Gus one, and that the bevy of light
hearted and fashionable people congre-
gated there enjoyed its spaciousness and
themselves to the utmost is attestsd bY
the fact that they ''tarriedv until 2
O'Clock.
The Mandolin club furnished the
music.
The house was beautifully decorated,
and altogether it was one of the most
delightful parties given this season.

their presence to the occasion. The as.
semhlage was of Pomons's most fash
ionable and consisted principally OF the
young ladies and gentlemen of the Ten

the accused induced J. H. Waddington
OF Ontario to buy lot of typewriters
and make Mcintosh his agent for selling
them, proving to Mr.. Waddington's sat-
isiaction that they could both make
good money in the business. Mcintosh
sold machine to Geo. i. Henry of this
place, receiving pay in full and receipt
ing for it. In accounting to his employer
for the machine, he kept back $25 of the
money and handed in in it's stead a
forged note and contract for that amount.
he says it is his first offense, and that
he intended to take up the note and
contract before they should become due,
but Mr. Waddington happened to come
to Pomona and discovered the fraud be-
fore IL was covered up.
The demand for citrus trees has been
very great this year. The nursery men
are about all sold out of apricot stock N
particular. The price has advanced to
Is cents per tree.
In the olive industry it is about the
same way. Trees which were sold at
cents ct the beginning of the season
bring much higher price now.
The Progress says: The demand for
olive trees has been greater than for any
other variety OF nursery stock, and Po-
mona is the recognized center OF the
olive nursery business.
The Progress further says that nur-
sery men would have sold just as many
trees and realized a good deal more
money from them if they had main
tanned uniformly higher prices.
