CALIFORNIA FRUIT.
California, some few years ago, was noted only by being one of the large producers of precious metals, and little thought was bestowed upon agriculture. With the discovery of gold in 1919, and the subsequent rapid increase of the population, the State soon assumed a prominent position among her elder sisters of the Union. With the rapid growth of her hardy people it was soon found that, though gold and silver were plentiful, food staples were scarce, and even at extravagant prices were difficult to obtain. The failure of prospectors and the loose attending had ventures in the mines, subsequently forced many of the pioneers into filling the soil, and from this modest beginning the State has since risen into prominence, until now the value of her agricultural productions far exceeds that which the sturdy miner obtains as a result of his toil.
Though to-day one of the largest wheat-producing sections in the world, the people of ambitious character are seeking to forge ahead into new industries, and one important branch they appear to have decided upon is likely to yield the most profit is that of fruit raising. For this industry the climate is particularly favorable, and this new departure is likely to result in the full realization of present anticipations.
Up to within the past two or three years, grape culture and the production of raisins have been the principal lines taken up by the agricultural class; and though they have made considerable progress against the Spanish fruit, which has always monopolized the markets of this country, they have not yet succeeded in producing a fruit of great uniform quality; but this certainly is not surprising when the same section of the country is likely to be held in check. Upon car lots the rate varies from $6 to $12, the latter charge when the connection is with a passenger train and quick time insured, down to the former for ordinary transit.
The competition here is not likely to show any great increase. There are to-day in this city four firms engaged in the trade. These are compelled to make heavy advances upon consignments made them, and should the fruit upon arrival prove of poor quality they are often obliged to pocket the loss, unable to obtain return from the shipper. The rate of commission is ten per cent, and the incidental expenses run about two per cent.
The question is asked, Why is not canning done upon a more extensive scale? And we in reply would state that this ultimately will be done, and is properly the only method that can be adopted to insure a profitable return for the labor expended in the raising. California is certainly too far to utilize the Eastern markets with safety; the distance and time of transit is too great, and freight charges cannot be lowered with profit to the railroads.
Earthquake Theories.
A gentleman well-known in scientific circles on this coast said to a San Francisco Call reporter: It appears to be the general judgment of geologists and especially those who combine a clear knowledge of mechanics, that earthquakes result primarily from a contraction of the earth's surface, and it is astonishing how small a dislocation will create a great shock, extending from the locus of the fracture. Those who recollect the dropping of one end of the great rectangular tube of the Menai Strait bridge, through the MORE WATER FOR THE PAST TWO HAS BEEN GROWING FARMERS OF THE SCHOOL WOULD BE NECESSARY WAY, THE SUPPLY OF THE DRY SEason. To some extent, by above the head of time the area to be gradually being season it is certain "trans," and the trees must have wet dry so that the leaf to estimate to what injured. This has two years, and then enough to put the farmers to devising edy it.
The lake in the Ana, has been often admired and the Direcured it to the Waite years. Good judge all express the opinion all the water necessary keep the canal up to required.

Up to within the past two or three years, grape culture and the production of raisins have been the principal lines taken up by this agricultural class; and though they have made considerable progress against the Spanish fruit, which has always monopolized the markets of this country, they have not yet succeeded in producing a fruit of equal uniform quality; but this certainly is not surprising when the age of the Spanish industry is given consideration. The growers and packers of California, however, deserve great credit for the progress they have made, and their persistent efforts to raise the standard of their goods. In the past may have sought to hurry their product to market, and in their endeavors have neglected to give proper care to the curing, and have also failed to pack in as attractive a manner as the Spanish. These facts, however, are matters that time will overcome, and in a few years probably California raisins will be as common in our markets as the Mediterranean fruit has been in the past.
The raising of fresh fruit for Eastern markets has suddenly sprung into prominence, and a large portion of the Southern half of the State is rapidly being placed under cultivation. Attention is being given more seriously to peaches, apricots, plums, or and more than numerous other fruits of small size it extensively raised. The greatest drawback to this branch of industry is the matter of weight rates to Eastern pests. The fruit matures there a month or six weeks before that of local growth, and on this account commands annually extreme prices, particularly for the earlier arrivals.
We have taken some pains to investigate the trade, present and prospective, and to arrive at some conclusion relative to the proportions it is likely to assume in this vicinity.
The most important matters connected with the business are the rates of freight and the risks of condition upon arrival. During the present season the packers upon the Pacific Coast have profited by past experience and have sought to improve upon the condition of the fruit when ready for shipment, and have also endeavored to pack with careful care. This has, in a measure, brought them increased returns; yet upon the whole, the business cannot be said to be a profitable one. Pears and plums are more of a perishable character than other descriptions. No matter what care is taken previous to shipping, a seven to ten days' journey across the continent serves to hurry the progress of decay, and the result is that the fruit, as a rule, arrives in poor order, and thus is difficult of sale. Peaches bear the struggle fairly well, but the risk of shipping is hardly compensated for by the retards. Changes are far far the most profitable fruit for this market. There is always a ready sale, and as a rule at remunerative Earthquake Theories.
A gentleman well-known in scientific circles on this coast said to a San Francisco Call reporter: It appears to be the general judgment of geologists and especially those who combine a clear knowledge of mechanics, that earthquakes result primarily from a contraction of the earth's surface, and it astonishing how small a dislocation will create a great shock, extending from the bones of the fracture. Those who recollect the drapping of one end of the great rectangular tube of the Menai Strait bridge, through the space of one inch, will recall the great ant sections damage to the gigantic tube. All the great faults in the stratification of the immediate surface of the earth have apparently taken place by the sudden yielding of the shells so to speak. These faults are seen on a grand scale on the great plateau embracing the canyon of the Colorado; they are seen in all the coal mines throughout the United States, and unfortunately some of our miners have followed a rich vein until it suddenly ended in a fault. Major Powell has doubtless hit the mark, when he says there is a line of faulting all along the line of the Atlantic seaboard; this exhibits itself as a dropping down at one part of the earth's surface nearest the ocean, not less than 200 or 300 feet, as shown at Niagara and also in the water power districts of Pennsylvania, Virginia, the Carolinas and Georgia. And naturally, if there is any future contraction, this line being the weakest, will be first to give way. Our greatest San Francisco earthquake, October 21, 1868, had its location under San Francisco we should have felt it probably more severely than Charleston has done. As it was, the wave of disturbance was transmitted along the yielding bottom of the Bay of San Francisco to the hard rock around our city front, where the largest amount of damage was done.
One thing seems certain, that electricity plays no part in any earthquake disturbance. The latest deductions of competent investigators point to our atmosphere as the home of electrical phenomena. There may not be enough connective facts to establish a theory thereon, but the facts do not point to the matter of the earth itself as the birthplace of electrical exhibitions. Therefore, when electrical phenomena occur at the epoch of an earthquake, they may be regarded as an accident or consequence. In the matter of atmospheric phenomena, we know that where great eruptions have accompanied earthquakes, as at Krakatoa, the harborometer exhibits waves of varying pressure, and in this instance they were traced around the world. Also where great earthquakes occur without eruptions, as in Japan in 1854 and in Chile during the last twenty years, the earthwave traveled through the great oceans with wonderful rapidity. The earthquakes of Chili and Krakatoa were recorded by this means at San Francisco, and the latter reported before the intelligence all the water necessary keep the canal up to required. Some experts sent that one hour now going to waste you. This may or even seems reasonable to hear he can be drawn out and that is all that now is; will these interests vote leaved sufficient to lift the water from that main canal.

Peaches bear the truer fairly well, but the risk of shipping is hardly compensated by the retardation. Oranges are by far the most profitable fruit for this market. There is always a ready sale, and as a rule at remunerative prices, though the value fluctuates with that of Mediterranean growth. The latter certainly have a positive advantage over the California in the matter of transportation rates; the freight in most instances not exceeding twenty-five cents per box from Sicilian ports.
The quantity of California fruit received here this year has been somewhat less than last, though the receipts at Chicago have been somewhat greater. The reason for this is frequently found in the fact that less time is taken in the transit to that city, and rates of freight to that point offer an advantage, while the condition of the fruit is much better than can be offered here. It is frequently the case that when an extra fine carload is received at Chicago, that the commission merchant or owner there forwards the same to this market, as he is desirous of retaining his connection here and also of keeping the fruit before the public.
The prices obtained this season have not been very satisfactory. Pears of strictly could quality have brought $3.50 to $4.00 per box of 40 pounds; but a very large proportion of the receipts have consisted of purely or wholly decayed fruit, and it has been frequently the case that $1 has been totally excruciated. Plums have sold at $3 for best in 20 pound boxes, but later dropped as low as $2.25. Oranges sold early in the season at $3.75, subsequently advanced in sympathy with Mediterranean to $4.50. Taken as whole, the prices upon all descriptions are averaged twenty-five per cent, better than last year.
As we have before stated, the question of freight rates is of the greatest importance, and probably upon this account the trade in
A Thousand-Pound Pudding
On June 16th there were great rejoices at Angleton, a village near Ormskirk. Lancashire, on the celebration of what is known as "Angleton Pudding Feast," which occurs once every twenty-one years. It appears that about a century ago a flourishing firm of wand weavers lived in the place, and constructed for the purposes of trade an immense oblong boiler. When erected it was inaugurated by cooking in it a large plum pudding of about a ton weight. This pudding was 20 feet long and 6 feet thick, while a dozen young men could scarcely raise it from the ground. The ceremony has been repeated four times at regular intervals. On the present occasion the pudding, which weighed 1,000 pounds, was provided by public subscription, and after being carried in procession around the village was distributed among the villagers and visitors. Notes and Queries.

MORE WATER, OR NOT.
[Orange Tribune]
For the past two or three seasons the idea has been growing in the minds of the fruit farmers of the Santa Ana Valley that it would be necessary to increase, in some way, the supply of water for irrigation in the dry season. The water is being cut off, to some extent, by irrigators on the river, above the head of our ditch, and at the same time the area to be irrigated in this valley is gradually being extended. During the dry season it is certainly too long between "runs," and the orchards suffer. Orange trees must have water, and when the roots dry so that the leaves shrivel up, it is hard to estimate to what extent the orchard is injured. This has been the case in the past two years, and the trouble has been serious enough to put the more thoughtful of our farmers to devising ways and means to remedy it.
The lake in the canyon, above old Santa Ana, has been often alluded to in these columns and the Directors have leased or secured it to the Water Company for thirty years. Good judges have examined it, and all express the opinion that it will furnish all the water necessary in the dry season to keep the canal up to the quantity of water required. Some experienced men have asserted that one hundred heads of water are now going to waste in the Santa Ana canyon. This may or may not be so, but it seems reasonable to think that at least ten heads can be drawn from it when wanted, and that is all that is necessary. The question now is, will the stockholders in the water interests vote to have an assessment levied sufficient to put in the machinery to lift the water from this lake, and put it in the main canal?
southern part of the town is flooded and the cellars filled with water. The flow continues unabated, making two rivers through the lower part of the city. In helplessness the Mayor to-day applied to the hydraulic engineering science of Chicago for relief.
Acrimonious Statesmen.
New York, Sept. 2. —The Tribune's London special says: The temper and manners of the House are daily getting worse. Clark, the Scotch advocate of the Crofters, called the Duke of Argyll a robber and a sanctimonious prig. Baumann retorted that Clark's language was that of vulgar and venomous scurrility. Illingworth told Lord Randolph Churchill that his rebuking other members for waiting time was a case of Satan rebuking sin, and Conybear assured the Conservative leader that the House regarded him with contempt. The Irish party occasionally takes a hand in this game, but most of the Irish members are content to look on while the English and Scotch members exchange compliments across the floors. The English and Scotch Radicals, in fact, seem disposed to relieve the Irish allies of the duty of embarrassing the Government and of prolonging the session. Some forty of them held a meeting Tuesday. Those present were mostly Radicals of the extreme type. They declare themselves to be dissatisfied with the present management of the Liberal party, and complain of whips as insolient. Illingworth said that the interests of the Radical party were not sufficiently put before Parliament. Conybear, who has already tried the patience of the House, was in favor of fighting the Government at all times. The cry is general among these men for what they call a more active policy, pursued with determination.
ADVICE TO FRUIT SHIPPERS.
New York, Sept. 3. —The Times, in an editorial headed "California Products in Our Markets," says: The efforts recently made by the California fruit-growers to sell their products in Eastern markets, do not, in the opinion of some Eastern papers, indicate that the eastward movement of California fruit will be continued. The California paper reply that those who grow fruit in that State and ship it to Eastern cities are not discouraged; they are content with the progress thus far made, and inasmuch as they take all the risk, they do not think that they stand in need of Eastern pity.
We hope nothing will check the development of the fruit-growing industry in California, or the extension of the California trade in fruit, green or dried, for which we now depend, in a great measure, upon foreign producers. The development of the production in California of lemons, oranges, raisins, olives, prunes, almonds, wine and other articles of consumption, for which we now pay millions every year to foreign countries, should be encouraged by the whole nation. The growth of California's fruit trade in the East depends mainly upon the rates of transportation.
California shippers should carefully study the Eastern market before shipping their fruit to us. They should ship fruit with which we are not well supplied by our own producers. For example, the California shipper cannot hope to build up here a large a large and profitable trade in grapes, and if he sends oranges he must compete with the excellent fruit of Florida. On the other hand, there are products of California that should compete successfully in the East with imported products of California that should compete successfully in the East with imported products of California that should compete successfully in the East with imported products of California that should compete successfully in the East with imported products of California that should compete successfully in the East with imported products of California that should compete successfully in the East with imported products of California that should compete successfully in the East with imported products of California that should compete successfully in
On Monday the Board of Directors held a meeting to decide this question, as far as they were able to do so. Mr. Bishop, representing the San Francisco Tool Company, was in attendance, and after showing his plans, made a proposition in substance as follows: To put in an engine and pump capable of raising 10,000 gallons a minute about ten heads—40 feet, and put it in working order, giving a written guarantee that it will do the work claimed for it, and giving it six days' trial, for $17,000. He is to put up a building over the engine and pump, and finish the job in good style. He guarantees that the engine shall do the work by the use of 25 pounds of good coal an hour to each horsepower. He claims that his company know more about pumping machinery than any company in America, and are not making any experiments, but know just what they can do, and guarantee their work. Mr. Bishop claims to have had much experience in water business, and after a careful inspection of the canyon and the lake, he gives it as his opinion that there is water enough going to waste there to irrigate the whole of the valley, and to use his language, to make it "the garden of the world."
The Directors have decided to accept his proposition, as far as they are concerned. They have no power under the by-laws, to assess to the amount required, and that question must be settled by a vote of the stockholders at the next regular annual meeting, which comes on the first Tuesday, or 5th of October. At that meeting the question of an assessment will be decided, and if in the affirmative, the S.F. Tool Company will attend do the work. They are to have the work completed by May 1st, 1887, but will probably do it much sooner, as it will be cheaper for them to put in the plant while the ground is dry.
The assessment will amount to $1.25 per share. We believe that it will be voted by a large majority, as every man is directly interested, and every man who owns a farm here knows that he must have water to be successful. The matter should be thoroughly canvassed, and a full vote brought out. The columns of the Tables are open to the discussion, and if any of the stockholders feel disposed to give their views on the question, we shall gladly print them.

A Mistake in the Beef Tea
A Meridian local physician prescribed beef tea for a companion an extended session.
Some forty of them held a meeting Tuesday. Those present were mostly radicals of the extreme type. They declare themselves to be dissatisfied with the present management of the Liberal party, and complain of whips as inefficient. Blingworth said that the interests of the Radical party were not sufficiently put before Parliament. Gonybear, who has already tried the patience of the House, was in favor of fighting the Government at all times. The cry is general among these men for what they call a more active policy, combined with action. This means that the Radicals are ready to proceed with obstruction, which Parnell thinks at present mischievous.
A $100,000,000 Treasure
There is nearly $100,000,000 in coin and bullion in charge of its department. Fox at the mint, and Assistant Treasurer Eyster. At the sub-treasury yesterday there was stored $19,275,450 in standard silver dollars, and $8401,120 in smaller coins, making total $1836750. Assistant Treasurer Kyster and there was no more room in the city where Government money could be safely stored and that it was a great nuisance to have such conditions quantities on hand. The $11,000,000 now stored at the Postoffice bring the figures up to $24,667,-560, and in the meantime for billion and coin there is nearly $15364500 more. In queitable in the most there is stored $10,000,000 or $510 and $270 gold pieces.
Suggested treaty Fox although admitting that there was an enormous amount of money in his study, continued to give the exact figures. He says: "I do not think it would be wise or safe for me to give out an official statement of the wealth stored here; there is so much agitation going on. I am not afraid of arrestists exactly, but still it would be impossible to let the public know of all the money stored here.
It is only a few days ago that a Gatling gun arrived at the muni to help guard the treasure warden. Besides there are two big racks full of loaded carbines, and a dozen men, well armed, stalk up and down through the building all night long, and on the exterior watchmen gate up and down in the side yards. Down at the sub-treasury half a dozen watchmen guard the millions that are stored there, and at the Postoffice superintendent Fox has statined six men. Three of them are on duty at night, and they go about in gun shops, armed to the teeth. The oil refiner men guard the treasure in the day time. Superintendent Fox had the room in the Postoffice, in which the waters are located, waited up with heavy timbers, which have been painted white, and he says it would be a hard job for any one to get at the silver stored there. -Philadelphia Times.

More Water Than Wanted
CEDAR RATIOS, Iowa. Aug. 31. — William Weir and sons began boring an artesian well at the intersection of Beech and Washington streets, Belleplain, on a flat about four blocks south of the Burley House. The contract called for a well with three-luck casing and flow guaranteed. They bored a two-inch hole and the orized that the flow of water through it would wash it out so they could sink three-inch casing. On Thursday they struck water at a depth of 185 feet. At this time they had about sixty feet of three-inch casing down, and the water rose with a strong force twelve feet above the surface in a solid three-inch stream, plainly showing the strongest flow yet struck. Friday morning the flow was under control; but during the forenoon, in an attempt to force a three-inch tube into a two-inch hole, it broke loose and wore away a sufficient space outside the tubing to allow the water to boil out around the tubing at the surface. At sandown on Friday a stream of water a foot in diameter was pouring out. At 9:30 the city authorities were appealed to to take control and give relief from impending danger. Already many lots and houses were more or less flooded. At 9 P.M. a gang of men were set at work, the Mayor and City Council personally superintending. Until nearly morning all expedients were tried, but the water could not be controlled. On Saturday morning it was proposed that a fifteen inch tubing could be driven down to the blue clay, believed to be about fifty feet down, and by thus confining the flow to a common center the outside flow could be stopped, and then the one in the tubing controlled. The scheme failed, however. It is impossible to estimate the damages. The three of them are on duty at night, and they go about in gum ships, armed to the teeth. The oil pressure men guard the treasure in the day time. Superintendent Fox had the room in the Population, in which the vaults are located, wafted up with heavy timbers, which have been painted white, and he says it would be a hard job for any one to get at the silver stored there. — Philipelphin Trace.
A Mistake in the Beef Tea.
A Meriden local physician prescribed beef tea for a convulsive patient, giving directions for making the tea. The directions were enclose the finely-chopped meat in a glass bottle, then boil, by placing the whole in a pot of water. The directions were carried out as far as the boiling the bottle of meat in the pot of water was concerned. But instead of mixing the finely-chopped and bottled meat with water and giving it to the patient, as directed, the lally gave the sick person the hot water in which the bottle was boiled, and the patient remarked that she has in fact anything so good in a long time. — Margord Colburn.
The Pennsylvania Gas Wells.
Pittsburgh, Sept. 3. — It is reported from the Washington and Westmoreland county fields that the flow of natural gas has diminished. In some districts the pressure has decreased to a remarkable degree. The pressure of Grape Villa well, twenty miles from this city, has increased from 800 to 1,000 pounds to the square inch, and the flow is absolutely uncontrollable. On the other hand, the Pennsylvania Company has been unable to supply three of its manufacturing customers. Private consumers were obliged eat cold meats. Some people attribute the decrease in the flow to the earthquake.
Unnecessary Misery.
Probably as much misery comes from habitual constipation as from any derangement of the functions of the body, and it is difficult to cure, for the reason that no one likes to take the medicines usually prescribed. HAMBURG FIGS were prepared to obviate this difficulty, and they will be found pleasant to the taste of women and children. 25 cents. At all druggists. J. J. Mack & Co., proprietors, S. F.
The Oleomargarine Laws.
All imitation of butter is, under the law, called "oleomargarine."
Manufacturers must file a bond of $5,000 or more, shall put up a sign, pay $600 a year license, and put on each vessel stamps at two cents per pound.
Wholesalers must pay $48 license and must sell from the original packages.
Retailers must pay $48 license and must sell from the original packages.
Imported oleomargarine must be stamped fifteen cents per pound.
The vessels cannot be used a second time.
The penalties are: Manufacturers, $1,000 to $5,000; wholesalers, $500 to $2,000; retailers, $50 to $500.
Whoever knowingly purchases unstamped oleomargarine is liable to $50 fine; and who over knowingly purchases from a manufacturer who has not paid the license tax is liable to $100 fine.
The law goes into effect October 30. Its execution will be in the hands of the internal revenue department, and the tobacco rules apply to its enforcement. Provision is made for analytical chemists and microscopists.
To Clean Glass and Silverware.
Egg-shells crushed into small bits, and shaken well in decanters three parts filled with cold water, will not only clean them thoroughly, but make the glars look like new. By rubbing with a flannel dipped in the best whiting the brown discoloration may be taken off of cups in which custards have been baked. Again, all of us are aware that emery powder will remove ordinary stains from the white ivory knife handles, and that the luster of Morocco leather is restored by varnishing with the white of egg. Nothing it is said is better to clean silver with than alcohol or ammonia, finishing with a little whiting on a soft cloth. When putting away the silver tea or coffee-pot, which is not in use every day, lay a stick across the top under the cover. This will allow fresh air to get in, and prevent the mustiness of the contents familiar to boarding house sufferers.
