian wells, and has made
the discovery hat these wells should not
be at a height of over 300 feet above sea
level. Such person evidently never
read the newspapers, and never travelled
in California. Thegreat wells in the San
joaquin valley are generally about 800
feet above sea level. The great flowing
wells on the Mojave desert are 1850 feet
aboSe the sea. The fourteen flowing
wells at San Fernando are 1910 feet
above the sea. The copious flo wing wells
of Messrs. Rose and Baldwin in San
Gabri Ell are about 900 feet above tide
water The forty wells in and around
Pomona are 1000 feet above the ocean.
The great wells at Cotton are about 100
feet above the Pacific, and the San Der.
nardino and Gage wells are over 1000
feet elevation. The sixty-fonr flowing
wells at San Jacinto are 1900 feet above
the sea. Others can be enumerated, if
necessary, to show that height has nothing
to do with the phenomenon, but every
thing depends upon the geologic forma.

From the commencement OF the sea-
son the Long Beach Hotel has been filed
with a party Of our richest people and
it Is safe to say that few summer visitors
at seaside resorts have enjoyed them
selves more thoroughly than the Long
Beach contingent. The time, however,
drew near for the breaking up Of the de-
lghtful circle, and Misses Ynez Shorb and
Mamie Wilson were among the first to
announce their speedy departure. Count
Won Schmidt and other guests Of the
hotel were determined that all due honor
should be paid to the departure Of these
twoyoung ladies', who contributed so much
toward the enjoyment of the season, and
accordingly issued invitations for q fare
well party for last Monday evening.
Fred Dohs orchestra was secured, the
dining room cleared ont and the floor
waxed. and one of the SWEETEST little
dances ever given in Los Angeles county
took place. The ladies all looked charm
ing, and the sea breeze tempered the at
nosphere enough to make dancing agree.
able Messrs. Cowley and Mitchell, of
the hotel did all in their power to further
the enjoyment of their guests. The
evening was one Of thorough pleasure.

The Los Angeles pear crop of the
present season beng very light, dealers
are importing a supply from up the
country. The Fruit Pest Commissioners
have had their minds awakened to the
fact that this fruit is covered with the
San Jose scale, and they propose to stop
its arrival into this county. They will
a. once institute rigid watch over the
trains, open and inspect all parcels of
fruit arriving here, and where the scale
is found the fruit must be destroy ed {.
The San Jose scale is worse than any
of the pests so far propagated in this
section, and the commissioners propose
to stop its spread in this vicinity.
