Hon. MAX Pepper has recently re-
turned from an extensive trip over the
Southern states, ranging from Virginia
to the gulf, and he gives a gratifying
picture of the great prosperity he saw
on every hand in that section. He
found that the colored people, particu-
larly, had made great progress in ac-
quiring property and intelligence. They
are rated as possessing 100000, 900
worth of real and personal effects. They
are, in the main, living in great har-
mony with the whites. The fortunate
exodus of the carpetbagger gave the
death blow to the scallawag, and only
in the minds eye of certain fanatics,
like the extruded and intrusive Blair, is
there any need for outside interference
in educational matters. School facili-
ties are provided everywhere in abund-
ance, and the only distinction is that
the whites and blacks assemble in diff
ferent editices. There is a quite uni
yersal disposition in the states OF the
south to adopt the Australian ballot
system, and it will be found peculiarly
effective in confining the voting privi-
lege to those entitled to it by intelli-
gence and good citizenship.

THE difficulties in securing the right
of way for the Coast road seem to have
been adjusted, and it is said that work
will begin on it Immediately. This will
be good news to Angelehos. With that
road completed, the trip can be made
between Los Angeles and San Francisco
in fifteen hours, and over route noted
for its scenic and other attractions. The
people of Santa Barbara will be especi-
ally gratified and benefited by its pas
sage through their exquisite city. In
fact, the whole southern coast will be
the beneficiary of line which will
take all the passengers who are not
bound for the interior counties. The
breezes of old ocean will fan the traveller
nearly the whole distance.

quantities OF this tuber from such q
limited acreage, Los Angeles county
alone having shipped six hundred car
loads OF that vegetable east during that
period. Our proportion of this 500 acres
must have been very prolific indeed to
admit of such immense shipments. An
other instance of the great proportions
to which shipments OF vegetables to the
east from this county have swollen is
found in the fact that an Italian gar
dener near the Ranchito shipped last
year ninety carloads of cabbages and
caulifiowers to Kansas City and other
eastern points. For section so caval-
ierly treated by Mr.. Porter this is doing
reasonably well.

The first sale of the lands OF the San
Fernando Fruit colony took place yes
terday. The colony plat embraces one
thousand acres, located to the left OF the
railway track, between Paicoma and
San Fernando stations. Abundant
water has been developed and all the
conditions exist for a prosperous settle
ment. The Messrs. Widney, Judge r.
M. Widney and his son Robert, own the
tract, and they sell under conditions
which will enable the buyer to make his
payments without inconvenience. The
San Fernando valley has for years dem
onstrated its unrivaled fertility. 1t was
one of the favorite sections of the early
Mission Fathers, and their sagacity in
noting the strong points of a country
has never been impeached. Miracles
have been worked in colonial expert
ments in California, and these expert
ments are as yet in their initial. The
scheme upon which this colony is pro-
jected is an ingenious one, and involves
the delivery OF an orange orchard, in
full bearing, to the purchaser, at an ex-
ceedingly moderate price, all the cir
cumstances considered.

THAT the heather Chinee is no re-
specter of persons when it comes to a
matter OF business, is shown by a little
incident that happened at Monterey
yesterday. President Harrison, in max
ing purchase from one of the almond
eyed celestials, offered in payment a
one-dollar silver certificate, which the
heather looked upon with distrust, and
All Ben had to dig up one OF Uncle
Sans big silver dollars. As the prurient
Benjamin is wont to make scriptural
applications, especially when seconded
by his pious postmaster-general, no
doubt his mind recurred to the text,
when accused of possessing spurious
money: "Why do the heathen rage and
the wicked imagine vain thing?"

A CORRESPONDENT from Ontario fur
nishes some statistics as to the number
of orange seeds that have been set out
in nursery in San Bernardino county
alone, which, although we believe them
to be grossly exaggerated, nevertheless
show that this branch of the industry is
being overdone. The section of country
adapted to the growth of the finer de-
scriptions of the citrus fruits is really
quite limited, and if anything like the
planting reported has been INDUCED in,
young orange stock will soon be drug
in the market.

HEAVY ORDERS FOR FLOUR.

ming Full Time.
Tho slight break in the engine which
cause short stoppage at The Roanoke
Milling Company's mill has been re-
paired and tho mill is now making up
for lost time. Mr.. Fishburne said yes
terday it was almost impossible to fill
tho local orders for flour and shipstuffs,
although the mill is turning out over
sixty barrels day, running twelve
hours. He found it necessary to go
down the valley short time ago, and
buy several car loads of wheat. as the
farmers in the adjacent counties were
busy seeding and could not haul their
crops into the market. At the present
tlmo considerable wheat is coming from
the latter source, and difficulty is ex-
perienced in getting wheat enough to
grind. Tho mill is now running to it's
full capacity, and is making a very fine
grade of flour.
