NOE VALLEY SPEAKS.
Suburban Residents Clamoring for
Fire Protection.

Residents of Noe Valley think the
present time is suspicious for securing
the needed fire protection so often prom
ised their district by the city authorities.
On several occasions delegations of tax
payers Of the vicinity have visited the Su-
pervisors and Fire Department officials
and called attention to the entire lack of
fire facilities.
Only a month ago the authorities prom
ised that an engine company and ad-
ditional hydrants would be granted, but
the citizens have often received the same
promises. which during the past three
years have been frequently made and
never kept
Now that a general agitation is being
carried on by the unprotected citizens of
other resident districts the Noe Valley
property-owners again intend to make
their needs apparent to the Board OF Su-
pervisors and the Fire Department.
A Dumb Der of property-owners yesterday
discussed the unprotected and perll0uS
condition of the district at meeting at
Twenty-fourth and Castro streets, and de-
cided 10 send Il. F. McGarvie, w. g. Me-
Pherson and George T. Van Denmark IS a
committee to visit the Supervisors Fire
Committee the coming week and make a
demand for the protection which should
be accorded the residents of Noe Valley
The lack of hydrants was also mentioned
in the territory west of Castro street,
which has been compactly built upon dur
ing the last four years. Hydrants are un-
known, while east of Castro street they
were declared o be few and far between.
AS for fire facilities there was said to be
no fire or chemical engine which could do
duty. the nearest being at Twenty-sixth
and Valencia streets. Between Fourteenth
and Thirtieth and from Sanchez street to
the Corbett road the district is entirely al
the mercy of the fire fiend. Alarm boxes
are also scarce, two being the number, one
at Eighteenth and the other at Twenty
fourth ana Castro streets.

ADJUSTMENTS.
Reopening of the National With a
Powerful MeIodrama.

FOWCTIul nGIOuI diids
The National Theater at the corner Of
Jones and Eddy streets was reopened last
evening Ill the presence OF an immense
audience by the New York Stock Com
pany with a fye-act melodrama called
Falsely Accused" The piece has a
familiar tone and has been seen here be-
lore under a new name and different
conditions. As presented last night,
there is much fresh business and
the people in the cast discharged
their different assignments IN a way that
entities them to credit. The story turns on
the socialstic element. Walter Lee Nor
timer Snow is an artist who has married
Kate DENLY (May Nalnary), and is living
IN poverty. Her brother. John Denoy
(Walter M. Hodges, is averse to her hus-
band. and with Phillip Radley (Al HalieO,
a rejected sutton of Hates. seeks his ruin.
The socialist element is represented by
Villa IN Mcguire Drank Cleaves). who
wants to enlist Lee in the. society, ana
offers him money TO draw plans Tor an eX-
plosiVe machine, which he refuses. Ma
gulre. who has suffered at DenDys nandS,
meets his Oppressor at Lees humble lodg-
lngs and kills him. Lee Is falsely accused
OF the murder, and Radley takes the occa-
sion to swear the artists life away ID the
nope of getting possession of his old love,
the widow. These are the main features
OF the drama. 1t was well played through
out. Snow is a light, flexible actor, who
gives great expression to his lines. Miss
Nannary also reads well and has a
good stage department. The comedy is
furnished by Titus Knott, baliff person
ated by Andrew WaldrOn, who has a
Stokwellian style about him, and sings
capital song. The explosion that destroys
the prison where Lee is confined is good
effect, and has that dynamite interest of
which the papers are full at present. The
theater boasts a good orchestra. and the
numbers performed are full OF incidental
effects that take we'll with the audience.
w. R. Daily and Waldron are the propri-
etors Of the company, and the first-named
assists Mr.. Burns in the management of
the house. His hand is seen everywhere.

HIGHBINDERs DESPERATE.
A Row on Sullivan Alley That Nearly
Ended i'm BIoodshed,

There was highlander row at an early
hour yesterday morning in Sullivan alley.
Chinatown, which nearly ended in blood
shed. Several Chinese were playing al
dominoes in one of the resorts in the alley
when three bighbinders entered and took
part in the game.
One of them was charged with cheating
and a quarrel ensued. They all adjourned
to the alley, when one of the highDinders
pulled pistol, but before he could COM

by the other Chinese and he had to flee for

his life. He fought his way through the
crowd aided by his companions and was
pursued till he disappeared in the dark
ness. The police made their appearance,
but not till after the highbinders had made
their escape a diligent search was kept
up for some time for the man with the re-
volver, but without success.
The highbnders in Chinatown we're
never SO hard pushed for coin as they are
at present, and as a consequence theyare
becoming desperate. Three of them, who
were arrested last week by Sergeant Price
and his squad for vagrancy, had pawDed
everything belonging to them and had not
a cent in their possession.

For THE FLORIDA AGRICULTURIsT.
Choice Small Fruits.

During the winter months we have
time to calculate our profits and loss, and
to find out what crops are paying, which
ones are doing SO poorly as to warrant a
discontinuance of them, and which ones
will pay for more care bestowed upon
them. In raising small fruits for mar
ket always make the practice of irving
one or more of the novelties, or new va
rieties, to find out for myself what they
are worth. This little experimental
farm is conducted along with the other
work, and it often yields me considerable
study and profit. When new fruit in
this garden has successfully passed the
test it is transferred to the main garden,
and cultivated us a crop for money. In
this way always heed the recommends
ton of other growers, but never accept
their words as conclusive proof that it
would pay me to grow the same fruits.
On the other hand, it is not good policy TO
avoid all new fruits until they have be-
come established as old reliables. Then
everybody is growing them, and great
deal of money may have been missed by
not raising them when they were scarce
1t is the first successful man that makes
the money. G. H. p.

KNOWLEDGE NEEDED.

Mr.. A. S. Collins, writing in the Times
Union, very wisely says that the study
of soils is Of more importance than many
suppose. Florida offers an inviting field
for such study. We contend that her
possibilities are without parallel. But
to develope them the various scientific
lessons taught by the progressive systems
as practised by Europe and Asia for
many centuries, as we'll as progressive
American modes, must be resorted to.
The possibilities of agriculture are in
the manure heap. We must know it's
uses We must know what to give each
plant-let it be corn, cotton, orange trees
or the commonest plant that is cultivated
and how to give it,
A lack of this knowledge is costing the
agriculturist many millions.
Acres are cultivated whose yield scarce

Secretary Morton says that there are in
the United States more than 100000
farms upon which dwell more than 3d.
600, 200 people who furnish more than "A
per cent. of the value of exports of this
country. The Department is, therefore,

REDUCE SHIPMENTS.

With the present low price of oranges
there remains but one thing for the
growers to do-suspend shipments, or at
least reduce them very materially. Of
course the fear Of freeze is what causes
most growers to rush their fruit into
market, acting on the principle that it
is better to get something for the fruit
than to take the chances of it's freezing
and getting nothing. This may be
good policy, but we doubt it. Of course
if the fruit was bringing anything like
a fair price, we would advise continued
shipments rather than take the chances
of losing it, but when the price reaches
an improbable point it might better re-
main on the trees dead loss than be
picked, packed and shipped with the
prospect of getting only expenses.
The following item from the Grocery
World, gives fair idea of the condition
of the orange market:
For the first time in the experience Of
fruit dealers oranges, are cheaper than
apples. At least at no time during the
past fifteen years have oranges sold as
low as apples. A barrel of apples is
worth more money to-day than a barrel
of oranges, and three times as many APP
Piles can be sold with this discrepancy in
price existing. The fallacy of orange
growers and shippers that scarcity of
apples materially advances the prices or
value Of the orange, is more clearly dem
onstrated this year than ever. A man
who calls for barrel Of apples will not
accept similar quantity of oranges at
the same price and very rarely can the
orange be placed as substitute, cheap
as it may appear. Briefly the orange is
luxury, and as such neglected. while
the apple can be utilized in so many va
rious ways, as to be considered almost
necessity. With these before us care
full observer must be impressed with the
belief that in future the apple orchard

yards ale failing because the owners are

says the knowing ones. We must be told
how and what to feed.
Tell us this in your widely circulated
paper. Let every volume have something
to say as to what the orange tree, the
grape, the pear, cotton, corn, and pota-
toes need; how much potash, nitrogen and
phosphoric acid; and how combined.

small and insignificant, but it has been

every age yet to come:

CAUSE FOR COMPLAINT.

The orange industry of Florida is what
keeps the Florida railroads alive-with
this industry dead the railroads would
have to stop opera tions.
Now the AGRICULTURIsT has never
been disposed to keep up continual
kick against transportation rates, we
have contended that we needed better
service more than we needed better rates.
But at the same time we do not think
the transportation companies are giving
our orange growers fair show in refer
ence to rates
A convention of orange growers held at
Los Angeles, CAL, last June, appointed
a committee to look into the matter of
freights on oranges both from California
and Florida to certain points. This COM
mittee found that the rates from Cali
fornia were greatly less than from Flor
ida in proportion to distance. Com
menting on this the California Fruit
Grower says, if Californians have just
cause of complaint against the railroads,
the Floridians have much stronger
case.
We give below some of the rates from
Florida points to different sections of the
West, and also the rate from San Jose.

A SLIGHT REDUCTION.

The Ways and Means Committee having
completed their labors on the tariff
bill which will be submitted to the next
Congress, and probably become a law
or at least the chances are that the bill
will be passed with some material amend
ments.
Florida orange growers had hoped
against hope that they might be given a
slight increase in the tariff on their
product-others were not SO hopeful, but
they thought perhaps, as the orange
was luxury, that the present duty on
the fruit might be maintained. They
were all doomed to disappointment.
The Ways and Means Committee made
d pretty general reduction all round and
the Florida orange growers will have to
take their medicine with the balance Of
the sufferers.
The duty on oranges and lemons pro-
vided for in the Wilson bill is ten cents
per cubic foot for the packed fruit On
oranges in bulk the duty is placed at
$3.50 per 900. An ad valorem duty of
thirty per cent. is imposed on the boxes
or packages.
The old tariff was twenty-five cents
per box on boxes Of two and half cubic
feet capacity, so that there is no reduc-
tion on the packed fruit, and nearly all
the imported fruit is packed. On oran-
ges in bulk the present tariff is so per
thousand, making the reduction by the
proposed bill ten cents per thousand.
There is a material reduction on leaf
tobacco for cigar wrappers that we fear
will materially effect another Florida
product. The proposed law reduces the
tariff on leaf tobacco from So per pound
to 1925
The sugar tariff is also something now
interesting the people Of the State. The
Wilson bill proposes to extinguish the
present bounty of two cents per pound
on sugar one quarter Of cent each year
for eight years until it ceases to exist.
All sugar imported above No. Is duty
standard) is taxed one fourth of a cent
per pound.
