to find the actress, advance agent
quiet and business like. They were
wonderfully polite-put out their pipes at once
and made a rush for their coats as soon as
appeared, and they promised me plenty of

see the papers
Well, those men kept their words, as far as
space was concerned; but you can imagine my
feelings, as the representative of Miss Turner,
when l found all the space devoted to an ac-
count OF the advance agent, and scarcely line
strated with the editors, but they all excused
themselves by saying that woman advance
agent was novelty, and that there was moth
ing new about travelling theatrical company.
All along the route it was the same story
The newspaper men would insist on writing
me up, because l was a novelty. l certainly
succeeded in getting plenty of notices, some
times, when companies ahead of ours could
only obtain line or two, but on the whole there
was too much about the advance agent, and
too little about Miss Turner for the managers

Quoted, so at the end OF the tour resigned, as
had always intended to do.
But there really seems no reason why women

SPIRIT OF THE PRESS.

If this State is to become the orchard of the
world, as by right of natural conditions and
prolific yield it should, then there must be
sought, in fact obtained, markets commensu-
rate with its possibilities of production. When
1t has become evident that every part of this
country can be reached at a fair cost of trans
portation the question of what to do with the
enormous fruit yield of this State will be fully
solved. tits not a dread of over-production, but
means of general distri bution that faces the
rult-growers of California.-Ssn Diego Union
The new life which is waking in Sou thern
California bears no resemblance to the life that

THE NORTHERN GATE.

Marysville occupies the same position
with reference to the Sacramento Valley
that Stockton does with regard to the San
joaquin; both are the gateways to the two
great valleys of California, with their vast
natural stores of wealth hardly yet in the
beginning of their development. The
growth OF the San Joaquin has proceeded
more rapidly than that of the Sacramento,
but in time this will prove to have been
only temporary condition. One cause
for the more rapid advancement of the
San Joaquin has been the smaller number
of enormous landed estates, which prevent
a denser settlement.
The Sacramento Valley, including the
fertile small valleys which open into it on
the western side, produces the earliest and
some of the best fruits in California.
Marysville is more toward the eastern side.
and consequently it is in contact with and
is the supply point for all the rich fruit
and goldmining regions of the Yuba and
Feather rivers and the Sierra foothills,
and has the additional advantage of river
transportation as well as railroads TO
San Francisco; and being on the line Of
the Southern Pacific Company'g northern
overland route it is perfectly situated 10
become one Of the great interior cities Of
the State.
When to these considerations are added
an uncommonly healthful climate, the
ability to put oranges on the market much
earlier than other parts Of the State, and
an exceedingly handsome aud well-pov-
erned municipality and population far
above the average in enterprise, intclIi-
gence and pride, we find all the best essen
tlals for pleasant home and profitable in
dustries. AS one OF the pioneer cities Of
the State, Marysville has lost nothing OF
the fine old spirit that the early settlers
brought with them across the plains.
Energy and advancement are the inspira-
ton Of her people, the latest and best un-
dertaking being an electric railroad to
Auburn, which will tap the rich fruit belt
of the foothills.

WOMEN ADVANCE AGENTS.

women seem to be invading all the trades
and professions, but there is one occupation
that so far, I think, no woman has tried but
myself, and that is the business OF advance
agent
A few years ago, when 1 was playing In the
same company with Carrie Turner, we USED TO
talk good deal about the coming tour IN
which she was to star, and one day said, IN q
moment of enthusiasm: 81 wish l could go
ahead and tell the people what success you
are going to be-"
"Well, go ahead as my advance agent"
answered Miss Turner. "The very novelty OF
the thing would get US good notices." The
idea seemed good one, for had had little
newspaper experience in writing stories tor
my father, who YVES editor of Phila-
delphia newspaper. Miss Turner's manager
consented, and couple of weeks before the
opening of her tour l set out ahead with q
number OF carefully written articles, all setting
forth the merits Of the company and the sue
cess it was sure to meet with.
The first place stopped at was Syracuse.

THE SANTA CRUZ FETE.

During this week Santa Cruz will be the
center of the animation and the gayety OF
the State. There will gather youth,
| beauty, wealth, fashion and all that goes
to make up the elegance and the Joy OF
California life. The water carnival, in re-
viying something of the splendor of old
Venice, with the added attractions which
American ingenuity suggests, will form a
fitting elimination to the fiestas of the
spring and begin the summer with a
unique festival of its own.
Reports that come to us of the arrange
ments made for receiving visitors to the
festival assure every guest comfortable
| as well as joyous holiday. There will be
ample accommodations for all Santa
Cruz has from the first been constructed
with view to entertaining large numbers
of visitors. The homes, the boarding.
houses and the hotels are largely in excess
OF what the resident population needs, for
every summer a numerous gathering of
people from all parts of the State assem-
bles there to enjoy the surf-bathing, the
drives, the picnics and the superb scenery
OF mountain and sea. This equipment for
pleasure-seekers serves the city we'll at
this time, and with the increase of lodging
rooms and dining-halls, specially provided
for the occasion, Santa Cruz will be well
able to give every visitor not only well
come, but pleasant place to stay.
The festival itself will be pleasing vari-
alton from those that have preceded it..
Water will lend its witchery to the enter
tainment. Flower-adorned carriages on
decorated streets are fair, but flower

By daylight or by starlight, when
illumined by the sun or when radiant in
the flashing of innumerable electric lights,
the grand lagoon will be thing of beauty
well fitted for scenes of pleasure and enjoy
ment. The resources of engineering skill
and artistic taste have been brought into
service with tireless energy to render every
detail Of the scene worthy of the pageant
that is to be enacted upon it, and it is more
than probable that the result will be one of
the most enchanting spectacles ever ex-
hibited beneath American skies.
With such preparations made for the
fete, there can be little doubt of the gather
ing of a company fully capable of appreci-
atlng all and enjoying everything. Santa
Cruz has been the scene of many notable
assembly of men and women on pleasure
bent, but this occasion will surpass beyond
measure all that have preceded it. The
brightest leaders of social life from every
section OF the State will meet there and out
of the combination will come a. gay confu-
sion of merriment, dances and happy laugh
ter. With such a festival to start the
season and begin the holidays we can fairly
count upon a happy summer, and even
those who stay at home may with good
reason join in wishing Joy to all who are
off for Santa Cruz

AN EXCRUCIATING IDEA,

The wheel of fate never took a more
amusing turn than that which is an
nounced in dispatch from Washington
to the New York Herald. "China," it
says, 'has become a land of promise to
many Americans. Believing that Japan's
work has cleared the way for the advance
of civilization into the Celestial Kingdom,
numbers of citizens of the United States
propose going to China to obtain the first
benefits which will undoubtedly follow the
opening of Chinese ports to the world. Z"
number of electricians have informed
the State Department that they are going
to establish electric roads, and it is as
sumed that they will be welcomed because
one of the great difficulties which China
encountered in the recent war was her in
ability to transport troops rapidly.
at the same time we are reading that all
the white persons attached to the English,
French and American missions of Cheng
Tu have been massacred by the natives, to
whom, forgetting our own conduct at Rock
Springs and elsewhere, some of us will
probably apply the term Savage"
Human nature is as interesting as it is
diverse. Following the very stringent
laws which we enacted for the exclusion
OF Chinese from this country comes move
ment on our part for the peaceful overrun-
nlng OF China. Nothing appalls the Anglo
oaxon-rarely even his own conscience
In the face OF his knowledge that the pop
ulation OF China is so dense that the
struggle for existence there is fiercer than
In any other country of the world, his
abounding self-reliance and his belief in
his own superiority lead him to believe
that he can wrest prosperity from con-

Fruit in considerable quantities is going
forward in refrigerator-cars from Vacaville,
Winters and Sacramento to Chicago. Ven
tilated cars are also used for handling
fruit that does not require ice for its
preservation. General Manager A. H.
Towne says the equipment of the Southern
Pacific is sufficient to transport all the
fruit offered for shipment So far the
schedule time promised has been made on
the Central and Union Pacific. The first
through fruit train last week met with a
mishap, however, ON the Chicago and
Northwestern, and was delayed two hours
by wreck. At last accounts the second
train was making schedule time. The
third will leave Sacramento at midnight
on June II.
The Atlantic and Pacific is doing fair
business in shipping orchard products,
but the rush has hardly begun. The first
shipments in the package of fruitcars
were not as successful as the shippers ex-
pected. 1t seems that delay occurred in
loading the cars, and the fruit did not
reach its destination in as good condition
as it would have been had the packers
understood the proper methods of packing.

Atlantic and Pacific from points in Arizona
and New Mexico and Kansas CITY and

Colonel George w. Maciarlane OF Honolulu
came In on the Australia yesterday from the
islands. He was King Kalakaua's chamber
lain, and says that since his royal masters
death, he has taken no active part in island
politics and will not discuss the political s1tua-
uon down there. Speaking of the commercial
outlook there he said yesterday at the Callfor-
mia:
NEARLY all over the islands the rains have
been abundant enough, and believe that this
years crops will be the largest ever harvested
on the islands. There has been quite an ad-
vance in sugar and if it is maintained the
plantations give promise of large dividends.
The commercial outlook for the coming year L
regard as very promising.
''The sending of second and third grades OF
sugar around the Horn in sailing ships has IN
terfered with the trade between Honolulu
and San Francisco, and decreased the number
OF sailing vessels which were owned In those
two ports. 1t has deprived San Francisco OF
quite considerable amount of shipping bust
ness All our sugars, as you know, are under
contract to the refiners' trust, and there has
been some clash between them and the
railroad people on overland rates for sugar.
This has caused the refners to order all second
and third grades OF sugar to be shipped around
the Horn. This is to be regretted, as it means
large loss in the shipping trade to both San
Francisco and Honolulu mercantile houses"

A COOPERATIVE RAILROAD,

Inc enterprslng promoters of prosperity
IN San Diego have projected a scheme OF
| cooperation more far-reaching than any
ever yet undertaken. We use the phrase
'farreaching" in its literal sense for the
proposed project is q railroad which,
starting from San Diego, is to reach east
ward continuously until it touches some
line that will bring the Atlantic seaboard
within reach. 1t is to be constructed,
moreover, on the cooperative plan, and to
be operated largely by men who own it.
On leaving San Diego the line, as pro-
Jected, runs through a territory at least
500 miles square, which, while rich in all
the resources necessary to maintain a
prosperous community, is without ade-
| qCate railroad communications; thence it
crosses the northern end of Mohave
Desert, passes through a rich mining
region in Southern Nevada to the great
coal fields of Utah, and from there will be
extended to some connecting road that will
make 1t a complete transcontinental line.
The most interesting feature of the pro-
ject is the plan devised for raising money
to construct it. 1t is claimed that the land
bonus already pledged from reliable men
show the amounts to be received from that
source will be almost equal to the cost of
grading the road. To raise the rest of the
money it is proposed to issue stock at a
par value of $40 share to be sold among
railroad employees, it being the intention
to make the line strictly railroad mems
railroad. Provision will be made to pro-
tect the stockholders against stock iobbers,
and also for the construction of the road
without issuing bonds SO that when COM
pleted it will be owned absolutely by the
stockholders, and all of it's earnings will
60 to them in dividends.
The project, which at first thought seems
beyond the reach of cooperative work, has
the Endorsement OF men of practical sagac-
ity. Among the endorsements are several
given by divisions of the Order of Railway
Conductors and lodges of the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers. Such recon-
mendations are calculated to give conf
dence in the enterprise, and with conf
dence and good management it would
seem success is certain. 1t is beyond a
doubt that the region through which the
line is projected needs nothing but rail
| road to bring about within it rapid de-
velopment. Sooner or later such road
must be constructed, and it will be much
better to have it built on the San Diego
plan than by the usual process of selling
the bonds in Europe and thus mortgaging
the line to foreigners. There is a great
future for cooperation, and if this enter
prise succeeds it would be hard to set
limit to what may be done, even at pres
ent, on the cooperative plan
