California Fruit Farms.

''It is only since the year 1890 that
the people of California have shipped
their fruit to the New York and Phil
adelphia markets in any large quauti-
ties. but California fruit has found its
way into Eastern cities more than ever
this summer" said gentleman who
is the owner of 10, 900 acres of choice
fruit land in Tehama County, Cali
fornia, to Star reporter.
California fruit has acquired a
worldwide reputation on account of
it's size, shape, color and flavor. The
largest fruit farm probably in the
world is that of the late ex-senator
Stanford. 1t contains $50 acres,
and the grapes raised and the wines
made there bring in not less than $75,-
900 year. Ex-Governor Bidwell has
fruit farm containing $4,000 acres.
Some of the cherry trees on this prop
erty have been growing for twenty-five
years, and the branches form circle
at least sixty feet in diameter. Not
more than a dozen such trees can be
profitably grown on an acre OF land on
account of their immense size and the
lack of room. have seen STA worth
of cherries picked from one of the
Bidwell trees, and cases are we'll au-
thenticated where cherries to the value
of 5000 and over have been gathered
from single tree on other fruit farms.
A full crop of cherries from the Bid
we'll orchard will bring its owner any
where from $50, 900 to $35, 200.
"Just to show you how enormous
the profits of fruit farming are,
friend of mine, the cashier of the
Fresno National Bank, owns 1876
acres near Fresno, which he turned
into fruit farm seven years ago. His
wife manages the farm while he at
tends to matters at the bank. Perhaps
it is due to his wife's able manage
ment, perhaps to the fertility of the
soil, but he told me recently that
his profits this year from 1876
acres would be over $4,000 and he
showed me books and figures to sub
stantiate this statement, which 1,
knowing the fertility of some of the
California fruit farms, have not tho
slightest reason to doubt. Washing.

Suits the TatIors,

Felix Faure's tailors made a good
thing out Of the st. Petersburg visit.
1t rained every hour of the Presidents
stay in Russia, and consequently his
eight dress suits and twelve silk hats
were all ruined. When the reception
at Dunkirk was given NJ. Faure on his
return home he had to wear pressed
suit" but that did not so much matter,
for there again it also rained in tor.

have been as hard TO bear as for some
fine lady out in a downpour, minus an
umbrella and no money for cab.

There is one good explanation of the
fact that great cities almost invariably
grow towards the west. AS regards
Europe, the prevailing winds are from
the west and southwest, SO that these
portions of the towns are brighter,
cleaner, and healthier than the eastern.
