BEAUTIFUL SANTA CLARA VALLEY, Styled by Bayard Taylor a Garden Spot of the Universe. WEALTH OF RESOURCES. A Single County Wherein There Are 2,641,737 Fruit Trees in Bearing. SAN JOSE A HEALTH RESORT. Its Death Rate Less Than Half That of New York—A City of Fine Buildings. SAN JOSE, Csx., Aug. 15.—*'One of the in the three most beautiful valleys world.” The above sentiment was the praise accorded Santa Clara Valley by Bayard Taylor, and no one who has had the good fortune to become at all familiar with this section, so frequently referred toas the “'garden spot of the world,” can fail to find an echo in their hearts of the words above quoted. Nature has indeed been lavish of her bounties here and seems to wear a perpetual smile as though pleased with her every touch. The satisfaction expressed in word and manner by the residents of Santa Clara Valley with their environments is readily excused, as in point of location, chimatic and other ad- vaatages necessary for the prosperity of a people this valley is unsurpassed. Santa Clara County, while being an in- land county, is situated at such a conve- nient distance from San Francisco Bay as to receive the benefit of the invigorating sea breezes, which the beautiful Santa Cruz mountains that border this valley so pleas- antly temper, and no dey in summer fails to bring these invigorating and life-giving breezes. The population of Santa Clara County borders closely on 60,000, a popu- lation gained in ghe last generation, and more emphatic than words can tell, their prosperity is shown by an increasein the total county valuation from $40,000,000 in 1886 to $56,000,000 in the present year. As to the source of this wealth, one has but to drive over its miles of splendid roads upon which $100,- 000 is annually expénded for sprinkling alone, and note the thousands of acres of orchards, representing every known fruit grown, the various fruit-dryers and .can- neries, worked to their fullest capacity; the vineyards and well-equipped wineries scattered throughout the country, the dairies, which for size and completeness are not often equaled, and many other in- dustries which these conditions call forth, and wonder succeeds wonder at the ap- parently never-ending vista, yet one is compelled fraquently to exclaim: “What golden wealth,” and needs no further explanation of the Assessor's figures. A mistaken idea, however, and one unfortunately too prevalent in the minds of Eastern people, according to the statement of an officer of the Board of Trade here, is that the grand achieve- ments in the fruit industry in this county are due almost entirely to the soil and climate and very little to the labor and intelligence of the orchardist. To the in- tending settler it will be well that this view will find no lodgment in his mind, for while the soil and climate, as has been said, are as favorable to the cultivation of fruit as that of any other locality in the State, yet the best results have been rediched only where the highest intelli- gence, the most painstaking labor and the most persistent efforts have been dis- played. 2 Thisis a point upon which too much emphasis cannot be placed, for while na- ture is ever kind yet her reward is only to the industrious. "It might be well at this jurcture to call attention to a frequent cause of worry and embarrassment to the fruit-grower, one responsible perhaps more than any other cause for the failure of the orchardist’s hopes, and that is the ambition of many to own large orchards on a small investment in the belief that they can pull through the youthful period of the orchard and in the end be comfort- ably established through the disposal of an extensive fruit crop. Why men fall into this error it is difficult to explain, as many of these are men who have been en- gaged in mercantile pursuits, but who would never have expected to do a busi- ness of $100,000 per year on a capital of $10,000, and yet this is just what many are attempting, with the result that they are hampered in all their efforts through'a se- ries of years, and eventually disappointed. There is indisputable evidence of the profit in fruit culture anywhere in the vast fertile valley, and this is to be found in the prosperity of those engaged in it and the largely increased acreage in orchards each year. The following figures will be of interest in this particular: . The following is the number of fruit irees growing in the county: Non- Bearing. | bearing. 27.195| 5,200 139,472 69,218 809 9,026 187,001 199 117 The total number of bearing fruit trees in the county is placed at 2,641,737; non- bearing trees, 1,933,804; grand total of fruit trees in county, 4,575,541. The increase in bearing French prune trees in 1896 over 1895 is 70,913, The increase in peach trees this year over 1895 is 23,930. While the above list tells its own story as to the adaptability of Santa Clara County for the growth of fruit of every kind, yet this is pre-eminently the center for prunes of the very highest quality, the peculiar climatic conditions demanded by this choice fruit being found here to a degree not - obtained elsewhere in the world. This statement contains no exag- geration, as can be easily and satisfactorily proven. : No other fruit is so highly and uni- versally recommended by physiciansas a health diet as is the prune, and it is little wonder that its culture is receiving the attention given to it by orchardists of this valley. In order.to give our readers a clearer idea of what is representedin the yield of the immense acreage of Santa Clara County. or a portion of it at least, we append the following table: Ard while decreases from the figures of the output for the previous year are the rule, the remarkable increase of over 14,000,000 pounds in shipments of dried prunes for the season of 1895, as compared with 1894, goes a long way toward making up the decrease in shipment of e1] kinds of fruit, wine and garden seed. The figures of prune shipments are greater than for any preyious year. Duriug the twelve months from July 1,1893, 10 June 30, 1894, the shipments smounted to 38,704,350 pounds, and were the heayiest on record forany season 4000006000 000000040002 0#056 40+ 020+ 0+0r 020+ 0a0e Qe 0oBo 02000 £ WAITEIVRST & HODGES Z LUMBER MILL NEAD'LIIJDV S040450000#0 90402040000} == ENEON PhiARD RIVER.

In the foregoing we have endeavored to demonstrate the claims of Santa Clara County as a spot favorable for homes and investment, but in addition it affirms its right to a place at the very head of all the health resorts of the State on account of its equable climate and its many and varied mineral springs, the analysis of which is equal to those of the world-famed springs of Europe. Here are to be found Vichy Hot Springs, sulphur, soda and many others, and innumerable cures tes- tify to their excellent worth. ‘The position of Santa Clara County as an educational center is so well known as to hardly need mention. as here are located the Leland Stanford University, University of the Pacific, Santa Clara Col- lege, State Normal School, besides con- servatories of music and various acade- mies. The world-famed Lick Observatory, con- taining the monster 36-inch glass, the lat- ter costing $60,000, an observatory which has done as much probably for astronomi- cal science through its corps of learned professors as almost any other in the world, is situated here and is reached through a mountain drive both beautiful and com- fortable. No article on Santa Clara County is complete without special reference to San Jose, the county seat, and which once vis- ited can never be forgotten onf account of its beautiful broad thoroughfares and well-paved streets, so prettily adorned with graceful palms and shade trees. In its very business center is St. James Park with' its fountain, large shade trees and well kept lawns, and opposite is the Hall of Records, a building which would do honor to any city, and adjoining is the Courtbouse, an imposing s:ructure which cost $400,000. Recently erected is a post- office building costing nearly $200,000 and which is indeed “‘a thinfi of beautlg.” and facing this is the City Hall and Free Li- brary. Its business blocks and banking institutions give the city a decidedly pros- perous and substantial air, which condi- tion is certainly borne out by the commer- cial history of ‘the city, as through all the trying years just passed not one of the banks closed its doors or suffered embar- rassment. Asa health resort 8an Jose points to the following table as proof of its position: DEATH BATE. New York, 24.19 per 1000 per annum. Philadelphia, 17.17 per 1000 per annum. Baltimore, 20.31 per 1000 per annum. Richmond, Va. 25?10 per 1000 per annum., Savannah,'33.75 per 1000 per snnum. San Franciseo, 18.30 per 1000 per annum. San Diego, 10.98 per 1000 per annum. Los Angeles, 15.82 per 1000 per annum. San Jose, 11.78 per 1000 per annum. San Jose is but fifty miles from San Francisco, and has an excellent and fre- quent train service to that city, fifteen addition to which communication is had Dy steamer from Alviso. In concluding this_article too much praise cannot be accorded the directors of the Board of Trade for their intelligent and untiring efforts to advance the inter- ests of the county. The board consists of Colonel T. R. Weaver, president, who, although & newcomer to the county, has done much to unite the fruit-growers of the valley into a working organization, and C. J. Steevle, treasurer, and A. C. Darby, C. M. Hatcher, J. D. Miner, Wil- liam Osterman, S.°E. Smith, A. O. Bacon, L. M. Hale and J. P. Fay, secretary. The Board of Trade maintains an excel- lent permanent exhibit, conveniently situ- ated, and is the only bureau of intorma- tion in the county. It distributes large quantities of statistical matter throughout the East and answers multitudinous in- quiries from intending settlers. Take it all together, California may indeed feel a pride in the beautiful Santa Clara Valley. CITIZEN- SOLDIERS OF THE STATE, Major-General N. T. James, division commander of the National Guard, has resolved to ascertain definitely whether the ammunition supplied to the troops is of the highest grade, He has determined | to promote efficiency in rifle practice in | | the guard, and, as a preliminary step, will see that ammunition is supplied that can be relied upon. Following is a copy of an order issued | from division headquarters last Saturday: Regimental inspectors of rifle practice and those officers under whose personal direction and inspection the annual pre- liminary rifle practice of this year has been held (including Naval Battalion, cavalry troops and Signal Corps) will, as soon after the receipt of this order as is practicable, make out (in duplicate) and submit to these headquarters the report of such practice under the following head- ings: (A) The kind of ammunition used, its quality and cost. (B) A summary of the number of men in each organization who are entitled to shoot, and the number actually present. (C) A summary of the numkter of men who qualifiea for 60, 80 and 90 per cent. These reports will be accompanied by such suggestions as would, in the opinion of the officers making the reports, benefit and encourage rifle practice in the Na- tional Guar&. Brigade inspectors will closely examine these reports and inderse | thereon such remarks and suggestions as would, in their opinion, benefit the prac- tice, and forward the reports to headquar- ters, with as little aelay as possible. It is desired by the division commander that the above reports shall be full and ex- haustive and shall contain such recom- mendations as may be considered neces- sary to ehcourage the rifle practice of the Guard, which is of the most vital im- portance. At Sacramento weekly drills in the Sec- ond Infantry are no longer tasks to be shirked, and under the existing regula- tions theg command good attendance. The friendly rivalry existing between the two companies tend to excite the ambi- tion of both officers and privates. Outof a membership_ of eighty Company G turned out sixty-five strong at drill on last Monday night, many being away on summer vacations. Captain Stearns of this company having reported Privates Pierce and Luttrell as having violated the military rules by non-attendance at weekly drills, a court-martial -has been cailed by order of Colonel Guthrie, com- manding the Second Brigade, to be held on the 17th inst. Captain Shoemaker of Company E has been detailed to preside. . B Cavalry Troop is considering a camp- ing trip to be made in regular campaign- ing order, and will settle the guestion at its meeting to_be held. next Wednesday evening. It is the intention te makea raid in the direction of Stockton, leavin Sacrataento mounted and conveying lnfi supplies. ' The members of the troop are dispiaying great interest and pride in their drills and equipments, and bid fair to become the banner troop of the State. But for downright hard work, prompt- ness at drill nnof individual interest the members of the Third Brigade Signal Corps, under the command of Lieutenant T Martin, are entitled to the palm. The men have a laudable ambition to k all the otker corps in everything, e in a fair way to accomplish their object. Itis a rare thing for any member to miss drill, and it is their intention to institute a series of monthly fleld drills, to be held on the last Sunday of each month. The members will leave Sacramento mounted, in light marchin order, and will spend the day in drill an cutlass practice. They have introduced a number of telegraph instruments into their headquarters and are practicing assidu- ously to perfect themselves in the use of them. This is without doubt one of the best arilled heliograph corps in the State, and Lieutenant Martin reports that he never has to infuse any enthusiasm among the members, but on the contrary Las to restrain them in their work. trains each way being the daily service, in | Company B, Fifth Infantry, of San Jose is in a better condition to-day than ever before. Since the removal of the company into its new armory on_Market street, be- tween Santa Clara and St. John,*much enthusiasm has been displayed by the men in the affairs of the company, and attend- ance at meetings has been more regular and much larger. The membership is over sixty, and the average aitendance at drills and meetings is forty. During the past few months the company has increared rapidly, from one to three recruits being received each Monday evening. Next Saturday evening, August 29, Com- vany B will march to Alum Rock Park, seven miles east of town, returning Sun- day evening. The start will be made from the armorv at 10 p. ». The men will carry their haversacks, canteens, cups, etc., and mess in true army style. Cooks will be detailed from the ranks. Tbe company has made this trip several times, and the boys enjoy it immensely. Much interest is being manifested in the monthly target shoots, and the men are greatly improving in shooting under Ser- geant L. B. Wood, the inspector of rifle practice. Last Sunday there was a prize shoot, in which forty prizes were donated by mer- chants. Sergeant C. E. Hubback secured first: prize with a score of 43. Private ‘White won second prize with a score of 42. Sergeant Wood was third with41. Ser- geant Hubback is the crack shot of the company, Company B will elect officers next month. In all probability Captain Part- ridge will be re elected, as he is well liked, and under his captaincy the company has made much progress. It was due to his efforts that the company secured its new armory. There is no opposition to the re- election of First LieutenantJ. J. Adel, and Second Lieutenant W. Searle is scheduled for his oid place. Company B, First Infantry, of San Francisco went into camp yesterday at Los Gatos for a week. The tents are pitched in Shore’s Grove. Company E. Third Infantry, of Santa Rosa, is in a flourishing condition. The company numbers sixty-six men not in- cluding commissioned officers, all of whom take a deep interest in their duties. They bave a comfortable armorv on Hinton avenue containing drillroom, dressing- rooms, reading-rooms, officers’ quarters, etc., in which the members are wont to gather several times a week for recreation and pleasure. The attendance at regular meetings and for Monday nigfil}lt drill is unusually good, Company having always ranked high in percentage of at- tendance. The competitive shoot of the battalion is still undecided, Company C of Petaluma having won the first shoot held at Peta- luma, Santa Rosa winning the second event on the home range by one point. The deciding trial will take place at Peta- luma September 1. Captain Horen has recommended the promotion of five non-commissioned offi- cers as follows: Corporal Roger P. Smith as sergeant, and Privates George W. Koh- Jer, Jessie A. Craft, Paul Coulter and Frederic Schaupp as corporals. It is prob- able that-Company C of Petaluma will join Company E in a summer camp. A committee of which First Lieutenant Bean is chairman has been appointed to confer with a like committee from Com- pany C, and a report will probably be made at the next meeting. There is an unusuai amount of dramatic and musical ability among the members of Company C, and many fine home entertainments are given. Napa’s Company H, Fifth Infantry, is in a flourishing condition. There are now fifty-eight names on the company roll and several applications for membership, which have not yet been acted up on. The company was formerly Battery B, Second Artillery, commanded by Colonel William Macdonald, and during the strike in 1894 did service in the West Oakland railroad yards with the other batteries of the regiment. In commemoration of the anniversary of the return from the yards, the members, ex-members of the company and invited guests assembled at the armory on the evening of July 27 last and sat down to a banquet prepared for-the oc- casion. Captain F. G. Easterby gave reminiscences of camp life, especially in the yards, The_company is now attached to the Fifth Infantry.” Althcugh the company has been attached to the Fifth only since December last, the feeling existing between the members of the regiment is most friendly. The company has the regular monthly class shoots in accordance with regimental rules, and also a monthly contest for the Hadfield medal, which has to be won three times consecutively before per- mnnenui kept by the winner. Private Bates, who has twice won the medal, 18 its present holder, July 1 the etection for company offi- cers was held. Captain F. G. Easterby and First Lieutenant H. H. Muller declined re- election, and so the following were elected to fill the vacancies: Sergeant F. W, Bush, captain; First Sergeant H. L. Gunn, first lientenant, and Sergeant Hoff second lieutenant. The members of the company deeply regret that Captain Easterby and Lieutenant Muller will be with the com- pany in an official capacity but a short time longer, for these officers by their persevering efforts had gained the love and respect of all the men. The company, which for three years of its existence has used one of the larger apartments in the Williams block on Main street as its armory, moved recently to Hoff's hall, at the lower end of Main 'HE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, AUGUST 17, 1896. street, where it now has ample room for nsion and growth. broad stairway leads up to a spacious landing on the second floor, from which first opens off the officers’ ments. Theseare well lighted, and the ven- tilated rooms contain private lockers of the officers and are well furnished with tabies and comfortable chairs. The main assembly-room, which isused for lounging and reading purposes, is 356x 75 feet in size. This room is furnished with pooltables, a library, tables on which are the leading periodicals of the times, and pictures appropriate to an armory, forming a most pleasing and interesting feature of the company’s new apartments. . The large drill hall, which is 100 feet long and 60 feet in wiath, is the feature of the new armory. Y On the evening of Bepumber 9 agrand opening ball will be given by the com- pany. The committee of arrangements is making every effort to have it successful in all particulars. It is expected that some of the brigade and regimental officers will be present. Company D, Fifth Inhqtr‘i of San Rafael went into camp at Mill Valley last Saturday night. | The company expects to have an elec- tion for lieutenant in a month, Second Lieutenant F. J. Murray is spoken of as a likely man for first lieutenant, and Ser- eant A. N. Boyen for second lieutenant, if Ea will accept. There is antfcipation of target range gnoflco next year. A suit- able site for the range is a tract below the San Pedro landing, which the company would be glad to purchase at a nominal figure, if they were able to raise the money by subscriptions from private citizens. Another suitable site is on the marsh, south of the town, between the canal and the old toll road. This, how- ever, would involve greater expense before it could be used. The champion medal for target practice this month was won by J. F. Robinson, private. At Merced Company H, Sixth Infantry, is located. The attendance at drills, which is always somewhat light during the sum- mer months, when many of the men are in the harvest fields, is picking up again. After the regular drill asocial time will be indulged in by the members of the com- pany. Music and refreshments are on the programme. The last regimental orders announced the promotion of the following privates: Leo Muller, D. C. Jones, D. F. Griffin, E. Jackman and George C. Adrain to be cor- porals, and Art 8. Guthrie, recently trans- ferred to this company from quartermas- ter sergeant Company K, Seventh In- fantry, to be sergeant. The same orders also discharge Serzeant C. T. Wright, Corporal Roy von den Heuvel and Privates Frank King, William Griffin and C. D. Radcliffe, for expiration of term. New members this month are Emery J. Buck- ley and Manuel Martinez. z Captain Kittle, A. D. C. Third Brigade, passed through Merced last week on his way to Minturn on a visit to old friends. Company H will parade in Stockton with the entire regiment on the occasion of thej Native Sons’ Admission day cele- bration. Salinas is fortunate in having one of the mounted companies of the National Guard. Troop C, commanded by Captain Burke, will soon be one of the best drilied com- panies in the State. Sergeant Donohoe of D Battery, Fifth Artillery, U. 8. A., isin Salinas on a three months’ furlough, and is giving nightly instruction to Troop C. He is an excellent tactician and drillmas- ter, and his efficient work for the next three months will place the soldiers above the average of the National Guard com- panies of the State. 2 The new armory building wiil be com- pleted the last of this month, and will be formally opened by Troop C September 9. The building is a 2-story structure, 45x130 feet, built of Arizona sandstone and brick, and was designed especially for Troop C., The members of the troop are determined to give a good report of themselves, as the number in attendance at regular drills, av- eraging sixty-five, will show.
