In fact, all the repre- sentative citizens believe that greater growth and prosperity than Fruitvale has ever known will soon be seen.

FORSEE -G STANISLAUS CEREALS. Interesting Experiments to Determine Value of Irrigating Grain Fields. The Modesto News gives an Interest- ing account of experiments in the line of irrigating grain lands in Stanisiaus County. The News says in part: As preliminary to similar experiments to be made in this section pext year and as part of the irrigation studies now being carried on in Modesto and Turlock Irrigation districts in co- operation with the Stage University and the State Board of Examiners, Frank Adams, ir- rightion assistant in tBe office of experiment stations of the United States Department of Agriculture, recently frrigated two acres of barley three miles east of Ceres, on the farm of C. N. Whitmore, to determine somethi ol the feasibility of irrigating grain in the desto and Turlock districts. To-Gay a ND?.- sentative of the News saw several stools of the irrigated grain and several stools from the same field that were not irrigated.

Standard Oil Enterprise at Point Rich- | mond Is Largely Extended. The growth of the 8tandard Oil Com- | pany’s great refining plant at Point Richmond is rapid. According to the Point Richmond Record the capacity of the plant has been doubled within a year. The Record says: This seasor the company has built an im- mense acid plant, covering an area of more than an acre of land, The acid plant is oniy all part of the refinery’'s expansion and ¢ an auxiliary to the plant proper. vear ago the distilling capacity of the works s been more than doubled and almost $1,000,- €00 has been expended for machinery and additicnal buildings.

There is a prospect, so says the Hum- | boldt Standard, that a canal may be. constructed to lead the waters of the| Eel River into Humboldt Bay of suf-| ficient capacity to accommodate water | traffic between the Eel River gection and the bay. No definite action has! been taken. The Standard says that this is the revival of a scheme that has been talked of for years—to dig a canal | around the seaward base of Table Bluft | connecting the Eel River by means of] the sloughs with South Bay. It is ru- mored that the Hammond interests are back of the plan. v o Reliable ‘gas ranges $16 50, regular price $20, this week only at S. F. Gas | & Electric Co., 415 Post st.
