Shipping Green Grapes.

FRESNO, Aug. 1.-Malaga grapes ~
| ard as bullets and entirely unfit to eat
are being shipped out Of this district 10
eastern markets. according to reports
made by green fruit men.
The shipping Of these grapes was
started by several firms not associated
with the California Fruit Distributors,
and now the firms with the Distribu-
tors are shipping, because Of the action
Of The other firms.
The desire to reach early markets re-
2ardlcss of the quality of the fruit is
said 10 have led to The shipment ot
NalagaS long before they are ready.
This fruit has been going out in small
lDie for the past two or three weeks.
II j. Just such tactics on The part OF
green fruit shippers that led to the Or
sanitation of a Standardization league
last year. Efforts We're made 10 shin 1uf
f"uit that was unfit to eat and an or
sanitation of the shippers was formed,
operating under "9entleman's agree
ment." After The season had advanced
Sufficiently to make further inspections
unnecessary the league dishanded aad
Immediately thereafter the green fruit
shippers began to accuse each other II
Violating the agreement.
When the question Of similar Or
-@nlZation was brought up this year
there We're practically no shippers VINO
wanted to enter into an agreement be-
cause they said some of the other shin
fcrs had secretly violated the agree
rIent last year.
Wires have been sent to eastern mar
kets telling of the shipment Of unripe
Malagas from This territory and it j.
probable that there will be a numbec

Wants Col. Fletcher.

san BernardinO Sun: San Diego, I'm
perial and Yuma enthusiasts threaten 10
raise The s25, 900 necessary and bridge
the Colorado river at Yuma. One bOos-
ter in particular. Col. Ed. Fletcher, of
san Diego. has started The fund with
check for 5000. fGur more Of this
KIND would complete it.
In proposing Tie various transcOn-
'ihcntal roads. bridges across the Col
Orado river are a necessity. Bills We're
passed at Sacramento apprOpriating
S2j 900 as CalifOrnia's One-third Of the
cost Of bridge at Yuma and an equal
sum for another at Needles. But the
governor turned thumbs down for
both Of them. In the meantime, it is
understood that both Arizona and the
government at Washington have ap-
prOpriated sums equal to those asked
from California.
In order to make sure Of the bridge
at uiId' III NliCh Iodu ilit San DiegdnS
are specially interested, it is proposed
to raise this S25,0O0 either by private
subscription or by county appropriation
trusting TO future reimbursement by
the state Of California.
Of course that suggests whether
anybody is willing 10 put up the s25,-
600 needed TO secure the Needles
bridge, on the line Of the national high
way. In view Of other outlay. a coun-
ty appropriation seems out Of the ques-
tiOn. But we confess that it makes us
wish we could steal Colonel Fletcher
at least long enough to have him raise
fund for the Needles bridge.

speaks in high praise of the cOnsdera-
tion shown them and Of the excellent
service
Then there i a great number of val

cialed.

way it is believed the time between
san Diego and FL Centre can be re-
duced TO about five hours, and with
such a convenience, the number Of peO-
Ple who will cross The mountains will
be legion. 1t is believed here that hun

To have the earth suddenly cave

about without moments warning
while You are quietly blowing the

experience But that is just exactly
what happened to Murray Grissom,

Mr.. Grissom was quietly blowing

thought that he. was not standing
firmly planted on terra firma when

The injunction was obtained Wed.

The bill maintains that the present

PRESIDENT PUZZLED
In APPOINTMENT
EQUESTiON OF WHO SHALL BE
INTERNAL REVENUE COL
LECTOR.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE
Wilson administration was
brought face to face with a difficult
problem In Tennessee patronage to-
day when Senator Lea and Represent
tative Sims OF the eighth district,
urged upon Secretary McAdoo the ap-
pointment of H. f. Graper, OF Lex
ington, as internal revenue collector.
Senator Shields has endorsed Capt.
w H. Hartford for this position. /.
Secretary McAdoo himself a for
mer Tennessean, feels personal in
terest in the situation and heard Sen
ator Lea and Representative Sims
with much interest today. He fol-
lowed his unbroken custom Of max
ing no promises.
William A. Dunlap, the present in
ternal revenue collector at Nashville
has indicated his purpose to resign
July /. The Office, however, is one
in which the incumbent serves at the
pleasure OF the President There is,
therefore no assurance, that the mat
ter may not be settled at an early
date.
The difference between Senators
Lea and Shields in the choice Of can
didates may cause the president to
delay the selection of Dunlap's sue
cessor for some time.
Graper was Wilson delegate to
the Baltimore convention, was secre-
tary of the Tennessee delegation at
the convention, and was an active
Wilson PAL tisan in Tennessee before
the convention Capt. Hartford gave
loyal support to the democratic tick
ct at the November election,

Nashville from Knoxville. Pearl but

er any mail was deposited in his box.
One of the pillow lines used py Mr.
Grissom vas wrapped around his
wrist, and feeling tightening of the
lines he looked at the mules or rath-
er at the place ahead where the
mules were supposed to be when to
his utter amazement the team had as
completely vanished as If they had
been waited into thin air. In their
place was nothing but deep hole.
Mr.. Grissom lost no time in dis
connecting himself from the pillow
line nor in leaving the spot where he
stood. And he stood not upon the
order of his going, but left and left
in hurry. When he became con-
WINGED that the whole earth was not
going to cave beneath him he re-
turned and it required the combined
efforts of himself and several neigh
bcrs for many hours to extrfcate the
mules.
Evidently there was a cave be-
Meath the point where the earth fell
sustained by limestone The action
of the water for countless years upon
this stone had doubtless rotted 1t I'M
til it could not stand the pressure of
a team of heavy mules.
