THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1896. FRESNO'S CITRUS FAIR OPENED Products of San Joaquin . Valley Displayed to Visitors. Judge Carter Gives Greeting to the Guests on Behalf of the City, The Great Pavilion Crowded With Exhibits of Fruits and Flowers. FRESNO, Can., Dec. 14.—Fresno had the *zlad hand’’ out for everybody to- day and will keep it extended during the remainder of the week. Her flags areat the top of the staffs and flying a welcome {0 the whole State, To-day the Ban Joaquin Valley Citrus Fair opened here. It is really the first affair of the kind that can be rightfully dignified with the nameof fair. Last win- ter—thouzh it would be more proper to call that season here by some other name, some name that carries with it the aroma of oranges and orange blossoms, fruits and Tfowers—they bad a little exhibit here in Armory Hall of citrus fruits just for a starter. It was exclusively a Fresno County affair. No other county was in it. This year they are neariy all in it and doing themselves proud. Fresno decided to make it a San Joaquin Valiey event, and a noteworthy oneat that. She has suc- ceeded. The citrus fair is held with the purpose of benefitting every county in the valley, though King and Kern counties have not as yet sent in exhibits. The San Joaquin Valley wants to show the shippers of California and the people of the whole earth that she can raise just as good oranges and lemons as Southern California, which they say has been looked upon as the place of supply for such fruit, but shall be looked uvon so no more. Fresno and the valley counties got up this fair to show that oranges, as one instance, ripen and are ready for market from six weeks to one month | earlier than they do south of Tehachapi | and that they are just as fine oranges as are warmed by the sun and wet by the dew in any clime. Another object of the fair is to promote -a spirit of unity and co-operation among the counties of the valley. As an illustra- tion of the profitable effect of such har- mony and unity they pointto the united counties and fruit interests of the south- ern portion of the State. | The weather was fine, A more brilliant | or more invigorating day for the opening | of a fair could not have been made to or- | der. Nature smiled not only on the fields, the vineyards and the orchards of | the broad S8an Joaquin, but upon her prin- cipal event also. ‘A large pavilion was especially erected for the occasion. 1tis on I street, between Kern and Tulare, js 160x140 feet in dimen- sions, and has 22,400 feet of floor space. Over the main' entrance on I street, ex- tending nearly across the front of the Luilding, is the announcement in large biock !etters, “Erected for the Ban Joa- <quin Valley Citrus Fair.” Along the cornice of the frontisa long stretch of red, white and blue, while above, on staffs, floats Old Glory in num- erpus array, the row being dotted here and there by pennants of green and yel- low, the colors of the fair—green for the leaf and yellow for the orange. Palms which grow so luxuriously in this section are tacked in graceful arrangement along the front and side of the pavilion. But it is on the inside of the pavilion that the decorations snd the ornaments and the vast array of fruits the more ex- cites the admiration of the visitor. There, amid the odor of oranges and flowers, pre- served fruits and palms and in a brilliant glow of electric light the opening exer- cises took place to-night. . Justy’s band of thireen pieces supplies the music for the fair. The committee on arrangements is hugging itself with de- light over Justy’s statement that he has secured several soloists once members of Sousa’s band to tickle the tympanums and elevate the souls of the citrus-admir- ing crowds during the week. '%he opening g‘iece to-night was the march “Citrus Fair,” composed by W. Scott Haygood. The Apollo Club, a vocal organization, will also be among the musical attractions of the week. The committee intended to have some literary exercises, too, but found that the sound waves from the average amateur voice would hardly extend from the band- stard beyond the second row of posts. A good-sized audience attended the | opening night, -fully as many ladies as gentlemen being present. Judge Stanton L. Carter of Fresno consented to deliver the opening address. He spoke irom the band-stand, which is the hub of the pavilion, which all'the displays confront, £. L. Bernbard officiated as master of ceremonies. He made a few introductory remarks, in which he briefly reviewed the efforts of the committees to make the fair a success and expressed the hope that this exposition was a starting point for others of the fatuge. 2 Then Judge Carter was introduced. After extending a welcome to the citizens of the San Joaquin Valley, visitors and friends, the Judge said: “No -passport is needed to traverse Fresno’s streets and no walls encompass her borders, but every rosd and avenue is open and unobstructed for all to come and at will’’ gufle said the fair was designed not alone to show the progress made in this county. but in the entire San Joaguin Valley well, especially in the production of citr fruits; to show the possibilities which for so many years had lain dormant and un- recognizéed; to stimulate and encourage the expansion of these productions, which were destined to add untold millions to our wealth; to cultivatea spirit of friendly rivalry among citizens of the various sec- t.ons adapted to their suqcen(nl growth. “That their production is no longer an experiment, ig proven by the go,!den splendors which now surrcund us,” he said. That this valley can successfuily compete with the far-famed southland of this State has already been demonst ated, and it but remains for our people to avail themselves of this plenteous source of wealth which pature’s generous bounty bas placed so essily within their reach to become one of the leading counties in the production of these fruits. ‘We are proud of this fair city and the marvelous results her citizens have accomplished in a few short years. We believe that no more favored spot can be found in this great State. We believe we can truly say ox‘oqr fair city, in the language of one of _(,ah- fornia’s poets, whose brilliant son is an honored resident of our city: Where then fy Eden? A, why should I tell, What every eye and bosom know 5o well? Why name the land ail other lands have blest, And traced for ages (o the distant West? Why searchin vain throughout the historic pm.l ¥or Kden's garden and the golden age? Here, brother, here, no further it Us roARl, This is the garden—iidea is our home, Progressive Men Whose Labors Have Helped to Make the San Joaquin Valley Citrus Fair a Success ‘‘But we are not unmindful of the ad® vantages of our sister cities or of the other splendid counties which with ours com- &gise the principality embraced within it. e know that you have the same pride in your own homes that we possess in ours, It is a pardonable and proper spirit. Few, if any of the boundless resources of the State, or of the soil, are lacking in this valley or even in this county. The giant redwood forests of Humboldt and Marin, of San Mateo and Senta Cruz are pygmies beside jthe groves of seauoia eigante within our borders and the millions of feet of redwood, spruce and sugar pine cut annually in our mountains, find a market throughout all the western States and Territories. Our herds of cattle, our droves of horses and flocks of sheep are surpassed nowhere in the State and in thé production of pork and poultry, of butter and eggs, our possibilities are lim- ited only by the demand. Los Angeles or Ventura cannot surpass us in petroleum products; natural gas is found here in abundance. and our asphal- tum beds, though not 8o extensive as those of San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara, are not behind them in quality. Deposits of chalk and limestone, with abundant iuel, await only the impetus of demand to enable us to rival Santa Cruz and San Ber- nardino in the production of lime. Vast mountains of gypsum and preat beds of asbestos will some day add greatly to our wealth, and while our coal deposits are in- ferior to those of Contra Costa, they excel the coal of Amador. The Sierras, wuich wall our eastern border, possess iheir share of the precious metals—of the iron, copper and other mineral producis which seam the mountains of this State from Siskiyou to San Diego. The grainfields of Butte and Colusa, robed in golden garments like a royal bride, have their counterparts here. Corn can be producea in sburdance, and mo- where else does alfalfa flourish as luxuri- antly or reward so bounteously the hus- bandman. The sugar beet can be grown here with less expense and is richer in saccharine products than at Chino or Watsonville. No longer may Radlands and Riverside, Los Angeles and San Diego claim a monopoly of the production of citrus fruits. Our prunes rival the fam- ous products ot Santa Clara. The valleys of Napa, Sonoma and Livermore no longer hold the palm for the production of wines and brandies. Our olive groves will soon équal those of Santa Barbara, and for rai- sins and dried fruits we bave no rival The vine and fig flourish here as nowhere else. Our mountains and foothills pro- duce apples equal to those of Santa Cruz and San Mateo, of El Dorado and Tuol- umne, and in our valleys the pesch and the apricot, the pear and nectarine, the pommegranate and almond flourish be- yond comparison, and even the banana has been grown and ripened within our city. All berries and vegetable products yield amazing returns. ““Again and on behalf of our citizens, I bid you thrice welcome to our midst.” Judge Carter’s address was heartily ap- plauded. Colonel H. G. Shaw_of Srock- ton, representing San Joaquin Valley and the Stockton Commercial Association’s exhibit, delivered an extemporaneous re- sponse on behalf of the other counties of the valley represented at the fair. Coionel Shaw said he knew they were welcome before Judge Carter said so. **We could read a kind welcome in the cheerful Fresno eye and the warm shake of the hand,”” he said. *“Though I was notified only a short time ago that I was to reply to the address of weicome, it re- nires no preparation to make a response, ‘he heart 1s always ready to make a reply on such an o on as this. We are with you and all the counties of the vailey in the spirit of this fair. We are proud and glad to see you take thisleadership. What we need in_Central California is to stand together. We have a State that needs only the hand and the genius of th ehu- | have 100,000 to start with already. Our rivers that have their sourcesin the mountains have waited for centuries for man to harness them and to develop that water power which we se2 so brilhiantly consummated here to-night in these electric lights. We can close get eyes and dream just a little and see what rich work there is for man to do in the San Joaqain Valley. “We have heard of your Hnndred- Thousand Club,’”” continued Colonel Shaw. “At first we did not know up in Stockton what it meant. It ought to be called the Two Hundred Thousand Club, for I have met ten men on your committee who are worth 10,000 men each, and there you You have more spirit and energy and are quicker to realize your opportunities than our people of Stockton. If we had your spirit we would be a city of 300,000 popu- lation now. “But we are doing good and we are with you. It will take a whole block to hold the next citrus show in Fresno. We shall join you in your schemes to benefit the valley. We believe the time will come when there will be two, and may be three great cities in this valley, and that Fresno and Stockton will be neck and neck, though they are not rivals in any sense. They are too far apart. “Some day,”’ the coionel said, in conclu- sion, “we will invite you up to Stockton to see the greatest citrus exhibition you ever saw. We have brought our oranges’| and laid them beside yours. We may not be now so strong on oranges as we could be, but I think we can raise as good oranges as you can. Siockton is a great manufacturing city—the second in the State; the first in the State outside of San Francisco. We are the only manufac- turers of art pottery in the United States, excel‘)t for one factory which is in Cincin- nat.”” The colonel complimented Tulare County on its splendid exhibit, and ap- proved of the cultivation of that kind of rivaly between the counties of the valle, which would do them each and all good. Hisspeech wasenthusiastically applauded. After the speech-making the crowd wandered down the many aisles among the splendid exhibits, The green and yellow colors of the fair are every where in the pavilion, They hang in sweeping curves of cloth from rafter to rafter. The many rows of posts are green, entwined with orange yellow. At tle intersection of the aisles are potted palms and trees, branches of dates tacked to the corners. There are pyramids of oranges and lemons and wines in bottles almost as tall as the cross above the top of Lone Mountain. There are piles of apples which rise above the surrounding displays of dried frunit as conspicuously as the Twin Peaks do above the surrounding country. Not to be outdone by the fruit which in- nocently brought sin into the world in that other Garden of Eden on the Med- iterranean, the oranges have formed them- selves into small mountains aiso. Lem- ons form a bordering of lighter yellow to the rich orange colors and lettering. A finer lot of dried fruit has not been seen anywhere since dried fruit was dis- covered. There are square yards of it all over the pavilion—figs, raisins, - plums, prunes and everything in that line. The jellies in the many racks are rich and clear and tempting. Their covers of thin tissue paper hardly protect them from the multitude, but this sign, which is on every exhibit, keeps the crowd off: “Please do not handle the fruits.” The display of cereals is fine. Fresno County, as & county, makes no exhibit, for the reason that she does not want to be a competitor for the many cash premiums and diplomas which she offers to extibitors. The Chamberof Commerce of Fresno, however, makes a complete and very handsome exhibit of all the products of the county. Visitors began to come in on this after- noon’s train, The fair will continue man race to restore the garden of Eden. |through next Saturday and longer if jhe interest warrants it. Round-trip excur- sion rates of one and one-third have peen secured to the fair from all points between 8an Francisco and Los Angeles inclusive. All except one or two exhibits are in lace. Tulare County has the largest ex- Eibit at the fair. It comprises everything in the fruit lihe, dried and fresh, tl.at can be shown at this time of the vear. Stanis- laus and San Joaquin counties also have very extensive and attractive exhibits of the same ani Fresno has a novelty in the way of peanuts on the vine, Among the exhibitors who have secured space are the following: Fresno—8t.

From the formal opening of the San Francisco and San Joaquin Valley Rail- road on October 5, and the memorable, prophetic speech made that night by Claus Spreckels from the balcony of the Hughes Hotel, the commercial arteries of ‘resno seem to have taken in new blood, and the Hundred Thousand Club and Chamber of Commerce to have freshened their enthusiasm with new ardor. Mr. Spreckels predicted that with co-op- eration and a proper business enterprise there was no reason why Fresno should not have a population of 100,000 in a few years_and become the metropolis of the Ban Joaquin Valley. A short time after the opening of the Valley road the sub- ject of having a winter citrus fair, to in- clude the entire valley, was broached by some oue, and from this little acorn of an idea has grown the splendid exhibition that is not only an honor to the city in which it is to be seen, but a tribute to the wonderful fertility of the great San Joaquin Valley. Committees of the Chamber of Com- merce and the Hundred Thounsand Club took the matterin hand. The other coun- ties of the valley—Kern, King, Tulare, Stanislaus, Merced an.: San Joaquin—were invited to participate. This was only about six weeks ago. when the work of get- ting upthefairreally began, Alithecoun- ties co-operated except Kern and King, which are not represented. Merced and Stockton are among the localities which have the most attractive exhibits. The people of Fresno entered into-the project with enthusiasm. e general committee on the citrus fair found that not less than $5000 would be needed to make it a success. They went to the busi- ness men and people snd a guarantee fund of $5000 was raised. Last Saturday even- ing members of the Hundred Thousand Club took off their coats, went into the pavilion, and helped to arrange the ex- hibite. All freight on exhibits is paid by the management. ® Following is a list of the general com- mitteemen of the fair: Chairman, F. K. Prescott; vice-cnairmin, H, Gundeifinger; treasurer, J. McMuliin; secretary, Mark Webster; assistant secretary, W. B. Den- nett; F. M. Chittenden, E. F. Bernhard, G. C. Roeding, J. C. Nourse, D. J. Gug- genheim, F. G. Berry, C. F. Wyer. C. H. Markbam and 8. W. Marshall. These were divided also into sub-com- mittees on financ-, building and heating and concessions, extibits and decorations, door management, udvertising, premiums, hotel accommodations, transportation and programme. : STRANGE FIND P77 UKIAH, Discovery of a Skeleton Seated Astride a Branch of a Tall Fir Tree. UKIAH, CAv., Dec. 14.—Charles Ryan, who lives on Pine Ridge, about ten miles west of this city, to-day told a remarkable story of the discovery of &8 human skele- ton. Early in the morning Ryan took his shotgun and went out into the woods to kill squirrels. e soon discovered a gray squirrel, which ran up ito the top of a tall fir tree. Ryan fired at the little ani- mal, which fell from its perch, but did not strike the ground. Ryan was somewhat puzzied at the failure of the squirrel to drop and examined the tree carefully, thinking perbaps the little animal had fallen and lodged in the branches. After carefully scruinizing the fir for some minutes he discovered what appeared to be a large nest, made apvarently from the dead brauches of the tree, and on looking more closely saw the bushy tail of the squirrel hanging from the nest. Ryan det-rmined to have the squirrel at any cost, and putting down his gun, he took off his coat and prepared to as- cend the trunk of the fir. The squirrel had lodged about sixty feet from the groung, and it was with some difficuly that that height was reached. When be clambered onto the branch in which the squirrel was lodged Ryan was horrified to aiscover that the object he bad mistaken for a nest was the skeleton of 2 human beng. The skeleton was seated astride of a branch of the tree, close up to the trunk. One of the legs had falien &f, but other- wise the skeleton was in a fair state of preservation. It was tightly lodged in the tree and bore evidence of having been there for many years. Ryan secured his squirrel and de- scended. He did not dislodge the skel- eton, as he intends taking a rope and low- ering it to the firound to prevent breaking it. It is possivle this discovery clears the mysterious disappearance of Anarew No- brick, a pioneer settler of Con Creek, who was supposed to have left the country about seventeen years ago. He left his cabin one morning in the late seventies. and since that time has never been heard of. Itisthought by Mr. Ryan that the skeleton is that of a man who was either driven to the tres for refuge from wild beasts, or who, after being lost in the woods, ascended the tree for observation and fell, lodging in the crotch of the tree. e e POURING INTO PH@ENIX. Large Attendance at the Irrigrtion Con- gress Is Assured. PH@ENIX, Agriz, Dec. 14.—This city i already crowded with delegates and visi- tors to the National Irrigation Congress, which convenes to-morrow. Governor Franklin will deliver the opening address. Already the Executive Mansion is appro- priately decorated in honor of the dis- tinguished visitors. E. R. Moses, presi- dent of the Irrigation Cougress, is here and at 6 o'clock to-night C: M. Heintz, the secretary, arrived by special train with the California delegation.

He will present a measure for reclamation of arid lands by the Government direct. His plan is ger- erally indorsed by the people of this mountain region, as the salvation of this section depends upon the construction of Teservoirs in the mountains. At this session there will be present at least 300 delegates and 1000 visitors. BAN JOSE PI!“NEER DEAD, Samuel B. Caldwell Succumbds to Heart Disease and Dropsy. SAN JOSE, CaL., Dec. 14.—Samuel B. Caldwell, an old resident of this city, died at his home at 369 Montgomery street yesterday. His death was sudden, but not unexpected, as he had been seriously affected with heart disease and dropsy for the past two years. Caldwell was a native of Missouri, aged 62 years. He crossed the plains by wagon in 1853. Shortly afterward he went to Oregon and engaged in mining. He re- turned to California in 1870 and settled in this city. At the time of his death he was engaged in the real estate business. A widow and a 13-year-old daughter sur- vive him in this city. A married daugh- ter, Mrs. Robert McNeel, by a former wife, resides in Oregon. SERVED TIME IN ENSENADA'S JAIL Manuel Riveroll Demands Heavy Damages From Mexico. Imprisoned as a Suspect After the Famous Gold-Bar Theft. His Innocence Established After H: Had Lost Friends and Fortune., LOS ANGELES, UaL., Dec. 14.—Manuel Riveroll, one of the most prominent resi- dents of Lower California, has returned from a visit to the City of Mexico, where he took steps to recover heavy damages from the Mexican Government foran im- prisonment of about two months in the jail at Ensenada a year ago. Riveroll was conducting a shipping office and acted as agent for the Calmalli Mining Company at Ensenada in March, 1895, when a gold bar was one night stolen from the safe in the office of the Calmalli mines. It was yalued at $12,608, and al- though Riveroll’s chief clerk, Alton Pratt, was charged with the theft and placed in jail with his friend, James E. Garratt, who afterward turned out to be the real thief, nothing could be proven against Pratt or Garratt. In apparent desperation, the authorities arrested Riveroil and confined him in the desolate jail. They refused bail in any amount and in consequence of the impris- onment Riveroll's profitable shipping business was rained and the stigma which attached to him caused his dismissal as agent of various concerns, leaving him at the end of two months a comparatively ‘poor man, although he was possessed of considerable property at the beginning of who was sick at the time of his arrest and imprisonment, naturally grew worse, and in being removed to this city for better medical treatment was the victim of a ranaway accident resulting in her death a short time afterward. River- oll was also subjecied to much indignity from residents of the Mexican town, who had formerly been his friends, but who publicly expressed the belief that he had stolen the gold brick. ‘When, aiter two months’ incarceration, Rivercll was released, he was forced to come to San Diego in order to make a liv- ing, pending a rearrangement of his busi- ness affairs, On occasions when he vit ited Ensenada he was treated with disre- spect by Mexican officials and 1in various ways was made to suffer much anguish. After Garratt’s release from the En- senada jail, Riveroll had a watch set upon him with the result that Garratt was fol- lowed back to Ensenada and surprised almost in the act of unearthing the gold bar. Riveroll was at once restored to popular favor, but the injustice that had been done him and the financial losses he had sustained were made the basis for the step he has taken to recover damages in a heavy sum. et BANK ROBBiI CONFESSES, How the Tunnel Was Excavated Under the First National. LOS ANGELES, CaAL., Dec. 14.—Sensa- tional testimony was given this afternoon at the trial of J. J. McCarthy for tunnel- ing under tbe First National Bank. Fred L. Jones, charged with complicity, made a fall confession of all the details, swear- ing that McCarthy was one of the gang. The other two robbers, according to Jones, were Stevens and Campbell, and there were two other men who did the work on the tunnel. The men consumed two months in running the tunnel under the bank’s vaults, but before they could blow them open the plot was discovered and Jones and McCarthy arrested. Jones-will plead guilty when he is tried next week. S S8an Luis Obispo Wreck.
