chamber Of commerce for its appreciation
of the Importance of the fruit industry and
for the courtesies extended in the past and

reviewing the proceedings of the last con-
vention, recommending the passage of a
resolution similar to that of the former
meeting, in regard to pure food; also that
a resolution be adopted asking congress to
pass the pure food bill now before It. The
following committee was appointed ac-
cordingly: Prof. Sprague, l. N. Hew-
lit and Mr.. Boyd of Riverside.
Hon. VIM. Johnstone Of Sacramento
spoke of the advantage Of organization,
after which the president announced that
the appointment of committees would be
made after the noon recess.
Edward F. Berwick of Monterey stated
that he wished to speak Of reso-
luton which he would offer later with ref
erence to the Nicaragua Canal.
He spoke Of the pledge incorporated In
the Republican platform that the MIC
aragua Canal would be built. owned and
operated by the United States. and Of the
pressing necessity that the matter should
go forward, because the Argentine Re-
public, with many times California's area,
and with an advantage of 10000 miles in
getting her products to market, is pre-
pairing to compete with us in the fruit
line, and has already brought to her shores
large numbers of Spaniards, Italians and
Frenchmen from the south of France, born
horticulturists, to carry on these indus
tries. The cost of canal would not. with
the new suction dredges, exceed $50. .000.-
| 900, the Chicago Dredging Company stand
ing ready to make contract at that sum-
no ca0al, no pay.
He then offered the following resolu-
tions:
Resolved, That this convention Of fruit
growers, assembled this 18th day Of April,
1898, at Los Angeles, at the call of the State
Board of Horticulture, impressed with the
belief that the future of their industry de-
pends upon the improvement of traRspor-
tation facilities, demand from the Republi-
can party the redemption made in its plat
form Of 1896 as to the owning and operating
of the Nicaragua canal, and request Sem
ators and Congressman Of all political par
ties to further such legislation as shall
tend to the immediate construction of this
canal.
Resolved. That Senator Perkins be es-
pecially requested to take charge of this
matter and urge this necessary action at
Washington.
The resolutions were carried and later
amended SO as to place Senator Whites
name with that of Senator Perkins.
A long discussion followed, which lasted
until the noon recess, concerning the best
method of securing the building of the
canal.

would have 1922, 300 gallons of cured olives
and 1892, ,2S0 gallons Of olive oil as the pro-
duct Of the state.
A prolonged discussion followed the
paper by various olive growers present
which continued until the hour for ad.
journment. Professor Sprague an
nounced that they would take up the dis
cussaon of fruit exchanges at II o'clock this
morning.

DRESS OF CHICKEN SKINS
A Remarkable Gown Designed and
Worn by Parisienne

An evening dress made entirely Of chick
en- skins has been on exhibition in one of
the fashionable establishments of Paris
during the past week. This startling and
unique garment was made for Nine. Theo
Montbaude, fashionable Parisienne. The
remarkable thing about this dress is its re-
markable beauty and its durability. True,
1t was worn but once by Nine Montbaude,
at a grand ball given by the Russian am
bassador in Paris but no other garment at
that gorgeous affair aroused half SO much
admiration as the frock of chicken skin.
TO appreciate the beauty Of the dress it
must be known that not less than 800 pieces
of tanned skin were used in the making of
the skirt and bodice alone.
| When the work of making the dress
proper was finished several yards of the
delicate skin material was used for the
ruffles at the bottom of the skirt and the
puffs at the shoulders. This task COM
pleted, the gown was sent to the studio of
one Of the most skillful decorative artists
in France, Edmond Gillet who painted
upon the precious garment, in exquisite
colors and with superb effect, great
punches of pink and red roses and a rococo
decoration extending from the belt down
the entire front Finally there were rib
bons of woven feathers and belt of the
same material, and these completed the
most remarkable dress ever worn by a
woman-nearly touching the $1,000 mark ir
American money.
The slaughter of chickens necessary tc
the making of this garment was greater
than the number Of fowls required t.
complete the dress, for a selection was
made from an enormous quantity of bird:
which, If they gave signs of the slightes
imperfections for the purpose were imme
diately cast aside.-Chicago Chronicle.

trade; frozen oranges must not be sold and
lower freight rates must be secured. All
of which can be secured by associa tion ard
cooperation. III you want market for
your citrus fruits" said the speaker, in
summing up his argument. Organize. sys-
tematize and cooperate"
A. p. Griffith then read paper on "Su,-
phuring Fruits and Nuts" Mr. Griffith ex-
pressed himself decidedly opposed to sui
phuring and described process of evapo-
ration he uses to advantage. The subject
was discussed pro and con at the conclu-
sion of the paper, some speaking in favor
OF suiphuring, others considering It dele
terlous to health and an injury to the pal
atableness and quality of the fruit Ali,
however, admitted that as long as there Is
a demand for bleached, nice-looking fruit
the supply must meet the demand at the
expense of the superior flavor. Several
suggestions were made as to the methods
of educating eastern people to prefer quail
ity to looks. Mr.. Griffith exhibited samples
of pound packages put up by himself and
in which both kinde Of fruit could be used
and the buyer gradually educated to prefer
the sun dried or evaporated article.
Fruit Canneries from Gamers Stand

WEIGH. The speaker advised planting good

it will find its own market. The Gamer
will always buy all that Is offered of the
best varieties as the cost of canning is
just as great In putting up an inferior as
superior quality.

the growers standpoint. He described the

entitled 1.-THE Olive KNOT" by Frederic I.
Bioletti.
B. M. Lelong, secretary of the state, fol-
lowed the discussion with paper ON olive
culture, from which the following facts are
taken:
According to the assessors reports to
the state board Of equalization for 1897,
which are conceded to be generally too low
to be strictly accurate. there are in the
state 1,162, ,7Ss olive trees, of which number
S64. $40 are given as bearing and 797929 as
not yet in bearing. Averaging the plant
at 30 feet apart, we have 1000 acres in bear
ing and 16, ,623 acres not yet in bearing or a
total of 24223 acres devoted to the culture
of the olive in the state. We could with
safety, perhaps, add at least ten per cent,
and would be nearer the mark.
OllVe trees EedCu lull DcdIlll6 al Altceei
years, and presuming they bear fifty
pounds of olives per tree (which is not too
high, but low, conservative estimate),
and that of the total In bearing, there are
5000 acres that will give this average, or
100000 pounds. Again, averaging the
product of the remaining 1900 acres, which
are in bearing, but have rot yet reached
the ffteen-yar mark, at rs pounds per tree,
we have 5,5IlOOo pounds of fruit. which.
added to the former, gives us total of
12, ,72O 900 pounds Of olives as the product Of
the state. Now, on the average II takes
60 pounds Of fruit to make one gallon of
olive OIL therefore we should now produce
$4,000 gallons of olive oil per year, II all
the fruit was tEned into oil. which. of
course, would increase from year to- year
as the trees grow older, and when the acre
age now given as not yet in bearing be-
comes in full bearing. averaging the out
