COTTON CITRUS FAIR.
Small Attendance Owing to the
Storm.
List of the Premiums Awarded to
charlottesville of Southern
Fruit Growers.
Special to THE MoRN1No CALL

Cotton, March 2l.-The citrus fair man.
ayers are bewailing the storm which began
Sunday. Traffic generally is 6emOraliZed
so that the people here cannot get away
ana prospective visitors are blocked in COM
Ing. Old residents say they never heard OF
such dOwnpour. Nothing but the creeks
seem to enjoy it. They are tearing along,
bankful, and knocking out railroad trestes.
loosening tracks and having lots of fun.
The result is that the fair receipts nave
dropped with a thud. The exhibit Is now
losing money daily.
Criticize as one may the smallness Of the
display and the jealousies that prevented
the show being real State fair. there is no
question shat this community deserves the
greatest credit for its enterprise In building
the new pavilion, in piling up products
from this immediate district. and in show
ing plenty of local enthusiasm.
The judges announced the awards to-day
and the result is. as usual that there are a
number Of kickers, although the judges were
representative men of presumed anaIifca-
lions in their special lines. The awards
were as follows:
Best county exhibit 80 San Bernardlno

third. 500.
Best display of any locality-Ontario first

Best olives-J. L. Rowland of Pomona.
Best oil-F. NJ. kimball of National City.
Largest number of orange vareties-E.
W. Holmes of Riverside.
The fair Is likely to run through the week.
A mass-meeting of orange-gtowers was
held to-day in the pavilion to discuss the
formation of an organization for the dis
tributiOn and marketing OF fruit There
were many speeches and much discord,
though all agreed that something must be
done to protect growers from ruinous
prices. Each man had a separate schema
to accomplish the end desired Dispatches
were read from New York showing recent
sales Of the best budded fruit for 80 cents
box. This will not net, the grower u cent
a box. The trouble seems in lack OF system
in marketing, or rather, in flooding the
markets at the wrong times. Possibly, the
auction system, after the fashion of the
California Fruit Union, may be tried, al
though nothing is likely to he done for this
years crop. of which about one-third has
already gone forward aud nearly all the bal
ance been contracted for.
The meeting adjourned to meet in the
Cotton Opera-hOuse on the 2Sth inst.

electrical contrvance which enables man
to sit down to an instrument in one place
and transmit over wire a written message
IN his own handwriting to some one many
miles distant. In sending the message the
operator uses an ordinary lead pencil, near
the point of which you see two silk ends
are fastened at right angles to each other
These ends connect with the instrument and
following the motion Of the pencil the opera
tor writes, regulates its movements and
pen reprOduces the messages at the re-
ceiving station In fac-simile of his hand
writing Drawings of persons and things
can also be sent by the telautograpb, and
1t can transmit straight away a message
about 800 miles, Every man having an In
strument can be his own operator.

eminent to pay cash, as contemplated in the
agreement originally drawn up with the In
dians. This m notification of the treaty was
not accepted by the Indians, but will be con-
sldered by their legislative body, the Cher

Monday. The early opening of the strip

is rnmored that they may amount to ten or
twelve millions. The st. Paul and North

CLOSE TO PIRACY.
That Is What the Alexander's Cruise
VIII Amount To.

WASHINGTON, March 21.-No information
mas been received at the State Department
regarding the sailing Of the steamer Alex
ander for the Boring Sea sealing ground.
AS reported from San Francisco the state
ment is; 1T Is believed that the Alexander
VIII trade liquor for skins along the shores
Of Boring Sea. and that before the patrol
fleet starts north she will make dash for
the rookeres. oyerpower the small guard
on the islands and then run for the south
with full cargo Of skins"
If true, this means that the vessel will
engage in scheme OF robbery on the high
seas. which comes dangerously near to what
International law defines as piracy and
Furnishes with death. There is reluctance
on the part of the State Department
officials. therefore, to believe the story as
given.
