which have the improved kinds or choice
seedlings of high character, and by having
such endowment in the matter OF variety,
are producing an orange about as good,
perhaps, as any in the world. We saw
some specimens which we think any critic
would give such standing"
At this exhibition Butte county carried
off the highest honors, and the year iol-
lowing at a similar exposition under the
same auspices, added considerably to the
laurels won at the first display.

and afford even better facilities than those
already enjoyed.
TELEGRAPHs AND TELEPHONES.
All the towns of the county are con-
nected with one another and with the
cities of the State by telegraph and tele-
phone lines. From Ofoville these lines
also run to the mining points and mills of
the interior, and into adjoining counties,
there being about 200 miles of wires CEN
tering at this point.
IRRIGATION FACILITIES.
Two large water ditches originally con-
structed for mining purposes, terminate at
Oroville, and are now used to irrigate
orange groves, orchards and VINEYARDS.
These supply ten times as much water as
is now demanded, yet several other large
bitches are being constructed, notably the
Wright q Fleming ditch, which will take
its water supply from Feather river, a
couple of miles below Oroville. 1t will
furnish ample irrigating facilities for at
least 10000 acres. People may secure
land anywhere in the vicinity with
perfect assurance that for either agricult-
ural or horticultural purposes water will
always be abundant and obtainable at low
rate
An immense irrigation scheme is about
to be consummated, being no less than the
taking of the water of Feather river from
Big Bend tunnel to the east and the west
in two large canals sufficient to irrigate all
the lands of Butte and adjoining counties
Even San Francisco city itself may yet be
supplied with water from this source.
THE LOCAL PAPERS.
During the past two years no town on
the coast has risen from chronic state of
inertion to one of enterprise and push with
such rapidity as has marked the reiuyena-
tion of Oroville, and no single source has
contributed more toward bringing about
this happy state of affairs than the local
papers, the Daily Mercury and lEeekly
Register. L. 3. Price is editor and pro-
prletor of the former, while S. S. Boynton
occupies the same relation to the latter.
Many of the local journals Of the interior
