More fruit has been processed and packed than ever in the city's history. It has been a busy year for local factories, all of which have been in con tinuous operation, and though profits have not been large, the promise for the future is bright.

The captain leaped to his fect- and returned this salutution of warriors; tho door opened and closed, and the officer stood starinir at the amies so lately occupied by the man who, for eighteen months,, had been his right hand. "Strange man!" ha muttered. 4'I didn t know they bred nis kind any more. Why. he s a feudal baron!'' There were three people in the observation car when Michael Jos enh Farrel boarded it a few minnto before eight o'clock the following morning. Of the three, one was a girl, and, as Farrel entered, carry ing the souvenirs of his sevice a helmet and gas-mask she glanc ed at him with the interest which tho average civilian manifests in any soldier obviously just released from service and homeward bound. Farrel'g glance met hers for an in stant with equal interest; thon he turned to stow his impedimenta in the brass rack over his seat. He was granted an equally swift but more direct appraisal of her as. lie walk ed down the observation-car to the rear platform, where he selected a cnair in a corner that offered him sanctuary from the cold, fog-laden breeze, lighted a cigar, and surren dered himself to contemplaliiMT. in his mind's eye, tho joys of home coming. He had the platform to himself nn til after the train had passed Palo Alto, wlien others joined him. The first to emerge on the platform was a Japanese. Farrel favored him wita a cool, contemptuous scrutiny, for he was a Californian and did tint hold the members of this race in a tithe of the esteem he accorded other Orientals. This Japanese was rather shorter and thinner than the majority of his race.- He wore large, round tortoise-shell snneteloa and clothes that proclaimed the at tention of the very best tailors; a gold-band ring, set with one V.I,,. white diamond, and two exquisite sapphires, adorned the pudgy fin ger of his right hand. Farrel judged time nis gray beaver hat must have cost at least fifty dollars ''We ought to have Jim- Crow cars for these coclt-sure sons . of Nippon," the ex-soldier growled to himself.. "We'll come to It yet if something isn t done about them They breed so fast they'll have ns crowded into back seats in another decade. ' He haa n.aa some unpleasant clashes with Japanese troops in Si beria, and the memory of their stud ied insolence was all tho more rjoie- nant because it haa gone unchal lenged. He observed, now that thn Japanese passenger had permitted the screen door to slam in the face of the man following him; with a very definite appreciation of the good things of life, he had instant ly solected the chair in the corner opposite Farrel, where he could smoko his cigar free from the wind. Following tho Japanese came an American, as distinctive of hig class as the Japanese was of his. In point of age, this man was about fifty years old a Iarce man strik ingly handsome and of impressive personality. He courteously held the door open to permit the nassacB nf the girl whom Farrel had noticed wlien he first entered the car. 10 rarrci, at least, a surorisino- incident now occurred. There were eight vacant scats on the nlatfnrm and tno girl's glance swept them allr ne ianciea it rested longest upon tne chair beside him. Then nritk the faintest possible little of disapproval, she seated herself Desiae tne Japanese.
