The Matter of JoIts.

The Massachusetts Supreme Court
has decided that street car jolts do not
prove contributory negligence on the
part Of the motorman. This seems to
leave the field wide open for the jolters.
The motorman if of a revengeful or
playful disposition can jolt the very
socks off his accomplishing load-for
what's the good of complaining in the
face of the Massachusetts precedent?
Some time ago a passenger on the
Wade Park lire happened to let his
gaze wander to the heaving floor of
the car.
"Sir," he said between jolts to the
man opposite him, "your false teeth ap-
pear to have been jolted out Of your
mouth and onto the floor Of the car"
"Sir," said the unfortunate passenger
as he took fresh grip on the edge of
the seat, 81 am well aware of the un-
pleasant fact. Don't you see that /
am sitting here waiting for that brute
Of motorman to jolt 'em back againv'
AS they say in the higher institutes of
learning, wouldn't that jolt your

Every day now there is recurrence
of complaints of shortage of cars, and
as has been intimated would probably
result, the average shipments are
forced below the estimated capacity
of the railroads of $50 carloads a day.
The maximum capacity of the roads
for the next thirty days is believed
to be $500 carloads of citrus fruits,
whereas there should be shipped about
5000 carloads. The great crops of cit
rus fruits should be disposed of rap
idly, now that the fruit is at it's prime,
and the time will son be at hand when
there will be additional charges for
refrigeration of the fruit in transit,
which is not now necessary

EARL FRUIT DEAL IS CONsUMMATED
Sacramento Men Elected to Directorate at
Meeting in Los Angeles

The Earl Fruit company deal is
consummated, having been brought to
close in this city Saturday night.
Mr.. Earl has disposed of his interests
in the Fruit company, as he has also
retired from the Continental Fruit Ex-
press. 1t is claimed by those who are
familiar with the details of the trans
action, that he steps out Of active busi-
ness with cool million in his pOck-
cts, the profits of active participation
in fruit growing, shipping and trans
portation since the days when the in
dustry was of trifling importance.
He is succeeded by men who have
great capital, and who have been iden-
titled with large interests in Northern
California. The personnel of the new
company is not made public in full,
but the new directors of the Earl Fruit
company give some light on the char
acter it will assume in the future. This
directorate elected in Los Angeles Fri
day evening, consists of VIM. e. Ger
ber, cashier of the California State
Bank at Sacramento; Hon. Fred Cox,
president of the same company; Cal
vim w. Clark, formerly extensively en-
gagged in the cattle business; Adolph
IISlIUIOu, lOIluCIIy ID WuOlCSdI6 UuICA-
er and extensive land owner in the San
Joaquin valley; and George B. Katz-
enstein, formerly treasurer of the Earl
Fruit company and for years widely
known througout the state as high
official Of various fraternal organiza-
tions.
The new men of the Earl Fruit COM
pany have been associated with the
prime movers of several colonization
projects and large Industrial affairs
in the Sacramento valley, and are cred
tied with possessing several millions
of dollars among them.
The question of relationship of the
new Earl Fruit company to the Porter
Fruit company or to the car lines is
raised in many quarters, but the new
men deny any afiliation either with
other fruit companies or car lines, and
about the only basis on which suspi-
cions are based is the sale of the Earl
car lines to the Armours, who have
long been considered especially friend
| ly to the Porter Fruit company, Mr.
Earl's principle opponent in the de-
ciduous fruit trade.

Fresh Fruit Prospects

Delays in transit have cost Califor-
MIA shippers large sum already. In
numerous instances cars have been
delayed from four to ten days, with
the market dropping all the time, and
the price realized when they did ar
rive much lower than it would have
been when they were actually lue.
More than dozen cars shipped 10 one
firm were affected in this way. Com
plants do not seem to make any diff
ference. The delays still continue.
One effect is to take the bloom off the
fruit, so it doesn't appear as fresh as
when it comes through on time.
Eleven days is about the average speed
provided there are no stops, but most
oranges now arriving are from twelve
to twenty days on the road. Some are
entirely spoiled while others do not
show up well. The six-day service de-
manded by fresh fruit growers in Cal
ifornia meets the approval of all re-
ceivers. The shortened service would
greatly facilitate business, and might
possibly make the difference between
profit and loss on a good many ar
ticles.-New York Commercial

Where land is so valuable that every
square inch represents dollar or more,
business blocks must go into the air in
stead Of spreading over the ground. By
the old method of building it would be
hard to carry a structure higher than
five or six stories, unless the walls were
made as thick as fortress. So a man
with an Imagination struck out u new
method, embodying in steel an idea that
Is working a revolution in the business
centers Of cities. Like other wonderful
developments of recent years, the sky
some it may seem commonplace. Yet
George A. Fuller, the designer Of it,
was only forty y-nine years old when he
died In Chicago the other day. Indeed,
it is only a few years since the i'm
provement in elevators made it possible
to rent offices ten or more stories above
the street; and almost simultaneous
was the decline in the price of struc-
tural steel to a point which enabled
builders everywhere to gain the ad-
VduIdScS OuClcu Ny lAC
construction. Chief of these is the fact
that a sky-scraper may be carried to
almost any altitude, like the st. Paul
building in New York, which is twenty
six stories high and rises more than
three hundred feet above the street
level. Such a building yields an enor
nous rental. There are no massive
walls to reduce the rentable space.
Tenants willingly pay high rates for
the light and airy offices. The structure
shelters as many persons as a whole
township, and it provides facilities and
conveniences few towns could afford
Whether the steel skeletons will ulti-
mately corrode and crumble, time will
tell. At present we know the sky
scrapers are practically fire-proof, and
seem beyond the power Of any recog-
nized agency Of destruction. If it shall
prove that the designer Of them did not
build for the twenty-first century, it
must at least be admitted that he
served his own generation well.

CLARK MAY NOT BE SEATED
Another Protest Filed Against Him in
Senate

Washington, March .-Senator-e
w. A. Clark, of Montana, will not be
permitted to take his seat in the upper
branch of the federal government If
the allegations contained in the pro-
test filed with Senator Chandler of
New Hampshire, and which will be
presented to the senate on March 4,
are proved.
This protest has been filed by H. R.
Knapp of Helena, representing the Ia
Dor party out there and by interests
prominently identified with the Stand
ard Oil company.
1t is alleged that Clark's personal
contribution in the recent state cleo
ton was between $25O,0OO and $780,
900, whereas his sworn statement as
the money contributed for campaign
purposes places the sum at 100000;
that Clark throughout the entire state
campaign paid the personal and living
expenses of every member of the DEM
ocratic state committee; that Clark
spent 100000 in Silver Bow county,
$4,000 in Cascade county, $500 in
Dawson county to elect Senator Cullen,
$4,000 in each of the following coun-
ties: Granite, Jefferson, Broadwater,
Beaver Head, and Madison.
1t is reported on good authority that
Charles Clark. son of the senator
elect, is one OF those who are opposed
to his fathers admission to the senate,
the father and son having fallen out.
The explanation offered for this is that
Charles Clark, who is a very wealthy
mine owner in his own right has been
fO nf To- Nd
Oil or Amalgamated Copper interests
which may make him president of the
Amalgamated Copper company.

Eminence Honored

The world has always honored emil
nence. At first it was the strong man,
then fighters, generals and kings. In
later centuries honors came to poets,
philosophers, painters, sculptors, his
torians and statesmen. In time great
inventors and scientific discoverers
found places of honor among the great
ones. The time draws near when the
first rank will be accorded to men of
great scientific attainments in develop
ing and perfecting products of the soil
and in breeding better herds and fowls.
We have learned already the propriety
of honoring eminence in medicine, sur
gerry, engineering, electricity, ship
building, mining, transportion, and
armament and otter reward such emf
nence with great wealth; and we have
even applauded the saying that he who
makes two blades of grass grow where
one grew before is a benefactor of the
race. 1t will not be long now till we
know how to honor and reward him
who finds a way to increase five or
ten fold the value and relish of the
product of the orchard and farm.
