California Letter.

I have Just returned from an
"outing" OF nearly three weeks
about 10 miles from here across the
Sacramento river, in Deer creek
bottom. l employed my time pick
ing peaches and fighting mosquitoes
and malaria. What, malaria in Cali
fornia. Yes, plenty of 1t along the
Sacramento river and creek bottoms
almost equal to the swamps of
Southeast Missouri.
The peach farm [ was on is said to
contain 1900 acres. The orchards
are divided into five camps
American, two Chinese and one Jap
anese. The peaches on this ranch are
all sun-cured. This Is a fine body of
rich, black, loamy soil; very fine for
gardening and all under irrigation.
I am told that when the first plant
ing of peaches on the farm began
bearing some years ago, dried peach
es were worth 25c per pound, and
the owners were so enthusiastic over
the business that all the money they
could get was invested in land and
peach trees. For some years cured
peaches have been quite cheap;
wholesale price being 6 to 6!c per
pound. This year the crop appears
to be light in the cast and wholesale
prices are about Sc per pound. Any
way these enthusiastic peach grow
ers seem to have had more enthusi-
asm than financial ability. The
orchards and buildings are going
down and | am told there is a heavy
mortgage On the place; IN fact Il
Red Bluff bank has charge Of the
ranch this year and will probably
soon own it

as my observation goes, without

Several days of our sojourn on
this peach farm the weather was i'm
tensely hot, reminding US Of the APP
prOpriatc name of this state. This
state, as most readers Of this paper
know, formerly belonged to Spain
and California is Spanish word
and sounds very musical and attrac-
tive until we know the meaning Of
it, "Cali' is SAID to mean hot in
Spanish, and "fornia," furnace
California-hot furnace.
En- route to this Deer creek peach
farm we pass thru one of the finest
bodies of land in the Sacramento
valley; in fact, it would be hard to
beat in the state. This is the ranch
Of the late Senator Stanford-at
one time governor of California
which comprises several thousand
acres, and is still under the control
of Stantord's relatives. [ have
briefly referred to this place in q
previous letter. The vineyard on
this place is generally called 5000
acres, mostly wine grapes and are
manufactured into wine on the
ranch. AS much as 100000 gal
Ions Of wine are in the Stanford
cellars at once. There is also a
creamery on the ranch; over 200
head of Holstein COWS are kept on
the ranch to supply the creamery.
In Stanford's time a large number
Of fast horses were raised here.
The ranch is in Il hi gh state of cul-
tivation and requires a small army
Of men to do the work. Mongol-
ian help is mostly employed. 1t Is
stated by q Corning paper that it
will require 1900 hands this year to
pick and handle the grape crop.
Much Of the money made on the
Stanford ranch is used to keep up
the great Stanford University at
Palo Alto, Cal, one of the largest
universities in the United States.
But 1t is not much credit to Cali
fornia to have her largest school
endowed and run mainly on the
profits OF wire. Eina, the town
where this winery is run. is a small
village, still ] am told, it has I sa-
looms and is q place not calculated
to improve the morals OF the popu-
lation. Mongolians and white for
eigncrs predominant.
A great wine and brandy indus
try like the one carried on at VIna
would as naturally draw the "fot-
sam and jetsam"- only of Cal
ifornia but, ofiEurope as welI--as a
dead carcass would draw vulture.
1t seems to me the old time Califor-
mans in and around Corning should
move to Nina where they are likely
to get i2toNicants as long as they
want them. Here at Corning sa-
looms will probably be abolished in
few years.

people advance il regard to the

sometimes very fine looking ones.
that had rotten taste. Since com
ing here and seeing the cutting and
curing process, this is easily account
ed for Everything goes on the
trayinG boards on most Of the peach
farms here-rotten, halfrottcn, and
all. All peaches are trayed and
placed in close sulphur house for
about hours. Peaches that are
entirely rotten don't bleach much
with the sulphur, but they may be
partially rotten, and entirely unfit
to eat and still bleach out and look
good, put they are not. From in
formation l have with regard to
Missouri peaches, the crop is very
light, so there will likely be lots of
California peaches eaten by Missou
rians next winter. SO when YOU
go to your groceryman to buy
cured peaches from this state look
out for the rotten ones. Insist on
the best Or none; try few pounds
before buying many. AS [ have
said before, the Mieur is the finest
peach for curing grown here, and
if you buy first t-grade Mieurs you
are apt to get good fruit. I visited
one of the Chinese "camps" on this
ranch twice, where there are per-
hads, 40 or so Chinese, few white
people and a few Indians employed
and | notice they cut rotten peach
es too. The Chinese really handle
fruit nicer and more carefully than
the American; most of the peaches
are washed before cutting; not so
with the "Melica" man.
Like the mule, the Chinese plod
along slow, but steady at work and
in the end accomplish rs much as
| the white man. One white man
| will jerk up Il 50-pound peach box
| and handle it, while two Chinese
do the same work Two white
men will handle tray of peaches
about = X feet, while four Chi
nese are required to handle the
same tray. 1t appears that the
Chinese will not work poor land,
but 90 to the rich bottom ranches
and work at gardening and fruit
farming, and seem to prosper in the
malarious bottoms where the white
man can hardly live. One cause OF
| chilis and fevers in the bottoms is
! the bad water one has to drink;
here the Chinanan has the advan-
| tage Of us, for instead of drinking
| water, he drinks tea. In boiling the
water to make the tea the germs of
the'disease are supposed to be kill
ed. The other day I was out in a
| peach orchard where there were Is
or 20 Cinnamon gathering peaches.
noticed a large cofiecpot that
would hold probably gallons, nm
| der a peach tree; ] inquired what
was in the pot, and was told that
it contained tea, and invited to
take some, which [ did, bnt it seem
ed rather insipid to me and it took
little to do me. While the Chinese
are a great tea-drinking people, l

ABERDEEN COOPER STOCK IN The
EASTERN MARKETS.
6. p. Cierin, of the Western Cooper
age Company, AdvertiSeS Aber-
deem Products and Has a Very
Successful Eastern Trip. Sells a
Train Load in New York,

Among the callers at the Journal office
this month was q. 2. Clerln, secretary
and treasurer OF the Western Cooperage
Co., whose main Offices are now at Port.
land, Oregon, having recently been
moved there from Aberdeen, Washing.
ton.
From the advertisement in the Jour.
nal, which has appeared there for four OF
five years past, it is learned that these
Western gentlemen are not only large
coopers, but are also extensively engaged
in the manufacture OF white spruce
slaves and headings for lard, syrup, vine-
gar, fish, pickles, and fir slaves and
headings for oil, alcohol, lard, oleo,
pickles, vinegar, cider, provisions.
For long time the railroads coming
East refused to accord the lumber rates
to the Western Cooperage Co., but il
was finally made plain to them that they
were standing in their own light by not
doing this, and as result they yielded.
The company then decided to test the
Eastern market for the sale of their
product, and Mr.. Clerin. who is q hus-
tier who knows his business, was dis.
patched eastward on this mission. II
may surprise some of our manufacturers
and dealers to know that he has found q
very encouraging business. and he was
frank to cay that the advertisement in
the Journal served as fine introduction,
as in many OF the Offices where he called
he was met with something like this
"Oh, yes; We know about you people, as
we have seen your advertisement in the
National Coopers' Journal for a long
time."
A glance through Mr.. Clerin's order
book showed Us that he had sold stock
as follows:
Omaha, slaves and headings of spruce
and fir for oil, lard and pickles.
St. Paul, spruce and fir slaves tor
sauer kraut, pickles and cider.
Green Bay. Wis.,. spruce stock fol-
sauer kraut and pickles.
Chicago, spruce slaves and headings
for pickles. oleo and sauer kraut.
Bay City, Mich, spruce stock for salt
fish.
Rochester, N. Y, fr and spruce pickle
barrel stock.
Syracuse, N. Y fir and spruce pickle
barrel stock.
New York and Jersey City, trainload
of spruce and fir stock for syrup, fish,
pickles, etc.
Townsend, Mass, spruce stock for fish
and pickles.
Boston, Mass. fir stock for oleo and
pork.
Gloucester, Mass. spruce slaves and
headings for mackerel barrels.
The Journal was greatly surprised at
this showing, as, if the Western Cooper
age Co. can sell stock on 5O.cent Chi.
cago freight rate in competition with our
Southern manufacturers, they will soon
have to sit up and take notice. IN National
