WEDS TO SAVE MONEY
Breach of Promise Suit Ends in Nuptials
 at San Jose
at San J0se


 San Jose.-Rather than run the chance of losing $20,000 in breach of promise case, Julian Hermelin, pro prietor of the Liberty hotel at the corner of Eldorado and San Pedro streets, will wed Isaline R. Lagrue, a fascinating young widow, on May 8.
 This courtship has extended over two years, but the marriage is hastened by a breach of jromise suit, filed by Mrs. Lagrue on April 15, in which she all legged her affections had suffered to the extent of the thousands named. Mrs. Lagrue who is 34 years old, is the widow of Hector Lagrue, who formerly conducted the Lamolle house. He died several years ago, leaving an estate valued at about $50,000. One-half of this was given to the widow and the balance to two children.
 Mrs. Lagrue was considered good matrimonial catch and several French men "set their caps" for her. The af- fections of Hermelin were returned and an engagement entered into. Mrs. La grue decided to have their property rights definitely understood before the marriage He was to make some valu- able improvements on her property, and she was to give him only a share of her estate.
 Suddenly a coldness came over Her melin, after the widow had thus de- clared herself. Mrs. Lagrue pressed him to name the day, and he refused. Then she filed the breach of promise suit. In her complaint she declared that for two years she had been en- gagged to Hermelin and stood ready to marry him at all times, but he had refused to keep his part of the con- tract.

Slash in Rates

SEATTLE, Wash.-The dissolution of the combine of transportation com panies doing business between Seattle and Southeastern Alaska, which was announced last week, has led to an open war in passenger and freight rates.

Two companies today an nounced the passenger rate of $8 from Seattle to Skagway. Other concerns are down to $10 and SIP. The associa- tion rate was $16.

Settlers Take Up Large Tracts of Gov ernmsnt Land-Fruit Shipments from Southern California


 Southern California
 According to the State Labor Com missioner, the canning industry of Maine is more important and valuable than the slate, granite, and ice in- dustries combined, the value of the output of the 175 canneries in the State being $5,000000 annually. In ordinary years, $35O,000 is paid to farmers for sweet corn alone. Oregon prune growers are more than satisfied with the result of their prune association. They have shipped forty cars, and have about eight left on hand. Prunes have been satisfactory California Cultibator.

 Grand total for the season, since November l, 1900. being 16.794 cars. In this total 935 cars of lemons are included.
 California Fruit Exhibit
 A novel feature of the exhibit to be made by the California Fruit Gamers association at the Pan-American expo sition, will be structure composed al most entirely of canned and jared fruits in the California section of the horticultural building, says the New York Fruitman's Guide.
 A portico supported by columns of canned goods forms the entrance to the building, a facade of redwood making an attractive opening. The rear part will have an entire circular exposure. The framework will be completely cov- cred on the exterior with preserved fruits in tin cans; and the windows will be made of preserved fruits in vacuum jars.
 Aust Hang Together
 Progressive New York business men have organized Get Together Club, in which they meet once a month, have feast at 6:30 p. m., and then a free and informal talk on economic questions for four hours, and the club has a membership of more than two thousand employers, embracing many of the leading manufacturers and mer- chants. I have read some of their talks" and they are surprisingly rad ical Their attitude toward the prob lens of the day was well expressed by one of the leading manufacturers, who quoted Ben Franklin's revolu- tionary wit: If we don't hang to- gether we will hang separately" In looking over the Cured Fruit Associa- tion's perplexities and tribulations, l an reminded of this witty philosophy of Franklin. If they don't hang to- gcther as an association-stay by the new doctrine of community of inter eSts" to the extent of securing mutual protection-they will find their indi vidual interests hung as high as Ha man.
 Apparently, they find another bit of wit more active in frustrating their efforts to pull together, as expressed by the saying that it takes twelve jury men to hang man, and only one man to hang jury; and that one man has confidence enough in himself to say that he never saw eleven such con- ceited men before. In the case of the Cured Fruit Association, the one man

 Settlers Take the Land
 While in Yuma, April g, I was told that settlers have taken up nearly all the land on the great Algodones grant, recently thrown open to pre-emption as government land. A large number of squatters were already on it, and they secured the tracts they occupied, while a rush of people from Arizona, New Mexico and Colorado filed on most of the available parts as soon as they were authorized by the government to take possession. Commenting on these conditions. the Phoenix Republican re- gently said:
 "The Algodones tract is close to Yuma, it's land is as rich as land in any region. and there is an abundance of water. All that is needed is the canals for its conveyance, and it is understood that some of the present waterways cross tnls grant and others are contemplated. AS for title to the land, that is perfect. as the status of the grant has been fought out in the courts and those who prove up in ac- cordance with law will have not only a government patent, but the backing of the same by United States Supreme Court decision"
 Shade an Important Factor
 It is a common error to suppose that sunlight ripens fruit when, in fact we all know, if we stop to think, that we often find the choicest apricot, peach or tomato hidden away in the foliage where the sun never gets at it. How ever, sunlight does add to the color, and fruit exposed to the sun frequently ripens first on the sunny side. This fact has led to the error indicated. Of course it is conceded that fruit is i'm proved in sweetness and flavor with a fair amount of sunshine; but ripen- ing is vital process, as Mehans Monthly, high authority, justly ob- serves, and in this ripening processs an abundance of good, healthy foliage is the prominent agent in the work. In short, bunch of grapes, ripening in comparative darkness, would be far preferable to one grown in the full light with most of the vine leaves taken off. But the leaves themselves must be vigorous and healthy. They are not healthy when crowded.
 For this reason the good gardener thins out the weak branches in the early stage so as to have plenty of room for the development of larger ones later on.
