ATKROEGER'S HALL, CORRESPONDENCE Orange Items. The copious rains of the season thus far have given a lively impetus to the farming and horticultural interests as shown by the increased acreage being sown to the cereals, the planting of raisin grapes, and the setting to orchards of oranges, lemons and olives. Doubtless the lively demand and remunerative prices for our products aid largely in the general activity and buoyancy. The family of any in the county, unless it be the San Gabriel valley, and in every respect fully equal to that. The Parker boys say that my guessing was at fault in estimating the number of quail taken by them. They have averaged from 10 to 17 dozen per day thus far for the season and say that it pays better than oranges. Let those who are looking to locate a home and are fond of gunning make a note of the above, for although they need not expect to equal the Parker boys, who always excel in baseball and gunning, yet they will find in our adjacent canyons a plenty of game to tempt their sporting proclivities. On last Monday we were favored with another welcome rain. It set in about 2 P.M. and continued until sunset when the sky became clear and the weather grew cold. It makes us feel like moving farther south we can thaw out. During the day we寸 inch of rain and snow fell. Last Sabbath our R. R. agent sold 5 worth of tickets to witnesses in the trial K.J.Baldwin at San Francisco. Our age also shipping hay and grain out to the foothills to fill large contracts with the railroad, for the U.S. troops in Arizona Territorial Westminster Items. Two recent arrivals in this township have omitted to mention until now, a boy to the house of Kiefhaber, also one to house of Peters. Miss Leffler, a daughter of the Rev. Leffler, has lately arrived here from Orange Items. The copious rains of the season thus far have given a lively impetus to the farming and horticultural interests as shown by the increased acreage being sown to the cereals, the planting of raisin grapes, and the setting to orchards of oranges, lemons and olives. Doubtless the lively demand and remunerative prices for our products aid largely in the general activity and buoyancy. The real capabilities of Orange and its vicinity have not as yet been fully tested, but of this proposition there can be no question, that no section of country can be found where there can be grown side by side the fruits and productions of every clime, ranging from the north temperate to the south temperate and including the torrid zone, more perfectly than here. Our immunity from frosts, equability of temperature, free-don from abrupt climatic changes, and variety and richness of soil, favor alike the luxuriant growth of the banana and the apple, the orange and the peach, the lime, apricot, pomegranite, guava and persimmon of Japan, and pears, plums and quinces, with the smaller fruits such as currants, raspberries, blackberries, etc. Then again, the perfect healthfulness of the climate, absolute immunity from any and all local causes of disease, render it the natural retreat for the invalid. Here, those who will may live entirely upon nuts and fruits, having variety in abundance and fresh from the parent stem almost every day of the year, and with the positive assurance that their plethoric and fevered systems will become renovated and their avoirdupois solldly increased. One lady who is well known to the writer came to California an invalid, weighing but a little over 80 pounds—a poor, broken-down dyspeptic. She adopted after several months an exclusive diet of nuts and fruits, with a few vegetables such as turnips, sweet corn and sweet potatoes, that could be relished without cooking, and after four months her weight began to increase at the rate of two pounds per week, until now she brings down the scales at 112 lbs. Is not this an admirable parody on the American system and overeating and gutttony with every accompanying absurdity that goes to make up the complement of that which is popularly termed high or rich living? If the invalids of our country, from whatever disease, would emigrate to this natural sanctum of the world and adopt a system of living similar to the above, throw away doctors and doctors' potions, live quiet, natural and harmonious lives, they would recover health and find a happiness in living to which they are now strangers. The above is professional advice given free and gratis to whom it may concern. I notice that the Rural Press gives the estimate of our orange crop this year at 50,000. Whoever gave him those figures was evidently ignorant or else disposed to underrate the facts in the case. I have made inquiry from growers themselves and ascertain that from the larger orchards there will be shipped over 300,000; then there are many orchards just coming into bearing from which have been shipped from 6 to 30 boxes each, so that the entire crop will not be less than 350,000. Will the Rural Press please make the correction. When the crop is all gathered I propose to take a census and give to the Gazette the exact amount for this year. Our citizens are naturally proud of the result and desire to be correctly represented, believing as they do that this particular locality is adapted to grow the finest excellent and best fruit of the citrus The Parker boys say that my guessing was at fault in estimating the number of quail taken by them. They have averaged from 10 to 17 dozen per day thus far for the season and say that it pays better than oranges. Let those who are looking to locate a home and are fond of gunning make a note of the above, for although they need not expect to equal the Parker boys, who always excel in baseball and gunning, yet they will find in our adjacent canyons a plenty of game to tempt their sporting proclivities. On last Monday we were favored with another welcome rain. It set in about 2 P.M. and continued until sunset when the sky became clear and the weather grew cold so that during the night additional clothing to the ordinary was necessary to keep warm. Wednesday morning the thermometer at sunrise stood at 38° and some frost was observable on the roofs of buildings, woodpiles, etc. No ice was made so far as I can learn, and no damage to trees is observable. About noon on Tuesday it commenced raining and continued with but little intermission until Wednesday. The weather is still unsettled with a fair prospect of having quite a spell of wet weather. The rain has been welcome to all classes and insures abundant crops. Judge Jenkins, who has been absent for several weeks on a visit to his old home in Tennessee, has returned looking as healthy and vigorous as a new blown rose, and is now prepared to dispense justice to the contentious and the erring. He thought before he left home that Orange was the best locality in the world to live in and now he knows it is. Mr. Louis Butler has built and completed one of the handsomest cottages in the Santa Ana valley and moved into it. He is proud of his wife, his cottage and his orange orchard, and has a right to be, for few young men set out upon the voyage of manhood's life with fairer prospects than he, and as an example for others he illustrates what industry, perseverance and good judgment can accomplish. Has our editor seen "the snow," the beautiful snow?" If not, let him cast a glance along the Sierra Madre and Santa Ana ranges of mountains and behold their summits, white with winter's snowy mouthes. What a gorgeous sight! Could our Eastern friends alight among us and see our valleys and plains clothed with richest green and flowers of every hue and then lift their eyes in the morning sunlight toward those venerable mountains, they could not fail to become entranced with the beauties spread before them, and feel that they had realized, while yet upon earth, some of the transcendent beauties of the world beyond. E.M.J. Sarannah Items. In conversation with a gentleman who resides 8 miles west of Los Angeles he reports a large amount of wheat and barley being sown in that portion of the county. The stimulating effect of the past showers has induced our fruit growers to plant out many apple, pear and other northern fruit trees. Many of our farmers are still plowing and sowing small grain, and no one seems to fancy sugar beet raising. On Tuesday afternoon the natives in this locality were rather astonished to see the snow fall very fast, and it is a fact worthy of a fixed date, that more recent settlers were amazed beyond ordinary expression in this semi-tropical California to see it snow so easily. Just as nice as "love among the roses." Some of our orange growers had to shake the snow off the trees to pick oranges. Last Sabbath our R.R agent sold $5 worth of tickets to witnesses in the trial R.J.Baldwin at San Francisco. Our agent also shipping hay and grain out to the farm to fill large contracts with the railroad; for U.S. troops in Arizona Territory. Westminster Items. Two recent arrivals in this township have omitted to mention until now, a boy to the house of Kiefhaber, also one to house of Peters. Miss Leffler, a daughter of the Rev. Leffler, has lately arrived here from East. A surprise party to welcome young lady was held at her father's house Thursday evening. Distemper among horses is prevalent here. Rather an inconvenient one as all the horses are needed for plowing other farm work. Mr. Mundell, who started for Arrow about two weeks ago, has returned, noting to continue his journey. He refeed very scarce on the road. On Tuesday and Wednesday we was very cold, and within 8 miles of Angeles we encountered a snow which increased the nearer we got to city. Snowballing was the order of conversions everywhere during the evening. On our turn, in passing through Downey, has quite thickly for some time. On rear here we found a mixture of snow; hail rain had fallen, but not to the extent elsewhere. Enough rain we think has fallen if followed by the usual warm weather of February; to insure a good star wheat and barley.
