Market Is Fair, Demand Moderate Orange Growers Should Leave Small Sizes on Tree, Says Dana King The movement of California oranges during May and the first half of June was not up to expectations, and the market on Valencia oranges did not respond to lighter shipments, as had been anticipated, according to Dana C. King, orange sales manager of the California Fruit Growers Exchange. Light Demand for Small Sizes Shipments of extremely small sizes, which make up a large portion of the California Valencia crop, have been considerably curtailed due to the light demand for this fruit in the markets. Mr. King urged growers to leave fruit packing 234 to the box and smaller, on the tree, giving an opportunity for added growth and for a stronger market situation in the latter part of the season. The average sizes of California Valencia oranges up to June 1 were 249.6. During the week ending June 6 sizes averaged 240, as compared with 245.6 the preceding week, 250.7 two weeks before, 211 for the same week last year and 250.1 in 1929. Sizes on Central California Valencias shipped to June 6 averaged 223.5. Present indications are that the Central California Valencia movement will be completed by June 30. Improvement in Sizes "Improvement in Valencia sizes during the past two weeks has been brought about by growers picking for sale in many localities," stated Mr. King. "With much of the extremely small fruit left on the trees, the Valencia crop will be materially reduced unless there is a considerable improvement in demand for these small sizes later in the summer." Based on estimated shipments for the remainder of June approximately York wore silk hats to the office. For a time the "toppers" vanished from the street. Now they are coming back. Men who follow the fashions, wear them in the afternoon and it is not improbable that they may come back for business men. One class never stopped wearing the "stovepipes." They are the cab drivers who can be found near Central Park waiting for fares. They still drive ancient "Victorias," hansoms, flies and other horse-drawn vehicles. SOME OLD CABS Taxis in this town bear famous names, like Packard, Cadillac, Pierce-Arrow and others denoting expensive makes, although alongside appears the legend "15 and 5," meaning it costs fifteen cents for the first quarter of a mile and five cents thereafter, no matter how many ride. They are well patronized, although $40 is a fair take for the driver in the course of a week. Right in competition with them are some fifty or more horse vehicles of the same type as those in General Grant's day. They look like a page out of Dickens' but many people prefer them to the automobiles. They charge about $4 an hour, which averages about fifty cents a mile if one drives through the city. Probably half of the outsiders who ride in them are honeymooners. We agree with their choice. Automobiles are better for funerals. The "clop," clop" of the horse's feet and the slow progress of the carriage all tend to intensify a feeling of revery. Riding in them can be described as one of life's happiest moments.

"With much of the extremely small fruit left on the trees, the Valencia crop will be materially reduced unless there is a considerable improvement in demand for these small sizes later in the summer. "Based on estimated shipments for the remainder of June, approximately one-third of the Valencia crop will have been shipped by July 1," continued Mr. King. "This percentage is identical with the actual movement of the crop to the same date in 1929." Same Conditions in 1929 During 1929, a similar size situation existed and it was necessary to reduce shipments of extremely small oranges throughout the months of July, August and up until the middle of September. This small size fruit which remained on the tree was shipped from the middle of September to November 15 and brought higher returns than the general average of the entire 1929 Valencia season. "By careful, controlled distribution of the California Valencia crop and the elimination of unsuitable marketing sizes, it is expected that a moderate price level will be maintained throughout the season," said Mr. King. On the Sidewalks of New York BY OBSERVER (Correspondence to The Gazette) SPATTERDASHES Do you remember the first pair of spats you ever saw? Or perhaps you live in a town where they shoot men like that first, before they find out what is the matter. This is to notify one and all that the shooting season on spats is forever closed. Street cleaners here wear them: Yessir. Not one, but a lot of them. WHITE WING DUDES Confidently, we wear them all winter, and so, when we saw the street cleaners sporting them it aroused more than a little curiosity. "How does it come about that you are wearing spats?" we nervously asked one gutter Chesterfield. He just grinned, and then told me they were the most comfortable articles of wearing apparel he had ever worn. "They keep the dirt out of the tops of my shoes," said he, and I saw the point. "They don't cost me anything, either," he continued. "You'd be surprised at the number of miles I find in each city."

Mr. Duffy also announced that a special round trip excursion fare will be put in effect from all points on the Santa Fe in California to Lemy and Santa Fe, New Mexico, certain days during the summer months. Tickets will be on sale July 3 and July 25, August 8 and August 22 with return limit ten days from dates of sale. These low round trip fares will permit visits to the Grand Canyon, Petrified Forest and Indian detour. Gadding Scriveners Go to Big Bear City (Continued from Page 1) the cold spring water, and either joins the club or resolves to do so. The Woodland clubhouse faces the basin of Big Bear lake. A mile across the view is the cloud-high Gold range of mountains. To the back of the clubhouse and for miles and miles up and down the mountains stretch a dense forest of countless giant pine trees. It is said to be one of the most glorious pine forests of California—and to see it is to believe it. "Lucky" Baldwin Out of Luck The Peter Pan Woodland Club is the centerpiece of 3000 acres of what was once the "Lucky" Baldwin estate. But tradition up here says that "Lucky" did not always live up to his name. He used his estate for raising and training his race horses. After many years, he became involved in litigation over the riparian rights to the crystal waters which to this day pour a great volume from a giant spring. Court decisions are said to have shaken "Lucky," out of his estate. Be that as it may, some seven years ago the 3000-acre tract came into the ownership of the Big Bear Land & Water Co., with Harry Klener, of Los Angeles, as president, who has some ideas of his own about riparian rights. Instead of using the Big Bear spring waters for livestock and agricultural purposes, his company started the building of Big Bear City and also became the sponsor of the Peter Pan Woodland Club. And the idea works, for the company supplies water for humans to consume. Up and Coming Community Big Bear City is an up and coming community. It has a trading center in the form of stores, post office, filling stations and other facilities. It has been successful in attracting new customers and providing new services to its residents. Conidentially, we wear them all winter, and so when we saw the street cleaners sporting them it aroused more than a little curiosity. "How does it come about that you are wearing spats?" we nervously asked one gutter Chesterfield. He just grinned, and then told me they were the most comfortable articles of wearing apparel he had ever worn. "They keep the dirt out of the tops of my shoes," said he, and I saw the point. "They don't cost me anything, either," he continued. "You'd be surprised at the number of pairs I find in emptying garbage cans." WHERE OLD HATS GO When everybody wore silk hats there was a rushing trade in second-hand hats, cabbies getting most of them. Now the stage costumers buy up most of them and sell them to magicians and actors for fifty cents each. There also is a strong market for them in Central Africa, where native chieftains regard them in much the same light as King Alfonso did his jeweled crown. How many thousands are sold in equatorial Africa may never be known. WOMEN'S HATS Occasionally one sees pictures of women of fashion in the gay 90's, crowned with an enormous hat with ostrich feathers and looking like a head of rhubarb or a gooseberry bush, at least in size. Such pictures always give one a laugh. In New York City, which any New Yorker will tell you is the best-dressed city in the world, one cannot walk more than a few blocks on ultra-fashionable Fifth Avenue without encountering some women well past seventy, decked out in those original hats. Most of them wear their skirts to the ground, carry reticules and look like a page out of Godney's Ladies' Book, which, you may recall, was the fashion gazette of Civil War days. These old women are treated with respect by everybody. This is probably the only place in the world where their manner of dressing would not excite derision. SILK HATS Time was, within the memory of young middle-aged persons, when practically all "white collar" men in New bedsteads and dressers, to tables, chairs, floor lamps, inkstands and ash trays— in its own furniture factory. Created Own Designs The company's architects and builders follow designs of their own creation, which harmonize with the great pineries and towering mountains which give a home its setting. Some of the cabins cost $500, some $1,000, and there are a few imposing estates along the lake front which have cost the Los Angeles merchants who live in them $30,000. If a cabin owner who lives in Arizona, or New Mexico, or even in Big Bear City, becomes a landlord who rents his cabin for a long or short period, the company will collect the rent for him, will look after the upkeep of the cabin, and become general business agent for the property. Cabins. Furniture of Native Pine The interior of the clubhouse, its lodges and the private cabins are all dressed up in native pine finished with clear varnish. So is all the furniture that comes from the company's factory. A fire-place is a feature of every cabin—a cavernous structures made up of richly colored and rough stones from the mountains. One of these fire-places is a choice attraction of the clubhouse lounge. It rises from the floor to the ceiling, and represents a San Bernardino mountain of rock. A midget water fall trickles down either end, and above the fire-place, which will take in four or five large pine logs, there is a miniature "Rim-of-the-World" highway with tiny autos and Claude Allen's busses seeming to make their way up and down the grades. Klener Looks Into Future "Much as we have done, we have only made a beginning," said Mr. Klener, sitting on the broad porch of the clubhouse on Sunday morning, and dreamily looking far across the airplane landing field to Dusan canyon. "The club idea has been so successful that we do not now have a building lot for sale for love or money. "One of the things we are going to do is to make the golf course larger. We are also going to make an English cricket court—the first one in America." Bear lake stocked with trout and bass. We have some high ideals for making Big Bear City still more a place of repose for those who come here to make their permanent homes." And seeing what Mr. Klener has done, the serveners were disposed to think that he will go on and do what he is dreaming about.
