HOW SHIPPERS Prevented Glut in the Eastern Markets Through unty of action, California's shippers of deciduous fruits this season have succeeded in distributing their products in the Eastern markets, that they in no way came in competition with one another. The result has been an extended market, better prices and enormous saving in expense. The medium through which these results have been obtained is the organization known as the California Fruit Distributors, which was formed a year ago, and which now handles fully 96 per cent. of the deciduous fruit shipped from this State. DISADVANTAGES OF THE OLD SYSTEM. Prior to the organization of the association, shippers labored under the greatest disadvantages. Each aimed to keep his business from the other. Shippments were made under the greatest secrecy. The result was that a city like Boston where three cars of peaches, for example, might sell at good figures, was at any time liable to have five times that amount sent in from as many different firms, which would cut the price to a minimum; or it was just as liable to be left without any shipments at all, where a moderate amount of fruit would have commanded good prices. In instances where a given shipment brought good returns, the most demoralizing effects followed. Shippers would rush to get cars of fruit to that particular market, expecting to sell at the figures of the recent sale. This course brought directly contrary results. A dozen or more cars arriving at the market at one time glutted it; the shippers were forced to sell what they could get, bidding against one another for low prices. Thus, while a city like Chicago might on a given day have a superabundance of fruit, other cities, like Cleveland, Pittsburgh or Philadelphia, might be entirely without it. In a week the condition of glutted market might shift to any one of these last named points, but the conditions would be in no way bettered for the shippers, who would be confronted with the same glutted market at one point and fruit famine at another. RUINOUS COMPETITION. Fruit shipped on consignment met practically the same conditions. That which went to other than points where regular auctions of fruit are held went to persons who were not financially interested in it, with the result that the product of one California shipper was received in competitor with that of another. The Eastern vote in the fixing of policies and outlining general business directions. Representation is thus not based on the volume of business done, but rather on the individuals represented. OUTSIDE COMPETITION. As has been stated, shippers of 96 per cent. of California deciduous fruits now turn their packed cars over to the organization for distribution. So admirable is the theory upon which it is organized, and so practical has its working been, that there can be no division of opinion as to the utility of the organization. Unity of action on the part of California shippers has brought better conditions for buyer as well as seller, widened the market, and consumed the fruit. Were California the only fruit shipping State, the problem of distribution would be all but settled. There are, however, other fruit-growing districts, and to these their local transportation companies have catered. Fruit thus shipped comes into competition with California products. While this competition may interfere with the absolutely perfect working of the California scheme, it at the same time shows the necessity of complete unity on the part of California shippers, in the best results are to obtain. With the exception of grapes, California deciduous fruits do not interfere materially with the organization's work, for with this one exception, practically all the deciduous fruits of the State are distributed through the central office. Some grape shippers sending out from fifteen to fifty cars apiece are not reporting their shipments, which causes greater difficulty in regulating the supply of grapes at Eastern points than any other fruit. EXTENT OF THE BUSINESS. There will be shipped from the State this year about 700 carloads of deciduous fruits, 7200 or which, distributed in 125 Eastern cities, will be handled by the organization. The net returns on this fruit to Californiaians will be approximately $500 a car; thus there will be netted to Californiaians this year for fruit shipped through the organization, approximately $3,600,000, practically organized, that the expenses are comparatively insignificant. One percent is charged on all business handled. In a hundred ways are savings made. For instance, all tedograms are sent through the central office, reducing the telegraphic tolls to a minimum. In fact, the saving on telegrams alone is sufficient to pay all the operating expenses of the organization. Then, too, the larger the volume of fruit handled the greater is the saving. Friction, in a word, has been practically done away with, resulting in the greatest returns at the expense of the least effort, and effort in fruit shipping means outlay. NECESSITY OF REGULAR TRANSPORTATION. The shipping or fruit having thus been placed upon a practical business basis, the matter of regular transportation facilities becomes the most secessary to get back, and all snipmen in California deciduous fruits are now riveting overtime in the various eateries. ADVANTAGES OF CALIFORNIA FRUIT. So long as California deciduous is not made to compete with its eastern market, it has enough advantage over that from other states. California fruit is noted for good carrying qualities. When desired fruit that will look well on stands, or fruit for re-shipment, take the California varieties, and willing to pay good prices or if so as they are assured that the price does not cut. This is one of the strongest arguments in favor of the action which the California shipper are now taking through the organization under discussion. It is also reason why the transportation companies should exercise every effort get the fruit to market on schedule; that is may arrive in convenient display or for reshipment. THE RAILROAD SIDE. The contention made by the railroad is that if the shippers would give a regularity of supplies daily, and finally route it direct to its destination they could figure on this business a greater degree of certainty and nearer adhering to their schedules. But that is practically possible. The changing conditions all the markets on account of this desirable nature of the goods in question and because of the fact that clear conditions in any place will disturb normal conditions affecting nearby supplies makes the change of definition of cars from time to time ultimately necessary. The only way seems feasible is for the transport companies to start a special express freight service, and run trains through regardless of their ber of cars offered them. If two loads are offered for themabeo loads are offered for one train any given day they could readily up the balance of a train with or with other freight, which they take through on fast time without damage to themselves or their bus. A REMEDY. Said a prominent shipper in doing this point recently: "The students of all transportation companies have to do with the transport this perishable product, if they try to build this industry up and to use necessary and proper so should absolutely refuse to have things to do with the movement of excursion trains or convention during the height of the decline fruiting shipping season, and she and fruit growers of California should take vigorous measures through shipping organizations to see that matter is properly placed before presidents and the traffic管理局 all interested roads." ACHIEVEMENTS AND POSSESSIONS TIES. RUINOUS COMPETITION. Fruit shipped on consignment met practically the same conditions. That which went to other than points where regular auctions of fruit are held went to persons who were not financially interested in it, with the result that the product of one California shipper was received in competition with that of another. The Eastern dealers would constantly cut prices against one another. Shippers in California would receive telegrams to the effect that their competitors were of fering fruit for such and such prices usually five, ten or fifteen cents per package less than their quotations with the statement that if they wish to do business they would have to meet the cut. Thus the tendency, no matter under what plan of sale the fruit was shipped, was to bring the shipper into sharp competition with each other to demoralise the market and cut prices. UNITY OF ACTION NECESSARY Such conditions, shippers recognized must continue so long as the ruinous lack of unity of action was continued. A number of packers and shippers accordingly met to consider plans for more intelligent distribution of their products. The theory upon which they acted was that the markets using California fruit could use a certain quantity at good prices if given it in proper proportion and with regularity. It was recognized that it was better to distribute the fruit intelligently and properly than to follow the old system of independent shipments, gluttened markets and irregular returns. To over come these evils the California Fruit Distributors organized that unity of action might be secured. The organization includes practically all the shippers of deciduous fruit in California, 9 per cent. of all the deciduous fruit shipped from the State this year having been handled by it. PLAN OF OPERATION. The organization has nothing to do with the fruit until the car is packed and the bill of lading sent to the association's headquarters in this city. The car is then disposed of for the account of the party loading it. Once the bill of lading is received the management aims to place fruit in the best market. Thoroughly conversant with conditions at every fruit buying center of the East, the management sees to it that the shipment will not be brought into competition with other California fruit. The shipment happens to be peaches the car will be sent where it is known peaches are in demand, not to some point that is glutted with them, as repeatedly happened under the old order. One instance will show the care with which these shipments are controlled by the central office. The bill of lading for a car of fruit shipped to St Paul was received last week. The car was loaded with fruit for which there was no demand at St Paul. Under the old conditions, however, it would have gone on to St Paul, to find no market and attending loss. As soon as the bill of lading was received at the Sacramento office, the car, then rolling was ordered turned from St Paul and sent to Omaha. Before it could reach Omaha, however, the agent at that place had disposed of it to better a vantage than Omaha offered, in Gran Forks, N. D., to which point the fruit was most in demand and sold at the best prices. The policy of the organization is thus to seek the best market and allot to each grower and shipper a fair and proper proportion of the shipments to each. WHAT HAS BEEN ACCOMPLISHED The organization has come away well all conglomerates of fruit whereoy receivers in the least can take fruiting. RUEINOUS COMPETITION.

Then you should whisper his partner that he may ingest down street or get WHAT HAS BEEN ACCOMPLISHED The organization has gone away with all consignments of fruit whereoy receivers in the last count take fruit in which they had no financial interest and put it in competition with other fruit, purchased or consigned from California. All fruit not sent to regular auction points in the East, is sold on what is known as the "F.O.B. California basis;" that is, prices are arranged in California, and a draft drawn on the shipping documents on the Eastern purchaser. From time to time minimum prices are fixed on the fruit thus shipped, at figures which it is adjudged the fruit is worth, and no fruit distributed by the organization is sold below such figures. The result has been largely increased purchase of fruit from the points that heretofore received the same on consignment, and there is no diminution of the distribution on that account. Buyers have taken quite freely to the idea, as they have no hesitancy in purchasing fruit if they know their competitors cannot purchase the same commodity for less money than they are paying. Incidental to the increase of business at points which have heretofore received fruit on consignment, has been the development of the selling of fruit en route. The association has agents at all large purchasing points. To the agent at Omaha, for example, the contents of a certain number of cars, with prices, are telegraphed each day, with instructions to sell en route. So admirably has the plan worked that fully 60 per cent, of the F.O.B. shipments are disposed of in this way, and California fruit has been introduced into markets where it is in demand, brings good prices, but where it has never been seen in quantities up to this season. More than twenty cities, which never before purchased a carload of California fruit, this year became carload purchasers. MEMBERSHIP.

Long as California deciduous fruits are now arising overtime in the various eastern states, it made to compete with itself in eastern market, it has enormous advantage over that from other districts. California fruit is noted for its carrying qualities. When dealers fruit that will look well on the trees, or fruit for re-shipment, they are the California varieties, and are long to pay good prices or it so long they are assured that the prices will be cut. This is one of the strongest elements in favor of the unity which the California shippers know taking through the organization under discussion. It is also strong on why the transportation companies should exercise every effort to the fruit to market on schedule that is may arrive in condition display or for reshipment. THE RAILROAD SIDE. The contention made by the railroads that if the shippers would give them regularity of supplies daily, and originate route direct to its destination could figure on this business with greater degree of certainty and come after adhering to their promise rules. But that is practically impossible. The changing conditions in the markets on account of the perennial nature of the goods in question because of the fact that climatic conditions affecting nearby fruit trees, makes the change of destination of cars from time to time absolutely necessary. The only way that is feasible is for the transportation agencies to start a special expedited freight service, and run their trains through regardless of the number of cars offered them. If two train services are offered for them, hourly trains are offered for one train upon given day, they could readily make the balance of a train with oranges with other freight, which they could through on fast time without any usage to themselves or their business. A REMEDY. A prominent shipper in discuss-this point recently; "The presides of all transportation companies do to with the transporting of perishable product, if they desire this industry up and to give necessary and proper service and absolutely refuse to have anything to do with the movement of any perishable trains or convention parties regarding the height of the deciduous shipping season, and the shippers fruit growers of California ought take vigorous measures through the organizing organizations to see that this pier is properly pincered before the students and the traffic managers o. interested roads." HEVEMENTS AND POSSIBILITIES. What Is Gossip? There has been complaint from the beginning of history that women are "curious." What is curiosity? It is the uneasy appetite of an ill fed mind. People fully educated and fully employed are not curious. Civilized woman has inherited the mental growth of man and then has had to confine that enlarged capacity to precisely the same field of activity which was sufficient for a squaw. Women have been accused for centuries of a tendency to "gossip." What is gossip? It is small talk about other people. The tendency to this vice is a reaction from the persistent presence of our own affairs. Success. Engene Field's Sacrism. Engene Field was once presented to a "sister poet," to whom he tried to say pleasant things. At last the lady inquired condescendingly, "Do you ever write yourself?" "A little," replied Field modestly. "And what did you say your name was?" "My name is Field—Engene Field." "I have not heard of you before, Mr. Field," said the lady, with oppressive frankness. "No, madam," said Field. "nor I of you; but you might at least have pretended you had, as I did. Good afternoon." His Only Opportunity. Coming downtown on an elevated express from Harlem last week the following impromptu lecture created considerable amusement among the passengers who heard it: "Look here, Bob, you are an excellent talker, and it is always a pleasure to listen to you at the proper time and place. But there are a great many things in this newspaper that I want to know, and if I listen to you I shall not know them until night. I haven't an hour or two a day to read the paper in my office, as you have. If I don't read it now I shall have to take it home, or maybe not read it at all. Now, keep quiet, like a good fellow. Sorry you haven't a paper, but I'll tear you off the first page of this one as soon as I have read it." "Good for you!" said a man who was reading while hanging to a strap, and a score of passengers who knew how it was themselves were heartless enough to laugh.—New York Times. Rearranging the Basis.

FACTS ABOUT ANAHEIM, Sketch of the industries and Resources of the Most Beautiful Part of California. The City of Anaheim, with a population of 2500, is situated in the northern part of Orange county, in Southern California, 12 miles from the ocean, 4½ miles from the foothills, and 148½ feet above sea level. It is 27 miles from Los Angeles, the second largest city in the State of California. The climatic conditions are the most favorable for out-door life to be found in Southern California. The temperature is extremely uniform, seldom rising above 90 degrees in summer, or falling below 32 degrees in winter. The abundance of sunlight and the absence of sharp frosts and cold winds make it a place especially acceptable to those desiring to escape the severe climate of the east. The country is very attractive. It is practically level, with just sufficient slope from the hills to afford adequate drainage. The roads are level, well graded, and well kept, affording excellent opportunities for cycling and driving. The soil is a rich sandy loam which never bakes making it a very easy ground to work; thus lending itself readily to the cultivation of berries, nuts, oranges, etc. The variety of products, and the possibility of procuring small tracts of land at low figures, and on easy terms, make our section of the county very attractive and advantageous for truck raising, or for farming on a small scale. The following are a few of the products: oranges, lemons, walnuts, grapes, peaches, apricots, sugar beets, berries and vegetables of all kinds. Anaheim is the possessor of a Building and Loan Association. Water company, two railroads, fruit cannery and drier, large oil industry, ostrich farm, bank, several adequate commercial houses, two hotels and two newspapers. The city also owns its water and lighting plant. FACTS ABOUT ORANGE CO.

The census bureau has issued a bulletin on agriculture in California which we quote from extensively in another part of this issue. One of the interesting features of the report is the paragraph giving the number of farms and acres of farming land in the five Southern California counties. The pre-eminence of Orange county is apparent: Countles. No. farms. Acres. Los Angeles...6577 805,063 Orange...2388 599,436 Riverside...2340 427,087 San Bernardino...2350 219,132 San Diego...2608 809,414 But it is in the acreage of irrigated lands that Orange county takes easy precedence over the other counties of Southern California: Countles. Acres. Los Angeles...85,044 Orange...41,549 Riverside...32,947 San Bernardino...37,877 San Diego...16,022 The area of Orange county is 780 square miles; that of Los Angeles, 1880; that of Riverside, 7008; that of San Bernardino, 20,055, and that of San Diego, 8400 square miles. Orange county thus contains one-fifth the area of Los Angeles; yet its irrigated lands approach in area to one-half those of its neighbor to the north. Riverside embraces nine times its area, yet it irrigates 9000 more acres, or a fourth more than the belauded county on the east. San Bernardino is 25 times its size, yet its irrigated acres exceed those of this jumbo county by nearly 4000, approximately ten per cent. San Diego is eleven times its size, yet it irrigates 25,000 acres more than the county on the south—300 percent is the former's irrigated area compared with that of the latter almost the irrigated area of San Diego and Riverside combined. Orange county possesses the finest system of irrigation, the most secure water rights, that exist in Southern California. That is what we have said many a time and oft. These figures prove it. It is the handsomest and most productive county that lies outdoors and is settling up faster than any other in the State. MISSING WORDS. Annoying Gaps in English Language That Cause Inconveniences. The English language may fairly claim to be the most prolific in the world. Not content with its native niches, it possesses in a special degree the faculty of assimilating everything useful from other tongues, ancient and modern. It ought indeed to be the most perfect vehicle of thought in the world, and in some respects no doubt it is. But, curiously enough, there are deficiencies in English not to be found in far less copious languages. While in many cases we have half a dozen words expressing the same or practically the same thing, there are, on the other hand, certain ideas that have no appropriate words to express them. In the words denoting relationship some notable gaps are found. The most glaring instance is the want of a word to distinguish between a male and female cousin. Other languages, such as French and Italian, have a separate word for each, but in English some addition or explanation is required in order to make it clear which sex is intended. Curious gaps occur here and there in our language if we look into it. The word "show" expresses the idea of making to see, but there is no word for making to hear—a phonograph, for example. "I took the phonograph to my friend and"—What? "Got him to listen to it" would probably be the inellegant finish to the sentence. On the other hand, "audience" means those who hear and applies very well to those present in a lecture hall or concert room. But what of those who see a cricket match, for instance? "Speakers" is the nearest word, but it does not correspond exactly to "audience." There is one deficiency in the language so awkward and irritating that even at this late hour it ought to be made good. Need it be said that reference is made to indiscriminate use of the personal pronoun to denote either the person speaking or the person spoken of? This may not be a defect peculiar to English, but it is one from which the ancient classical tongues are entirely free. "He said he had offered him money which he had declined," would be quite comprehensible either in Greek or Latin, but in English it necessitates a number of bracketed explanations which Nothing Cheap About Them There's nothing "cheap" about Rock Island tourist sleepers—except the price of tickets.
