The Los Angeles Express published the
following valuable statement regarding last
season shipment Of oranges to the East
Through the kindness Of Colonel J. R.
Dobbins and George r. Rice, of the Orange
Growers Protective Union, the Express IS
able TO give in advance Of the publication
of their report some facts of interest to cur
orange growers. The number of cars
shipped East by the Union this season
were 89l; shipped by others, 747 total
number of cars shipped East, 1888. The
returns Of Sacramento shipments are
not in yet, but they will swell the grand
total considerably. Last season only thirty
two Eastern points were reached by ship
pers; this season the Union alone shipped
to seyenty-one different places. Of the
thirty-two points of last year the bulk went
to four places, Chicago, Kansas City, Min
neapolis and Omaha. The Unions ship
ments this season are distributed as fol-
lows Chicago 235 cars Kansas City, %

ma The above shows that the Union more
than paid for itself in the wide distribu-
ton il gave to our fruit. Satisfaction with
its workings is expressed by all and gen
eral desire is felt to keep up the organiza-
ton permanently. The net returns, that
is net on the trees, to the growers for the
past crop, was little over $4,000, which,
in proportion to the number of boxes
shipped, is the highest amount received for
wears.

Santa Barbara Mission Centennial.

The Mission of Santa Barbara was
founded September 3, 11S6. The above
scrap of history is cleaned from the sketch
of Santa Barbara written ten years ago by
Judge C. E. Huse, and is presumed to refer
to the commencement of Mission Church
services at the Preside here, before the
Mission building was erected. In the his
torical sketch of California Missions, pub
lished in the San Francisco Chronicle Au-
gust %, 1884, on the occasion of the CEN
tenary celebration in honor of the memory
of Father Junipero, December 4,-17S6, is
given as the time of the founding of the
Santa Barbara Mission. "a disagreement
with the secular authorities having been
settled" said the Chronicle, President
Lasuen went down to the Preside at the
end Of October with two of the newly
arrived friars and superintendent active
preparations for the new Mission, which
was to be formally dedicated on the 18th
of December. On that day the cross
was raised and blessed, and that
day, the festival of Santa Barbara, Virgin
and Martyr, is regarded as the day of the
missions regular foundation, though the
ceremonies were not completed Oh account
of the Governors absence and his order to
suspend operations until his arrival. On
the 18th the first mass was said by Father
Peterna, a sermon was preached by Las
zen and then the foundation was COM
pleted. Whichever of these dates is cor
rect, the Santa Barbara mission will soon
celebrate its centennial. Santa Barbara the
