SAN JOSE rs AT WORK.

Instead of being discouraged over the
Joaquin Valley road San Jose has been
reused to greater exertions than ever In
view of the fact that the directors of the
road have not yet determined the route by
which the road shall enter San Francisco
San Jose has excellent grounds for hope,
and is redoubling her efforts to offer sufii-
Gent inducements.
Already she has pledged $4,000 for
shares and proposes to increase this to
$3.50 900. As Mayor Austin has pointed
out, however, the most important consid-
Grafton is the right of way. The holdings
through San Mateo and Santa Clara coun-
ties are generally small and valuable and
if the peoples road has to bear the expense
of securing right of way through them
the cost will be very heavy. Hence an
energetic committee was started out from
San Jose yesterday to ascertain what could
be done by the citizens themselves in this
most important branch of the work. An
opportunity is thus presented to the land
owners to show how much they value their
own prosperity and that of their splendid
county. A similar committee from San
Mateo will probably be put into the field
at once. But the work should not he left
entirely to these committees. Every prop
erty-owner has an opportunity to come
forward voluntarily and offer the strongest
inducement in his power for the road to
run through his land

NO PRUNES FROM FRANCE.
THE CALIFORNIAN PRODUCT HAS
No COMPETITOR ON THE
AMERICAN MARKET.
A FRENCH EXPORTER SAYS THEY
SHOULD BE SOLD AS A
NATIVE PRODUCT.

P. NJ. Loubrie, a member of the firm of
Talbot Fre-es of Bordeaux, France, packers
of peas, mushrooms, tomatoes and other
vegetables and olive oils and prHnes, is in,
the city. He said that his firm shipped no
prunes to California and very few to the
Eastern States while few years ago they
did large business III that line Cali
fornia prunes have taken the market all
over the United States" he said where
we exported large quantities a few years
ago there is now very little sale and; of
course, no French prunes come to Cali
fornia."
Speakingof the relative merits of Cali
fornia and French prunes he said that the
essential difference was only in the appear
ance, which was due to the difference in
the manner of packing and the care taken.
1t would be well, he said, for. the Cali
fornians to insist that their prunes be sold
as California prunes and get all the credit
for their good name instead of allowing the
dealers TO pass them off as French prunes.
The French pack all such articles much
more neatly and attractively than the
Californians. 1t was for this reason as
much as anything else, Mr.. Loubrie said,
that they were enabled to compete here wit
the finest class, OF vegetables which they
export. 1--WE French say" he SAID, chat

as with our mouth

AN IMMEDIATE RESULT.

The first local effect that has been pro-
duced by the decision to run the valley
road by the way OF Stockton has been to
create a sudden rise in the prices of real
estate in that city.
Stockton's subscription to the road was
500, 600 in cash for shares and 100000 in
land. The subscription for shares was
business-like investment in valuable secur-
tiles which undoubtedly will yield COM
Portable profit. The land was a gift, but
this also was an investment in which no
sentimental considerations had place.
From these business-like investments in
an enterprise in which none of the ele-
ments of speculation appear, and from
which there can be no immediate returns,
the city has already reaped profit in the
advancement of realty values. We are
assured that at the beginning of the agita-
ton for the new road a number of negotia-
tons for the transfer of real estate were
begun, the determination OF which de-
pended on the decision of the railroad
directors, and these are to be closed at
once.
An estimate of the percentage of increa Sc
in values has not yet been made, but it is
simple matter of arithmetic and can be
determined in few days. We feel con-
fident in asserting that this increase is
already many times as large as the amount
Of Stocktons subscription, and that it will
continue to increase steadily. In other
words, without taking into account the
direct prospective profit from the invest
ment itself, or that which will come here
after in the increase of traffic and from the
prosperity of the country contributory to
Stockton, there is the additional and i'm
mediate gain in the enhancement of prop
erty values in the city, and this will be
followed quickly by an influx of money
from outside investors and by generous ex-
penditures in local Improvements and en-
terprises.
1t need not cause surprise that this adj
yancement in prices has come so quickly.
TWAS inevitable, and it will be the same
with every city, town, village and settle
ment through which the road shall pass.
Every one of these which offers an induce
ment sufficient to secure the road will re-
ceive in the enhanced value OF its property
much more than it may expend in secur-
ing the road. The matter may be regarded
merely as an investment, and the example
and experience of Stockton may be taken as
the criterion. The three forms in which
aid may be extended are by subscribing
Tor shares, by giving depot facilities and
the right of way, and by soliciting shippers
10 sign the pledge to patronize the peoples
road.
Ii would be wise, however, for the cool
headed men OF these cities and towns to
repress any tendency toward the develop
ment OF BOOM" There is safe and

street paving devised up to this time. 1t
| is admitted the people desire that kind of
paving. 1t is not'denied that it is econom-
ical, durable and convenient. 1t is not
questioned that the supply is abundant
near at hand, easy of access, and of quail
ity whose excellence is not disputed. All
of these things are agreed upon by both
sides. The only issue between the parties
is whether the rock is to be purchased I'M
der conditions that allow free competition
or under restrictions that will allow no
competition at all.
1t is to be presumed the Supervisors de-
sire to obtain for the City the best material
at the lowest price. If this presumption is
well founded, free field should be given
for competition, since all human expert
ence shows that prices are lowest and goods
are best, where the action of competition
is allowed the fullest and freest play. If,
therefore, the Supervisors do not open a
way for competition in the bids for supply
ing this material to the city, it will be evil
dent that either they do not wish to get the
best or they do not wish the lowest price.
That is the situation in nutshell. The
people understand it that way, and they
are going to draw a straight and strong
conclusion as to the motives and the rea-
sons that may impel any Supervisor to
vote against free competition.
It will avail nothing to juggle with words
in plain case OF this kind. The Super
visors can, in advertising for bids, require
the bitumen to be of good quality, suitable
for the work; they can have inspectors ap-
pointed to examine every bit of it and to.
reject all that is not up to the standard.
When this has been done to protect the
City, there should be no further restrlc-
tions. The introduction into the speciica-
tions of any conditions that would shut out
all bidders except a single combination,
and prevent the delivery of the material in
the City by any system of transportation
except that of particular railroad, will
not be lightly judged. The day for jobbery
of that kind has gone by; and as we have
said before, if any Supervisors have formed
a ring for carrying out such job, they had
better see that it is composed of brass and
triple steel before they expose it to the
force of public indignation,

FRENCH CHRISTIAN UNION.
RECEPTION GIVEN BY THE YOUNG
GIRLS SOCIETY OF THE NEW
HOME.
AN APPEAL FOR AID TO CARRY On
THE WORK OF THE ORGAN
.IZATION.

The first reception of the Young Girls
Society of the French Christian Union was
given yesterday at the home, 1120 Powell
street. The house was crowded with
French people and leading members of the
different evangelical churches of this city.
The reception was really the inauguration
of a new society formed by young ladies
who have Joined thelinion, those who have
been placed through the unions employ
ment bureau and those who follow any
of the classes at the home. A very pretty
programme was given by the young girls
of the home and members of the union. 1t
was as follows:
Opening prayer, Rey. Dupuy; hymn, by The
assemblage: reading of the Word, Madame
+ Marie Marshall; address, Marie Marshall, presi-
dent OF the union; solo, Miss J. SiStermaIs
recitation, by one of the pupils; hymn, by the
assemblage; recitation, by one of the pupils;
hymn, by one ofthe.pupils; trio, violin, violin
CELLO and organ, by the Misses Ames; recita.
ton, "streteh It Little, by one OF the pupils;
closing words, Mrs. ]. G. Clark; doxology; bene-
dictiOn.
AT the close of the programme there was
social chat on the work of the new union.
The home was founded last November
by Mime. Marie Marshall, who after having
done much missionary work in Paris came
to this city to labor among her own people.
She has met With considerable aid from
the charitably inclined among the French
citizens of San Francisco and FROM the
members of the different gflical
churches, but much more is needed 70
carry on the good work.
The object OF the union is to advance .ne
interests of the home, to provide Hro.ec,-
ton for young French girls, though sew,
eral of other nationalities have acfep.eGt
the free benefits of the home. Childlgini "
all religions are received and treated ai ~ :.

connected with the home. Girls who have
no home and are out of work are given
board and lodging at the home until en-
ployment can be found. A charge OF 81 a
week is made to those who can pay 1T, but
no one is refused admittance on account OF
being poor and unable to pay. The home
is sustained by contributions from the dit
ferent churches and charitable individuals,
No similar French society covering all
these branches exists in the United States.
A move is being made to appeal to the
charitably inclined people who are willing
to contribute toward saving young girls, as
penses are getting heavier.
The officers of the French Christian
( Union are as follows:
President, Madame Marie Marshall; vice.
presidents-Mrs J. G. Clark, Mrs G.. Barstow,
ing secretary Mrs. w. M. Searby financial Sec
rotary, Mrs. Hutchison; treasurer, Mrs. z. V.
Robbins; board of directors, twenty-one ladies
from the different churches.
There were several noted local philan-
tbropic workers present to assist and con-
gratulate Nine. Marshall, among them be-
ing Mrs. Emily c.. BarstoW of the Ladies'
Protection and Relief Society, Mrs. Clarke
of the Lick Old Ladies' Home, Mrs. E. V.
Robbins and Miss Margaret Culbertson of
the Presbyterian Chinese Mission, and
Mrs. j. D. Thornton of st. Johns Presby-
terrain Church.
Yesterday was also the first anniversary
of the French Reform Church, of which
Nine. Marshall's son, Rev. E. J. Dupuy, is
pastor, and which holds services every
Sunday at the modest home of Mrs. Mar
shall, lilo Powell street, just a few doors
from the school of the French Christian
Union.
Pastor Dupuy's address was both retro
spective and prospective and was in most
encouraging strain. Already the church

proper enhancement of values that comes
legitimately from the many circumstances
attending the valley road enterprise. This
will come in spite of silurians and croak-
ers, for it is natural, wholesome and nee
essary result. But the danger lies in the
possibility of over-enthusiasm and the cul-
tivation of a recklessly speculative spirit.
This should be kept down by all means.
Some parts of California have suffered
grievously from "booms," and men have
lost their heads in the scramble. We have
learned wisdom from the follies of the past,
but it is better to put our wisdom to active
use than to be content with its possession.

There is lesson in one of Santa Clara's
arguments in favor of the railroad route being
laid through that county. That is, the large
number of small fruit farms. San Joaquin
County is increasing the number of its small
orchards, vineyards and farms and the large
grain ranch is doomed. To bring the railroad
to Stockton will only hasten the change which
only began q few years ago but is already
marked.-Stocktop Independent.
