n long editorial 1edded CalllOfIlla,
regarding our markets, says: The efforts |
recently made by the California fruit |
growers, to sell their products in the |
Eastern markets, do not, in the opinion of |
some Eastern papers, indicate that the |
Eastward movement of California fruit |
will be continued. California papers reply |
that those who grow fruit in that State
and ship it to Eastern cities, are not dis
They are content with the pro-
gress thus far made, inasmuch as they
take all the risk, and they do not think that
thev stand in need of Eastern pity. We
hope nothing will check the development
of the fruit-growing industry in California,
or the extension of the California trade in
fruits green or dried, for which we now
depend in a great measure upon foreign
producers. The development of the pro-
duction in California of lemons, oranges,
raisins, olives, prunes, almonds, wine, and
other articles of consumption for which we
now pay millions every year TO foreign
countries, should be encouraged by the
whole nation. The growth of California S
fruit trade in the East depends mainly on
the rates of transportation. California S
shippers should carefully study the East
ern market before shipping their fruit to
us. They should ship fruit with which we
are not well supplied by our own produc
ers. For example: A California shipper
cannot hope to build up here a large
and profitable trade in grapes. If
he send oranges, he must compete
with the excellent fruit of Florida. On the
other hand. there are products of California
that should compete successfully in the
East with the imported products, such as
raisins, lemons, almonds, prunes, walnuts,
olives, olive oil, wines and brandies. Quail
ity and price being equal, the intelligent
consumers in the East would prefer Cali
fornia raisins to these which come from
the Mediterranean countries. In the last
year there was a great improvement III
packing and grading California products.
We buy millions of boxes OF imported
raisins every year. Why should the de-
mand be Supplied by California? The
olive oil produced in the State is as good as
any that can be found in the Old World,
and it is pure. Great quantities of adul-
terated oil are sold in the East. Years ago
cotton seed oil was exported to Italy, to be
returned to this country as olive oil, and,
like foreign wines, it is under a cloud.
There is great and growing demand 10
the East for purity in such products. Cali
ifornia should try to supply it. The peo-
pie of the East are beginning to know
something about the wines of California.
The publication of the disagreeable facts
about the tricks of the French wine-makers
caused q demand for wines that are pure.
The Improvement in the quality of Cali
fornia wines, and the effort to introduce
them in the East in nlace Of French wines,
have turned the attention Of consumers TO
this source of supply. II the winemakers
of the Pacific slope shall wisely manage
their export trade, striving above all things
to provide for Eastern buyers pure wine,
they will as rapidly increase their sales.
They should sell their products only
through trustworthy agencies, so that the
buver may know he is getting an honest
product, for already the wines of Cali
fornia are counterfeited in Eastern cities,
an injury to California producers and an
injury TO consumers here. So long as pro-
ducers in California throw every safeguard
around both the production and sale of
their wines the demand will steadily in
crease, and the quantity imported from
France will decrease.

A Woman Living with Two Husbands.
BAY CITY (Mich.), September 3D.
About nine years since Henry Voight left
Germany for this country and settled in
West Bay City. He accumulated some
wealth and sent for his wife. She, in the
meantime, thinking him dead, had mar
RED Jacob Wehers, whom she left and
oined her first husband. Soon after arriv-
ing here she louged for the second, and,
after many weeks of hard work she sent
money to him and he came to America.
He was greeted by her very affectionately
and introduced to her first husband. Ex-
plantations followed, the matter was salts
adjusted and arrangements en-
-ered into whereby the double wife was to
keep house for the two husbands. The
-hree are now living in the same house at
Saginaw county.
