Fruit Canning.

Few people have correct idea of the
magnitude of the fruit canning business
in California. In value it will soon
equal that of the cereal production. Last
year the fruit trade of the State reached
the enormous sum of eight millions OF
dollars, or nearly forty per cent. OF the
entire production Of the gold mines.
The yield Of the precious metals is di-
vanishing every year, while the grain
and fruit yields are increasing. It is to
the products of the soil and manufactur-
ing Industries that California must look
for her future wealth. The grain pro-
ducing capabilities Of the state are
known, butts fruit growing possibilities
are as yet only partially comprehended
The investment of capital in fruit can
ming establishments in various localities
is having the effect of encouraging fruit
growing ventures. Many farmers have
discovered, and many more are coming
to the conclusion that there is much
more profit in an acre of orchard or vine
ward than there is in several acres OF
grain. Although fruit raising is only on
the threshold Of development, last years
marketed product is worth eight millions
of dollars What it will be in the course
Of another decade remains for the future

Editorial Battles.

An exchange says: There are few un-
sophisticated persons who believe that
editors who quarrel and eat each other
p-metaphorically speaking = III the
columns Of their journals, are actually at
swords points, and death would result
should they happen to meet on thestreet.
It is very natural for people to think SO,
and vet the friendship existing between
these journalistic ombatants shines like
a bald head IN the golden glow OF q sum-
nler morning. We once knew two edl-
tors out in the mountains who used to
Law awake nigles to map out inyectlyes

ferred to the other as : hybrid hyena

homes Of Hermosa like a hideous night

tainted the pure mountain breezes and
bred contagion' The other came back
and called his rival "a grim and CHASTITY
ohoul Of Gehenna, whose putfid carcass
could hardly be kept III shape by his
seeCy clothes and whose filthy venom
was not fit to be speWed from the cor
ruDted NAV OF the internal regions.

each other t'BilF' and Jack and wen
up to the bar and flooded their lowe
levels and each insisted upon paying TO
the drinks with a soeiability that Wonll
soften the hardest heart. In the straight
laced east such language would call TO
a law suit on the spot, but in the ire
and guileless west these are but terms
