IHE CANTAL0UPE
 CONTRACT
full Text of Agreement Between U CentrO CantaIOupe Growers and
 H. Woods


 tered into by the Ej Centro Canialoupe Growers Asscc;auon and the firm ot H Woods. the great Chicago commis- sion merchants. fer ,he handling and distribution Of her oarta.oupe crop ourng the coming season. This IS by far the best contact that has ever been made by any association in the valley from the growers staropoint. It provides a cash payment upon the delivery Of the cantaloupes that Is sui hcrent to meet all outlay that the grow CT will be under. In fact. a good many express the opinion that as f. O b. proposition the contract is a per fecty safe ore for the growers as can taloupes can be produced at a profit for the amounts. Mr. Woods advances upon their delivery at the packing house. All the other features are 
 equally as attractive. The provision for telegraphic returns upon every car load sold IS a feature that will be ap- preciated. too. The growers will there by be kept informed as 10 the prices received and what their returns will be tn every shipment In this way every transaction will be "in the open and the growers can tell just what is. going on all the time. The new contract contains none of the objectionable tea- lures of the Lyon contracts and its ef- feet will be that the full one thousand acres provided for will be planted5. oy the Fl Cenro growers and that every one will take the very best of care of his cantaloupe field. The effect this will have upon the volume of business in this town will be very marked. One thousand acres of cantaloupes should produce at least 100000 crates. Al least $6O.OOO will be paid to the grow CTS right here at the shipping shed when tie cantaloupes are delivered. < The larger part of this will be paid out 2to laborers immediately and no doubt practically all of it will be put into the channels of trade almost at once. This one industry alone would make Fl Centro a booming business town during the cantaloupe season next summer.
 The Fl Centro growers are very much elated over their good fortune and everyone proposes to put in all he can handle to advantage and to take the very best care of them the coming season. With the cantaloupe business established on such a firm and profit able foundation there will naturally be a rapid rise in the value of lana clcse 10 town. Of course cantaloupes can be grown and hauled several miles to the packing house, but the closer in it Is located the less the job of hauling amounts to. Under the contract the Fl Centro growers now have the lands near town are worth at least $25O per acre for cantaloupe growing alone. As is always the case, Fl Centro has the best of 1t all around. A study of the following contract will make clear the many advantages our cantaloupe grow CTS will enjoy. Read 1t over, ther come to Fl Cetro and raise canta' loupes. The full quota of 1000 acre: is being rapidly signed up, but there i' a chance for you if you act quicF enough.

REBUILDING SAN FRANCISCO.
Activity in Construction Operations
Continue in the City.

There We're ninety-nine building
contracts filed during the week in San
Francisco, representing an aggregate
expenditure OF s1,122,35O the bulk of
which will be expended in the burned
district on permanent improvements.
The work Of reconstruction is steadily
broadening out, and almost every
week shows a. noticeable better1nent
in the class of buildings, particularly
in the downtown districts. The work
OF demolishing the walls of the Pal
ace Hotel is making rapid progress,
and from present indications the site
will be cleared for building operations
before the expiration of the time limit
In. the contract. The big reinforced
concrete building, three stories in
height, which covers the entire block
OH the east side of Davis street, from
California to Pine streets, extending
down the first named street nearly t.,
Drumm street, and with 4. long front
age on Market street. is attracting
considerable attention. 1t is the larg-
est structure or the kind in process
Of building in that part or the city,
and will be ready for occupancy in
side Of three months. s. -
The class OF buildings now being
erected in the Chinese quarter is far
superior TO any Of the structures
there prior to the Are. The section
is being well built up. and many sub
stantlal buildings are. nearly. com -
pleted. Northsrly toward North
Beach the progressive spirit or pro.
perty owners is observable on all sides.
The chief need Of this portion OF the
city at this time is better car service,
and as. soon as It is provided, the lo-
cality will become one Of the most sc-
tive In the city.
There is one quite substantial struc-
.ture nearing completion in Chinatown.
1t is the property of Samuel Dugen-
berry, who is having a three-story and
basement brick building erected on
the west side OF. Dupont street. 500
north from Washington street. The
entire front is Of white pressed brick.
Two stories will occupy the ground
floor, and the two upper floors will
contain :2S rooms. The building has
been leased for a term Of ten years at
q total rental of $500.

The increase Of 274,0o0 in the popul-
alton of Belfast, therefore, is $4,000
less than the decrease in the three
adjacent counties by the aggregation
of whose manufactures to itself with
in the period Belfast has contrived to
expand. That is Ulster progress. The
Statist is exhorted to use it's influence
to bring about a better feeling in the
country. 1t would, in the first place,
address itself to the people of North
Eastern Ulster: There there is a liv-
ing industry, even though It does no
more than hold it's own.' There there
is accumulated wealth. There there is
skill and resource.
If. then, North Eastern Ulster will
change its tone towards the rest of
Ireland, hold out hand Of brother
hood, and help it along both with cap
ital and with leadership in the path
Of industrial development, We may
hope for great achievements in the
early future. Unfortunately, up to the
present, the temper of North Eastern
Ulster has been anything but brother
ly in regard to the rest of Ireland;
and even in this letter on which we
are commenting it will be noted that
our correspondent, a leader of enter
prise in Belfast, who holds q great po-
sition in that great manufacturing
center, talks Of the famine as bless
ing in Disguise
The Statist is shocked at such a des-
scription of "one Of tho most appalling
calamities that has ever fallen upon a
civilized country especial
ly because .there was no difficulty in
saving the people," Even yet the
writer fears there is too much of the
old feeling in Ulster, "a feeling very
much akin to that which at present
animates the whites Of the Southern
States of America in regard to the
blacks" as described by G.. HI. Wells
in his work on '"The Future in Amer
ica."
The Ascendency party in Ireland
profess that they alone know. the ooun-
try. ''They were taken at their word
too readily in Great Britain. Their
spirit, in consequence, has had too
much influence upon the Irish Govern
ment, and a pretty kettle Of fish they
have made Of it. Our advice. then, to
our Ulster friends is simply to remein-
ber that, for better or Tor worse, th.y
must live with the rest Of Ireland;
that, if they choose, they can contin-
ue the old hatred and strife; but. that
if they act like business men, they can
improve the condition of Ireland, in =
crease its wealth, raise the standard Of
living Of its people. and give it what
it never hitherto has had-an oppor-
t,lnity to attain great prosperity" This
correct appreciation; of the North
East corner is beginning. The truth
about Ireland will show all the more
clearly as q result. -:
