in the courts. The company is pre-
senting this contract now to the grow
ers, and is confident that the cam
paign for signatures will end with an
announcement to the world that the
organization is to continue it's great
work without interference.
California produces approximately
rs per cent of all the raisins in the
world, exclusive of the Grecian Zante
currant. During the war there were
no importations and so the California
raisin was without competition. But
the foreign raisin is again invading
the land, and $4,000 tons, chiefly Zante
currants, have been imported during
the last IL months.
These are inferior raisins, however,
and consumers have, without protest,
willingly paid and cents a pound
more for the domestic product. In this
connection, the United States govern
ment has, through it's agricultural de-
partment, issued bulletins relating to
the curing of the Zante currant show
ing that the foreign processes are not
O1uy A1ocI1Gd1y, UuG ACTUALLY lllCQy.
On the other hand, the California raj
sin is processed under the most per-
feet sanitary conditions.
Within 10 years it is anticipated
that 100000 tons of raisins will be
produced in California every year.
This means that the public must be
induced to consume twice as many raj
sins in 1881 as it is now consuming.
1t can be induced to consume them
only if there is~a continuation of scien-
tific selling and of educational adver-
tising, and this can be done only
through one big, powerful organiza-.
tion such as the growers cooperative
company. No private firm or concern
is strong enough financially, or can
handle sufficient of the crop, to solve
such problem as this inevitable in
crease in production presents.
It is this appreciation of the prob
lens of the future and the possibilities
of their solution that is responsible for
much of the loyalty of the growers to
their organization, for they have seen
problems that looked more formidable
satisfactorily solved in the past.

Under MT. Couzens' administration the city has built ap- proximately 100 miles Of municipal railway rackage and is operating it's own cars on several lines as q result. The city plan also includes taking of two main lines of the Detroit United Railway upon which the franchises have expired.
 The, mayors opponent. Daniel W, smith. has assailed the Couzens' pol icoes during the campaign.
 Nine members of 1he council also are being elected.
 Several charter anendmeatsI some of them dealing with the transporta- tion issue, are on the ballot, Among these are an ordinance authorizing the city to oust the Detroit United Railway from Fort md Woedward avenues. If this measure passes the city plans to replace the company owned lines with municipal systems
