Fresno's Side Of the Case About
Figs.
The Supreme Court-Advertising How
to Make Good Times-The
Winter Fair.

Los Angeles Times: The proposition
frequently advanced for the restoration
of good times in California by a unani-
nous use on the part of the people OF
California products, and these products
only, is the perfection of wisdom. Let
us all buy California shoes, California
flour, California condensed milk. Cali
fornia sugar, California raisins, California
canned goods, California cigars, Califor-
mia blankets, California buggies, Calitor-
mia harness, California wines. California
plows, California clothing, California
products and manufactures only, and in
sist upon having them and no other, Of
right quality and at right prices, and
flush times Will come strongly and
quickly. In this beautiful and prolific
empire of the Pacific we are not beholden
to any other portion of the world for any
of the necessaries of life and for but few
of the luXuries. Let our people for
a while but try bit Of patriotism and
loyalty to the Golden State of the West,
and see how business will improve, how
the money market will loosen up and
how things will boom all along the line.
Men and brethren, stand in for Califor-
mia, and when You do so you are standing
in for Number One. The fields are lat,
as are the orchards, and the factories and
looms Of our own State are in position to
clothe you and your children. Let us
good times will come in spite of free
trade, gold standard or any Of the other
disturbing things the politicians talk
about.
Stockton Independent: Some people
imagine that the Supreme Court is tri-
bunal whose members have an easy time
in life. y report OF the work of that
court during the year ending June Both
Will not warrant the opinion. During
that period 6ll cases, lSS rehearings ana
y motions were filed. OF this number
and what remained over from last year.
7S3 cases, us rehearings and IIO motions
were disposed of. This gives an average
of more than three matters disposed OF
each day. When one considers the length
of a Supreme Court opinion, and the au-
thoritles cited therein, the great mass of
matter the Justices must read in briefs,
transcripts, petitions, motions and au-
thorities, he will see that the Justices
have not had much idle time on their
hands.
Cottonwood Register: If Shasta County
pays San Francisco 81 per square foot for
space at the Midwinter Fair, she will
have done enough. We do not propose
TO pay San Francisco for the privilege of
bringing our exhibits there. San Fran
cisco is dependent upon the counties of
the State TO make the fair a success, and if
her capitalists and business men don't
open their purse-strings it is their own
fault. The metropolis will be the main
and direct recipient of benefits; the coun-
try may be benefited indirect.
Red Bluff Ne1rS: From time to time
during the last quarter of a century the
papers have discussed the fig, as some
thing the culture of which should be
profitable in California. Efforts have
been made, and we believe successfully,
to introduce the choicest Asiatic varieties,
but we are not fully advised of the result
of the effort to produce a merchantable
article that can be sold at profit. The
Oroville Register quotes q resident of that
region as saying there is a handsome
profit in the white Adriatic fig, the secret
of success consisting in the proper hand
ling of them. The picking of figs by
hand will have to be abandoned for the
reason that it is too slow process. a
good picker cannot gather fruit enough
all day to more than come to s. 30 when
