The eleventh great "Labor of Her
cules" was to pluck some of the golden
apples from the "Garden of the Hes
perides."
HISTORY OF THE ORANGE.
When the orange emerges from the
realm Of mythology its history is still
romantic. It's seed was carried long
distances by wandering Arab and Crus-
ader. Following the tides Of conquest
and civilization, it has been planted in
all the warm and congenial soils of the
earth. 1t has been petted by the kings
and queens of Europe in houses of glass,
and in this way we learn that single
tree will live and bear fruit for four
hundred years. The seed of the vener-
able tree at Versailles is said to have
been planted by Leonora, wife of Charles
ILL.,, king of France. There is an or
ange tree at Nice said to be over six
hundred years old.
The Spanish padres planted the or
ange near the missions in the counties
OF Southern California hundred years
ago. Some of the trees near the old
mission in the San Gabriel valley are
still living, thus proving that the climate
is 80 kindly the tree will live in spite of
the neglect of whole decades. 1t took
about fifty years for the people to learn
that the orange would thrive outside the
hearing of the silver bells of the old mis-
sions.
Today the solid facts as to the profits
OF orange culture in Southern California
still keep the golden apples in the realm
of fiction, for the story seems too large
to be true.
A writer in the Overland Monthly In
1874 shows the net profit on the orange
at that time to be $l,1S7 per acre. 1t
should be no less now.
There were sufficient illustrations OF
profit in orange culture somewhere in
Southern California twenty years ago to
nerve the pioneers of Riverside to put
their fortunes and hardest labor into
what then seemed to others the widest
of schemes.
Soon after the pioneer orchardists at
Riverside, came the Indiana colony and
the planting of the orange groves OF
Pasadena. 1t was the planting of the
orange that SO quickly transformed the
sheep pasture Of the San Pascual rancho
into scene of beauty, giving us city
with magnificent churches, hotels,
opera houses, libraries, schools and all
the accompaniments. of an advanced and
refined civilization in an incredibly
short space of time.

but its products have, been null
tiform and remunerative. There are
orchards of seeding oranges in River
side that have yielded two thousand dol.
lars an acre, and upwards. These are,
of course, extreme figures. There are
lemon orchards in Riverside whose pro-
duct, cured by Mr.. Garcelon, whose
method seems to be perfect, have netted
$500 an acre. Though these are excep-
tional figures, $1,000 an acre is a frequent
return to the orange grower. Great
pecuniary returns await the intelligent
culture of the deciduous fruits. There
is much money in apricots, peaches.
nectarines and other fruits in that line
not so much as in oranges, perhaps, but
reliable and ample return. Last year
the orchards of the deciduous fruits
at Pomona and. all over San Bernar-
dino county netted their proprie-
tors from $3.50 an acre upwards. En-
glish ,walnuts did much better than
that. We do not think it necessary to
go into minute details in this general
review, because they will be found in
abundance elsewhere.
1t is not possible to exaggerate the
future of the lovely country to which
this and the succeeding pages are de-
voted. 1t comprises the cream OF the
region which will, in the coming years,
supply the greater portion of the United
States with its early vegetables, citrus
fruits, nuts, raisins, canned and
dry fruits, wines and bran
dies, and an endless line OF spe-
cialties which can be grown there to
the greatest advantage. There is, as
was to be expected, a steady rush of the
most desirable immigration there. Cap
ital is pouring in to back enterprises
whose fruition is in the immediate fu-
ture and the returns upon which cannot
fail to be immense. There is no portion
OF the American continent with fairer
outlook than Southern California, and
the great things accomplished in the
past are certain to be discounted by the
achievements of the future.
If Herodotus was right in saving
Egypt is the gift Of the Nile," we are
justified in saying the orange belt of
Southern California is the gift of the
mountain streams. By means of irriga-
tion the orange has quickly transformed
the desert into orchards of such mar
velous beauty and great profit, that the
most conservative statement Of the
simple truth runs the risk, with the un-
informed, OF passing for idle boasting.

side. To these roads, which secure am
pie transportation facilities to the val
ley in all directions, ought to
be added the splendid Belt Elec-
trio service of the Southern California
road, by which one can be whirled from
Los Angeles to San Bernardino and

Southern Pacific between Cotton and
Los Angeles is also much appreciated

speculative excitement which was known
as the "boom'' had subsidized. In the
fall of 1887 lands could be purchased in
what is now the town of Redlands for
trifling prices. Now they command
from $3.50 to $1,000 and upwards an
acre, according to the value of
the improvements. No good orange
lands can be bought in the town
proper for less than $3.50 an acre, even
when unimproved. These immense en-
hancements are due to the fertility of
the soil and to the abundant supply of
water which number of enterprising
gentlemen have stored in Bear valley
and carried IN bitches to Redlands and
Alessandro, the latter new colony which
promises to be great success. Red
lands is already one of the handsomest
little cities in California, or anywhere,
in fact. Its success is due directly to
brains and enterprise. Fruits of all
kinds grow there to great perfection,
and the Redlands orange already has a,
reputation wherever known.
IN addition to the names OF the places
referred to above there are number of
otner promising and lively cities and
settlements in San Bernardino county,
amongst.them Cotton, Rialto and Chino.
At the latter place great beet sugar
plant has been erected, and the making
OF beet sugar on large scale will be
undertaken during the current summer.
This promises to be a great industry,
the government bounty of two cents a
pound being a great stimulus to the
venture.
San Bernardino, Riverside, Cotton and
Redlands have all street railways, COM
Portable hotels, fine schools, perfect sys-
TENS of water and illumination and all
the other characteristics OF modern civ
ilization.
Pomona, which is located in Los An
geles county, near the San Bernardino
line, is another of the famous cities of
Southern California whose rate of growth
rivals that of Jonah's gourd. 1t shares
with Riverside and San Bernardino the
splendid advantages of magnificent
mountain watershed, which assures
ample facilities for irrigation. Like the
San Bernardino valley, Pomona also
possesses great abundance of artesian
springs which can supply an inexhaust-
ible store of the precious fluid Pomona

New Uses for am Old material.

Peat, used for fuel from the earliest
times, and long known to be of great
value as a fertilizer, now finds SO many
other applications that its preparation
has developed into an industry. Peat
powder is serviceable. not only about
stables but elsewhere, on account of its
absorbent and somewhat antiseptic prop
critics and low cost. A French surgeon
introduced this powder, treated with an
tiseptic solutions and contained in cloth
bag, as dressing for wounds. The idea,
said to be very old one among the work
ing people Of some places, was improved
upon by another medical man of Paris,
DR.. Redon, who made soft and pliable
wadding of peat. Other dressings have
since crowded these out of hospitals,
though the peat applications are coming
into use and gaining in favor among vet
erinary surgeons. DIR. Redon's wadding
has yielded important results by leading
to many efforts to produce woven fab
RIGS, SO that peat is now made into mat
tresses, coverings, carpets, etc., which
are esteemed on account of their power
of absorption. Iron.

spontaneity is a sight worth travelling
far to see. About every delicious fruit
known to the scriptural or classical mar
rative is cultivated successfully at
Pomona, of course, including the citrus
specialties. The olive has been made
great source of profit there, and it yields
a handsome revenue at very early
day. Pomona Is remarkably bright
and progressive city, its people are en-
terprising and ambitious and the pro-
ducts of the soil are rapidly making it's
people wealthy. Canneries and fruit
drying establishments make the people
measurably independent of the fluctua-
tions Of the market. Pomona made
gallant fight for a separate county at
the last election, and very nearly sue
ceeded in having one created, of which
she would have been the county seat.
OF course the great and overshadow-
ing interest of this whole region has
been the cultivation of the orange,
