The official returns of the November election in three Pacific Coast States, California, Oregon and Washington, have been declared and they show a more surprising change in political division than do the returns from any other group of States in the country. In 1896 Bryan polled 143,000 votes in California; this last election he had 125,000. In Oregon he had 46,000 votes four years ago; last year he had only 33,000. In Washington he had 51,000 votes four years ago; and only 44,000 last election. In these three Pacific Coast States, the Bryan vote fell of from 241,000 to 203,000, a loss of 38,000 in four years. Mr. McKinley's votes in California was 146,000 four years ago; and 164,000 in 1900, a gain of 18,000. In Oregon the McKinley figures were 48,770 in 1896, and 46,500 in 1900. In Washington the McKinley vote was 39,000 in 1896; this year it was 57,500, the total increase of the Republican vote in the three States being 43,000 in four years. A Bryan majority of 7,000 on the Pacific Coast in 1896 was transformed into a McKinley majority of 65,000 at the last election. The Mother's Favorite. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is the mother's favorite. It is pleasant and safe for children to take and always cures. It is intended especially for coughs, colds, croup, and whooping cough, and is the best medicine made for these diseases. There is not the least danger in giving it to children for it contains no opium or other injurious drug and it may be given as confidently to a babe-as to an adult. For sale by P. A. Derge.

ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, JANUARY 3. 1901. GROWING OF FOREST TREES. An Interesting Bulletin Issued by the United States Government. A bulletin has just been issued by the Department of Agriculture at Washington which treats of the collection of trees, seeds and propagation of seedlings. The art of forest tree seedlings and planting trees is but little known among the farmers. For whom it has very great economic interests. The greater interest centers about the Western planter because of his greater need for wood material, and also because the growth of trees under his conditions is most difficult. The importance of establishing wood lots or shelter belts on farms that lack them is no less obvious than the necessity of raising the staple crops. The provident farmer cannot afford to buy corn and wheat. A part, if not all, of the wood material used on the farm can and should be grown there. The profit on this timber growth rightly belongs to the farmer, and it is therefore one which economic agriculture cannot neglect. The farmer or other land-owner who contemplates planting forest trees must provide his stock either by raising it or buying it. To the average farmer the cost of this planting material, however small, is likely to be an important consideration. It is therefore always desirable and often indispensable that the farmer, by collecting seeds and raising seedlings himself, should reduce the cost of forest planting as much as possible. Most farmers can, without inconvenience or extra expense, give the attention and labor necessary for planting and cultivation. It will often be difficult in one locality to find all the desirable kinds of trees from which to collect seeds. The honey locust and Kentuckey coffee-tree pods are usually thrown down by the wind during the fall and early winter, and may then be easily picked up. Care must be taken that hogs or cattle do not destroy locust pods before they can be gathered. It is not well however, to depend so much on winter collecting, for then the presence of seeds is largely accidental. Several broadleaf trees, such as the red and silver maple and elms, mature their seed in the spring or early summer months, but the majority of tree seeds are ripe from September to November. Among broadleaf trees the greatest amount of seed is produced by those growing in the open, where, in the full enjoyment of light they develop low, broad crowns. Every country lad knows that the hickories and walnuts growing in fields and fence corners bear the best and largest quantities of nuts. The low stature of these trees will also afford the easiest collecting. If none of these are at hand, trees along the border of a forest and those in an open or scattered stand will give the next best supply of seeds, but on account of their usually greater height of crown forest-grown trees will be more difficult to collect from. Among conifers also scattered trees and those in an open forest are generally more productive of seed than trees in a dense stand. But such conifer as spruces, firs, larches and arbovitaes, which have narrow conical crowns, bear seed chiefly at the top, and are therefore very productive even in a moderately close stand. The keeping of tree seeds in such a condition that they will germinate when planted is one of the most difficult problems. Some seeds will retain their vitality for one or more seasons when stored in an ordinary grain room, while others will lose their vitality completely under such conditions in a few months or even in a few days. FIRE THREATENS GREAT LOSS For a Time It Seemed the Greater Portion of the Town Would Go up in Smoke. An explosion of gasoline in Hahn’s livery stable on Friday afternoon, Dec. 28th, at 3 o’clock, resulted in the total destruction of that building, together with the house in which oil was stored in the rear of Dickel’s grocery, and the barns and sheds adjoining. For a time the fire threatened the destruction of the Dickel building, and other structures in the neighborhood. The gasoline was used to furnish power for an engine operating a horse clipping machine. Hahn was in the act of clipping a horse when the explosion occurred, with a loud report, scattering five gallons of the inflammable fluid in every direction. The building was a frame structure, and in ten seconds the interior was a mass of flames. People who alighted from the Santa Fe train which passed through town at that moment heard three or four taps of the fire bell, and in an instant saw great clouds of black smoke rolling skyward from the fire. The ceasing of the fire alarm gave them the impression that, while the clouds of smoke looked ominous, perhaps the fire had already been gotten under control; but when great tongues of flame leaped high into the heavens, it developed that a bad fire was in prospect, threatening the destruction of one of the business portions of the town. From the depot it looked as if McCollum’s bicycle establishment was on fire. People ran down the street, while the fire apparatus was hastily gotten out of the fire house. The hose cart was run down to the fire, its bell clanging clamorous. The fire at that time threatened the destruction of a greater part of the town. The stable burned like a tinder box. The fire communicated with the corroborating evidence. To Coast Vote.

In Washington the was 39, based upon some knowledge of the soil and climate required by each species. All trees cannot be successfully grown in any soil or climate. For example the bald cypress of Southern swamps, or any other strictly southern tree, will not endure the cold of a Minnesota winter. There are, however, many valuable timber trees that grow naturally from Canada to the Gulf States; and several extend even from the Atlantic to the Pacific Coast. Among desirable trees, native in the Rocky Mountains, the yellow pine, red or Douglas fir, have already been successfully grown in the plains region far outside their natural range. Of Eastern trees, the white, red, and Jack pines, white spruce, red cedar, white birch, sycamore, black cherry and black walnut have been established in the same region. A few trees from this list taken with the available local trees, will give the prairie planter an assortment large enough for all practical purposes. The planter is recommended to confine his operations to a small number of useful kinds, and preferably those which grow naturally about his home. The time for collecting forest tree seed varies from April to November, according to the kind and the region in which they are grown; a few pines with cones which open tardily, such as the Jack pine, pitch pine, lodgepole pine, etc., may except for the cold to which the collector is subjected, be secured during the winter. It is possible also during the winter to collect the seeds of boxelder, black and honey loust, Kentuckey coffee tree, ashen, catalpas and others, since a large part of the crop may often cling to the trees for several months.

There are sounds of laughter and singing. And soothes that of worse pain. As the earth to its lategest swelling, But love is loud of the heart. And closely or fair the weather Some souls will be drifting together And souls be drifting apart. Dark evil may lurk in the byways, Soil blinking in wadh at the dawn, And the terror leap forth on the highways Or the sword from its scabhard will drawn, But closely or fair the weather Some souls will be drifting together And souls be drifting apart. Though unmoved by the poet's dreaming, Men tarry too long in the mast And grow cold in the pride of their scheming Yet love is loud of the heart, And closely or fair she weather Some souls will be drifting together And some be drifting apart. W. T. Talbot in Washington Star. Gazette. 1901. 121711 NUMBER 11 REATENS GREAT LOSS It Seemed the Greater Portion Town Would Go up in Smoke. Obsession of gasoline in Hahn's mole on Friday afternoon, Dec. 20'clock, resulted in the total loss of that building, together with oil was stored at Dickel's grocery, and the sheds adjoining.

Besides his oil house, barn and stock of oil, a large stock of crockery stored in one of the outer warehouses was destroyed. He was in Los Angeles at the time. He went up at noon the day before with his little son Arnold, who had been hit, while at play with some boys, in the eye with a B. B. shot fired from an air gun. It was at first feared the sight had been destroyed, but it is since learned the sight is not impaired. Mr. Dickel returned from Los Angeles on Saturday, naturally depressed at the combination of disaster, which had overtaken him. However he considers himself fortunate that the loss was not greater. A horse belonging to L. Schorn of Olive, which had been taken to the stable to be clipped, was burned to death. It had been turned into one of the rear sheds. When the fire broke out, enveloping the building in flames, it broke its halter, but could find no way out of the building. It was buried on Saturday where it fell. A dozen horses in the barn at the time of the fire were liberated. A half dozen buggies and a tally-ho were also run out. The stock of harness and five tons of hay were destroyed. The loss on the stable and sheds is probably $1500. Hahn was burned about the face and hands as a result of the explosion. He was operating the clipping machine when the gasoline exploded. For a time a report prevailed that the fire bell had fallen from the tower at the City Hall. That was why only three or four taps were sounded in the alarm, some said. An examination showed the bell to be all right, but one of the ropes attached to the alarm apparatus had been unfastened from its holding, and a further alarm was impossible. It was immediately repaired. The excitement decreased as the fire CITY TRUSTEES IN SESSION. Discuss the Matter of the Public Library but Make no Appropriation—The New Boiler. The City Trustees met in regular session at the City Hall on Wednesday evening, December 26th. Present, Helmsen, Schneider, Schwenckert and Weisel; also Attorney Chynoweth. Absent, Trustee Dickel. Trustee Schwenckert of the Finance Committee reported that the exhaust head and pipe covering which the engineers at the power house asked for have been ordered. The Ordinance Committee called up Ordinance No. 132 for consideration and passage. It was read for the second time and upon roll call passed. It will be found in another column. Engineer Lewis reported, in the matter of arc lamps for street lighting purposes, that of the different alternating enclosed arc lamps offered the city, he considered the Western Electric series quoted by the California Electrical Works, San Francisco, as those most suitable for our work here. On motion of Trustee Schwenckert, seconded by Truttee Schneider, the report was accepted. Action deferred. In the matter of advertising for bids for a new boiler, Attorney Chynoweth suggested that a note could be inserted at the bottom of the advertisement, requesting bidders to state in their bids the amount they would be willing to allow the city for the old boiler. In the matter of the application of Mr. Athearn of the high school, asking an appropriation of $10 per month for the maintenance of a public library, Attorney Chynoweth, to whom the matter was referred, reported that there were two provisions under which a city of this class may maintain a public library. First—under the charter of cities of the sixth class, which pro- Hahn was burned about the face and hands as a result of the explosion. He was operating the clipping machine when the gasoline exploded. For a time a report prevailed that the fire bell had fallen from the tower at the City Hall. That was why only three or four taps were sounded in the alarm, some said. An examination showed the bell to be all right, but one of the ropes attached to the alarm apparatus had been unfastened from its holding, and a further alarm was impossible. It was immediately repaired. The excitement decreased as the fire subsided. What at first threatened to be a most disastrous fire had been well confined by the herculean efforts of the fire department. Although the loss is a serious one, nevertheless far greater losses were at one time feared. Wind Storm. On Thursday and Friday a heavy windstorm prevailed at Riverside. It came down the Santa Ana canyon and sweeping over Orange and Santa Ana, enveloped the hills to the east in clouds of dust. No wind prevailed here on Thursday to any extent, although the day was raw and disagreeable. The coast breeze on Thursday afternoon held the east wind in check, but at nightfall, when the former subsided, the "Santa Ana" achieved great headway and blew boisterously throughout the night. Clarence Lincoln received the full benefit of the storm on his mail route embracing Valve, Yuba and the oil wells. Gravel stones as large as peas were blewn in his face. The weather was most disagreeable. He got out of the path of the wind at the oil well hills, but on his return trip had the wind at his back in the canyon. On Friday the wind blew in town, and continued until about two o'clock. Had the gale continued during the fire in Hahn's stable, great loss would have ensued. Providently, the wind subsided an hour before the fire, and a light coast breeze sprang up. At Riverside considerable damage was caused by the gale. Walnut Crop. The Fullerton Walnut Growers' Association has issued its annual report for the season just closed. The amount to be paid to members of the association for the season's output is $82,225.90. The net gain of the crop amounts to $3914.85. The expense of handling the crop was $39.36 per car, a saving over 1899, when the expense was $45.43. The prices fixed for walnuts belonging to or under control of the united associations were 10 cents a pound for No. 1 softshells; 94 cents per pound for No. 1 hardshells, and 2 cents less per pound for No. 2 of both grades. From these prices a discount of 6 per cent, was allowed the brokers. The other walnut growers' association of Fullerton shipped 589,499 pounds of walnuts, receiving for the output $56,205.88. The Fullerton walnut crop this year sold for more than $175,000. Prices were the highest in ten years. In matter of the application of Mr. Athearn of the high school, asking an appropriation of $10 per month for the maintenance of a public library, Attorney Chynoweth, to whom the matter was referred, reported that there were two provisions under which a city of this class may maintain a public library. First—under the charter of cities of the sixth class, which provides that cities may acquire and maintain public libraries. Under this provision cities may use such moneys as they may have in the general fund to maintain the same. Second—under the act approved April 26th, 1880. The municipal authorities of any incorporated city of this State are authorized to collect a tax not to exceed one mill on the dollar annually, to maintain a free public library, purchase real and personal property and improve the same: the funds to be designated as the "library fund," and kept separate from other funds. Five Trustees shall be elected at the same time as other city officials and hold office for the same length of time. The office of Trustee shall be honorary, without salary or other compensation, and they may elect, a librarian. On motion of Trustee Schneider, seconded by Trustee Schwenckert, the report was filed. No action was taken. Engineer Lewis reported that the specifications regarding a new boiler, received from J.B.Warner, Chief Inspector, should be corrected. In one place they specify a breeching front and in another place a boiler front full flush style. On motion of Trustee Schwenckert, seconded by Trustee Weisel, the Clerk was instructed to return the specifications and have them drawn up for a full flush front. A communication from 'Farmers' Club, asking that the electric lights be continued on the night of New Year's eve, December 31st, 1900, until 2 o'clock the morning of January 1, 1901, was read, and on motion of Trustee Schwenckert, seconded by Trustee Schneider, the communication was filed. The Marshal was instructed to make necessary arrangements regarding payment for the extra running time and expense. A communication from the Baker Continued on Fourth page.
