''The Fakir," the lively Los Angeles
correspondent Of the Banning Herald,
in the last number Of that paper, has .
brilliant letter from which the follow
ing is taken:
Los Angeles has just been enjoying a
big boom, not one of the real estate
booms which occasionally strike this
lively little burg, but the biggest kind
of 4 religious boom. The man who led
this crusade against sinnoxs iss Rev. B.
Fay Mills. He IL evidently q bowling
snccess, as hundreds have become con-
verted, and, among others may be mem
toned that politician and all-round good
fellow, Walter s. Moore. Walter at
tended one of the revival meetings Just
for curiosity, he says. Be that as it
may, the hard, cold fact remains that
the old haunts that once knew him 90
well will know him no more-the fact
is, Walter s. Moore has become con-
verted. He knelt down before the vast
audience last Sunday, and, with
tears streaming down his face,
be confessed many of his mis-
deeds of the past. He told how, as
the chairman OF the committee to frame
q new charter, he had pulled the wool
over the eyes of the Democratic mem
bers OF the committee and gerryman-
'dered the city in the interest Of the Re-
publican party, of which he was shin
ing light; how he had kidnapped ballot
boxes during exciting primaries, and
had inveigled the Hon. George H. Bone
brake to put up the funds for the Oro
Fino club. telling the major it was but
the stepping stone to q seat in the
United States senate. He concluded the
history Of his misdeedsby saying that he
had absolutely nothing to do with the
shaking down Of Railroad Commissioner
Rea during the last campaign, the prime
mover in that crusade being the Hon.
John Terrence Gaffey. Walter after
wards told his friends that if all the
men who told him they had voted for
him at the last election, but did not,
would only be converted, it would be
necessary to hire tbe race-track to hold
them. x

According to the idea that every

Gus fruits, the present seasons crop
should be large; but the indications
are that, while the yield will be good,
it will not be unusually great. A re-
view Of the present wholesale markets,
however, indicates that there will be q
heavy demand for fresh fruit for ship
ment and by the canneries. Canned

A Fast Growing vine.

The Kudzu vine is probably the most
rapid growing plant in the world. It
belongs to the bean family. The leaves
look something like a Lima bean, and
was once called Dolichos japonicus. It
will grow easily sixty feet in three
months. It was introduced into Amer
lea by the Japanese during the Centen-
NAL exhibition. It is said that in its
own country it has flowers like lunches
Of wistaria. For some reason American
summers do not seem long enough for
it. It rarely blooms. - Meehan's Monthly.

weslth in Walnu&s.

There is good money in English wal
nuts, or, az 90 many people know them,
Madeira nuts, for any man who has the
patience to work and wait for the trees
to grow. It is . better proposition for
q man who has the means to purchase
from ten ia. fifty acres Of bearing trees.
For such man nut growing presents
q field in California the counterpart Of
which cannot be found in America. In
the vicinity of Rivera. over in the
Downey locality, ranchers have made
from $3.50 to $40 an acre from the
crops. It is estimated that from an
aggregate OF from thirty-five to fifty
acres Of trees 100 900 to 200 900 pounds
Of nuts will be harvested, representing
value Of from $12 900 to $4,000.
An enthusiast on walnut growing has
taken pains to compare his favorite
branch of agriculture with wheat grow
ing, and reaches the conclusion that one
acre set to bearing walnut trees in Cali
tornia is worth forty acres in the west
ern states needed to wheat. This is
9 modest statement Of the compara-
tive values; for it has been shown time
and time again that two men with four
horses can do al the work required In
6fty acres of walnuts all the year round,
except in the picking season. when 4
few extra hands will Be needed for :
month; while the 1000 acres Of wheat
calls for the attention Of fifty men all
the year., with large increase in labor
and expense to market and harvest tho

"A Good Article on the Culture Of
Almonds. ss
-Ths GOOD PROFIT which Gan BE Made
From Almond Earming-wsalth
in Misunderstanding Shade
Trees--Earm Notes.

The nipping and in some localities
killing frost we had last winter, has
caused slight diversion from oranges,
and the deciduous fruits are receiving
much attention and an immense acre
age will be planted this coming year,
says the Ventura Free Press. In this
connection we desire to put in plea
for the American almond. This nut
We consider has never been iuvesti-
gated in Southern California with
the care which its merits warrant. Up
north the clear-headed horticulturists
are taking hold Of it and planting it ex-
tensively. Hatch & Rock have 300
acres of three-yesr-old trees at Rio
Bohito, and the fact that they are
nurserymen who raise and sell immense
quantities Of trees Of all kinds, and yet
choose to plant 300 acres Of almonds for
themselves is significant.
The soil in this county is adapted to
the almond and the orchards planted
here are thriving wonderfully, and are .
source Of delight to their owners, who
expect great returns in the future. It
requires no experience to grow almonds,
and now that it has passed beyond ex-
pertinent that this county is the home
Of the almond, we advise people to plant
that tree extensively.
The California almond had to force its
way into the eastern market in the face
Of q prejudice In favor Of the imported
fruit. This 1t has accomplished go well
that. owing to its superior qualities, it
sold in New York the present season, in
October, 1891, ct an advance upon the

pounds, for $2844.65. The paper-shells

Too many long lines of tall, gaunt

WORRIES HARRISON, eooMs BLAINE

WOhhlEo f1NnhloOiNi bOOMo BLAINE
If It should prove true that Secretary
Blaine has finally been goaded into the
race for the nomination, the President
viii have himself TO blame, and his Off.
cious and silly son TO thank
Two years ago when things were all
running smoothly. Russell Harrison, the
Presidents son, began newspaper at
tack as vicious us it was indiscreet, upon
Mr. Blaine
AT that time Mr. Blaine had not de-
clared himself Nothing, in fact, had
been said about the Presidential aspira-
tions Of any candidate.
President Harrison and Secretary
Blaine were both apparently attending to
the various duties of the great offices TO
which they had been called, one by the
fat fried ont to buy Indiana and New
York the other by bargain made in the
Chicago Convention for giving one man
the nomination for the Presidency in e1
change for the highest office in the gift
of the President.
Russell Harrison did not like that stu
alton. lie fretted, gabbled and garbled,
had pictures made and articles written
till his sly and sardonic father aud the
magnificent and impetuous Secretary of
State were fairly pitted against each
other President Harrison engaged I'm
the several little controversies started by
his designing son with deft caution
which has distinguished his whole polit-
ical course; while Mr. Blaine at first
incensed and restive resented the at.
tacks and left the Cabinet. Afterwards,
being sick despondent and disgusted, he
returned and wrote the letter sought and
expected by the Harrison faction with
drawing from the race.
The htter, though sought and ex
pected was not the sort of letter th,
Harrison people wanted. Il was brusque
short and without any explanation, with
ont any recommendations without ap
] pointing any political heir but with q
oaptious terseness, which, considered II
connection with the time and the man
was startling
Some people believed that the lette
was final and sincere; some reserve,
their opinions awaiting developments
t. some believed it 10 be trick letter Will
the vast majority simply didn't know
1t is possible still that Blaine and Har
4 rison understand each other, and that
