HHHH Pre-Cooling Tests Satisfactory LOS ANQELES, Cal., Sept.,24. Satisfactory to the shippers, it L? reported, are the results of the tests .made in pre-cooling and refrigerat ing citrus fruit shipments from Cali fornia to the East, as shown by the testimony introduced in the hearing before the International Commerce -of -commission, which optned Sep tember 9.4 In 'the hearinz last spring tho shippers claimed that only about nine and a half tons of ice weree re quired to refrigerate a car to Chi cago, while railroad wittne&ses as serted that 16 tons were necessar. The actual tests, agreed to by in spectors for all parties, hoved an average of 10,955 pounds used in 754 cars, or a triflo more thun the shippers said. By the Ogden route an average of 34,535 pounds were used in 112 cars, but it was shown ihut' part of this weight was estimat ed, and when actual weights of the ice were made the estimate weights were not born out. It was shown -aslo thnt shipments prce-cqolcd by the growers went through in better shape than those by the railroads. Only a few cars showed decay among the pro-cooling shipments, and these few usually had been opened enroute or were an unusual long time on the Toad. The ordinary refrigerator shipments on the other hand, showed 284 cars decayed out of a total of 5201 cars shipped. Thee evidence was taken before Charles A. Pourty of the Interstate Commerce commission in the fede ral court room at the Tajo building Railroad traffic and refrigerating manngors were here attending tlio hearing and many citrus fruit grow lers listoned to the proceedings. The growers were represented by A. P. Call, Joseph H. Call and P. E. Mat thews the lattcer a traffic expert of Chicago. The hearing related only to refrig erating charges and rules. The .growers asked to have the present .refrigerating charges of $02,50 to Chicago and proportionate rates far ther east declared iujust and excess ive, and also asked the commission to decide that the railroads have no right, power or authority to enact any refrigerating or icing- charges "whatever on the citrus fruit thut pro-icod, pre-coolcn nnd pie-iced by ithe shipper, nnd thnt such charges lie dcelared illegal, null and void. This rofers to the $30 orbitrary olinrge which the railroads made when tho shippers iced' their own ears. Enrl Dezollo, who had chargoo of the tests for the growers, gave the tabulation conserning tho results of the tests, The results were tabulat ed us agreed on by the inspectors for the growers and the shippers, Mr. Dezello answered questions ask ed by P. E. Matthews, atorney for the growers, explanatory of thetablc The first exhibit showed that 744 cars shipped over the Santa Fe un der the ordinary refrigeration and iced at San Bernardino and at other points when needed through to Ar gentic, Kan:, used an averago of 19,955 pounds of ice. Of these cars 391 shipped in the last part of April used an average of 19,093 pounds, 235 cars in May test used 20,120 and 61 cars in July used 23,945 pounds. These mouths wore taken because the represent tho heav iest movement of fruit under refrige ration. Mr. Dczelle said 35 cars in the lust test wcreo caught in a wash out in Arizona and took more ice accordingly, Some of them wcro iced twice at Needles. On shipments made on the So a thorn Pacific by the way of Ogden, iced from Coltou past Waterloo or Clinton, Iowa. 122 cars used an averago of 24,535 pounds. In 25 cars shipped bl ElPaso the average amount of ice used was 10, 738 pounds. Taking up tho ques tion of decay, Mr. Dczelle said that if fruit showed notjo exceed 3 per cent decay at its destination it was considered sound. From the shipp ers' prc-cooling at East' Highland, 124 car were shipped pro-cooled and pre-iced by the growers and they nil arrived at their destination in sound condition. From the Ponoma pre-cooling plunt 205 cars were ship ped up to August 20, aud only 3 of th cm bhowed more thun 3 per cent decay at destination. Five of these nevcii earn showed that they hud been opened enroute as their origi nal seal liad been broken. Of the two cars, one was thirty-seven days on tho road, and the others sistecu. From Pasadena 7 cars wore shipped pre-coolcd, and one of them showed 7 per cent decay. It was twenty days on the road. From u new plant at Uplands, 32 cars wore shippod, pre-coolcd, aud three of them showed more than C per cent decay. These three cars, Mr, Dezello said, came from uuothor association thun thut doing the shipping, except half a car and that half car went through sound. A Los Angeles ico plant nisi pro-cooled cars hero by contract nnd of 420 cars thus precooled, all but 31 went through without decay. Of those 31, 2 cars showed 15 to 20 per ceont decay, but there was one grade in each car made up of fruit packed off tho ground after it had fallen from tho trees, Mr Dezollo oxplani cd that this fruit had been shipped into Los Angeles from outsido and it took from twenty-four to forty-five (hours to get it into the plant after For tSale by M00R-EHN1 CO. 213 Fruitgrowers' Bank Bdg RANCH PROPERTY 10 acres bearing fruit, V miles out $15,000 10 acres bearing fruit; good buildings, 1 miles out... .7....... ...$15,000 2V1 acres truck and berry land, water, buildings, 1 1-4 miles $2500 10 acres truck and berry land, water rights, barn .... $3750 8V acres fruit,, good build ings, tools and stock, close in $7000 20 acres all fruit, 10 bearing, a bargain $12,500 7 acres bearing fruit, good buildings, 1 miles out .... $9000 30 acres near Central Point, part bearing, good build ings, water, a bargain $16000 240 acres best fruit land, part bearing, house aud barn, 4 miles out, per acre $300 35-acres, all in fruit, 'build ings, spring, wells, stock, -tools $17,500 40 acres near Central Point, fruit and alfalfa, worth $400 per acre $12,000 CITY PROPERTY 5-rom' bungalow, modern .... :$2500 8-room house, 3-4r acre $1800 Pines residence lots on 8th St $500 to $700 6-room modern house $27Q0 5-rom modern cottage $2000 2-story house, lot 168x258, $2000 5-room modern cottage $2100 Fine residence lots and dwellings in all parts of the city FIRE INSURANCE, BEST COMPANIES CAI.L AT OFF ICE OR PHONE MAIN 2592 packing.
