We hope to see cannery in full opera
ton here this fall, and if it should be it
will be owing to the commendable and
praiseworthy efforts of our board OF
trade, composed of indefatigable work
ers for the common good.
NOTES.
The annual business meeting OF the
Presbyterian church was held at the
church building on Thursday night.
All the the reports indicated most
prosperous condition. J. +. Cumber-
land and Harry Abbott were elected el-
ders; w. M, Woody and n. H. Vincent
were elected deacons and DR.. Coates

The Sunset Telephone company has
eleven men putting up poles and wires
for the line to Riverside. The line is
direct to Riverside from Pomona via
Chino. The poles are already up to
Chino and the heavy copper wire is
being rapidly put up.
A stock company has been formed at
Lor0sburg for the establishment of an
institute for the cure of dipsomnia and
the opium habit. The originator of the
Lordsburg scheme is Mr.. Larkin, who is
conducting a similar institute in Ne
braska.
The young people of this city will en-
Joy more than usually pleasant social
dance on the 14th instant at the opera
house.
The opera house was crowded last
night to witness the first presentation of
the Confederate Spy by local talent. Its
splendid success was due largely to the
efforts of Manager Lorbeer. The play
throughout was full of exciting interest
and thoroughly realistic.
J. e. Kindig of the Lordsburg South
ern Californian was in town yesterday.
Rolla and Orrin Allison left Thursday
for Tombstone, A. T.
r. s. Bassett is home again, and his
scores of friends were glad to greet him
on the streets after his long and serious
illness. Bassett is a hustler, and his
absence from business circles is pain
fully felt.
w. M. Woody went to Arch Beach
yesterday.
Bert Ray left for the east over the
Santa Fe yesterday.
Dead! The Lordsburg mining boom.

GUS orchards is over. Two spraying out

less than one.fourth of the trees of the
valley. More spraying was done this
year than ever before, owing to the en-
ergetic and efficient persuasion of our
horticultural guardian, j. B. Atkinson.
Ben is on deck at all hours and is omni-
present in his efforts to keep down and
keep out insect pests. He is the right
man in the right place. All orange
stock from Florida is being fumigated
with the gas treatment and then dipped,
so as to thoroughly destroy all scale and
pest germs.
The Confederate Spy was greeted with
a crowded house on both evenings of its
presentation. The cast of characters
under the management Of j. w. Lorbeer
was a strong one and each part was
played as if by an old hand at the bust
ness and acquitted themselves with
credit. Miss Carrie Lorbeer as south
ern belle was a decided success, G. H.
Marshall as Sockery Schindlebecker,
the drafted Dutchman, brought down
the house, and in fact, the whole per-
formance did full credit to the we'll
known versatility of Pomona's local
talent.
One of the proudest men in all this
county is Louis Phillips, the why of
which is that he is the grandfather of a
handsome girl, the newborn daughter
Of Mr.. and Mrs. A. F. George.
Another splendid rain Friday night
and Saturday morning.
A scrapping match took place yester-
day evening between Charles Hutchin-
son and Mr.. Mitzker. on the sidewalk.
Mitzker was little worse of the wear,
and Hutchinson paid fine.
