WINTER PEARS.
Already we are receiving letters in.
uuirinp as to whether or not any great
amount of winter pears can be procured
tor shipment in this section. Last year
it was the same. Large quantities OF
winter pears were in demand at astonish'
ingly remunerative prices. but only
few could be obtained in the entire Los
Nietos valley. Winter pears are second
only to walnuts in the profit OF their
Weld, and it has always been mystery
10 us that they have not been more ex-
tensively grown by our horticulturists'
Our soil is wonderfully adapted to their
growth and they require AS little Guilt
walton and attention as the apple. In
fact where apples can be grown, pears
will flourish. 1t is matter OF great as
tonishment that large portion OF the
valuable land of Los Nietos Valley is
given to the growth of such declduous
fruits as bear little profit, the owners
seemingly giving but little time to cal
calate the relative income arising from
the culture of the various kinds. 1t Is
about time we stop planting or else learn

BILE residence lots and sold at once. The

The plans of the Sna Gabriel Valley

boxes, and offices. The next floor is to
be used by the bank as counting
room, with two ffices on Fair Oaks for

TUsTIN ITEMS.
EDITOR HERALD: Our quiet place con-
tinues in about its usual course. The
only excitement is in real estate, for
number of small lots have changed
hands within the past week, and many
are looking and bargaining for others.
Some we know are intending to build,
and mistrust some are on speculation.
Within the last month there has been
added to the enterprise of this place
new real estate firm and livery stable,
and our new real estate dealers have
sold some lots on Mr. Fairbanks place,
to a gentleman who has been looking
the country over for some time and Is
soon to erect two.story building
thereon, on the first floor of which he
intends opening another store, adding
still another enterprise here.
Street cars have not yet got to run.
ming, as was reported last week they
would, between here and Santa Ana.
There are conflicting reports as to the
cause of thel, delay, but every prepara.
tion is being made to put the track in
order and no doubt in few days they
will be put in operation; and with all
these advantages we will have no hotel
mot even boarding house. 1t is
good opening for some one. Come and
see us, any who are inclined that way.
The life and business activity now so
thoroughly aroused in that young city of
Santa Ana is beginning to take effect
here.
The rain of Saturday night was an un-
welcome visitor, for in some cases the
raisin crop was not ell under cover, and
some damage was caused thereby.
