We understand that one OF our most
enterprising settlers is in Los Angeles
making arrangements to bring two steam
plows into the valley. They will run day
and night, and be able to turn over
100 acres in twenty-four hours. Things
are looking up for us when we begin to
turn over the soil in this Wholesale man.

The railroad company recognizes our
need OF better facilities for loading grain,
and is putting in a new aiding on the
east side of the old track. We also need
come warehouses and an elevator. But
what would be still better, flour mill,
and so grind our own wheat before ship
ping it. There is fine opening here for
big mill, and we hope to see one in the
near future. t Lancaster Gazette.
The estimated cost of the system of

reservoirs, having capacity for loo, ,000,.

Work has been commenced on the
McFadden road, from Newport to this
city, and is to be pushed now until the
rails are laid and traffic has been COM
menced. On Tuesday morning the rail-
road laborers arrived on the ground, and
having completed arrangements for their
camp, got down to business to compile to
the grade, which, as will be remembered,
was commenced some time ago. Messrs.
McFadden are now prepared with all the
material necessary to finish the road
clear to Santa Ana. One gentleman,
who is well posted on the matter, said
that it would be but few weeks now
until the engines would be running trains
over the new road.-[Santa Ana Free

of the horrible death of Miss Josie
Sayward, daughter of Captain Sayward
of this city, which occurred at the ranch
of Mr.. Diaz, in Temecula canon, on
Wednesday evening.
The particulars OF the case as far as he
could tell were as follows:
The family were. just sitting down to
supper, when it was found that the lamp
was burning very dimly and that it
needed oil.
Miss Josie took it from the table and
retired to another room, where she at
tempted to fill it without putting out the
light, and in an instant, almost, an ex-
plosion occurred and the flames set fire
to the girls clothing and she ran shrek

oped in flames. The folks got up from
the table and rWhed after the girl and
covered her with blanket and took her
into the house, where everything possi-
BILE was done to ease her pain and save her
life, but all without avail, for the un-
fortunate girl fingered for two hours in
the greatest agony and then her spirit
passed away to Him that gave it. San

Oscar M. Morris, the nurseryman of
this city received letter yesterday from
K. Tamari, ex.Japanese Consul to the
United States, who is now President of
the Imperial College of Agriculture and
Forestry at Komba, Toxic, Japan.
Mr.. Tamari writes very interesting
letter to Mr.. Morris upon the thrift of
various kinds of fruit trees that he is
growing, and also speaks very highly of
trees that he has procured from Cali
fornia, and states that he is very much
interested in orange growing and thinks
that his section of Japan is admirably
adapted to orange culture, although the
experiment has never been tried there,
