1t Celebrates Its sixteenth Ami
vereary Most Pleasantly.
Naomi Chapter. Order of the Eastern
Star. last night celebrated its sixteenth
anniversary, very large number being
present, many being visitors from
other Chapters. The Chapter-room had
been most tasteiully decorated by the
ladies, and was perfect bower of
beautiful flowers and plants. arranged in
wreaths ana bouquets as well as in the
form of emblems pertaining to the order.
Several candidates were initiated. The
" orthy Grand Matron. Mrs. Emma II Hop-
good. Of Marysville was present. Mrs.
Crawford of Marshall Chapter, Willows;
Miss Berger of Aztec Chapter, Mrs.
Stowell OF Hesperia Chapter, Mrs. Hitch
cock of Arcana Chapter, and Mrs. Rickes
OF Dutch Flat Chapter were among the
visitors. After the work had been en-
emplified the Chapter was closed and all
repaired to the banQuet-hall.
FIVE tables were there arranged in the
shape OF five-pointed star. the EN- mblem
of the order. Both the tables and the
room were beautifully decorated with
potted plants and cut flowers, tastefully
arranged. While the flowers might have
been the most beautiful things upon the
tables, they were not more alluring than
the profusion of viands with which the
board was spread. judging from the ap-
probation shown to the latter by the
guests. The hall, which has been newly
frescoed. is beautiful when lighted up.
Worthy Patron L. B. Willis acted as
Master of Ceremonies, and after the
guests had done justice 10 the good things
prepared, Messrs. Hornlein, Wizard, Stitch,
Bergman and Lawson responded to calls
for remarks, and Mrs. e. B. Willis and
Miss Davis sang charming duet, which
was heartily encored. The assembly
voted the occasion a most enjoyable one.

CONDITIONS FAVORABLE.
Prospect of Resumption of Business 4
ALI Lines.

Prospect of Resumption of Business in
ALI Lines.
Henry Clews of New York thus sums
| up the present outlook for resumption
of business throughout the country:
In this country the conditions favor
able to a revival of business are especi-
ally important The past twelve months
OF depression have been due almost en-
tlrely to artificial and accidental causes.
and not to any general intrinsically un-
sound conditions of trade. The first con-
tributon to the depression was a pure
and simple money scare, the cause of
which has already been removed by the
Repeal Act. The next cause was a con-
templated change IN the productive and
competitive conditions of domestic in
dustrles, which, for so long as it remained
undetermined, produced a general col
lapse of production and contraction of
consumption. But those consequences
have produced an unprecedented depe-
ton OF stocks OF manufactured products.
SO soon. therefore, as the new tariff duties
are legaliZed, what is there to prevent a
resumption of normal activity in every
branch OF business, the consequent gem
eral employment OF labor, and an attend
ant increase of consumption by the
masSes2
The only cause of deferment of this re-
CONOly tudI Cdu .D6 I6dSODaDly suggested
IS the possibility that work kmen may hesi-
tate to yield the concessions in wages
made necessary by the lower duties and
therefore lower prices. AS to that, it can
only be said that already labor has con-
ceded important reductions in wages,
while the process of adjustment is still
going on, and the real question seems to
be, not whether wages will be reduced at
all, but whether the concessions will
equal the demands of employers. 1t is
reasonable to expect that, when labor
more fully understands the necessity for
lower wages and finds that it is being COM
pensated by correspondingly lower costs
of living, there will be no great difficulty
in affecting an equitable readjustment of
the scale of wages. While, therefore, it
is possible that some complaint may be
heard of the stubbornness of the wage
earning classes, yet that is likely to prove
only transient obstacle to a complete re-
covery of business.

FRUIT CROP PROSPECTS.
Crop and Prices Both Likely to be
Good.
Some of the Growers Give Their Views
on the Outlook for This
Season.

Having published last week interviews
with all the leading fruit shippers of the
city on the outlook for the fruit business
this season, the RECORD UNION asked
several leading fruit-growers for their
views. The following replies have been
received:
TYLER ISLAND, May 5. 1884.
EDS. RECORD UNION | have received
yours of the 4th inst. making inquiry as
to present prospects for the fruit crop on
the river. / feel satisfied that we Will
have the largest crop we have ever mad,
and that the quantity will be choice TAX
ing all things into consideration, we be-
lieve we will get for same two cents per
pound net on our landings. Yours truly,
JOHN MILLER.
WALNUT GROVE, May >, 1891.
EDS. RECORD UNION: In this section
most varieties of fruit trees promise an
abundant yield, and where properly
thinned the fruit ought to be as large as
usual. particularly II the river keeps at
its present hight for another month, as
the sipage from that source percolatlng
through the soil will furnish sufficient
moisture in most places to mature rea-
sonable crop.
The market outlook is favorable for
good prices, as there is no doubt that the
States is very light. Much depends, how
ever, on the manner in which the crop is
handled. If the railroad companies Will
deliver our fruits to the Eastern cities IN
anything like passenger-train time, the
California fruit-growers can send large
proportion OF their products in ventl-
lated cars, and save the extra expense OF
using refrigerators, for the difference IN
cost between the two styles OF cars viii
yield handsome profit 10 the grower.
OF course with some tender fruits, such as
cherries, apricOts, peaches and some va
rieIies of plums, the refrigeraters are the
most suitable; otherwise the chances
would be against delivering In good ORDER
that class of fruit TO such distant markets
as New York, Boston, etc.
With the increased number OF COM
mission houses preparing to engage IN
the business of shipping fruit East this
season, there is considerable danger that
the fruit may not be judiciously dis
tributed, as some markets are liable TO be
glutted, whilst others may not receive
anything like the quantity of fruit that
could be sold to advantage.
Another danger is, that in place of con-
centrating all the fruits tor sale in one or
two auction houses in each city, and hav-
ing all the dealers attend those sales, the
fruit may be divided amongst so many
auctions that few buyers will be present
at each sale and competition be anything
but brisk. However we hope for the
best, and believe we will realize good
prices during the whole season.
The fruit crop being so light East will
probably stimulate tho Gamers in this
State to put up a larger pack than usual.
and also create brisk demand for dried
fruits during the next twelve months. so
altogether, l believe the outlook for Cali
fornia fruit-growers to be very encourag-
ing. Yours truly,
A. T. J. REYNOLDS.

"A Drunken Rowdy Makes an Attempt
on His Life.
What might have been very serious
affair occurred on lower l. street last
night.
Officer Talbot attempted to arrest a man
named w. c. Saterwhite, who was rais-
ing disturbance there, when the Of
fender endeavored to shoot the officer
with a 3S-caliber pistol. Had it not been
for the man being drunk he would have
no doubt carried out his purpose.
In endeayoring to disarm Saterwhite
the officer had a pin on the latter's necktie
driven into his right hand between the
thnm and index finger, causing a very
painful wound.
When being searched Saterwhite made
the remark that it was a good thing ho
was drunk when he was arrested, for if
he had been sober he would have killed
Talbot.
One of the women told the officer that
the prisoner endeavored to persuade her
to assist him i'll drugging rancher in
order to rob him. She refused to accede
to Saterwhite's request, and fearing that
he would injure her, she became fright
ened and informed Talbot of what had
occurred.

The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They will be sold in
subdivisions, as above indicated, by the pay

time the purchaser can begin the payment of
principal by paying the first of five equal an

eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sured that this is an opportunity to purchase
land of fair average quality at SO per acre,
and good agricultural land at $50 an acre,
with other grades Of land at prices to CORE

The assertion is frequently made that good
lands, suitable for general farming. and es-

EX-SENATOR JOHNSTON.
He Takes Hopeful View of the Fruit
Situation.


Situation.
Ex-senator William Johnston was up
from his river orchard near CORTLAND on
Wednesday, and in conversation with
RECoRD-UNIoN reporter regarding the
outlook for fruit crops, said:
''The outlook is good-it is excellent
There will be fair crops of all varieties of
fruit in the district along the river, where
droughths cannot injure the orchards, nor
even the grain fields, because the spring
treshes keep the river high and there is
abundant sub-irrigation during the
months the crops are maturing.
1.-The pear, peach and apricot crops are
especially good, and the market value of
the fruit promises to be much better than
last year. Parties are already in the
field contracting for crops, and many
orchardistS have sold the product of their
orchards at good prices in advance.
Commission houses also have their agents
out soliciting commissions on cOnsign-
ments of fruit.
Indeed. L regard the outlook for nearly
the whole OF Sacramento County this
year as very encouraging. Even the
grain crops are not as poor as | have seen
them, despite the long drought and severe
north winds. At least the summer fall
lowed land will yield fairly WELL The
heads OF grain are not large, but the grain
appears to be of good quality. If the dry
north winds should give way to moist
laden ones from the south we will have a
pretty fair yield. 1 am really surprised
that crops OF all kinds look so we'll.
Sacramento is much better off than
most other counties, because of her di-
versiied agricultural and horticultural
industries. You see, our farmers raise
fruits of all kinds, berries, hay, barley,
wheat, ETC., and also pay considerable at
tention to dairying, poultry-r raising, pork
culture and other industries that can
always be relied upon to pay fairly well.
Concerning fruit shipments to the
East, the conditions are better this year
than heretofore. The railroad companies
are giving US better facilities than ever
that is, we can send cur fruit East at last
years rates. but it will be landed there
in much less time, and without extra cost.
Time, you see, is money to the fruit
grower, for many a consignment has
been lost by being too long on the road.
cherries are now coming in freely,
and heavy shipments will be made right
along. Apricots Will be in market in
about three weeks, and from that time
until next October California will have
miles of cars on the road daily between
here and the East. loaded with the prod
ucts of her orchards and vineyards.p
