OLIVE GROWERS MAKE
FORTUNES AT REDLANDS
Are Reapine Benefit of High Prices
on Crops That Once Were
Deemed Risky Enter
prise

Not before in years have owners OF
olive orchards been receiving such ex-
.cellent prices for their fruit as thsy are
now obtaining, says the Rediands Re-
view. Where a few years ago any guam
-tity of the fruit could be bought as low
as $40 ton the same class of olives now
is bringing as high as $50 a ton on the
tree, while the prices pickle and deliv-
cred range from $40 to s85 ton. Some
of the very best qualities go much high n
than that.
The demand for good olives was never
better than at this time. The fruit Is to
be found In almost any quantity this
year, trees being loaded with heavier
crops than they have been for several
seasons. The brand that seems to be IN
greatest quantity this season is the Mis-
sion olive.
Local packers are busily engaged in
putting up fruit. ]. c. Kubias having
already put up 1900 gallons, with as many
more in process of picking. and about
1900 gallons of oil already made. Machin-
cry is being operated both day and night
to care for the great output.

requests for transferring their
children are pouring in upon SUI

doubt make some provision for
this peculiar circumstance and
take action in regard to the pres

Inspector of the condition of af-
fairs and ask him to hasten his

The matter of commencement

quired to settle the matter Many
and various requests have been
sent TO members of the board some

occasion and others radically
against the measure. The class Is
for the most part in favor of a
speaker owing to the difficulty
which has been experienced In pro-
curing proper works from the pub,

essays.
The idea of giving a play In
the auditorium of the High School
building at commencement time
has been abandoned.
The action OF the board will bs
closely watched by a number ol
