and other Eastern orchard districts.
There is every indication, besides, that
the California fruit business here is com
paratively but in its infancy, and that
it's future growth, SO far as bulk of i'm
portations is concerned, will be as start
ling as that of the last three years. This
growth will undoubtedly lower the prices
obtainable for the California product, but
probably not below figures at which the
Pacific slope growers will be able to net a
fair profit, while local producers are
struggling along from hand to mouth as
for several years past.
"Plums and prunesfr from California COM
mand about double the price Of the do
mestic fruit and often go much higher.
The Earle Fruit Company has sent some
here this season that fetched as high as
$3 box, equal to about 2 cents apiece,
at wholesale.
'With grapes the facts are still more in
favor OF the California product. The
Tokays, which form the bulk, bring from
$3.50 to $3.50 per case of forty pounds
Muscats and the California MaIag a bring
similar prices, while domestic Concords
are sold at wholesale for less than 4 4cents
per pound, and can even be bought on
fruit stands for 3A cents per pound.
There are various reasons for the in
crease in the amount of California fruit
sent here and in the high prices that it
brings, some of which reasons are the
fault of nature, which smiles more kindly
on the Pacific slope than on this rocky
coast while others are the fault of the
domestic producers, who make no proper
effort to get their fruit to market in at
tractive shape. When California fruit
first began to come East it was not gen
orally satisfactory. It's size and appear
ance were all right, but it lacked flavor
and did not seem likely to become popu-
lar Either because of changes in methods
of cultivation, or because pains are taken
to select only finely favored fruit for the
Eastern market, there has been change
in this respect, and all the points toqual-
ity seem now to be in favor of the Cali
fornia product. 1t is not only better look
ing and better tasting than the domes-
tic fruit, but it is also better keeping,
which counts for a great deal in it's favor.
Domestic grapes, for instance, begin to
soften three or four days after they leave
the vineyards, while California grapes,
after eight or ten days spent in transit,
are still as hard and firm as domestic
grapes fresh from the vines. The same is
true, Mr.. Goodsell says of all California
fruit.
''But one great thing in favor of the Cal
ifornia fruit is the way in which it is
packed Domestic growers, as rule, get
their product Off the trees or vines as
quickly and as cheaply as possible, hustle
it, almost unsorted, into baskets or bar
rels, and get it off to market as quickly
as possible. 1t gets here damaged in
quality and unattractive in appearance.
In California, on the other hand, fruit for
the East is picked and sorted with the ut
most care, and each hseparatepeach, plum,
or pear is wrapped in little pink paper
covering. Then they are laid in boxes of
thin boards, in neat rows, nailed up, and
sent away. They reach the market AL

The constitution of Washington re-
qaires that all voters shall be citizens
of the United States, That is no per-
son Of foreign birth can vote upon mere
declaration Of his intention to become
a citizen. He can vote only upon at
tanning citizenship, five years after such
declaration. Il is provided, however,
that all persons who were voters at the
time of the adoption of the constitution
shall still be electors. Under his con-
stitution it will not be possible for poll
tical committees to grind out grist of
foreign born voters for an election near
at hand, and every man of foreign birth
will have to wait till he has had an
opportunity to know something about
the duties of citizenship before he can
