THE ORANGE CROP
Will be hindered in its getting to market
as it was two years ago. There is
great demand at the moment for Califor-
MIA oranges to supply Eastern mar
kets made bare by the freeze
up in Florida. The growers of semi
tropic California will not be able to take
advantage of the high prices there pre-
vaiiing now, for the reason that they
cannot be. gotten there on account Of
the break In transportation facilities.
Later in the season there will be big
rush to get the fruit to market. 1t will
come in competition with stuff from
Europe and bring less money. Here is
O very serious loss, the extent of which
it would be difficult: TO estimate. The
loss to the railroad IN washouts is enor-
nous.
ANOTHER DEATH.
A Mexican from about three miles
above the city along the river came into
the city yesterday to enquire if the
body of man lost in the
flood from his home, and who
was brother Of the enquirer, had been
found. As no such discovery had yet
been made the man hastened away and
further particulars could not be CLEANED.
This is the fourth known death as the
result Of the flood.
The fourth was that OF the old man
who died on the banks of the Arroyo
Seco Tuesday morning. 1t was not
Sifford, as reported, this person
being, happily, and to his own
eminent satisfaction no doubt, still
in the land Of the living. The de-
ceased was a rag-picker. known in his
neighborhood as John. The verdict
yesterday was death by natural causes.
1t is earnestly to be wished that this
may end the list of fatalities.
THE RIVER THIS MORNING.
Between 10 and ii o'clock last night
the river rose about one foot and for
time it looked as if another overflow was
imminent, but about half-past eleven
o'clock the stream began falling and up
to midnight had been reduced some
fourteen inches. At 10 O'Clock the
water was over two feet deep on Ala.
media street, but it quickly receded. AT
this writing, o'clock A. NJ, it is evil
dent that no more damage viii be done,
and the river flows peacefully along.
The steamer Orizaba was held yester-
day at San Pedro for the Bishop Theat-
rfcal Company to catch her after the
show at the Grand. A special train
took them down.
