William A. Pinkerton OF detective fame,
is at the Palace hotel, San Francisco. In
an interview with Call reporter he de-
nounced in severe terms the reading of
so-called detective stories. Among other
things he said:
Had 1 son guilty OF such conduct
would horsewhip him without hesitation.
That's what think OF detective stories.
Another thing worth discussing now that
we are touching on such matters is the
impression that detectives 60 around with

there is nothing in it, A man may per-

tention, but as for assuming the disguises
credited to him, there is more fiction than

OUR FRUIT IN LONDON

The shipment of California fruits to
London by A. NJ. Bogie and d. S. Os-
born of Cortland, r. D. Anderson of San
Jose and A. B. Humphrey and
r. D. Stevens of Oakland has. ac-
cording to Associated Press dispatches
to The Herald, arrived IN good order.
Furthermore, its arrival caused consider
able excitement among the London fruit
dealers, and it IL sal that at the auction
when the sale of California fruit was an
nounced, there was rush for avail able
places. The best part of it all is that the
fruits all brought good prices. Excite
mont ran high and there were several dis
putes among bidders as to which one had
secured certal n cases.
That the prices at which the consign-
ment sold are very satisfactory to the
shippers is evident from the dispatch.
Pears packed by the National Fruit COM
pany of Sacramento sold at 25s, or about
$615 a box. At these figures there
should be a good profit in shipping fruits
to the English market.
However, if the business is to be en-
tered into and regular shipments made.
cvre must be taken not to have one ship
ment lap over with second. The London
market is peculiar one, and should the
market at any time be overstocked, prices
drop out of sight more quic ky than in an
American city. Fresh fruits have always
been 50 high in England that only the
wealthy are accustomed to their daily use.
It is for this reason that the market is
limited in its capacity to absorb larg e
shipments. 1t is a matter of congratula-
tion that the first attempt to place Cali
fornia fresh fruits in the London market
resulted favorably. 1t demonstrates the
keeping qualities of our fruits and also
proves that other good qualities are ap-
preciated. A promin ent fruit merchant
in an interview with the Associated Press
reporter, said: "This is the best fruit we
get in London 1t weighs more, and is
therefore better for the London market.
where fruit is sold by the pound. Deal
ers find no trouble in disposing Of their
purchases before night"
The persons who undertook this stroke
of enterprise should receive the hearty
thanks and support of every Californian.

POOR DECREPlT SAN FRANCISCO

If Los Angeles people will only build q
railway to Salt Lake City at once they
will knock out San Francisco as a metro

until Los Angeles can deprive it of its

Deep in the heart of the mountain,
Where the sun glints through the trees.
The air is filled with the birds refrain,
And the drowsy hum OF the bees
The brook murnurs over the stones,
On its journey to the sea,
And through the leaves the fresh breeze
moans.
As it gently sways the tree.
Sweet is the air with the perfume
Oflaurel and myriad flowers,
And beauteous ferns grow IN the gloom,
OF the cool and shady bowers.
From far down the canyon there comes
The plaintive note of he dove,
And in the thicket the partridge drums,
From the aide OF the mountain above.
Quietly, in the crystal pool
Floats the wary, speckled trout,
And the mountain squirrel saucy and cool,
From his nest in the tree looss out.
Here's where all Nature is fresh,
spot for the dreamer to muse,
She wear: her most beautiful dress.
A poetic soul to infuse.

The boycott is a two-edged sword that
often cuts both ways. Recently some

company refused to sell their goods to
