i -f r- TEE RUSSELL ORCHARD. MAGNOLIA TEMPLE. PINEGR0V: SANTA MAlviA TIMES TO OUR AS rESN PBI i ON HIS WAY HOME- Oar Correspondent Takes in the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce- 1 GAREY ITEMS- Splendid Entertainment by School Last Friday Eve. Gave a Banquet Last Friday Evening at McMillans Hall. Among other inducements which Santa Maria offers to new comers, are her social advantages and in this respect she will compare favorably with any other town of her size on the coast, It is not hut character that constitutes good society, but Magnolia Temple has both and when they give a banquet and invite a few friends they are obliged to leave the Masonic Banquet Ilall and go to McMillans Hall for room and accommodations.

This they did on Friday evening of last week, and, remembering ye editors ability to absorb entertainment in all its forms, lie was invited to join tile happy throng just at the most fascinating (supper) lime. A regular Bession of the temple had been held atMaonio Ifnll during the early part of the evening and at ten oclock p. m. the members, with a number of invited guests repaiied to McMillans Hall where the Sisters had prepared a feast of good things to eat, not for the purpose of tempting their guests to gormandize, but to round, out the evenings entertainment. When the party was seated at the table all formality ceased and a free and-easy social time was had for an hour and a half, when the hall was cleared, the band played and many danced, while others looked on, chatted with neighbors and enjoyed an evening of pleasant recreation.

While Santa Maria is blessed with' frequent entertainments of this kind, she has none too many and, by economical management, and the absence of caste, the highest degree of social enjoyment is only reached where the female portion of humanity takes an active part and the Pythian Sisters rank with Santa Marias best as social entertainers. MACK jfW V. 4 A 1. ClLk SUPP JOHNSON EXPLAINS. freights Have Eeen Reduced as Will Appear by the Following.

San Luis Obispo, Nov. 21, 93. Times: Santa Maria, Cal. Gentlemen: In your issue of Nov. 11th you referred to a complaint made by some one in Santa Maria that our rates, instead of being reduced, as advertised, were in reality advanced, and asked that I explain.

The matter slipped my mind and lias only just been re' called to my attention. Speaking generally, I would say that the statement that our rates have been greatly reduced, both north and south bound, is true and I personally know of no single instance where our rates to or from Santa Maiia, under the new arrangemeut are higher than under the old. It is possible that there may be commodities, which for some reason or other would take a higher rate under the classification which we now employ, the West cm, which is the one authorized by the State board of Railroad Commissioners of this State as being the best and fairest to both shipper and carrier that lias ever been compiled. Taking for instance, dry goods, we find the old late, before the Western Classification was adopted by tills company or by the steamship line, wc.s 70 cents it is now 45 cents. On groceries, old rate 70 cents new 45 cents; On plows, knocked down, old rate 70 cents; new rate 35 cents.

On flour, old rate 55 cents; new 35 cents. From the above it would seem there is no ground for complaint of higher rates. The rate on grain, north bound to San Francisco, which was formerly $4.75 is now $3.00 per tou. I think the complaint to which you refer arises from the fact that shippers do not understand that an article packed in one way will take a certain rate, while if packed in another, will take a higher rate. For instance, boots and shoes packed in sample trunks, take double the rato applied on the same articles when securely boxed.

Under the old arrangement, also, we charged on furniture, agricultural Implements and similar bulky articles, at an estimated weight, which, while fair on the hoarier articles-ot a class, was unfair when applied on lighter articles of the same class. Under the Western Classification, actual weight is charged on such commodities. Without fuller information as to what tho complaint referred to consisted of, I cannot reply more clearly than as above, but will be pleased to take up any complaint and if found just, remedy it as fur as possible. Yours truly, C. O.

I1UKLBUT, Agent. Santa Barbara, Cal. Room 2, County National Bank Building. LAND NOTICE. t-iHLISHKD Every adiurdayt A Sad Fatality, A heartrending fatal accident occurred near Guadalupe Thursday afternoon.

Heaery Dolcini, who, with his brother Joe, owned and operated two large dairies at the foot of Pt Sal mountain, had bitched his fine driving team to the Guadalupe stage to drive to Santa Maria. When just be yond Uncle Davy Erowno place, the taam jumped, breaking a singletree and landing Mr. Dolcini upon the ground. His companions helped him to his feet and seeing that he was seriously hurt, placed him in a passing wagon to be taken home but he died in a few minutes. Henry Dolcini was 41 years old and native of Switzerland.

He spent some yeas In Enxland following his trade, watchmaking, previous to coming to Marin countr, this State in 1871. He came to this valley in 1875 where he has since conducted a very successful dairy business. He was married in 18S0 to Miss Fleck, daughter of M. Fleck and for several years has lived in Guadalupe, who, together with six little children survive him and mourn his untimely death. He has two sifters and two brothers living in Marin and Sonoma counties.

Mr. Felix Mattei of Los Olivos is his first cousin. Mr. Dolcini was a man of more than ordinary ability. A kind husband and loving father.

Honest to a fault. Honored and respected by all who knew him, he was a natural leader in everything liberal and progressive. His death has cast a doom over the entire community. He was a leading light among masons, being master of Guadalupe Lodge at the time of bis death. Kis remains will be interred with Masonic honors to-morrow at Guadalupe cemetery.

V7ta. Boone, former residents of this place, states that they have a fair crop cf corn, although it was hailed out once and a heavy frost early in September killed all vegetation. We are truly thankful that they raised corn for without that what would they have during tho next six months of frozen blizzards. We would send them some fruit and Cowers, but then they cannot sell out now and it would only bo an aggravation. We can only hope that they may thaw out again summer end have strength enough left to get back to California where all good people belong.

Dan Smith who resides south west of town says he is done plowing for the season. He has a fine crop of apples on the old orchard and will plant more trees this winter. He is gathering gum seed now and proposes to supply all the country around with gum trees next spring. There will probably sever be many more gum trees planted along the farm boundary lines in the main valley but there is still need of thousands being planted along the river, in the sand hills, on light patches and out-of-the-way places. They will help to modify the climate, increase rainfall and furnish 'valuable fuel, besides adding much to general appearances.

Should they coma this way look a 'little out. An exchange Bays: "Our people should beware cf two characters cf the hobo class who visit private hsussa with their arms in slings. Tbs skin on the arms of these fellows, after being liberally painted witb iodine, takes on the ap-kpearaucs cf an old, broken limb, and an exhibition of their arms to housewives, they generally excite eym- Eathy, and get a few dimes "to help uy medicine. Many of the larger towns in Southern California are organizing a board of trade in their respective towns, which should aid in establishing industries and attracting people and eapital, besides voicing the sentiments of the people.

They have always had a touch of California fever and our display at the Worlds Fair raised the temperature somewhat of the entire Cheap rates and a chance to swap blizzards for roses even up, will prove an inducement and the Midwinter Fair will be tho popular excuse for visiting this coast during the next six months. You may as well make up your minds at once that you are coming and begin to arrange accordingly. We know you are coming and we are making all necessary arrangements for your reception and entertainment.

This is no trouble to us in this land of sunshine, fruit and flowers, but we want to give you a little ndvice about the trip. It seems peculiar yet nevertheless true, that certain transportation companies have the idea that the nearer tourists come to experiencing the hardships of the days of forty-nine, in crossing the continent, the better suited they will be with the trip. We are not hired to toot the horn of any railroad, and we are not go-Ing to point out those backwoods companies to you, but, having passed over different lines and through different experiences we do feel Inclined to speak a favorablo word for tho Santa Fe, partly from a sense of justice to the company, but more especially to steer our friends clear of experiences which they do not need here on earth. Thero are not necessarily any more hardships or privations attached to a trip across the continent than to going to your own county' seat, provided your ticket calls for the proper route. Thero are practically three classes of traveling people in the United States to-day; emigrants tourists and palace car passengers.

Our friends mostly belong to the tourist class and to them, these remarks are addressed. This is the class too that Is receiving the most attention and accommodation from the railroads. Tho different lines are vieiusr with each other in courtesies and the Santa Fe has succeeded best of all. This company sends tourist sleepers from Boston to any point on this coast without change and so do other lines, but they have to change from one railroad line to another while the Santa Fe remains the same from Chicago to the Pacific. There is no sidetracking, switching, waiting for another train, with contingent consequences, as there are on other lines.

There is absolutely no delay so far as the management is concerned. Their officials are more courteous and their train men more obliging. They have a better, safer roadbed, fewer accidents and del tys; no extreme! of heat or cold. They run better cars and have the finest scenery. It is the cheapest, safest, quickest and most satisfactory way of reaching this coast that has yet been contrived.

Our fathers and mothers can come that way' and bring our grandfathers and grandmothers without the least exposure or inconvenience and nil can enjoy at least one winter where it never snows and where fruit ripens and flowers bloom every month in the year. Lompoc Pointers. Lompoc Journal Bays: Mr. D. Oakley has removed his family from ilie Salaipuedes to his homo on Pine Avenue.

Mr. D. C. Montgomery lias removed his family into the Dr. Dimock house at the west end of Pine Avenue.

Mr. Cuutley is an enterprising business man and will be missed by the community. M. S. Nichols, who has been a prominent figure in Lompoc for a number of years, has rented his property here and moved to Los Angeles.

He left with his family last Saturday. They will be missed by a host cf friends. Mr. Sherman of Santa Barbara was in town Honda, looking after fat cattle for his meat market. He purchased several head of Charley Short and expected to buy a lot more at the Shaw ranch at Los Alamos.

The Flouring Mill runs early and late, and then, it cannot supply the demand for flour. The dry grass on Mr. A. G. Martinezs place, in the Santa Rita valley, took fire last Tuesday and did considerable damage.

13 Building and Improving and perity is Sean Everywhere- Pros- Common country gosip is rather scarce of late, as our people are too busy to talk or listen, but then, your readers would rather learn of prosperity than to hear of vile tattling. There have been no births, marriages or deaths of late to interfere with general farm work aud our people are nil busy, clearing land, fencing and putting up buildings. We had extra good crops in this neighborhood this year and the farmers generally are coming out better this year than last, although prices on all kinds of produce ore considerably lower. Mr. Roe has just completed a new barn on his place in Asphaltuni Gulch at the foot of Pine Mountain.

J. Drunim has built quite an addition to his residence in the same neck-of-the-woods. Mr. Chaffin has built, a new granary and made other improvements on his place near the school house. Mr.

Geo. Kliuk will soon commence the erection of a new barn on his ranch in Bine Canyon. Several others are building, fencing and making other improvements. Rev. Smith has been holding revival services at the echool house the past two weeks, assisted by Rev.

Mr. Seward who is a very able speaker. They have crowded houses every evening and the people seem very much interested. That much good may be accomplished, is the prayer of the comm unity. The Alliance Flouring Mill at Los Alamos is running constantly and is unable to supply the customers who apply.

They are making a very good quality of flour and are selling it very cheap. Several of the stockholders live here and the people gsnerally are very much interested in the welfare of the mill. If you need any extra fine specimens of winter apples and pears to send to the Midwinter Fair just let us know, for we have them in abundance. We understand that our mining interests are to be well represented there this winter. J.

Russell commenced planting liis 80 acre orchard noith west of town, some two years ago he did not have as much to. guide him aright as our planters now have, yet lie made a success of the and liis orchard now stands as an object lesson io intending planters. A Times representative paid this plantation a visit during the week and found the superintendent. Mr. R.

O. Walker, preparing for the winters pruning. A stroll through the orchard shows that good management and a proper appreciation of the adaptability of soils, fruits and climate have combined to produce one of the thriftiest and best arranged orchards in the valley. Mr. Russells success in growing un orchard can be attributed, to liis determination to plaut nothing but first class trees; to having the advice of such experienced-fruit men as Hatch, Dalton Bros.

etc. in regard to what varieties to plant on liis special soils, and to liis disposition to make a success of his every undertaking. Mr. Russell has growing here the finest almond orchard in the valley. The trees planted two years ago bore a few nuts tho present year.

They are standard varieties and tho tiees have made almost phenomenal growth. They are full of buds and with anything like a fair season the yield of almonds next year will be omething worth having. He has also the largest plum orchard in the valley and it is composed of such excellent varieties as the Yellow Egg, Washington and Clyman. There are also growing on this tract fine blocks of Bartlett pears, apricots, peaches and prunes. lie lias made some mistakes, such as the inexperienced aie liable to make but these we will leave for the investigator to see for himself along with the grand euc-cess achieved as the contrast is great and will make indelible impressions upon all who are interested in orcharding.

Look this pliice over. There is a fund of knowledge in it for all intending planters. It takes time to study and investigate but it is time well epen t.

No. 231. Again death has knocked at our inner door; another link In tho chain of fraternal friendship has been severed. In the death of Louis St Ores this Lodge has lost a zealous and consistent Mason. On the thirteenth day of November, 1893, our beloved brother closed his labors and peacefully ended bis eventful life.

I hero is jblimely touching lu the contemplation tfe and labors of him who has gone by his st-. ig lnteg-ity, liis untiring energy, his uuoi ring fidelity, and his devotion to duty he commanded the respect of ail men. Order and habit were the distinguishing features of his life. Habit is tho great conservatory of character. Character is the gr.age oi human destiny.

The destiny of Louis St. Ores is the consummation of a useful aud well spent life, wreathed in the sunlight of a blessed immortality. If lie had faults they were overshadowed by his virtues. We extend to his children our sympathy and commend to them and the Masonic Fraternity an example worthy of imitation. The world was richer by his life So in the bright morning of the worlds resurrection, his mortal frame, now laid in the dust by the chilling blasts of death, shall spring again into newness of life and expand in immortal beauty in the realms beyond the- skies.

Until then I denr brother, until then farewell. We, your committee that the Hall of Guadalupe Lodsre bo draped in mourning for the customary period aud that a copy of these resolutions be spread upon the minutes of the Lodge and a copy of the same transmitted to the child red of the deceased. Fraternally submitted, W. T. Lucas, David Lewtv.
