slopes, suitable for the cultivation o
oranges, are justly held at high prices
Such lands are in most cases near towns
of greater or less population. The eli
mate, the water supply, the absence o.
mud after the heaviest rains. and the
profits OF the industry all combine tc
draw many people to these localities
Some of this land planted and with i'm.
provements on it. in such phases as
Riverside and Pomona is held
at $1,000 to $1,000 per acre.
1t is strictly suburban property,
and many little patch will produce suf.
hclent fruit to pay interest even on the
highest price. Raw lands of such grade
in such localities may be bought as low
as 500 per acre, and is sometimes held
at 81 900 because of it's speculative pros
poets for business or suburban residences.
But discounting these factors outside
and above the uses of the lands for the
ordinary avocations of the husbandman,
and our lands are not held high. Here
are some of the figures as quoted on the
schedules of the agents:
One dealer writes to the HERALD: "I
will sell 600 acres of raisin land at $50
per acre; it is Section II, Township S.,
K. 6 w., S. B. NJ, at the foot of the
Cucamonga Mountain, half mile east of
Etiwanda Station, on the line of the
California Central Railroad, one third

cent. per annum."

There is no better orange or grape land
in the county than this along the highest
part of the mesa close to the foot Of the
mountains. There is plenty of land
suitable for these most profitable of our
industries to be had at for from $50 to
500 per acre. AS stated above some OF
these lands are held at five times these
prices. Like this Etiwanda land most
of these lands are near one or two sta
tions.
PACoIMA AND IT'S DAM.
Pacoima is about twenty miles north
of Los Angeles City, in the choicest part
of the San Fernando valley. Here are
many thousands of acres of as fine fruit
lands as there are in the country. The
orange, lemon, lime and raisin grape will
flourish on these. A dam, the like of
which is not known in the world, has
been built to supply thousands of acres
with water. 1t is built below the surface of
the ground in order to force to the top
the subterranean stream which flows be-
low. 1t cost $4,000. 1t is 600 feet long
and so feet deep. A large supply Of
water in thus obtained for domestic and
irrigation purposes. The lands Of this
company lie along the slope from
the mountains, and none of them

at 100 pounds are not rare. Los Angeles
county is noted for its fine horses. 1t
will become as noted the world over for
its other live stock. 1t will be the great
dsirying region of the Union in a few
years.
WHAT WILL THESE CROPS PAY?
The great point is what will these
crops pay the producer? They will pay
as such enterprises pay nowhere else in
the world. The citrus fruits are the most
profitable of all. Let no one
imagine this poetic and profitable
industry is at an end in this
section. The scale has made great raw
ages in the orchards, it is true, but by
no means universally. This section will
market as many oranges this year as in
any one in its history. Not less than
1000 carloads, each Of $50 boxes, about
It's oranges to the box, will be exported
this winter. At Riverside, at Pomona,
in some orchards in the San Gabriel val
ley, at Santa Ana, Orange and Anaheim,
the yield is as large as ever. At River
side and Pomona the scale is not known.
In many small orchards in the infected
districts the trees are as clean as ever
they were. This pest will be suppressed.

engaged in this fruit industry, will moi

that the employees of the company
are to be married men-a fact of inn
portance in determining the character Of
the new immigration. 1t ought also to
be added that negotiations are in progre 3
for the establishment of newspaper in
East San Gabriel.
The title to the land is clear and in
cludes ample water. The company is
especially fortunate in the amount OF
water which it has at its disposal. Spe-

The advantageous location OF
the town of East San Gabriel is
shown by its railway connec-

mentioned, it extends north to
within a mile of the Santa Fe
route and the San Gabriel Val

the center of the tract.

The signal service predictions are not

of our storms come from the far west and
follow the gulf stream or the great lakes.
All the observer has to do is to watch its

Where they fail is where storm keeps well
out to sea and suddenly swings in when 1t
reaches Hatteras, or keeps far north and
suddenly turns south, like the storm Of Au-

said that cutting off the forests lessons the
rainfall, or at least, allows the water to run
off more quickly, and thus produce droughts.
But 1t is very curious that the first century's
occupation of this country by the whites,
records more severe droughts than the sec

that show that the rainfall Is increasing?

The Haytien war, which has just ended in
the defeat and flight of Legitlme, dates its
beginning to the shooting Of Gen. Telamaque
about year ago. Telamaque was one of
the generals who conspired against President
Salamon and drove him from the Island.
After Salamon fled Telamaque called a
council. every member of which was favor
able to electing him President Before the
election took place Telamaque's troops be-
came engaged in a fight with some of the in
habitants of Porte au Prince. and Telamaque
was shot dead, whether by accident or de-
sign was not known. Legitime was one of
the general Of Salamon's army, and had
been banished to Jamaica by Salamon for
conspiracy. When Legtime heard of the
latter's flight he returned to Hayti to contest
for the Presidency. 1t was about the time
that he made his appearance that Tela-
maque was shot, and the latter's friends &C
cused him of instigating the deed. So when
Legitlme undertook to seize the Presidency
strong opposition sprang up on the Part of
leiamaques friends, and the people of the
Nortn accused Legitime of assassination and
demanded that some one else be selected for
President Legitime, however. MANAGED N
himself elected and proclaimed himself
PRESIDENT. The North, however, promptly
formed provisional government and So.
lected Gen. Hippolyte as President Fight
Ing was begun at once between the two rival
PRESIDENTS, and kept up in desultory wav
until Legitime and his army were cooned mn
i'm Porte au Prince. Not many lives have
been sacrificed in the war, for most of the
battles were mere skirmishes in which few
men were engaged, but the contest has been
attended with many atrocities. How long
Hippolyte will be able to keep his grip on
the government remains to be seen.

The Cincinnati Commercial Gazette says
the Democracy will not succeed in stirring up
strife among the Ohio Republicans in the
coming campaign. There can be-" it de-
clares, mo disturbance between the friends
Of Sherman and the friends of Foraker in
this campaign. Foraker took the nomina-
tion for governor fourth time because the
Republicans Of Ohio wanted him to do so.
This desire had Irresistible expression. The
fact that Foraker as governor has been
greatly distinguished is. we presume, largely
his fault He has been credit TO the State
half dozen times he has done In matters of
national celebrity and universal interest, the
right thing at the right time brilliantly, and

Republicans than declared for any other
leader-though there were most worthy
names before the convention-and he was
the second choice of nearly all who had

The story that the administration would
recall the nomination of the Hon. Frederick
Douglass as minister to HaytI has, probably,
no foundation in fat. Mr.. Douglass's Sc
lection was one eminently fit to be made, and
1t is not at all likely that the administration
will willingly dispense with the valuable
services which he can render this country
now that peace has been restored in Hayti,
and there is, or soon will be, stable govern
ment in that island.

Senator Wade Hampton would like to see
all the negroes in she South sent to Cuba or
some Northern State. That. no doubt, would
be very easy way of solving the negro
problem, but 1t would perhaps create some

But however that might be. there is no pos,

negroes as Senator Hampton contemplates.
The negro is bound to stay in the South,
