FRUIT PAR-EXCELLENCE.

DR.. A. G. Simonton who has recent
ly removed from San Jose, California,
to Seattle has been spending some time
before settling down to business in
visiting various points in the Sound
country. Among others he has visited
the Bellingham Bay district and Orcas
island. The Doctor halls from one of
the greatest fruit growing centers on
the continent, namely, the Santa Clara
valley, California, which is the great
est prune producing center in the
United States, there having been ship
ped from Santa Clara county alone in
1865 100000 pounds of the dried
product. The prune raised there is
what is called the Petite, or French
pfune, which is the prune most large
~ used in the United States. The
doctor has been investigating orchards
and fruits produced in the Puget
Sound basin and particularly mas he
devoted attention to the italian prune.
He says:
s'1t has a delicacy of flavor far SUI
perior to the French prune of Cali
fornia. The French prune has no tart
ness whatever while the italian has
blending of acid and sugar that is very
pleasing to the palate. The Italian
prune is not raised in California be-
cause the climate is not adapted to it,
while the climate and soil here pro-
duce them to perfection. The italian
prune, if flavor is taken as criterion,
ought to supersede the French variety
III the market. 1t will only be neces-
sary for people to sample each to settle
the question. The yield here is i'm
mense, and it only requires proper
methods of curing and marketing to
make prune production on this north
west coast profitable industry. There
must be facilities for drying and con-
centrated and concerted action in mar
keting. Everything here is yet in its
embryonic condition as regards hand
ling and marketing fruit, while in
California everything has been system
atized to the last degree. Many things
are yet to learn on the part of fruit
growers here, and the sooner this
knowledge is acquired the better.
The Sound country is adapted to the
production of many excellent varieties
of fruit In which there should be large
profit. The italian and several other
varieties of prunes are produced to per-
lection. Plums of all varieties seem
to be in their native element here, as
do also pears and cherries. You raise
many excellent varieties of apples.
Your berries excel all competitors. L
cannot see why you may not call this
p fruit country par-excellence for such
ps are adapted to your climate. know
not what effect early rains may have
on some Of the later varieties of fruit,
but barring this, il it is . factor, this
country has bright future before it

PROMISES NOT FULFILLED.
John Churchill Arrested for Cruelty
to His Children.

John Churchill was arrested shortly
after o'clock yesterday afternoon by
Officer Healy for cruelty to his children.
He was taken before Judge Henry
and pleaded for an extension of time
for the hearing until next Friday,
which was granted bonds being fixed
at 5000
This is a case upon which the officer
has been working for months. Church
i'll is the father of eight children, rang
ing in age from to 10 years. AS long
as ten months ago and repeatedly since
the officer notified Churchill to remove
his children to some place where they
would not be contaminated by the inffu-
ences which surrounded them, the ac-
cused continually bringing to the house
the lowest Of characters, both male and
female
Rabbi Simon, Secretary of the Society
for Prevention of Cruelty to Children,
visited Churchill and pleaded with him
to remove the children, but in vain,
only promises that were never fulfilled
resulting.
Officer Healy continued working on
the case until he was certain he had
accumulated evidence necessary to con-
vict, and yesterday afternoon, as above
stated, placed Churchill under arrest.
Yesterday evening he had not succeed
ed in obtaining bonds.
Mr.. Healy has also been investigat-
ing the case of two children at Fair
Oaks, whse mother is sick and whose
father drinks and leaves them desti-
tute. He went there to bring them to
this city yesterday, but found that they
had already come here and he is now
looking them up.

ABORIGINES FEAST.
Red Jacket Tribe Adopts Number of
Pale Faces,

The regular meeting of Red Jacket
Tribe, No. 2S, Improved Order of Red
Men, held last evening, was an event to
be remembered, and to be placed in the
archives of the tribe as a red letter
affair.
To begin with thirty-seven pale
faces We're adopted into the tribe, and
there was not one single scapling op-
Grafton, although the war cries of the
Costumes and the Red Cloud warriors
mingled with those Of the Red Jackets,
the two former having been invited to
take part in the festivities of the oc-
casion.
After the pale-face youths had been
properly initiated into the mysteries
of the inner council, the members of
the three tribes adjourned to the
French restaurant, where a bountiful
banquet had been provided. and every
brave present, and there We're over a
hundred, did justice to the tempting
viands set before him. After the con-
clusion of the feast Great Sachem e.
f. Russell took the chair as toastmas-
ter, and the speech and the wine went
round. Toasts were called for and re-
sponded to as follows:
Good of the Order" Past Great
Sachem Charles E. Spencer.
The Cuban Question: Past Great
Sachem George Boyne.
The Ladies': God Bless Their
Hearts" Past Great Sachem J. J.
Buckley.
The New Members Past Great
Sachem J. p Counts.
IL was a late hour when the last
toast had been responded to- and the
Red Men, one and all, went to their
several lodges in the best of humors.

CALM BEFORE THE STORM.
An Outbreak in Chinatown Expected
at Any Time.

The Chinese highbinder societies in
this city have been very quiet since the
shooting of Eung All Chung last Sun
day-too quiet. ii is thought, to last
and if they are not crouching for a
spring at each others throats, those
who best understand the Chinese char
acter are widely mistaken.
1t was rumored few days ago that
the chief thugs of the Suey Ons and
the Fong Duck Tongs had been closet
ed together, and that the former came
up with a neat bag of gold to pay for
the murdered man and patch up
peace, but this is not generally believed
The Suey Ons have had streak OF
hard luck of late, and it is hardly prob
able that they would pay debt con-
tracted by one of their members in
money which could be wiped off the
slate by a fusillade of revolver bullets
when the Fong Duck Tongs were not
expecting it.
Yesterday was a heather holiday. and
the heather were celebrating. They
had a big eat and big drink, and sew
eral heather bands of music were ready
and willing to create pandemonium.
This outbreak however, was promptly
crushed out by Chief Drew, who fore
saw trouble, as it was understood that
the music co might be translated to
mean expressions of joy for the killing,
or threats and defiance against the
murderer of Eung All Chung.
The day passed, however, without an
outbreak, and quiet settled down over
Chinatown during the first watches of
the night.
The Chinaman who was recently ar
rested on suspicion of having killed
Highbinder Chung is still confined in
the City Prison.
