Total carloads

1t is pleasant thing to contemplate
these figures. There are 300 boxes in
carload, and they are worth an average
to the grower OF 81 box, as the bulk of
the crop is budded fruit. At 5000 car
the crop is worth $2,26S,0 900. River
sides 1900 carloads are certainly worth
more than 5000 per car, for there are
very few seedlings in that place. That
means for that town Of scarcely 5000 in
habltants, with 5000 acres of orange or
chard, not half of which is in full bear
ing, 81 ,2SO, 900. Think of that for place
which was a barren sheep pasture
twenty years ago, and which ten years
ago shipped only fifteen carloads of or
anges, worth at the most $4,000. Then
$1,2S0,000 divided between the whole
population-growers ,storekeepers, school
teachers, men, women and children.
comes to more than $3.50 per capita. or
$1,000 per family of five. The real fig
nres are more than that. And of such

Donnelly Defeated.

Three years ago Mr.. Ignatius Don
nelly, the discoverer, or rather the in
ventor, of the alleged Shakespeare
cipher, sought to prove the correctness
OF his Baconian theory by challenging
any one ID to bring out the cipher story
given by him by the use of any other
s'root numbers or ''modifiers'' than
those used by himself, and (2) to ex-
tract from the first folio text, by the use
of the same numbers, any other cipher
story. Although the acceptance of the
challenge meant an immense amount of
work. the Rev. DIR. A. Nicholson OF
bennington, England, undertook the
task, and with complete success.
He has produced the Donnelly cipher
story by the use of other root numbers.
and has also, by the use of the Donnelly
numbers, dug out sentence referring to
the ecclesiastical trial of the bishop Of
Lincoln, the latter result showing how
false the Minnesota statesman's theory
is. DR.. Nicholson's root number is the
date OF the Hegira of Mahomet, and he
says that ''by the arithmetical law of
combinations Mr.. Donnelly's contriv-
ance secures to the operator an almost
incalculable number of chances q, ,309,-
600 to ~ for picking up from the column
any words required for the manufacture
of stories. ."-[Chicago Mail.

THE massacre of the Sicilian members
OF the infamous Malta society at New
Orleans was naturally enough the SUBJ
ject of thought ali over the civilized
world. The dreadful affair must be
deeply lamented from any and every
point of view, and yet the participants
in the killing will never suffer the loss
OF a single hair OF their heads. 1t ap-
pears to be certainty that the jury
was tampered with, and that the trials
were flagrant miscarriage OF justice.
From all that has come to our ears, it
seems that the prisoners were guilty OF
the grossest and most damnable of
crimes, murder secretly conspired for
and treacherously committed. A mob
is not any part of civilization, but
neither is jury-fxing. Mob law may
be far less subversive of civilization
than the verdicts of corrupt jury. If
the prisoners were guilty as charged in
the indictments, what terrible mis-
carriage of justice was their acquittal
And disgraceful as riots are, it will be
the judgment of the people that the
Malta society and its damnable prac-
tices shall not be transplanted in Amer
lean soil, and be allowed to take root
and flourish there. That will be pre-
vented at any cost. Two things come
to the surface in this matter as necessi-
ties of the hour. They are thorough
and radical change in our jury system,
at present the most uncertain and i'm
becile means of executing the laws; and
as thorough and radical revision of
our immigration laws.

THE ORANGE CROP.

During the past week or ten days the
movement of oranges out of the semi
tropics is estimated at not less than 100
carloads day. If in ten days there
have really gone out 1000 carloads, the
seasons shipments must stand at about
1900 cars. 1t is probably not so many as
that. But if it is nearly that quantity
then the crop is pretty we'll in hand for
the season. For there are ten weeks
still in which to ship.
The Southern Pacific railroad people
are reported to estimate the total crop

THE BIG RANCHES.
Cutting Them Up Into Smaller Hold
iups

A few days ago the HERALD an
nounced that E. j. Baldwin has cut up
a large tract of the Santa Anita ranch
into 10-acre farms. The HERALD is now
able to announce that another big ranch
is to be snbdivided. A. H. Denker has
cut up the whole of the Rodeo de los
Aguas, half way between the city and
Santa Monica, into small farms. He
will sell them to actual settlers on very
reasonable terms. The land is in the
frostless belt, and is just where
they raise the winter vegetables, fine
oranges, and all the choicest specialties
of the semi-tropics. Preparatory to tear
ing down the wire fences, all the cattle
and horses on the place will be sold. One
week from today there will be a great,
auction sale of fine stock on the Rodeo'
de los Aguas.

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA is cRowINc

That Southern Califorr 4ia is growing
in population and wealt' !. and At a yerv
rapid pace, is beyon'a 4 question. 1t is
not many months ST. ace the Alessandro
colony, above Red 4ands, in San Bernar-
dino county, ws.A opened up to settle
ment. Yet s'iort as the time is, the
local paper published last week full
list by ns.mes of all who had purchased
lands to date. That list foots up nearly
400 buyers who have invested in the
lands of the new colony. The total
number of acres purchased is s6l0, and
the aggregate sum paid is about $500, 900.
The greater part of these buyers
are actual settlers, who proceed
at once to plant their land to trees, and
who, if they do not build at once, will
do so as soon as their investment begins
to pay an income through the crops pro-
duced. This will be in three years.
Meantime great many OF them become
actual settlers at once, and proceed to
build on their property.
! The country generally may not be
growing with the same rapidity; but
there is not any portion of South
ern California that is not grow
ing at very satisfactory pace.
And the people who are coming
here now are showing their wisdom.
They still buy property at very reason
able prices, for there is no speculative
excitement yet, and there are still a
good many persons who, being over
loaded with real estate, are free sellers.
At the same time, this season is the
pivotal one, between the dead period fol-
lowing the collapse of the old boom and
the exciting period about to be ushered
in when the new, inevitable boom will
develop and carry prices to higher
permanent level for all time to come,
and to much higher level for a while,

WINTER APPLES.
Blooming in September and Gathered
in March. x

Last Saturday Mr.. Joseph Huddles-
ton, of A. 3. Chapman's ranch, brought
to the HERALD office basket of nice
apples, he had that day gathered from
the trees. The apple was Of the yellow
pippin variety, and the trees bloomed
last September, when other apple trees
were bearing loads of ripe fruit. The
fruit grew we'll all the fall and winter,
and in the middle of March the crop
was gathered. The apples were of q
fairly good size, say as large as hen eggs.

A Hoopoo TANK.
County Jail Prisoners Consider Number
Two Sure Conviction.

Prisoners awaiting trial have their
superstitions and hoodooe like great
many other people. The second tank at
the county Jail is now regarded as sure
Jonah. 1t is generally conceded that
any one in that tank awaiting his trial
is sure to be sent up. Several patrons
of the Jail assert that they might as well
plead guilty as be locked in tank two.
1t appears that every prisoner in that
tank since January has been convicted
without fail. The inmates of this tank
are greatly worried, and now resort to
various schemes IN order to break the
hoodoo.

reading Run 10 Seed" He began by saying
he had selected as his first reading tho
story Run to Seed" alth ugh II was not
written in dialect. because it sets forth the
civil her0ism not only OF that great class Of
men who run our railroad trains and often i'm
peril their lives to preserve ours. but because it
was intended TO exempifS the value in our
peoples character based upon the fact that
the present generation was descended from a
generation Of soldiers and of women who
without q soldiers compensation bore more
than a soldiers hardships. The story was
written he said N consequence OF slight
ing remark made about the unedu ated
young men of the South by lady living
abroad.
The reading. which had never before been
heard 10y an audience in this city, was very
dramatic forceful and pathetic. 1t was
