dried and ready for market. The Oro-
vile mans advice is to let the figs drop
on the ground as is done with ordinary
black flgs. Then one man can pick up
the fallen fruit rapidly. Bare, hard,
smooth earth is the best for the fig to fall
upon, ana no straw or other substance
should be placed beneath the trees. He
has tried this plan and speaks adyisedly
He believes there is future Tor this fruit
greater than is dreamed OF by most Il =
producers. If any Of the readers of the
NerS have the white Adriatic they should
Try this plan OF gathering them, Ii the
fig industry can be made profitable it
ought to be here where the climate and
soil are so well adapted to the growth of
the trees and two crops are raised each
year.
Fresno ErpOSitOr: Mum bers of papers
throughout the State are asserting that
Fresno has organized and driven out her
Chinese. Fresno has done no such thing
contemplates no such action, nor will she
permit of any such violation of the
peace. Fresno found her streets crowded
with unemployed hungry white men. 1t
Iound IN some vineyards and one or two
packlng-houses a number of Chinese at
work. IL heard the uIurmurings OF the
unemployed whites against the Chinese.
It's business men took the matter in hand,
opened free labor bureau, fed the hun
CRY people and besought the vine and
fruit growers to employ them This
they promised to do, and many men have
oeen set to work and others will be given
employment from day to day. A few dis
soIute fellows stirred up mob to visit
certain ranches and drive away the Chi
nese employees. They did so, beating and
roDblng them meanwhile. The Sheriff
lnteriered, and this Infringement of the
law stopped, and if the guilty parties can
DE fOlnn tbpy will tar, nd
cuted. Fresno is in sympathy with the
worthy white people and Will do all it
can 10 help them, but it will not drive out
us Chinese nor permit anyone 10 DO so.
ihey are here under the law and are en-
titled to and viii receive every protection
lhat the peace officers, courts and q
healthy public sentiment can afford.
w henever the Government of the United
States gels ready and says they mnst go,
Iney Will leave Fresno, and not until that
uine, unless it be of their own accord. 1t
Will also see that white men are given the
preference iii the various avenues of la
Dor II they desire it.
Truckee RepuGAcGn: Two mon were
not long since discussing their local news
paper. one thought IL had too many adj
Vertlsements i'll it. The other replied:
In my opinion the advertisements are
tar from being the least valuable part Of
IL. look them over carefully and save at
least five times the cost of the paper each
week through the business advantages l
get from them" Said the other: II be-
HeVe you are right know that they pay
me well and rather think it is not good
Taste to find fault with the advertise
ments after ALL" Those men have the
right idea OF the matter. 1t pays any
man with family TO take a good local
paper for the sake of the advertisements
Il nothing more. And if business men
laIl to give people chance to read adver-
tsements i'll the local paper, they are
blind to their own interests, to say the
least OF 1t. You never trade with me''
said a business man TO certain gentle
man. ou have never invited me To
your place Of business, and l never go
where am not invited; might not be
welcome" was his reply.
