In 1872 the exports of prunes from
California amounted to nothing, So
rapidly has the industry grown since
that date that last year the exports OF
this fruit from California reached 30,-
600. 600 pounds. Numerous orchards are
coming into bearing year by year, and
still more are being planted. This as
regards California. In conversation with
fruitmen from Oregon we find that or
chardists in certain sections OF that State
have caught the fever and are planting
prune trees by tens of thousands. So
with Idaho horticulturists. Right and
left these same fruit trees are being set
out, and as in all these localities named
this fruit thrives and yields abundantly,
one can imagine the condition Of this
industry in coming years Here is some
thing for planters Of new orchards to
consider.
Another attempt may yet be made to
rescue the steam collier San Pedro, which
went ashore near Victoria nearly two
years ago. This time the Moran Bros.
Of Seattle have taken the matter in
charge, and if they find that it will be
worth while to try and save the San Pc
dro, they will make one final effort to do
s so. The Southern Pacific Railroad Com
pany, which Is the owner Of the San
Pedro, has, it is said, been in correspond
ence with the Moran Bros. for some time.
The company is anxious that the San
Pedro shall be saved. She cost nearly
$3.50, 1000, and it will be heavy loss TO
the company il she is not recovered.
However, the company does not care to
spend lot Of money in removing the
collier from her present quarters and
then find that she has been down 30
long as TO become absolutely worthless.
In order TO determine her value the
Southern Pacific has arranged with the
Moran Bros. to make personal inspec-
tion Of her.
