SACRAMENTO AND THE FRUIT TRADE


ne San ranclScO Hltd saws.
Organization of the fruit trade has proved
that Sacramento is to be the center of shipment
1t has developed new industry for that good
city, and has made it the focus of this great
commerce Our State capital is to be to the fruit
trade of the State-What Chicago is to the grain
trade of the Mediterranean States. Thousands
of carloads Will leave that city every year Be
ginning with the April cherries the May
peaches, the June apricots, the July plums,
prunes and pears, the August grapes and then
passing to the late fruits which reach the East
as far behind the Eastern season as these are
ahead of it, finally the orange crop of central
and northern California will keep up a constant
now OF shipments to an eager market so that
not more than one month in the year will be
without its fresh fruits to forward from that CITY
Collateral to the fruit trade must grow up com
merce IN fresh vegetables. California has new
potatoes, green peas, string beans, cabbage,
caulitlower and salads every month in the year
They are all hardy and bear shipment. They
can be put into the Chicago market in four days
from the garden, and into New York in six
mere Is no reason why an excellent trade
should not be made in these products. Florida
is our only rival but Florida is incapable of
perpetual succession OF crops.
The only error in this pleasant state
ment is in the recital that the fruit trade
has developed new industry for Sacra-
mento. 1t is not new; its broader devel-
opment is simply the result of old and con-
fessed commercial advantages of this To-
cality. As far back as twelve years
ago this was a fruit trade center,
and fruit shipments first went East
from this point. sixteen years ago We
do not think we exceed the bounds Of
truth when we say that for the most of
the time since horticulture became a prom
inent industry in California, Sacramento
has been the chief point for the output of
fruit from the State The natural reasons
that make this 4 favored locality for the
business have augmented with the build
ing of new lines of transportation and the
development of the country, but beyond
that the causes are the same-it is, in
short, only an increase in facilities and OPP
portunities. This city is the focal point
for vast trade in central and northern
California, and by reason of the conyerg-
ence here of several important di-
yerging lines OF transportation into valley
and foothill and to the coast, it is the one
point of all Others for the easy aggrega-
ton OF fruit crops for FINAL packing, prior
to the trip across the mountains With
the extension of fruit and vegetable cul-
ture, this city, as the Alta well says, will
augment its Importance as a trade center
for these products. With the enhanced
commercial value of this market will flow
in other factors of trade, and contribute to
the enlargement of the general business of
the city, and especially the jobbing trade
for the north and interior, and for which
Sacramento is now the natural and chief
depot OF supply.

CoMMIrTYE WORK.

The Senate Committee on Irrigation and
Water Rights held its first regular meeting yes
! terday afternoon.
| On motion OF Lowe, the committee took up fol
| consideration Senate Bill No. l, introduced by
| Del Vale. so ordered. The author of the bill
stated that he had a substitute to offer for the
| bill, which materially altered the scope of the
original.
| Cross moved that the committee report the
! original bill back TO the Senate with request
| that it be withdrawn and the substitute allowed
| 10 take its place. Carried. The original bill
reads as follows
An Act concerning the ownership of water in
natural navigsble streams and providing for
the acquisition thereof by appropriation.
Section l. The water of every natural innayi-
gable stream, within the State of California is
hereby declared 10 be the property of the pub
lie. and is dedicated to the use of the people OF
the state, subject 10 appropriation, diversion
aud use Tor irrigation or other beneficial pur-
passes; and the right to divert unappropriated
waters of any natural innAvigable stream to
such peneflcial uses shall never be denied.
Prior appropriation. whether heretofore or here
after made to any such use shall give the bet
ter right aud the right of appropriation shall
be exercised under legislative regulations The
English common law OF riparian rights so far
as il conflicts with this Act shall not be recog-
nized as rule of decision in any Courts of this
State.
Following is the substitute "The waters of
all natural streams within the State are hereby
declared to be the property of the people OF the
State Such water may be diverted and used
for irrigation and ether beneficial purposes
under regulations prescribed By law; provided
that navigation IN nayigable streams under con-
troll of the United States shall not be impaired:
and provided that the rights now acquired to
appropriate, divert and use water shall not be
impaired so long as such water is applied to the
purposes forwhich the same has been appro-
pristed."
The committee next took up fer consideration
Senate bin No. 5, introduced by Whitney. The
title OF the bill is; An Act to declare the title
- rrx-a rrwa II
and the right TO use them" IL has already
been published in these columns.1
Mr.. Whitney explained to the committee the
merits OF the bill. which were discussed at some
length, and finally debate ensued between
Senators Reddy. Cress. Whitney, SAKE, Spencer
and others on the irrigation question in general
which consumed the time of the committee up
70 near,y o'clock. The Whitney bill was ex-
planned to be merely declaration of the exist
ing condition of affairs as regards water rights
NJ. keddy held that the recent decision OF the

to obey. The newspaper man has no more
right to violate it than one of the parties
or attorneys or witnesses to the case. There
is no broader privilege to the man who
happens to control few types and a
cylinder press than to any other citizen,
and he has no license to defeat the ends of
justice that is not possessed by the citizen
who does not commit his ideas to print
The case of the Examiner in itself is a
small one, but the principle involved is
one of surprising magnitude. We should
feel self-reproach if we permitted the occa-
sion TO pass, without as one of the press,
entering our protest against the fallacy of
the defense set up by our San Francisco
contemporary.

THE Oreoonian saws

The trouble with the river and harbor bill is
the same difficulty that paralyzes all efforts of
either party to revise or reform the tariff Every
member OF Congress makes some SOP TO his con
situents the condition of his support OF the bill.
In consequence the bill always gets loaded
down with lot of refuse matter, which robs it
of all reform quality if il becomes law. or per-
suades Q protesting Executive to veto it.
This is the most concise statement Of the
case yet made The way to avoid all this
difficulty is to prepare four distinct bills,
one embracing harbor appropriations on
sea coasts, enc on internal harbors, one on
nayigable river improvements, and one
embracing all artificial ways and all
schemes to create navigable channels. BY
this means riders" can be prevented and
all the sop confined to one bill, which
may thus be more easily killed.

A Successful Play. .

Robinson and Crane, the well known
commedians are presenting the "Come
dy of Errors" at the Holiday Street
Theatre, Baltimore, and 1t Is being
received. The revival
of this Shakcsperean comedy has prov
cd grand success, and last year, al
though 1t was considered bad season,
1t netted the projectors $37, 900. This
year Messrs. Robinson and Crane have
spent $50, 900 for costumes and scenery,
to still further improve the play, and
their receipts for the first 10 weeks of
the season were about $4,000. Two
weeks in Chicago brought them $l8. 600.
at Philadelphia, $40, 900, while Ave days
at Louisville returned them $500.
There were many persons who predict
cd that the revival of this comedy on
the extensive style proposed by Messrs.
Robinson and Crane would prove q
failure, but the result has shown that
these predictions were unfounded.
