ORANGE INDUSTRY ACTIVE
IN LA SIERRA HEIGHTS
One Thousand Acres of Citrus
Fruit Now Being Planted

One thousand acres of orange and
lemon trees are being planted by the
horticultural department of the Riv-
erside Groves and Water company on
it's La Sierra Heights tract at River
side.
This is all being put in for the benefit
of the company alone, and many other
owners of acreage in that tract are
putting in trees. The orange industry
in that locality is being carried on as
never before, many investors are be-
ing shown over the tract daily. and the
company's excursions from Los Ange-
les are being very well patronized.
The tract has been cut up into large
lots for country homes, as we'll as the
larger acreage for the growing of citrus
fruit.
u. S. Grant Hinton, the general sales
manager of the Riverside Groves and
Water company, reports the selling OF
acreage to Charles c. Fuller, the di-
vision superintendent OF the Interna-
tional Correspondence schools a plot of
ten acres. Mr. Fuller intends to plant
orange and lemon trees at once. James
r. France of Santa Maria has pur-
chased five acres which he will pro-
ceed to set at once into oranges and
lemons. Mr.. Hinton also sold to Nj. n.
Pratt of Santa Maria five acres to be
put into oranges and lemons.

TWO SPLENDID VALLEYS
ATTRACT CASH OF INVESTORS

Quietly but surely a combination of
capitalists and land owners have been
going ahead halfway between Los
Angeles and San Francisco, building
up a new town-a new harbor-new
roads and railroads. An astonishing
amount of work has already been done
and preparations have been made for
improvements that are truly stupen-
dous, which if carried out-and there
seems to be no doubt they will be
will we'll nigh revolutionize conditions
on the central coast of California.
The location chosen for all this work
is the natural outlet for that fertile
part of the Golden State which poets
as well as more prosaicly inclined have
all agreed on naming THE Garden
Spot of California" The San Joaquin
and Arroyo Grande valleys have but
one natural outlet to the Pacific ocean,
and a coast outlet with shipping fa-
cilities is an absolute necessity for the
merchants, farmers and producers in
these rich fields. Oceano Beach, as
this new place has been named, is
destined within the span of very
few years to occupy one of the fore
most places, not alone in the minds
of the Investors, but in the consldera-
tion of all those who seriously con-
slider California. 1t is hard to decide at
present whether the pleasure-loVing
summer Fesorters or the business com
munity. which is bound to locate here
will develop most rapidly.

For Young or Old This
Year Is the Prospect. !.
Worcester Factory With Al
most Entire Output Burned.
Loss S300,000...SeveraI Narrow
Escapes, but All Will Live.

Worcester. Mass, Jan. 13.-The al
most complete destruction by fire early
today of the Whitney Valentine Cos
plant here. the largest in the United
States, with a loss of about 100000
means an almost valentineleSs ST. VAL
cntine's day for the country. Except
for the contents of several freight cars
which were barely pulled away from
the flames, the company's great output
was destroyed.
Although beginning at a late hour,
the flames imperilled a number of per-
sons. Warren Whitney, treasurer of
the company. and his wife, watching
the shipping OF stock on an upper floor,
made their way alone down three or
four flights of smoke clouded stairs to
safety. Their presence had been for
gotten by the score of workers who
had to make a hasty exit.
The engineer, John F. INLAND, after
seeing great clouds of smoke belching
out of the basement opening of the
elevator shaft sought ineffectually to
force his way through the wire grated
windows. Before help arrived he was
overcome and had to be dragged to
safety.
Three firemen were overcome by the
dense smoke, but it was believed at an
carly hour this morning that all will
recover
Fed by the celluloid, the entire build
ing of six stories. above the second
1loor was soon a mass of flames The
city's entire fire fighting forces could
not cope with the blaze. Several valu-
able machines and great amount of
finished stock We're destroyed Sur
rounding property was threatened,
particularly the Edward Shirt Co, but
the destruction was confined to the
Whitney building.
The Whitney Co.'S. building, an old
one. was of brick and six stories in
height. 1t was located at the corner
Ct School and Union streets. Save for
one plant in Germany. the Whitney
cos. factory was the worlds greatest
producer, making the majority Of val
ent'nes used in this country. 1t was
stated that nearly the entire produc-
ton for 1910 was still in the factory.
w. II. Cook, manager of the George c.
Whitney Co, said at 2 o'clock this morn
ing that the loss on stock and machinery
would be 100000, not including loss on
building.

Two New Cases Of Small Pox
And Another in Reading.
Reading Health Officials Close All
Schools in Town.

Wakefield, Mass, Jan. 12.-SOre arms
will be almost universal in this town
for the next few days. Following the
discovery of number of cases of
smallpox in Wakefield and the adjoin-
ing town Of Reading, the State Board
of Health today notified the employees
OF all the local factories that they must
bare their arms to the vaccinating
needle. Eight hundred girls at the
Harvard Knitting mills were the first
to submit to the operation and more
than 1900 other operatives will be
treated. 1t is expected that the school
children, numbering $500, also will be
vaccinated.
Ons more case was discovered today
in Reading, the patient being William
Carney, 46 years old.
The scare" in Wakefield was kept
alive today by the discovery Of two
new cases, the affected person in each
case being found at work in factory.
While there are many persons suspect
ed of being infected, the number &C
tually known to have smallpox IN
Wakefield is but seven and in Reading
1G. All the cases are Of mild nature.
Following action in this city of clos
ing several schools, the Reading health
officials tonight ordered all the
schools in that town closed and also
uuarantined the Public library for an
indefinite period. Steps are being taken
also for the institution of pest
house. In Wakefield many societies ana
orders have voted to hold no meetings
for a week, to lessen the possibility oil

Bottom Again Drops Out
OF Cotton Market.
Declines from Tuesdays Clos
ing Over $3.50 a Bale.
10 Change in General Trade Condi-
tions Accounts for Slump.

New York, Jan. 12.-There was a
day, making the third sensational
slump in prices since the movement
started early last week. Panic strick-
On longs in all parts OF the world
seemed to be liquidating their cotton
regardless of prices and the action of
the market was characterized by such
intense excitement and demoraliza-
ton as marked the series of sensation
al movements following the collapse of
the Sully boom.
For more than a year the cotton
market 3las been steadily advancing
and toward the end of last month
prices had reached q level which, since
jhe Civil War had only been equalled
when Sully was at the height of his
fame. March contracts sold at 1911
and May at 1916, but at the culminat-
'ng point Of today's decline March
contracts sold at 1880 and Nav at
4.1S, q loss from the high record of
from $I.S- to $40 per bale, almost all
of which has occurred during the past
week. The declines from the closing
prices of last night amounted to more
than $3.50 per bale.
There does not appear to have beer
any change in general trade conditions
to warrant the almost unprecedented
slump in prices. and in contrast with
the SullY year no financial difficulties
have been precipitated.
1t is apparent, however, that one af
ter another the big bull cliques which
were organized independently during
the big bull market have been liquid
ating. Possibly the selling movement
was originally due to an effort to OBJ
tain profits Oh long lines owing to tho
approaching new planting season anG
expectations of greatly increased area,
while the absence of any speculative
short interest left the market with
'terr little s-ipnort. tt was reported

Special Course co. of the War De-
partment for 1910 the number would
he less without the loan of rifles and
free ammunition. THE cost of service
ammunition is almost prohibitive to
civilian Shooters he said. Govern
rlents abroad furnish service ammu-
milton to rifle clubs at least at less than
half what it costs the government to
make, and if the United States is real
~ anxious to encourage rifle practice
among it's citizens it should provide a
way to furnish them with ammunition
at cost of not more than one cent
per cartridge He urged that the Ma
tional Guard authorities throughout
the country throw open their gallery
ranges for the schoolbOys and furnish
them with instructors and rifles to
practice with. During 1909. l01 school
boys qualified as Junior Marksmen.
