Patents to mineral lands will come through the Sec- retary of Mines, which will be a great improvement n view of the provoking delays in issuing such patents by the General Land Office The Call has long advocated the creation of such a department and Cabinet office, and gives to this bill its influence and support, in the belief that it is a step forward for the West which carries with it the whole country The United States has the greatest variety of valu- able = minerals found associated in any part of the world. We have hitherto called the roll of these as found in California alone. The annual value yielded by American mines is so stupendous as to invite every encouragement of the industry which produces it. In 1860 we exported only $999.465 of the products of our mines. In 1900 that export had risen to $37.843,742. Only Louisiana, Oklahoma and the District of Columbia are reported as having no mines or quarries country als and The product of the mines of the for 1900 was $1,20%,201,579. This value at the mine expands almost immeasurably in the case of copper, n and other metals as they pass through the various processes which adapt them to use. No other country has such wealth in its mines and quarries, and no other country gives as little protec- tion and encouragement to mining. Mr. Woods® bill proposes to do tardy justice to this great interest and should become a law before th session closes. It is noted that aithough Charles Emory Smith has long been 2 live newspaper man he did not let his paper have a scoop on the news of his resignation of the Postmaster Generalship. It is believed that bis conduct in that regard is the finest exhibition of official conscience ever made in Washington. With a surplus in the treasury, a surplus in the balance of trade and a surplus of revenue, Uncle Sam can hardly be expected to watch the boy in Con- gress too closely when they make up the appro- priation bills this winter. 1f the ccmmittee appointed by the New York con- ference does one-half as much good as its sanguine supporters predict in the direction of settling dis- putes between labor and capital, we will count it as the best gift the Christmas scason has brought us.

In the great cities are many clegant places under that sign, where our fruit of ‘all kinds is repacked in such, a way as to exhibit to best advantage its form and color. In this holiday time our grapes, the white and black cornichon, the great queen and the Tokay, may be scen arranged together in baskets so as best to display their contrasting colors and looking de- licious enough to tempt an anchorite. 9 The universality of the name oi California over fruit stores means that we have captured the domes- tic market and made cvery Eastern dealer our adver- | tising agept. It means that we are without a rival in the production of fruit and that we need not fear a failure of the market if we practice commercial honor in furnishing the supply. It means also that | our railway lines must be admonished by the unfor- tunate experiences of last season, which are now being repeated, and must be cquipped to carry this crop promptly, quickly and in good condition from the producer to the consumer. Surely it is odious that the Eastern holiday market shall be reaching | for our fine are rotting under the trees for lack of cars to carry them!

This information is now supplemented by bulletin No. 23 of the miscellaneous service of the Agricultural Depa by Statistician Holmes, a field agent of the bureau. every county in California and laboriously collected stati s that may not be found collated elsewhere | than in his report. He reports that in 1900 there were {in the State 16,102,870 bearing fruit trees and 13,200, ] ew orchards, making a total of ment, prepared e has visited | 411 non-bearing, in 120,402,287 trees, occupying 45 | Of the total number 8,072.843 were prune trees, | 34 orange, 744.010 apricot acres. 21,067 peach, 3,6 {and 2,162,740 olive.

Of the citrus fruits, including the orange, lemon, lime and pomelo, he says: “Much of the land of the State is adapted to the cultivation of citrus fruit, and while by far the greater portion of the commercial crop of the State is at present grown in Southern California, fruit of this character can be safely and profitably grown all along the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, from San Diego to Tehama County, a distance of over 700 miles. This area is a thermal belt, and varies in width from three to thirty miles. The mean summer temperature in this belt is higher in the northern than the southern part, and in the winter is higher in the southern than the northern. The mean temperature for the ‘entire year, however, does not vary more than four degrees throughout the whole belt.” Here we have the first official statement of the physical reason for the fact that the Northern Cali- fornia oranges, grown almost in the latitude of Chi- cago, ripen and ‘go into market two months earlier than the Southern California crop. It is because of the greater heat in the summer, when the fruit is growing and maturing. This also accounts for the greater earliness of all stone fruits in Northern Cali- fornia. Dealing with the distribution of the fruit trees, he reports that in 1898 Northern California had of all kinds, bearing and non-bearing, 19,171,506 and Southern California 8,367,193. Of the bearing trees Northern California bad 77.3 per cent and Southern California 22.7 per cent. The non-bearing trees werg more equally distributed, the north having 57.2 per cent and the south 48.8 per cent, showing that plan- tations are being extended in Southerp California and new land is being brought into actipn: He finds that in 1900 there were 87,090 tons of green fruit shipped cut of the State from Northern and 108 tons from Southern California. . Northern California also shipped 164,705 tons of dried .and canned fruits and raisins, against Y0,235 tons from the south. But in citrus fruits proportions are re- versed, Southern California shipping 218,183 tons, against 8273 tons from the north. “The ‘total ship- ments of all kinds stood, according to Mr. Holmes, at 261,058 tons from Northern California and 228,418 tons from the south, making the magnificent total for the whole State of 489,476 tons of fruit, the product of 452,252 acres, or, more strictly speaking, of 16,192,876 trees, since the above acreage was also bearing trees being 55 per cent of the whole, the bearing acreage was also 55 per cent, so that 248738 acres proguced 489,476 tons of fruit of all kinds and conditions for export to a market outside the State, or one ton and eight-tenths of a ton per acre. This of course is in addition to our very large home con- sumption. This is a land of fruit and flowers, and Californians eat the ome and wear the other in greater abundance than any other people, so it is quite safe to put the fruit yield at-24 tons per acre. It is a great indus{ry and needs more and more every year the study and attention of those who handle the commercial end of it. The producer is already lcarned in horticulture, which here rises to the rank of a learned profession. D three trans-Atlantic steamers that left New York for Europe carried with them 102,265 postal money orders, having an aggregate value of $1.888.349. It is believed that the most of the money was intended as Christmas gifts. In addition to the postal orders there wcre an unusually large number of registered mail parcels carried by the same steam- ers. A single one of them, the Kaiser Wilhelm der !Grossc. carried no less than 20,120 registered pieces, { As many of the registered parcels and letters also car- ried Christmas gifts to the old country, it will be seen that America’s remembrance of Europe kept Santa Claus busy over there before he crossed the ocean to our own shores. A detailed statement of the postal orders of AMERICA TO EUROPE. URING a single week preceding Christmas the occupied by 13,200,411 non-bearing young trees. The i week shows that of the total amount of money sent to Europe $556,000 went to Great Britain and Ireland, $216,000 to Germany, $110,000 to Sweden, $70.000 to Italy, $42000 to Russia, $38,000 to Hungary, $32,000 to Norway, $23,000 to Switzerland, $19,000 to France, $16,000 to Denmark, $8500 to Belgium and the Neth- erlands ahd $230 apiece to Egypt and Portugal. The Italian orders averaged highest, namely, $25 68 each, and the Danish and Dutch the least—$9 05 and $9 8o. Of course the postal orders and registered letters and packages do not by any means represent all the Christmas cheer that went from us to Europe in the shape of ‘valuable giits. The postoffice carries money only when sent in comparatively small sums. When the amount exceeds fifty dollars it is nearly always sent through the banks instead of through the post- office. Consequently it is probable that most of the money in those 102,265 orders, averaging as they did but $11 62 each, was sent by people of comparatively small incomes and did not include any of the gifts which the more prosperous and richer Americans sent to their friends and relatives across the sea. Uncle Sam, then, has been a veritable rich uncle for the boys and girls and old folks across the ocean. He has-given liberaily to make -Christmas gay for them and profitable for their traders in Christmas goods. Fortunately he is rich enough- to stand the strain, and besides he has the satisfaction of knowing that the balance of trade in his favor will bring him his money back again and more with it long before the coming of next Christmas, when he will once more help to fill the European stocking. < try does not augur well for the future. It has already reached a stage that would re- sult in war were not the United States troops present in sufficient force to prevent an outbreak. As it is one of the contending parties has announced an in- tention to withdraw its candidates and take no part in the election. The reason assigned for the action is that the control of the ¢lection machinery is in the hands of the other party and that the candidates of that party will be counted in no matter what the popular vofe may be. General Maso and his party undertook to contest the election of Palma on the ground that Palma does not truly represent the aspirations of the Cuban people for complete independence. He is accused of being too friendly and too submissive to the United States. The cry of the Maso men was for “no in- terference.” Scarcely had they got their campaign well launched, however, when they discovered that all the members of the board of scrutiny were sup- porters of Palma. Thereupon they at once ceased clamoring against American interference and set about trying to obtain such interference on their behalf. In one of the Maso memorials to General Wood it is stated that the Palma men, not content with placing their supporters in control of the election boards, so manipulated the list of persons eligible as senatorial electors as tc prevent the Maso party from getting suitable candidates for that office. In de- scribing what has occurred in Havana as an illustra- tion, the statement of the Maso memorial alleges that out of a list of 240 of the heaviest taxpayers made by the Ayuntamiento, from among whom the parties have to select candidates for senatorial elect- ors, twenty-five are dead and eighty are foreigners. A number of the most prominent and wealthy Cu- bans are not included in the list, while the names of a number of bankrupts appear. Many persons named in the list cannot be identified owing to the incomplete way their names are inscribed. The offenses charged in the Havana district are said to be typical of what has been committed in the way of political chicanery throughout the island, and the United States authorities have been asked to investi- gate them. Any investigation, however, would ne- cessarily entail an interference with the election, and that is just what the United States intends to avoid. However, we gain nothing by refusing to interfere, for the Maso party, finding that we will not help them, have turned upon us and denounce our Gov- ernment for assisting Palma. At a recent meeting of the Maso leaders there was adopted a resolution declaring: “The central board is a coalition of partisans, and that General Maso, after exhausting every means to insure impartiality, rectitude and justice at the coming elections, has be- come convinced that neither in official circles in the United States nor in Cuba does the intention exist to see that the elections are carried out with suffi- cient legality to reflect the real wish of the Cubans, who are desirous of independence and anxious to elect freely their first constitutional government.” The resolution has been approved by the Maso or- gans. One of them applauds the withdrawal of the party candidates and says that without the guaran- tees demanded of Secretary Root the clection will be a farce and “a falsification of the will of the people.” It adds: “The Maso coalition should not lend themselves to the betrayal of the public will, and should not co-operate in a policy which tends to lay the foundation of the republic in gigantic fraud.” Such being the relations between the two parties it seems clear that nothing but fear of the United States prevents them from fighting. Should Palma take office and the United States troops be withdrawn a revolt of the Maso party seems almost certain to follow. It will then be for the United States to de- cide whether to let the factions fight it out or estab- lish in the island an‘authority sufficient to keep the peace permanently. o e s A writer in the Westminster Gazette of London in describing American cities says: “San Francisco is a thing apart—the air of the Pacific seems to blow different impulses on the people, and great and glorious air, climate and scenery are there, bracing with the breeziness of the West.” Evyidently that fel- low has been here.
