SANTA ANA, NOV. I9.-Ine IaCt tha'
this county is in prosperous condition
cannot be denied by anyone. The past
fruit season has been one OF the best
Southern California has ever seen. The
farmers are we'll pleased with the crops
raised this year, and an air OF general
prosperity pervades the air. Thousands
of dollars have been brought into this
valley through the different grains, veg
etables, fruits, ETC., that have been
shipped out of here. That the several
fruit drying companies located in Santa
Ana have been pushed to their utmost
capacity this season, certainly denotes
large fruit crop. Prices have been good
throughout the season, and taken as a
whole the people of this valley are in as
good condition financially as the same
number OF fruit growers in any section
of this grand union. The following
shipments of fruit were made
by the fruit drying companies;
and does not in Jude the small
lots sent out by individual growers:
Apricots, 33 cars; peaches, Z cars;
prunes, 4 cars; raisins, l car. The car
of raisins was shipped to Chicago and
was the first since the vine disease de-
stroyed the old vineyards in this section:
The amount of dried fruits and nuts and
cereals stored in warehouse cannot be
estimated. The walnut crop has been
large one and but very few have made
shipments yet.
FOUL CITY JAIL.
That the city Jail should be thor
oughly cleaned up cannot be denied by
anv one who has seen the disgraceful
condition it is in at present. This town
seldom has need of prison, but when
such thing is needed 1t must be had at
once. 1t cannot be called a Jail in the
first place, as it has no loom or cell
where desperate criminal can be con-
fined. The city fathers would do wise
thing to tear the present building down
and construct new one on more I'M
proved plan. The old Jail has been
washed and rewashed but as it has no
sewer or drain it soon becomes foul and
is only fit for pig pen. To contine an
American citizen in such place would
be one of the worst sentences imposed
by judge.
