rhs River Bed to BE Strengthened.
Vineyards Doing Well.
SANTA ANA, Sept. 12.-Orange county
has never been in q more prosperous
condition than at the present time.

day In regard to the river matter was
wise one, and is heartily approved by
all. Fifteen thousand dollars will be
spent in cleaning and strengthening the
channel and preventing overhows.
The territory which has heretofore
been overhowed is the richest part OF

completing the work will come back in
increased productions the first year.

large force of men, and the money will
be circulated at home.

this season--the largest in the history
OF the county. A million dollars will
be received from the barley crop alone.

and from $50, 900 to 100000 will be re-
ceived from this source. Next year

factory of her own.
Despite the fact that croakers say the
vine disease is still here, 1t is fact
that the vineyard industry never looked
better. Many wineries are at work
making wine this year.

times, only equalied by the boom days.
