THREE MILLIONS
MORE FOR FRUIT
IS YEARS GAIN
Estimates Made Up
by Two Experts.
DRIED PRODUCTS A BONANZA
PRICES ADVANCED AND TRADE
FIELD GREW.

The farmers of California will receive
something like SIS 900 this season for
such products Of their orchards and vine
yards as are canned or dried. This Is
an advance of about $500, 900 over the
total received last year. D. II. Porter of
Porter Brothers yesterday made an esti-
mate OF the States dried fruit output for
The Call at $500 900. Superintendent Fon-
tana of the California Fruit Gamers As
sociaion estimated the canned fruit out
put at $6,500000. The story Of the year
as told by these gentlemen makes good
reading for the farmers and for all others
/ interested in the prosperity of California
There has not been an average crop
or peaches said Mr.. Porter, but prices
have advanced. Dried peaches, for in
stance, are 25 per cent higher than they
were and the Eastern buyer who expected
TO get them at his own figures is in the
lurch At the beginning of the season
the report was sent out that the peach
crop would be very large. The peaches
will not exceed 1900 to 1900 cars, as
against an early estimate of 2000 carloads.
The Raisin Association has put up the
l.price for raisins to almost double the
figures of last year and yet the goods are
moved as fast as they are ready. An
advance has just been made in the prices
of two grades of raisins. Three crown
standard loose muscatels have gone up
one-fourth of a cent per pound and the
four crown have. been raised one-half cent
per pound. These prices are netting the
growers nearly double what they realized
from the prices last year.
My estimate is that the seasons out
put will be 1900 carloads Of peaches at
1920 per car; 1000 carloads of prunes at
500 per car; $50 carloads of apricots. for
which $1,000 would be low average; 2500
carloads raisins, averaging 1920 at least;
pears, plums and nectarines and that sort

WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY
FOR HAWAIIAN ISLANDS
FRED J. CROSS NOW ON his WAY
TO CONSULT MARCONI.
A Honolulu Business Man Who In
tends to Utilize the Ital-
ian's Genius.

Among those who arrived on the Mari
posa yesterday is Fred ]. Cross, prom
inent business man of Honolulu, who Is
on his way East to consult with Marconi
relative to establishing system of inter-
island wireless telegraphy in the Ha-
waiian group.
Some time ago Mr.. Cross received a
letter from Marconi making an appoint
ment for a meeting in New York, to
which city he is now bound in order to
witness the experiments which the Won
derful inventor will make under the
supervision of the Navy Department and
to consult with the brainy Italian regard
ing the establishment Of his system for
practical use among the islands.
The instruments for the experimental
stations on the different islands have al
ready been ordered and will be in Homo
lulu by the end of this month or the first
Of November. AS soon as Mr.. Cross re-
turns he will experiment on his own ac-
count TO ascertain the feasibility of the
idea, as 1t is his intention to ask for no
subscriptions to the stock Of the company
he intends to start until he succeeds in
proving beyond the peradventure Of a
doubt that the venture will be success.
Mr.. Cross will personally arrange with

car; apples, perhaps $50 carloads, at $500
per car.
''The advance over last years receipts
for dried fruits will be nearly $4,000
This is due in part TO the advanced prices
for raisins. Then. again, prunes are large
and are netting more. The European
market for California goods is widening
the Atlantic Coast demand is increasing
the Oriental trade and increased con-
sumption at home are also factors.

these figures as his estimate: The
canned fruit output will be. approximate
", about $500, 900 in value. and about
1900 900 cases in amount. Last year the
pack was worth about s5,000,000 and the
output about 2,5000 600 cases. One reason
for the increase is the general prosperity
of the world at large; the other is the
lack of supplies, the market having been
cleared up, and that gave an opening for
large supplies this year.

will arrange for the inventor TO per-

thoroughly tested in the recent yacht
races that no further demonstration of It's
efficiency is needed as far as regards
short distances and the conditions that
pertain on the Atlantic seaboard AS far
as can be foreseen the same success
should obtain among the Hawaiian Is
lands and Mr.. Cross may soon have the
perception and business foresight, allied
to the inventive genius of the wonderful
Italian, which gave to the Hawaiian Is
lands their first wireless telegraphic ser

BLAMED THE PILOT.
Charged With Responsibility for the
Wreck Of the Morgan City.

Postmaster Montague received yester-
day letter from Oscar Schutt. postal
clerk in the Philippines in which the
writer gives an account of the wrecking
of the Government transport Morgan
City Schutt was a passenger on the
transport at the time of the wreck. He
writes: There was no excuse for the
wreck The watch called out land ahead
several times. The second officer also
was on the bridge. and he also reminded
the pilot that there was land and for
him to slow down. The pilot thought
that he could turn the ship in time, but
missed the point. The second officer ar
gued with him and said that he would
strike. The second officer rang the gong
and slowed her down little, thus saw
ing hundreds of lives. If she had struck
running at full speed l am afraid that
few of us would have escaped.
