The Oakland Grouch San Bernardino Sun The dispatches to the Sun yesterday morning tell of a rather notable gathering held in Oakland the day before, the purpose of which is to organize a movement within the republican party that shall wrest control in state politics from the "machine" or the "organization" or the Southern Pacific railroad, by whatever name one prefers to denominate that influence. That a movement will rise in California politics, one of these days, that will eliminate the Southern Pacific as an active influence in republican and democratic politics alike, we have not the slightest doubt. And hail the day! That it should be able to wield the influence it does if both organizations, and generally bring it about that it secures a legislature that will not be obstreperous and elect United States senators that will not be antagonistic, is small credit to the State of California. The anti-machine cry is coming to be a slogan to conjure with and to win victories by, and while perhaps no other state has been more completely under subjection than has California, even here the worm will turn, and when the man and the occasion meet, California politics will get such a turning over as they have not had in a generation. But we do not yet see on the horizon the man who is to lead the movement, and we are quite sure that his name is not George C. Pardee, the hardest loser that ever went down to defeat in politics. And that's about all there is to be said at present concerning the Oakland conference. It may develop something, but it will have to shake itself loose from the senatorial aspirations of the ex-governor before it goes added by the use of current of preservation. The place have agents in the field due fruit-packing season for the pose of working with these learning their methods and ing them as to the best way ing the quantity of sulphur.

But we do not yet see on the horizon the man who is to lead the movement, and we are quite sure that his name is not George C. Pardee, the hardest loser that ever went down to defeat in politics. And that's about all there is to be said at present concerning the Oakland conference. It may develop something, but it will have to shake itself loose from the senatorial aspirations of the ex-governor before it goes far, or it will never get started. Dr. Pardee was squarely and soundly licked in a republican state convention more than a year ago. He was beaten with the rank and file of the republicans of the state long before the convention had assembled, and when the delegates gathered, the "organization" and Abe Ruef saw the direction of the procession, gave orders to their henchmen, and themselves climbed on board the Gillett band wagon and added to the size of the victory. And the Oakland specialist has never ceased to kick about it. The Oakland papers, notably the "Enquirer," where the ex-governor's influence is admitted to be supreme, "beef" day after day, and devote special articles to exposing the doctor's sore spots on Saturday, while the Gillett administration is assailed in season and out of season, for sins of omission and commission, until it has come to be a by-word, in the press of the state, to listen for the grouch from Oakland. We have no doubt but that the voters of the state are ripe for a movement that will drive the railroads out of politics, and with the general sentiment hostile to railroad domination and political dictation, as well as to combination and oppression in the matter of rates and favors, conditions approach those of the political powder magazine, merely needing the right man with the torch. But the ex-governor will not do, and the Oakland conference, at this distance, looks suspiciously like a senatorial boom under false pretenses. Sulphuring Fruit The department of agriculture has undertaken investigations in the California fruit-growing region for the purpose of ascertaining the best methods of drying and preparing less of the fact that the season over and other fruits are for mastery of the market. When the deciduous fruits, lies begin to come in, the same angles declines, but this year of the sort has occurred. One week twelve cars of oranges fered at the outside price of $ While that isn't a record it that the price obtained at this is so high. "It has often been pointed that the quality of the fruit has made with the price at the summer really influences prices more than at any other. This season buyers have taken thing offered and at high Everything we hear points touation of this same satisfaction as long as California oranges be offered." This view was confirmed by other dealers. They are all ecstatic and are confident that this a record year for oranges. There is considerable speculation the crop of the coming but as yet nothing approaching curate forecast is possible. Lieved, however, that it will equal to this year's. Good navels from cold steel going out at high prices now trade can't get enough. The sufficient buyers who want them even at the highest figures, everything offered. It is no question of sales. It is a quick getting the fruit. Foreign lemons are having time just now. Sales during just closed have not been sat. Frequently prices have sharply from 25 to 50 cents largely because of the poor quality of the cargoes offered. The foreign seems practically "tabooed" (New York) market, but a effort is being made by the exporters to have a better quality of these ported. The outlook is not particularly courageous.

This is an extension of the announcement made some time ago concerning the instructions given to the laboratory at San Francisco for the undertaking of tests and investigations with reference to the quantity of sulphur in fruits and the methods to be employed in determining the quantity that is being The effect of Scott's Emulsion on thin pale children is magical.

The plan is to plant in the field during the spring season for the purifying with these growers, their methods and instructions to the best way of keeping quantity of sulphur down. Department will also be enhanced this way to get a general extent in which the sulping added to fruit, and, if it is to check it during the season without the necessity going to prosecutions. As allotted in the memorandum by the acting secretary of state when a representative of California fruit interests was in office, it is not intended to restrict measures of control of the current season except in cases there is manifest care in the use of sulphur produces Bring Big Money In the surprising features of New York fruit market this season a merchant this week, "is inevitable manner in which Calinges continue to sell, regardfact that the season is near and other fruits are crowding day of the market. Generally deciduous fruits, like peach, do come in, the sale of oranges, but this year nothing has occurred. One day this five cars of oranges were off the outside price of $7 per box. It isn't a record it is seldom price obtained at this season. The Clay Turpentine Cup Twenty million turpentine cups are used in the pine forests of the South to catch the flow of resin from the trees, and seven or eight million are added each year. These simple-looking cups, which are not unlike flower pots in size and shape, indicate a rapid and highly important change in the American method of gathering turpentine, due to the need of economy in using all forest products and to the application of science in an old-fashioned industry. The old plan of cutting deep boxes in the trees, in which turpentine collected after running down the scarified trunks, was universal until a few years ago. It was wasteful and destructive. Trees so mutilated survived only about four years. They might continue to live, and they did not fall for years, but their value as turpentine producers was at an end and their value for lumber was seriously lessened. The cup and gutter were devised to take the place of the old wasteful method. No box is needed, and the trunk is left strong and but little injured. Small galvanized iron gutters, attached in a simple yet secure manner to the tree, lead the turpentine from the scarified wood to the cup. The amount thus collected is greater than by the old method, it is of superior quality, and it commands a higher price. Further than this, the tree thus operated upon is productive about eight years, instead of four as under the old method, and produces more often been pointed out that many of the fruit has much to do with price at the summer sales. It influences prices more during war than at any other time. When buyers have taken every care at high values, we hear points to a continuation of this same satisfactory condition as California oranges shall be available. Considerable speculation regarding crop of the coming season, nothing approaching an acceast is possible. It is however, that it will be quite this year's. Travels from cold storage are not at high prices now. The don't get enough. There are buyers who want this stock, the highest figures, to absorb offered. It is no longer a real sales. It is a question of the fruit. Lemons are having a hard show. Sales during the week have not been satisfactory. Prices have declined from 25 to 50 cents per box, because of the poor quality of lemons offered. The foreign lemon actually "tabooed" in this market, but a strenuous effort made by the exchange better quality of the fruit imme- The market promises to deal with foreign stock for years to come. The visible supplying shipments likely to arrive thirty days, aggregates taxes, compared with 202,000 the same time last year. Buyers are secure manner to the tree, lead the turpentine from the scarified wood to the cup. The amount thus collected is greater than by the old method, it is of superior quality, and it commands a higher price. Further than this, the tree thus operated upon is productive about eight years, instead of four as under the old method, and produces more each year. In other words, one tree during its productive period gives more than the former yield of two. The cup and gutter method did not go into general use at once. Nor is it generally used yet. The majority of operators cling to what they have always known. But the millions of cups scattered among the pine forests from South Carolina to Louisiana are proof that the four or five years since the new method was introduced have made a great change in an important industry. The world depends largely on southern pine forests for naval stores. About half the product is exported. It is worth many millions annually. Turpentine supplies an enormous trade. America can hold this trade, but if it is to do so the valuable southern pine must be cared for. It was this which led to investigations on the part of the forest service in the effort to economize in reaping the turpentine crop. Several turpentine operators were foresighted enough to welcome the work, and co-operation between these private interests and the government foresters led to the introduction of the cup and gutter system. The turpentine cup encountered prejudice, and at first overcame it slowly. The inventor found it necessary, with his associates, to buy pottery to make the cups. Potters would not undertake the work. The article was new, was not in demand, and no one cared to take the risk of manufacturing it. If you are thinking mer, now is your time in and see me. We ourselves. We routes and can give wish.

The turpentine cup encountered prejudice, and at first overcame it slowly. The inventor found it neces-ary, with his associates, to buy pottery to make the cups. Potters would not undertake the work. The article was new, was not in demand, and no one cared to take the risk of manufacturing it. A veteran of the wheel and kiln, at one time half-way consented to make the cups. He said he could turn out 100,000 a year. When told that it was a matter of millions of cups annually, he cut negotiations short, said it was a dream of college men, and that he was there to talk business and not foolishness. That ended it with him. A pottery was bought near Chattanooga, machines were installed which make eighteen cups a minute each, and the cost per cup has been reduced from 4 cents, the price when hand-made, to 16-10 cents. Manufacturing the cups was only part of the battle. Operators in the turpentine forests, at the outset, would not touch the article. Then, when a tract of pine was at length secured, a great deal of trouble was had in persuading the laborers to work with the new device. The cups won the day. Laborers learned to like them, and operators took them up. The source of supply for naval stores, and for all other uses of turpentine and its products, both for this country and for others, is more secure.
