BOOH FUll OUCIIAUUS.
The Xmrsrrln ofonr Stale Brlns Depleted
by California Frnlt Growers.
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."

. TUE APACHE WAR.
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

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

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

praying over a bag of corn he had just

I'se jes' been an' stole a bushel of corn
from dat mean man, John Williams'

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
