DOUBTFUL BENEFITS
LEMON SHIPPERS MAY IGNORE
THEIR CoNCESSION
Belief That Much Fruit Is Damaged
for Lack of Ventilation-B. F.
Grifi1th County Treasurer

SAN DIEGO, May 9.-The reduction" in
eastbound freight on lemons granted by
the Santa Fe about a month ago is not
proving the boon that was expected by the
producers, and the shippers will probably
so back to the old rate before the time of
the Concession" granted expires. The
concession required that each car should
contain 10000 pounds, instead of A,OcJ. Il
has been found that when 10000 pounds are
loaded in a car there Is no room for ventila-
ton, and, as a consequence, at least 20 per
cent of the fruit is destroyed in transit.
The shippers of this city will send car
east this week with only 24,0OO pounds, and II
the fruit reaches it's destination in good
condition they will ignore the concession
of 25 cents on the loo pounds and load their
cars with only $4,000 pounds.

be subscription taken that can be for
warded at once. Riversiders have great
