Hon. George T. Garrison died
on Wednesday at his home, at Ac-
cOmac Courthouse, after a linger.
ing illness; aged about nfty-nve
years. He had been for many
years one Of the most prominent
men in eastern Virginia. He had
served IN both branches Of the gen
eraI assembly OF Virginia, and was
forten or twelve sears Judge OF
tbs judicial circuit. which latter
position he resigned in 1880 to &C
cept a seat 10 the nationsl house OF
representatives. After serving two
terms in congress he retired 10
private lite, but was soon after
wards elected Judge of Aceomac
county court, which place he held
till declining health and strength
caused him to resign last summer.
HIS last appearance in public was
at the famous Taylor murder trial
Iast March, and II is believed that
the strain upon him while presiding
at that trial fastened bis end.

Net Profit Of Rais,n CULTURE.

Some of our eastern visitors turn owl
ish with indignation when told that good
grape or orange land is held here at
prices ranging from $175 to $3.50 per
acre. Yet we suppose that they hold
average wheat land in the East, which
will barely give profit of s. per year
for cultivation, cheap at $75 to 500 per
acre.
Land is Just worth what it will return
by cultivation on the money invested in
it. This proposition is 80 plain that it is
as eelf.evident in truth as an axiom.
There are orange-besrjng orchards in
this county which give return of 25 per
cent. interest, rating them as worth
50 900 per acre. Now, would not an in
vestment in such real property at 50 600
per acre be a good one There are
orchards which to the acre have given
50-per cent. interest on q valuation OF
81, 900 to the acre, but these are the ex-
ception and not the rule.
That the orange foothill land in this
county is good for q return Of 5000 clear
profit to the acre, even in raisin grape
culture, has been often demonstrated by
realistic illustration in these columns.
Yesterday the Courier had call from
Mr.. r. L. Lothian, of Etiwanda, one Of
the foothill settlements. He has raisin-
Los Angeles daily herald., 1889-10-01
grape vineyard of twenty-five acres. He
has about finished the picking of the

grape vineyard of twenty-five acres. He
has about finished the picking OF the
crop.
On the twenty-five acres he has IL, 600
trays OF grapes filed to their utmost ca
pacity and above the average. The av-
erage tray holds about eight pounds of
raisins. Let US take Mr.. Lothian's trays
at the average weight, and we have 1884,
600 pounds of raisins. He has sold the
crop to the Cotton Packing Company at
81 cents per pound, which gives gross
income of 1920 for the crop, or gross
income of $228.80 per acre. The picking
of the crop cost $40 per acre, or a total
OF $3.50, while man all the year round
would be required to do the work of the
vineyard, whose wages would amount at
the end of the year to $500. Allowing
the remainder of the $720 to offset the
mans board, though the doing OF
chores" about the place is really worth
that, we have q clear net income of 81, 900
from the cultivation of twenty-five acres
OF foothill land to raisin grapes, for the
year! Now, we would like to ask
business man from the East, how much
is such land worth ss an investment?
The problem is simple. Here is an an
nual interest Of 5000. What is the land
worth as "capital?" What is it worth
as an investment? But there are thou.
sand of acres of just as good land as
this which returns net annual profit of
5000 per acre, which can be bought at
rates ranging from $175 to $500 per acre,
according to choice Of location.
The man who doubts the correctness
of the above statements can 60 to Ell
wanda, or Riverside, or Highland, or
Redlsnds, and find abundant realistic
proof of its truth.-[Ssn Bernardino

THE RAIsIN CROP.
Large shipments In Progrcss-The
Total Estimate.

larro Shipments In Pr0gress-The
Total Estimate.
Shipments of the new raisin crop have
been under way from the northern part
of the State for several weeks. Up to
last Saturday the total shipments from
Fresno amounted to twenty eight car
loads, which means 900 boxes OF
twenty pounds each. Last Saturday a
special train of fifteen cars were made up
by Cook & Langley, who at the present
time handle more of the product than
any other firm in the State. As a train
of this size, given up to raisins alone, was
Unprecedented in the history of the ship
ping of that product from this State, the
train was photographed and the fact of
it's departure heralded abroad. Last
Tuesday the same firm started six car.
loads in one shipment and on Thursday
they dispatched ten. Next Saturday
their shipments from Riverside and Red
lands begin.
At the beginning of the season the
raisin crop was estimated by promi-
nent San Francisco house at ZOO, 900
boxes. This is against total product,
as stated by George w. Meade & Co., of
the preceding year of 900 boxes.
At the same time the Grocer and Gamer
estimated the crop for this year at $780,
600, alleging that although there had
been a considerable increase in the total
acreage under cultivation and although
the pick in the North was very good,
there would be considerable falling off
in the southern part of the State owing
to the prevalence Of the vine disease.
The season is far enough advanced at
present to make it possible to obtain q
more exact statement. A large per cent
age of the crop has been sold, 80 that
personal interest is not at all likely to af-
feet q dealers views of the situation.
Mr.. J. E. Cook, of this city, offers the
following estimate of the total product
for this year: Fresno, $50 cars; River
side, San Bernardino. ETC., $50 cars; San
Diego county, fifty cars; Northern Cali
fornis, $50 cars; total, 900 cars, or $780,
600 boxes.
This, it will be seen, is q little under
Meade's statement of the crop of 1888
but it is probable that the latter contains
an element of dried grapes and loose
rsisins in bags, which does not appear
in the estimate for this year, just quoted
Some good work was done this year in
placing California raisins on the eastern
market ahead of the Malaga. When the
first large consignments of Californis
rsisins began to appear in the New York
market, about ten years ago, they were
enubbed by the eastern merchants, and
we're quoted as an inferior article, greatly
below the imported. Last year the price
obtained for California rsisins was from
10 to 40 per cent below that obtained for
the imported. This year, in New York,
ene Mslagss al and tba are
20.pound boxes, are quoted at $685.
practically the same figure. There can
be very little question that another year
will witness the old-time conditions re-
versed, as the positive superiority Of the
California over the imported article is
unquestioned.

A Flag with a Unique History.

Flag with q Unique History.
A Los Angeles letter which we ind in
the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette, has
the following curious narrative:
Here in Southern California today are
living three ladies who, in 1S47, made
the first U. S. flag which ever was I'M
fnrled in California. Don Juan Bandini,
in that year lived on his ranch of thou
Old Town, San Diego. This is where

haps trifle disaffected; he liked clos
Americanos," and he knew that this fair
land would inevitably come under the
domination of the stars and stripes.
he had three lovely daughters, Ar
cadia, Josefa and Ysidora, all of whom
dutifully shared their fathers views. In
the old days it was difficult for the. young
women OF Spanish blood to find suitable
alliances. The rigid rule of caste pre-.
cluded marriage with young men whose
blood was mixed with that of Indian or
Aztec, but the adventurous Americans
who came gold hunting were considered
good catches, even if they could not tell
who their grsndfathers were. After
events proved that these three young
Spanish girls needed no considerable
amount OF argument from their father to
convince them that the Americans
possessed remarkable attractions.
As things more and more strongly
pointed to the coming supremacy of the
United States, Don Juan grew more and
more eager publicly to indicate that his
allegiance would be gladly given to the
new order when it should be asked for.
Why not fly an American flag? This
was capital idea; but where was he to
get the standard? The three girls put
their pretty heads together and deter
mined to make a flag with their own
fingers at the cost of any sacrifice. And
they did; one contributed coquettish
red petticoat, another slsshed up her
prettiest white skirt, and the third took
from her shapely shoulders a blue silk
shawl and sacrificed it on the altar of
patriotism. The result was a creditable
banner, which was displayed on the
outer wall of the Bandini house-the
first which was ever caressed by Cali.
fornia's semi-tropical breezes.
Mark the happy result. Sefioritas Ar
cadia and Ysidora both married Amer

Colonel R. s. Baker, of this city. and the
latter is the widow of Colonel Cave ].
Couts, of San Luis Rey. Sefiorita
Josefa, however. was wooed and won by
q handsome and wealthy Spaniard, who,
before his death, acquired great landed
interests. These three ladies are living
here in the midst of the progress and
activity of great State, at whose christ
ening it may be said that they assisted.
