Description of Madame Modjeska's Colony by a New York Newspaper. A few of the American residents of Southern California are particularly interested in the news that Henryk Sienkiewicz, the author of "Quo Vadis" and "With Fire and Sword," is to come to the United States and, perhaps, to cross the continent and visit some of his old-time friends and neighbors on the ranches in Los Angeles and Orange counties. The novelist lived in this country nearly two years—in 1876, 1877 and 1878. Many people remember him personally and many more remember the Utopian co-operative agricultural colony that he and Mme. Helena Modjeska and Michael Kroschiki labored to establish in the beautiful Anaheim Valley that stretches from the foot of the Sierras to the Pacific shores in Southern California. There were thirty-three in our twenty-four young men and nine women, who came with their husbands. Henryk Sienkiewicz was among the bachelors, and one of the youngest. Every one in the colony had some means, and a few, like Count Bozenta and his wife, Mme. Helena Modjeska, had some $17,000 or $18,000 they had saved from professional laborers in Europe. Every one in the colony was a genius of some sort. That is what brought them together. Several were painters, four were actors, two were sculptors, one an engraver, and a dozen were editors and literary people. Their idea was that here in the semi-tropics, along the shore of the mighty Pacific, and with the inspiration of the snow-capped Sierras, they might lead an idyllic existence. They believed that what had been done in Greece and Italy, among a climatic environment similar to that of Southern California, might be duplicated in this land of fruits and flowers. The real estate pamphlets which they had read from cover to cover in their homes in far-off Poland had assured them that in the fertile soil of Southern California crops themselves when the simple abandoned all. By the spring of 1878 none of the common capital remained, and the colonists had to undertake manual labor on the ranch. Notwithstanding all the books and magazine articles they had read to the contrary, they found co-operative ranch life beset with trouble and subject to daily losses. The idyllic existence that had been their dream for several years floated away among the Sierras. The men and their wives, who had been accustomed to studios and to libraries, were disgusted with the work of following horse and cultivator among the orchard trees for hours, and of cutting alfalfa and of plowing and harrowing soil for frequent irrigation of the young orchards. DIDN'T MIND THEIR MISFORTUNE. Some amusing stories are told by people in Los Angeles of the philosophic, easy, Bohemian way with which nearly all Polish litterateurs, artists and musicians viewed the plight into which their fortunes and hopes had t. Ordinary American farm- have been disheartened or alarmed. Not so the Poles. They rolled cigarettes in the shade of the trees and assumed cheerfulness if they did not feel it. One person in Los Angeles relates how, one day in early 1878, when the last work mule and cow on the place had died from some improper feeding by the theoretical colonists, and troubles of scores of varieties were coming thick and fast, she found a dozen of the young men having the happiest kind of a morning in their upstairs assembly room in practicing the latest Wagner music for an orchestral concert that evening. At another time, when the dearly bought water right had almost dried up and the year's crop of alfalfa was fast withering in the midsummer sun, the Poles gave no heed and had an elaborate amateur dramatic performance, in which every one in the colony had to perform some part. The colony disintegrated fast in the early summer of 1878. Money had been raised by mortgaging the property and when the interest came due disaster followed disaster in rapid succession. All but Mme. Modjeska and the Count Bozenta went good naturedly back to Poland and Paris. Sienkiewicz went to Los Angeles and lived in cheap WALNUT GROWERS.

Probably no more expectant, enthusiastic people ever landed at New York. All were beaming at having exchanged the harassing political conditions of Poland for free America. They were full of plans and were restless to begin life in their co-operative colony. They had a box full of architectural plans for their houses and a wagon load of newly bought books on agriculture and horticulture. LOCATING THE COLONY. After several weeks in New York and Philadelphia, the party went to Washington at the invitation of the Russian minister. The colonists were introduced to President Grant, and having availed themselves of an offer of a great mass of government literature on the subject of farming and fruit growing, they started for the Pacific coast. It was months before the Poles decided upon acreage property to buy for their colony. Meanwhile the real estate men worked early and late to induce them to settle here and there. Every one in Los Angeles was interested to some extent in the choice of a colony site by the new comers. But four among the Poles could speak fair English. Finally the colonists decided to buy a quarter section—160 acres—in Santa Ana valley, near Anaheim. Work began at once on the colony buildings, and by the spring of 1877 they were finished. Then the fields were laid out, irrigation ditches dug, and the ground made ready for planting fruit trees. All this had eaten a big slice out of the combined capital of the expectant colonists, and there were schemes for expending thousands of dollars more before the anticipated wealth from the product of the property should begin to roll in. The Poles, unable to talk with the small army of carpenters, or chard planters, ploughmen and irrigators about the property, stood by smoked cigarettes, built air castles and watched the progress of affairs with delighted interest. They realized, however, that they were paying some mighty heavy bills, and that the Americans asked the full value of everything they sold or the work they did. But the Poles were serene in the faith that the books and the printed articles they had were so accurate in the details of the certain profits of American ranches, especially co-operative ones, that they never begrudged the checks they gave on their Los Angeles bank account. There was ill luck for the colony from the first day until it hopefully good English by that time, me that he had been earning some money by writing for a Polish paper and by several stories. I have learned in the last year that four of his famous Hania stories were written in the old Pico house at that time. I believe the young man went to San Francisco in March or April, 1879, and from there went to New York, thence to Poland. He wrote several letters to Mme. Modjeska and Count Bozenta when he reached Cracow, but we never heard of him until he burst into world-wide fame as the author of 'Quo Vadis.' — New York Evening Post. "A word to the wise is sufficient," and a word from the wise should be sufficient, but you ask, who are the wise? Those who know. The oft repeated experience of trustworthy persons may be taken for knowledge. Mr. W. M. Terry says Chamberlain's Cough Remedy gives better satisfaction than any other in the market. He has been in the drug business at Elkton, Ky., for 12 years; has sold hundreds of bottles of this remedy and nearly all other cough medicines manufactured, which shows conclusively that Chamberlain's is the most satisfactory to the people, and is the best.

Sugar Factories Combine VENTURA, April 19.—The last step was taken today in the absorption of the Oxnard beet sugar factory at Oxnard by the American Beet Sugar company, which was recently organized in New York with a capital stock of $20,000,000. Late this afternoon Toland & Andrews attorneys for the Oxnards filed for record with the county recorder a deed whereby the Pacific beet sugar company conveys to the American beet sugar company the Oxnard sugar factory, the 100-acre site and 3000 acres of farming land near Hueneme, 2000 acres of which is planted to beets. This deed bears twenty-eight $50 revenue stamps, or a total of $1400, which represents the consideration to be $1,400,-000. This is the largest trade ever made in the county. The transaction looks to the consolidation of the four Oxnard factories, located at Norfolk and Grand Island, Neb., and Chino and Oxnard, Cal. Bucklen's Arnica Salve.

VOICE OF THE PRESS. DOES THE TOWN GREAT INJURY. From the Fullerton Tribune. The Fullerton correspondence to the Times, via Anaheim, positively does this town great injury. The would-be correspondent writes weekly of Masonic temples, brick blocks by the dozen, eter, building here, and when outsiders visit Fullerton they expect to see the streets lined on either side with great brick buildings in course of construction. They are disappointed and go away and are free to give the town a black eye. The town has a steady growth—just what we want here. The people of Anaheim are also complaining of the unreliable letters sent to the Times from that place by the same would-be correspondent. SHORT APRICOT CROP. From the Ontario Record. Leslie S. Smith, of the firm of Malone & Smith, is taking a trip through the fruit districts of Southern California, looking over the crop prospects. He reports that with the exception of the country in the vicinity of Anaheim the apricot crop is very light, but that the yield of peaches and prunes will be unusually heavy in all localities. A MUSICAL EVENING. From the Orange News. On Thursday evening the State Salvation Army band visited Orange, and marching around the plaza to DECIDUOUS FRUITS. The Crop is Ripening Rapidly, and Now is the Time to Thin Them Out. Deciduous fruits are coming out with marvelous rapidity. The first shipment of cherries from Vacaville to Chicago on March 31st is even, if we are not mistaken, with the earliest date on record for such an event. It may be accepted as about the earliest possible date. This degree of advancement is, so far as we have observed, widely prevalent this year. In Southern California last week, we saw many instances of the same trend of affairs. In some respects the season is the earliest we ever saw and in some other respects the most irregular. The rapid advance of the fruits makes it necessary to speak at once upon the subject of thinning. The situation suggests both an exhortation and a caution, and either one by itself would be more easy to write upon and perhaps more satisfactory to read, but we cannot control the situation. If the order should decide, after reading, to trust more largely to his own judgment of the conditions likely to arise in his own immediate location, it may lead him to develop self-reliance at the expense of respect for our counsel—for which we are both glad and sorry, but cannot help nor hinder. There should be little occasion now to urge systematic thinning of fruit to secure uniformly good sized fruit and to relieve the tree from excessive burden and subsequent failure or shortness of crop. Though these considerations have been urged for years, too many growers do not respect them, or at least do not adequately practice them. Every year some growers lose money by not bringing their fruit up to the size requirements of canners or shippers. These do not always agree exactly perhaps, and the grower should have in his mind what are the requirements of the purchaser he has in view; but it has been fully demonstrated that no demand is profitable which will be content with the undersized fruit of an overladen tree. The superior price for good-sized fruit for all uses, not including drying, is unquestionable; the total weight secured may be variable as be- The business of the association shall be transacted by a board of directors, who shall elect a presiding vice-president of their number who may be of their number other person. They may also from time appoint a manager, intransacting the business of the association, for such time as they may fill a vacancy occurring any office. The directors may fix the compensation of all officers, or employees. The regular meeting of the Board Directors shall be held on the Saturday in each month at 10 a.m. Special meetings of the Board Directors may be held at any time of the president; his absence or disability, by the president; or in case of his refusal, to call of two directors. The secretary must give to each director, in order by mail, at least three days' written writing, of the time and place such a special meeting. If stockholders are present at the meeting, no notice of the meeting will be required. The annual meeting of the holders for the election of stockholders and other business shall be the last Monday in April, at 2 p.m. annually. If there should be a meeting not finished the stockholder present may adjourn the meeting some future day. The president is a majority of the Board of Directors may call a meeting of the stockholder for specified business, of which the secretary shall give notice in manner provided in section 301 of Civil Code. The secretary shall keep the files and books of the association, all required notices, draw warrants minutes of the meetings of owners and stockholders, and perform further duties as may be required by him by the directors. All officers of the association continue in office until their success shall have been elected and reelected. Each stockholder of the association shall deliver to the association all and entire crop of walnuts by him within the district of association, excepting such quantities may be needed for home use. And stockholder violating the provisions of this section forfeit and pay to association the sum of two cents for pound of walnuts he delivers in addition of this by-law not to exceed sum of one hundred dollars ($100.00) each offense. Provided that the members of Directors may by a majority of all the directors at a meeting organize a stockholder to sell his crop nuts or any part thereof, to other persons and such authority shall be directed to him in writing by the president. All walnuts that are not up standard, this association shall power to reject, and if such holder whose walnuts are refused shares, this association will market same and pay over such proceeds expenses incidental to the same. All money received for sale of walnuts or otherwise shall not once deposited to the credit of this association in such chartered form as the Board of Directors may arrange with, and all moneys so received be paid out to the various parties led to the same on warrants signed by the president or vice-president and signed by the secretary. Last year the vineyardists were practically free from any of these pests and some vineyardists were inclined to shorten their growth or shortness of crop. Though these considerations have been urged for years, too many growers do not respect them, or at least do not adequately practice them. Every year some growers lose money by not bringing their fruit up to the size requirements of canners or shippers. These do not always agree exactly perhaps, and the grower should have in his mind what are the requirements of the purchaser he has in view; but it has been fully demonstrated that no demand is profitable which will be content with the undersized fruit of an overladen tree. The superior price for good-sized fruit for all uses, not including drying, is unquestionable; the total weight secured may be variable as between thinned and unthinned trees, but it can be accepted as an undisputable fact that any increase of weight there may be upon the unthinned tree will not be nearly an equivalent for the loss in value. The larger fruit will be worth more than the larger weight for any purpose whatever, except perhaps for pits for fuel; the smaller weight of well-grown pits are unquestionably more valuable for seed purposes. Do not therefore, even if you are a beginner, allow yourself to be blinded by the glamor of an immense crop from overcrowded trees. It is the saddest kind of a delusion in the horticultural line. Also do not forget that no overburdened tree can discharge the twofold summer duty of every cultivated fruit-bearing tree which is to perfect this season's fruit and lay a good strong foundation for next year's bearing. If your tree after fruit gathering has not the strong, vigorous foliage to complete the formation of fruit buds for the following year, there will be either a lack of bloom, or a show of bloom unit to set and the tree will work for itself next year, and not for you, because this year you would not work for it. It seems unnecessary to insist upon these elementary considerations, but it is not unnecessary. In spite of the deserved prominence which California enjoys for rational, up-to-date pruning and thinning, there are plenty of people who are still living in the middle ages. They injure themselves and every one else who has a pound of fruit to sell. But there are some things to be said about thinning which seem to be particularly timely now. As noted elsewhere there is great irregularity in blooming and fruit setting. What is its relation to thinning this year? We would like to summon all our readers to conference on this matter to define the very best policies for the peculiar conditions which prevail, for we must admit we feel a little lonesome on the proposition, nor do we have conscious possession of any mastery of it. A few considerations may, however, be helpful to those of less experience.
