CAPAY VALLEY.

The Home of the Orange, Fig, Almond
and Other Fruits.
A correspondent writing from Cspav
Valley to the RECORD UNION says: Propi.
tious weather for the farmer has prevailed
in the valley of Capay since the winter
rains ceased. Crops have prospered, as
whole, though late.sown grain will be
nothing near the average yield. The har-
vest is almost over, still there are few
fields of grain yet standing. Thus far the
weather has been pleasantly cool few
days OF warm weather now and then be.
ing noted. This has made it very agree
aole for men at work on the ranches, and
IN fact for all classes.
Still in their infancy, the many small
vineyards that cover the valley and spread
over many of the hills from Capay north.
ward eighteen or twenty miles to the head Of
the valley, are in splendid condition. To
see this beautiful valley is worth trip
from afar. The contrast between this mass
of bright green verdure and the golden vel
low stubble. fields is particularly pleasant
TO the beholder.
Since the completion of the Capay and
Lower Lake Railroad to Rumsey, at the
head of the valley, an outlet is afforded to
the various markets of the country, thereby
giving the farmers the advantage of the
earliest and best markets throughout the
country for their fruits, grain raisins,
grapes, apricots, peaches, plums, pears,
apples prunes, figs, oranges and almonds
from which they derive handsome reve-
nues.
For many years has fruit been success
fully grown here for household uses. but
not until lately has much attention been
given to fruit-growing and raisin-making
as business. In both of these branches
Capay valley has made wonderful advance
ment. The soil is of rich, sandy loan,
peculiarly adapted to the production of
raisin grapes and larger fruits.
Allow me to say. in conclusion, that
Capay valley for fruit-raising possesses ad-
vantages eoualed by few places and ex-
celled by none. The valley is about twenty
miles long and will average two miles in
width. The soil is composed of deep,
sandy loan; the valley is surrounded ou
all sides with low ranges Of mountains,
making complete shelter from blghting
winds. The people are beginning to realize
the value of their possessions, and there
fore the acreage to tree and vine is being
largely increased.

Debate on the Bill Ceding Heiigoland to-
Germapy

LONDON. July 24th-ln the Commons to-day
Sir James Ferguson, Parliamentary Secretary of
the Foreign Office, moved that the bill proyid-
ing for the cession of Heligoland pass a second
reading.
Gladstone made speech in support of the
agreement. He blamed the Government. how
ever, for not securing beforehand an agreement
with France regarding Zanzibar He said il
was difficult to comment on the omission with
out embarrassing the Government, which he
did not desire to do. 1t was to be regretted
that in one person were combined the offices of
Prime Minister and Foreign Secretary as the du-
ties OF the two exceeded the possibilities of any
human brain, unless it possessed the powers OF
Napoleon or a Cromwell. He could not vote
against the bill on principle, bt cause the Queen
could give Germany Heligoland but he was not
disposed to make a precedent on a subject of
the most profound practical Importance in the
Constitution. Therefore, he declined TO take
part in the division on the bill.
Goschen, Ha-court, Balfour and others spoke
Smith then moved for closure on the Heligo-
land bill, but the Speaker refused TO close the
discussion on question so important without
allowing the amplest debate. The Commons
