We are not guilty of making a charge of $287 or thereabouts for goods worth only $75 or $80. If we were, we would feel like going to our customers and giving it back -and then talk about honesty and truth. If some people would do as they advertise, there would have to be a lot of money refunded, and a big drop in prices. When you DEAL WITH us you are used right. The truth will soon be found out.

NOTES OF TRAVEL. (Continued from Front Plage.). erect by mountains and that much is. still desert (unirrigated) the following State returns are significant had show the shipments OUT of the State for 1903 :- Green deciduous fruits -.101,108 tons Citrus fruits (oranges, etc.) 200,023 tons Dried fruits ..... . . . . . . .....140,531 tons Raisins .... 89,903 tone Canned fit i 01,201 i t t ., ,. tons Nuts 0,3r"7 tons Put in another forrn, there were shipped out of the State in 1903, fruit, vegetables, wine, etc, 88,081 earloads ; of oranges alone there were 2,246 car- loitdN Urauges and lemons are grown chief• ly in Southern. California ; the fresh deciduous fruits come from northern and central counties ; the raisin centre is Fresno eouuty and vicinity ; the prune centre is Santa Clara county ; walnuts come chiefly from the south, almonds from the north ; fresh peach. es, pears, cherries, plums and apri- cots nearly all come from north of the Tehachapi range ; the olive is found in the valleys and in the foot- hills up to 2000 feet altitude. Dairying is also a very important industry of the State -for instance, in 1903, California produced, nearly 35 million pounds of butter valued at nearly nine million` dollars ; cheese, over ° seven million pounds, worth nearly a million dollars. The stock figures, we did not secure; of sugar beets, there were raised in 1003, 65,360 tons, The lumber industry is also Im- portant, for last year the but was 852 million feet,. When to all these are added the mine products and that of the oil wells, it will be seen that Cali- fornia is most wonderfully productive along many lines. By extension of the irrigation systems, it is destined to show much greater development in agricultural products, But we might write almost indefi• nitely and these letters have gone far beyond our original outlines ; and yet much has been curtailed or omitted, and there yet remains the return trip which being by a different route, had scenery and points of interest peculiar to itself. Pleasant as residence in delightful California is, duty calls homeward, and we chose for the return trip -first the Southern Pacific Coast line. Leaving Los Angeles, we turn north- ward and pass through the fertile Ven- tura county. At Oxnard, we reach the Pacific ocean, and for hours we glide along its shores, with the Sierras a few miles to the east. The names of the stations wo pass give a clue to the early settlement of the State -for in- stance, San Buena Ventura, Guade- loupe, Santa Barbara, San Luis Obis - quo and others, alt of Spanish origin. We learned that the prefix "San" was masculine, and "Santa" the feminine. Santa Barbara is a popular tourist re- sort. At Summerland, we enter a forest of oil derricks, many of them standing out in the ocean, only a few feet apart; lightly -built piers being necessary to reach them. The South- ern Pacific Railway has very extensive oil fields, and its. engines are oil -burn- ers. Many of the leading country roads in California are sprinkled with crude oil instead of water and it is said that two applications are sufficient for the dry season (from April to•Novem• her in ,.Southern California). North of San Luis Obisquo, we cross the Sierras. First, the foot•hiils and valleys, beautifully green and fertile, for here are evidences of more rain than in the south ;'then by degrees, the valleys become deeper, the hills more conical and higher; curves be- come very decided "horse shoes"; soon we again see the snow-capped peaks projecting upwards through the fleecy clouds, forming a pretty contrast to the velvety green of the deepest val- ley, the brown of the bare mountain side, and the blacker hue of the vol- canic formations seen here and there.

Here were eon- stt'ucted the battleships -Charleston, San Francisco, Olympia, Oregon and Ohio ; 1000 men are here employed, The Mint, where Uncle Sam's money is coined, is on the cornier of Mission and Fifth streets; visitors are admit- ted daily (except Sundays and holi- days) from 0 to 11.30 rte, Me and a visit to it is instructive,. If the tourist is eo inclined, he niay visit that peculiar yet interesting pet of San Francisco, known as Chinatown. But he had better secure a guide; then. he may see sights to renternber and glimpses of the actual life of the Chinese. Trin- kets, he may buy by the score, if he will, and if inclined, he may visit the opium dens and get a picture of the shady side of humanity not elsewhere obtainable. Chinatown covers" about twelve blocks, and within• this area there live 20,000 Chinese, though the full Chinese population of the city is placed at 40,000. Across the Bay lies the pretty and busy city of Oakland, population 90,- 1100 ; it has large shipping facilities, and its docks are scenes of great ac- tivity. On January 27, 1901, 273 ves- sels were counted in its harbor. Six- teen thousand cars are transported across the Bay, per month, and 210 trains are handled daily at the Oak- land pier alone. But instead of taking the Coast line to San Francisco, the traveller may take the Valley route east of the Sierra Madre range, then his way will lie through a rich agricultural valley noted for its fruit productions ; this valley is perhaps 400 miles long by 75 miles width, and presents a picture of beauty and prosperity worth behold- ing. But we must refrain from en- largement or this series of letters will extend for weeks yet. Now we find ourselves at the im- mense ferry station at the foot of Mar- ket street, San Francisco, and soon an board the mammoth ferry boat. So- lano. Half an hour later we are land- ed at Oakland pier. Here the South- ern .Pacific Overland Limited is wait- ing, a palatial train of Pullman sleep- ers alone ; each car has electric lamp in berth, and each berth, electric bell to summon the porter if necessary. Soon we cross the "mole" covering another arm of the Bay and then our entire train is rushed on to a huge ferry. Ere long, we are again on solid land and turn north=eastward, In a few hours we are at Sacramento and then we pass through the fertile Sac. ramento valley, with its beautiful scenery and fruitful orchards. In a few hours, however, the scene changes, Once more we are in the foot -hills ; another mountain range is before us ; our mountain engines toil up the steep ascent by serpentine curves on moun- tain edges, and as we near the pass, we are again in the snow limits. Here was an entirely new experience for the writer -the snowsheds-not mere- ly a mile or two, tent the train officials informed us that there were 45 miles of them, almost continuous. These sheds are built of strong timbers and lumber, covering the tracks. In the winter, they support the weight of thousands of tons of snow.
