PROFITS OF THE CANNERY. To the President, Board of Directors and Stockholders of the Napa Fruit Canning, Drying and Packing Company. GENTLEMEN:—I have been asked many times if the canning of fruits was a paying business. My answer is; invariably, it is. The question may be asked, do you know it is a paying business? My answer is: I have made it pay a large dividend. If well managed, it will pay equal to any business on this coast. I had a conversation a few days ago with a large wholesale hardware merchant in San Francisco, who owns an interest in a fruit cannery, and he told me that his stock in the fruit cannery paid him better than his hardware business. The prospect for making money is better than it has been at any time in ten years. In the first place the market is entirely cleared of canned fruits. There is no old stock on hand, the demand is far more than ever has been, the prices of former years for canned fruits are well maintained and the raw material never was as low as it is today. I have just bought tin plate at five dollars per box, an unheard of price in California. We used to think when we could get tin plate for six and seven dollars per box we were doing well, and during the ten years I have been in the business I have paid as high as ten dollars and twenty cents per box, besides a huge rate of freight. That there is money in the canning business no one can doubt if they will only inform themselves in regard to what others have done. Look, for instance, at the San Jose Cannery, in San Jose. That was started a few years ago by putting up fruit on a kitchen stove in a common wash boiler, and to day their buildings cover a space of about 150x450 feet, and cost half a million dollars. Hard tasks are set them, and failure is met by whipping with a strap, which is always applied to the bire skin. Terrible tales are told of the horrors arising from its use. The strap as used here is fully equal to the Russian knot. From March 6th to the 13th forty whippings were inflicted with it. Three weeks ago James Audres, a white convict, deliberately killed John Davis, his partner in mining, for the sole reason that he might be sent to Franklin, where murderers and like grades of criminals are kept. Andrés was not even strapped. That punishment is reserved for lighter offenses. Mason, Foord & Co., who hire the convicts from the State, make $41 49 monthly profit off each one. There are 1,100 in all, and the firm makes a big fight against an investigation or a change of contract. School Children on Strike. About half the boys in the Eleventh Ward School at Troy, N.Y., struck April 12th, for shorter hours, "and refused to continue their studies." They demanded only one session a day, and that to be from 8 o'clock until noon. "The boys held an open-air mass meeting, and then proceeding laths, and sticks swarmed through the neighboring streets, threatening violence to pupils who did not join them. The reserve from one police station was sent to the scene to give whatever protection was necessary. The strikers tried to induce the boys in another school to follow their example. The same day about one hundred boys, pupils of a public school in Greenpoint, L.I., made a demand on the Principal that the usual morning and afternoon recesses be extended from fifteen to thirty minutes, and that on Friday the afternoon session close half an hour earlier than at present." Their demand not being granted, the boys refused THE TREASURER. WASHINGTON, chilled iron and steel are objects of much only certain ones of hers, and these only Treasurer. The connected with the contents of them They are known to serve vault; the vault and the cash vault is used combined in the officeness, and presents It is constructed of eern principles, and iron-bound apartments silver. The wall chilled iron, built are over a foot thinner and outer pail with heavy iron mass, the removal much time, skill at work.

That there is money in the canning business no one can doubt if they will only inform themselves to regard to what others have done. Look, for instance, at the San Jose Cannery, in San Jose. That was started a few years ago by putting up fruit on a kitchen stove in a common wash boiler, and to day their buildings cover a space of about 150x450 feet, and cost half a million dollars. Also the Golden Gate Cannery, of San Jose, an institution I started myself a few years ago with a small capital. The third year it paid a dividend of 100 per cent, and I have been told by reliable parties that it has paid ever since from 72 to 100 per cent every year. You have only to look at their costly buildings and the improvements they make from year to year to convince you that the canning business does pay, and it will pay right here in Napa City. It will not only pay the stockholders a nice dividend but it will increase the value of real estate, both in town and country, by bringing in people to buy and rent property. I have received a number of letters already from different places asking me if I could give the writers employment at the Napa Cannery. If I can, they will in us here for the purpose of working in it. There is no business that can be started in a place that will benefit it as much as a cannery. In the first place, it gives employment to a class of people outside of a cannery earn but very little money, like women, girls and boys, and this is the very class of people that needs employment, and by opening up a way for them to earn money, it benefits the merchants of this place. If this business is carried out as extensively as it should be, the merchants of Napa will be surprised at the large increase in their costs; for the money that is paid out at the cannery will be sure to find its way into the merchant's money drawer in less than twenty four hours. It includes fine growers to plant out more and better trees and to take better care of what they have already out. Even the real estate and insurance then get quite a swing little sum from it, and as soon as the cannery is known to be a success it will increase the value and sale of real estate. When has been practiced in real estate in San Jose since Santa Clara valley? The establishment goes on; by making a market for fruits and encouraging people to plant out more and better varieties. Fruit men in Santa Clara Valley have told me that before the San Jose and Golden Gate canneries were started there that there was scarcely any demand for their fruits, especially apricots. Bartletts pears and peaches. Large orchards of apricots were dug up because there was no sale for them. Even in 1876 I bought very fine Bartlett pears for 50 cents per box, and in 1877 I paid from 75 cents to $1 per box and later on we paid as A Mark of Royal Favor. Of the royal blue button a correspondent in Australia writes: "You get one when you are received by the Queen, or if it is in Australia, where I got mine, by the Governor-General, who represents her. It is an ordinary looking button, having on its exposed surface a groundwork of draught upon which a yellowish rosette with a blue center is worked. A metal shank with a small metal disk painted black complete the article. In the manufacturing they must cost about 10 cents a gross. One of these is given to each person who has audience with the Governor, and is worn in the happel of the coat as a badge of royal favor. The Governor-General is a great gun in the columns. And there is more red tape about him than can be found at Windsor Castle. When he indescends to go to the theatre, his visit costs the local manager about $219 for carpets and decorations, and then he takes such a retinue with him, all of whom get 'in for nothing, that there is little room for the rest of the public. A funny thing concerning his visit is that as soon as he enters the door the performance must stop, the band or orchestra strikes up 'God Save the Queen,' and everybody in the house rises to his or her feet and turns to the royal box, remaining standing until the Governor sits down. I saw a performance of Uncle Tommy Cobia once in Alethale; the Governor came in just as 'Eliza' was crossing the ice, and there she had to stand in midstream on the tossing floes until God Save the Queen came to an end and the Governor took his seat, when 'Eliza' resumed her journey over the dancing ice cakes." A Singular Accident. SAN FRANCISCO, April 24 — Ernest Ayers, a resident of Iowa, went this morning to boring streets, threatening violence to pupils who did not join them. The reserve from one police station was sent to the scene to give whatever protection was necessary. The strikers tried to induce the boys in another school to follow their example. The same day about one hundred boys, pupils of a public school in Greenpoint, L.I., made a demand on the Principal that the usual morning and afternoon recesses be extended from fifteen to thirty minutes, and that on Friday the afternoon session close half an hour earlier than at present.' Their demand not being granted, the boys refused to return to the school after the morning recess and picketed the entrance to prevent others from entering. The trouble assumed such threatening proportions that the Principal sent for the police, and a sergeant and several officers were sent to the school. The pupils of a Georgia school have also had a strike—it was short lived; though—for a holiday. The children went so far as to nail up the school doors. Strikes for shorter sessions took place on the 16th of April among the children of several schools in St. Louis. Two lads in the Hogden School were whipped by the Principal. A Mark of Royal Favor.

The establishment of a market to sell fruits and encouraging people to plant or move and better varieties. Fruit men in Santa Clara Valley have told me that before the San Jose and Golden Gate canneries were started there that there was scarcely any demand for their fruits, especially apricots, Bartlett pears and peaches. Large orchards of apricots were dug up because there was no sale for them. Even in 1876 I bought very fine Bartlett pears for 50 cents per box, and in 1877 I paid from 75 cents to $1 per box and later on we paid as high as $2 and $2.25 per box. It makes a sure market for fruits at home, where they can deliver it in open boxes and to be sure to get them back in good order, without being compelled to nick and handle every piece of fruit and then be to the excuse of putting on a cover. Our buildings are almost completed. The machinery is about all here and nearly all paid for. A good share of our tin plate is bought and is on the way from New York. Our cannakers are nearly all hired at very low rates and everything so far has been done with as little outlay of money as it was possible to do it. Our buildings and machinery are of the very best material, and everything is being done in a substantial and workmanlike manner. Respectfully yours, J. J. Groom. Convict Life. CINCINNATI, April 23.—A thorough examination of the practical workings of the convict contract system of Kentucky has shown such neglect, cruelty and starvation as cannot be duplicated this side of Siberia. The investigation was conducted mainly at Greenwood, where 218 convicts are worked in the mines, a company of militia being on the ground to prevent free miners from overpowering the guards and setting the convicts free. Of these 218 nearly 60 were sick last week from overwork and insufficient food. They are kept in two leg houses, with big cracks, and heated by only one stove. Many of the men were frost-bitten last winter. These houses were built for 75 men, but 218 now occupy them. The men see the san only as they go from the barracks to the mine, in which they work eleven hours. A Singular Accident. SAN FRANCISCO, April 24.—Ernest Ayers, a resident of Iowa, went this morning to Oakland to say goodbye to his uncle prior to his return East. His uncle, a carpenter, was working upon a new building on Twenty-second street, near Broadway. Ayers stood on a scantling a few feet below his uncle, and the latter stepped down to be on a level with him. The extra weight broke the scantling and both men were precipitated to the ground, a distance of fifty five feet. Ayers received fatal internal injuries, and his uncle escaped unhurt. Burned to Death. BRADFORD, Pa., April 24.—A frame building at Alton, erected on posts and used as sleeping quarters for laborers, toppled over at 1 o'clock this morning and caught fire from the stove. The building contained thirty-eight Italians in the employ of the Erie railway. Before they could get out, six were burned to death and three others badly injured. Different from Chicago. The Boston public has lost an opportunity of studying California products in not encouraging the continuation of the Citrus Show at the Old South. Although 1,500 complimentary tickets were sent to prominent men at the State House and throughout the city, the attendance has not been large enough to give reason for keeping up the show longer. Those who attended give testimony of the unusual excellence of the fruit.—Boston Journal, April 15th. By the use of Buckingham's Dye, the whiskers may be easily made a permanent, natural brown, or black, as desired. The Redemption is one of the most important events in history here worn and made from circulation, and previous to being renewed to the value set by canceled and canceled and done by female owners quite great skill at take.

The Pa NEW YORK, April who went to Pamela the Chamber of Commerce party, last February on the present conference a very long essay, done and the prosecution in 1889. Sanguine of its conclusion which Meyer is expressed in this report: "That canal can be built if a question among visitors the works are been accomplished that when finished and operated at night the lowest estimate other artificial water. Whether the revenue remunerate the stock question upon which data to form an answer when this canal will know first how much water and second, how much will be able and is likely upon it, and that or their equivalent mand. That information revealed to man. No give anything more." WEEKLY CIM GA ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA: SATURDAY, MAY 1, 1886. THE TREASURY STEEL VAULTS. WASHINGTON, April 17. — The great chilled iron and steel vaults of the Treasury are objects of much interest to visitors, but only certain ones can be entered by outsiders, and these only on a permit from the Treasurer. The five principal vaults are connected with the Treasurer's office, for the contents of which he is responsible. They are known as the cash vault, the reserve vault, the silver vault, the redemption vault and the national bank vault. The cash vault is used more than all the others combined in the daily transaction of business, and presents more interesting features. It is constructed on the most approved modern principles, and is strictly speaking, an iron-bound apartment lined with gold and silver. The walls, floor and ceiling are of chilled iron, built in sections. These walls are oves a foot thick, the space between the inner and outer plates of iron being filled with heavy iron balls, forming a compact mass, the removal of which would require much time, skill and labor. The Bureau of Engraving and Printing, where all our national currency is manufactured, occupies a large brick building built expressly for it at a cost of some $300,000. It has three stories and a high basement, and is in the Romanesque style of architecture. Here 250 plate-presses are worked by hand, and over 500 men and women employed in the process of printing sheets of bank notes, banks and Internal Revenue stamps. The long, spacious room, running the entire length of the third story, is a scene of intense activity during business hours. Six hundred sheets per day are printed on each press, and after each impression the delicate copper and steel plate must be removed from the press carefully, wiped dry, polished with whiting, inked and then returned to its amount of work to be done. All these uncertain elements are rendered more uncertain by the financial situation of the company. It is about entering the market for a new loan of 000,000,000 francs. The price it will have to pay for this money is uncertain and the price of a future loan, if one should become necessary, is still more uncertain. Till the money is secured and the cost of getting it ascertained, it would be about as safe to predict the quarter in which the wind will be setting next Christmas day at St. Petersburg as the time when the canal will be finished, or what it will cost, and for sight I see this uncertainty must last till near the completion of the work, for nowhere in the world is the unexpected to happen than on such a work as at Panama." Southern California. [Orange Judd in Prairie Farmer.] There is now a remarkable influx of settlers from nearly every State in the Union, including Northern California itself. We have met scores of recent comers from New York, from Ohio, from Illinois, from many other States, and not a few are here from far off Maine. These people are largely made up of those desiring a mild climate. The business of fruit growing has a charm about it that is specially attractive. Wonderful stories are told of the profits to be derived from a very few acres in oranges or grapes or lemons or other fruits, or from growing English walnuts, etc. These are not all visionary; but we must look further into the subject before writing much more. One thing is certain; the rapid development of orange culture and the opening of several competitive transcontinental lines of railway will soon bring to all our northern towns and cities an abundance of luscious fruits at prices that will place them within reach of KING'S EVIL Was the name formerly given to Scrofula because of a superstition that it could be cured by a king's touch. The world is wiser now, and knows that SCROFULA can only be cured by a thorough purification of the blood. If this is neglected, the disease perpetuates its taint through generation after generation. Among its earlier symptomatic developments are Eczema, Cutaneous Eruptions, Tumors, Boils, Carbuncles, Erysipelas, Purulent Uricers, Nervous and Physical Collapse, etc. If allowed to continue Rheumatism, Scrofulous Catarrh, Kidney and Liver Diseases, Tubercular Consumption, and various other dangerous or fatal maladies, are produced by it. Ayer's Sarsaparilla Is the only powerful and always reliable blood-purifying medicine. It is so effectual an alternative that it eradicates from the system Hereditary Scrofula, and the kindred poisons of contagious diseases and mercury. At the same time it enriches and vitalizes the blood, restoring healthful action to the vital organs and rejuvenating the entire system. This great Regenerative Medicine Is composed of the genuine Honduras Sarsaparilla, with Yellow Deck, Stillingia, the Indoles of Potassium and Iron, and other ingredients of great potency, cannually and scientifically compounded. Its formula is generally known to the medical profession, and the best physicians constantly prescribe AYER'S SARSAPARILLA as an Absolute Cure For all diseases caused by the vitiation of the blood. It is concentrated to the highest practicable degree, far beyond any other preparation for which like effects are claimed, and is therefore the cheapest, as well as the best blood purifying medicine in the world. It has three stories and a high basement and is in the Romanesque style of architecture. Here 250 plate-presses are worked by hand, and over 500 men and women employed in the process of printing sheets of bank notes, bills and Internal Revenue stamps. The long, spacious room, running the entire length of the third story, is a scene of intense activity during business hours. Six hundred sheets per day are printed on each press, and after each impression the delicate copper and steel plate must be removed from the press carefully, wiped dry, polished with whiting, inkled and then returned to its place for another impression. The fiber paper must be handled expertly, and everything about the work done with precision and care. All is perfect system and exactness here. The green backs and other securities issued by the Government, from the time the paper is manufactured until the finished note is issued, are subjected to a system of registering and checking at every step, so minute and precise, that the chance of any error or dishonesty in the handling of this most valuable product is reduced to a minimum. The sheets, before being wet, are delivered to the plate printers, counted and charged to them and again counted in the presence of a lady assistant, who certifies to the count. Attached to the machines by which the wetting is done are registers which automatically count the sheets a third time as they pass through. Next comes the examining division where, after the fourth count, the sheets are dried and counted the fifth time. Lady experts then examine the sheets, and those which are pronounced perfectly into the hydraulic press, from which powerful machine they emerge in a smooth state ready for printing. Any sheets spelled in printing—tool light or too dark or otherwise imperfect—are thrown out by the examiner, but cannot be destroyed until after passing through a regular prescribed course. The lettering and numbering divisions, and the engraving division on the other floors, are interesting also. Visitors are permitted to inspect all the divisions of the bureau, and a guide is provided to conduct all who apply on a "tour" of the rooms. Of the 500 or 600 persons employed in the bureau, a large majority are ladies, and some of the most difficult and responsible work is performed by lady experts. The bureau tures out an average of $100,000 in notes printed daily. The redemption division of the Treasury is one of the most interesting and busiest. Here worn and mutilated bank notes, retired from circulation, are examined and counted previous to being cancelled. Every year currency to the value of $200,000,000 is counted, canceled and destroyed. The counting is done by female clerks, many of whom acquire great skill and seldom make a mistake. Some of these "countesses" have been at work ten years or more, and have handled many millions of dollars. They sit at long tables on which the notes are pried, and package after package is opened the business of fruit growing has a charm about it that is specially attractive. Wonderful stories are told of the profits to be derived from a very few acres in oranges or grapes or lemons or other fruits, or from growing English walnuts, etc. These are not all visionary; but we must look further into the subject before writing much more. One thing is certain: the rapid development of orange culture and the opening of several competitive transcontinental lines of railway will soon bring to all our northern towns and cities an abundance of luscious fruits at prices that will place them within reach of the masses. It is already demonstrated that splendid oranges can be grown at a good profit for half a cent each. Another half cent will pay well for picking and packing. The treight from this region, which was until recently $600 to $800 per carload to Chicago, is now down to $250, and even $200, which is only half a cent each, and railway men say this will pay ithem. Allowing another half (or 33 per cent.) for profits, we have the fruit delivered to northern and eastern consumers at 2 cents each, not for poor specimens of common fruit, but for oranges of good size and delicious flavor. When such oranges can be had for 25 or 30 cents a dozen, there is hardly a limit to the amount that will be consumed, and in this view the fears that the planting of trees will be overdone are not well grounded. Bill to Pension ex-Priseners of War. WASHINGTON, April 21. — The bill reported by Mr. Morrell of Kansas, from the Committee on Invalid Pensions, to-day; to pension prisoners of war, provides that all disabled prisoners of war shall be granted pensions at a rate fixed for similar disabilities in the case of honorably discharged soldiers where disability is presumed to be the result of confinement in southern prisons. The committee estimates that it will require $1,-400,000 annually to meet the addition to the pension rolls. The bill also provides that all prisoners shall receive a per diem of $2 for each day's confinement, and to meet the expenditures on this account it is estimated will require an expenditure of about $400,-009. From the best obtainable information the committee believes that there are about two thousand five hundred ex-prisoners now living, but a large number of those persons are already receiving pensions. The argument in favor of a per diem payment for the period of confinement adduced in the report is that many prisoners were deprived of an opportunity to re-enlist and receive a bounty; therefore they were also thrown out of the line of promotion, and, in addition, sustained, in many cases, losses of personal property through confiscation by their captors.

Here worn and mutilated bank notes, retired from circulation, are examined and counted previous to being canceled. Every year currency to the value of $200,000,000 is counted, canceled and destroyed. The counting is done by female clerks, many of whom acquire great skill and seldom make a mistake. Some of those "countesses" have been at work ten years or more, and have handled many millions of dollars. They sit at long tables on which the notes are pried, and package after package is opened, the notes closely scrutinized and counted, and then turned over to the officials in charge of the cancelling machine, which is run by a turbine wheel. N.Y. Mail and Express. The Panama Canal. New York, April 17th.—John Bigelow, who went to Panama as representative of the Chamber of Commerce with De Lesseps' party, last February, has finished his report on the present condition of the canal. It is a very long essay, showing the work already done and the prospect of its final accomplishment in 1889. Mr. Bigelow is not very sanguine of its completion by that time. The conclusion which Mr. Bigelow has reached is expressed in the following extract from his report: "That with sufficient means the canal can be built is, as I believe, no longer a question among the engineers who have visited the works and seen what has already been accomplished. It seems probable, too, that when finished it can be kept in order and operated at smaller percentages upon the lowest estimates of earnings than any other artificial waterway in the world. Whether the revenues of this canal will ever remunerate the stockholders for its cost is a question upon which I have not sufficient data to form an opinion. To determine when this canal will be finished, we must know first how much work is yet to be done, and second, how much money the company will be able and is disposed to spend annually upon it, and third, how many laborers or their equivalent in machines it can command. That information has not been revealed to man. No one living can even now give anything more than a guess as to the amount in favor of a per diem payment for the period of continement adduced in the report is that many prisoners were deprived of an opportunity to re-enlist and receive a bounty; therefore they were also thrown out of the line of promotion, and, in addition, sustained, in many cases, losses of personal property through confiscation by their captors. Alcoholic Drink and Narcotics. WASHINGTON, April 22.—Representative O'Donnell of Michigan, from the Committee on Education, yesterday reported a Senate bill to provide for the study of the nature of alcoholic drinks and narcotics and their effects on the human system in the military and navy academies and in the Indian and public schools in the Territories and the District of Columbia. The report accompanying it says: Twenty thousand men and women have petitioned the Legislatures of the different States for similar laws, and up to the present year the wishes of the people have been complied with in fourteen States. As an evidence that the people earnestly desire a law like the one suggested, the committee points to the fact that the petitions, bearing the names of 7,176 persons, have been presented to this Congress asking for its enactment. The effect of similar laws in the different States where they are in force has, in the opinion of the committee, proven most salutary. The bill invades no right of self-government; it has the vital merit of involving no political significance, but appeals to the very foundation upon which popular self-government rests. The Philadelphia fund for the benefit of Mrs. Hancock has been swelled by a contribution of $675 made by boys who organized a penny museum in a back yard and collected the money from their playmates and elders. The ages of the boys range from eleven to thirteen years. Quantity in medicine is no indication of value. Ayer's Sarsaparilla is concentrated and powerful; requires a smaller dose, and is more effective, dose for dose, than any other Sarsaparilla. It is the best of all blood medicines. GAZETTE. 1, 1886.
