THE CITRUS MARKET The Fruit World in its review of the citrus situation, asys: The market on strictly fancy Valencias has ruled higher the past week, but all other grades sold lower. The falling off in prices on lower grades is to be expected, however, with abundant supplies of early California navels arriving or due to arrive, together with increased supplies of early oranges from Porto Rico, Jamaica and Florida. Valencia shipments from California have closed. There are still some cars out to be cleaned up in different markets, but the supply is light and there should be no difficulty in cleaning up the remaining Valencias to good advantage. The navel shipping season from Central California will be in full swing the coming week when it is estimated that at least 200 carloads of navels will go forward daily during the entire week. Shipments the past week have only averaged about fifty-seven carloads daily. What few cars of early navels have sold in Eastern markets so far have given excellent satisfaction, the quality and color being all that could be desired. A car from Exeter averaged $3.50 on the New York market. The general situation is in good shape, inquiries for supplies are being received from all markets and the Christmas trade promises to be brisk. Central-California navels are selling on a basis of $2.50 f. o. b. Northern California navels have gone forward at the rate of 11 carloads daily during the past week. The fruit is reported as being of very satisfactory color. None have sold to date in the auction markets. Orange county shippers are getting out navels, a total of 69 carloads having been shipped during the past week. Some district have fruit that is fairly The resignation of A. Philbrick as justice of the peace of Los Alamitos judicial township was accepted. The board appointed Hugh T. O'Connor, justice of the peace of Los Alamitos township, for the unexpired term.

Central California navels are selling on a basis of $2.50 f. o. b. Northern California navels have gone forward at the rate of 11 carloads daily during the past week. The fruit is reported as being of very satisfactory color. None have sold to date in the auction markets. Orange county shippers are getting out navels, a total of 69 carloads having been shipped during the past week. Some district have fruit that is fairly well colored, the Whittler district being one of those where the best color may be found. As a general rule, however, shippers are not anxious to begin moving their fruit to any extent at this time owing to the expected rush of fruit to Eastern markets from Central California districts. NEW MOTOR LAWS Motorists at this time are vitally interested in the new provisions of the state motor vehicle act which goes into effect on Dec. 31, at midnight. With only a few days intervening between the present time and the time of the new act becoming effective, motorists are scanning carefully the digests of the law published recently in book form by the legal department of the Automobile club of Southern California. One of the most important of the new provisions is the requirement of dimmers or deflected headlights. The problem of arranging the lights so as to comply with the law will confront every automobile owner in the state of California, and the auto club has issued, through its legal department, definite and specific instructions along this line. It is pointed out by the club's attorneys that the new law gives the automobile owner the option of equipping his lights with dimmers so as to permanently prevent any glare therefrom which might interfere with the convenience or safety of the use of the highway, or to so arrange the lights that the center rays shall strike the ground at a distance not to exceed 75 feet in front of the car. In short, the section reads in the alternative. It is not absolutely necessary to use a dimming device if the light rays are directed to the ground within 75 feet of the front of the car. As a rule, the auto owner will probably find it more satisfactory to use dimmers than to adopt the other method, although the determination of that question depends largely on the size and volume of the lights used. Careful illustration of some of the important provisions of the new law have been made by Clarence A. English, local distributor of King Eights, in the latest King car. Motorists are no longer allowed to let the license plates become coated with mud or grease so that the correct numbers cannot be distinguished. GRAND LODGE, A. O. U. W. BECOMES BANKRUPT Liabilities Placed at $327,000 And Assets at $15,000 The California Grand Lodge of the Ancient Order of United Workmen, has filed a petition in bankruptcy in the U.S. District Court. The liabilities, consisting chiefly of insurance claims, were given as $327,827.43 and the assets, $15,486.68, of which $252.18 was listed as cash. An investigation of the affairs of the lodge by the state insurance commissioner revealed a condition practically as set forth in the petition, which is said to be the grand lodge's answer to the Insurance Commissioner's ultimatum that "something must be done" by the first of the year. The California Grand Lodge A. O. U. MANY TOURISTS EXPECTED Salt Lake officials who have just returned from an extensive visit to many eastern points, for the purpose of making inquiries and gathering data on the outlook for railroad business in the coming winter months and next year, state that tourist traffic to South, ern California will far exceed that of last year. These railroaders, F. A. Wann and T. C. Peck, general traffic manager and general passenger agent, respectively, say they are positive that the influx of tourists during the next six months will mean much to all of the Southland. "I talked with more than 200 passenger agents all over the east and middle west," said General Agent Peck, and all were unanimous that travel to California is going to be extremely heavy. The east and middle west are fairly alive with prosperity and where single members of families came in 1915 to see the fair, in 1916, the whole family will come. Family heads have come to California to visit the fairs, and have been so pleased that they want the whole family to come and enjoy the winter months here." Traffic Manager Wann said: "Every factory is running 100 per cent capacity, and this shows unwonted prosperity, the wealthier class must seek either Florida or California for recreation. Tvery winter California is becoming more and more the favorite of the two. "We expect to do an enormous freight as well as the temporary has enormously less. We can enough to handle freight we are." IMPORTANT NOTICE TO ALL GAS CONSUMERS On December 1st, 1915, the new Rules of the Railroad Commission of California governing the practices of gas companies throughout the State, go into effect. This Company intends to make every effort to comply with the Commission's Rules fully and without discrimination. We, therefore, publish below the important points which we shall observe. We particularly desire to impress our consumers with the idea that any inconvenience or annoyance which may result to them is due entirely to our desire to follow the Commission's Rules fully and without discrimination.

DATES RIPENED BY ELECTRICITY The dream of scientists and romancers, already realized in some market gardens around Paris, is being worked out practically in the Coachella valley in Riverside county, where dates are being ripened by electricity. Results thus far are reported beyond the most sanguine expectations, and the flavor of the fruit is equal, if not superior, to the world-celebrated product of Arabia. The natural development of the fruit is simply accelerated. The experiment has been made successfully by Prof. Bruce Drummond, chief of the experiment station at the government's date garden at Indio. Much of the fruit is necessarily picked before it reaches full maturity. It is then placed in boxes and given a 60-hour process in the electric heater. Two and a half days do the work that nature would take weeks to accomplish. The fruit is then carefully graded and packed in one-pound boxes ready for consumers, who demand all the present product of the valley at $1 a pound. Two tons of the immature dates can be processed at one time at a cost, Prof. Drummond has found, of less than ten cents per day. OLD PORCELAIN FACTORY IS REOPENED IN CHINA The famous King Teh Cheng porcelain factory, which from the year 1396 furnished all the fine porcelain for the royal palaces of China, is to be reopened immediately, and a grant of $20,000 has already been made by the president of the republic for this purpose. This factory was partially destroyed during the revolution in which the republic was established and the various samples and patterns kept there were divided among the leading revolutionists. While the making of porcelain has been one of the leading Chinese industries for generations, this factory is said to be the only place in which the ancient ways of making porcelain, with the beautiful colors and designs, has been preserved. The factory will not only be employed in producing porcelain for the market, but will have a special department in which porcelain of the highest quality will be made for presentation to the rulers of other countries. The little republic of Bolivia in South America is the first foreign foreign country to make use of the movies in advertising its industries among the business men of the United States. Four reels of film have been prepared, based on subjects that are intended to give some idea of the wealth, resources and business activities and customs of that nation, and these already have been shown to many business organizations through the courtesy of the Bolivian minister at Washington. We talk a great deal about the wisdom of extending our trade to South America, but while we are talking the South Americans are getting busy with a little extension work of their own. Sixteen states and the Dominion of Canada had fancy poultry on exhibition at San Francisco, but the seven counties south of Tehachapi captured 75 per cent of the prizes. Williams Brothers of this city, the single comb Brown Leghorn breeders got nearly all the prizes in that class. They received 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th for cock, 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 7th for cockerel, 2nd, 3rd and 8th for pulllets, 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 5th for hens, and 1st and 2nd on pens. J. V.

And nothing will make it available and attack the undecomposed material but Acid.
