THE FRUIT UNION.
Its Value to the Fruit Growers of the
State-Its Support Urged.

Sfate-lts support Urged.
| EDS. RECORD UNION: The Trustees of the
California Fruit Union meet at Sacramento
on Tuesday, the 10Th instant As one of
the fruit growers of the State feel deep
interest in the success of the Union, and
sincerely hope that some means may be
found to induce the growers to subscribe
more generally to the stock, though why
they should still hesitate | cannot under
stand.
The movement from its very inception
has been in the interest of the fruit-grower
exclusively For years in the disposal of
their fruit they have been subject to condi-
tons wholly different from those which
govern any other business in the world.
They have fully realized this, bur, from
lack of organization, have been helpless to
do anything to better their condition. Year
after year they have complained and pro-
tested, but still suffered. Then they found
their only hope was in organization, and,
led by some of the best minds in the State
and urged by the press, they met at San
Francisco and organized the State Union.
Almost every fruit-grower in the State
recognized the necessity for such an organ
iZatioD, and although there were differ
ences of opinion as to its management and
pul pOStS, YET tlSN gave up their
opinions and in the end were united in the
State Union; and although / believe it
would have been better had the fruit of
of every grower been placed in the hands of
the Union and all subjected equally to the
same conditions to avoid competition in
their own fruits, and to give the Union
more strength and consequently make it
more useful; yet, as it was thought best
not TO do so, 1t none the less needs the sup
port of every fruit-grower, and il cannot be
a great success without it.
| would, therefore, urge all who have
not done SO 10 subscribe at once to stock in
the Union. Do not think because por-
ton have subscribed that that is all that is
required; it needs you all if you wish to
avail yourselves of cheaper transportation
and consequently better prices for your
fruit. Now is your opportunity For years
you have wished for this very thing and
now 1t is within your reach. If you reject
1t you place yourselves in the same posi-
tons in which you suffered a year ago,
ana as you suffered in the past you may
suffer still more in the future.
If there is any class in the wide world
that requires fair remuneration for their
labor 1t is the fruit-grower. They toll for
years and live on faith. They fight pests
without number to save their fruit, and
when it is at last ready for market it is !
subject to such conditions as to make their |
profits exceedingly small. There is a |
remedy for this, SO far as a market is con- |
cerned, in the Union. The managers are |
men of ability and integrity They are !
growers, like ourselves, and with a COM |
mon interest. Let us trust the.n for a
year at least and give them a cordial sup
port. Let US make the Union a great sue |
cess. Success means cheaper transporta- |
ton, good market for our fruit and good
prices. il.

Visitation of Grand Officers.


Walhalla Grove No. 6, United Ancient
Order of Druids OF this city, received
an official visit last evening from the fol-
lowing named Grand officers, residents of
San Francisco: Louis F. Dunand, Noble
Grand Arch; II. Il. NJ orion, Deputy Noble
Grand Arch ]. J. Donnelly, Grand Repre-
sentative. Pioneer Hall, their place of
meeting, was well filled with members,
who were instructed by the Grand officers
in the secret work of the Order. Walha la
Grove is one of the Oldest Groves in the
State, has large membership a large
amount of cash in its treasury, and is noted
for the admirable manner in which
ii cares for the sick, lends succor
to the distressed and dispenses that
charity and benevolence which is the
foundation OF Druidism. Its officers are
| mostly young men, " no take great pride in
their duties. and among its members are
enrolled the names of many of the best cti-
zens in the community. After the exercises
| at the hail were over, the members, the
Grand officers, and q few invited guests re-
paired to Fishers restaurant, where all
were seated around the banquet table upon
which was spread fine collation.. Turkey
chicken, wine and CONNECTIONS were served
without stint, and more pleasurable time
is seldom enjoyed than that W hich ensued
After all had partaken freely of the good
! things spread before them Judge w. A.
Henry, ex-Noble Grand Arch. welcomed
the Grand officers to Sacramento
in one of his happy and charac-
teristic speeches. Louis +. Dunand
Noble Grand Arch, responded to the re-
marks of Judge Henry. and in his reply
to some of the sallies of wit of the latter
created much merriment. He said that
the number of Groves in the State to-day is
| %, with a membership of %, S37-an in
crease of nearly l 600 during the past year
He paid high tribute to the press of the
State. claiming that much of the success of
| the Order was due 10 the fact that Druidism
had been SO well presented to the people
| through that medium. He said a business
man who does not advertise will never
| prosper, and fraternal organization that
! ignores the press will make but little pro-
greSs. He said the Grand Grove will con-
vene in San Francisco on the first Tuesday
in June. On Thursday evening next the
Grand officers, accompanied by the
members of Walhdlla Grove, would pay a
! fraternal visit to Fidelity Grove. Dir. II.
| K. Norton Deputy Grand Arch, made a
short address, reviewing the present pros
| porous condition of the Order, and paid q
high and deserved compliment to Walhalla
Grove. J. J. Donnelly, Grand Represent
alive, also spoke briefly upon the aims and
objects of the Order. r. A. G. White sang

Historic Painting.

In the parlor of the residence of B. T.
Martin. 50 Chestnut street saws the Chelsea
Mass Telegraph Pioneer, hangs a picture
which we doubt not would be instantly
recognized, and stir up long-forgotten Incl
dents in the memory of any old Forty
miner that might happen to see it. 1t is an
elegant and truthful oil painting, finished
the past year by Frost, the artist, of tire
now tlourishing city and capital of the State
Sacramento, Cal, from sketch made by a
Mr.. Baker for Mr.. Martin in 1S49 1t is the
purpose of Mr.. Martin to present the same
to the Pioneer Association, in trust for the
city of Sacramento. The scene is from the
Sacramento river, opening up to view the
low. sloping shore of the then settlement
and now prosperous city, where riding at
anchor are two schooners, one an Ameri-
can the New London Company. Conn, the
other Spanish craft; also three barks, one
Spanish, the others American the Eliza, of
Salem. Mass a northwest trader and the
Elvira, of Boston, of which Mr.. Martin was
supercargo and part owner. On the shore
may be seen the shanties, huts and tents of
the people of the place, only one being
more than one story in hight-a two story
building, bearing the sign of Sam Brannan,
Mormon Elder, who in time became i'm
iheHSely wealthy piies vi AuiHoei, ine iiiSt
hotel three story in process of erection,
and gigantic trees with a wealth of foliage.
! 1t looks just as one would suppose camp
would look upon a newly-inhabited terri
| tory.
Mr. Martin left here in January of 1S49
and arrived in Sacramento in July, being
| the first expedition sailing from the United
States and rounding Cape Horn. He took
with him an assorted cargo of household
goods he also had on board fourteen passen-
gers. Mr.. Martin built the second two
story house in the place. One day a Mr..
Baker was stopping with him, who was an
artist, and consequently could draw, and
Mr.. Martin said to him, " Come, Baker,
row off into the stream and make sketch
of the city" for even then they called it a
city. Mr.. Baker complied, and from that
sketch, made thirty-six years ago, is pro-
duced the painting which our fellow citi-
zen proposes to present to the city of Sac,
ramento. Truly, it may well be called an
historical picture, and as such must be
cherished by the city by which its early
history is SO wildly portrayed.
