Gentlemen—In one of the local papers I notice an article in regard to an agreement about to be entered into with the Santa Fe railway company in regard to an arch to be constructed at the intake of our Cajon canal, with an average width of eight or nine-feet and depth of nine feet. The depth at said point does not make so much difference under prevailing conditions, so long as it is to be from 5 to 9 feet. But a width of eight feet would, in my opinion, be ruinous, as in winter it would catch trees, debris and other refuse carried by winter rains, and imbed them in the sand on the interior of the tunnel from which place we would entail much delay in removing them. This would happen if you should even have a shutoff gate at either end of the tunnel, as the gates could not be closed all winter, and timbers and trees travel down the river for weeks after a big storm. At the present time I think our intake is 16 feet in width, which is ample, but not by any means too wide. To confine the intake to one-half this space, under present conditions, would in the dry months necessitate our constructing a diagonal levee above the headgate for a distance of some three or four hundred feet in length, and from one to another. Foreign Trade in France The following tables presuppose showing the exports owing from the United States and imports of fruits from other countries for the fiscal years June 30, 1906 and 1907, for consideration. The varieties given are in which California is most esteemed: EXPORTS. 1906 Apples, ripe, bbls... 1,208,989 Apricots, dried, lbs... 13,760,281 Oranges, value... $1,110,993 Peaches, dried, lb... 1,181,648 Pears, ripe, value... $631,972 Prunes, lb... 24,869,744 Raisins, lb... 4,528,502 Canned, value... $2,848,064 IMPORTS. 1906 Currants, lb... 37,578,311 Figs, lb... 17,562,358 Lemons, lb... 138,717,252 Olives, gal... ...

Prune exported much more heavily than the 1906 crop than the predecessor one, the 1905 crop of this variety. California having been very last season raisins were sent in larger quantities than before the imports in this line, as we noted, fell off materially owing to heavy shortages in foreign growing countries. Exports ofanges show a steady growth. Forest Service Special Use Permit: C. I. Graham of Newhall, Calbeen granted a permit to encroach upon forests. gates could not be closed all winter, and timbers and trees travel down the river for weeks after a big storm. At the present time I think our intake is 16 feet in width, which is ample, but not by any means too wide. To confine the intake to one-half this space, under present conditions, would in the dry months necessitate our constructing a diagonal levee above the headgate for a distance of some three or four hunddred feet in length, and from one to two feet higher than it is at the present time. And as the fall below the gate is so slight, it would raise the water to a higher level above the gate than at the present time, and would cause a considerable loss from percolation. Respectfully submitted, A. L. PORTER, Supt. Cotton Mather's Plot The controversy over the question as to whether Cotton Mather of Boston entered into a plot to capture William Penn and the first colony of Quakers and sell them as slaves in the Barbadoes has been settled, it is said, by the finding of Scott's Emulsion strengthens enfeebled nursing mothers by increasing their flesh and nerve force. It provides baby with the necessary fat and mineral food for healthy growth. ALL DRUGGISTS: 50c. AND $1.00. CROP CONDITIONS GOOD R. G. Dun & Co's. Monthly Review of Trade Conditions for August in Southern California. Crop conditions throughout Southern California remain exceptionally good. The grain harvest has progressed this season better than for a number of years. Quality is unusually good, warehouses are filling rapidly; beans are looking all right in all sections; the output will equal if not exceed that of last year. Sugar making is in full swing. Oxnard is slicing its full capacity of 2000 tons daily. Beets are small this year, but very rich in sugar content. The celery crop will undoubtedly be the largest ever harvested in Southern California, and will mature fully a month earlier than in previous years. The announcement of the agreement among the railroads to increase the freight rates $20 a car on vegetables shipped from Southern California to the eastern markets after October 1st, is rousing vehement protests from growers and shippers. The grape harvest is on in earnest, the drying trays filling rapidly, and by the last of the month the wineries will be crushing at full capacity. The output will exceed that of last year by 50 per cent. Although no Huxet feels hopeful and down ye news when his lies back. Ye bowles of Christ, "Cotton Mather."

Prunes were much more heavily out of pop than the preceding crop of this variety in having been very small.raisins were sent abroad quantities than before and in this line, as will be off materially owing toortages in foreign raisin countries. Exports of or-a steady growth. Rest Service Permit: Form of Newhall, Cal., has a permit to enclose 3 vegetables shipped from Southern California to the eastern markets after October 1st, is rousing vehement protests from growers and shippers. The grape harvest is on in earnest,the drying trays filling rapidly,and by the last of the month the wineries will be crushing at full capacity.The output will exceed that of last year by 50 per cent.Although no combination has been made the makers of sweet wine in this section are offering less per ton for/grapes than last year,$12 to $14 is generally quoted. September 15th will find the walnut gatherers active; the trees are heavily laden,and indications are for a bumper crop. The association will not set price before October 1st.The foreign crop is reported only ½ of the normal output,and it is predicted the market demand will warrant an opening price of 15c for No.1 soft shells;other grades in proportion.The fig crop is larger than that of last year by about 8500 tons.Eastern demand for Valencia oranges has continued good,very little fruit going to auction;fair prices prevail.The lemon market remains strong in middle west markets,and is holding its own in the east in competition with Sicily importa-tions. The cured fruit market is quiet,but there is apparent a general resumption of business in such lines as were affected by federal government ruling in regard to amount of sulphur to be used in drying.Growers and packers are still agitated over the matter;but the fact that eastern jobbers are ready to buy as heretofore has cleared the situation and led dried fruit concerns to abandon repudiation of contract talk.The few apricots still in this district are still in the hands of the growers,who are inclined to await higher prices.The quotations on peaches are a little lower.The output is proving larger than antici- in this line, as will be materially owing to shortages in foreign raisin countries. Exports of orchards steady growth.

The demand for canned fruit and vegetables is proving phenomenal. Packers report as well sold up on the 1907 pack. Stocks are badly broken and no offers are made at less than list prices. Locally, wholesale distribution is active, country collections satisfactory, city collections rather slow. Building permits for August totaled 730 and showed only 9 per cent decline in value from August of last year. The realty market is improving. Dealers, while not looking forward to an activity equal to that of last winter, see every indication of a healthy market in both business and resident properties, with investment, not speculative interest, as a feature. Money is easier under a brisk demand. Failures 15, liabilities $36,000, assets $16,000. Same month last year, 24 failures, liabilities $57,000, and assets $40,000.
