The development of the petroleum
fields during the past fifteen years has
been of the utmost importance to the

solved the problem of cheap fuel; 1T
supplanted the use of high priced coal
to produce power for railway locom o.
tives and it brought great wealth to
many companies and individuals. Los
Angeles has long been recognized as
the center ,of oil interests on the Pa
cific coast. Within distance Of TWEEN,

WONDERFUL is CALIFORNIA
Strawberries All the Year Round"
Is One of the Blessings
of This Season

The strawberry finds a congenial
home in California. There are locali-
ties which favor almost continuous
growth and one may have strawberries
upon his table every month of the year.
Even in places where areas are given
up to the cultivation of the strawberry,
and where the summer crop prevails,
the bearing season is much longer
than in the eastern states From cal
ofornia Fruits" by Prof. e. ]. Wick
son, we extract the following para
graph:
Strawberries all the year round is
the trite expression by which the
charms of the California climate are
characterized. 1t is no fiction, for in
the wonderfully even climate of regions
adjacent to the coast and in thermal
belts in the interior. ithe strawberry
plant blooms and bears almost contin-
uously, providing proper moisture con-
ditions are maintained in the SOIL"

ard Fruit Crops for
Investors

Pomona Review. A few days ago an
especially choice carload of Southern
California navel oranges sold in New
York at $3.50 box. other lots of par
ticularly fine fruit have been selling,
during the last two or three weeks, at
prices approximating $500 a box. Not
only navels, but all other varieties have
been commanding extremely high fig
ures in the eastern markets.
No wonder that our orange growers
are happy. What other agricultural
crop in the United States of equal cost
to cultivate can show any approach to
the profits derived from citrus fruit
culture? Figure the net product of a
carload of oranges at S5 a box. There
are 1862 boxes in a standard carload. AT
So a box that would bring a gross re-
turn of $3.50. Allowing for eighty trees
to the acre and two boxes to the tree
in grove six years old one acre would
produce 100 boxes which at So each
would yield a total of $500 gross A
ten-acre grove, of course, would return
$4,000 at the same rate, Lump the cost
of picking, packing, transportation and
sale at $1.50 a box, and the remaining

an acre.
Red Letter Season
Such prices are very rare, of course,
and calculation on the basis of them
is interesting only as showing extreme
possibilities of profits in orange culture.
This year has been favorable for the
industry and the eastern demand for
oranges has been exceptionally strong.
1t is a red letter season in the ex-
perience of Southern California orange
growers that now is nearing the end,
except for late varieties.
But no other standard crop raised IN
the United States is so reliable and SO
uniformly profitable as the orange CROP
of this section. Such thing as com
plete crop failure, as so frequently hap
pens in other lines, never has been
known here. Within the twenty-five or
thirty years of commercial orange pro-
duction in this section there never has
been a year when the crop on the
average did not yield a fair profit to
the producers.

NEW POSTOFFICE
NOW IN SIGHT
INCREASE IN Los ANGELES
POSTAL RECEIPTS
Business Of the Local office Has
ouadrupIed Since Appropriation
Was Made for the New
Federal Building

The contract has been let by the
treasury department TO a Seattle firm
for the immediate erection of the new
postoffice building in Los Angeles, the
ornate structure Of stone and steel to
occupy the old Downey lot on the
northwest corner Of Spring and Tenn
pie streets. The government appro-
prlation for the Improvement was ST.
100000, to which amount will be added
the proceeds of the sale of the old
postoffice site on the southeast corner
of Main and Winston streets. The esti-
mated value of the lot is about 5000, 900.
The rapid growth of the postal busi-
ness in Los Angeles, due to the in
crease of manufacturing and CONNER
cial business and the steady increase
in population, has caused Postmaster
M. H. Flint and business men gener-
ally to urge the government to push
the work of erecting the federal build
ing.
Increase of Postal Business

the 1900 census (102, ,479) and the postal
receipts for the year ended June 80,
