FRUIT AND NUT CROP WORTH MILLIONS HEAVY INCREASE IN VALUE OF STATE'S HORTICULTURAL PRODUCT SECRETARY STATE PUBLISHES SOME INTERESTING STATISTICS Statistics on horticultural products in California have been compiled by Secretary of State. They show that there were produced in 1909 fruits and nuts to the value of over $50,700,000. The production of orchard fruits was 31,501,597 bushels valued at $18,-358,897. The 9,317,979 bushels of plums and prunes were valued at $5,473,539; peaches and nectarines, 9,267,118 bushels, valued at $4,573,775; apples, 6,335,075 bushels, $2,901,662; apricots, 4,066,823 bushels, $2,768,-921; pears, 1,928,097 bushels, $1,660,963; cherries, 501,113 bushels, $951,624. The production of all tropical fruits was $16,752,101, an increase of $9,-533,019 over the census reports of 1899. In 1909 the orange crop alone was 14,436,180 boxes, valued at $12,951,505. Lemon Crop The lemon crop was of next importance, the production amounting to 2,756,221 boxes of the value of $2,976,-571.

In 1909 the orange crop alone was 14,436,180 boxes, valued at $12,951,505. Lemon Crop The lemon crop was of next importance, the production amounting to 2,756,221 boxes of the value of $2,976,571. Olives to the amount of 22,990,335 pounds, valued at $401,277; figs, 22,990,350 pounds, of the value of $260,153; pomeloes or grapefruit aggregating 122,515 boxes, of the value of $143,180, and all other fruits amounting to 140,374 pounds, worth $16,415, made up the immense production credited to tropical fruits. Santa Cruz county leads in the number of apple trees. Santa Clara county leads the list of counties growing apricots. Santa Clara county also leads in the growing of plums and prunes. In Fresno county orchards are found the greatest number of peach and nectarine trees, 2,227,315 being the grand total of both. In Fresno county are the greatest vineyards, made of 40,687,207 vines, which produced in 1909, 611,253,961 pounds of grapes. Los Angeles county, with 4,923,877 bearing vines and product of 44,846,307 pounds, evidences the importance of this industry in different sections of the state. The Orange Crop In the raising of oranges San Bernardino county holds the banner, there being 1,191,254 trees bearing, which produced 5,425,759 boxes of this luscious fruit in 1909. Los Angeles is not far behind with 1,674,895 trees, and a product for the same year of 4,124,161 boxes. Riverside county had in its groves 1,021,957 trees, which produced 2,006,902 boxes. Orange county is shown to have 478,272 trees, and turning northward Tulare looms up in this great industry with $01,151 trees, and a product of 758,465 boxes. Los Angeles County Los Angeles county passes San Bernardino county with its 157,781 lemon trees, having 219,149 trees which produced 704,301 boxes in 1909. San Diego county comes second with 195,318 trees. Riverside county has 115,020 trees. San Diego county is the great olive-growing section, there being 109,871 trees, which produced 2,559,792 pounds in 1909. Los CALIFORNIA STATE FAIR Many Counties Will Meet in Annual Competition for Prizes (Correspondence of the Gazette) Sacramento, July 16.—The California State Fair, which opens on September 14, this year, and continues for a week, promises at this date to be one of the most successful ever attempted. The good crop year throughout the state indicates an extensive agricultural display. About 85 counties already have their space provided for in the big pavilion and it is unlikely that any more will have a chance because room is limited. In addition to better displays than ever before, the fair people are providing a program of amusements which will contain many thrillers. One is a head-on collision between two locomotives. This feature, however, has not been definitely secured as yet. The Knights of Pythias who have Wednesday, September 18 turned over to them are working up a novel entertainment such as seldom seen anywhere. They will post large prizes for teams of four men each from as many lodges as care to enter. These men and their mounts will be clad in coats of mail like knights of old, and engage in a tilting contest. This consists of riding down the race track spearing rings from overhead wires. The team that lands the most rings in the quickest time wins. Broadword contests as well as spectacular tableaus are also being planned by the knights, who will run excursions here from all parts of the state. Lode country of California there are no "mining dips" sense that the term is other states. The output of the mined States is reported by a study of the district number of years the most important metals each district can be fairly mined. In some districts those in Colorado, the general products are nearly most of the districts they metal has a greater value the rest.

San Diego county is the great olive-growing section, there being 109,871 trees, which produced 2,559,792 pounds in 1909. Los Angeles county follows closely with 84,934 trees and a yield of 1,549,419 pounds, while the near-by counties of Orange and Riverside have respectively 67,046 and 80,572 trees in full bearing. The olive crop of Riverside county in 1909 was 1,281,970 pounds, and Orange county gathered 828,204 pounds. In the growing of English walnuts Los Angeles county leads with 281,-837 trees, which gave the growers in 1909, 6,138,033 pounds. Orange county, next south, runs a close second with 276,842 trees, and a greater crop of 7,478,955 pounds. Santa Barbara county and Ventura county are very close. The latter having 98,622 trees, which produced 3,665,935 pounds, and the former 96,-776 trees and a product of 2,678,039 pounds. CAMP WILKE MEETING All boys who are planning to attend the Y. M. C. A. Camp Wilke at Catalina Island this summer, other boys who are interested, and their parents are invited to attend a meeting at the Presbyterian church Friday evening, July 19, at 7:45. R. J. Hamilton, county Y. M. C. A. secretary, L. O. Culp, president of the local Y. M. C. A. and leaders who will attend camp, will be present. This is an important meeting and all interested are urged to be present. Probably a better class of horses will take part in the harness races this year. Entries are in from all over the Pacific Coast, as well as many from the grand circuit, such as A. C. Mackenzie's Star Brino, Peter Preston, Manitoba and many others. A number of horses are coming from Canada. Special attention will be paid to saddle horses this year prizes amounting to $500 more than the regular premiums have been provided for. Fancy riding and hurdling with an egg on a spoon and many other unique riding tricks will be on the program. Visitors to the fair grounds this year will notice a number of improvements. The manufactures' building just received a coat of white plaster on the outside, making it as pretty as the other buildings. The grounds are being parked and put into lawns. Probably the most important change so far as the public is concerned is the new stand that will be built along the lines of a baseball grounds bleachers with a canvas awning overhead. Large tents will be erected to house the automobile displays which will represent every make of machine seen on the Pacific Coast. When seeking the best table wines, sweet wines, and champagne, seek no further than the Anaheim Winery, opposite West Anaheim Southern Pacific depot. WESTERN MINING DEFINED BY DISTRICTS BULLETIN SHOWING LOCATION JUST ISSUED BY GEOLOGICAL SURVEY THE MOTHER LODE OF CALIFORNIA ONE OF THE GREAT PRODUCERS The United States west of the 103d meridian, comprising the Rocky Mountain, Plateau, Desert, and Sierra Nevada regions, is one of the most important producers of percious and allied metals in the world. In this area are many mining regions or camps which are known as "mining districts." In most of the states the boundaries of these districts are well recognized and some of them are legally recorded, and nearly all can be plotted on state maps with a fair degree of accuracy. In the Mother Lode country of California, however, there are no "mining districts" in the sense that the term is used in the other states. The output of the mines in the United States is reported yearly to the division of mineral resources of the United States Geological Survey, and by a study of the district reports for a number of years the values of the most important metals produced in each district can be fairly well determined. In some districts, notably FROG IN WOMAN'S STOMACH Swallowed in Water, Lives Year Inside Negress Washington, July 14.—A live frog crawled, clawed and croaked for nearly a year, a dweller in the stomach of Mrs. L. V. King, negress, of Browning place, Deanwood, a suburb of Washington. After clawing away at the lining of the woman's stomach until it was raw with pain, almost strangling her as it climbed into her throat and fairly reducing her to a living skeleton, it was extricated by physicians of the Emergency hospital by means of a large pump. The frog is preserved in alcohol. It is a weak, colorless, wrinkled, shapeless specimen, which bears a faint resemblance to the normal frog. Its legs are long and scrawny and thin as toothpicks. It measures about seven inches. Just as it was breaking out of the egg the tadpole was swallowed by Mrs. King in well water last August. Weeks passed before the woman realized there was some foreign living animal in her stomach. She consulted doctors, but they laughed at her. Last spring the frog, then at its full growth, began to climb into her throat, and nearly suffocated her. It clawed away at the membrane until she several times fainted with pain. Still the doctors when she told them of her fears laughed. Two months ago, Mrs. King declares, the frog began to croak. She distinctly heard it many times, and her relatives bear her out. That determined her to leave the physicians of Deanwood, D. C., severely alone and consult "city doctors." She did so. She went to Emergency hospital last week and Saturday morning the MAXIMS OF NAPOLEON Bonaparte Believed Courage Was the Result of Thought An interesting collection of thoughts and maxims contained in the literary works of Napoleon I. has been made by J. Bertaut. Some of the emperor's axioms on war were as follows: There are two kinds of plans of campaigns—good and bad. The good are nearly always wrecked by unforeseen circumstances, which often cause the bad to succeed. Inevitable wars are always just. Imaginations loses battles. Warfare is a natural state. In war there is only one favorable moment; genius knows how to seize it. There are cases in which squandering men economize blood. An army is a people that obeys. Courage is like love; it feeds on hope. Fearless people are not found among those who have something to lose. Dare-devilry is an innate quality; it is in the blood and often merely impatience of danger. Courage is the result of thought. I have an income of one hundred thousand men. Napoleon's interests were not entirely absorbed by war. He has left some maxims relating to the drama and literature: Verse is merely the embroidery on the dramatic cloth. A good tragedy gains in value every day. High tragedy is the school of great men, and it is the duty of sovereigns to encourage it. To judge tragedy it is not necessary to be a poet; it is sufficient to know men and things. Lode country of California, however, there are no "mining districts" in the sense that the term is used in the other states. The output of the mines in the United States is reported yearly to the division of mineral resources of the United States Geological Survey, and by a study of the district reports for a number of years the values of the most important metals produced in each district can be fairly well determined. In some districts, notably those in Colorado, the values of several products are nearly equal, but in most of the districts the output of one metal has a greater value than that of the rest. The United States Geological Survey has published reports on the economic geology of a large number of the mining districts of the country. In 1908 the survey published in its annual volume "Mineral Resources of the United States" a map of the Western States showing the location of the mining districts. Bulletin 507, "Mining districts of the western United States," which contains a revised edition of the original map, together with much new material, is an index of the gold, silver, copper, lead, zinc, quicksilver, iron, and rare-metal mining districts of the Western States. A geologic introduction to this report, by Chief Geologist Waldemar Lindgren, not only gives a general summary of the geology of the states, but also describes in some detail the economic geology of the more important camps as well as some of the less widely known mining regions. This part of the report includes a small map of the western United States showing the general distribution of the mining districts. The report contains two plates showing the areas covered by the topographic and geologic work of the United States Geological Survey—plates adapted from the Thirty-second Annual Report of the Director—and a separate map of each state except California (which is represented on two maps), showing the location of the mining districts and by appropriate symbols the principal metals produced in each. The report contains 14 of these state maps, which show the location and area of over 1,400 mining districts. The map including the largest number of districts is that of the northern counties of California, which contain 222 districts; the smallest is the map containing that of trans-Pecos Texas, which shows only 11 districts. With every mining district symbol on each of these maps is a number which refers to its name in an accommodation throat, and nearly suffocated her. It clawed away at the membrane until she several times fainted with pain. Still the doctors when she told them of her fears laughed. Two months ago, Mrs. King declares, the frog began to croak. She distinctly heard it many times, and her relatives bear her out. That determined her to leave the physicians of Deanwood, D. C., severely alone and consult "city doctors." She did so. She went to Emergency hospital last week, and Saturday morning the frog was pumped out of its hiding place. The frog lived ten minutes in a tub of water. It croaked and sang just like any "regular frog." Then it died. According to physicians this is the first time on record any animal of the proportions of a frog has ever lived in a human stomach, at least for the period of 11 months. BLOWING IN THE MONEY California Counties Building at the Fair is the Latest The following is a copy of the resolutions adopted at the meeting of the counties commissions to the Panama-Pacific International Exposition, and boards of supervisors, which was held in San Francisco recently: "Whereas, we, the counties commission and boards of supervisors representing the various counties of the great State of California in meeting assembled, recognize the necessity of co-operation in presenting at the Panama-Pacific Exposition at San Francisco in 1915, an exhibit that will be an honor to our great state, and "Whereas, in view of the fact that California is to act as host of the civilized world and recognizing the truth of that old adage 'in Union there is strength,' we deem it necessary that united action should be our watchword and so believing we think it is important that definite action along this line should at this time be taken, therefore "Be it resolved: That it be the sense of this meeting that there should be one building or place known as the California counties building, and in which shall be grouped the exhibits of all the counties of the state in addition to the county exhibits in the exposition palaces, and in view of the statements made to us today by the directors of the Panama-Pacific Exposition through their president, Hon. Charles C. Moore, that all funds now at their disposal will be needed to carry out their plans for said exposition."

Early symptoms of kidney ill. Urinary troubles, dropsy, Bright's disease follow. The statement below shows you what to do. P. G. Etchison, 820 E. St., Santa Ana, Cal., says: "I always keep Doan's Kidney Pills on hand, in fact, I would not be without a supply. Since using Doan's Kidney Pills in 1907, I have had little need of a kidney remedy. A dose or two on a few occasions when I have noticed a pain in my back has sufficed to completely dispel the trouble. My opinion of Doan's Kidney Pills that was expressed in a public testimonial I gave two and a half years ago remains unchanged. I was subject to attacks of kidney complaint for months and if I brought any strain on my back, I was sure to suffer from backache. Knowing that this remedy was due to disordered kidneys, I finally procured Doan's Kidney Pills. They went directly to the seat of the complaint and I could not have asked for greater benefit."

The map including the largest number of districts is that of the northern counties of California, which contain 222 districts; the smallest is the map containing that of trans-Pecos Texas, which shows only 11 districts. With every mining district symbol on each of these maps is a number which refers to its name in an accompanying list. A bibliography of the publications of the U.S. Geological Survey on each district is included in the text, as well as a condensed statement of the geology and nature of the ore deposits, a list of the metals produced, and the shipping point of the camp. The bulletin contains the latest available information, but the Director of the Geological Survey desires that any mistakes or omissions be brought to his attention by men in the field who are in a position to aid in this work.

NEEDLEWORK NOTE Elderberries and their leaves make attractive designs for fancy work of different sorts. The berries themselves look natural because the wooden beads which are used to represent them are exact in size and colorings. Tan colored linen shows off this especial pattern to the best advantage. Instead of these comic opera troubles, why should not Cuba, in time, play a star part in the American flag?—Philadelphia North American. "Be it resolved: That it be the sense of this meeting that there should be one building or place known as the California counties building, and in which shall be grouped the exhibits of all the counties of the state in addition to the county exhibits in the exposition palaces, and in view of the statements made to us today by the directors of the Panama-Pacific Exposition through their president, Hon. Charles C. Moore, that all funds now at their disposal will be needed to carry out their plans for said exposition, and that to use any of their funds for the erection of such a building would work a hardship upon them and render it impossible for them to carry out the plans they have outlined, and believing it would be unfair to take from the funds levied by the different counties for exposition purposes, sufficient money to erect such a building, therefore we favor an appropriation by the State of California out of the funds in the state treasury, for such an amount as will be necessary for the erection of such a building, and that we recommend to the executive and legislative heads of this state that such an appropriation be provided for. "Resolved, that the chairman appoint an executive committee of one representative from each county to take charge of the promotion of the securing of the sum required to build the California counties building, and to do such other things as may be necessary to effect the desired object, with power to call meetings of the commissioners and supervisors from the respective counties, if necessary."

One evening as he was complaining that he had to go out through the dark hall to go to bed, his older brother, Ralph, said: "Aw, whatcher afraid of?"
