OLIVES AND POETRY.
A Rhapsody on the sentims ntal Side Of
KsBching.

A Rhapsody on the sentime ntal Side Of
KsBching.
Pomona Progress The prosaic side
of olive culture in California is that it
has been a money making crop for four
or five years, ind that, as time advances
and the olives grown in this ctate are
sent east in larger quantities, the indus
try becomes more lucrative. There is
more attention now given to olives as
source OF horticulture revenue than
ever before. and the planting OF this
variety of fruit will be especially large
this season.
But there is poetic side to olive
growing as we'll, and any kind of arbnri-
culture which can appeal to both the
prosaic and the poetic side of OF mans
nature must be deemed singularly for
tunate. Sentiment, ii it be genuine
and healthy, lie as real as the multiple
cation table or the binominal theorem,
and it is an open question whether it ia
not often as valuable from the utili-
tartan standpoint.
There is something fanciful, some
thing oriental about the olive which lie
shared by no other tree unless it be the
fig tree or the cedars OF Lebanon. He
brew poetry. which we Enow best from
that wonderful collection, the Old Tests-
ment, is full of illusions and references
to the olive. David, the accepted
author of the Psalms, says, Il am like a
green olive tree in the house OF God"
jeremiah, the doleful prophet, says,
"rhe Lord called thy name green olive
tree, fair and of goodly fruit;" and
Hosea. foretelling the glory OF Israel,
says, His branches shall spread and
his beauty shall he as the olive tree"
Even in the New Testament. in the won
derful vision of John which we call the
revelation, of the two witnesses it is
said: these are two olive trees, and
the two candlesticks standing before the
God of the earth, and if any man will
hurt them fire proceedeth out of their
mouth and devoureth their enc miee."
A parallel has not infrequeutly been
drawn between the foothills of California
and the hill country of Palestine, and
the spread of the olive will increase the
similarity. The olive is a tree we'll
suited for the hills, for it grows with
very little soil and with almost no care.
1t is no exaggeration to say that the
time will come when the barren hill
sides and slopes will be clothed with
tue Ilcu kIoeu VI buo oiiVo. Wubu tue
now unused valley shall be made vocal
with the noise OF the olive press, and
when the oil of the dark green fruit
shall be as plentiful and in as general
use as 1T now is in Italy, Greece and all
the countries that border on the Med
iterranesn. II any country in the world
be the legitimate descendant of the
original land of the olive, it is this en-
pire by the western sea which we call
California.

ON TO THE QUARTZ.

The Southern Pacific's Proposed Extern
Mon rovia Messenger: A public meet
Duarte was held in Dramatic hall on
Wednesday evening. DR.. Wheeler was
elected chairman and j. W. Harvey Sec
rotary.
The object OF the meeting was stated
by W. N. Monroe. He said few weeks
ago he met at the depot here Messrs.
Huntington, Stubs, Hood and others
of the Southern Pacific Railway com
pany, and had driven these gentlemen
over the country as lar east as Glen
dora. These gentlemen were impressed
with the idea of an extension OF the
road along the foothills, to compete for
passenger and freight business with the
Santa Fe; but the company was not
building much road at the present time.
However, Mr.. Monroe had kept at them
and succeeded in getting a promise that
if the right of way was secured to them
they would extend the road as far as
John Scott's place. for the present.
Leaving the present terminus on
Shamrock avenue, slight curve ia
made to the south through the Brad
bury land, thence in a straight line
through the lands OF Messrs. Boden,
Blan, Moore & Wicks. Brown, Bittolph,
Mckee and Mrs. Crane, through the
townsight, and thence on through the
ranches of Msssrs. Stimson. Fowler,
Davis, Scott and others.
The right of way through the larger
portion of this property has already
been granted, but there remain some
pieces of land that the owners are not
willing the road should pass through,
notably that of Messrs. Boden, Blain,
Moore Il Wicks, Brown and Bittolph.
To a certain extent these properties
would be damaged, and the public can
not expect the owners thereof should
give the right of way as freely az those
whom it will not in the least injure.
1t is proposed to build two passenger
depots in Duarte. one on the Bradbury
property near E. H. Boden's; the other
on Highland avenue; also a freight
depot on John Scott'5 property.
Messrs. Douglass and Mckee of Du-
srte, and Bartle and Slosson of Monro-
via, were appointed committee to
cali upon the residents and ascertain
their wishes. As reply must be given
by Saturday night, 1t will be necessary
to act at once.
1t is the intention of the Southern
Pacific to relay their track between
here and Shorbs with 50-pound steel
rails. This will enable them to make
the time between here and Commercial
street depot in Los Angeles in about
thirty minutes, whereas it now takes
forty-five minutes-a saving of one
third ia the running time. Thursday q
train of fifteen cars of ties arrived and
were distributed along the line. This
work will probably be completed inside
of thirty days.

Goats, Jackets and capes are not grand
enough for some, and for these the word
wrap suggests at once something by
which the world may be made to realize
the paucity of expression of which the
former garments are capable. 1t some
times seems &C if the fashionable woman
etrove to etun observers by the richness
and elegance of her theatre or ball wrap,
go magnificent are these affairs. To the
less fortunate woman, whose coat or
cape does double, yea, triple duty, these
costly things sometimes seem to over
shoot the mark and stamp the wearer as
one who courts that prominence which
80 many seek to avoid. But often those
creations compel admiration by COM
bination of great expense and good
taste. Such an example is shown,
and the original of the second picture
was composed of shot Louis XIV bro
cade, bordered with sable and lined
with shot silk, with ruche of lace as
edging to the turned back fronts and
high collar Beneath it was dress in
sprigged gauze trimmed with ecru duch-
esse lace, and carried with it fan bag
in mirror plush, enriched with bullion
cypher and chenille tassels tipped with
beads. 1t is strong hearted woman
who, possessed at once OF love for
handsome dress and slender purse,
can view such things without feeling
some Sinking envy of their happy
owners. But splendor OF closks doesn't
denote clearness of conscience, nor
glorious apparel contentment of mind,
go there's some reason to be satisfied.
Yet how surely the memory reverts to
the story of Sir Reynard and the grapes
which roasted high.

These are made of seal, fit as trinity as
riding habit, and close down the front
with a double row of buttons set close
together and the same distance apart
all the way down. They are cut short
all around with the least little dip to
the front, making slight point below
the waist there. They are turned away
at the throat in couple OF coat revers,
but these may be doubled over
close to allow the bo'sun to
be buttoned snugly to the throat.
The sleeves are baggy all the way from
the shoulder and are cut in a long
rounded point that comes we'll over the
hand. This point is not over the back
of the hand but leaves the hand free at
tine little finger and covered to almost
the tip OF the thumb. This cut secures
the showing of the handsome lining OF
the coat. The mode is so very dressy
that it is likely to be copied in the COM
ing summer outing gown and take the
place of the much wearied Elton. At
present it is quite exclusive.
Another design borrowed from the
navy is literal blouse of Persian lamb
or seal. 1t opens with widely turned
back sailor collar that reaches quite
across the shoulders in the back. An
inner yoke fitted about the throat shows
in front, and over the blouse is worn
wide leather belt with solid looking
clasps. 1t ia very good copy, the
designer insists, of the belt worn by the
French sailor when in Landing order"
1t has little pocketbook to the left of
the front, and at the right side fat
card case. These attachments are
made on the belt and do not hang
from it. On the sailors coat from which
the model is made, these attachments
appear for the carrying of cartridges,
etc. The blouse is drawn down smoothly
and held in place bv the belt, extends
below it for few inches and then turns
under in regular blouse fashion. 1t is
needless to point out that only very
slender woman may wear euch a gar
ment. The sleeves are very wide from
shoulder to wrists, the arm holes being
very big 1t is. of course, due to the
very clever notifications of the original
to it's present use, that secures the gar
ment from baggy effect. AS it is, it
bears the stamp of originality and ex-
treme modiHhness. y

Santa Paula Chronicle: The follow
ing are the particulars of the accident
last Friday in Goods oil tunnel, Salt
marsh canon. this county. David Lamb
and Will Coutts, both unmarried men
of Santa Paula, went to work az usual
after breakfast. They were $40 feet
from the mouth of the horizontal shaft.
Both had candles to enable them to see
their work. They had not been work
ing long before the sulphuric gas be-
came ignited, followed by an explosion
and flame OF fire enveloping them.
Lamb was the more seriously burned
OF the two men. His face, head, hands,
side and back were badly scorched, and
Coutts suffered mainly in the face, neck
and hands. Fortunately no injury to
the eyes was sustained by either man.
Coutts got out and gave the alarm when
telephone message was sent to town
for physicians. Both the injured men
were in due time conveyed to Santa
Paula. Mr.. Coutts is at the residence of
bis sister, Mrs. N. 0. Say, and Mr. Lamb
is being taken care of at the Cottage
hotel. While they are painfully and &C.
riously burned, yet with proper care
they will fully recover in due time. II

the skirts are invariably single and not
extraordinarily full. One shoulder
cape, hardly more than collar, is worn
usually of the pattern which has
high collar made in one piece with the
cape. Such coats are of cloth in all
dark shades and usually in smooth
goods. the cape and collar edged with
dark fur. This and the same design
braided, constitutes the coat which will
be the popular one for the late winter
and spring. 1t is just this element OF
popularity, however, that constitutes
an objection in the minds of many,
therefore new designs are appearing
constantly. The model in the first il
lustration is one that has gained gener-
al favor. 1t is made OF magenta melton
and fur trimmed. Its large spreading
collar is composed of Russian fur and
the skin extends to edge the fronts. A
narrow band of it, too, finishes the
sleeves. This coat is tight-fit ting in
back and loose in front.
In many of the new models which
have not yet been generally worn,
skirts are done away with altogether,
and military effects are revived.
Double-breasted jackets fit in trim mill
tary fashion to the hips, and are made
of heavy dull cloth in rough finish. A
feature of the double breasted effect is
that the two rows of buttons run close
together at the collar and waist and
spread over the bust. thus adding to the
effect of roundness of figure.
Jackets are also shown in cloth fitting
closely to the waist. A round skirt fit
ting without fulness is added. reaching
Just over the hips and extending all
around to the front, where the corners
are cut away sharply almost to the hips.
