Owing to the great amount of fruit consurnad by the numerous canneries and dryers in California and more espscially to the lately jiatentad meth od of packing fresh fruit in charred bran, whereby it is preserved for a long time nnd can thus be shipped as slow freight, cheaply, to the mest distant parts of tho country, the sup- pIy.of Lfruit in that Slate. fs,, totally planting of orchards is-being earned1 on tlieietliis fall on such extensive scales that the local nurseries, although they had what theySleemed ample prepare tion for an unprecedented demand are totally unable to fill their orders. The varieties in demand are Bartlett pears, Petit prunes, D'Agen, Coe's Golden Drop and Yellow Egg plum; and 250,000 trees of these kinds have been imported from the east nnd this vast influx, supplemented by the home supply, still left n raid upon the nur series of Oregon and Washington Territory neeessary. Mr. Robert Williamson, of the Capital Nurseries, Sacramento, and the Orango Hill Nurseries, in Placer conr.ty, California, has lately visited this State and Washington Territory in search of fruit trees and passed through Tncoma m his way home on Saturday last. He informed the Ledger thit in all Oregon he was able to purchase only 1,000 Bartlett pears. Upon being asked what he thought of fruit culture in Oregon nnd Wash ington Territory, Mr. Williamson re plied: "If I were not engaged as I am, I can think of nothing more at tractive in a business point of view than orchard planting in tho North west. Pears, apples, plums, cherries and berries nre the varieties I wou!d suggest. So far as my observation ex tends in Oregon, the forest covered lands are best adapted to fruit culture. Tlfb volley lands have perhaps too much clay in them." Five yearn hence will see our population quadru pled, if, indeed it is not ten time as gret as it is now. These tens of thousands must and will have fruit. The question is whether home of foreign orchards yill supply it. The young man, or the middle aged man who plants five acres this Fall, and five the next, and so on, in ten year will be rich. The man of capital who wants to make a profitahlo investment can do no better than follow the ex ample of Mr. Williamson and plant one hundred acres under the intelligent supervision of a competent orchardist. A great many fortunes have been made in California by frjiit growing The bank nccount of Charles F. Reed, of Yolo, the Briggs Brothers, of Marys- ville, and scores of others we could mention, bear witness to this fact. We urge our readers to take an un prejudiced and intelligent look into the matter. If anything in the abovp so far as it relates to the growth of fruit culture in California, should seem extravagant, we merely call attention to the following brief state ment from a leading California journal hy way of corroboration. The Bulletin says: "As evidence of the rapid development of the fish and fruit can ning industries on the Pacific Coast, a lithographic firm in this city are said to have increased within two years their label printing facilities from 13, 000 worth of machinery to 05,000 worth. The firm in question have at thn present time orders on hand for lithographed labels for next year to the extent of 150,000." "Standard." Hock I'olut IUiuh. . Rock Point has a first-class barber.

The following is from John Colvig to his brother on Rogue river: Fort Apaciie, A. T., Oct. 31, 1881. Dear Brother. Since I last wroto to you there have been lively times here. I had quit work in the store, with intention of buying stock to drive to market, when the Indians broko out. The same day Gen. Carr left this post to go to the Cibicu. I was hired as a scout and sent out .to tho campSrto see how the Indians liked the; move ' The toMMf ,T7-:v m yji toldroo ithey.-were . -TJi J X il f "i "1 TTT 1 1 i illrrijmi - a as T was' tlitir frinnil T 'rotnrnpfltHiilT1 the post and reported facts to Major Cochran, t nine o'clock p. a. T started, alone, to overtake Carr, lost trail in the darkness and at daylight was twenty five miles from his camp. The hills were swarming with the red devils but I came up with troops at 3 p. m. in the valley of the Cibicu; helped arrest the Medicine Chief, were just going into camp, when our own scouts (23) supported by over 500 other Indians opened fire on us. We were on the open plain and they being near to the creek in ten steps of our camp, the first two shots were fired, and then five hundred. Five men were killed dead and many more wounded. My horse was shot and herd stampeeded. The soldiers charged right on to the villains (firing with carbine and re volver) and driving them from the creek bottom. Then all we could do was to hold eur camp. I tell you George, the sun moved very slowly to ward the west that day. Gen. Carr told me he would stay and fight it out. I told him if he did, that Fort Apache was lost. We buried our dead, (10) and Capt Hentig; put our' wounded on horses (wo saved 40 horses and as many pack mules and captured twelve with sadd'es and a dead Indian for every horse.) Then we started for tho Fort, 50 miles away, at 11 p. il. Our route was through a fearful canyon 17 miles in length to begin wiih, and all the way the roughest trail I ever saw. The retreat was orderly and every ono on their guard. I expected an attack at sunrise, but there was none, though the Indians came out on bluff and ridge and watched us, but they re membered the day previous, and feared the men that fought so well. At 3 p. M. we arrived at Apache. I had noth ing to eat for 36 hours past. In dians had killed nine men near thn post. I slept that ni,ht, and in morn ing Indians commenced to gather around the post and by 3 o'clock one thousand or more were on the hills and commenced tho fight by a charge, from every cliff and crag, and from out the leafy foliage, pourpd the dead ly leaden hail. Sol Her and citizen slood at his post, keeping the Apaches at a respectful distance until night came on, putting a stop to the fight. Many hundreds of cattle and horses were driven off by the Indians and all out standing buildings were burned. Three couriers hail been killed. I and Noble tried to get through to Camp Thomas, but the Indians drove us back forty miles to the post. I will remem ber that night's ride long as I live. Next day had somo fighting round post and at dark I left for Ft. Win gale N.W. 200 miles, arTd waythV firjit 4i.an.tov,getoutraliv-ej,gLcame back with Gon. 'McKinzie with eight hundred men; been through tho cam paign wiih hiiu as chief scout and now I have 25 Indian scouts and am with Lieut. Cruse of Cibicu notoriety; think thn worst is over, but it will last fer two years or more yet. I am getting tired of A. T. and don't know what I may do next, possibly came home be fore Christinas. J. L. Colvio. A Tlilera rrayer. We recently overheard an old darkey praying over a bag of corn he had just stolen in this wise: "Oh, Lordy, God, I'se jes' been an' stole a bushel of corn from dat mean man, John Williams' patch, d m him, and I axes your par don. He's got plenty and so has I, but he wouldn't pay me for my work: so, good Lord, overlook dis little trans gress, and keep dem from findin' it out, for I wants to steal some more, and when I goes to steal help me to gt something nice like you did dem chil dren of Tsralum when you stole dem from dp bondage of Egyptium, and III be mighlv glad. And, oh, Lordy God, if dey find out dat I stole dis corn help m to prove dat Tom Connally, dat black rascal, sole it to me, for Christ's sake. Amen." Georgia papr.
