We LEARN from a gentleman who has
just returned from Chicago that our
California worlds fair commission, while
in that city, concluded that it would
want man of experience and ability as
an organizer and general superintendent,
and that the name of Major Truman was
not only favorably but unanimously
mentioned. A few months ago G. p.
Huntington offered Major Truman a
handsome position on the Southern Pa
ciic, but the major declined on the
ground that he had accepted position
that he had agreed to stick to for two
years. Mr.. Truman is at present doing
first-class work for Southern California,
and what he has already done is being
greatly appreciated by the people of the
five southern counties. Still, should the
California commission select Truman,
and he should accept, he would undoubt-
edly be the best man in the state for the
place, as he has had vast experience, has
travelled largely and observed closely, is
good, clever, all-round writer, and is
man of good address, sunny ways, and
pleasant administrative methods.

The latter figure, large as it may seem,
was actually received by several River
side orchardists this year for
specially fine fruit At the pres
ent charge of the overland rail-
ways for shipping citrus fruits by the
carload the freight upon an orange-at
about 70 cents a box-amounts to a
fraction less than half a cent apiece. If
another half cent is allowed to the mid
dlemen for profit and the orchardist
cent, this would admit of the making OF
enormous profits from the Seeding
orchard. OF course fancy navel and
other selected oranges will always COM
mand higher range of prices. But let
us assume that the grower will receive one
cent net for his seedlings, and the ex-
hibt will remain very encouraging in
deed. A mature Seeding grove ought to
average, say, seven boxes to the tree.
Some OF them will go fourteen and many
of them ten. Taking the moderate fig
ure of seven boxes, and allowing 100
oranges to the box, and seventy trees to
the acre, and the orchardist would re-
ceive the handsome sum OF 1874 per
acre as return for his labor and capital.
Going even further, and putting his
oranges at half cent piece net, he
would realize within a fraction of $400
an acre. We have in this calculation
labored to be conservative in the ex-
treme.
In our judgment the foregoing state
ment does away with any real ground OF
apprehension as to the future of the
orange trade. Moderate prices will al
wavs dominate the situation. That
people are ready to pay money for
oranges is shown by the fact that Of
fetal statistics of the Italian government
show that, for period of ten years, the
orange shipments from the three princi-
pal citrus ports of Italy averaged $780,
900 900 year in value. A recent COM
mission of the Italian government, in a
report to the king, dismiss Florida as
serious competitor to Italy, but dwell
upon the real danger to Italian produc-
tion from the Southern California orch
ards.
On a full consideration we are in
clined to think that the man who will
not plant more orange trees because a
great many had been already planted is
like the diamond digger who should
stop his work because he was finding
too many gems.

AS THE HERALD predicted would be
the case, Hon. Warner Miller left San
Francisco after having been the recip-
lent of much cheap and effusive hospi-
tality and with no shares OF stock taken
in his Nicaragua enterprise, or if there
were any subscriptions, the amount has
been kept profound secret. The city
of the Golden Gate can be trusted to
maintain its reputation for lack OF en-
terprise. Its latest vagary is allowing
the bonds issued under the Wright act
to be bought up in the east. OF course,
the interest will be drained from Cali
fornia, instead of being kept at home to
fructiiy tenfold. The Bay City will
waken up some fine morning and find
that the star OF empire has passed south
ward and northward il she does not
amend her Silurian ways OF doing bust

oil mining-cannot fail to be of interest.
The HERALD is firmly of the opinion
that Los Angeles is destined to be
lighted and heated by natural gas as
fully as Pittsburg, and believes that that
spontaneous and cheap fuel will be at
the basis of our manufactures of the
future. All that is required is that we
should develop some of the enterprise
and industry and employ some of the
capital that have been found so effectual
in adding to the wealth of Pennsylvania
and adjoining states, and to the comfort
of the world.
