CALIFORNIA LEADS

California oranges are rapidly grow
ing in favor in the east, particularly In
the big New York markets. In an edition
Of the New York Times just previous to
Christmas the following significant
statement appeared in an article on the
local markets.:
The fruit trade was somewhat i'm
proved yesterday. especially for or
anges and apples. At the office of one
of the largest dealers 1t was said that
a good many of the Florida oranges
that have arrived lately were of large
size. having been swelled by the long
continued rains, and consequently were
not Of very good flavor. With Califor-
MIA navel oranges the case was the re-
verse, the larger the orange the better
the quality.
This shows that for the Christmas
trade the California oranges were in bet
ter condition than'the Florida fruit. II
seems that our peninsular neighbor has
to contend with excessive rains as well
as with the possibility of killing frost in
raising citrus fruits.

gold bearing sections, and eventually
ore containing precious metal values not
exceeding 81 to the ton win be probably
worked in this state as well as else-
where. This already obtains in South
Africa, otherwise mining would long
ago have been discontinued there.
California, therefore. is more apt to in
crease than decrease its gold production.
Colorado has only just begun to exploit
her gold fields. Five years ago its
product came chiefly from one county.
During the past year it was mined in
paying quantities in twenty-five coun-
ties. The mines of the Witwatersrand
district can hardly fail to increase
their output. The new discoveries in
Australia give assurance that there will
be no diminution in that part OF the
world. Alaska is an unknown quantity
as yet, but any calculation that omits
the Klondike as factor would at once
be set aside as imperfect
Surveying the whole field, and con-
servatively rejecting items that are not
based upon known facts and reasonable
the conclusion is inevitable
that the world is entering upon an era
of gold production unparalleled In his
tory. That there will be too much pro-
duced-so much as to effect its world
value as a money metals not believed
That is an argument bimetallists have
never used. Nor is it believed that there
will ever be enough produced to furnish
an adequate metallic currency for the
people of the universe. The threatened
deluge has no terrors for the single
standard advocates, which is trifie sin
gular, since their contention has ever
been that the production of silver
caused it's depreciation and debasement
Friends of the white metal are serene in
the conviction that the increase in the
gold output will tend to close the gap
between the two metals and force recog-
milton of the correctness of the present
ratio.

CALIFORNIA OPINION
A Governor Who Works

Only partisanship or ignorance OF the
facts will deny to Governor Budd great
deal of credit for the series or investiea,
tions of state institutions he has held
during the past several months, and for
the practical results he has thereby
brought about 1t is work of kind that
an official naturally shrinks from, and
that all previous governors have, In fact.
shirked. II is hard, wearisome work of
the most wearing kind, and, in the course
of it, the investigator must expect to
raise for himself swarms of active ana
bitter enemies. When Governor Budd was
before the people for election 1t was I'M
derstood that he would personally see to
the long-needed reforms by which econo-
my and greater efficiency would be
achieved in public institutions. Many
times similar promises have been made,
but this time the most virulent political
enemy of the governor WILL If he be can
did man, admit that they have been full
flled.-San Francisco Report.

Same Way in Phoenix

A mention made by the Los Angeles Her
aid of receiving orders for copies on ac-
count of hotel advertisements to be found
In 1t, comes pretty near covering the stu
alton in Phoenix. The very class of bust
ness that would gain most during the fall
and winter months by advertising, fails
to advertise, or does so in such limited
manner that it is of little use. The Her
aid has had perhaps a dozen requests in
the past four months for information con-
corning hotel accommodations here, re-
quests for copies of the paper with hotel
advertisements, etc. Our showing in that
line is not what 1t should be. 1t would
certainly be to the benefit of our numerous
hotels to make themselves known.-Phoe-
nix (Ariz) Herald.

The Proper Way

The people of Los Angeles. in acquiring
municipal ownership of the water plant
of that city, do not manifest desire to
bulldoze the owners of the plant to give
up their property on terms proposed by
the would-be purchaser, but very wisely
propose to have committees representing
both interested parties, who shall, If pos
sible, arrive at an understanding AMIGA
bly, and avoid litigation and vexation.
Such procedure will point to level-headed-
ness on the part of the Angelenos.-San

SPECIAL EDITIONS

Seattle has been heard from great deal
during the past few years, and the Klon-
dixie excitement has given 1t new life and
vigor. The revival is well exemplifed in
the fine 36-page special edition just issued
by the Seattle Times, of which Col. Alden
j. Blethen is the guiding mind. Col.
Blethen has had control of the Times
nearly two years, during which period it
has made wonderful progress A magnif-
cent new Hoe press is now being built for
the Times, in order to meet the demands
of the circulation, which has grown from
5000 to II, 900 in the last two years.

Street Begging

The street begging nuisance has been
unusually offensive during the last few

the thought that they might know some

perpetrated in the street few days ago.

The San Jose Scale

The San Jose scale is the most destruc-
tive of all the insects which prey upon
fruit trees In this state. 1t is practically
impossible to exterminate it, and the only
thing man can do with an orchard af-
ficted with it is to cut 1t down and burn
up the trees. 1t is not too much to say
that any person having scale-infected or
ehard who will box his apples and ship
them to other parts of the state where
there is no scale is an enemy of the entire
country, who ought to be prosecuted for
malicious mischief.-San Jose Mercury.

THE GOLD PRODUCTION

The director of the United States mint
estimates that $240, OOO,O 900 was added to
the worlds store of gold by the product
of the mines in 1897, of which enormous
sum California and Colorado contributed
one-sixth. These figures are not official,
though, in all probability, approximately
If there be any variance it
will be with regard to the product of the
mines Of this country. The British sys
tenn of recording precious metal output
in Africa, India, and Australia is so per-
feet that very close estimates can be
made at any time. With the exception
of the mines of the South Appalachian
range the production of every gold-pro-
ducing section in the world shows an in
crease over 1896, the increase aggregat-
ing 20 per cent, as follows:
