WORKING TOGETHER.
Cooperation Is Needed Among
the States Fruit-GrOWers.

The State Board of Horticulture met yes
terday afternoon, with Chairman Stabler
presiding.
Some extracts from Baltimore papers
We're read by the Chairman, stating that
the peach crop of Maryland and Delaware
had been considerably injured by the pres
ence of ''yellows" in the orchards. The
statements were discussed by the members
and the opinion expressed that the reports
were exaggerated.
An extract from New York paper, deal
Ing with the California cherry crop, was
read by Professor Wickson. The extract
stated that Eastern cherries could not COM
pete with Californian in the New York mar
ket, and ascribed the superiority of the Cali
tornlan fruit to the dryness of the climate.
The adyisabilIty of selling peaches and
apricotS green or dried was discussed at
some length. Present prices, it was urged,
would make it mora prOfita BILE to dry the
fruit before offering it for sale
DAMAGE BY THE HOT WAVE.
Several members then described the dam
age done to the fruit in their sections by the
recent hot wave. The heat had stunted the
growth OF the early peaches in particular
and seemed to have affected the later yare-
ties.
The subject set for discussion, "Co-opera-
ton Among Fruit-growers and the Labor
Question" was then taken up. An invita-
ton to be present had been extended to the
colonies in the Santa Clara Valley, which
are trying cooperative plan. A reply had
been received stating that those interested
were unable to attend.
Chairman Stabler advocated cooperation,
on the ground that the combination of the
Gamers would render concerted action on
the part of the fruit-growers necessary.
James Shinn of Napa urged the advisa-
bility of establishing small canneries in
every large fruit center. This was objected
TO on the score of expense, but cooperation
for drying fruit was generally considered
feasible.
LABOR is PLENTIFUL.
Mr.. Brown described limited system of
cooperation which had been tried in the
Sacramento Valley with the best results.
On the question of labor there was unan-
unity of opinion that help of all kind is
plentiful in every section of the State.
Specimens of tragedy and diamond plums
and of the prunus Simoni were exhibited by
Leonard of Napa, and at the suggestion of
Professor Wi"kson the name of the last va
riety was changed to Simon plums. as there
is an impression that the fruit is prane

The simple girl made him the custodian

ne explained in an excited manner, had

last Emily saw of her newly found friend
and her $780,
A few days later she received letter
from him, dated in Vancouver, informing
her that he had caught the man and re-
covered part of the money" He wanted
her to join him. Meanwhile she had in
formed the police of her case. On the de-
tectives' advice she did not join him, but sent
MIN word that she had just received 500

IN THE POTATO BELT.
Surpassing Fertility Of the Lower
Sacramento.
Fortunes Have Been Made as Quickly as in
the Days Of the Gold Fever-Figures
for the Curious.

The recent potato glut in the San Fran
cisco market will not have been without
good result if it directs public attention to
the extraordinary fertility of the lower
Sacramento Valley-a fertility equal to that
Of the Tigris and Euphrates valleys of old,
and surpassed only, il at all, by the Nile
Valley below Assouan.
CALL reporter, who took trip through
the riparian district between Sacramento
and San Francisco, became aware of the
fact that an immense number of latent
fortunes are located all the way from Sacra-
mento City to the head of Suisun Bay-that
is TO say. TO the limit of ordinary bay nayl-
cation. 1t is a little world of itself, this
seventy odd miles of river navigation. The
railroad passes it far away out of sight. but
more money is made and spent between
Clarksburg and Collinsville than the most
favored mining center of California now
dreams of. When the agricultural wealth
of the Pearson District comes to be fully
developed; when all the rich soil en- the
Sacramento River islands is brought under
the pillow and sown for what it is worth, the

have had a potato crop such as even Cali
fornia has never seen, and though we have
sent it nearly all over the United States, we
have hardly been able to get rid of our sur
plus"
AS before remarked. trip on river
cisco is a revelatol. The days of old, the
days of gold, the days of 49," linger only
in the memory of pioneers. and the modern
trip is shorn of all elements of
revelry, reverie and rampage. The
banks no longer echo to the cries of men
maddened by victory or despair; the dice do
not click all night long in the cabins and the
moon and stars look down placidiy on
scenes as Tranquil as themselves. The transit
tcn from placer-mining to potato-digging
has been tolerably sudden, butno unwhole-
some, and there is probably as much money
in the long run in the one as in the other.

Hence this thusnesP". The survivors, on
the other hand, claim that it is the whisky
alone that has saved them. "And what"
said the CALL reporter, 'do you do with the
children?" Why" said gray beard, with
an air of innocent surprise at the question,
I'VE give them whisky, too"
RIVERSIDE PALACES AND NOVELS.
All the way down the Sacramento, from
Clarksburg to C0llinsvlle. the Mob Hill
world is repeated in rural phase. There are
the most beautiful waterside villas, shaded
with cottonwood trees, besirt with lawns
and surrounded with evidences of luxury
that might dazzle the mind of Monte
Cristo. There are, on the other hand, YER
table and actual waterside Chinatowns, in
which the producers of wealth live in the
utmost squalor and wretchedness. Near
CORTLAND is a Chinatown nearly as big as
Sausalito, a picturesque object for the ar

ment not more enduring than brass"
