Southern California" 1t was adver-
tised that car was to arrive on
certain date. The oranges did no. ar
rive, and the date of arrival was from
time to time changed, owing to the
force of circumstances.
When the oranges finally arrived, it
was at once apparent that they had
been picked in an immature condition,
and had been forced to color up Their
flavor would make a pig squeal What
was the result? It was that the pur-
chasers were stuck They could not
unload readily, and the oranges re-
mained on hand. They could not there
fore purchase and sell good Northern
California oranges which were daily Of
fered to them.
This state Of affairs led the Newcas-
tie and other up-country shippers 10
reach out and take the orange trade
away from the Sacramento dealers. So
badly was the business managed that
even the product from Orangevale
and other points around Sacramento
was forced about the city in peddling
wagons, and sold at a disadvantage.
A dlfferent state of affairs exists a.
Newcastle. The prominent shippers Of
the State are represented there, and
offers for the orange crop for this sea-
son have been made on an advantage
Gus basis
The large shippers now recognize
that the oranges of Northern and Cen
trail California demand early attention
each season, and the crop every year
will be shipped long before the morn
ing sun peeps over the hills on the gold
en- spheres of the sunny southland.

Shipments Are Already Being Made
From the Foothills.

Out of total of about 4 800 carloads
of green deciduouS fruits shipped to the
East from California during the pres
ent season about one-third, or 800

radius of five miles of Newcastle
When the Importance of the fruit busi-
ness of California is considered, it
would seem that the above statement
is somewhat remarkable, but the rec

JUDGE HUGHES FIXES LAWYER
CATLIN'S FEE.
Allows Him That Amount for His
Services as Attorney for the
Runyon Estate.

The application of Judge Catlin for
81, 800 fees as attorney of the Runyon
estate was resumed yesterday morning
in Judge Hughes court.
Wilbur F. George testified as an ex-
pert that he considered 81 800 a reason
able allowance. Judge S. S. Holl also
testified TO the effect that he thought
from 81, 800 to SIS, 500 would be reason
able for the services rendered.
Grove l.. Johnson testified that he
thought the fee was a reasonable one
Much more responsibility attached to
Judge Catlin than is usual in such
cases. Had he been attorney for the
estate he should have charged $4,000
at least. The responsibility was very
heavy one, and there might have been
heavy losses to the estate if the at
torney had been lax and careless. He
did not base his opinion on the fact
that Judge Catlin had acted as man
ager Of the estate, but on the response
billy resting on his shoulders. The de-
ceased had provided in his will that the
executors should have more for their
services than is usual in such cases,
leaving $1,000 apiece to them He GER
tainly would not have taken the at
torneyship of the estate for $4,000.
Albert NJ. Johnson, attorney for the
contestants, said he considered the
charge an exorbitant one for services
to the estate, and that 81 900 would be
ample
Judge Hughes remarked that the
matter of fixing compensation was
always a delicate duty to perform. AS
for himself, his practice, whether it
was for an attorney or a labOring man,
was to see that he was we'll paid for his
work. There were other considerations
also-the responsibility and the labor
performed by the executors and the
attorney. They have collected about
100000 from the real estate by turning
it into cash. Figuring the usual per-
centage on real estate transactions. il
would be 81, 800. In addition to this
is the responsibility of distributing
their share to the heirs and the man
agement of affairs, which is worth
something. Then were two suits, one
involving matters that may go to the
United States courts. They are impor-
tant and require much care. These he
placed at $500.
For another thing, Judge Catlin had
testified that the matters of the estate
had occupied more than half his time
for the past year and a half. His time
might fairly be said to be worth $500
a month, half of which would be $3.50.
and for a year and a half it would be
81 800 In addition to this are his
services in managing the estate, for
which something should be allowed.
Figuring on all these things, he
thought $500 would be a reasonable
allowance. and the order of the court
was that it be fixed at that sum.
