is thrown carelessly into an old box or
package. Their fruit always pre-
sents very creditable appearance,
and there is a demand for. it.
The apples, peaches and pears from
other states are fine favored fruit, but
they are not carefully assorted and
packed, and are shipped in such a shape
that they do not secure the same
prices as California fruit" This may
be true of California fruit that finds it's
way to the Chicago markets; but never
theless we eubmit that much of the
fruit in our local markets
as it comes from the ranches
is anything but 'packed in
vitingly." Generally it is dumped into
miscellaneous boxes without grading as
to size and quality and often scaly and
dirty. Tho packing and chipping Of
fruit is an art that but few of the grow
ers understand; strange to say, this i'm.
portant branch of practical horticulture
has fallen in to the hands of the ship
pers or rather middlemen. They are the
ones who own the packing houses
and furnish the material, and are in the
main responsible for the neat appear
snce of fruit shipped TO eastern markets.
The fruit sold in our local markets is
often badly arranged and graded. This
is not as it should be; growers will
only be consulting h ,ir own interests
by following the examples of the chip
pers--pack, grade and arrange their
products so as to make them appear to
the best advantage before placing on
|. the market.

The santa Ana Iron Works.

An important industry and one which
all the people of Orange county feel a
pride ia the large iron foundry and ma
chine shops at Santa Ana-the Santa
Ana Iron Works. The plant occupies a
quarter block fronting both Fifth and
West streets, near the principal busi-
ness por lion of the city. This is the
oldest plant of the kind and most con-
siderable OF any manufacturing concern
in the county. All kinds of foundry
and machine work is done, and heavy
forging is made a speciality. Wagons,
buggies and farm implements are here
manufactured as we'll as the principal
extras and repairs Of ali the leading
farm implements on the market.
A huge engine operates two steam
lathes and other machinery and fur
nishes power to the blast forges.
Charles Yost and George A. Whidden,
both practical machinists and forgers,
are the owners of the plant, and both
give their personal attention and practi-
cal aid, hence the concern is grand
succ ess.
When the writer visited the works.
eight men were busily engaged in fore-
ing, working at lathes, or at repairs OF
wagons and machinery of various kinds,

SCHOOLS AND PAPERS.
An Interesting Resume of Educational
Institutions and Public Educators.

An Interesting Resume of Educational
Institutions and Public Educators.
The public school system OF Orange
county is especially perfect. There are
33 districts, SO school buildings, rs
teachers and over 1000 scholars in the
county. 1t is curious fact that 72 per
cent of the teachers in the county are
graduates OF the Normal schools, and
quite as interesting is the fact that the
average tenure of those teachers in
Orange county's schools is four and one
half years. But this is explained when
it is understood that the average salary
for male teachers is $S3.37 and for fe-
males $75. so per month. The highest
talent is demanded and the best OF
wages is paid teachers. That is the Sc
cret of Orange county's deserved repu-
tation regarding the superiority of her
schools. The county, again, is so COM
pact that it's general supervision is made
easy. Not district in the county but
can be reached by team from Santa Ana,
the county seat, within three hours.
The board of supervisors of schools have
always been very liberal, hence the ex-
cellent school buildings everywhere and
frequent improvements.
PUBLIC EDUCATORS.
OF course the press is we'll represented
in Orange county, and with specially
creditable class of journals-but what
community in California is not SO fa-
vored? The Blade at Santa Ana is the
only daily published in Orange county ;
it is independent in politics, we'll edited
and geographically one of the neatest
papers on the coast. The Standard of
Santa Ana does not require its politics
to be mentioned other than noting that
Col. Dan Baker, the Democratic war
horse of the citrus belt, is it's editor, and
no greater assurance need be given of it's
value as public educator. The Orange
News is another exponent of Democracy
and is deserving Of special note as a
newspaper and as a party organ. The
Santa Ana Herald is Republican, as is
the Post at Orange, and the Gazette at
Anaheim, all excellent papers and we'll
edited. The Gazette is the oldest paper
in the county and one of the best. The
Journal at Anaheim and the Tribune at
Westminster are independent in poll.
tics, as they are in expression of public
questions of all sorts, and each, in con.
sequence, has large and increasing
constituency.

Worlds Fair Exhibit.


The board of trade of Santa Ana is
collecting and preparing for the worlds
fair at Chicago what will be one of the
grandest exhibits of fruits, nuts and
products of farm and garden to be
shown at that great exposition. The
writer was much interested in the COL
lection, and while inspecting it through
the courtesy of Mr.. M. J. Bundy, presi-
dent OF the board of trade, and Mr.. j.
G. Joplin, superintendent in charge OF
collecting and preserving the products,
induced those gentlemen to have a
photograph taken of "a little corner of
the cellar" The photograph was duly
taken and forwarded the HERALD, which
presents handsome cut taken from it.
Artifice in all the intricacies discovered
by chemists is being employed in pre-
serving the products that are being
daily received from all over the county,
and the versatile brain and excellent
tact of Mr.. Joplin is being equally
taxed to the end that the exhibit will
surpass all others in attractiveness. Not
only are fresh fruits in their natural
state being collected, but preserved and
dried fruits, jellies and jams, and mar
malades from the preserves of the
housewives are feature, while vegeta-
bles of all sorts, peanuts on
their native vine, walnuts, cere-
| als--in fact, every product OF
orchard, farm and garden grown in Or
ange county. Even the prickly pear
finds place; the olive on the parent
stem, picked, the oil product; bananas,
fruit and blossom; citrons, guavas, ju
jube berries, brook trout, almonds on
stem, are novelties, while it would take
a column to enumerate the different
products already gathered. Some nov.
elites in vegetables are: Cucumbers
weighing eight and nine pounds, and
bic plant as thick as ones wrist and over
a foot long, but four months from seed
The collection is being made carefully
and the work of preparing scientifically
and Orange county will have no occasion
to be ashamed of her exhibits

spirit for education, and he joined the
Fiity-ffth Illinois infantry, Douglass
brigade, and served under Sherman for
over four yeare, re enlisting to do so, and
was in every important action at which
that great general had command. Hon
.ors were not sought, except the veter.
ans scars still Bennett mustered out
as first lieutenant of company G, Fifty
fifth Illinois infantry veterans, in
August, 1866
Returning from the war Mr.. Bennett
took up his studies, entering upon o
course of law in the Chicago university,
but gave it up after two years, owing to
ill health. Returning TO his old home
at Deer Park, La Sale county, he taught
in the village schools until 1872, when
he married, and took up farming and
stock-raising, which he continued until
his removal to Nebraska, six years later.
At Arapahoe, Furniss county, Nebraska,
Mr.. Bennett embarked in the mercan.
tile business, which he followed during
his residence there.
Always independent, Bennett left the
Republican party with Greeley and ever
after trained with the Democrats until
the recent formation of the Peoples
party, of which he was one of the
founders. True, he accepted the nomi-
nation for assemblyman in Nebraska on

RAILROADS AND RESORTS.
The Great Kite-Shaped Track-Seacoas
and Mountain Resorts.

The Great Kite-Shaped Track-Seacoast
and Mountain Resorts.
Orange county has three systems OF
railway; the Southern California, the
great Santa Fe route whose famous
kite-shaped track gyrates in almost
every direction and to almost every
where; beside its San Diego line runs
through the valley, thence skirting the
shore OF the Pacific from San Juan by
the Sea to the southern queen, San
Diego, and on to Lower California. The
in operation through the Santa Ana val
lev as far as Tustin. The Santa Ana
and Newport railway, an abbreviated
edition and really a portion of the
Santa Fe system, extends through the
valley and across country from Santa
Ana to Newport landing and wharf, the
latter magnificent structure 1900 feet
long built out on an open roadstead.
Apropos of this harbor, for it can con-
sistently be termed such, while it is
an open roadstead there is popularity
about the current at the point where
this wharf was built-discovere by ac-
cident-in that there is no ground swell
sells drawing Is feet of water and carry
ing 100000 feet OF lumber can ap-
proach the wharf at all times and can
remain inside these neutral" waters
safely, as at the frst indication OF a
storm they can readily put to sea on a
moments notice without any possible
hindrance and without even the aid of a
tug.
In addition to this landing Orange
county's shore line possesses seven
other harbors of more or lees note,
namely: Anaheim landing and bay, in
the extreme northwest corner Of the
county; Old Newport landing, on New
port bay; Shell Beach; Laguna Rocky
Point; Arch Beach, and SAM uan-by
the-Sea. In the summer time the shore
line in the vicinity of these harbors is
white with the tents OF pleasure seekers,
while many handsome cottages hold
possession at the more picturesque
points.
There is not one Of these resorts by
the sea, nor in the hills and cafions on
the eastern border, but can be reached
from, say the center Of the county,
within two hours drive or on horse
back. AS to the higher altitude resorts
there are many picturesque and attract
i've places up Santiago and San Juan
cations, and the caiioncitos leading into
them.
The San Juan hot springs are noted
for their medicinal qualities and the
locality in which they are situated is as
grandly picturesque as one could de-
sire and the trip to them not tiresome
one. Madame Modjeska's Southern
California home is near the source OF

realized that principles which he advo-

Hon. Charles +. Bennett is native OF
Connecticut, but at the age OF years,

The raising of capons is profitable
branch OF the poultry industry, al
though it is little practiced on this coast
yet. In the eastern markets they bring
as high as 40 cents per pound. George
@. Dow, one Of the recognized authori-
ties on the subject, says: go be sue
cessful you must have confidence in
ability to do the work. Ii you go at it
with fear and trembling, are afraid to
give a little pain in order to prevent
future suffering, you had better not un-
dertake the job. If this fear or
dread, which l know to exist, could be
overcome, and people could be induced
to caponize their fowls, Thousands of
dollars might be added to the income OF
poultry raisers every year, as the value
of cockereis could be doubled. With
little practice one can easily caponize 25
cockerels in q forenoon.

There are not many, even of the peo-
pie of Orange county, who appreciate
the importance of this industry in their
midst, but the farmers and fruit-raisers
who now enjoy the benefits of such an
establishment in their midst would soon
miss it if removed. But there is no
danger of their permitting that, for the
orders now are SO ahead of possible Ca
pacity of the foundry and forge, lathes

Live stock growing is an important
industry in the billy portions of the
county. Sheep are pastured by thou
sands and are exceedingly healthy.
while the fleece is especially fine and
heavy. Cattle do better than in almost
any other locality; the young reach
maturity earlier and the breeding is
sure and safe owing, largely, to the ex-
cel!ence of the provender, which insures
rich milk and healthy haeh to the
mother, while the uniformity OF temper
ature insures against distempers
originating from sudden climatic
changes. AS to the breeding OF horses,
it is a practical fact that there is more
nerve and speed in the range horses OF
this billy country than is usually found
