CALIFORNIA FRUIT.
One-Sixth of the Whole Product
Packed in n Single County.

From the Oakland, CAL Enquirer:
In Alameda county there are five large
canneries, four of which are in opera
ton this season. The fifth is not put
ting up fruit. but is being utilized as a
can manufacturing establishment. The
combined output of the Alameda coun-
ty canneries is large, being about 500
600 cases per year. The total fruit
pack of California is estimated at s.
600 600 cases. so ii will be seen that the
canneries Of this country contribute
one-sixth OF the total quantity In ad-
dition to the pack Of fruit there is also
a large vegetable pack, amounting to
100 000 cases year.
Although Alameda county is a large
producer of fruit and vegetables the
strongest ipduceuert for the estab-
lishment of canneries here is not the
proximity of the orchards. but the
available labor supply During the
busy season the two canneries of the
California Fruit Gamers association
employ 1900 hands, 700 in Oakland and
500 in San Leandro, Although the
work is considered hard, most OF the
operatives employed are women and
girls, and those who become experts
make good wages, Some earn as high
as $3.50 and SO per day, and the slow
est make 81 per day

CHAPTER XVI.
ELL MARKS

In due course followed the inquest on
the remains of General Burnley: but it
was productive Of no evidence In the least
calculated to throw light on the mystery
Of his death. After what he had learnt
from Teddy. the Inspector thought well
to send for Maker and repeat the whole
story to i'm.
But Maker scoffed at the idea of the
Rooium being the cause OF the crime.
While confcsSing there was possibility III
it, he saw little probability. His profess
sional fancy was taken rather more with
reddy's discovery that Jayne had been
decoyed on b, ard the Fairy. He resolved
to follow up that clew in preference to
the more romantic one OF the golden idol.
"The first thing to he done is TO find
Mr. Jayne" said Maker; 'and when we
have heard his story we may be in n po-
sition to put our hand on the man who
! killed the general or at least to discover
his uotives."
There are no two opinions about that"
cried Teddy, who was present. He was
murdered for the sake of the idol"

Bound Over to District Court.

The preliminary hearing of the
People VS. William Oliver, charge
forgery, came up before Judge
Casey last evening and the evi-
dence against him was sufficient
tc convince the Judge that he
should be bound over in the sum
of $500, in default of which he
was taken to the county Jail this
morning to await the action of the

The trial came about over a Rio

by Ieirney According to divers
statement he bought the check for
S2l from someone whom he could
not name and then left here for
Canon where he tried 10 cash it at
some of the stores but failed.
Evening came and he wished to
return to Florence. He went to
the Rio Grande ticket office and
presented the check for payment,
and the full amount S26 Is was
given him, less the price of the
fare to Florence.
Previous to the hearing
Deputy Sheriff Nicholas had
Oliver write Teirney's name
on an envelope which CORES
ponded identically with the
handwriting on the back of the
check, and this evidence convinced
