If A dweiler in this perfect climate
and on the rich soils of this section will
step into anyggrocery store in the city
and look over the shelves he will see
many things to make him aware that
there are openings here for many new
enterprises. He will see preserved
Strawberries put up in Cincinnati, and
shipped in here, where the fruit ripens
under semifropic suns every day in the
year. He Min see cheese made among
the rocky hiflsides of New York, where
a blade of grass has to circumvent a
dozen cobble stones to reach the light of
day, sold here in a city surrounded by
meadows in which he could not find a
stone if he plowed ten acres of it.,
and whose lush sweet grasses are knee
deep to the cattle that feed in them.
He will see potatoes that had to be dug
in Kansas last September and put ten
feet under ground to keep them away
from the frost, sold to people whose own
land would yield four crops Of this sort
a year if it were only asked to do so.
We are developing, but there is a long
road before the end of,this is reached.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH a6, 1890.
CALIFORNIA FOR FRUIT.

From Dan to Beersheba in all the
grower is just now loud in his lamenta-
ton for the loss of the crop that should
have been borne this season, and in too
many instances for the loss OF the trees,
too, so that he is out and injured to the
tune of many prospective crops. This
wall is not alone in the bleakest portions
of the hyperboreans Northwest, where
life is an everlasting struggle to preserve
life, and where spring frosts not only
nip the early buds of promise, but some
times catch the almost mature fruit in
what is falsely called midsummer; but
it is heard all along the lower peninsula of
Michigan, and is re-echoed on both banks
of the Ohio, is taken up in New Jersey,
passed along to Delaware, crosses the
bay in old Virginia, and is heard along
the Florida reefs as the sad ulal,t mingles
with the waves of the Gulf of Mexico.
The orange groves of this last-named
State have gone, blossom and fruit, leaf
and branch, and sometimes root and all,
to follow the peach orchards of Michi-
gan, New Jersey and Delaware to that
limbo of things lost on earth that Dante
found so sad a sight in the cold and
cheerless regions of the unsunned
moon.
There is very important lesson in all
these facts so discouraging to the good
people of the East. The lesson is tosus
here in this sunny land of Southern
California, where frosts never visit the
orchards to blight the hope that springs
eternal in the orchardist's heart, and
springs there because it is not nipped
by the cold touch of disappointment,
but is always fed by rich reward for
all the labors of the husbandman. 1t is
to this section the whole country must
look for its fruit supplies. California is
the only State that can be depended
. on for certain supply of all sorts of.de-
ciduous as well as citrus fruits. And it
is here the fresh treasures must be
gathered from the trees. From here
they must be sent to the East. Here
they must be dried, canned, conserved,
cured in all ways and sent by the thou
sand carloads to feed the East and en-
rich our farmers in return. We are just
at the very beginning Of these things.
We do not realize the hundredth part OF
what is before us in this respect and what
the East will look to us for, nor of the
rewards the States east of the noun
tains will pour into our lap, treasures
richer and more abundant than we
dream of for these multitudinous and
various products of our orchards.
Los Angeles herald., 1890-03-26

In A SUIT now being tried in the courts
of this county. real estate dealer was
put on the stand yesterday in the capac-
ity of an expert to testify as to the value
of the piece of land in dispute. 1t lies
directly west of Florence a few miles and
adjoins Hyde, Park on the east. There
are 1 ,040 acres in the tract, and the expert
swore, that in his opinion, it was worth
$50, to 800, 600 in 1887. Being some
what pressed in cross-examination, by
the opposing attorney, and being asked
what it was worth now, he said it would
be difficult to say how much it would
sell for, as there was no demand at pres
ent, but he had no hesitation in saying
that it was worth, at this moment, 500
an acre. The expert stated that hewas
not boomer but a rational valuer of
property. He is perfectly certain good
land 80 situated is cheap at 500 an acre.

A Defective Information.

A. s. Brooks was before Department
OF hhe Superior Court yesterday, to be
tried on charge of assault with a deadly
weapon. A jury was ready to try the
case. The information charged that
Brooks committed the assault on one T.
w. Tyrer, at Downey, February II,
1890. The complaining witness was put
on the stand, and on being asked his
name, answered: -. A. Tyrer." That
settled the case; the change of the in
itial letter of the name made the infor-
nation invalid, and the court instructed
the jury to return verdict OF mot
guilty as charged in the Indictment" A
new information had to be filed and all
the preliminary work gone over afresh.
The mistake seems to have been that OF
the stenographer who took the testi-
mony in the preliminary examination,
who changed the -" to CT" e
