The American lemon industry has
become permanently established on a
firm foundation within the last few
years, the seasons since 1904 having
proved unusually profitable. II com

years II was question whether II
would become established permanent

OF lemons would continue to be de-
rived. as In the past. from foreign
sources.
The lemon is grown In the citrus
fruit belt of California, where at the
present time the annual production Is
from 5000 to 1000 carloads. which
represents approximately 100,000.OOO
pounds, or from one-thlrd to two-fifths
Of the total quantity used in the
United States. There are imported

growers had to learn about the hand

soon pass into the ownership OF the
limited States and thereafter become
most important part in the scheme
that plans TO make the United States
military academy, already the worlds
greatest military training school. an
even greater institution.
That II is OF vital importance to the
United States that Constitution island
be acquired there is no doubt In the
minds of those familiar with the situa-
ton. Gen. Schofeld, when he was
superlntendent OF the military acad-
envy. suggested that the government
acquire title to the property at the
earliest possible moment and that on
its magnificent rocky emlnence there
be erected series of buildings, ar
chitecturally harmonizing with those of
West Point proper, where the boys Of
this country, so fortunate as to re-
celve appointments to cadetshlps at
West Point, might report in order to
be properly prepared for their en-
trance into the academy proper.
In other words, the scheme of Gen.
schofeld was to establish on this is
land, which is so close to West Point
that you can throw a rock from one
pl.ce to the other, the United States
preparatory school to West Point,
which was TO be as perfect in its own
sphere as the West Point Of to-day is

convenes a determined effort will be
made to have the purchase price of
the island, which is between $l50,00O
and S250,000. included In the military
academy bill, and there is every
reason to believe that the action OF
congress will be favorable.
The preparatory school idea is the
one that is uppermost in the minds OF
the officers who are interested In the
future of Constitution island, and that
such a school will fill long felt need
at West Point and result in the trsin
ing of an even better lot OF officers
