Gorilla Search

KELSO, Wash, July 10. = Al
though party of four men under
c. A. Parker, of the forestry ser
vice. left carly Monday to hunt
down and either kill or photograph
the gorillas or mountain devils
of Spirit Lake, the belief here is
that their quest will be unsuccessful,
and numerous other expeditions that
were planned have been abandon
ed.
1t was learned today that Marion
and Rov Smith and three companions
are all spiritualists and that while
they are on their prospecting trips
into the hills they frequently hold
seances.
The Smiths and Fred Beck, an
other member of the prospecting
party are the men who reported an
encounter with the ape-like Great
ures. Marion Smith claimed to have
fired two shots at one of the beasts
and Roy Smith declared that he had
been chased to the cabin from a
nearby spring where he was draw
ing water.
Kelso residents believe the Smiths
and Beck were sincere i'll their state
ments but since the knowledge has
spread that all the prospectors were
dabblcrs in spiritualism, it is
thought the while they were emo
tionally wrought up by q seance they
had mistaken an upright bear for
one of the mountain DEVILS with
which Indian lore and legend pco-
pied the slopes of Mount st. Henels.

California Produces the Bulk OF
Fruit Raised i'm United States

the original producer and the ulti-
mate consumer.
During the year 1923, which was
an average year, California produc-
ed approximately 50 per cent of the
entire crop reported for the United
States. The United States Bureau
of Agricultural Economics states
that the total production for the
whole country, measured in bush
els. was 100000 bushels valued
at $64,043,000,
The tonnage of the apricot crop,
however, was considerably above
the average for the previous ,dc-
cade, 10000 tons representing the
total marketed in 1923.
Shipments Are Heavy
shipments of peaches to points
outside the state in 1928 showed a
considerable increase over the pre-
yious year, 3670 carloads being re-
portcd aS against the 2315 ears for
1922. The total crop handled by
the rail transportation lines during
the season aggregated 1922 ears,
the foremost shipping points being
Yuba City, Loomis, Newcastle,
knights Landing and Reedley.
Fresno was the premier shipping
point for the dried fruit, about 25
per cent of all the dried peaches
handled in the past year being load
ed at this point. The portion of
the crop which was dried last sea-
son was somewhat below that of
the previous year, amounting to but
q 600 tons compared with the 2S,-
600 tons dried in 1929.
Apricots to the amount of 6S2
ears were shipped out of the state
in 1923. a considerable increase over
the 1913 carloads billed for points
beyond the state line in 1922, or the
2s5 cars in 1921. There was, how
ever. less of the fruit canned i'll
1928 than for several previous
years.
The canning for last year total
ed but $1,000 tons against the H.
600 tons for 1922. The 1928 fig
ure is accounted for by the fact
that there was an enormous "carry
over" of canned goods from the
previous season.

The tremendous contribution
which California makes each wear to
the fruit basket of the world is pro.
badly less appreciated within than
without the state S bordersA The
estimated acreage under fruit trees
alone is computed to be in excess
of 1,150,000 acres, according to the
United States Department of Agri-
culture. This does not include the
new trees set out in 1923.
This acreage is but slightly more
than l per cent of the land area of
the state but if placed in line
would form 4 single strip less than
two miles in width running from
the Mexican to the Oregon border.
BY comparison it represents more
territory than the combined land
areas of the Panama Canal Zone,
the American Island possessions of
Guam and Samoa, the state of
Rhode Island, and that of the Dis
trict of Columbia thrown in for
good measure.
Heavy Acreage IN Fruits
OF this acreage approximately II
per cent, or almost 100000 acres,
! are in food bearing fruit trees, the
balance being classified as non
bearing. The distribution is fairly
even throughout the southern and
central counties of the state. Los
Angeles county leads with 116,SS0
acres, or A per cent of the coun-
i tv area, Santa Clara county appears
as second with grand total of
i 95,070 acres, which is slightly more
/ than II per cent of the county
territory, while Tulare county is
| scheduled as third with $3.50
acres. Orange county has the larg
est percentage of its area, Ia
per cent under fruit trees.
During the past five years the to-
tai value to the producers of fruit
crops in the state has aggregated
more than billion dollars. The two
crops, peaches and apricots, contri-
buted approximately Is per cent, or
$136,5O0, 900, of the grand total,
This figure represents the value to
the grower and does not include
picking charges, transportation or
any of the many percentages nee

WORLD BROADC4STYNG

radio editor remarks that private citizens of
the world promise to accomplish what their official
representatives and diplomats so far have failed to
effect 1t is the cultivation of an international friend
ship and understanding by means of radio communi-
cation.'
He tells OF communication already opened be-
tween North and South America and between Amer
lea and Europe with amateurs of the United States,
England and France particularly holding regular con-
versations the Atlantic. In such intercourse,
expressions of goodwill and friendship the doml
nant note. Amateurs will doubtless accomplish much
along this line in future years. Broadcastng stations
should accomplish more. The editor quoted proph-
estes that the entire globe will be knit together
by belt of stations able to any time to relay
a message and give it at to all nations OF the
earth.
He makes the obvious suggestion of universal
language for the purpose. That will In time, no
doubt through the of Esperanto lido some other
artificial language else the adoption of natural
language of wide circulation and simple grammar
For the latter type of world-ongue English is prob
ably the most likely candidate.
All this is no idle dream Everything indicates
that within few years it will be possible to communl-
cate at once with practically all of civilized mankind
But the rapid approach of that time brings up sol

BUILDING SHOWS
NEW LOW MARK
Slight Recovery From June
Slump Recorded,

Valuation of residence building
work in the city reached a new low
level in June this year compared
with 1921, SIS or '23, according to
charts completed by the city build
ing department today.
General slump in business, coupled
with high building prices, is as
signed as the cause. Although the
1924 July mark exceeded 1921, it still
is below 1922 or 1928 records.
The peak month this year was
March, when building, valued at ST.
275. 900, was recorded. In June this
had dropped to less than 100000.
1t was 100000 in July. Last years
July mark was approximately 1925
600. compared with S1,270,000 for
July. 1922. and S86O,Oo0 in July, 1921.
The number of building permits
during 1924. which has been running
behind 1923 records, now is below
1922 marks, although a recent squirt
may bring it above the 1921 mark
during August
