Value OF Olive Products.

The importation of olive oil from
France and Great Britain into San
Francisco for the year ending June 80.
1879, was 3S,S37 gllons, valued at S59,-
942, and 1913 cases of picked olives.
of which l estimate the value at S72,-
522. In few years this importation
will cease and this money will be saved
to our people. In ten years, if our
farmers see proper. California can sup
ply the home demand and export olive
oil and picked olives. The present
tariff offers every inducement for the
planting of these trees, as all olive oil
imported into the United States must
pay duty of one dollar per gallon.
The olive trees of the old mission and
the orchards planted from this stock at
San Diego, Los Angeles, Santa Barba
ra and San Jose prove that our climate
is favorable to the growth of this val
liable tree. The oil from these trees
and orchards that has come to this
r,arket during the past year, is of fine
flavor, of most superior quality, and of
that peculiar light green color possessed
only by fresh an unadulterated olive
oil of the first class. do not fear con-
tradiction when | say that there is not
a gallon of olive oil imported into San
Francisco from France, Spain and Italy
that is not more or less adulterated
with refined lard oil, peanut oil, or
some cheaper harmless and edible in
gredient. The owners of our few olive
bearing orchards have not yet learned
the adulteration of olive oil, and so far

him Off Soon the poor little blacks
are obliged to flee, and the victors car
nv away their children in triumph.
These are taken home to their slaves,
who care for them until the little fel-

The slaves, instead OF being sorry for

because they think that the black ants
are better protected by their warriors
than they would he at home. If the at
tempt should be unsuccessful, and
their masters should return without
slaves, the blacks will block up the door
and sometimes drag them back and
make them fight.
