the Red Bluff Canning and Packing Com
pany has come to be recognized in several
Eastern markets as standard of purity,
for the company packs no anterior goods.
In 1892 the farmers and business men
erected small cannery, not with any eX-
pectation that it would ever be any thing
more. But they secured for manager one
of the most experienced Gamers and best
business men in the State, James Feeley,
long associated with the ]. Lusk Com
pany of San Francisco. After managing
the business for the company for two
bought up most of the shares Of stock in
the company and proceeded to enlarge the
plant. They have made several additions
to It, and to-day it is one of the largest In
the State.
Not content with the cannery business
alone, that only taking their time for
portion of the year, Mr.. Feeley and Mr..
Kraft ventured into the buying and ship
ping of dried fruit TO the Eastern markets.
They were so successful in that line that
it became necessary to enlarge the scope
or the old cannery company or to create
new corporation. This latter they did,
and q few weeks ago Incorporated under
the name Of the James Feeley Com pany.
They will soon erect a securing plant for
wool at Red Bluff.
Another industry with headquarters at
Red Bluff that gives employment to a
large mum Der of men is the Holt d Gregg
Company. They have large lime kilns
and brickyards in Shasta County, and are
interested in nearly every large contract
for brickwork from the Oregon line to far
south OF Red Bluff.
The healthfulness of Red Bluff as place
of residence is attes ed by the reports of
the State Board of Health. But ii man
feels at all run down and needs
little change. all he has to do is to take a
drive or get into Walbridge's conveyance
and be driven about nine miles northeast
of Red Bluff. Here are the famous Tuscan
Springs, owned by e. B. Walbridge, with
postoffice and telegraph and telephone
connection with the outside world. There
are about fifty springs in all, and their
medicinal qualities are as varied as are
the mum Der of springs. Their best adver-
tisement is the thousands who have been
treated in the waters. For rheumatism
and as blood purifiers they have no equal
on the coast. In fact, many patients have
been cured here after trying without avail
the waters of celebrated Eastern as wellas
coast springs. Treatment there for kid
ney, liver and skin diseases has been so
successful that many who have been
treated for years by the best physicians OF

In response to invitations received from
local floral societies Professor Smith will
visit towns within radius Of 100 miles of
San Francisco to explain the details of all
matter relative to the carnival and the
floral display to intending exhibitors.
: Ore OF the features of the floral show,
which will take place at Odd Fellows
Hall, is to be displays by sections. for
which suitable places will be offered.
Through the courtesy of Charles L. Bar
rington, president of the Board of EGuca-
ton, letters have been addressed to all
the principals of the public schools noti-
flying them of an offer by the carnival
committee OF $50 in prizes to the children
who can form the greatest NUM- Der of words
from the words Carnival OF the Golden
Gate"
Similar letters have also been addressed
to the principals of private and denomi-
national schools.

present such q pustling appearance as
they might and as the amount of traffic
on them would indicate they should, they
are Joy and pride to the residents and to
the transient public. All are well graded
and free from dust and the residence por-
ton of the town Is one of the pi ettiest to
be found anywhere. Though it has been
said that 1t takes hillv country to make
pretty town, Red Bluff trayerses and de-
Mss that such is the case and points to
herself to illustrate the position that a
beautiful city can be built on the plain.
In nearly every yard are two or more
orange trees, which through the fall and
winter dazzle all with their beautifully
colored fruit. which grows here to perfec
ton, though, strange to say, none have
yet planted orange groves for commercial
purposes, except one belonging to D. S.
Cone. The foliage OF a few lemon and
olive trees is also to be seen, and they
produce good crops every year, the olives
in this locality being very prolific.
The town just now monrns the coming
departure of her most Gistin giishad citi-
zen, General n. P. Chapman, who Will
soon remove TO San Francisco to assume q
place on the Supreme Court Commission.
In all affairs pertaining to Northern Cali
fornia and especially to the fruit industry

forts in these lines he has devoted the
most of his time to the practice of his
profession, and has long been one of the
leading lawyers of the north. He will be
succeeded in his practice by John ].
Wells, who has been his confidential
clerk for many years. He is a young
man who has given evidence of being we'll
adapted to the profession he has chosen.
The Sierra Lumber Company, of which
Hon. Peter Dean, president of the Mer-
chants Exchange Bank of San Francisco,
is president and general manager, has its
principal WORKS at Red Bluff, just across
the river from the town. The institution
gives employment to several hundred
hands Their product is shipped largely
to Australia, besides the California Gus
tom.
There is one thing noticea BILE about the
town. and that is the concentration OF its
business into one locality. Unlike most
places it is not spread out over several
streets, but not business house is to be
found off Wasnut or Main streets, Wal
nut being the principal street leading into
the town from the west, past the railroad
depot.

Proceedings Begun In the Probate
Court Of This City
Yesterday.
Asa w. Fisk has filed contest to the
will of his father, the late Asa Fisk,
money-lender and successful usurer, who
left an estate worth $500, 600.
In presenting his case the contestant
makes the same allegations regarding Mrs.
Lydia Fisk as are made in the case In the
Federal courts.
The averment is also made that Asa
Fisk was mentally unsound, that his
mind was weakened by being cohcen.
trated on the subject of gain, that his
second wife exercised undue influence,
and that the paper filed for probate is not
in fact the last will or any will of said Asa
Fisk, deceased.
Under the pleadings in the case it will
: be com potent to go into an inquiry con-
corning all the peculiarities and idiosYn-
crasies of the dead money-lender. Ii the
trial goes on, great many interesting
developments may be expected. The liti-
CATION will be long and expensive. If the
spirit of Asa Fisk is able to return and

be expended in the law courts. for the
winner must i'll the end pay from the
property recovered, there Is reason to sup
pose that there will be at leas. one un-
happy shade haunting the new City Hall
