Dr. Upton's fruit ranch In Fruildal
beats' the world prolific cherry trees.
He has the "Late1 Duke" variety and
It is surprising to see the number of
twin ' and triplet cherries produced

cherries slightly grown together and
it is very common for twin cherries to
be found on single stems. The crop
Is very large and the doctor is elated
over his fruit ranch, as he has a right

REAL MOUNTAIN CLIMBERS
Horseback Party Returns After a

Mr. and Mrs. G. S. Blrnle and
Misses Ruth Russell and Nell Grlm
raett have returned from a horseback
trip Into the wilds of the Mlnam which
for mountain climbing evidently has
all othet records beaten. Each of the
party was mounted on a trusted, horse
which knows the mountain climbing
game. They scaled the mountains at
the head of the Mlnam, and In fact'
entered regions where It is doubtful!
If even a sheepherder or a prospector
had ver been. The fishing was ex
cellent and it was no trouble at all
to catch trout until they grew tired !
of the sport. They pronounce this '
Journey one of the most delightful
any of the party had ever experienced, .

SOUTHERN PACIFIC HAS MOYED A
, RECORD C1WP.
2,844 Carloads Shipped by That Line
. Alone : .:
San Francisco, August 1. (Special)
The Southern Pacific company has
practically completed one of the great
est, crop movements In, the history of
anv transportation company in this"
country. This movement was the
handling oft he cantaloupe crop of
the Imperial valley, California, and
of the crop In Arizona and Nevada.
Up to and Including midnight, July
24, the Southern Pacific company had
shipped 2.S44 cars of cantaloupes out
of the Imperial valley during the sea
son of approximately 2 months. About
100 more cars remain to be shipped
j from this point to the markets.
! This record exceeds all previous
shipments by approximately 100 cars.
The cantaloupe crop of Arizona up to
and Including July 24, amounts to
403 cars, with about 300 cars more of
this fruit to be shipped. About 23 cars

have already teen shipped from the
Moapa district in Nevada by the San
Pedro, Los Angeles and Salt Lake road
about 100 more cars remaining to be
shipped.'-
Nearly 57,000,000 pounds of Ice were
required for the shipping of these
cantaloupes. The biggest day's pick
ing was June 11 when 133 carloads
were h irvested. These "cars wen
hauled from Brawley, the shipping
center, to Imperial Junction on the
main line of the Southern Pacific, In
one train, the length of w.hlch was 6,
175 feet considerably more than a mile
long. There were 324 crates in each
car and 45 melons to the crate, or a
total number of 14,580 melons In acii
car and 1m thlg' long train 1,939,140
melons. The large previous trainload
of cantaloupes was shipped from the
Imperial valley in 1908, 89 cars mov
ing over the Southern Pacific lines to
eastern points. When one appreciates
the fact that each of these melons was
handled at least three times, in pick
ing, wrapping and crating, they can
readily imagine the army of men nec
essary in the field to do this work.
Two and a quarter million dollars is
the estimate of value put on the Im
perial valley cantaloupe crop, now
that the season l8 near its end. One
