Dore from Fresno. During the discussion of the mittee’s report, which pointed out | he necessity ot State organization among | the tarmers, some one called upon Dore and he reluctantiy came down the second aisle and took his position just to the right of the secretary’s desk. Thé call | was evidently an unexpected one and the gentieman from Fresno acknowleaged as | much. He said, however, that as long as they bad calied upon him he would give them a brief outline of the success and achievements of the Fres County Farmers’ Club. In a quiet manner and with a voice that was low he proceeded to tell what he had been asked to tell ocn that snbject. He had not gone very far when Professor d him to de- scribe the nner in which the social funetions of the club were maintained. This Dore proceeded to do. He had no gone farther than the observation that| “since the farmers’ club bad organized | there was ai least one place in iresuo | where you could set a glass of ice water,” | when rap, rap, rap went the president’s | gavel, and down from the chair came rather a stern admonition to Dore to con- fine bimself to the subject. It wes this | simple request ‘rom the chairman that | gave to the convention the best speech of | the session. Lt seemed to put Dore on | his metie, because his whole manner | | | cor cuanged, and he turned to the chair and ered, I will confine myself to the subject,” and he dia. Said he: What I was trying to convey to this body | was the idea tuat before you can secure a growth you must plant you must buila from th irom the toj i ganizations up to this ime have consisted of luxurisnt 1oliage and upper growth, wile the true seed of ndvancement and progress has | no: reached the ground. It has not been pianted. 1 tell you itis to the tillers of the soil their wives that we must look for the be Our success in this ver ture must spring from the farmers them- seives. We musthave a nucleus, 8 kernel— some center or starting point from which our organization can grow, from the ground up, and I tell you our only seivation lies in just | such a plau as the Farmers’ Club of Fresno has | proceeded upon. We have our clubroom, | witn_ &l of its convemences and comforts Our wives when they come to town are not | compelicd to stand around in the stores from e time toey arrive unii. they go home again.

Letme te.l you what the Farmers' Club has ey doue or the raisin-growers of tue Ean Joa- quin Valiey. Last year, before the leaves came out on the viies, these spsedy specu- Iniors came to our Lomes with an estimate of value they were £0.nz 10 puton our labor. Think of it! Not whai we were going o ask for the producis of our own toi., expended Upon our owu soil, but what they had aecided upon. We were 1o have only wnat they had | decided 10 give. ans whatdo you think it wus} 2 cents & pound for our raisins in the sweat- ers. Tiey toid us that was all we could ex- pect—w.s ail the demand woult jusuly. The iarmers called & meeiing.” It was well attended, and we organized. We carried on | the war whico involved our very humes. and we won. There is & Fresno raisin-grower in this convention to-day who can sell his crop for 417 c nts & pound, more than twice as much as the commission merchants and deal- ers in our indusiry said we could get. Tnat is one simpie fiiustration of wuat can be done if tne farmers get together on these lines and organiz: as they should. What is our condition to-day? Simply tran- sient; we come aud g0, D0 one particularly caring whether we come or whether we-go. There 1s no head to our affairs, there is 1o hope of our achieving anything. Those with whom we come into contac on every hand are shar- ing the profits, benefits and strength of co- operation and combine. We are their vic- ums. The speech of Dore was listened to with studious attention. Every word lLie utter d carried conviction as it rang through the chamver, and, when he fin shed, 1he storm of aprlause evi ‘enced that he bad struck the keynote of the fruit-growers’ salvation in the Siate of California. Itis a noteworthy iact, particularly in this county ,that while fortunes have piled upon fortunes, while one fruii-shipping firm after anottier has grown opulent the Sacramento fruic-grower is still struggling wih statemen(s which come from these P ince y establishments all marked with | ed ink ‘and showing a balance to the | farmer on the wrony side of the pace. The truit-shipper lays it to tbe railroad, the railroad blames the refrigerator concerns, the latter savs that the fauit lies with the Eastern manipulators; but a casual ob- servation suows that every blessed one of them gets something out o' it but the grower. He gets the satisfaction that must come 1o every man who coniributes 1o the wealth of railroads and commission- houses. 11 was ipon this subject thata very em- phatic report was handed in by Chairmau Russ Stephens of Sacramento County. ~tephens has always been an earnest ad- vocate of the growers organizing for their own protection, and the following report would icate that there are others wno ~hare the same belief. His report was that of the committee on transportation: Your commiltee finds that the methods that have been employed for the last few years in transporting and marketiug our fresh and largely our cured fruit products in Eastern marke s bave not resulted to the advantage and setisfaction of many ot the growers of the State, as 1s evidenced by the fact that the prices received by our growers for their products in the Eastern markets have fal.en s0 low as 1o notonly not permit any return fo- the capital and labor invested, bui also not sufficient to pay current expenves. This ro- sult expinins why orchard property has so greatly depreciated in value. Properly thats .garding sbipments, so & pe [ | majority | this remark trought Major Weinsto | wost of the afteraocon few years zo could not have been bought for fexs \han §800 or $400 an acre would not now bring over $50 to %75 an acre, and it isex- tremely doub.1ul if masy W0 huve the means wou'd be wi.iing to iuvest their mone; in orchard property under any circumstances. While the disiribution and market.ng of the less perishable products of our orchards, notably our cured and citrus iruits, have been greatly improved Iy our efforts in the past and woile local orza:.iz:tions have done S0 much to re.orm many of the most reckless \d_eXiray.gant meiiods so destrucuve 1o profitable fruit-growing so far but lit:le head- way has beea mude in improviug the method of distributing and marketing our iresh de- ciduous fruits. Cousigiment through commissgon-shippers— toe baue of tie irnitgrower—seems 1o be fastened upon the industry to the destruciion of ali profit uuiess the irvit-growers them- selyes take charee of their own #ffairs. The ceuses that have coutribuied most to bri g ubout the preseut condition in which we find the fruit interesis of the State in- volved, are shipping and consigning through commission firms whose aim and object is to make ail they can, regardless of resulls to the growers. Tiirough consigning comes the ex- orbitant reirigerator cuarges of the syndicate organised 1n ihe East 1o hand e and distribute Cnlifprua fruit. Werecommend that fruit-growers act together in a common cause for their common good. They should organize in nll localities where there is enough fruit grown to make one or more carlond - a day .or the purpuse of man- agiug their own business. They should ship and market their own fruit through theirown ageats. They shou!d select and send repre- sentatives from their organ.zation for the purpose of perfeciing & State association, through which iuformation ¢ uld be given re- fect system of dis- tribution mignt be estabiished. Regarding dried fruit, tie report says: The foreguing refers more particulariy to green fruit. Regarding cured irui:, we will recommend thai, if you will consign, selec commercial broxers in large distributing cen- ters, who neither buy nor sel: on their own eccount. They should be men of unques- touable character. Ship to your own order. Prepay the freizht; own your own £00ds when they resci the market; sell to netf, 0.b.

A chenge cin eeriainly do no narm, and much good might come {rom it Following the majority report came one from the minority, which in no manner wok issue with the former and oniy offered additional suggestion ou the qae iion of establishing a Fruit Growers Exchange. When the question of the report came up, J. A. F.tcher of Placer moved that the commiltee retire and return to the convention some pian oi organization. This motion prevaiied,and the committee e ired for that purpose. When it returned, it was to advocate the subsc:iption of $10,000, to be used for the vurpose of holding exhibits of California fruits in for-ign marke:s. Edward Adams of San Francisco re- marked that he thought the commuttee had been instructed to formulate some plan of orzanization, and he did not think it bad done so. Stephens replied that the commiitee did not feel like assuming the respon -ibility of such an undertaking, and his feet. In tre course of his remarss he questioned the f-asibiity of sucn a <cheme and, in support of his claim, said tnat while Stephens had always aavocated such a plan, when it came 10 a question of suggestion, Stephens had always been | fousd wanting. Then came a reply from Stephens, and was consumed in an endeavor by Stephens and Francis to prove the curse of fruit companies and Weinstock to take the curse off. Th- Southern Pacific came in for its share of attention, ana a resolution was adouted demanding r gular passenger time on all fruittratn=, Rutter claiming 1n support of be resolution that if suc. a concess on were mnde it would render the emp.oy- ments of refrigeraio’s unnecessary.

Ebrhorn read the resolution drawn up by the committee appointed yesterday stating that as there ‘was danger of iutroduciion of insect pests through the mails 1t was resolved that Secretary of Agricuiture Wilson be re- quested to ask the Postmaster-General for permissior to inspect all parcels con- taining plants coming into the State. It wasdccided that Ehrhorn should pre- sent the resolution to the Fruit-G-owers’ Convention and ask that it be acted on immediately. Craw said that the railroad company had taken great interest in the matter and issued instructions to its agents to re- port (o the commissioncrs, Asbley of fan Joaquin advocated in- sneetion and destruction of intested fruit. He thought if a few butche< were de- stroyed it would tend to make people more carelul to clean their orctards. He would like 10 know if the commissioners had authority 10 condemn such fruit individu- ally. Craw said the fruit could be condemned as anusance. Asthel.w gave eacl com- missioner a district, he thought each had ful authority in his district. Several commissioners thought that at least two m«moers of the board shouid act in con- demning. Craw thought it would be well for the Board of Horticulture to submit the question to the Attorney-General for his opinion, and it was decided to ask the board to do so. Rust explained how the reports of in- spector- in his county were kept, and sev- eral other commissioners detailed the practice prevsiling in their counties. Considerable discus-ion was had on the decision of Judge Van Dyke thst the Legislature could not make the charge for cleaning an orchard trom fruit pests a lien on the land, and it was proposed to take the case to the SBupreme Court and have iu settled, as the decision would, if it stands, seriously interfere with the work of the commissioners, but no action was taken. —_———— VALUE OF FEUIT LXCHANGES, Southern California D ciduous Grow-rs Disouss Marketing. LOS ANGELES, Nov. 17.—All sections of Calitornia south of the Tehachapi Mountains were represented at the session Fruit | of the Deciduovs Fruitr Gowers’ Associa- tion in tnis ciiy to-day. Tue attendance was larger than 4t any previous session and great interest was manifested. Presi- dent A. R. Sprague presided. The principal question ths association discussed to-day was the feasibility of forming central and local fruit exchanges whereby through cc-operation the grow- ers would be enabied to handle their own crops, A. F. Naltzger of the Southern Exchange explained the workings of that arrangement and the success it had met with. He said that the cond.tions neces- sary to the successful working of a ftruit exchange were—lirsi, co-operation, and second, econoiay of expense, The co-op- erative exchange disposed of its products tbrough its own sgents and in no way de- pended upon brokes or any of the usual channels of d siribution, and Nafizger strongly urged a com bination of all of the fruit-producers of California in order that they could handle their own crop at a minimum cost. The product was mar* keted at simply cost. No profit accrued to ‘he association. What was made was given back 10 the producer. Nafizger explained that with the citrus fruii the local associations packed the iruit and passed it over to the local ex- change, which consigned it 0 the SBouth- ern California Frait Exchange, which in turn markited it through its regular agents in the East. Each local associa: tion had its own brand under whicn the same gualiy of fruit was pucked every year. Ifany association allowed fruit to run down, that association was the loser, for its brand alone suffered. The ex- change's terms of sale were spot cash or thirty days’ acceptance. All overflow, when there was any, was sold at auction. Last year the sale: of the exchange amounted to $1,000,000 worth of citrus frnit and the loss was $300. It was finalty decided tbat it was ad- visab.e for the deciduous frui growers to come in with the citrus growers and use the same machinery to market both crops and divide the expense. The ses-ions of the association will be concluded to-morrow, when some impor- tant steps will be taken in the matier of deciding the questton of cither drying iruit on the ground of the individual grower or at the plant of the association.

Lke all Populists’ convention, there wasa lively time at the Pecple’s Pariy County Convention, held at 91514 Market street last night J. K. Pbiliips created the most disturbance. He ciarged that the proposition of selecting fifteen free- holders to draft a new charter was insti- wated by the politicai bosses, and ve- hemently asseried that Sam Rainey was one of the conspirators. This aroused the indignation of Carle- ton H. Johnson, secretary of the mesting. “Ehut up!” shoutea Jobnson. *“You're out of order; vou represent Sullivan, the Mayor’s clerk.” The convention assembled to hear the report of the County Executive Commit- tee. The committee, in a long preambl recommended the indorsement of the fifteen Freeholders selected by the three parties and who are as follows: People’s party—Thomas V. Cator, Dr. W. N. Griswold, T. H. Hatch. Republican party—George M. Perine, Joseph D. Grant, George D. Bquires, George E. Dow, A. W. Scott, Reuben H. Lloyd. Democratic party—William M. Pierson, Henry F. Foriman, Johu McCarty, J. B. Reinstein, C. B. Stone, William A. Lutz. The preambie vigorously arraigned the Mayor and the ac ion taken by that offi- cial in appointing a commitiee of 100 to draft anew charter. It stated that the proposed charter was substantially the same as the one which was defeated at the volis at the late eiection. “Such committ-e,’” continued the re- por, “in its active membership has for guaiding hands many of those who framed such defeated charter. Such committee bas practically agreed upon a oune-man power charter, and without being author- ized so to do, has proceeded to act as a cravention to nominate Freebolders to trarie and submit such a charter, and has not consulted this party as to its wishes or views either as to charter or Free- holders.” Tue report of the executive committee was adopted by the convention and iwo committees were appoiuted to wait on the Republican and Democratic conventions respectively and not.fy them what action had been tak.n. A resolution was adopted for the guia- ance of the three freeholders from the Peopie’s Party, Itstated 1hat the party was oy organization and principal op- posed to the ceuralization of power in a Mayor, as city charters granting such vower have in practice proven the source ot bossism and corruption; favored g o4 sanitary provisions,the city’ ownership of pablic utilities and such a charter that would be of, for and by the people. The following committee on purity of election laws was appointed: Dr. C. D. Cieveland, J. D. Thompson, W. H. Goff, J. W. Reay and George A.

NEW YORK, Nov. 17.—“The secession movement on the Pacific Coast is dead, and not even the recognition of an out. side organization can resurrectit.’’ This is what Chairman Mott of the League of American Wheeimen Racing Board said in substance upon the oceasion of his recent visitto New York. As op- posed to this statement, President Orr of the Canadian Wheelmen’s Association, who has just arrived home from the | Fucific Coast, whers ne made a personal investigation of the condition of ecycling affairs, has reported to his organizition that the Coast Associated Cycling Clubs— otherwise known as the outlaws—are in control of the iar Weat, and he advises thiat they be recognized us the controlling body by the Canadian Association. At the meeting of the Canadian Wheel- men’s Assoclation executive committee, held in Toronio, it was decided to seek # conference with the ufficers of the League of American Wheelmen wth a view ol arriving at some arrangemen: by which the Briti-h Coiumbia Association and the Canaadian Wheelmen’s Association may work in harmony with the Coast As- sociated Cycling Clubs and still retain its affiliations with tte Canadian A-soc ation, and yel cause no straining in the relations of the League of American Wheelmen and the Canadian Wheeimen Association.

Second—Tbe prizes under the coast league are so small that when & seison's work is over the average man is out of pocket in the racing game. To cite an instauce of this, I will state that | weut into the California’ Associated Cyeling (lub’s ¢'reuit this year at my own ex- pense and cleaned up on Mr. Weich’s per- centage scheme just $1 15 as a result of my efforts in tivee race meeiings, in which I cap- tured six firts and oue second, which in the Eest would have paid_me $650 at the very lowest. Again, tue Eastern cyeie manufac- turers do not commaud tke business on the coast that they do in the East and therelore a racing man eannot command a salary on this coast which nhe can in the East. It was purely o . the advice of an Enstern firm that I was induced to be sgiin reinstated in the League of American Wneelmen, and they could not affvid to0 pay me a salary for riding only in Calilornia, the ouly piace the Califor- nia Associated Cycling Clubs has any jurisdic- tion. And another thing. Cycle racing is ““dead,” 50 to speak, in Culifornia. Cycle tracks of the finest kind are being torn up, as they do not pay the owners. Al this is on account of the Eastern riders keeping clear of this new league, as it is sgalnst the League of American Whee! rules to ride on Suuday, and the Calitoriia Associated Cycie C.ubs is only & petty organiza'ion in opposition to the League | of American Wheelmen. L:i me sav in couclusion that cyele racing necds new faces to keep up the enthusiasm of the pubilc. The lect that the Enstern men will not winter out here has pus guietus on [ the sport. Irealized only » fow wecks after I | rode in the Caliernia Associated Cycling | Cluts meets thai I made a mistake. Then I | only rode to belp the California Associated Cycling Clubs, as at that me I thought of giving up racing. Why, when F. A. McFarland and C. 8.

The offensive work this afternoon was good, the men getting together better and giving the runner more help, but the defensive work was poor. The men did not break through well and missed the tackles frequentuy. This is the first real test of defeusive work the men have nad for a week, and they will need muc: proc- tice in that particular line, Coscn Nott feels well satisfied, on the whole, with the team, and b:lieves the next tiaree days will show wonderful improvemest. In thsicul coudition the men are doing well, and only one casu- alty, a slight one, occurred to-day. The afternoons will be devoted to games with Reliance men nnd the mornings to prac- tice in ‘special formations and kicking untii Saturday. Afterward the men will rest until the game on the 25th.
