PROLIFIC ORANGE YIELD.

Occasionally, as mere matter OF curl
osity, the HERALD has cared to indulge
in some speculations as to the profits
which attend the raising of citrus fruits
in Los Angeles and adjoining counties.
We have sometimes been little averse
to mentioning some of the fanciful fig
ures-so they would be accepted--that
have come to our knowledge as attend
ant upon the highly poetical business of
surrounding your home with orange
trees. For instance, we once told the
story OF the experience OF old Mr.. Dali
ton in the city limits OF Los Angeles,
who sold from a quarter OF an acre Of
mature trees $500 worth of oranges in a
single year. This was in the southern
portion of Los Angeles, and doubtless
that year the f t was exceptionally
fine, and the prices unusually salts
factory. But it would compensate man
for good deal OF time and trouble to
get q return like that from two or three
acres. In Riverside some extraordinary
results have been achieved, in special
cases, quite up to Mr.. Dalton's standard,
in fact. We have always had grave
doubts az to whether the city of Los
Angeles is specially adapted to the pro-
duction of the best quality of oranges,
especially since the great real estate
craze of 18S6-S7 and preceding years led
to general neglect of the trees. But,
notwithstanding our views, facts occa-
sionally reach US that show how aston
ishing the opportunities Of profit are.
We adverted the other day to the state
ment OF Mr.. Dick Kerens, the president
of the Terminal railway, in speech
made on his return to st. Louis from a
trip to Los Angeles. to the effect that q
single acre in Southern California might
be made to yield two or three carloads
of high grade products for trip across
the continent, while it often re-
quired dozen acres or more to return
an available carload for a slight distance
in the states east OF the Rocky noun
tains. We have now in view a case pre-
cisely in point. Mr.. Thomas Langdon
has an orange orchard in the city Limits
of Los Angeles. near the Vernon district
He has had the good sense to CAREFUL.
attend to his trees. He thinks that
producer which can yield such heavy pc
cuniary returns is worthy of his atten
ton. As result, his mstured tree
| will yield about three thousand orange

AN INTERESTING EXHIBIT.
The Mission Association Display to
Open Tomorrow.

The Mission Association Display to
Open Tomorrow.
The exhibition of the Mission associa-
ton. which opens tomorrow at 22l
South Broadway, promises to be very
interesting affair. The large room is
being decorated with basketry and bril-
liant hued blankets, and the historical
relics will be as great an attraction to
our own citizens SIS to the tourists visit
ing our city.
The object of this association is one
that appeals to all Californians, the old
mission buildings being one of the
greatest attractions to the travelling
public, and the effort to preserve them
from utter ruin deserves the hearty
support of all.
There is to be an attractive pro-
gramme every evening during the exhi-
bition, with fine stereopticon views and
entertaining descriptions of the trips
made by members Of the society.

The promotion of Lieutenant Dapray
to the position of paymaster in the
army with the rank of major and the
salary of $4,000 per annum is greeted by
the Los Angeles "400' with enthusiastic
empressement. Perhaps there is no
officer in the army who has won more
laurels in leading german VIGOROUSLY
across the deadly floor or in heading the
grand march of ballroom in its bold
reconnaissance at the opening festivities
of a soiree dansante. When he was
here on the staff of General Miles he was
distinguished as master of society ETH
quette, and by his exquisite conven-
tionality in dress and his GOODNESS and
bravery in charging the social side
board or the festive table. he was
the cynosure of all eyes. He has
passed the Rubicons OF several winters
in Washington, and society there has
acclaimed him as the conquering hero
of it's routs and social Functions. 1t is
not too much to say thatthe recognition
of the young lieutenant's trsnscending
merits by promotion to height whic a
actual field service on the frontier OF
forty years rarely attains, will elevate
him to the position of dangerous riva
to Ward McAllister. He wears an over
coat all bedizened with frogs and
bullion, and that's something in his
favor,

4 The association for the preservation of
The California missions will open their
exhibition today in Potomac block. The
contributions that will be on displsy at
this exhibition, consisting of all kinds Of
curious and rare old California collec-
lions. as well as great variety of other
interesting relics, ought to insure large
attendance OF the public. The design of
the association is the noble one of re-
storing and preserving the old California
mission buildings. The historical inter
est which attaches to these buildings,
marking as they do the genesis of Chris
tianity and civilization in this state,
ought to excite in every California breast
adeep interest in preserving them against
the inroads and decay of time. Unless
this Is done soon, they will, like al
things, pass away forever to mingle with
the common dust.

WE HAVE rece ived g letter from 60
iourner in Los Angeles who takes issue
with our send.off to the correspondent
of the Chicago Inter-Oc can, whom We
took the liberty of calling wild ASS
on His Travels" While we recognize
some strong points in our correspond
ent's letter, we must still be permitted
to adhere to our original judgment.
This man rushed into Southern Califor-
mia and, without any Ifs or butts, pro-
nounced our climate fraud. In doing
this he achieved the feat which Dog
berry asked somebody else to do for him
he wrote himself down an ass of a
most sublimated character. In attest
ing the climate OF Los Angeles we noted
the facts that tube-roses, camelias, hello
tropes and hundred other delicate
flowers bloom here in the open air all
the year through, in midwinter as in
midsummer, and we, might add
that at least some of our people
60 down to Santa Monica and Redondo
and take plunge in the Pacific ocean

sixty five, enjoy their swim and are ben
Gifted by it. That tells the whole story

THERE is little doubt that the consti-
tutional amendment to be submitted to
the people, requiring the legislature to
bring ths subject of county division un-
der uniform general law, will be
passed. This anne 1dment will take the
subject of the creation of new counties
out of the legislative arena and provide
a method by which the people
can decide for themselves this irritat-
ing question in their own counties.
Such law will prove great relief tt
Legislatures, and obviste bitter contro-
versies in the counties subject to
division.

THB NEW pEsP-SEA HARBoR.

We are still INDUCING in the hope
that the report of the engineers COM
mittee. recommending the construction
OF deep-sea harbor at San Pedro, will
bear fruit before tho close of the present
congress, in the shape of granting the
initial installment of q continuous ap-
preparation aggregating 100000. The
present and rapidly growing maritime
trade of Los Angeles and her extensive
and rich back country is entitled to this
recognition from congress.
In a national sense the projected har-
Dor becomes one of prime necessity
when we consider its Importance to the
trade of the whole country. Congress
has already appropriated $11 100000 to
supply Galveston with a harbor which
will accommodate the largest class of
vessels in the Atlantic ocean. The COM
plement to the new harbor of Galveston
will be the recommended harbor at
San Pedro. These will give our over
land traffic the shortest route on our
own territory between the two oceans,
and lessen the time of transportation
between the Orient and islands of the
Pacific to eastern points and Europe two
or three days. This is matter of no
trihing Importance in these days of
rapid communication. In the tea trade
of China, even much greater economy
in time can be made, and the advanta-
ges of the Suez canal can be annihi-
lated, as factors in this trade with
Europe, by the creation of the new har-
Dor at San Pedro.
The merchants of Los Angeles have
become intensely alive to the Importance
of our situation to develop an immense
maritime commerce at this point. This
was shown in the alacrity with which
men representing 500 900, 900 OF our mer-
camille capital entered upon the project
Of inducing the Pacific Mail company to
make Los Angeles a place of call for
their Panama steamers. With harbor
deep enough to accommodate the largest
vessels these same merchants would en-
bark extensively in maritime ventures.
laoy WOulQ et6lb llHOb VI bbChhoi5 III
the Polynesian trade and reach out for
the traffic of Mexico, Central America
and South America. The customs du-
ties collected at our port would coon
send back into the federal treasury all
the money that had been spent to con-
struct the new harbor.
We have said that We still indulge in
the hope that the present congress will
insugurate the work by making the in
itial appropriation. If, however, we are
disappointed in this,we feel assured that
the congress which commences on the
4th of March will come to our relief.
Senator White will take hi. seat in that
congress, and we are satisfied he will
prove tower OF strength in that body
to secure for his home section this and
all other reasonable appropriations.
1t will be new and strsnge feeling
that will take possession of US when wt
realize that for the frat time we have .
representative in the highest branch o.
congress who is one OF US in fact, sn(
who knows all our wants and will feel
personal interest in seeing that the,
have fair hearing and proper treat
