wording Of the law and the regulations
Of the treasury department relative to
imports of liquors and that so far as
he knows there is nothing TO prevent
the importers, after the liquor has
been gagged, from paying the duty
and taking it away.
Sharp seems TO be basing his course
upon the ruling that sake is still

From the advices received from

GREAT FRUIT YEAR
IN CALIFORNIA
Crops Are Larger Than Those Of
Any Previous Year BY a
10000 Carloads So.

z. SACRAMENTO, California, Septem-
Der 81 Associated Press) --The 1917
decidous fruit season in California has
advanced to such stage that Charles
Z. Virden, general manager of the Cal
ifornia Fruit Distributors, predicts that
fruit shipments to points outside the
State will reach the remarkable total
of twenty thousand carloads. This fig.
ure not only breaks all previous records
but does so by the comfortable margin
of more than twenty-five hundred ear
loads, representing between two and
three million dollars in value.
Last season also was record breaker
and yielded q total of 1891 carloads
p of fruits shipped to markets outside of
California, mostly to the Atlantic sea.
board. Fresh fruit shipments will break
records this season despite the fact that
there is an Unprecedented demand for
peaches, pears and other fruits to 60
to the canneries.
Cherry shipments, which have closed
reached total of 295 carloads; exceed
ing the highest previous mark by over
one hundred carloads. Apricots ship
mcnts totalled 403 carloads, exceeding
the best previous year by more thar
one hundred cars. Peaches thus far are
behind the best previous seasons rec
ords, but the deficiency probably will
be made up before the season closes
Although the plum season has not
closed, 1917 is three hundred car'
ahead of the previous record. go.
With pears, the season already hal
passed the best figure of the past by
two hundred carloads and the seasOI
will run for another month. Grapes
still are to be Slipped. Nothing but ,
shortage of shook, car shortage or lacl
of sufficient labor to harvest the croI
could reduce the estimates he has made
! Virden believes.
Figuring the fruit at the cOnserva
tive price of $1,000 per car, used a
basis of estimates in the past, the frui
crop this year would be worth pot les
than $24 200, 900, but it is probable
price nearer $500 per car will NOR
closely approximate the value this year
This would make the 1917 fruit GRO
