THAT FRUIT TRUST.

Leading Fruifmen OF San Francisco
Know Nothing AboutIt.
When the large fruit-shippers of San
Francisco read yesterdays Geographic re-.
ports from the interior they began to think,
as intimated by the dispatch, the gigantic
fruit trust which it was said several weeks
ago was 10 be formed in California by
7. b. Armstrong, was assuming shape. 1t
was said at that time that Mr.. Armstrong,
who was formerly known as the manager
of the New York Mutual Insurance Com
pany in San Francisco, backed by an I'M
limited amount of capital, was going to
combine the entire fruit industry of Cali
fornia into a trust.
Since that time Mr.. Armstrong has come
10 California and invested heavily In fruit
ranches. On Thursday. A. w. Porter of
this city. w. r. Strong of Sacramento and
Mr.. Dalton OF Dalton Bros. of this city,
leading fruitmeD, when questioned about
the matter. said that while it is true that
Mr.. Armstrong has acquired great deal of
orchard property, there Is nothing in the
nature of fruit trust.

though several carloads have been already
sent East aud to the larger towns IN the
State.
This trouble all springs out of the ship
ment Of large quantities of unripe new po-
tatOes from gardens on the shores of the
bay" said commission merchant yester-
day. You can see from these samples that
this stuff never ought TO be shipped any
how. If the producer ships a quantity of
new potatoes here expecting TO get TX
cents pound, at 100 to 40 pounds to the
sack, he is going to be badly disappointed.
and we shall be doing we'll il we can sell
them for six bits a sack. One reason VIII Y
the demand Is so small Is that the dealers
sre all loaded down with old potatoes of
much finer quality than this trash. The
rush from Sacramento River points will not
come for a month or two yet, and we can
attend to that when 1. comes. But to snip
unripe new potatoes, with their skins that
peel off and so render it impossible to send
them by rail. is simply a dead loss to the
producer and no good to u.s."

Counties Thus Afflicted Are Yearl,
Becoming Poorer.
Unsatisfactory Showings Made by Te-
hama and Tulare Counties
Yesterday.

Representatives from the counties of
Tulare and Tehama were heard by the
State Board of Equalization yesterday,
and most of the day was occupied in dis
cussing matters appertaining to valua-
tions as assessed by the officials of those
counties.
Tulare County was represented by
Assessor D. F. Coffee, Deputy Assessor
John Brown, T. Henderson and J. Fox,
Supervisors.
The delegation from and representing
Tehama County was quite formidable
one. and consisted of J. L. Barham, As
of Supervisors; H. Bressler, Supervisor;
A. NJ. Mccoy, District Attorney; ]. S.
Cone, capitalist DIR. Matthews and R. H.
Blossom.
Tehama County was heard first, and its
property values were pretty thoroughly
overhauled. The assessment roll shows
a decrease of several thousand dollars as
compared with last years returns, and
this was accounted for in several ways.
1t was claimed that the appraisement
by the Assessor last year was too high,
and that various prevailing conditions Of
the past year have resulted in deprecia-
ton of values.
Some portions of the county are i'm
proving, and show it on the roll, While
other parts have shown falling of,
owing to light crops, the low prices
ruling for live stock and the fact that
many valuable cattle and blooded stock
have been removed.
The Tehama County people claim ed
that land has deprecated in value to an
alarming extent in the last few years.
Mr.. Kraft said it has in twenty years de-
preciated so per cent. Some of them
seemed to think that the county was
more prosperous twenty or thirty years
ago than it has been since.
Tulare County went through the regu-
lar ordeal, and its representatives made
the customary showings to justify reduc-
tions shown in many instances by the
assessment roll. Land valuations were
gone into with considerable thorough
ness, and in many cases it seemed that it
was, to say the least, not overrated by
the Assessor.
By the time the remaining counties are
heard from the board will doubtless be
very well informed as to the prosperity
OF the various parts of the State.

ALARMING FIGURES.
Archbishop Riordan on the Curse of
Liquor.

Archbishop Riordan on the Curse of
Liquor.
At a meeting of the League of the Cross
IN San Francisco Monday uight Arch
bishop Riordan said:
"Do you ask, is there really as much
danger in social glass as temperance re-
formers claim?' We are people OF fig
ures; let me quote few: In San Fran
cisco there are 3, 200 licensed bars for the
sale OF liquor by the glass. That means
one saloon TO every 96 of a population of
5oo,OOO, one saloon to every IL voters! 1t
IS Impossible to estimate the amount of
money they require to be supported, but
Calltornlans are generous and support
more saloons in proportion to population
than any other city in the Union. Here
are the figures OF a few: Boston has one
saloon to every 773 inhabitants, Philadel-
phla's proportion is one to every 1913,
Minneapolis 675, New Orleans 3SS, st.
Paul 345, Chicago 1876, New Y York 1SS, De-
troit 203, Denver 213, Cincinnati 135, Mil
waukee l4S, and poor, foolish San Fran
cisco is at the bottom of the list with one
saloon for every So people it contains.
I'VE are not keeping pace with the
other cities of the country. You hear
that said by business men every day, and
read 1t in every daily paper. But one
business seems to thrive, and that one is
the business OF making men and women
paupers through drink. The pernicious,
soul and body destroying business is on
every hand. If new street is opened
the choicest corner is devoted 10 rum
shop. If vast building is erected a
rum-seller at once takes his stand to
catch the toilers within. Down at the
now town of Rodeo, where the industry
which caused the founding of the town
is not yet fairly under way, there are
number OF saloons waiting for the earn
ings of the toilers so soon to be located
there. Even the very gates Of the cities
OF the dead are confronted by rumshops
of so low a character that silent is not
applicable to the consecrated ground. L
am even now engaged in a battle against
the establishment of rumshop at the
gates OF Holy Cross Cemetery, several
miles from the city, and viii tight it to
the bitter end"

DRUNKEN PIUTES.

Somebody is Violating the Law by
Selling Liquor to Them.
The law is very stringent against the
sale of liquor to Indians, but there is
somebody hereabouts who has no respect
for the law, and consequently none for
himself, for drunken Piutes are seen
every day. Yesterday one of them grossly
insulted lady in the outskirts of the

Since there are persons who boast that
they sell liquor to women, drunk or
sober, SO long as they are able TO pay for
1t, 1t is not strange that Indians can get
the article. The police can get little ex-
perience in detective work In this line.
