California's Crops
January 8, 1907
." Fruitgrowers yesterday decided
that this summer's Cherry fair, at
the time of the Pacific Coast Nur
serymen's . association convention
here, shall be enlarged to include
show of all fruits and flowers In
season at that time.
Senator Coshow yesterday In
troduced Into the senate a bill for
protection of the workingman and
mechanic in putting forward
claims against corporations and
companies for personal injuries.
The most talked-of bill intro
duced Into the legislature this
session will come up for consid
eration tomorrow. It Is the act
for creation of the Railroad Com
mission oi Oregon, carrying a
$50,000 appropriation.
WHAT is the second most important crop grown in Cal
ifornia? Everyone would guess citrus fruit as the crop
ranking first; but what is second? You never would guess so
we will have to tell you: it is hay. Surprising, is it not? The
wizards of crop statistics at . Sacramento have completed
4fepir tables for 1931 production and hay is second m the list
of important crops, and it has been there for some years.
The value of the citrus crop last year was $76, 90,000, and
the size in number of boxes one of the largest in history, per
haps the largest, 44,300,000 boxes, which compares with 31,
300,000 boxes in 1929 with a value of $119,640,000. The 1931
bay crop was three and three quarter million tons worth
! $38,218,000; the 1929 hay crop of a little over four million
tons was worth over $67,000,000; which shows how prices
have slumped in recent years.
' I The third most valuable crop in California is grapes,
which mighfbe guessed; and this includes raisins, dried and
fresh, table and juice grapes, but the grape business isn t
what it used to be either in quantity or price. The fourth
crop in point of value will come as another surprise, it is not
peaches or nuts, but lettuce. This is the development of the
Imperial valley and other parts of southern California. The
country surely ate a lot of salad last year because the Cali
fornia production alone was over twelve million crates worth
TiAftrlv twentv million dollars.
, Next after lettuce comes beans, old-fashioned beans, not
the aristocrats of the diet like oranges and lettuce, but army
and navy beans. Other crops in order were: cantaloupes,
prunes, nuts, peaches, asparagus, sugar beets, apricots, bar
ley, apples, potatoes, cotton, pears, peas, tomatoes, rice.
The 1931 prune production was 173,000 tons, bringing
h ten millions. Peaches took the worst licking in prices of
any of the crops, the drop being from $15,495,000 in 1930 to
$8,744,000 in 1931. Sugar beet production is expanding, 1931
showing a gain of 25,000 acres and 300,000 tons over 1930.
California has branched out in cotton growing in recent years
but the 1931 crop brought in only $5,628,000xompared with
$22,265,000 in-1929. Though the pear production was 24,000
tons more in 1931 than in 1929 the value declined from $13,
063,000 to $4,906,000. . .
I We make considerable sport of California, her climate
and her boastful citizens. But Calif ornia is a great state, pro
ducing a vast amount of mineral, agricultural and horticul
tural wealth. And California is undoubtedly our best cus
tnmpr. buvinor annuallv millions of dollars worth of lumber,
flour, fish, and other products; and her citizens leave many
thousands of dollars annually in visiting Oregon, their sum
mer playground. '
; Bancroft Bonds
IITIES are waking up to the burdens Jthey will have to
V carry under the Bancroft act which makes the city re
sponsible for the principal and interest of bonds issued for
street improvements. Eugene for example finds that the in
terest from improvement districts is behind $107,000; and
the city is losing $6,000 a year interest on this sum. More
over a million dollars of improvement bonds fall due in a
few years and some property will doubtless go delinquent.
While the city may take over the delinquent property it will
take considerable time for it to make resales and get its mon
ey back. So Eugene is starting to wrestle with its problem
Stow before it becomes more acute.
i In Salem the last audit showed that the city general
fund had been dipping into the street improvement fund. It
was also found that if all the assessments could be collected
the sum would not cover the outstanding-irayrovement bonds.
So Salem cannot afford to let matters drift along. There
should be more diligent effort made in collecting the assess
ments, and property which is badly delinquent should be fore
. closed on and resold.
''I' It is poor policy to temporize with public liabilities; and
it is not too early for the Salem city council to sharpen its
pencils and do some diligent figuring.
An Island Memorial
A NALOSTAN island of ninety acres lying in the Potomac
XTL river in front of Washington has been purchased by the
Roosevelt Memorial association for a memorial to Theodore
Roosevelt. It is a historic soot, first owned by Lord Balti
more, and later the property of the Mason family, the ruins
- of the Mason manor house still standing amidst the riot of
- vesretation. The island has long been unoccupied, is overrun
. with trees and brush. While plans have not been made for
the Improvement of the island, it will undoubtedly.be made
part of the Washington park system and some monumental
work erected thereon in memory of the great Roosevelt. In
location the island is lust above the new George Washington
memorial bridge which leaves the north shore just below the
Lincoln memorial. The tip of the island is almost in line with
the .Lincoln memorial, Washington monument and the na
tional camtal.
Washington b already one of the most beautiful of
cities. With the proper treatment this Analostan island may
be made into one of the most lovely spots m the national
capital. t
The government has allotted over twenty million dollars to
the Indiana for the next nscai year, if tunes no not pics up we looa ;
for a strong movement to tarn the country back to the ' reds.

SYNOPSIS
Bob Harknesa, respected ranch
er is the Mexican border town of

as entertainer at a notorious resort;
She is In lore with him and acta aa

employs her to entangle Ted to

Adela and Mrs. Blount visit Bob.
Bob ' looked at Adela. "This,
young lady, should be a warning and
lesson. See to what depths the
high passion of young love must
come at last."
Adela smiled. "I'm terribly fright
ened, but 1 know that if anyone
threatened the major. Aunt Clara
twould be the first to scratch."
"Hear, hear." applauded that lady,
in high derision.
Bob's eyes softened, "I'm just
wondering," be told her, "what I
wouldn't give to be just your age

and perhaps to know again what lore

Aunt Clara dropped her cigarette.

Adela laid -her hand against the
rancher's cheek. "Get well, soon, old
friend, and IH tell you another story
perhaps a love story. And Vu
leave you to find lot me the happy
ending."
"There'll be a happy ending, some
how. Never doubt it, Adela mia.
But before that night was over.
the hope of any happy ending was
farther away than ever before. ,

CHAPTER X LI 1
"Bob," asked Adela. "if El Coy
ote's cause is just, why does he plun
der like a bandit
"Hs uses the best tools and meth
ods he finds, like any other wise
leader. If the law cannot uphold him
in what he does, he must go outside
the law. Don't forget that jevery
great revolutionist was first a bandit
Itis only when he wins that he
becomes patriot and liberator. Here,
where Morales is law, every enemy
of his becomes an outlaw.
"That means, then, there will be
open war?"
Bob nodded silently.
The major's wife was showing
signs of impatience. "Nobody asks
me for my opinion, and that's a great
mistake, for here it is. The trouble
with this border country is that
has too many saviors. OS and on.
between transfers, I've been here
thirty-five years. I know 1 don't look
that old. thank you all very much.
Well, every year I re spent here has
been oversupplied with saviors of
one kind or another. Morales thinks
he's one; the government thinks it's
one; perhaps El Coyote does. What
they need, these people, is to be left
alone. Give them peace from ideas.
Drop it alll Let them cultivate their
lands, herd their animals, and have
their babies, although God knows
they do very well in that last matter.
But let them alone."
Bob smiled. "Dear lady. 1 think
that is exactly what El Coyote would
like to do to see them left alone."
"But if he breaks Morales's power.
will he let them alone, or will it be
just an exchange of slave drivers?"
"1 think in that event El Coyote
would be well content to disappear.'
1 on re so conversant with his
plans, if you weren't so lazy, I'd
suspect you of being EI Coyote.
Bob s amused eyes never changed.
1 wonder just what kind of bad
man I'd make. First of all I'd kid
nap the major and hold him for
torn.
Aunt Clara gave her baritone
chuckle. "Who de you think would
ransom him? Me after the atrocious
bridge that man has foisted on me
for thirty years? Yon tell your kid
naping band to come over any time.
Bob. Ill leave the door unlocked.
IB eren hare the major's bag
packed.
For it was on that evening Bob
had sent Ted over to Mendoza's to
bring Ana Reed out to the hacienda.
Ann has some information, be
told Ted. "She won't trust it eren to
ManueL I've sent word that you
would come for her."
in the little roadster Ted came for
her just before sunset As he circled
the driveway at klendozas a Mex
ican stood eagerly watching from
among the palms in the patio. H
waited in patient immobility among
the shadows until Ted and the girl
entered the roadster, then he drove
rapidly out toward the hacienda of
Paco Morales.
Not until she was seated on Bob'
porch and the cigarettes lighted did
the girl begin. Then, as she sat there
smoking, Ann told them oi the visit
of Morales and of his seeking for
information of El Coyote. Through
it all Bob smiled silently.
"I think the old devil suspects."
Bob said at last "Weil, unless he
moves quickly', his suspicions won't
help him. Manuel and 1 are laying
plans of our own. What else is new,
little oracle of the border?"
She turned toward Raddiffe.
"There was something 1 learned that
may interest you. You know, they
talk much of you over at Mendoza a
They talk of your strength and of
the time you threw Jito. and always

others at our table, and for a time
Mendoza was with him. When they
spoke your name this man from
Sonora remembered something about
you. I made him talk it's never
very hard to make you men talk. He
told me that some years ago a piece
oi land had been transferred from
father to. son. and the records of it
were entered with his law firm. He
said that the land was ia your name."
Bob leaned forward. "What did he
call the land?"
"He called it the Esperanza prop
erty.
tsperanzar boos gray eyes
sparkled. "Good Lord, that boldr
two of the best waterholes ia this
part of the country." He drummed
with his fingers on the porch rail
"It would be too food," be mur-mured.
Ted's own eyes were bright with
excitement. "That was the name,'
he cried. "That was the name dad
used the last night we talked. But
how would it get transferred to me?"
"1 can only. guess." Bob replied.
"Your father must have transferred
it before the crash came. He must '
hare bought that tract when he was
laying plane to irrigate the valley,
and Morales never knew. That's the
best of it Morales, of course, thought
it went op in smoke with the rest of
those concessions. Won't that old
octopus squirm when he learns that
one hundred thousand acres of the
best range land be has been using
belongs to youl"
"But 1 still don't understand. Why
couldn't anyone have bought it?
Why did Morales take the chance of
losing it?"
No one could have bought it be
cause it wasn't for open sale. To get
it yoa had to have first a concession
from the government Your father
got that concession' long ago with
Morales's influence when they were
partners. But neither Morales nor I
knew he actually bought any land.
Then, through Morales's treachery.
your father lost those concessions,
but in between he must have made
fast to that one tract of land, the
Esperanza. Meanwhile, Morales has -
gone on nsing it as he uses dozens
of others, preferring that it remain
the property of the Mexican govern
ment and without expense to him."
Suddenly he stopped. 1 hat is, of
course, if it's all true. Who told yoa
this?"
"I can't remember. He wrote his
name and the law firm down for me.
1 hare his card in my room."
Ted looked at his friend. "This
means as soon ss you're better I
leave for Sonora. If that land is
really mine, I'm going to start a little
squeezing on my own side of the line.
Morales will find he's got a new
neighbor.
But Don Bob had already risen in
his chair. "If the .tale's true it will
be a bad blow for Morales's dream
of empire. Oh, ff s too good to wait
fori Let's ride over with Ann. I
want to see that name. Then I can
do some telegraphing to an amigo
m Sonora. HeU tell us quick
enough."
The girl looked at him in quick
concern. "Are you able to drive to
Mendoza's?"
Bob's voice was confident "Dear
girl. I're recovered. You've been the
best little doctor in the world."
He went inside, strapped on his
shoulder holster, and led them down
the steps. In the darkness as they
drove up at Mendoza's none noticed
the long limousine parked in the
shadow of the patio. Before they
reached the door Bob stopped.
Ann better not be seen with me.
Yon two go in ahead, ill take a
table and Ted can get that card from
yoa and join me."
She led Radcliffe down the long.
darkened hall, and throwing open
the door of her room, turned on the
light "Sit down a moment," she
said and, closing the door, stepped
behind the tapestry that bung before
her small dressing-room. In a mo
ment she had returnd with a card,
but aa the man rose to go she shook
her head. "I've got to sing soon, but
I want to talk to you now for fire
minutes while you're here alone. It's
attout yon." She reached for the
spangled dress and a pair of stock
ings, then disappeared behind the
tapestry, and Ted heard her kicking
off her shoes.
I wanted to warn you that you're
in danger very real danger," came
the voice. "Morales suspects you are
in lore with his niece. He's afraid
she is beginning to love you."
"How do yoa know?"
For s moment he heard only the
soft rustle of silk, then she answered:
"Morales himsell Two days ago he
came here. He offered me money to
entangle yon. so that she would hate
yoa. I agreed be cause se long as he
hopes this plan may succeed you will
come to no harm. After that I'm
