Catskil n. Y. Daily Gazette Of Oct. Goth
says:
The high expectations entertained oy
the large and critical audience were more
than realized. There was everything IN

to critieise. The Gold Band gave some OF
the finest band music we have ever heard,
The singing aid dancing were superb and
the musical features unsurpassed. Inc
comicalities were irresistably funny, and
the entire entertainment was a GLORIOUS
success.

seen following her husband up Third
street. He had welve dollars in his pocket
and was on his way TO a saloon. The wife
begged OF him TO give her a portion of the
money to purchase a pair of shoes and a
few provisions for herself and children.
Her pleadings only angered the mans
feelings and he told his wife to go to hades,
he intended to spend his money at the
saloon.

"SPARE THAT TREE"
A Happy Chance That Preserved the
Great Manzanita.

A happy chance has preserved the
giant manzanita of California which
represents, no doubt, the growth of
centuries, for the manzanitas are usually
slow growing plants. The great scar of
the wound made by an ax on its trunk
shows how near it once came to death.
Years ago wood-chopper in the en-
ploy of the Napa Valley Wood company
had begun to cut it for fuel;
man passing by purchased its life
by the payment of ~, and 80
saved plant which is, in it's way, as in
teresting as any of the great trees of
California, and in doing so earned the
gratitude of every lover of trees, not only
in California but in all the civilized
world. 1t was DR.. @. M. Hitchcock who
did this good deed. If he is still alive
he has perhaps forgotten all about the
great manzanita and the So which he
gave to ransom it's life. But his connec-
tion with it must not be forgotten, and
we should like to see placed on the tree
a tablet which should recite its history.
The preservation of such trees is mat
ter of public congratulation and the
memory OF the men or women who pre-
serve them may we'll be kept green as
an example worthy of imitation by all
broad minded and intelligent people.
There is famous red oak tree grow
ing in Dedham, Mass, one OF the finest
of its race in New England, which also
owes its life, correspondent saws, to
the timely appeal of man who appre-
ciated its value. This was Thomas Mot
ley, the father of the historian, whose
country place joined the land on which
it stands. 1t had been doomed to swell
it's owners woodpile, but Mr.. Motley
gave him $40 and the oak was spared.
This wise action of public-spirited
man deserves to be generally known,
and some public record of the fact
should be made, so that every man who
passes by the tree may be moved to
follow so good an example. No one can
see this great tree without being i'm
pressed by its grandeur and charmed by
its beauty, and every one who knows
the story of its rescue will feel more
profoundly grateful that it is still stand
ing.
The Dedham oak now belongs to a
rich man, lover of nature and of trees.
He can earn the gratitude of all other
lovere OF nature if he will cause to be
placed on it some permanent memorial
of it's danger and its deliverance. The
love of trees and the veneration for
those which have attained great age or
unusual size is not distinctively
American trait. 1t is one, however,
which every lover of his country should
encourage, and for this reason the action
OF DR.. Hitchcock in saving the great
manzanita in California, OF Mr..
Thomas Motley in saving the great oak
in Massachusetts, deserves to be placed
on record as worthy examples which
others would do well to emulate.-[Gar-
den and Forest.

the extension from Redlands Junction
to Redlands will be ready to turn over
to the operating department by the 1st

yesterday and will be finished in few
days. The work of grading through to
Grafton will be done as soon as the
grading is completed to Redlands
The motor line is in good condition
again. The rails for the standard gauge
will be laid outside the motor track.
Trains will be run as usual on this line,

THE ORANGE MARKET.
An Argument Indicating That High
Prices Will Prevail.

Ten days ago the companies and firms
who usually buy the bulk OF the orange
crop of Southern California were stating
most positively that, because of the un-
precedented crop of oranges in Florida,
the immense yield of the Mediterranean
islands and the extraordinary product
in Southern California this year, the
prices for all citrus fruits in this state
would be lower than ever before. Sew
eral firms that have handled hundreds
of carloads OF oranges in former years
were afraid to go into the business of
packing and shipping the fruit as usual,
because of fear of a fall in prices while
the product was in transit between Cali
fornia and the east.
The phenomenal blow OF last Thursday
has very much altered the prospects of
the orange market, especially the mar
ket for navel oranges. Notwithstanding
the statements to the contrary, the wind
visited the entire orange section of
California; some places, to be sure, q
little more severely than others; but
ninety-nine bearing orchards out of q
hundred in Southern California lost
fruit during the gale. Over in the fa-
nous orange districts Of San Gabriel,
Alhambra and Azusa thousands of boxes
of the ripening crop were torn from the
trees and thrown upon the ground.
Riverside, Pomona, Redlands and all
places were visited by the powerful
wind. The effect was almost magical
on the market. The San Francisco
newspapers say that the news OF the
damage to the orange crop at once
raised prices for seedlings 20 cents
a box and navels 40 cents box, and
that several great wholesale fluit buy
ers there, who have been apathetic on
the subject of buying oranges, have
teegraphed south to at once contract
for seedlings and navels on the most
favorable terms.
A telegram from Chicago announces
that the wholesale fruit men there have
suddenly become anxious to secure ship
ments of California oranges since they
have heard Of the decrease in the orange
production of this region. The San
Francisco Bulletin says that the Earl
Fruit company estimates that the loss OF
the quantity of oranges will advance the
prospective prices from 20 to 80 per cent,
w. r. Strong & Co. reckon that the ad-
vanced price of oranges and lemons will
more than compensate the growers fol
the injury to their fruit. 1t may be well
to quote that it is an i'll wind that does
not blow somebody some good.--[P Po'

THE WILLOW-WIELDERS.
SACRAMENTO WINS THE FINAL
GAME OF TIE SERIES.
The "All Star" Team to Arrive on Thurs
day-Manager Edwards After Several
New Players for the Los Angeles
Team.

There was a baseball crank present at
the match yesterday afternoon who ap-
peared to have more fun than any ten
other men. He occupied bottom seat
on the bleacher where the sun shone.
He rooted for the Los Angeles team.
His voice resembled trumpet in dime
museum. Everybody smiled at the
"rooter," but that did not affect him in
the least. He kept up his racket until
the Sacramento team smashed out four
runs, then he quit shouting "hooruh,
you," at Huston.
The game was not what one would
term gilt-edged. 1t might be truthfully
said that it was very mediocre. 1t
started out all right, but Lavan's in
ability to negotiate a hard-hit ball,
started the run-getting for the vis-
itors, and they never let up until four
tallies were registered. 1t was trife
cold near the end of the game, which in
a measure accounts for some of the
rocky playing.
The score follows:
Los Angeles herald., 1891-12-21

Los Angeles capital is developing new
oil ter ritorv. Within the year now
almost gone, three new companies have
been organized to exploit the Casteca
or Castaic cafion, as it is variously
spelled, in this county. For years in
dications of petroleum deposits have
been noted in the Casteca, Charlie and
San Francisco cations. These signs
consist in oil seepages in the form OF
small springs and beds of brea. AS
more information was acquired in re-
gard to oil rock and oil-bearing strata,
the belief became stronger that the
geological formation of the Casteca war
ranted development work.
A few weeks ago boring was COM
menced in the Casteca cafion. At fifty
feet oil was found in sufficient quantity
to encourage hope, which has increased
with the greater depths attained in the
well.
The Casteca oil belt is not the only
through the county from Puente to the
ocean is large oil territory, on which
Developments have only been COM
menced.
The Puente wells yield their owners
about $12, 900 per month, which is four
or five hundred per cent. per month on
the capital invested. This beats the
profits of any two percent -per-month
money lender in town sail hollow"
This oil belt passes through a part of
Los Angeles city, and west of town ap-
parently divides, one branch going to
Redondo. At this latter place develop
ments are now being made, with good
prospects of success.
Some development has been attempted
west OF the city on the Mailman, Han
cock, Decker, Weld aud Mansfield places.
Enough has been done to show that oil
exists in commercially paying quanti-
ties. With all this natural wealth at the
very gates of the city and the crying ne
cessity for cheap fuel, it is a con-
stant wonder that the millions of non
invested capital in the banks does not
find more profitable return than in
mere note-shaving and mortgaging the
best improved property.
A new oil company proposes to de-
velop these western fields and supply
the city with cheap fuel. Brea, which
burns nearly as we'll as coal and is much
cheaper, has been used here for years,
bat the supply has hitherto been in
sufficient. A large deposit has recently
been discovered near the city, and this
will be put on the market.
The petroleum of this field is of a
heavy grade, and is in demand for oiling
machinery and mixing with asphalt for
pavements. OF this there is an unlim-
tied supply.
Given an unlimited supply OF cheap
fuel, in the form of brea and petroleum,
there is no reason why within a few
years 10000 men should not be daily
carrying their dinner pals to the many
factories now needed.

AN AMATEUR BURGLAR.
Officer Huston Makes a Creditable
Capture on Spring Street.

Officer Huston Makes a Creditable
Capture on Spring Street.
Officer Huston last evening made a
clever capture OF an amateur burglar.
Last Friday night Al Thiebault, a
ranchero, came to police headquarters
and gave information that his ranch
house between here and Redondo had
been robbed by hired man, who had
then made his escape. The thief is a
young fellow named Joseph Doll, who
worked on the Seven-mile ranch for
Thiebault. On last Thursday he opened
several trunks in the ranch house and
stole everything of value within reach.
Among the other articles he took a
Confederate $40 bill, and managed
to talk the verdant barkeeper OF way
side inn near Inglewood into changing
the valueless note. That was the last
heard of Doll until last evening. Detec-
tive Mofat had distributed description
of the thief among the members of the
police force, and Officer Huston recog-
nized his man, at about 8 O'Clock
last night Doll was calmly strolling
along Spring street, and was very much
surprised when the heavy clutch OF the
law seized him by the collar. He will
have chance to explain matters in
police court today.

A MARVELLOUS INCREASE.
Nearly Fifty Millions Increase in Los
Angeles Freight Shipments.


Angeles Freight Shipments.
The annual compilation of freight
statistics by the auditor of the Southern
Pacific road tells an interesting tale of
the enlargement OF the freight receipts
and shipments at the city of Los An
geles. The figures given are based on
ten months of 1891, while the compara-
tive figures quoted for the preceding
year cover the entire twelve months.
In 1890 the freight received here aggre-
gated 1890, ,210 pounds, and the ship
ments east from here II, ,558, 300 pounds.
For the ten months of the past year the
receipts were 81 ,602, $40 pounds, and the
shipments from Los Angeles 1l6, $685.
500 pounds. This shows gain
of over 45,000,000 pounds in the
shipments from this city for ten months
alone; and a gain of 942, 700 pounds in
the receipts. The remarkable increase
in the shipments is a most gratifying
feature, showing as it does the develop
ment of local industries, and the rapid
expansion TO our horticultural inter
ests.
The following table gives compare
tive statement covering the staple arti-
cles of product and the increase in ship
ments as contrasted with the previous
year.

REDLAND'S RAILROADS.
Work on the Belt Line-The South
ern Pacific.

A representative of the Citrograph
made a trip on Tuesday to the camp of
the construction force on the Belt Line.
He was fortunate enough to meet
Roadmaster Cassin and Mr.. Crandall OF
the firm of Bright & Crandall, who have
the contract for grading. There are
about 100 men and thirty or forty teams
employed. The grading was finished as
far as the river on Wednesday and the
track is laid to that point. The camp
has been moved to East Highland and
the force is at work grading the mile and
a half stretch from the terminus on that
side to the river.
The carpenters are pushing the work
on the bridges and already have four
piers up. 1t is difficult work, as the bed
of the stream is very rocky. The work
is done by putting in jack-bents, upon
which the superstructure rests. There
is one span 900 feet long, another 400
feet, and several smaller ones.
