II ARGE fruit crops, of most all
varieties in this state, and
scarcity of labor, and large
crops throughout the country, have
been disastrous for the growers and
shippers of fruits during the past
season. Some of the fruit scarcely
repaid freights, and much of ii did
not pay the cost of production, ex-
cepting the earliest shipments, and
the grapes, which commanded UNI
usually large pieces. Large quantities
were carried by the Gamers, conse-
quently they made "A small pack, com
paratively, and were very particular
as to quality and size. Dried fruits
averaged much smaller H. - the pre-
yious season, brought lower prices
and the labor of harvesting and in
canning costmore. Grapegrowershaye
been more fortunate, but those OF
the latest districts lost part of their
crops by rain. Generally speaking,
the deciduous growers were not pros
porous last year. The output, how
ever, was larger than that of the pre-.
vious year The total shipments we're
7,141 car loads, while the shipments
of 1901 were 6,459 car loads. OF the
shipments in 1902 New York received
,475 car loads, and Chicago 1901 ear
Goals. Pears were in greater demand
than any other variety Of fresh de
ciduous fruits, the total shipments
being 2,01l car loads; peaches, 1,777;
grapes, 1893, and plums and prunes,

an increase of about 25 per cent. over
that of the previous year There is a

about ten per cent, and an increase
of about 30 per cent. in the shipments
of plums and prunes. The shipment
of grapes shows slight increase in
the eastern demand.
The output of raisins is estimated

punishment TO shooting all afternoon
at target.
1.-The buck and gag was mode or
punishment used both in the infantry
and cavalry. A mode peculiar to the
cavalry was the 'hobBs-horse.' Men
who violated the discipline by leaving
camp without permission. stealing
hogs or chickens, or similar offenses,
were punished in this way. A pole
would be placed between two forked
sticks at one end and ia the crotch OF
a tree at the other, about ten feet from
the ground, and the culprits would
then be made to climb up and straddle
the pole. The elevated and constrained
position soon became very uncomfort-
able, but guard promenading up and
down saw TO ii that the offenders re-
NAMED on the hobby until their term
Of sentence had expired.
"A mode of punishment peculiar to
the infantry was the walking barrels
A string Of offenders would be placed
inside barrels, from which the two
ends had been removed. and their arms
would be poked through two holes near
the top. A file OF offenders thus capar-
isoned marching along with solemn
tread was a very comical sight. and
was always hugely enjoyed by the 9TH

skirmish with the enemy. in which he
was put 10 rout, body OF cavalry
drove some infantry out of cabin
and took possession. The two bodies
of men had previously had tilt or two,
and not the best Of feeling prevailed
between them. The cavalry belonged
to n New York regiment, and they
caught an infantry sergeant in the
cabin boiling nice, fat chicken. The
sergeant was tart in his replies to
questions, and the colonel OF the New
York cavalry ordered his men 10 pun
ish him by hanging him mp by tho

"The infantry quickly got an inkling
OF what was in the wind. and rushing
to arms speedily drew up in line. The
infantry colonel then marched up to

i90o-0i. Within the past few years
orange orchards have been more ex-
tensiyely planted in northern Cali
fornia, and these are now bearing,
which accounts for the increased crop.
Heretofore, il 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, the 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 in the north
are not SO long and dry, and that
there is more strength in the soil
whether irrigated or not. Altitude,
and not latitude, limits the growing
of citrus fruits, and until this fact
was learned the cultivation of these
fruits was limited 10 the lower levels
of southern California.

with another actor on Sunday after
moons. In those days the post was n
great rendezvous for visitors on Sum
days Nearly every one of the presi-
dents up to quite late date made a
habit of dropping in every now and
then on the barracks 10 watch guard
mounting or dress parade. President
johnson used TO come nearly every
Sunday take off his old silk hat and
sit on the steps Of the commandant's
quarters, and watch the drill. Then
there was an old bonanza king from
California, old Senator MacDougal,
who used TO wear sombrero chap
perajos, all the straight cowboy out
fit, and come riding in on his bronco.
Grant was also there a good part Of
the time, and Nellie Grant used TO
come TO all Of the dances, together
with Lizzie Porter and the Beall girls.
