A good test of a mans Christianity
is to examine his apple barrel from
top to bottom.
A man may be a good woodchoppel
but that is no sign that he knows how
to prune trees.
An ak and a saw in the hands Of an
ignorant man cause more damage to
the fruit crops of this land than all the
birds that are Matched.
Fruit sells best when properly grad
ed. The best will bring a better price
and the lower grades will generally
bring as good a price as the entire LOT
would if mixed.
For summer pruning Of trees the best
time is from the 18th of June to the
10th of July. just when the sap is run

PACIFIC COAST LOSER.
Transcontinental Shippers Claim Rate
Ruling Fatal to Oriental Trade.

San Francisco, July 2O.-The South
ern Pacific and Santa Fe railroads and
he Pacific Mail Steamship company are
preparing to have hearing before
he interstate commerce commission on
he question Of transcontinental rates
for goods shipped across the Pacific
ocean. The new rule of the commits
sion compels the railroads to charge the
same price for these goods as for any
other, whereas it had been customary
for the railroads to make this rate
cheaper to the steamship companies.
The information that the interstate
commerce commission has decided to
postpone until October the day on which
the rate would become effective, because
Of protest from Japan, has given the
railroads and steamship company time
to act.
The plea will be made to the inter
state commerce commission that steam.
RS travelling through the Suez cana
will get the trade if the transcontinenta
roads are not allowed to juggle rates
S they please The steamers chang,
heir rates often and quickly they say
nd if the American railroads are com
)elled to adhere to the published rat
hey will lose this oriental business.
