 CALIFORNIA LANDS

Frank w. Pettygrove, who is in Ju. neau, spending his summer vacation, is now a California farmer and land owner, with the most of his extensive holdings In the vicinity of Palermo, in that State. Mir. Pettygroye until four years ago was actively engaged in commercial life, and was for many years Northwest manager for one of the largest San Francisco houses. Dur ing that time he made the Alaska ter ritory at least once a year, and made hundreds of friends in the North.
 After deciding to spend his vacation in Alaska this summer, Mir. Petty grove plated portion of one of his best Palermo farms into 1O.acre tracts, and he will offer them at whole. sale prices to his friends in Alaska.
 Palmero is in the famous Sacra- mento valley country, near the sec. tions made famous by the placer gold operations of the middle of the last century, but now the center Of one of the worlds greatest fruit and agricul. tural regions. It was there that the first orange tree ever planted in Cal. AAOAAlh 10 bAbWAhb oAlN uOaAlub LEull today and every grade of agricultural products from delicate citrus fruits of the semi.tropics to the hardy grains and grasses of the North are raised in the country in abundance.
 Palermo's specialties, however, on account of the greater returns they Dffer are oranges and olives, and it's oranges are beating the crops of Southern California into the markets by from six weeks to two months. There has never been a frost to dam age the trees, nor failure of the crop.
 The tracts which will offer to he people of Juneau" said Mir. Pet .ygroye, "are located within a quarter ,t a mile of a railroad, and adjoin. ng 1t are olive groves that are worth ;1, ,00O an acre"

ed today from Vienna say that Aus
 PARIS, July 2S.-Dispatches receiV- tria will attack Servia in force today. Ii is believed here this morning that nothing can avert war, but 1t is thought it may be confined to Aus tria and Servia. The Minister of For eign Affairs upon reaching his office this morning, one hour earlier than usually, with handbag full of tele- grams that had been delivered at his residence, said: |,
 Tt appears now that it has ceased to be a case of peace in Europe, but a problem to confine the war to as small area as possible. The influence of France will be in the interest of peace first, and, failing there, to re- strict the war operations as far as pos sible."
