RALsroN AND EUGENE KELLY.

The story that Capt. j. @. Ainsworth
who was less than one-balf owner in
the concern) had sunk three millions at
Redondo Beach, as stated by the
Examiner, will be to most OF our read
ers what our esteemed friend, the
mikado OF Japan, would term source
of innocent merriment." The whole
concern, wharf, railroad, hotel and all,
cost less than two millione, of which
Captain Ainsworth and r. r. Thompson
contributed about 36 per cent each.
The other % per cent was held between
Capt. George J. Ainsworth and some
local capitalists who were among the
original promoters of the scheme which
fell through in 1888, before either of the
Oregon steamboat millionaires had
thought of touching any such invest
ment.
The Examiner came far from getting
things right in its account of Capt. J. @.
Ainsworth's dealings with W. @. Raj
ston, when it stated that Eugene Kelly
dissolved partnership with Raleton be-
cause he had loaned Ainswo-th $50, 900
without collateral. Eugene Kelly was
never partner OF Mr.. Ralston, but his
partner was Mr.. J. A. Donahoe. Rail
ston was assured by Ainsworth that he
would send him new mortgage on the

what do YOU regard as the best
fruits to plant?''
I'm q general way l would recommend
the planting OF such fruits and of such
varieties as NAV be sold In a fresh or
dried state or canned. In this way the
grower has always choice of methods
of disposing of his fruits. II he cannot
do better he can dry his fruit himself.
and this is always sure to pay il the man
understands his business. The dried
fruit makes big saving in the cost of
trans sportation. By drying you reduce
the weight of fruit about five to one. In
canning or shipping the weight is largely
increased in getting it to market. This
saving in freight by drying is one of the
reasons why it paye to grow prunes.
II have ten acres in prunes in Suisun
that have for three years past yielded
an average of four and one-hslf tons to
tine acre. the fruit selling at an average
price OF cents pound, or 800 ton.
You see that amounts to $3.50 an acre
yearly. Pruaes would pay at half that
figure. OF course not all prune orchard,
pay so we'll, but there is no reason why
others should not do as well as | have
done in the prune industry. There is
no secret about it. The prune does we'll

with sufficient moisture aRd proper cul
tivstion.
%~&
There is no monopoly OF fruit land
or fruit climate. Anybody can get good
fruit land by paying fair price. Lots
of it is now used for growing grain, and
it is not more than paving interest for
its owners on very moderate valuations.
There are number of good varieties
of the peach that pay well in California.
With good transportation facilities and
quick service the apricot is profitable

The Bartlett pear has always been a
good shipper and is in good demand
when dried. Cherries almost always

FRUIT GROWING PROFIT
AN OPINION FROM THE GREATEST
STATE HORTICULTURIST.
Relation OF Experiences by Man
Who Knows q Great Deal
About His Sub
ject.

The largest fruitgrower in Californis
is A. T. Hatch. of Suisun, Solano
county. At his home place there he has
about 800 acres of orchard, all his indi-
vidual property. In association with
others he has other large orchard inter
ests, which, if segregated, would
amount, in addition to the Suisun prop
erty, to about more than 1000 acres in
all.
Mr.. Hatch began life in California as
q wheat-grower ON farm of l60 acres
near Suisun. All he owns today is the
result of his abandonment of wheat
growing for the more remunerstive bus
iness of growing fruit.
4sx
By this time, or before, other men had
engaged Mr.. Hatch in fruitgrowing en-
terprises as partners, being desirous of
getting the benefit of his knowledge and
good judgment. He is essentially prac-
tical, and has never wasted time or en-
ergy in visionary enterprises; and yet
he found it worth while to experiment
with the almond, OF which he originated
and cultivated experimentally ae many
as one hundred different varieties.
From these he selected number which
he regarded as superior to any OF the
standard sorts, and he has planted some
thing like l., 100 acres in almonds alone
in connection with his partnership en-
terprises as well as in his Suisun Or
chards. He regards the almond as one
OF the most profitable trees that con be
grown in California.
Prosperity has not hurt Mr.. Hatch.
He is one of the most unassuming of
men. and yet one of the most sturdy
and independent. While too busy to
answer the many letters of inquiry he
receives, he is always willing to give de-
sired information 10 those who person-
ally seek him out and find him tempo
rSrily disengaged. A Bulletin reporter
found him at the Palace hotel the other
day and took advantage OF the oppor-
tunity to CLEAN some facts and opinions
or the general benefit.
"Does fruitorowing still pay ?" was
the first question asked.
"Yes," said the man of many orch
ards, lit does. And yet this was q COM
paratively poor year. The fruit did not
bring good prices in the east, and
the railroad service was miserably slow.
The fruit trains were slower than the
year before. We complain less about the
freight rates than about the time con
sumed in hauling fruits to market. The
delays were outrageous.
with good, quick train service and
fair prices by honest open suction sales
in the east, there is profit for the fruit
grower even at present railroad rates.
don't, however, look for much i'm
provement in the railroad service until
we get an Opposition line. such as they
have in Southern California. They get

THE WESTERN ROADS.
A MOVE TO REVIVE THE TRANS

The Union Pacific Again Accused of Out

Little Rats War in
Prospect.

CHICAGO, Aug. 3.-The plan which
was evolved from the strike to organize
oil the western roads in one association,
was given an impetus today by propo.
eition from the Southern Pacific to re-
vive the old TranscontinentalP Passenger
association.
The Union Pacific which three months
ago was accused of demoralizing the
Pacific coast passenger trade, is again
charged with the same thing. Rates
from San Francisco, San Diego end Los
Angeles to Chicago and New York are
being freely cut and no confirmation re-
ceived here has shown that any other
lines have made any reductions. The
competitors of the Union Pacific have
taken no steps to meet the reductions it
has put in, which are about $3.50 to
New York and $3.50 to Chicsgo, but
will probably do so in q very short time.
There is very small passenger business
coming out of California now and the
lines can have a lively little row and
reduce the rates without hurting any
body to any extent.
