about ten per cent, and an increase
of about 30 per cent. in the shipments
of plums and prunes. The shipment
of grapes shows a slight increase in
the eastern demand.
The output of raisins is estimated
at 96,000.000 pounds; that of 1901 was
150,000,000, the largest of any crop
in the history of the state. The out
put of prunes is estimated at 100000
600 pounds; that of 1901 was $780,
900 pounds. The prune crop of 1900
was 100, 100000 pounds. While the
raisin growers have received good
prices, and are working in harmony
with the wine makers, the Prune
Packers association has become dis
rupted, and growers closed out for
what they could get. The growers
had agreed to sell only to the original
packers, and the packers agreed to
buy only from the organized growers.

buildings in the city. builders fearing
the effects of earthquakes. But as
lots became more valuable. the build
ings rose higher and were put upmuch
stronger.
The city authorities are eudeavoring
to Improve" the Chinese quarter out
of existence, or rather move it to the
suburbs. 1t is proposed to tear down
the rookeries and shanties and widen
the streets, after condemning the
property for hatpurpOse. Chinatown
is about eight blocks square and is en-
croaching upon the American quarter
on three sides, and has absorbed part
of the Mexican quarter on the north
side. This was, originally. the buSi-
ness part of the city, but as the city
extended toward the bay by filing in
lots, the merchants moved in that di-
rection, and the Chinese occupied the
deserted business houses, some Of
which have stood for half q century.
/ In this quarter was built the first brick
house in the city, the bricks for which
were brought from New York on a
sailing vessel. 1t is now tenement
| house, occupied by about 500 Chinese.
! Property in this section has become so
! valuable within the past year that it
! looks as if the "Chinese must 90" to the
suburbs and there build another
"Chinatown." But they prefer their
present business location. They do
an immense trade with the Caucasians,
most of which they would lose if they
were pushed back out of the business
streets. Property owners who rent
to them will make a legal fight against
this Renaissance, and the Chinese
will aid them. 1t will be long and
stubborn legal battle.
The removal of these 10000
Celestials from the very business
center would be great tinan~
cial benefit to the city, and would
largely increase the values of adjacent
property. especially the residential
property on the west. Dwellers in
that section must come through
Chinatown to reach their places Of
business, and so must those who live
in the southern and northern parts
of the city. The Chinese quarter may
be called our Middle Kingdom" con-
sidering its favorable and command
ing location. If the movement shall
be successful. it will ibe the first in
stance of the kind-the removal of a
"colony" of about 10000 people from
the heart of a city 20 its suburbs. and
against their will. On the sites Of
these rookeries will arise brick build
ings, with modern improvements. and
perhaps several ''sky-scrapers." From
the most thickly populated, filthiest
and most immoral quarter of the city,
it will be changed into one of the most
beautiful and valuable. 1t will, in a
measure do away with much of the
gambling and opium smoking among
the white people, for Chinatown will
not be so convenient to them. They
are largely instrumental in maintains
ing Chinatown, and in its expansion.

10000. Within the past few years
orange orchards have been more ex-
tensively planted in northern Cali
fornia, and these are now bearing,
which accounts for the increased crop.
Heretofore, it has been held that the
southern part of the state was the
citrus belt" but it has been demon
strated that citrus fruits will grow
in the foothill sections-north as well
as south of the Tehachipi, tie so
called belt range. The orange Is as
secure from frost in the northern
foothills as in those of the south.
And also just as liable to be niPped
in the bud. The orange crop from
the north was marketed last year be-
fore New Years day, and sent to the
south the first ripe oranges OF the
season. This seems to be strange,
but it is owing, it is believed, to the
fact that the summers III the north
are not SO long and dry. and that
there is more strength in the soil,
whether irrigated or not. Attitude,
and not latitude, limits the growing
of citrus fruits, and until this fact
was learned the cultivation of these
fruits was limited to the lower levels
of southern California.
The lemon crop of 1912 was 1885
car loads. The crop was not profit
able, nor large, as our growers have
not reduced the cultivation of this
fruit to an exact science" nor pro-
yided for its necessary care and stor-
age. Most OF the larger and more
experienced growers have made salts
factory profits. While we supply the
markets west of Chicago, our growers
have not been able to profitably reach

were carried by the Gamers, conse-

and the labor of harvesting and IN

been more fortunate, but those of
