The Prune Question.

The Red Bluff Sentinel says: "The
importation of prunes for the year end.
ing June 30, 1885, was 1881, $50
pounds, and for the year ending June
30, 1886, amounted to "a, 995, ,547 pounds;
an increase of over 100000 pounds.
The cause of this increase was, that the
old vineyard lands in the phyloxera in
fected districts of France have been
planted in prunes to the amount of thou
sands of acres. These new orchards
are Just coming into bearing, and the
importers expect to make America the
great market for the immense product
coming on in France.
'The San Jose Mercury takes up the
question of prune culture in California
and goes on to show that the product OF
prunes for the year ending June 30,
1886, has been estimated at 1850, 900
pounds, and for the present year it will
reach 1900, 900 pounds. The product
in the future will under right conditions
be in an increasing ratio, The nondi.
tions of soil and climate required for
successful prune culture exist in Califor-
mia to yet unknown extent. The quail
ity of the California prune equals that
of the imported article, and its excel
lence is assured when the proper meth.
ods of curing and packing are applied. i"

On motion the following preamble and
resolutions were unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS, The question OF revision
of the internal revenue and customs
laws involves in many respects the wei
fare of viticultural iudustr es which are
now recognized as national in import
ance.
Resolued, That the president and sec
retarv of the Los Angeles Grape. .Grow'
ers and Wine-Masers' Association be re-
auested to make known to our Repre-
sentative in Congress the views OF the
vine. growers of Southern California, and
especially that,
First, The only general reduction In
internal revenue taxes on dist'iied
spirits should be on fruit brandy
limited to such an extent as
NAV be necessary to equallze falriy
cost of production between fruit ana
grain spirits and that we believe q tax OF
fifty cents on fruit brandy with bonoing
facilities extended to all classes OF such
product would be fair measure TOR the
whole people.
Second-That freedom from tax on
grape spirits necessarily used in pre-.
serving sweet wines should be granted
as a matter of justice to producers -.
Third--That our vine. growers would
desire to lend their sympathy to other
industries, such rs varnish and vinegar
makers in obtaining alcohol for such pur-
poses free of tax; provided that no
reduction be thereby effected for
grain spirits used for beverages.
Fourth-That cheap grain alohol is
the foundation Of bogus and imitation
wines. and that any general reduction
in the tax on such alcohol would materl-
ally in,rease the present difficulties OF
wine. growers, and would tend to demor'
alize and bring into disrepute all trade
in alcoholic and fermented beverages.
Fifth-That the existing law taxing
spurious wines should be SO amended as
to afford ample protection to the people
against imposition.
Sixth-That the admission of alcoholic
compounds under the name Of fruit
juices, at an ad valorem tariff, is fraud
on public revenue and one OF the
greatest dangers to legitimate wine pro-
ducers, which we believe it is in the
power of the Secretary Of the Treasury
to correct under existing laws.
Seventh-That the bill now pending
in Congress to extend bonding facilities
for spirits is II necessary measure, with
out which it will be impractical TO give
sufficient maturity to our distilled pro-
ducts.

QUICKLY CAUGHT.
A Robbers Career Checked Soon
After His Arrival.

Charles Hunt, man in the employ
of NJ. L. Wicks, on the new ditch for
the Citizens Water Company, came to
town yesterday to fetch a pump. Last
night at about IL o'clock he was at the
Washington saloon on the Plaza and
feeling sleepy fell into q doze. Whilst
asleep came up to him and t l
his buckskin purse containing SOS.
When Hunt discovered his loss lie called
Officer Horner to his assistance, and
they began search for the thief, who
had previously to the theft made him.
self disagreeably familiar with Hunt, so
that the latter's attention and that OF
the barkeeper's at the saloon were
called particularly to him, and he was
requested to leave Hunt alone. After a
search of over an hour the supposed
thief was found eating bowl OF soup In
Browns saloon on Los Angeles street.
and escorted to Jail. On the road he
took two SIS pieces out of his pocket and
attempted to throw them away, but
was prevented by Horner. The pris,,
oner gave the name OF Geo. Chase, and
he was booked for robbery. his real
name is Geo. Epply, and he halls from
Erie, Pa Upon his person were found
a pock ketbook with IS, besides the two
So pieces. He had also pocketbook
with large gold nugget in it, aud l..
A. & 5. G. V. railroad employees pass,
delivered few days ago to Yves Pen
rian. In his pants pocket was new
pearl-handled revolver, calibre 81, and a
box of cartridges. The prisoner claimed
that he had Just arrived from Bakers
field. No signs OF the buckskln purse
were discovered, but Hunt claims he
has witnesses who will positively prove
that they saw Chase, or Epply, go
through his pockets.

Railroad Building.

The Apahelm Gazette of December
25th has the following account of rail
road making In the Santa Ana valley
Work on the railroad from Boston to
Anaheim goes on apace. There is no
altering in its onward march, and we feel
safe in predicting that within three
months from the present date the whistle
of the locomotive as it comes through
the canon will be heard in Anaheim.
The scarcity of labor somewhat embar-
rasses the contractors, but they are
hiring every man who presents himself,
Last week some of the force in the
caiion was withdrawn and placed on the
line between Cotton and Los Angeles,
but there is now as large force of men
on the Anaheim road as at any time
since construction began. There is also
large force of men at work below San
Juan Capistrano.
The directors of the A. U. w. Co.
visited the railroad camp at Horseshoe
Bend last week and inspected the pro
gress of the work. They found it pro.
crossing satisfactorily, and reported on
Saturday that the water company would
be benefited at least $1,000 by the i'm.
provement which will be made in the
ditch. Horseshoe Bend has been al
expensive and unreliable part Of the
ditch. The railroad company, however,
take out kink in it that will straig ghten
the ditch and make it shorter by fully
quarter of mile. The ditch will also
be thrown farther into the hillside, and
will necessarily be made safe, as a
break in the ditch would wash away tbs
railroad track.
At the head of the ditch great amount
of rock has been blasted, and as a spe.
cial favor to the water company the
contractors are carting the rock to the
river and dumping it SO that it will form
q permanent dam. This alone is of
great Importance and profit to the water
company.
There are over hundred men at
work at Horseshoe Bend and the fore
man, l.. G.. Graham, expects to have
the work completed at that point with
in three weeks from last Monday, the
date of our conversation with him.

of opera in Los Angeles at the Grand
Opera House tomorrow night in the
grand opera ella Traviata." The sale
of seats began yesterday morning and
has been very large, over $1,000 having
been taken at the box.office, and it is
safe to predict that each of the twelve
performances will be attended by crowd.
ed houses. This season of opera by the
Abbott Company deserves especial men
tion, as twelve different operas COM

ruses and fine orchestra, the leading
parts being taken by talented artists.

insure perfect productions. Emma Alb

rustic retreats of Figueroa and Pico
streets. A human being was found
hanged at the corners of these streets to
a post-at least it was believed to be a
