THE STATE CROPS
Much Good and Little Damage Done
by Rain

w avail
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 2.-The fol-
lowing Is summary of the crop bulletin
issued by the Weather Bureau for the
week ending November 1st:
The weather has been generally dry,
with temperatures nearly normal. The
precipitation was below the normal.
In the northern part of the State and
the Sacramento Valley the weather has
been favorable for oranges and olives.
the olives are being harvested. Both
crops will probably be large. The rain
at the end of last week has been of great
value to the farmers. who are now plow-
ing, and grain will soon be largely plant
ed. Pasturage is much improved. In
some localities, however, more rain is
needed and farmers are sowing wheat
on summer-fallowed land. The season
is favorable, on the whole, for farm
work. There are prospects of a large
amount of grain.
In the southern portion of the State
and in the San Joaquin Valley the rain
damaged grapes, though less than at
first supposed. Warnings Of the rain
led to general stacking, and raisins were
saved from what otherwise would have
been extensive injury. AS it is, some
growers insist that large portion of
the crop has been damaged, and, while
admitting that the crop was stacked in
time, claim that dampness will cause
half-dried fruit to mold. The second
crop Of raisins will be of little value, ex-
cept for wineries.

GOT HER BACK
Wong Ark Regains Possession Of His
Girl Slave

AS was expected, Kwai Moi and Wong
Lip, Chinese couple whose elopement
was interrupted at Fresno on a charge
Of grand larceny, were released yester-
day on $1,000 bail each. Wonk Ark,
whose slave Kwai Moi is. and who was
instrumental in procuring the girls ar
rest, found the money.
, Before the couple was released, JUS
tice Owens instructed the interpreter to
tell the prisoners that they might re-
main in jail for protection If they feared
personal injury at the hands Of the
Chinese. The court declared that the
manner in which the arrest of the couple
on a grand larceny charge had been
treated gave the case the aspect of a
farce, and looked like an attempt to
manipulate the courts of justice for the
purpose Of capturing a runaway slave.
He stated that he would not tolerate the
perpetration Of any such scheme by
lending his assistance. The complaint
had been issued In good faith, and he in
tended to have the case prosecuted.
In the meantime, Wong Ark has re-
gained possession of his slave, who was
ready to go back to him rather than re-
main for an indefinite time in Jail, and it
is safe to say that he will now lose his
interest in prosecuting the case.
