The President of the board, Gen. N. P. Chipman, a resident of one of the upper tier of counties of the decaying north, wields a trenchint club in his futile efforts to belabor the counties of the south, whose only offense is that they have, during the last decade, outstripped the north in all that goes to material advancement. As showing the character at the outset of this senile old man's efforts to distort the truth and juggle with the figures of statistics, a few random quotations will suffice: "The fruit crop of Southern California is almost exclusively citrus." "The county of Orange is said to ship nearly 1000 carloads of celery." "Recent discoveries also have locat-ed the most remarkable petroleum measures in the north—Kern county." The italics are ours. Turning to the table giving the exports of vegetables from Southern California we find the total shipments placed at 2798 carloads. There is nothing to show from which counties these shipments are forwarded, how many counties are included in the designation of "Southern California," nor of what these "vegetables" consist. Quite probably the celery shipments from this county are not included, for the report seems to be somewhat in the dark concerning this promising young industry. As a matter of fact, it would not take a very rash man to say that the shipment of this simple article alone almost dred organizations in the northern part of the State, there is still much ignorance of the wonderful natural resources of this portion of California. The persistent and commendable energy and local pride and loyalty to their own region of the people of the south have created the impression abroad that the California of poetry and romance; the California of sunshine and fruits and flowers; the California of sunshine and fruits and flowers; the California of sunshine and fruits and flowers; the California of sunshine and fruits and flowers; the California of sunshine and fruits and flowers; the California of sunshine and fruits and flowers; the California of sunshine and fruits and flowers; the California of sunshine and fruits and flowers; the California of sunshine and fruits and flowers; the California of sunshine and fruits and flowers; the California of sunshine and fruits and flowers; the California of sunshine and fruits and flowers; the California of sunshine and fruits and flowers; the California of sunshine and fruits and flowers; the California of sunshine and fruits and flowers; the California of sunshine and fruits and flowers; the California of sunshine and fruits and flowers; the California of sunshine and fruits and flowers; the California of sunshine and fruits and flowers; the California of sunshine and fruits and flowers; the California of sunshine and fruits and flowers; the California of sunshine and fruits and flowers; the California of sunshine and fruits and flowers; the California of sunshine and fruits and flowers; the California of sunshine and fruits and flowers; the California of sunshine and fruits and flowers; the California of sunshine and fruits and flowers; the California of sunshine and fruits and flowers; the California of sunshine and fruits and flowers; the California of sunshine and fruits and flowers; the California of sunshine and fruits and flowers; the California of sunshine and fruits and flowers; the California of sunshine and fruits and flowers; the California of sunshine and fruits and flowers; the California of sunshine and fruits and flowers; the California of sunshine and fruitsand flowers; the California of sunshine and flowers; the California of sunshine and flowers; the California of sunshine和花卉；the California of sunshine和花卉；the California of sunshine和花卉；the California of sunshine和花卉；the California of sunshine和花卉；the California of sunshine和花卉；the California of sunshine和花卉；the California of sunshine和花卉；the California of sunshine和花卉；the California of sunshine和花卉；the California of sunshine和花卉；the California of sunshine和花卉；the California of sunshine和花卉；the Californiaof sunlightandflowers; SOURCES OF FUEL SUPPLY IN ALASKA No Definite Knowledge of the Existence of Petroleum—Fires in Treeless Region. [CONTRIBUTED TO THE GAZETTE.] In closing his discussion of the resources of Alaska, in Part III of twenty-second annual report of United States Geological Survey, he in press, Alfred H. Brooks adds brief comments on other sources fuel. In addition to coal, he says, there are three possible sources of fuel supply in Alaska, namely, timber, petroland peat; and of these, timber has been utilized. Southeastern Alaska is heavily forested and affords an wood for fuel. Certain species of tree are found as far west as Kadiak Islah Beyond Kadiak, to the west and no coast region of Alaska is practically treeless. Some willows, occasionally spruce, are found in sheltered regions; but for the most part, coastal belt is covered mostly moss, grass and low shrubs. This vegetation extends northward. The moss and grass-covered plains tundras, and are found on the north continental margins encircling globe. The interior of Alaska has usually sufficient supply of wood for order purposes of building and mining for fuel. The larger river valleys often heavily forested with spruce other trees. On the Yukon, near international boundary, the line is at about 3000 feet; northwest decreases in elevation, and on Koyukuk it is about 2500 feet. Further to the north and west it decreases in altitude, and on the U.Kobuk the timber is said to be liable to the floor of the largest river valley. In the northern Arctic drainage reg The interior of Alaska has usually sufficient supply of wood for ornamental purposes of building and mining for fuel. The larger river valley often heavily forested with spruce other trees. On the Yukon, near international boundary, the line is at about 3000 feet; northward decreases in elevation, and on the Koyukuk it is about 2500 feet further to the north and west it decreases in altitude, and on the U.Kobuk the timber is said to be limited to the floor of the largest river valley. In the northern Arctic drainage region that there is no timber except willows, which, however, grow faster in the northern and now parts of the territory, from New Bay around to the mouth of the Kenzie, the shore was once abundantly supplied with driftwood. The East who have been using this wood for erations, are very economically important of fuel, and, until the white man, the probability that the driftwood was accumulated faster than it was used. This wood is brought down from the sea by larger rivers whose banks wooden. The cutting of the along the banks of the Yukon already decreased the annual tribution of driftwood to no Behring Sea. This, together with rapid exhaustion by the white man, the probability that the driftwood was accumulated faster than it was used. This wood is brought down from the sea by larger rivers whose banks wooden. The cutting of the along the banks of the Yukon already decreased the annual tribution of driftwood to no Behring Sea.

It is to have been found in southern Alaska, between Yakutat troeller bays, south of Mount and also on the east side of Canada near Kachemak Bay. State Convention Come South Before the end of May the tral committees of the two political parties will be called. The returns of the beet-sugar factories are complete, except the factory at Crockett. We have the figures from the Spreckels, Alvarado, Union (Crockett estimated the same as 1900) in Northern California, 30,688 short tons, and Chino, Oxnard and Alamitos in Southern California, 29,343 short tons. The hop industry, as reported, is confined to Northern California, and so also is largely the dairy industry. The shipments or clearances of wheat, flour, oats, barley, corn and rye are all from San Francisco. Land is devoted to higher uses in Southern California, although considerable grain is produced there. About 600,000,000 feet of lumber are produced in Northern California; there are no lumber industries south of the Tehachapi mountains. The growing of vegetables in Southern California, as well as in the north, is an industry of much local importance. In the single article alone of celery the county of Orange is said to ship to the east nearly one thousand carloads annually. Through the asparagus industry along the Sacramento river in Northern California our State is receiving widespread notice. The distribution of mineral wealth is shown by counties. Omitting petroleum, the great mineral deposits of the State are in the Sierra and Coast Range of Northern California. Some gold and silver and other of the precious metals are found in the south, but in no great quantity. Recent discoveries also have located the most remarkable petroleum measures in the north—notably Kern county. The total mineral output of the State for 1900 was $32,612,942, an increase of nearly two million dollars over 1889. The returns for 1901 are not yet available, except approximately, and I do not give them. They will show a large increase, especially in copper and petroleum. The above comparisons are given in no invidious spirit, but with a view of bringing out the exact truth for the benefit of home-seekers. The entire people of this State are proud of the wonderful development and consequent prosperity of Southern California. The county of Los Angeles has loyally retained its membership with this board ever since its organization. But no one who loves the State and desires that it shall prosper throughout its entire borders can find fault with such an organization as this one is, if it should make all legitimate use of the facts to correct false impressions which tend to retard and belittle one part of the State and exalt another part of it. It is beyond dispute that, despite all previous efforts of this board and of kin- State Convention Come South Before the end of May the central committees of the two political parties will be called in San Francisco for the party fixing a time and place for two State conventions. If it loses Angeles desires to obey or both of these gatherings for accomplishing this result planned without further loss. Los Angeles has not enforced a convention in more than six months and both gatherings may be right direction. A committee named several months ago subject in hand, but beyond single meeting nothing has accomplished. In this case represented every prominent city. It is admitted the convention to gather severalitors. The sessions will extend a period of nearly a week, the circulating of nearly $1 million. Los Angeles will present for Governor in the Republic as the Democratic State candidate that it is considered eminent for both gatherings to be Sacramento and San Jose conventions. They were Los Angeles two years ago. Sciatic Rheumatism Cured After Failure. "I have been afflicted rheumatism for fourteen years. I was able to be around but suffered.

Closing his discussion of the coal forces of Alaska, in Part III of the second annual report of the States Geological Survey, now, Alfred H. Brooks adds some comments on the other sources of In addition to coal, he says, there are possible sources of fuel supply Alaska, namely, timber, petroleum oil; and of these, timber alone can be utilized. Southeastern Alaska will forested and affords ample for fuel. Certain species of trees found as far west as Kadiak Island and Kadiak, to the west and north, east region of Alaska is practicetreeless. Some willows, and commonly spruce, are found in the red regions; but for the most part coastal belt is covered mostly with grass and low shrubs. This type vegetation extends northward to Barrow and thence eastward. Moss and grass-covered plains are also, and are found on the northern mental margins encircling the interior of Alaska has usually a constant supply of wood for ordinary uses of building and mining and fuel. The larger river valleys are heavily forested with spruce and trees. On the Yukon, near the national boundary, the timber lies at about 3000 feet; northward it peaks in elevation, and on the tukuk it is about 2500 feet. Still further to the north and west it further peaks in altitude, and on the Upper tukuk the timber is said to be limited to the floor of the largest river valleys. The northern Arctic drainage reports DREADFUL GUN ACCIDENT AT OLIVE John Kirby of El Modena Suffers Permanent Injury in Accidental Discharge of Gun. A shotgun accident, which will permanently deprive John Kirby of El Modena of the use of his left arm, happened near Olive on Thursday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock. Kirby with a companion, George Bartley, also of El Modena, was out hunting in the river bed near Olive, driving about in a cart. The accident happened about one-half mile west of Olive. Kirby had a double-barrelled shotgun, loaded in both barrels. The stock rested upon the bottom of the cart with the barrels leaning against his shoulder. A jolt caused the gun to drop through the slats in the bottom of the cart. Both triggers were struck and a double charge of shot was sent into his side and shoulder. The barrels were under Kirby's arm pit, and the whole force of the double discharge torre through his shoulder, making a hole in the flesh large enough for the doctor to insert his hand, and breaking away the tip of the shoulder blade. The flesh was entirely torn away from the ribs, laying them bare, and a little of the fleshy part of the arm was torn. The wounded man was taken to Olive and Dr. W. B. Wood of Orange summoned by telephone. The wounds were dressed and Kirby removed to his home in El Modena. Dr. Wood is hopeful that the accident will not result fatally. No bones, with the exception of the left shoulder blade, were injured, and the shot reached none of the vital organs, so that unless blood poisoning sets in the patient should progress favorably. Even under the most favorable circumstances it is thought that the accident will cripple Kirby for life and practically deprive him of the use of his left arm, as the supporting muscles LOCAL JOTTINGS OF INTEREST Oregon Short Line. As a result of E. H. Harriman's visit to California and his inquiry into the cause of delay in work on the Oregon Short Line's extension to Los Angeles, it is given out from a reliable source that all obstacles to construction have been removed, and the new railroad between that city and Salt Lake will be completed and in operation before the end of the present year. Orders have come from New York and the engineering department of the railroad to rush the work of surveys; materials are ordered and are already arriving, and workmen are being employed wherever they can be found, and are sent to the several camps on the line of the road. There remains less than 300 miles of new road to build to complete the line. About the same mileage of old tracks will be relied with heavy steel rails, and 110 miles of road southwest from Salt Lake, forming the Leamington cut-off through Garfield Beach and into the Tintic mining district will be constructed, to shorten the distance covered by the present line. The order contemplates a complete rebuilding of the railroad from Salt Lake and Callentes, the present southwestern terminus of the Oregon Short Line. The new line is surveyed from Callentes to Ludlow on Santa Fe, and it is semi-officially announced that a joint traffic agreement with the Santa Fe has been made whereby the Short Line will use the Santa Fe tracks from Ludlow to Los Angeles. Photographs Ye reporter strolled into the photo studio on Los Angeles street and was greeted with a pleasant good morning and hearty hand shake by the genial proprietor, Mr. Howard. He found the walls of the reception-room adorned with samples of Mr. Howard's work, both portraits and views, which are certainly excellent and fully up to the Interior of Alaska has usually a constant supply of wood for ordinary houses of building and mining and rail. The larger river valleys are heavily forested with spruce and pine trees. On the Yukon, near the international boundary, the timber is at about 3000 feet; northward it peaks in elevation, and on the Kuskuk it is about 2500 feet. Still lower to the north and west it further decreases in altitude, and on the Upper Kuskuk the timber is said to be limited to the floor of the largest river valleys. The northern Arctic drainage reports that there is no timber except the lows, which, however, grow to considerable size. The Kuskokwin, Susitna and Copper rivers all have timber basins. During the great influx population during the last three years, much timber has been destroyed in the northwestern and northern areas of the territory, from Norton to around to the mouth of the McMizzie, the shore was once abundantly applied with driftwood. The Eskimos, who have been using this wood for generations, are very economical in the water of fuel, and until the coming of white man, the probabilities are that the driftwood was accumulated rather than it was used. This driftwood is brought down from the interior where larger rivers, whose banks are lodged. The cutting of the wood being the banks of the Yukon has already decreased the annual conduction of driftwood to northern Bering Sea. This, together with the cold exhaustion by the white man of the supply which had accumulated in past, will soon cause the Eskimo well as the white man to be dependent on other sources for fuel. The North Arctic coast eastward from Point Marrow, which is but thinly populated natives and seldom visited by whites, is some driftwood. The possibilities of using for fuel the thick growth of vegetable matter which covers most of the treeless regions of Alaska, have been suggested, but have never been put to practical use. During the months of June and July, 1900, extensive fires swept over much of the treeless region of Nome and other portions of the Seward Peninsula. The moss and grass, when dry, were found to burn rapidly and with considerable flame, and fires ran ever nearly the entire region visited by prospectors during the dry months. This fact makes it evident that the surface growth of the tundra could be used for fuel, provided it were properly dried. This material has in many cases been accumulated to considerable thickness in peat bogs. With regard to the third source of fuel supply, petroleum, we have no definite knowledge of its existence in commercial quantities. It is reported to have been found in southeastern Alaska, between Yakutat and Controller bays, south of Mount St. Elias, and also on the east side of Cook Inlet near Kachemak Bay.

It is realized that Los Angeles desires to obtain either or both of these gatherings, the way for accomplishing this result must be planned without further loss of time. Los Angeles has not entertained a Republican or Democratic State convention in more than sixteen years, and both gatherings may be obtained if proper pressure is exerted in the right direction. A committee was named several months ago to take the subject in hand, but beyond holding a single meeting nothing further was accomplished. In this committee is represented every prominent hotel in the city. It is admitted the conventions are certain to gather several thousand visitors. The sessions will extend through a period of nearly a week, resulting in the circulating of nearly $100,000.

Sacramento and San Jose desire both conventions. They were promised to Los Angeles two years ago. Sciatic Rheumatism Cured After Fourteen Years of Suffering.

Scott's Emulsion can make him use it. How? By making him hungry, of course. Scott's Emulsion makes a thin body hungry all over. Thought a thin body was naturally hungry didn't you? Well it isn't.
