OF INTEREST TO UIT-GROWERS.
The Outlook Is for Only a Half Crop
in the East.
This Is Based on Reliable Data-Fast
Time to Be Made by the Expe-
dited Fruit Trains.

In the reference on Wednesday to the
visit of E. L. Goodsell of New York to
this city, the gentleman was spoken of as
the one who handled and sold the New
York fruit consignments sent by the Cali
fornia Fruit Union. This was only part
tally true. Mr.. Goodsell auctions fruit for
various shippers-the w. r. Strong Com
pany and Gregory Bros. Company of this
city, Earl Bros, A. T. Hatch, G. d. Kel-
logg and other consignors
Mr.. Goodse1 returned to this city yes
terday from a visit to Sutter and Yuba
counties where he inspected many orch
ards and interviewed a large number
of fruit-growers. He exhibited to a
RECoRD-UNIoN reporter a letter which
had Just received from his house in New
York concerning the fruit prospects
throughout the East
Just before Mr.. GoOdsell left the East
he sent out letters of inquiry to agents in
in the various fruit-growing sections and
the responses thereto were received dur
ing his absence. A summary of these
constituted portion of the letter which
he received yesterday, and is the first
authentic report yet received concerning
the fruit prospects of the East.
INiCl uSlLS VI II6 4-lII lIlSJ., NJ NTOOu-
sells correspondent writes that more or
less damage has been done to fruit
throughout the East by reason of a recent
cold wave. In one eapple-growing section
along the Hudson River ice was formed
to thickness of two inches. The letter
concludes:
Il am under the impression, from what
l can learn, that there will be about
one-half fruit crop in the East
This" said Mr.. Goodsell ''is a very
important piece of news to California
fruit-growers. A half-crop in the East
means greatly increased demand upon
the growers and shippers in this State.
Another thing I wish you would say
is this. In my interview published on
Wednesday the types made me say that
fruit sent by expedited trains this year
would reach Chicago in forty hours from
| the Missouri River. 1t should have read
twenty-four hours. This is a very i'm
portant item in the shipping of green
fruit. Under the new arrangement fruit
will reach Chicago in l24 hours from
Sacramento
A late and short crop of fruit in the
East will indeed prove of great benefit to
California growers and shippers, for the
fruit crop here, while it may be LIGHT
compared to what was expected in conse-
quence of the increased orchard acreage.

what came near proving to be very
bad accident occurred last evening on
the road between Woodfords and Nor

have been spending their vacation in and
about Portland, hired a team last eve
ming to drive in the suburbs. At Wood
fords their horses became frightened at
an electric car and ran away. Mr..
Franklin Simonton had the reins and in
his eagerness to check the animals he
stood up in the carriage and as it struck
stone it gave lurch, sending the dri-
yer headlong from the carriage. He
struck on his head and it was miracu-
lous that he wasn't killed. His face was
badly scratched by the gravel but other
wise he was all right and pursued the
team, which his brother succeeded in
