A nuin bef of auxiliary vesels will be requir ed to attend to the daily needs of the fleet, and these vessels are now being elected by representatives of tli navy department. Nearly all the available craft in San Francisco har bpr wilt be called into this service, ami tor the purpose of selecting what is best fitted for the work, in pection are in daily progress. As to where the fleet will go after its visit in the Bay of San Francisco, there can be only conjecture, since even Secretary of the Navy Metcalf declares that no definite plan has been formulated, but the fact remains (hat if orders to go around the world should be received by Rear Admiral F.vans, he will be ready to proceed at a moment s notice for immediate ac tlon. These auxiliary vessels will add to the spectacular naval display in San Francisco harbor. They will be in service day and night, and with the coming and going of despatch boats, launches and other minor craft will upply a scene of continuous activity. Fatrol boats darting to and fro and the usual flotilla of the fleet will sup plement the life of the occasion, af fording an attractive outlook for the people of San Francisco and the visi tors within their gates. While San Francisco is assiduous ly engaged in preparing to welcome the fleet and to honor the officers and men who are to be the guests of the REPORT OF THE CONDITION OF THE ; . 11 At Astoria, in the State of Oregon, at the close of business, February RESOURCES.

Oakland, Berkeley and Alameda have appointed com mitties and are taking steps to show the attractions of their respective localities, Situ Jose, Sausalito, San Rafael, Vallejo, Richmond, and Hart ines are moving in the same direc tion. Sacrament, Auburn, Marys ville, Ukiah, Santa Rosa, and other interior points will vie with one an other in extending a welcome to the men who will come with the fleet. One feature of the receptions that wilt be provided is the welcoming of fraternity members by local lodges, It is estimated that there will be at least a thousand Odd Felows, nearly as many Knights of Pythias, hum) reds of Mattons, and that almost all the other secret societies wil be re presented among the crews of the fleet, Thexe members, of fraternal societies will be accorded special hon ors at the lodges that they visit, and will be made to feel that they are among brethren, thus adding to the homelike feeling and dispelling the idea that they are strangers in strange land. Not the least attractive feature of San Francisco to come under the ob scrvation of the visitors will be the vast progress made in the recoil struction of the city. California, through the State Cen tral organization, The California Pro motion Committee, has issued a call for labor, men, women, end boys of 16 or more, to work in the fruit orchards in gathering the golden har vest for the season of 1908. While at this writing there is an over supply of labor, by the first of June when the fruit season commences there will be work for all. The scarcity of lab' or has always been one of the pre plexing problems of the horticulturist in California, one for which as yet no adequate solution has been found. In consequences every year thousands of dollars are lost on fruit which can not be picked. Sometimes villages have turned out in masse and co operated in gathering in the crop, As time goes on the situation, in stead of being ameliorated, has be come more acute. Despite the rapid growth of population the spread of the fruit tree, the berry, and the vine has been much more rapid. The ex tension of irrigation system and there will be even greater activity of development in this respect during the succeeding years has worked to ward the cutting up of the , large tracts of land and , the consequent placing on the market of the 20 and 40 acres tracts, an encouragement to the small farmer and to diversified farming on the intensive plan. Taken as a whole the crops last year were not up to normal in quanti ty, and, basing predictions on the ex perience of past years, the prospects this season are for heavy crops. The rains during the past few weeks have confirmed these prospects, coming at a time when moisture was much need ed and falling generally throughout the State. The rainfall for the sea son is up to normal Snow is plenti ful on the mountains, insuring suffi cient water for irrigation during the summer. ' As an instance of the predicated bountiful crops, the , citrus reports may be taken. The growers' agency estimates a , bumper crop of lemons. For all these reasons California stands with open arms to surplus population of the East, offering the additional inducements of a worthily famed salubrity and a very low cost of living. Wages for ordinary un skilled labor range from $J.OO per day and board upward, and for piece work particularly in the canneries and pack ing houses, the daily earnings range from $2.50 to $4.00 per day. Realizing that the prospect of Steady mployment is a weightyd argument in inducing the influx of labor, many localities are offering inducements to capital to locate factories and in dustrial enterprises in the interior, thus giving opportunity for continu ous employment to those working, in season, in the orchards. The Committee will gladely enter into , correspondence with anyone evincing a desire to go to California.
