Business men have said that if orange
growers would only organize. they could,
by combining. market their fruit. They
did organize, and now at the close of the
season, there are 5000 carloads Of oranges
in Southern California spolling on the
trees. In some particulars this is the Sc
verest blow yet dealt TO the realty of our
special locality, for it taxes from the mar
ket all the orange land that prospective
settlers would buy if there were a market
for that class OF fruit.
The fancy navels are mostly sold. but
the great bulk of oranges are not fancy
any more than any other line of goods.
The industry was developed through the
Seeding, which is, no doubt. today the
most delicate orange raised where grown
under favorable circumstances. The in

Proposed.

Marinette, Wis. Dec. 2O.-TSpecial.I
gentleman of this city is in receipt of
letter from a prominent attorney of
Sault Ste. Marie concerning great
project the Canadian Pacific railroad has
on foot The attorney wished to OBJ
tam any information that could be Civ
en- nm IN regard to the scheme which
he sad, he understood was nearing com
plcuon. In fact, the letter states that
the Canadian Pacific railway has already
begun operations on branch road that
VIII pass through Marncttc county.
Inc PROJECT IS 10 connect the 500
Wlth Chicago by q continuous road con-
tfolled 10y one corporation The Cana
dlaH racine practically owns the 800"
road and IN connection with it could
make quick and direct Union with the
great Western metropolis. The 800"
attorney IntImated that the enterprise
"aS not only formulated but that the
work mad already begun. "As the road
VIII surely pass through Marnette. per-
maps you could give me some valua bic
lni0rmation in regard to it," he writes.
he plan ls not Il new one but the
tenor OF the lawyers note induces tho
citizens TO believe that there is something
PACK OF his assertions. The Canadian
Iaclhc road, since it controls the 500"
couId easily buy the Wisconsin & Michi-
gan line and in this way get its direct
connections with Chicago. This looks
very plausible and ii would not surprise
the railway world if tho great Canadian
road should make move of this sort.
