More About Fruit
Raising in Nevada and
Adjoining Counties

One Of the strongest reasons why
the fruit grower should select Ne
vada County for his home is that
fruit growing here is not an expert
ment. and this branch of industry
has proven a success in the past.
There are now thousands OF acres IN
orchards here that contain the
choicest varieties known or propagat-
ed. The ease and cheapness with
which one may become fruit
grower is not the beast attractive fea-
ture of this business A few hun
dred dollars will buy the land and
make the necessary Improvements
and an abundant reward is certain.
The climate, soil and topography OF
Nevada County are all propitious TO
the industry and the fruit raised in
this locality has wide reputation
for fine flavor and beauty, which is
no doubt due to the rich soil from
which they are produced, the sum
mers OF abundant length for the
growth. and the autumns long
enough for fruit to ripen perfectly.
Small fruits luxuriate here as no
where else and the day Is not far
distant when this will be one of the
greatest berry fields of the country.
Bnt a little way north and west OF Us

Special Cable to The Tribune.

PARIS. Nov. 1.-The people of
! France - a whole. Of course. are in
iuil sympathy with the gallant and he
roic Montcncgrins in their uneven fight
with the Turks. but tho latter are not
without their admirers. Pierre Lott
has written an cioducu, article in their
behalf, which is published here.
The famous writer recalls that in
1870 the Arabs sof Algeria, who had
reasonable complaints against France,
decided TO revolt. Blu, war broke out
between France and Germany. and they
contcutcd themselves by warning the
French. 1t vas only when peace was
signed that they rose against the
French.
Pierre Lott regrets that what he de-
scribes rs this noble example has not
been followed by the Balkan peoples.
Whatever may he their complaints
against Turkey, he considers that it IS
cowardly on their part 10 take advan-
tage of this country's S misfOrtunes, and
TO attack her from behind. lie COM
pares the Balkan states to hyenas, who
approach their prey knowing that the
latter is already wounded, and declares
that without them Italy would never
have triumphed over the "sublime OBJ
stinacy'' Of Turkey. Notwithstanding
her formidable naval guns.
For the honor of Italy Pierre Lott
wants TO believe that it is not she who
has fomented the Balkan rising. He
considers that Christian Europe should
have intervened. if only out Of respect
for the admirable hcrolsm OF the Turks,
and declares that the naction of Eu
rope Will remain blcmish on her his
tory.
What Europe has not DONE he
says, "perhaps free and disnterested
America will have the glory of doing
in her place. 4 few words Of Prcsi-
dent Taft's lead me to hope that Amer
ica thinks of proposing arbitration.
Whatever happens he adds, the
Turkish people by their resistance and
bravery have won the most beautiful
OF crowns, and ] believe that at the
bottom the large majority Of French
men are Of my opinion.
