CARE OF GROVES FOR NON-RESI-
DENTS.

Being a non resident I suppose the care
1.-THE grove) received was not quite what
one would do himself" Thus subscriber
writes and it is but the feeling of hundreds
of others who have ventured into orange
culture while living in some distant state.
The nonresident must necessarily labor
under some disadvantages in the care of
his grove over the man who lives amid the
trees, but if he manages properly there
need be no serious drawback on this &C.
count.
1t costs nonresident apparently more
to bring up grove than if he were on the
place, for if he were on the ground there
are many little things that he would do,
but are so small he would not count them.
With the man who cares for the groves his
time is his capital and while half hour or
hours time now and then is but little it all
counts and he has to charge for it and the
grove owner should not object Ito paying
it. On the other hand there are grove
owners who pay literally for all that is
done and are ready to do all that is neces-
sary who have been ''tleeced" by grove
tenders and when they expected to see a
grove in fair shape they are disappointed
with poorly cared for property. The
only remedy we can suggest for the latter
is to change men. Hire someone who is
not interested in the welfare of the grove
tender to visit the property and make a
report of the conditions. If the grove
tender is doing honest work he will court
such visits and the result will be that the
nonresident will get the value of his money
and the honest grove tenders will get more
work by having the dishonest men weeded
out
Again non-residents get poor results
through their own neglect. They are
spasmodic in the care of their grove. One
year they will have plenty of fertilizer ap-
piled and the proper cultivation given, then
their fever will die down and for another
year or maybe two they will scarcely fur,
nish enough money to keep up the fences
yet when they come to visit their property
J or some one writes of its condition they are
usually very much put out and wonder if
an honest man can be found to take care
of groves.
At this time many are wondering if it
will pay to bring up the groves again. In
reply to this we would say that if you are
not able to bear the expense for few years
to keep the grove, ETC., in good shape il
would be better to drop it entirely and

OF the above firm California paper says: "It
seems strange that such a large proportion of

general impression among the growers is that
they got all the cream and the grower gets only
skim milk. and watered at that. Somebody is
wrong" 1t seems to us that we have faint
recollection of the name in connection with the

tinuance of the export trade was laid at our

this time?

THE question of good roadsi is receiv-
ing more and more attention all over the state
and the most enthusiasm is felt where good
roads have been made and their real value de-
termined. The Industrial American recently
published an exhaustive article on good roads
and concluded as follows: "As to the financial
policy of the state aiding in building good roads,
there seems to be little question. But strange
to say, there are some individuals in every COM
munity, even among farmers, who ore opposed
to any state aid legislation. To such the fol-
10 wing extracts from the New Jersey commits
sioner's report is respectfully presented. The
commissioner says when the first state aid bill
was presented it met most opposition from
farmers but since the roads have been built these
men have become the warmest advocates of the
system. Why not, when their farms, heretofore
a drug on the market, upon the completion OF
improved roads, become salable at an advance
in price of from $40 to $50 per acre %

It.issffot mere scofncidence that these
two events should come together. The
Catholic church is historic church as
well as one of promise. Its face Is set
toward tne future, but the church never
forgetsFS1 glorious past. Here Is the
very substance OF things for which We
hope, and Is also the glory Of things that
now are and have been.
The church stands like q giant tree
that uphfts and throws it's arms toward
heaven, and which flourishes in its life,
giving sunlight and balmy breezes.
But the storms may arise, the rains
pour down in torrants, the gales attack
it and all in vain to its detriment. Its
foundations are firmly fixed in the past
and the harder the gales and attacks,
the more is added to her strength and
sustenance.
The grand old church looks forward
with hope and security. 1t has no fear
of what may come, no anxiety about the
future, because her feet are set in the
rock of ages, and so sure as there is a
God in heaven they never can be moved.
So today when we celebrate the men,

down Main street to the cathedral, en-
tering by the main door.
AS the procession entered the portals,
the ecclesiastics came down from the
altar, garbed in their robes Of office, to
greet the bishop.
This was an impressive sight. Some
wore the somber habiliments Of the
Franciscan order, while others were at
tired in robes of great elegance. The
chimes of cathedral bells also added to
the solemnity Of the occasion.
AS the bishop entered, Vicar General
Adam, preceded by the alcolytes and a
priest bearing aloft q huge silver cross,
advanced from the altar and met the
episcopal cortege.
They then proceeded to the altar with
the bishops party, the choir singing the
Te Deum.
AS he entered the altar, the bishop
sank to his knees while the vicar gen.
eral in Latin invoked a blessing upon
the new primate and his work.
To the left was the Episcopal throne,
and at the conclusion of the prayer
Father McAuliffe conducted the bishop
to it. and amid the peals of the organ
and the music of the orchestra the Most
Reverend George Montgomery assumed
the seat.
The clergy and church officials then
passed before him and received his
blessing. They knelt. kissed his hand
and then resumed their stations.
Bishop Montgomery proceeded to the
main altar and celebrated pontifical
mass.
Rev. Father Peter C. Yorke then de-
livered the installation sermon.

the dog has the best Of blood in his

poor specimen Of his class and has q

Yesterday morning at about 1920
o'clock Louis Bryant, residing at $40
Wall street, who carries Herald route
No 1, was delivering papers and had
entered the Rogers block, at No. 217
New High street. Bryant entered the
main hall of the building and was pass
ing along it when he was suddenly at
tackled by a huge dog which he had not
before observed. The appearance of
the brute was so sudden, and his aspect
was so threatening, that Bryant started
to run. The animal pursued him, and,
overtaking him, fastened his fangs in
the sack of papers which was slung over
Bryants back.
Failing to get a good hold on this.
he took a fresh grab, and caught the

to protect himself as we'll as possible.
Assistance came in the person of Mr.
Yinnell of the firm of Yinnell & Morse,
who conducts commercial and detect

gether they beat the brute off and he ran
away.
Bryant was badly frightened. but
found that he had sustained no damage
to his person, although his coat had been
ripped into shreds and nearly torn from
his back. He at the time did not know
to whom the animal belonged, but was
informed that it was Otis dog by Mr..
Yinnell, who stated that Toro had been
hanging around there for some days
and was nuisance.
This last proceeding upon the part
of the dog is but one of a series of at
tacks he has made on different persons

as "cussed" as is to be found in any cur.
1t is but little over two weeks ago since
he took a sample chunk out of the
hand Of his master, who stopped to
caress him while the dog was doing.

snapped at them on various occasions,
and give him wide berth generally.

Most Reverend George Montgomery
was born in the Blue Grass state in
December of 1847. His mother died
when he was quite young, and he is es-

exertions, by his own tireless labor he
himself paid for all the expense at

fact. Our notions Of modern progress
often confuse us as to our duty to the
church.
1T is well to remember that the re-

do or progress suggest can abate sin

A BANQUET

The Bishop Receives Assurance Of Loyalty
From the Clergy and Lalty
After the services at the cathedral
had been concluded, representatives of
the clergy and the laity partook of a
banquet which was served at the bish-
ops residence.
There were present all Of the eccle-
siastics who have been previously
named, the six members of the laity
who bore the canopy, and Messrs.
Mooney, Donovan and Lombock, ush-
ers.
Right Rev. Father Meyer presided at
the banquet.
Rev. Father Hartnett Of East Los
Angeles delivered few remarks on
behalf Of the clergy. in which he assured
the bishop of the loyal cooperation Of
the priests in assisting him in the per-
formance of his duties.
On behalf of the laity, John Keneally
spoke as follows:
Right Rev. Bishop, Rev. Fathers
and Gentlemen: If could make suita-
BILE alterations in the well-chosen re-
marks Of my friend Father Hartnett,
/ believe that most Of what he has said
would apply to the laity as we'll as the
clergy.
s.'I feel greatly honored at being pres
ent with so many distinguished gentle-
men to enjoy the generous hospitality
of our esteemed bishop. My friends of
the laity and myself, to Judge from the
mannerin which we have disposed of the
good things supplied to the table, can
evidently appreciate what nourishes
the body as well as those intellectual
dishes which are intended for the food
Of the soul.
This being the public acceptance by
Bishop Montgomery of the sacred trust
bequeathed to him by the memorable
Bishop Mora, on the part Of the laity
heartily congratulate him on his ele-
walton to the episcopal dignity.
There is much to be said in connec-
ton withspriests and eloquence today,
that realize the folly Of attempting any
extended remarks. Moreover, 1t is not
necessary.
your laity, as well as your clergy, will
at all times respond to your cali and
aid your efforts for the welfare Of the
diocese.
Il do not know that I can wish you
anything better than that after very
many years Of profitable labor, when
age and good services entitle you to rest,
you may retire with the prayers and
directions Of your people, like your pre-.
decessor, and, like Bishop Mora, see
the mantle of authority descend on the
shoulders Of young man, in the prime
OF life, fully equipped. physically, In
tellectually and morally, to continue
the duties demanded by the Catholic
church from thosc in charge of the
spiritual welfare or the people,"
