THE PIONEER MINE.
Pierre Humbert JI. of Boston the Pur-
chaser of Senator Fairs Half
Interest,

Pierre Humbert Jr. of Boston is the pur-
chaser of the Senator Fair interest in the
Pioneer mine in Placer County. The order
of sale was issued two weeks ago, as an
nounced in THE CALL at that time, but
yesterday copy of the contract was filed
in the Superior Court, announcing Mr..
Humbert as the purchaser.
The price to be paid by Mr.. Humbert for
the half interest is $4,000, instead of
$72,500, and the money has already been
deposited in the First National Bank of
this City.

Figs In TuIare County.


The fig is fruit not appreciated accord
ing to its merits. The tree grows readily
in California and stands abuse with the
greatest of patience; the timber is of ex-
cellent grain and will take on high pol
ish; the fruit is palatable either fresh,
dried, canned or in pickles, preserves,
glaces or marmalades. yet it has received
little or no attention in commercial way
and is generally passed by for home con-
sumption. 1t will thrive along fences, by
the roadside, in hog lots or around the
house.
In this valley, says the Tulare Register,
the fig will cure perfectly by simply spread
ing in the sun. There is not the ever
present danger of sourlng which confronts
the growers of the coast counties. BY dip
ping in hot water and sulphurlng its ap-
pearance is improved, but there is no en-.
hancement of itsquality. For home use it
needs no doctoring of any sort. No more is
there need for the average producer to put
ter away his time in preparing an imita-
ton of the Smyrna product, for plain
dried figs are good, wholesome and cheap.
Each house should have its fig trees, for
there is no waste. Not an animal on the
place but will eat the fruit readily.
AS pickles or preserves there is nothing
superior. Canned the fig is almost unsur-
passed. We must learn to use our own in
comparable fruits in the best way and all
the time before we can expect to carry the
gospel of better food to the benighted
bacon-eaters of regions where fruit does
not thrive.
AT the culture station near Tulare may
be seen dozens of varieties of figs that
many people in the valley never even
heard of. Each of these had a special use
in the countries whence it came. There
may be found varieties suited to almost
any locality-of all shapes, sizes and flavor
ranging in color from an ebony black to
an almost transparent white. They are
all good for some purpose, bur not all good
for single purpose.
In this valley we ought to and probably
can grow and handle this fruit to as near
perfection as any region does. We ought
to be building up great fig industry in
the finished product. We ought to use
them ourselves and put them upon the
market in half dozen different ways. 1t
is not necessary that the whole community
be planted in figs, either. A half dozen
trees on each tract would provide great
business for pioneer house, to put upon
the market product of which the com.
mercial world knows little or nothing.

tires, the latter State exempting farmers
who use wide tires from portion of their
road tax. Wide tires do not cut the roads,
but assist in packing the roadbed. They
also lessen the draught and permit OF
working where narrow tires could not be
used.
The beet districts around Watsonville are
mostly held in small tracts as homes, and
very little of the land there is for sale.
Whenever land does sell in that locality,
however, it is for from $3.50 to $400 an acre,
the latter figure holding on land within
easy distance of the sugar factory. Good
beet lands are regarded as the best kind of
an investment.
Oil is the cheapest substance to useon-
the farm just now as it saves wear of i'm
plements. Have several oilcans at conve-
nient points so as not to be compelled to
hunt for one. Neglect to use a cents worth
of oil may cause loss of several dollars.
Oil also saves labor by rendering the work
ing of the implements much easier.
The careful Argentine farmer can raise
from thirteen to fifteen bushels of wheat
an acre, and he can rent land for about 40
cents an acre. The cost of producing
wheat in that country in 1892 was about
13 cents bushel, according to the average

Water is fatal to all life when in excess

The Railroad Commissioners, though

A representative of Holbrook, Merrill
& Co. said: mo general reduction in rates

always waiting for complaints. Why
don't they go ahead and exercise the pre-
rogative granted them by the highest law
OF the State? 1t is clearly their duty to
regulate rates and fares over all lines in
the State. In my opinion local rates need

axe valley rates for example. On
freight of the first class the rate to Los
Angeles is 60 cents, while to Fresno, a
third of the distance, 6S cents is charged.
The company is hauling second class freight
to Fresno for 63 cents, while on the same
class to Los Angeles only 4SH cents is
charged. On third class Los Angeles gets
423 cents and Fresno 6S cents, while on
first class the haul to Los Angeles costs 81
cents and to Fresno 54 cents. The same
difference exists in all towns of the San
Joaquin Valley, notwithstanding the dis

Millions of dollars of overcharges have
