LONG BEACH, jan. 2l.--There will be
"histus" in the completion OF the
wharf, as work has been suspended and
the wharf builders have gone back to
San Francisco, and will not return here
for month or more. The reason IS that
the last shipload Of piles were found to
be a "misft." The structure now pro-
iects out in the bay 1400 feet, and 1t Will
take 200 feet more to make hnlsh.
There is q well settled opinion among
our people that the structure will prove
great attraction and be the means OF
drawing to this beautiful place tnat
large class OF our best people VINO are
inclined to aquatic amusements. IL is
the yachtman's ideal racing course-a
magnificent expanse of water, just swell
enough to be exciting but never dan
gerous. and breeze enough to speed the
yachts along at q gait that is only llm-
tied by the amount of canvas carried or
the nerve Of the skipper in command
Fishing from the end of the pier IS eX-
cellent, and many succulent rock bass,
sheephead and rock cod have been
sstaken out of the wet," and their flavor
has been pronounced by our expert local
gourmets as the finest in the world.
The Columbian year promises 70 be
one of prosperity for our farmers ana
orchardists. Realty is in demand and
thousands of acree are planted TO the
cereals, and fruit, deciduous and citrus,
having passed the stage OF experiment
is now being planted by the oEchordists
in quantities that will shortly, by their
income, assure them a competence.
The Kelsey plums raised in this sec-
ton represent the county ia the Chicago
exhibit. and our lemons are beauties,
with more juice and better favor than
lemons raised elsewhere.
The nursery stock has been in great
demand all season, L G Butler having
shipped thousands Of young trees to the
interior to eupply the want.
