GERMANY A GOOD MARKET California Should Send More Fruit to that Country Washington, Feb. 29.—Sales of American fruit abroad have amounted to about $16,000,000 a year for several years past. Of this total, a large part has been from California, and with proper attention to the demands of the trade and of other questions incident to shipping, keeping and selling, the proportion which California furnishes could be enlarged. It has been told in the hearings of Senator Flint's bill before the senate committee on interoceanic canals how with refrigerator ships such as are operated on the Atlantic by the Panama Steamship Company (owned and operated by the government) the Pacific growers and shippers could easily work up a large business in shipping citrus fruits via Panama to the Atlantic seaboard of the United States and to Europe. By such a line the rates of freight could be reduced and the time could be made to rival that made by the transcontinental railroads. But lacking such a favorable traffic arrangement, there is still an opportunity to better conditions and increase the markets for California products. Suggestions which may prove valuable to the California fruit interests are included in a report of considerable length made by Consul General Robert P. Skinner of Hamburg. This report is published in the Daily Consular and Trade Reports for February 14. Mr. Skinner says: The German demand for imported fruits of every description has already reached an annual average value of $22,000,000, and the business is destined, in all probability, to develop as means of rapid transportation improve and facilities for marketing arrivals. ing is especially important as respects importations of fresh apples and the various classes of dried fruit. However, while the importations of apples have increased steadily from 132,433 tons in 1905 to 180,017 in 1908, the share of the United States in this business has progressed in the opposite direction as follows: In 1905, 14906 tons; 1906, 10,502 tons; 1907, 9229 tons; 1908, 4325 tons. These figures contain facts in sufficient detail to show that the fruit market of Germany is one of immense importance, one which the United States is particularly qualified to supply, and at the same time, one in which American shippers have held their ground only as respects certain qualities such as they alone could furnish and in which they have positively lost a great deal of ground in the last five years. Within the last few weeks I have received communications, written and verbal, from a number of the best known importing houses, who merely repeat themselves in stating the inconveniences resulting from the unsatisfactory organizations of the American fruit trade and the presence in the business of many weak firms with many speculative tendencies. The complaints chiefly dwelt upon these: 1. Failure to deliver fruit contracted for on a rising market; 2. deliveries of old fruit when fruit from a new crop is expected; 3. moistening of dried fruit to gain weight; 4. shipment of incompletely filled boxes; 5. inaccurate marketing of cases. The firms consulted have expressed great satisfaction with my suggestion that they formulate their complaints and make suggestions for the betterment of existing conditions, and I submit herewith extracts from their responses. THE PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS Items In the National Press Office President Taft addresses ark, N. J., board of tracing last week, and spends length upon policies now public attention. In re Pearl Harbor and the Pacific he said: "There is needed at the Chesapeake Bay, better Henry and Charles, and upon the so-called Map which shall command to Chesapeake Bay. Chess is the most important body from a strategic naval service to the whole Atlantic Coast, be defended. "So, too, now we have that the great naval base specific for us is to be placed near Honolulu. For years discussion as to whether to make the naval base or at Cavite, in Manila and Philippines. By unanimous naval and military action now conceded that we do not naval base in the Philippines that we ought to make Ocealand, at the mouth of Malaypregnable, establish a new station in Subig Bay, but Sandwich Islands as our will all involve a heavy at Honolulu, but for them amount provided is no small. "In the naval expenditure retained a provision for ships of the large 25,000 and we have done this ground that until the President is completed, we ought to add to our naval strength." prove valuable to the California fruit interests are included in a report of considerable length made by Consul General Robert P. Skinner of Hamburg. This report is published in the Daily Consular and Trade Reports for February 14. Mr. Skinner says: The German demand for imported fruits of every description has already reached an annual average value of $22,000,000, and the business is destined, in all probability, to develop as means of rapid transportation improve and facilities for marketing arrivals are perfected. While there are a great many reliable houses engaged in this trade, both in Germany and in the United States, there are also many concerns, weak financially or otherwise, who have introduced the actions so as to disturb frequently what should be the normal course of events. This aside, producers and consumers are kept so far apart by innumerable intermediaries as to force down the level of prices realized by producers on the one hand, and to force up the level of prices paid by German consumers on the other hand, checking the growth of the trade as a whole. In view of these facts, the embryonic plan of creating a co-operative society of Pacific coast fruit growers, provided with sufficient capital to ship, store and market American fruit in Hamburg, impresses me very favorably indeed. All over Europe farmers' organizations exist for the handling of farm products commercially, and very likely similar societies are equally successful in the United States. If these societies have not gone into the export business upon the extensive scale which must be adopted to make such an undertaking successful, it is merely because a directing force has not yet presented itself to work out the details of the project. It is not to the discredit of European buyers and commercial houses that they are, in fact, the agents of their customers in Europe rather than of their furnishers in the United States. It is a characteristic of business houses the world over that commission firms, eager to hold customers and influenced by local surroundings are unable to consider their furnishers' interest with the same degree of zeal and impartiality as those of their buyers. Thus, for example, American apples are shipped to Hamburg from the United States and sold at auction for the account of commission firms. The buyers who assemble are acquainted with each other and it would be surprising raththese: 1. Failure to deliver fruit contracted for on a rising market; 2. deliveries of old fruit when fruit from a new crop is expected; 3. moistening of dried fruit to gain weight; 4. shipment of incompletely filled boxes; 5. inaccurate marketing of cases. The firms consulted have expressed great satisfaction with my suggestion that they formulate their complaints and make suggestions for the betterment of existing conditions, and I submit herewith extracts from their responses. (The names of the writers can be obtained from the Bureau of Manufacturers.) From California we import prunes, apricots, pears, peaches, raisins and evaporated apples; and from New York, evaporated apples and chopped apples. The business increases its volume, being governed principally by the demand for dried fruits in the United States. Germany imports plums from Bosnia, Servia and France. The French plums are preferred to those from California, although much more expensive than the American fruit, because of their excellent preparation. These fruits are offered and sold many months before the harvest, and the business is therefore, speculative in character and consequently hurtful to those who operate on another basis. Nevertheless, in a trade so important, speculation is necessary and is controlled by the amount of money on the market; that is to say, when money is cheap importers buy large quantities of dried fruits for future delivery, and when money is dear the contrary is the case. It is complained that, as respects American apricots there is an insufficiently sharp distinction between standard choice, extra choice, and fancy qualities. What one buyer purchases as choice and receives as such, another buyer receives and delivers under the trade term of extra choice. Complaint is made also that cheap outside plums are often marked and offered as Santa Clara plums, and of late not infrequently old-crop plums have been palmed off as fruit of the new crop. A tendency is observed toward short-packing the cases. We hear a good many complaints of evaporated apples which contain too much moisture, a circumstance which, if it adds to the shipper's weight, leads to trouble for the importer on arrival in Germany. One way of overcoming these difficulties would be a proper organization of your trade, so that fruits like grain might be accompanied by official certificates, stating the exact pregnable, establish a station in Subig Bay, but Sandwich Islands as ours will all involve a heavy at Honolulu, but for them amount provided is one small. "In the naval expenditure retained a provision for ships of the large 25,000 and we have done this ground that until the Piscan is completed, we ought to add to our naval strength nama canal certainly wilited in 1915, and if we had ships a year until then opening of the canal while the efficacy of our navy protection of our Pacific coasts that we can abate our expenditures in new vessels." "While I am dealing with nama canal, however, I refer to the discrepancy by estimated cost of the ename actual cost as we aim to fix it with consideration within four or five years pletion. "The estimated cost of engineering and construction was $139,700,000. It for engineering and conserve be $297,000,000, an increase 300,000. This increase is explained first, by the growth in the cost of labor by the time when was made in 1900, and that the work was done between 1909; second, by the fact canal has been enlarged beyond the original diluted for. "You know that the guava excavating in the canal by Culebra cut. This is where bone of the continent, no lowest height, is cut, five miles of that cut, while nine miles long, for purpureomy, the original plan made the bottom of the rock 200 feet wide. This enable two of the largest pass each other with safety." "To avoid this, it has wise to increase the bed from 200 to 300 feet in material that, of course change most expensive." "So, too, that the canal adapted to largest sizes of the dimensions of the ship been increased from 900 usable length, and 110 feet was done at the instance department, which predicts." business houses the world over that commission firms, eager to hold customers and influenced by local surroundings are unable to consider their furnishers' interest with the same degree of zeal and impartiality as those of their buyers. Thus, for example, American apples are shipped to Hamburg from the United States and sold at auction for the account of commission firms. The buyers who assemble are acquainted with each other and it would be surprising rather than the contrary if they should fall to keep the level of their offers as low as possible; and the commission merchants without facilities for cold storage, without any deep interest in holding or disposing of their stocks in accordance with some carefully considered plan, are concerned principally in obtaining good deliveries from the United States and effecting sales as rapidly as possible. A thoroughly equipped co-operative concern would organize its business upon another basis. It would provide itself with cold storage facilities; it would dispose of fruit, without overstocking the market, to the actual retail dealers and hucksters; and, finally, would be in a position to carry on an extensive re-export trade, for which the port of Hamburg is most favorably situated. To facilitate careful consideration of this question I supply herewith data in regard to the business, and the views of certain well-known importers in respect to difficulties, some of which might well be corrected without reference to the ambitious plan above mentioned of selling directly from producer to retail dealer. The importations of dried fruits embraced prunes to the value of $3,308,200, weight 38,000 tons, and apples to the value of $2,046,800, the weight being 13,291 tons. The American trade in the foregonew crop. A tendency is observed toward short-packing the cases. We hear a good many complaints of evaporated apples which contain too much moisture, a circumstance which, if it adds to the shipper's weight, leads to trouble for the importer on arrival in Germany. One way of overcoming these difficulties would be a proper organization of your trade, so that fruits like grain might be accompanied by official certificates, stating the exact quality of contents as officially ascertained, the true place of origin, the actual year of growth, the sound and merchantable condition, and, as to plums, the number per pound. F. J. DYER. Henry J. Martens, formerly of Hillsboro, Kan., was made defendant in the second suit for alleged fraud brought against him in this county within a week. F. C. Spencer, attorney for P. M. Klassen of Anaheim, filed the papers in the case. Last week Henrietta Kruger filed a complaint asking that a deed to her ranch given to Martens be rescinded, and also that a deed made by Martens to Martha A. and J. C. Fast be rescinded. The property was deeded as part payment on land in Kern county that Mrs. Kruger now believes Martens never owned. Judge Crowe of Santa Barbara, sitting in the superior court here granted a non-suit in the quiet-title action of Magdalena Jepsen against her former husband, Christian Jepsen and others. Mrs. Jepsen denied having signed a deed to a twenty-acre ranch in this county. The deed was to A. E. Barr and was dated Oct. 16, 1903, before the Jepsens separated.

THE PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS Items in the National Defense, and the Panama Canal President Taft addressed the Newark, N.J., board of trade one evening last week, and spoke at some length upon policies now engaging the public attention. In referring to Pearl Harbor and the Panama canal he said: "There is needed at the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay, between Cape Henry and Charles, an artificial island upon the so-called Middle Ground, which shall command the entrance into Chesapeake Bay. Chesapeake Bay is the most important body of water from a strategic naval standpoint on the whole Atlantic Coast, and it must be defended. "So, too, now we have determined that the great naval base of the Pacific for us is to be Pearl Harbor, near Honolulu. For years there was discussion as to whether we ought to make the naval base at Subig Bay, or at Cavite, in Manila Bay, in the Philippines. By unanimous consent of naval and military authorities, it is now conceded that we do not need a naval base in the Philippines at all; what we ought to make Corregidor Island, at the mouth of Manila Bay, impregnable, establish a naval supply station in Subig Bay, but rely upon Sandwich Islands as our base. This will all involve a heavy expenditure at Honolulu, but for the present the amount provided is comparatively small. "In the naval expenditures we have retained a provision for two battle-ships of the large 25,000-ton capacity and we have done this on the ground that until the Panama canal is completed, we ought to go on and add to our naval strength.

BUTTER SCORING CONTEST Figures of Recent Competitive Test at Davis Farm The highest score made in the recent butter-scoring contest at the state farm at Davis was by the Bodega creamery, at Bodega, Cal., with a score of .94. The general average of the 23 entries of the scoring contest was 91.46. Of these entries 43 per cent were from creameries which did not compete last year. Many of those who were in the contest last year could not take part in this contest because it took place a month earlier than usual. There is no doubt but that the succeeding entries will be more numerous, for this year's arrangements it will be possible to earn a certificate on five entries. The butter maker should not overlook the fact that the price of certificates are secondary considerations, the main value centering in the scores or criticisms of the hundreds which are sent out. The scores were as follows: Creamery—Location. Score.

In the Superior Court of the State of California, in and for the County of Los Angeles. In the matter of the Estate of Leopold Wigand, deceased. Under the authority of an order granted by the Superior Court of the State of California, in and for the County of Los Angeles, dated Feb. 18th, 1910, I will sell at private sale the following described property: An undivided one-half interest in the following described property: In the City of Anaheim, County of Orange, State of California, and described as beginning at a point 100 feet West of the South-East corner of Block "F" in Vineyard Lot D3 and 15 feet North of the North line of Center street; running thence in a westerly direction parallel with Hedwig street; 120 feet to an alley; thence Easterly along the Southern line of said alley and parallel with Center street 25 feet to a point; thence Southerly on a line parallel with Hedwig street; 220 feet to a point 15 feet North of the Northline of Center street, which point is the point of beginning. Reference being had to map of said Vineyard lot D3 attached In the naval expenditures we have retained a provision for two battleships of the large 25,000-ton capacity and we have done this on the ground that until the Panama canal is completed, we ought to go on and add to our naval strength. The Panama canal certainly will be completed in 1915, and if we have two battleships a year until that time, the opening of the canal will so double the efficacy of our navy for the protection of our Pacific and Atlantic coasts that we can abate and reduce our expenditures in new construction. While I am dealing with the Panama canal, however, I ought to refer to the discrepancy between the estimated cost of the enterprise and the actual cost as we are now able to fix it with considerable accuracy within four or five years of its completion. The estimated cost of the engineering and construction of the canal was $139,700,000. Its actual cost for engineering and construction will be $297,000,000, an increase of $157,000,000. This increase is to be explained first, by the great appreciation in the cost of labor and material by the time when the estimate was made in 1900, and the time when the work was done between 1904 and 1909; second, by the fact that the canal has been enlarged substantially beyond the original dimensions estimated for. You know that the great work of excavating in the canal is called the Culebra cut. This is where the backbone of the continent, reduced to lowest height, is cut, and through five miles of that cut, which is about nine miles long, for purposes of economy, the original plan and estimate made the bottom of the canal in theock 200 feet wide. This would not enable two of the largest steamers to pass each other with safety. To avoid this, it has been thought wise to increase the bottom width from 200 to 300 feet in a place and material that, of course, makes the change most expensive. So, too, that the canal may be adapted to largest sizes of steamers, the dimensions of the six locks have been increased from 900 to 1000 feet usable length, and 110 feet wide. This was done at the instance of the navy department, which predicts vessels THE DRINKING CUP State Board of Health on Dangers of Public Fountains In investigating municipal drinking fountains the State board of health finds that people lay aside class and color prejudice and throw caution to the winds when it comes to drinking water out of cups chained to public places.

"So, too, that the canal may be adapted to largest sizes of steamers, the dimensions of the six locks have been increased from 900 to 1000 feet usable length, and 110 feet wide. This was done at the instance of the navy department, which predicts vessels of a beam exceeding 100 feet. "It has also been found necessary to change the character of the canal on the Pacific side, from a lake with a dam and locks on the shore of the Bay of Panama, to a sea-level canal running four miles inland, so as to remove the locks four miles forward and beyond the possible reach of the guns of an enemy in Panama Bay. These two changes, also, have added considerably to the cost. "Again, it has been found wise to enlarge the canal into a lake or basin at the foot of the Gatun locks and in whatever variation in the plans which experience in the construction has demonstrated the necessity for, the more than doubling the cost of construction and engineering has been necessary. In addition to this, the cost of sanitation and government, without which the canal could not have been built, will be about $73,-100,000, and will carry the entire cost of the canal to $373,000,000."

THE DRINKING CUP State Board of Health on Dangers of Public Fountains In investigating municipal drinking fountains the State board of health finds that people lay aside class and color prejudice and throw caution to the winds when it comes to drinking water out of cups chained to public places. Photographs taken by a state inspector, show well-groomed men; an emaciated hobo, a negro, daintily attired misses, ragmuffins, and pampered pets all drinking from one cup. The time-interval between drinks was from one to five minutes. It is estimated that one public-drinking cup may do damage that will keep a dozen White Crusaders on the move for months. The tuberculosis bacillus has been known to live a half year where there was shade and moisture. There are probably 40,000 consumptives in California. Many of them carry their own drinking cups, many do not. Thirsty patrons of the public cup, when it comes their turn to drink, may be reasonably sure that a tuberculosis patient has lipped the rim not many minutes or hours before. Those who shun the water-wagon may also be exposed to disease danger through their quaffings. The cup that inebriates, also the soda-font glass that tickles and chills, may have disease carrying possibilities unless scalded or steamed between usings. "Red plague," smallpox, diptheria, measles, scarlet fever and other infectious diseases may also be spread by successive mouthings of public cups.
