FRUIT GROWERS MUST CO.
OPERATE.


'sWe went very thoroughly also into
the question of markets for pineapples
We interviewed all the leading dealers
in New York and Chicago as well as
in San Francisco, declares in fresh as
well as canned fruits. There can be no
doubt that the market is large enough
for any quantity of pines that is likely
to be produced in these Islands for
good while to come. But we were most
forcibly convinced of the necessity of
doing here what the California fruit
growers found was necessary for them
to do after years of profitless and
demoralized production. There must
be cooperation in the transportation
and marketing of pineapples This CO.
operation must be for the purpose of
keeping damaged and inferior fruit out
of the market, and of directing ship
ment and consignments so that there
will always be constant and steady
supply without overstocking the mar
ket at any particular place or time and
thus demoralizing the trade and the
prices Something of that has already
happened in San Francisco. There
have been times when four to six
pound pineapples have sold in San
Francisco for ten and fifteen cents
apiece. Shippers ship without any
reference to the shipments of others to
the same market. The market is. glut-
ted and decentralization follows The
growers here must organize to see that
the fruit is properly packed, properly
handled, and that there is an equaliza-
ton between demand and supply.
The California fruit growers went
through several years of profftless |
production before they found that this !
was necessary. Now fruit growing I
there is a profitable and a growing |
business.

FRUIT TRANSPORTATION.

"While in San Francisco we con
ferred with the head officials of all the
steamship companies to induce them
to make such changes and arrangements
in their vessels as would secure proper
handling and proper ventilation of fruit
shipments, and, quite as important,
would make reservations of space on
their vessels so that shippers would be
sure of regular, constant, and sufficient
space for their shipments, and thus not
be put to the loss of having their fruit
refused shipment for want of room.
As direct result of these conferences
the Pacific Mail company is now seek
ing this business and is ready to make
provision for it in the way needed. The
changes in the Alameda to meet these
requirements have already been local
ly noted.

THE MONEY SHIPMENT.

The money stringency of last fall
was undoubtedly the severest since 1898
and in some respects was severer even
than that. The country has practically
recovered from the purely financial
part of the panic. But enterprise has
been so demoralized that industrial re-
covery must be slower, though that is
going on. Still it will take time for
industry to wholly recover.
The thing that struck me most for
chilly during my stay on the mainland,
was the astonishing progress that San
Francisco is making. 1t almost sur
passes belief. Within the mile limit
including the downtown business dis
trict the number of buildings of the
first class is astouned. Almost ev-
cry lot of ground is being built on
Tall buildings of first-class construction
are rising everywhere. Where the
Grand Hotel stood, a thirteen-story
building is being erected by bank.
The Palace Hotel is making good prog
ress. The First National Bank is erect
ing a fine building right opposite the
Croker National Bank San Francis
co is being rebuilt into an infinitely
finer town than it was before. It is a
bigger town than it was Nothing that

pressed me as this rebuilding of San

ROOSEVELT POPULAR.

Roosevelt is at once the worst
hated, and the most popular, man i'm
the country. He is hated by the rail
road men and other men engaged in
big business enterprises But he is
popular beyond belief almost, among
the average population The evidences
of his popularity are of the most vari-
GUS kinds. / was told that in a NOV
ing picture show in New Orleans where
the pictures of a number of popular
heroes were thrown on the screen, in
Guiding number Of Southern heroes.
1t was when Roosevelt s picture was
thrown on the screen that the enthu-
siasm broke loose and it was fully
five minutes before the manifestations
of 1t ceased. Incidents of this kind
are repeated everywhere. Hartman
and those who are working with him
were visibly making some Roadway in
their antagonism to Roosevelt, when
the latter sent his special message to
Congress. Instantly there was a
change. 1t could be felt. The whole
country rallied to Roosevelt. The cud-
gels he has taken up in behalf of the
working man have given him a strong
hold with them.
THIRD TERM POPULAR.
II should not be surprised if there
was such a demand for the renomina-
tion of Roosevelt that he would be
obliged to yield to it.
Hughes appeals intellectually to the
thinking and reasoning element. But
l could not discover that there was
any great wave of popular feeling for
him, and there certainly is not for

FOOD FRAUDS
Chicago House That Sends Out
Short Weight Packages is Fined
Fifty Dollars And Costs

A state pure food inspector tied up
a shipment of groceries from Chi
cago house at Marshall, Mimi, a few
days ago. Out of 80 samples of diff
ferent products only two met the re-
quirments of the pure food laws.
Everyone of the packages were short
weight
Complaint was made against the
Chicago house agent and upon plead
ing guilty he was fined $50 and
costs, amounting to $50.
This; remarks a Marshall news
paper, ''is the kind of stuff the cata-
logue houses sell to their country Gus
toners on the strength of advertis-
ing. If advertising will sell impure
and short weight goods, it will also
sell the pure and substantial art
icles."

LEAP YEAR INCIDENT
Lady Publisher in Iowa Proposes
Through the Columns of Her
Newspaper

Having lost the county printing,
to which she was justly entitled,
Miss Elizabeth Sohm, publisher OF
the Storm Lake, Iowa, Vidette, took
advantage of her leap year privilege
and proposed through her newspaper
in the following manner:
"a constant fight for what belongs
rightfully is wear and tear on the
nerves of any woman, and we have
come to the belief that in order to
stay in the newspaper business and
maintain our health we will have to
marry some good printer who can
do the fighting and swearing for us.
This is leap year, and may be consid-
cred as a proposal by anyone quail
fled to fill the vacancy so evident In
the Vidette office"
G. A. Craig, the bachelor editor
of the Lytton Star, believing that
a proposal of marriage, coming from
such a talented woman, could not be
turned down, has written his accept
ance. In the last issue of his paper
he says:
1--WE believe we are eligible to fill
the vacancy which Sister Sohm feels
exists in her print shop. We're
considered a good printer; and as
for our fighting qualities, suffice n
to say we came from family thai
kills. On the swearing propositloi
our pressfeeder says we'd be there
with the goods"

In Sank Centre the message was
quite generally commended and that
in no uncertain terms. Here follow
a few expressings of opinion given
for publication in The Herald:
Hon. John R. Howard.-This mes
sage confirms the opinion of the ma
jority of the American people that
President Roosevelt is the man fol-
the occasion.
Mayor J. w. Ward.-lt is character
istic of the man, full of good sense
and ought to be read by every voter
in the land.
j. F. Cooper.-The president Is
justified in putting it up" to the
manipulatOrs who have opposed his
policies. 1t is time to forget party
and to stand for what is right re-
CARELESS of partisan results.
c. M. Sprague.-President pledges
himself to a vigorous prosecution OF
his persistent purpose to secure hon
esty in the business of the Nation
To safeguard the rights of all the
people, rich and poor alike, is his
purpose, and he never penned a clear
er or Drawer message.
M. F. Woodbury. think the mes
sage strikes straight from the Shout
der. Congress needs just the kind
of prodding the president has given
it. The message bubbles over with
fairness.
Lucas Kells.-The message is all
right.
DR.. j. A. DuBois.-Roosevelt, al
most thou persuadest me to be a re-
publican.
G. A. MOrse.-I think every unpre-
JUDGED citizen, whether republican
Or democrat, will take pleasure in eX-
pressing his hearty approval of PresI-
dent RoOsevelt's recent message to
congress. Undoubtedly it will go in
to history as masterpiece for the
very able, just and aggressive arralgn-
ment of illegitlmate and oppressive
corporate powers and the plain and
logical remedies Indicated for the
present iniquities over which existing
laws have insufficient control.

SALISBURY COVE.

Mrs. Emma A. Rich, whose death At
Salisbury Cove, March S, has already been
reported in these columns, wss the daugh-
ter OF Samuel II. and Elizabeth (Cox)
Richards. She was born in Eden in 1s43,
and was married in 1887 to Samuel N.

Margaret, survives her.
The funeral services took place in the

to rest among the flowers" Her former
pupils OF the Emery district school, now
stalwart men and women in BAR Hsrbcr,
sent an exquisite wreath Of roses. Bay
view grange, 100 strong, wearing the
badge Of mourning, marched in double line
from the house to the church. They sepa-
rated at the church door and proceeded IN
the side aisles single file, each one deposit
ing flower on the casket.
Miss Margaret Koch conducted the
service. The choir rendered very effect
lively two selections -"Nearer, NV God. to
Thee, !" and Face to Face. Miss Koch
read Psurs triumphant message on the
resurrection, the wonderful description
OF the New Jerusalem and the comforting
words from John IA, .Let not your heart

beautiful lessons to be learned from the

Mrs. Rich was one of those whom to
know is to love. Such q sunny, genial
nature as hers is hard to find. MANY
years ago she became a Christian and
joined the Eden Baptist church. Rev. Mr..
Corthell baptized her. She always took
an active interest in the work Of the
church. The Sunday before she passed
away she attended the covenant meeting
in her church and gave earnest testimony
OF her faith. When such as she passes
away, the whole community is bereaved.
