PLACER'S GROWTH.
II Is the Result of Legitimate DeveI-
ODment

Opnent.
Placer County's aspirations for greatness,
like Banquo's ghost. will not down.
Every man from Placer who was inter-
viewed at the fair was willing to Ego broke"
on the following general propositions:
That Placer. in the production of fruits for
profit, is without rival in the State; that
oranges, lemons. olives and all ether semi
tropical fruits can be produced in their
highest excellence; that small fruits, straw
berries. blackberrles and raspberrIes ripen
and are sold at high prices before fruit of
other less favored regions can be placed
upon the market; that water for irrigation
Is amply abundant; that transportation
facilities are not equaled by other sections:
that there are the best granite quarries in
the State, and one of the largest potteries
(LincolDl in the entire Union.
Placer has something particular TO say
about peaches. These have been grown in
Placer County to some extent for at least
twenty-five years. and during that period
there has never been failure of the crop
nor season when it has not been profita-
bic one to the grower who has managed his
orchard with Intelligence. The natural
home of the peach seems to be In the Sierra
foothills, where drainage is perfect and irri-
CATION is practiced, and these are the two
conditions that make tina crop a certainty
every year. Trees come into profitable
bearing at three years OF age. and soon
after into full bearing, which can be con-
tinued for an indefnits period. as there are
examples of trees in this county that have
constantly borne fruit for twenty years.
Something must be said, in this connec-
ton. about the price of Placer County land.
1t so happens that all of the fruit lands of
the county are within ten miles of the rail-
road. and this contributes TO regulate
values. At points distant from six to ten

was going on until the time came for
George and Iona MARITIME to give an ex-
hibition on what is termed the Spanish
revolving ladder. AS Mr.. Devine watched
this performance he measured with his eve
the sweep the ladder would make when 1t
revolved, and concluded that the end would
come too close to him to be pleasant. He
arose. intending TO retire. and Just as he did
the ladder, with the man at one end and
the woman at the other, swung OF the CEN

THE THERMAL BELT.
It Is a Mere Question of Suitable
Elevation,


The explanation is very simple. In fat
or bottom lands. where the soil is wet and
the air more or less humid, frosts are more
deadly in their effect upon trees in blossom
or early leaf, or vegetation, than the ordIn-
airy white or dry frosts. Besides, 1t is a
well-known fact that marshy or even low
lands, in particular latitude where frosts
occur, will have great deal more than will
be found uDon the adjoining and more ele-
waited hillsdes. In the evening. it may be
observed, when passing through an undu-
lsting county, that the air grows perceDtibly
cooler when going from the Hill into the
valley and again warmer as one leaves the
valley for the hillside. AS the sun sinks
the air grows cold. and as the cold air Is
the heavier it gravitates down the hillsides
into the valleys, and the warmer air rises.
The cold air generates frost and the warm
air prevents it.
This is the open secret of the thermal
belt, as il exists in California 1t Is found
at a particular altitude and locality. 1t is
limited in extent, compared with the whole
State, although comprising many tens of
thousands Of acres. 1t is not frostless re-
giOn, and it is absurd to say So; for it is
almost impossible 10 fad frostless region,
