HAPPY FkUIT-GROWERS.


They Have a Profitable Year in De-
cidunus Fruits.
The failure of crops in Eastern States this
year has blown good wind to Californian
fruit growers. Deciduous fruits will be in
the greatest demand, and, as consequence,
the producers are quite happy over the
prospect.
Fresh fruit for Eastern shipment now
commands from 20 to so per cent more than
it did year ago. The apIcots have nearly
all been shipped, and peaches, plums and
Bartlett pears are following in quick sue
cession. \ general impression prevails that
fruitmen will make money this year. Offers
of 512 cents sound have been made for
peaches, regardless of color, and some
fruitmen are holding out for cents. Last
seasons crops went for 2h cents. The
highest price means $50 ton, or about $500
an acre. Bartlett pears of good quality will
bring 10 cents a pound, which means about
5 cents apiece, 81 a box. $40 a tree and
$1,000 to 5000 an acre. Plums, prunes and
almonds are very light and will not be
profitable to any extent this season.

Constitution and the Declaration of Rights
generally quoted in the extraordinary legal
documents of this very original attorney
but the chief reason alleged in the verbose
petition appears to be that the order, No.
