-would 'be
accepted by the public, but not so atthe present time and only those houseswhich make a specialty of carryingonly the high grade Roods can hope tosucceed as the public or at any ratethe better class of the public refusesIts patronage to any. other. To thisclass of reliable houses the U. S. Barbelongs because of the fact that itsproprietor, John G. Althouse.

To servethe highest qualities of domestic andimported wines, liquors and cigars atthe lowest prices and to treat every-body with courtesy and affability arethe invariable rules of this house.

"It is stated that in the last fiveyears the number of acres in Californiadevoted to the sweet wine industry hasbeen increased by upward of 70,000
acres. In1901, according to the returns
of the county assessors, there were inCalifornia of bearing vines 202,000 acres,and of non-bearing vines 29,000 acres, atotal of 231,000 acres. This has beenlargely Increased by heavy planting inthe succeeding years so that the bear-ing acreage of 190S and 1906 willreach,it Is claimed, 250,000 acres. A large
part of this area is devoted to the cul-ture of Muscat grapes— at least 90,000acres.;;*;when raisin prices are good the crop
of these vineyards goes into drying,trays. On the other hand, when raisin<prices fall a large part of the muscatyield|is carted to the winery jpresses.Added to this acreage should be the22,500 acres on which table grapes areraised. '„'.*Here the growers are . accus-tomed to cull out the finer bearings forshipment and to send the remainder tothe': wineries. So the wineries in thesweet "wine district must be prepared to
receive varying quantities of grapes forcrushing, whether these were originally
"The large scale on which wine is
matiu InCalifornia is one of the reasonsfor pure wine at a minimum cost.
Hows of hundreds of wine tanks hold-Ing from 26,000 to 60,000 gallons each
ere not uncommon in California. Cali-fornia boasts the largest wine cisternin the world. This is the famous 500,000gallon wine tank in Sonoma county.
It is built of solid masonry under abill. After it was first emptied onehundred couples of prominent citizensdanced in its capacious interior to themusic ofa militaryband. The remark-able celebration of a ball in a winetank was the most unique demonstra-tion of the great scale on which wlne-jmaklng is now conducted in Cali-fornia.
• • • ;"The state has the climate, soil and
facilities for producing Just as much\u25a0wine and of as good quality as thatproduced in France, and when the de-mand will warrant it California willproduce one billion gallons of wine,
from which it willderive three hundredmillion dollars per annum, the amountthat product now gives to France.
Increase In Acreage
jThe wine industry of California is anenterprise that is fostered and encour-aged by federal laws, granting tax ex-emption to a certain extent in thefinished product of the vineyards. Thisexemption has resulted in greatly in-creasing the number of acres under cul-tivation and has given to the worldsome of the finest wines to be had in
any market of the world.In 1904 10,148 carloads of wine and
brandy were shipped out of the state,
of ,which 667 carloads were sent fromSouthern California winneries.
The sweet wine product is enormousand of the best quality. Producersstrive every year to increase the localconsumtplon, and consequently there is
a liotlcable increase in the demand Inthe public places and in the homes ofthe people.
California Leads the WorldRecently Andrew Sbarboro prepared
a paper on "California Wines for Allthe World." He wrote in part:
"Many are the productions in whichCalifornia excels. Its oranges andlemons find favor throughout theUnited States and other countries. Itsfruits of diverse quantities are furnish-ed fresh, dried or in cans, to consumersall over the world. Infact, Californiaseems to grow some of the products ofevery land, and oftentimes in great
abundance. Among all the states ofthe union,. the grape, both for raisinand wine purposes, Is produced only in
California to the same perfection as inPrance, Italy and Spain.
"Already California is not only sup-
plyingthe people of the United Stateswith its delicious wine, but the peo-ple of England, Germany, Switzerland,
Belgium, and the inhabitants of China,
Japan and the orient are purchasing
California wines, for which they pay
higher prices and which they prefer to
the wines of Europe.
Climate Is Favorable „"Nothing cheaper can be used In
making wine in California than thepure Juice of the grape. Though in-ferior goods are dear at any price, yet
the statement is literally true, for thegrape in California yields a larger
tonnage per acre, and on account ofCalifornia's favorable climate and the
modern appliances used, it can beturned into wine at a minimum cost.Whilst the wines of Europe are gener-
ally made in small wineries and kept
in' diminutive casks, California con-
tains the largest wineries in the wideworld and the wines are here stored in
cooperage of immense size."While in Europe the special varie-
ties of grapes are only produced Incer-tain localities, it is surprising that in
many parts of California there may beeeen growing to perfection in rows,
miles and miles in length and side by
side, the most diversified assortment
of many of the finest varieties of theold world grapes— grapes of the excel-
lence of generations, from which comesmost of the noted vintages of the earth,
and which are in Europe found in re-gions often far removed.
• * •The
Juicy grapes are turned into wines asdelicious and with the same bouquetand flavor as those made in Europe.
