glancing his ear and striking Quiet

A CENTRAL CITRUS BELT.
The Possibilities in the Line Of Citrus
Fruit at Niles, Alameda County.

The recent citrus fairs that have been
held. north and SOUTH in this State, have
been admirably calculated to show the
wonderful development of this industry in
California. 1t would be very difficult to de-
termine which of the famous citrus belts"
he north or the so nth. shows the greater
advancement in this direction, but, fortu-
nately, there is no necessity for making the
decision.
But while the MOTT h and south have been
engaged in an cumulative contest in growing
oranges and lemons, good many orchard
lists and growers in the central part of the
Stale have been successfully demonstrating
that some of the bay counties are well
adapted for the cultivation of the golden
fruit. There are as fine oranges as one
would need wish for grown among the
mountains that surround the Livermore
Valley, famous for its vineyards and wines :;
And others grown within thirty miles of
San Francisco lat Niles in Alameda County,,
that compare more than favoraby with the
finest products of either the sunny south or
the favored north. The newspaper writer
sometimes finds the lines falling to him in
pleasant places, and one of these times q
CALL representative enjoyed the other day
In strolling through the aforementioned

tful hill landscape that formed fitting
frame for the grove.

the planting was largely an experiment on

four feet highly was so laden with oranges as
to present at little distance uniformly
yellow hue, the green leaves being hardly
visible. The overbCrdened branches were
all prOpped up, and the pretty bush see med
literally staggering under its load as it
swayed in the gentle breeze. Nearly every
tree in the grove was similarly loaded, al
though at the time of THE CALL represen-
tatve's visit Mr. Mayhem had already
made several shipments of the fruit to
San Francisco, where 1t sold as readily as
the finest specimens from Riverside.
The oranges are of the Washington navel
variety, large, firm, beautiful fruit, so sweet
to the palate ands of flavor so delicate
that one finds ii hard to believe they were
grown not in either famed citrus belt, but
Just in common Alameda County soil, and
with only the most ordinary cultivation.
Mr.. MAYHEM is this year setting out more
trees. aud is convinced that this section of
country is well adapted to raising citrus
fruits.
Nor is the MAYHEM grove the only one in
the immediate vicinity OF Niles that fur
nishes confirmation of this belief. Mr..
James Shinn. one of the pioneers in this
pioneer frult-grOwlng section, has been
especially successful in raising fine oranges,
in size and flavor fully equal to those in the
Mayhem grove. Mr.. Daniel Sanborn has in
his garden some remarkably fine lemon
trees. bearing fruit of large size and cap
ital flavor; and Mr.. LOring Pickering has
small grove Of orange trees, which, though
only year old, are growing finely, and
this winter even put forth few blossoms
of waxy, perfumed whiteness, as sort of
promissory notes to be redeemed next year

number of fine trees. The instances men,
toned are all in different parts of the see
ton, and there are numerous scattering
votes-individual treeS-in different gardens
here and there in the district, all swelling
the aggregate of testimony as to the possi-
bilities of this section for growing fine
oranges.

Captain Williams WAS born in 1910, went
to sea at the age of IA, aud followed that
line for eighteen years. His record as life
saver commenced at the early age of s, by
the rescue of a companion who had slipped
from a rock into deep water and was drown
ing, when Williams dove down and brought
the exhausted boy to safety.
AT the age OF IL lie was in fishing smack
with eighteen others, among them being
his father and grandfather. The smack
was struck by a squall and capsiZed. Young
Williams went to the assistance of his
grandfather and succeeded in getting the
old man ashore, but his father ana six others
were drowned
A few months subsequently Williams was
bitten by mad dog, his hand being so
badly lacerated that the scars are vet plainly
visible. woman, horse and hog were
bitten by the same dog. The woman and
the horse soon after died of bydrophobia.
Williams and the hog escaped that fate.
One day, soon after this Young Williams
was bathing in prohibited water, when the
local policeman put in an appearance. WILL
Jams seized his clothes and ran. Some bows
seeing him coming toward them full tilt,
and knowing of his having been bitten,
thought he had suddenly gone mad and ran
screaming. Several women VINO happened
TO get in the line of the procession seeing
the bitten boy rushing along in puris natu-
raiibus, apparently in chase of the others,
also took 20 their heels, and the whole
little community was soon in a state of wild
cOmmotion, which was only allayed when
the explanation of the cause went around.
AT the age OF IA he went 10 sea on the
bark Amazona TO Para, Brazil. Having
been subjected to ill-usage on the voyage, he
determined to get away from the ship at
Para. This he ACCOMPLISHED at night by
means of tub used in washing decks, and
in which he drifted and padded twelve
miles down the river. He escaped the many
alligators, but his plan of escape from the
ship was frustrated by the people to whom

TRAP AND TRIGGER.
Monthly Pigeon Short of the

The County Club held its monthly pigeon
shoot yesterday afternoon at the Oakland

were all favorable, the weItter being nearly
perfect and the birds good strong flying
lot. The new trapping device worked to a
charm. and gave all the shooters an even
chance to slaughter the birds. AS to the
shooting It was but fair, many birds eScap-
ing out of bounds.
1t rather raised laugh on some of the
sportsmen when bird after being released
from the trap lowered over it for q moment
and then escaping both barrels of the
shooter would easily hutter to the stand,
and perching on the roof proceed to coo a
call to its comrades in the pens. Aud then
to add to the aggravaton, when dislodged
from its perch it would slowly fly away to
its dovecot across the bay, regardless of
and unframed by the guns of outlying men,

The most interesting part of the shoot was
the superhuman intelligence Displayed by
the red retriever of Trapper Rice when
picking up the wounded bird. He would
approach bird that had only been slightly
crippled, and with all the stealth of an In
dian and after all manner of tricks to
soOthe his alarm, finally "gobble him up"
and add to the score of the holder of the
