Mr.. J. B. PoRTALEs, who is on mis-

Viticultural Society of this State, has
sent very encouraging word here abou
the estimation in which our prunes o.

fornien. He says:
"The California prune seems destined
to take the place of that Of France, and
the merchants whom l have seen a,
Bordeaux and at Agen say it will be
difficult for them to keep up the compe

contemplating setting out prunes on g
large scale have given up their plans
This is excellent news for the California
growers.
Gas to our California wines, the news
is no less satisfactory. The samples sen,
from California in casks and in bottles
arrived in excellent condition. They
have even improved to such an extent as
to be hardly recognizable, and the change
has heen most advantageous, Wherever
l have left samples hear only compli-
ments and expressions of surprise that
our wines have made such great pro-
grees. Even at the low price at which
Spanish wines are sold here it would be
advantageous to Californians to send
their wines in cask, and We should have
the preference"

Everyone who can afford to do go,

The pictorial and statistical matter

Los Angeles daily herald., 1889-06-29

We DO not believe there is anything
alarming in the objections raised by State
Controller Dunn to the validity of the
500. 900 of Courthouse bonds issued
by the Supervisors OF Los Angeles county.
The bonds were ordered TO be issued, I'M
der the law, some eighteen months ago.
The first installment of 800 900 was sold
at the time. The second installment was
sold about one month ago, and signed by
the proper officers-the present President
of the Board of Supervisors and the pres
emit City Auditor. They are, Of course,
the proper persons to sign the bonds. Ii
makes no difference that another set Of
officers of officers was in existence two
years ago. The Office is continuous il
the officers are not, and those who are in
authority in the offices designated in the
law at the time the bonds are issued are
the only ones who can legally sign them.
To be sure there is apparently an anach-
ronsm in the date of the issue and the
time of incumbency of the officers sign
ing but that is explained by the fact Of
necessary lapse Of time between the
issue of the first installment of bonds
and the subsequent installments. Per
haps it would have been better to have
the anachronism explained on the face
of the bonds, but we do not believe the
objection is of a nature to affect the
validity of the bonds.

signs of Dawn.

JoHNsrowN, June 2S.-The situation in
Johnstown is growing brighter every
day. Eight thousand dollars in cash ar
rived today to pay the men in the
various departments. The work of regis
tering the flood sufferers for the purpose
of distributing local funds was finished

sons we're lost.
Rev. Beale. Chairman of the Morgne
Committee, has made his official report.
He has q record of about l, 300 bodies.
Ten bodies were recovered today. The

he had 'squealed. He replied
he had not, because he had nothing
to tell. He protested in strong
language against the action of the police
in locking him up as they did, without
giving the slightest excuse for his de-
tention. He said he was arrested as he
was entering his own door, and that the
officers refused even to allow him to no.

ST.. LOUIS. June 2S.-Walace Boulton,

Buehrie, uncle of the dead girl,

girl, before leaving the house of her
sister, burned all her letters, and told
her sister, in case she did not return, to
divide her effects among the family.
The police are now proceeding on the
belief that the murderer was man EN-.

Fruit Growers, Opinions,

SAN Francisco, June 28.-The regular
monthly meeting of the State Horticul
tural Society was held today. @. B.
Turrill, secretary of the society, and w.
w. Motherall, of Hanford, were elected
members of the board.
A. l.. Wright, Pomona, said that the
fruit crop in his section was large, but
there was little disposition on the part of
growers to handle it on account of the
low prices. When he left there the can.
merry was not running and he thought
that considerable of the product would
be left to rot on the ground. w. w.
Motherall said that there was consider
cradle drying being done in Tulare.
Kern and Fresno counties. Shipments
OF green fruits from there would probably
never amount to much, as the transpor.
tation rates we're too high. The prune
crop was large and the peach crop fairly
good, but the locality was troubled, to
some extent, with the Goblin moth. A.
L. Bancroft, Contra Costra county.
thought his locality would bear good
crop of deciduous fruits.
Mr.. Turrill spoke of the fruit industry
OF San Diego, and recommended the in
PRODUCTION OF the guava in the northern
parto the state. The cottony cushion scale
has been kept out of San Diego county,
but the Black Scale has got hold in some
places, owing to the introduction of in.
fected trees from Florida and some parts
of this State.
A. G. Freeman, of the Executive
Committee of the Dried Fruit Associa-
ton. read a paper on the preparing,
packing and marketing of dried fruit.
The first requisite of peaches and april
cots, he said, is color; and past ex-
perience led to the belief that Cali
fornia dried-fruit men have ALWAYS
been too frugal Of sulphur. He did not
think 1t an exaggerstion to say that at
leaet fifty carloads had been rejected,
Los Angeles daily herald., 1889-06-29

or greatly deprecated, from their
real value, on account of their not being
sulphured enough. 1t would not pay for
California dryers not to peel any but
the largest peaches, and those
shonld be carefully handled to make
them strictly fancy article. In the dis
cussion that ensued relative to the mer-
its of sulphuriug fruit, Mr.. Motberall
maintained that the system was wrong,
fruit SO treated having a deleterious
effect. Mr.. Shinn was of the opin-
ion that if the fruit was
dried in close drer air,
it would not be necessary to use sulphur
to the extent it is used at present.
A. L. Bancroft read a paper on "The
ACCESSIBILITY and Best Means of preparing
Horticultural Register" He advocated
the registration by number, name and
photograph of all new varieties OF fruits,
flowers and plants worthy of being
propagated. Adjournment was then
taken.

A Chinese Riot.

SAN Francisco, June 2S-A riot took
place in the Jackeon-street Chinese
Theatre last night, caused by an attempt
of highbinders, belonging to the Suey
On Tong Society, to stop a certain play.
The highbinders were to have a benefit
tonight, and wanted a new play put on.
The managers of the theatre, however,
determined to put the same play on as
last night, and this led to trouble.
Chairs, stools, rotten eggs and vegetables
played a prominent part in the proceed
ings, and some weapons were drawn. A
force of police, who arrived on the scene,
had difficulty in making arrests.
