sisters tarried in Los Angeles a few
days last fall and were heard at an in
formal studio reception given by Mrs.
Jones' s-SimmOns, and also following a

were guests of honor. The reception
accorded them by the musicians who
listened to their almost flawless en-
semble work was like an ovation, and
there Is no question that rare delight

portance of San Pedro Harbor
Justify Elaborate Precau-
tions Against Fraud

That special elections for the initia-
tive, the recall and the referendum will
cost less than the keeping in office of
crooked or inefficient officials is the be-
lief of Capt. Amos A. Fries, who, in All
address at the University of Southern
California yesterday discussed the sig
nificance of San Pedro harbor and the
power of Los Angeles, through the re-
call, TO safeguard its interests against
corrupt officials.
"By means of the recall any unfaith-
full official who has been elected to Of
flee may be dismissed by a majority
vote of the people, said Capt. Fries.
"This, in my opinion, is a most valuable
law and should be even more far-reach-
ing than it is, so as not only to remove
the unfaithful official elected by the
people, but any unworthy man whom
the latter may have appointed to Of
fice.''
Capt. Fries pointed out that first class
harbors are the worlds clearing houses
and that San Pedro has not only an
abundance of anchorage room, but also
space for almost twenty miles of
wharves along government harbor lines,
not counting slips or the Long Beach
harbOr.

Present Prospects For a Peach
Crop.
Cr0p.

From reports received by the State
Board OF Horticulture from sixty.
three counties it is shown that the
prospects are yet good for big crop
OF peaches this year. There are
about three critical stages In the
peach crop. The first Is the danger
from winter-killing, the second, late
spring frosts and, third, the brown
rot which Is liable to attack the fruit
just as 1t is ripening.
The winter has killed most OF the
fruit buds so far as the liberia and
similar commercial varieties are con.
cerned, In a great majority OF the
counties, but the few counties, viz,
Howell, Oregon, Ripley, Shannon
and St. Louis, which yet show from
80 per cent to 95 per cent of live
buds, are the famous peach counties.
In fact it is probably safe to say
that there are more commercial
orchards In these five counties than
In all the rest OF the state put to.
gether. so that 1t is clear II they show
q full crop that the entire state can
be supplied with peaches and also
many car loads shipped out.
From scattering and Incomplete
reports received It appears that there
will be little fruit north Of Missouri
River except seedlings.
In making up this report Seeding
peaches we're not included because
they cut no figure In the fruit mar
ket.
1t is not generally realised that q
fair sized peach tree In good condi-
tion has from 5000 to 10000 fruit
buds and therefore 20 per cent to 80
per cent found alive would make q
full crop, !. e., the number Of peaches
q tree can ripen perfectly. II ap-
pears that q number Of counties have
from one-tenth to x OF q crop In sight
butit should remembered tina ttrees
bearing light loads will mature tho
fruit unusually we'll and hence wo-.,d
bring as much money as q larker ,,
cent Of q full crop.
