FRUIT AUCTIONS.
The Proposed Compromise as to the
New York Market.

The Proposed Compromise as TO tne
New York Market.
There will be meeting at 1:30 P. N. to-
day of the California Fruit-Growers' and
Shippers Association, at the Orangeyale
office to consider matters in connection
with the proposed compromise with the
National Fruit Association relative TO
alternate union auctions in New York.
In this connection the following letter
from Manager Fairbanks OF the National
Association. i'll response to that OF Presi-
dent Weinstock of the California Asso-
citation published yesterday, will be of
interest:
SACRAMENTO. July 10Th.
II. Weinstock, President CttJorntd
Fruit. Gr0WerS' and Shippers ASS0ciG-
ton, City-DEAR SIR: Your favor OF the
18th instant has been received, in which
you say: Various suggestions in the
nature of compromise have been made
at different times by yourselves and
others, all Of which, however, have, after
discussion, proven impracticable. The
following plan in the nature OF fair and
equitable compromise has suSgesten
itself, and we beg herewith to submit 1t
for your consideration; should you be
agreeable to 1t it will be recommended
for adoption to our association, which
viii meet at this office, Tuesday, j uly
10th, at I:30 p. NJ. The plan is as follows"
In reply we will say that you are corr
rect in your statement that we have IN
the past made efforts 60 Drlng about
unity of action, so far as having but one
auction room in the city OF Now York Is
concerned.
No doubt you remember that when the
National Fruit Association made q COM
promise proposition that sales alternate
weekly on the Erie and West Shore docks
that you personally expressed your ap-
proval OF the plan, and went so far as to
say that you would withhold your busl-
ness from the road not agreeing to the
proposition.
Such an expression coming from the
President of the California E'ruit-Grow
ers' and Shippers Association surely
seemed guarantee that the question OF Il
single auction-rOom had been settled, and
that one auction would be the rule there
after; but, much to our surprise and re-
gret we were informed by you, after the
powers that are" had given the proposi-
ton consideration, that the plan was i'm
practicable.
Therefore, we would most respectfully
suggest, inasmuch as the suggestion
emauates from you, that it would be
proper for your board to pass upon the
suggestion you make at its meeting OF
the 10th inst, and if they considered the
plan feasible and it receives their in
dorsement, it would thens be my duty to
submit the plan, as indorsed by your
board, to the proper officials OF our or
ganiZation.
Until then, | remain, very truly yours.
Ii. y. FAIRBANK,
Manager National Fruit Association.

EDS. RECoRD-UNIoN In your Satur-
davis issue ] noticed an article by r. ID.
Stephens in regard to the fruit-growers'
meeting held at the American River Hall
the past week. In said article he claims
that those voting in favor of certain reso-
lutions were compelled TO do SO by being
under financial obligations TO one Of the
principal shipping firms in the State,
namely, the Earl Fruit Company.
Now. | can say this: In justice to the
Earl Fruit Company. as far as my knowl-
edge goes, they solicited no one to vote
either one way or the other
Noone denies Mr.. Stephens the right
to manage his own business, but he
should coufine himself there, and not eX-
pose his brother fruit-growers' financial
condition to the world.
If the Fruitgrowars' and Shippers AS
sociation has not proven an entire sue
cess, it has shown clearly what can be
done by the present system. and by an
other season the evils that now exist can
be rectiied.
Colonel Weinstock deserves the high
est praise for his untiring efforts in be-
half of the fruit-growers of this State,
and undoubtedly his efforts are appre-
ciated by a majority of them.

ther hearing before Superior Judge
Rinkson yesterday.

ling Home, acting under the instruction
of the court. made further inquiries into
the qualifications of Warner and his
wife to properly care for their children,
and she made her report yesterday.
From her testimony and that Of one or

vinced that the children are better off at
present in the Founding Home than
they would be with their parents, and re-
fused to allow the latter to take them
from the institution. He gave Warner

An Chu, who sells tickets at the
Chinese theater, has disappeared and
there is mourning in the hearts of the
proprietors, as about $50 of the receipts
has disappeared with him.
On Friday night, while be was at the
ticket office. he announced that he wished
to leave for few minutes. and he placed
a substitute in the office, giving him
dollar or two with which tC make change
and leaving with him a locked TN box
containing the receipts. AS be did not
return the box was broken open and was
found to contain only 81 in silver and a
lot OF broken glass. 1t was ascertained
that the WHY Chu had taken the Marys-
Vile train and parties connected with
the theater have gone after him. The
probability is, therefore, that if over
taken he will either give up the money
or there will be some shooting.

Young Morlath says that he and some

was because the Mongolian became an

S166,66O

The premises being considered, your
petitioner prays that your honorable
body will equalize said assessment by re-
ducing the value OF said property from
sum of 1922, 200 to the sum of S466, $50.
said last named sum being, as your petit
toner is informed and believes. the value
of the same if taken in payment of just
debt due from a solvent debtor.
Mr.. Ryan said that under the Constitu-
ton the railroad, rails and roadbed being
in more than one county, is under the
State Board OF Equalization, as far as
assessments are concerned. The COM
pany has tracks in nineteen counties.
Assessor Berkey. Mr.. Ryan said. did
not have perfect knowledge of the area
of ground covered by the company's
property and had assessed it at $40, 900 in
stead of $50 600. The latter amount, said
Mr.. Ryan, covers the largest assessment
ever made of the ground.
Assessor Berkey asked Mr.. Ryan if the
real estate had not been improved con-
stantly.
Mr.. Ryan replied that 1t has been i'm
proved, but by doing so the area WAS de-
creased. The laying of more tracks de-
creased the area, and the Assessor did
not have so much ground to assess.
Berkey said that without an actual sur
vey of the entire ground being made it
would be impossible to ascertain the full
extent ofthe area. Butimprovements have
been made, nevertheless. When streets
were raised in this city property values
increased and were assessed accordingly.
The railroad company should be treated
as individuals are treated concerning as
sessments on their property.
Mr.. Ryan replied that Berkey had sent
to him for surveys of the company's s
ground, and that the request was for
warded to Sacramento. The matter was
nuQriOnkQf hnt fanIf of Mr.
Ryan's. The filling in of the company's
property was done for the purpose OF
making grades.
Mr.. Ryan then read an extract from q
San Francisco paper which accused the
company OF having played sharp trick
on the Assessor by having 800 new cars
built outside of Sacramento County and
then using them within the county after
ward. Mr.. Ryan said the writer of the
article was informed by ". @. Curtis. in
the Southern Pacific Company's build
ing in San Francisco that the cars were
not an addition TO those already in use,
but TO take the places of those worn out
and smashed in wrecks.
AS regards the company's improve
ments, Mr.. Ryan said Sl9O,000 would
about cover their value. The majority of
the railroad buildings in this city were
great barns. and more or less shells. 4
great deal of the personal property is DID,
Ii appraised in payment of q just debt,
the creditor would take the money to
which amount the company wanted the
assessment reduced In preference TO the
property. Railroads, he said. feel busi-
ness depression as much as individuals,
and sometimes more. There is less per-
sonal property Oh hand now than for
merly.

HeNRY IRYING's version of Goetbe's
Faust with MIR, Jno. Griffith as Mephisto
IS the announcement for Monday night
at the opera house. The text of Mr..
Irving's version of Goethe's majestic
drama elings closer TO the great poets
masterwork than that of any other YER
sion now extant, and Mr.. Griffith makes
Mephisto spirit "who INCREASINGLY
denies" He makes him an intellectual
devil whose business is to present and
not present all that which is opposite
to good. Grifith's MephistO does not
tempt Faust directly and brutally, but
rather epsnares him by a strain Of Tea-
sonings, which the latter cannot answer
because they are but reflections of his
own doubts and fears. Retaining Me-
phisto's cunning, his searching ridi-
cule and savage cYnicism,he echoes all
the reckless unbelief of the human
race, their rebeliOus impul ses, their
indulgences and ready negation of viz
tue, love and faith, always willing The
bad. but always thereby working the
good in spite of himself The produc-
ton will be magnifcently staged, both
scenlcally and electrically, particularly
in the revels on the Broken, which is
said to be the finest scene of the kind
staged
