Fruit of all kinds has been several weeks
late this year, which has caused cons dera-
BILE inconvenience to the very many fami-
lies who came from other places in expecta-
tion of securing steady work all summer.
There were several cases reported of fami.
lies who were almost suffering. Some of
our cannerymen. to help the people all they
could, sent abroad for tons of fruit and
vegetables, just to give work to the many
who were seeking 1t so anxiously, But now,

needed. with three canneries running 10
their fullest capacity, besides. numerous
frult-dryers throughout the valley, as well
as in town. II is believed that every one will
be able 10 get work. At the three canneres

The first refrigerator Car that has ever
been in Healdsburg was loaded with fresh
fruit and shipped East by Cook IL Langley
this week While the fruit crop will be
very large, the fruit is not so large The
complaint is made that the frnit-grOwers
did not thin out their fruit as they should.
This is q serious mistake, for the fruit is not
as large and fine, and great many limbs
here have been broken down under the
weight of the fruit. This has come under
the observation of the writer, who has also
recently seen peach blossoms on peach
tree breaking down under its load of late
peaches.
The fine open-air concerts given every
Saturday night by the Sotoyome band,
under the leadership Of Prot d. c. Smith,

If one may judge by the crowded condition
OF the streets surrounding our beautiful
