A Small Ranch,

Ever since his residence in Southern
California the editor has frequently re-
ceived letters from old friends and
strangers east inquiring about Southern
California and what one can do to make
living. Our usual answer in brief is
fout of the soil,' but we turn such cor
respondence over to those that know
more about it than we do. Recently,
however, two men who happen to be
wardens of Christ church parish have
given us figures and shown us speci-
mems which, for the benefit of eastern
readers, we print here. Major Robert
N. Notion, the senior warden, formerly
railroad man Of Chicago, nine years
ago purchased the Mountain View or
chard at Vernondale, just on the south
ern border Of the city, consisting of
nineteen acres. 1t had been planted in
fruit six or seven years before. He
manages everything with railroad pre-
cision and neatness, and the following
is the report from December, 1888, to
December, 1889:

A DOME sTIc Jar.
Roach Gets a Bite on the Right
Cheek.

E. J. Roach and Ed H. Brown got
into row in the formers room, in the
Clinton block, early last evening, and
Brown bit Roach in the right cheek till
his teeth reached the bone. The trouble,
it seems, grew out of Roach's attentions
to Browns wife. The latter's story is
to the effect that Roach has been en-
ticing his better half to the room in the
Clinton block and ''filling her up with
booze Last evening Brown missed
his wife, and sought her at Roach's
quarters. He found her, and hot words,
followed by blows, were the outcome.
In the scuffle the men fell on the bed
and Browns teeth were buried in
Roach's flesh.
After the men were separated by
friends, Brown was taken to the police
station and booked for battery, Roach
putting up deposit of $40 to insure his
presence to prosecute.

Colonel George E. Prentiss, an unusu-

tells US that his ten years farming in
the east, and twelve years of growing
fruits in this region, have convinced
him that, if the Southern California
orchardists would give three-fourths Of
the attention to their orchards that the
eastern farmers do to their grain fields.
and then economize in managing their
properties, the aggregate Of profits from
fruit culture would be unparalleled in
the whole world. The colonel has had
