GREAT BOON FOR THE SOUTH.
Shipments This Year Are Two Months
Earlier Than Usual.
FALSE REPORTS OF ROT CIRCULATED.
Cooperative Exchanges Control -Four.
Fifths Of the Crop, Which Is Esti.
mated at 100000 Boxes.

Los ANGELES, Jan. 25.-The recent killing
frost in Florida has left the Southern Cali
fornia orange grower jubilant, not that he
reioices over the misfortune of his brother
orchardist in Florida, but because the
freeze has created a demand for Southern
California oranges unprecedented so early
in the season. Usually there is not much
demand for Southern California oranges
before the first of March, by which time
the Florida crop is cleaned up. This year,
however, the demand began two months
earlier than usual on account of the Florida
freeze. Orders are pouring in much faster
than they can be filed, as the fruit is slow
in ripenIng. The orchards are CAREFUL
gone over and the ripe fruit culled and put
aboard the cars as rapidly as the weather
and other conditions will permit. The re-
cent heavy rains almost entirely sus-
pended shipments, as the ground was too
soaked to allow teams to go into the orch
ards. But the delay was all the better for
the fruit, as it gave more time to ripen.
Orange picking has been resumed all over
Southern California within the past few
days and many carloads of fruit will be
moving by the end of the week. Reports
of rot, if any have got abroad, seem to have
been inspired by commission men and
owners of refrigerating cars, who hoped to
profit by soaring growers to sell hastily
and ship on ice. Reliable reports from all
districts say the crop was never in better
condition, none of the fruit being ripe
enough to be injured by the late rain. Not
particle of frost has yet occurred in the
citrus belt and it is now regarded too late
for danger from that source.
The cooperative fruit exchanges claim
to have control of four-ffths of the crop,
which is estimated at 5000 to 1000 carloads
or about 100000 boxes. The exchanges
established prices early in January, which
have not been changed to date. The quo
tations furnished are: 81 so to 50 Is per box
for navels, according to quality, and 81 20
to 81 70 for seedlings, f. O. b.

HELD UP THE 4GENT.
Tsco Men With Shotguns Make a Haul at
WdLnsft Creek.


WALNUT CREEK, Jan. 25.-This evening
about 8 o'clock two masked men, armed
with sawed-off shotguns, held up the rail
road agent at this place as he was closing
up his office preparatory to going to town
for his mail. AT the points of their guns
they compelled him to return to the Office,
and made him open the safe and give up
all the money it contained belonging to
the railroad company. The agent does not
know the exact amount, but thinks it was
about $50. The robbers threatened that if
he made any noise they would blow his
brains out. They compelled him to stay in
the Office while they made their escape,
and they had been gone about ten minutes
before he gave the alarm. The whole
town is excited and messengers have been
sent out in all directions to look for the
robbers. The two men had been hanging
around town for the last two days. One is
a short man and the other tall. They were
both poorly dressed, but it is thought that
this garb was assumen for purposes of
deception.

Still Chief ArtIsur Is Opposed to Strikes

CINCINNATI, Ohio, Jan. 25.-P. NJ. Arthur,
chief of the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers, was here to-day en- route to San
Francisco to settle difficulties on the
Southern Pacific. Referring to the street
railway strike in Brooklyn, he said:
81 think it is i'll advised. Strikes are bad
things, and 1 think strike particularly
i'll advised which throws so many out of
work when there are SO many idle men in
the country. How can they hope to win
when there are a dozen men TO take the
place every man who goes out? This is
bad time to strike. l believe that the
railroad companies were wrong when they
refused to arbitrate with their men.
~ recognize the perfect right of capital
to an adequate return upon its invest
ments, and the railroad corporations have
right to a reasonable compensation for
their enterprise and outlay: but, on the
other hand, the employees have right to
reasonable compensation for their work.
do not believe that capital has right to
make such an outlay that it cannot meet
its obligations except by taking it from
their wage-earners. Judge Gaynor, as I
understand it, has required the Brooklyn
railroads to run their roads or show good
and sufficient cause why they cannot.
1 think it wrong if the court should re-
yoke their charters if the roads can show
that they have been detained by forceful
and.unlawful means. But do blame the
corporations for refusing to treat in the
matter. That should have been done in
the first place.
