ORANGE INDUSTRY
IS NO GOLD MINE
Growers Complain That They Are Pro-
ducing Golden Fruit
at Loss

QUARTZ, Cal, June 3.-Editor
Herald): There have been published In
several Southern California papers,
lately. articles setting forth how proht-
able an orange orchard is. / do not
know who it is that is writing these
articles; it cannot be anyone who is
engaged in orange growing. The ar
ticles referred to are not only mis-
leading, but are untrue. Take the
article published in the Times OF
May %, page II.
The Times writer states that the rail-
roads receive $4OO per car for freight
and icing or $11, 100000 annually, while
the grower receives $3.50 per car or
1000, 900 annually. How is it that the
railroads receive $1SO0,000 more than
the grower, while at the same time
they receive $50 per car less than the
grower? Such articles work great in
Jury to the orange industry
For the season of 1904 / had 100
boxes of oranges, for which L received
S1O75.0O or a little more than 63 cents
per box. For the season of 1904-5 had
1864 boxes, for which 1 have received
$642.2O or a little over 41c a box. Mine
is not an isolated case, as every men,
ber of the Duarte-Monrovia Fruit ex-
change received the same rate per box;
neither is it idle guesswork, for have
the statements of the exchange which
show the payments made for the fruit
delivered.
1t costs from 65 cents to 6S cents to
produce box of oranges, while we are
receiving from Al cents to 63 cents per
box for our fruit. How long do you
suppose the orange industry can hold
out at that rate?
Now for the railroads. on my crop OF
oranges, 1854 boxes, 1 paid $1S9S.6O to
the railroads for freight, while I re-

NOTED FOR WIT AND BEAUTY

Special Cable to The Herald.
ROME, June 3.-Mrs. Edward Parker
Deacon. who also calls herself Mrs.
Baldwin, and her daughter, Gladys,
rival each other in exciting the admira-
tton of the Italian nobility by their
beauty and wit.
Mrs. Deacon has rented the Palazzo
Borghese, and was introduced to the
exclusive Doria family by Minna, Lady
Anglesea, formerly Miss King of New
Orleans. For some unknown reason
Lady Anglesea and Mrs. Deacon are
no longer on speaking terms. The
Prince Doria is reputed to he an in
fatuated admirer of Mrs. Deacon.
Princess Doria is a sister of the duke
of Newcastle devoted to religious and
charitable work, and. like Mrs. Deacon,
a convert to Catholicism.

VETERAN CHIEF
DENIED PENSION
FIRE COMMISSIONERS TURN
DOWN STR0HM
WAS NO PUBLIC DISCUSSION
After Nearly Thirty Years Service
and Suffering From Injuries, Ex-
Chiefs Application Is
Denied

The board of fire commissioners,
after months Of lodging. denied ex-
Chief of the Fire Department strohm's
application for pension yesterday.
This action was taken at the close Of
an executive session lasting an hour, it
being the last Of many which had pre-
ceded it. The commissioners filed SOL
emnly out of the inner sauctum and
took their seats The clerk read the
application for a pension. The repre-
sentative of Thomas Strohm said that
his client had refused to submit to any
more examinations. he having been ex-
amined by five doctors. three of whom
declared he was physically incapaci-
tated and the other two agreeing that
he was in i'll health.
At the last meeting Mayor McAleer.
who is considered by many to have
been the chief mover in the ousting
of the former chief. who had for thirty
years faithfully served the city, backed
out of the controversy in a peculiar
way The mayor stated that he knew
there was a feeling among the people
that it would be an injustice to deny
the pension. and therefore he asked
to be excused from voting intimating
nevertheless that the application would
be turned down whether just or not.
Silently the commissioners sat each
fearing to take the plunge. Several
times the mayor asked, What is your
pleasure gentlemen" At last Commits
sioner Miller got up his courage and
moved the petition be rejected. This
was Immediately seconded by Commits
sioner Betouski. When the vote was
called, Commissioners Wren and Rob
inson voted aye with the former pair
Mayor McAeer's name was not called.
Thus the city of Los Angeles, through
its officials has refused to reward one
of the oldest, and if the records of the
underwriters prove anything, ablest
fire fighters in the country. The law
provides for the pensioning of firemen
at half pay when they have served a
certain length of time or are disabled
in the service.

TEMPERANCE AGITATION
MUST STOP SIX MONTHS
Law Provides Same Measure Cannot
Be Voted on Inside of
That Time

City Attorney Mathews has ruled
that temperance agitation along the
line of the ordinance which was so
overwhelmingly defeated Friday cam
not be considered again by the city for
six months.
The charter provides that an issue
lost at an initiative election cannot be
again called before the people at a
special election for six months.
The law makes it imperative TO hold
an election whenever a petition bear
ing the names Of 10 per cent of the
voters who cast their ballots in the
preceding general election has been
filed with the city clerk praying for
such an election, but the rule that one
special election shall not take place
within six months of another is in
serted.
There is no limit on the number Of
times one question may be called be-
fore the voters.
