Santa Rosa has another live newspaper
called the Morning STAR issued by Felix G.
Head. At the head of the editorial column
the following poetical enuncia:ion of the
Stars position in the journalistic world
appears:
You may talk and you may boast
OF the papers on the coast,
But the Star of Santa Rosa takes the cake,
1t always will be civil,
But 1T fears not man nor divil,
And you will always find it wide awake.
Already the editor has found it incum-
bent on him to advertise that reward of
$40 viii be paid for information that will
lead to the arrest and conviction of any
person or persons caught stealing the Star.
Ii be did not run such a good paper no
advertisements of that kind would be
necessary.

W. A. Sheppard, formerly County Clerk OF
Fresno, tells of a novel means of providing
cheap fuel at Clovis. Clovis is town twelve
miles from Fresno that has grown up at the
terminus of the Hume OF the Pine Ridge Flume
and Irrigation Company which taps the lum-
Der regions of the Pine Ridge fifty miles dis
tant.
"On the completion of the 1ume they began
floating down lumber from Pine Ridge he
said, land built planing-mill and box factory.
This they ran with the refuse lumber and saw
dust Soon afterward q flourmill was built
about 100 yards from the box factory. These
were connected by a big wooden chute, and
now the engines of the flourmill are kept alive
by sawdust which is blown through the chute
from the box factory.
'This is the only really live part of Fresno
to-day" he continued. f'An Eastern firm is
going to build large furniture factory there.
The manager told me that because of the guam
tity and quality of yellow and sugar pine there
were at least twenty-five articles that could be
made there cheaper than in the East. Then,
too, when they begin to conduct electricity
from Kings River Clovis will be twelve miles
nearer the source OF the power than Fresno and
will have that much advantage"

AROUND THE CORRIDORS.

Captain A. J. Hutchison, one of the largest
orange-growers in the State is stopping at the
Lick House. He is much encouraged over the
outlook for California oranges in the East, and
Is confident that in the course OF time they will
be used almost exclusively-that is, that they
VIII be given the preference. In speaking last
night about the orange groves around Lindsey,
his home he said
Five years ago all that section of country
was nothing but vast wheatfeld To-day
can stand on my front porch and see 1900
acres OF young trees and all in flourishing
condition. The Lindsey Land Company first
put IN few trees as an experiment. A season
told US that oranges would thrive there as well
as In any section of California but first we
must have water. The company developed a
lot OF fine wells, and to-day there is not a
better watered section in all California.
1.-THE company divided the land into ten-acre
lots, put the trees out, and sold only to honest
enterprising settlers. In two years time the
trees on 1000 of the 1900 acres planted will
commence to bear, and then you will see
TIDAL wave of prosperity sweep over that entire
section OF country. Our oranges then have
decided advantage over those in extreme
Southern California in that they mature about
six weeks earlier. This of course gives us am
pie time to get them off to market and OF
course secure the highest possible price.
81 made small shipment East this year
that they might be compared with the Florida
oranges. The result was in every particular
satisfactory, and am told by the Eastern deal
ers that they will take all 1 can ship.
"This year we planted about 100 acres In
young oranges, and so far have not lost tree.
Scale have not troubled them in the least. We
also have hundreds of acres in lemons, and
they are doing just as well as the orange
groves"
