Such has been the effect of a law passed a few years ago creating what is known as Forest Reserve Land Scrip. Few people throughout the country, especially the east, know anything of this law, yet workings have been perhaps the most iniquitous of any land law ever administered by any government in any age. It has resulted in millions and tens of millions of dollars worth of the magnificent merchantable timber lands in the world passing from the government into the hands of lumber syndicates and speculators, for which little and in some cases absolutely value has been received by the government, On its face the forest lieu land land was a beneficent measure, and so the majority of Congressmen thought they enacted it. It provided that when the government created a forest reserve and settlers already had their homes that reserve, they could exchange the Agent for Luzon Water Proof and Orchard Chief Shoes New Crop of Rubber Boots Just Arrived Cheap for Cash at DAVIS THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF ANAHEIM OFFICERS: W.

It has resulted in millions and tens of millions of dollars worth of the magnificent merchantable timber lands in the world passing from the government into the hands of lumber syndicates and speculators, for which little and in some cases absolutely no value has been received by the government. On its face the forest lieu land was a beneficent measure, and so the majority of Congressmen thought they enacted it. It provided that when the government created a forest reserve and settlers already had their homes that reserve, they could exchange the lands for any other public lands while they might select, the idea being that the forest reservation, by atopping for their settlement, would condemn them to isolation. Then the law was made to apply broadly to all people or corporations who might hold or have filled on any land in forest reserves create or to be created. The land-grant roads in some instances and large land dealers and speculators held enormous tracts of land, good and bad, in the forest reserves. Where poor it was immediately changed for good timber lands; where good the owners, or the companies whom they sold it proceeded to divide it of every foot of timber, and then turned it in to the government and cated in lieu of it, acre for acre, traced in the pathless forests of Washington Oregon, Northern California and Idaho, forests mentioned by the Secretary of the Interior as worth $50 and even $100 an acre. The people of the west—those we are not interested in timber steals or various sorts—are outraged at the magnitude of the timbermen's operation not at the great legitimate lumber industry of the west but at the evasion of the timber laws, the absolute downright fraud, stealing and perjury which is occurring in every timbered section and most of all at the reckless method of lumbering by which entire water sheds are denuded and destroyed, the drying up the water resources for irrigation upon which the fertile western valleys depend for their very life. The difficulty which the irrigator at the forest preserver will meet is the Neither are organized. The great men of people would favor the abrogation this abominable law, and the record National Irrigation Congress at El Paso so passed a strong resolution to that feet; nevertheless what is everybody business is nobody's in particular, as the forest lieu land scrip is likely to continue on the statute books unless overwhelming public sentiment sweeps it away. And indeed so well are the timbermen organized that any effort legislation will immediately arouse great western outroar. It will be led the protest of men who are making enormous fortunes through the squaring of the nation's greatest source. An instance of this is seen in the following imitation typewritten letter which is being sent broadcast among all timber land dealers.

END OF CONTEST SATURDAY, DEC. 17TH Much Rustling and Canvassing Among Contestants and Friends Conditions of Prize Contest Every new subscription to the Gazette for one year at $1.50 entitles the contestant to 200 votes; on old subscriptions or those in arrears, a vote for every cent turned in will be allowed. Votes will also be counted on new advertising not under contract at present at the rate of a cent a vote. Job printing will likewise be included on the same basis as advertising. The prizes will be classed and awarded as follows: 1. To the contestant receiving the greatest number of votes during the term of the contest will be awarded the elegant $500 Regent piano, an instrument which no one should hesitate to strive for. 2. It has been decided by the management of the contest to change the Salt Lake City trip from the most popular young lady employe to the contestant receiving the second greatest number of votes during the contest, or giving the contestant the privilege of choosing between this trip and the Woodbury business college scholarship. This change is made in order to avoid confusion among the contestants. 3. A scholarship of the Brownsberger Business College of Los Angeles, will be presented to the contestant bringing in the most new yearly subscriptions to the Gazette. 4. The contestant receiving the second greatest number of all votes cast during the term of the contest will be given their choice between a Woodbury business college scholarship and a trip to Salt Lake City and return. 5. A trip to the Grand Canyon of the Colorado over the Santa Fe route, will be awarded to the contestant having the third greatest number of votes. 6. The trip to San Francisco and return via the Southern Pacific will go to the one receiving the fourth greatest number of Only a few days more remain for the contestants to get in their finishing work for the beautiful Regent piano and the other valuable prizes. The result of the efforts of the contestants put forward this week will determine the awarding of the prizes. Saturday evening at 10 o'clock, after business hours, has been set as the hour for closing the contest when the last ballots will be cast and the official count will begin. No votes will be received after that hour. All money for subscriptions, job printing and advertising contracts that is to count must be turned in by that time. The count will be made by a committee of disinterested business men. The contestants and their numerous friends will doubtless be very active during the remaining few days of the contest. A large vote will very likely be cast for several of the contestants on the last day. The result will continue to be looked forward to with much interest. The vote remains close between the three leading contestants, and it will be, apparently, about an even break between them. The last hours of the contest are drawing near and now is the time for the contestants and their friends to make the best of them. It isn't too late to accomplish something in the way of securing many votes. The opportunity is still before you if you will only take advantage of it by getting to work now. An opportunity of securing a high grade piano like this $500 Regent absolutely free, does not come often. No young lady should hesitate a moment to put her best efforts toward securing this prize. Remember that Saturday is the last day of this grand offer. At the conclusion of the contest on Saturday evening there will doubtless be many surprises among the contestants and their friends by the casting of big votes which it is believed that several of the contestants have "up their sleeve" reserving them for the last day. The indications are at present that the end will be a close and exciting finish. The vote up-to-date by the leaders is separated by only a comparatively small difference. Only a small vote has been cast so far this week. Mrs. Chas. Bauer, Westminster... 18790 Miss Nona McWilliams... 15475 Miss Belle Lyons... 15200 Miss Pauline Nemetz... 10205 Miss Lulu Goble... 6525 Miss Amelia Backs... 1450 CUT OUT COUPON And bring it in with a New Subscription and it entitles you to IOO VOTES In addition to the amount of the subscription.

Mr. Burbank creation, the Burbank potato, he estimated by one authority, adds less than twenty million dollars worth of the United States. event, it is recognized that Mr. Bank's energies have not been alone on that which is beautiful ward that which is useful as well. Mr. Burbank said that he with the statement of the United Department of Agriculture that was the best all around for "I think," said Mr. Burbank, "falla is probably the most important plant ever raised in the west." He called attention to the varieties of alfalfa which are being produced. Some of the best crops came from Southern Europe. Other which may become of great importance in this State is the Ugandan from Africa. Another forage extremely valuable is Australian grass. This grass is unusually tall and most all seedmen sell rinnial rye grass will grow even hens tread it down, and there are localities to which it is essential. He said that in the hot district this state he favored the introduced Bulgarian, Bohemian and Central European farmed cattle. Newport Beach Townsite Sold Practically the whole townsite of Newport Beach was sold to a syndicate headed by H. C. Sigler of Los Angeles and S. Townsend of the Townsend & Robinson Investment Company of Long Beach, for $80,000. The territory sold includes in the neighborhood of 1500 of the choicest lots of Newport, with a frontage facing the ocean of approximately one and one-half miles, and directly west of the Southern Pacific Company's wharf. The deal was made through the agency of W. S. Collins of the Newport Land Company, who owned three-fourths of the property sold, George E. Hart owning the other fourth. Most of the lots are unimproved except the business portion, which includes the Hotel Newport, the bank, water works and smaller buildings occupied by merchants. Some time ago the eastern portion of the beach was sold to H.E. Huntington. The syndicate contemplates making extensive improvements at once. Local real estate dealers consider the sale one of the most important in Southern California. "Is Miss Richly an athletic girl?" "I should say so. She threw over one of the heavyweights of the football team." Mr. Dobblins says he is wedded to his art. "Yes," said Miss Cayenne, "wedded but with simple ground for divorce." There is more catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and therefore requiring constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F.J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circulators and testimonials. Address: F.J.

Huntington requested of the Whittier Board of Trade a free right-of-way from the present Greenleaf avenue terminus through Whittier and East Whittier. In exchange Huntington offered to run his line through the city and bring the Riverside traffic direct to Whittier. A part of the right of way strip has been donated. Huntington said in Los Angeles one day this week: "It is up to the people of East Whittier. In connection with our design to have the finest electric railway system in the world we had intended to continue the Whittier line until Riverside should be the terminus. We have two surveys at present, one passing through East Whittier, the other branching off at Los Nietos, practically leaving Whittier on a horn. "It would be to our interests to escape the grade into Whittier and take the latter survey, but we are willing to give Whittier a show. We are planning to push the work along in the near future, but whether the line shall pass through Whittier lies entirely in our treatment by your citizens." The $1200 subscribed by the Whittier people to the Pacific Electric Company to encourage its construction to that place has not yet been paid over to the company.

PROPER PACKING OF FRUIT TRACTIVELY PACKED GOODS WILL DO MUCH TO HELP MARKET IN EAST Other Burbank Offers Vauable Suggestions Concerning Plants That Can be Grown in California The California Promotion Committeeinding a general letter throughout the State of special interest to packers all those who believe that the mar- for our California products should interested as much as possible. The order is as follows: This committee especially urges attention of the people of California, producers of California and espe- by the packers of California fruit of great necessity of having our prod- done up in small and convenient mels which would appeal to the peo- at large. The committee urges all those who have not adopted the putting the fruit in attractive cartoons to use up this method as far as possible. It has been called to the attention of the committee that in many of the cities of the east it is impossible the house-wife to go to her grocery store and buy—say an attractive look- pound package of California prunes. The reason is that the prunes are sold bulk and the house-wife is not as attracted by seeing her goods. Local Notes of Interest Asks For Divorce Mrs. Ida C. Shelton of Santa Ana has filed suit for divorce from James T. Shelton because of alleged unfaithfulness of defendant. In June of the present year Shelton was arrested at the instance of William Block who charged him with paying undue attentions to his daughter. Before the case came to trial Block compromised upon Shelton's paying $100. A few days later the Block girl and Shelton disappeared and were later seen together in Los Angeles and San Francisco. Mrs. Shelton's complaint charges them with living together as man and wife. Before his departure Shelton disposed of much of his personal property and deeded the home place to his wife. The first seen of him after his hasty leave-taking was about a week ago, when he returned and took up his abode with his wife. His coming back is said to have been for the purpose of inducing her to deed back to him the property. He even went to such an extreme as to fake suicide to frighten her. Next day he went away again and is expected to return tomorrow to take some action with reference to the divorce proceedings. PERILS OF LAND AND SEA Captain Willneff’s Remarkable Escape Shows What to do in Time of Trouble For many years Captain Willneff, says the Times of Gloucester, Mass., was one of the best known seamen in the Gloucester fleet.

The reason is that the prunes are sold bulk and the house-wife is not as attracted by seeing her goods added out of a box with a great many users as she would be by buying them can especially make attractive caroids, and the desirability of selling prunes in small packages has been found. create a demand for those goods that ance the price and bring them in to higher regard in public favor. when people see goods sold in bulk they are not so apt to get the idea that use goods are a luxury, as when they them sold in small packages. There do doubt but that prunes and raisins up in attractive cartons weighing one to five pounds would greatly up the market for these articles. high grade fruits should be used, every firm should so far as possible apt a trade mark so that their goods may be known throughout the whole world. California can market a billion pounds of prunes a year when the old is educated and the same is true most of her fruit products." representative of the California promotion Committee recently interviewed Luther Burbank of Santa Rosa. Burbank is the most successful nut breeder of all time. He has origined some two thousand species or varieties of plants (vegetables, flowers, fruits and grasses.) many of these possess a great commercial value. Mr. Burbank's first station, the Burbank potato, has, it is imated by one authority, added no less than twenty million dollars to the health of the United States. At any point, it is recognized that Mr. Burk's energies have not been spent on that which is beautiful but toodard that which is useful as well. Mr. Burbank said that he agreed with the statement of the United States department of Agriculture that alfalfa is the best all around forage plant. think," said Mr. Burbank, "that alfalfa is probably the most important plant ever raised in the west." He called attention to the improved varieties of alfalfa which are being introduced. Some of the best of these are from Southern Europe. One clov-which may become of great import-ence in this State is the Ulganda clover from Africa. Another forage that is extremely valuable is Australian rye grass. This grass is unusually nutritious and most all seedsmen sell it. Penial rye grass will grow even when it tread it down, and there are many qualities to which it is especially used. He said that in the hot districts of state he favored the introduction of garlician, Bohemian and Central Eusuicide to frighten her. Next day he went away again and is expected to return tomorrow to take some action with reference to the divorce proceedings. PERILS OF LAND AND SEA Captain Willneff's Remarkable Escape Shows What to do in Time of Trouble For many years Captain Willneff, says the Times of Gloucester, Mass., was one of the best known seamen in the Gloucester fleet. The sea and its dangers had no terror for him, but the catarrhal troubles with which he suffered for fifteen years made him dread the nights at sea, for he had to walk the cabin floor, being unable to lie down and sleep on account of the constant catarrhal dropping. Captain Willneff went to two different hospitals for treatment, but could get no lasting benefit. He constantly raised yellow and green phlegm and his trouble became so unbearable and nauseating that he was ashamed to go out in company. When despairing of ever getting relief his wife purchased a Hymei outfit for him, and trying it before going to bed he enjoyed the first whole night's sleep for ten years. Captain Willneff says: "I have used less than two bottles of Hymei and have cured by the remedy. My friends ask me what is responsible for my improvement, and I tell them Hymei, which has given me full and complete recovery." Captain Willneff's experience shows our readers what to do in time of catarrhal trouble—use Hymei. This remarkable treatment kills the germs of catarrh and makes lasting and permanent cures. W.B.Hutchinson sells Hymei under his personal guarantee to refund the money if it does not give quick relief. "Wealth has its penalties," said the philosopher. "Yes," answered Mr. Cumrox. "It's pretty hard for a man to have to go guessing through a French menu when he would rather have pork and beans." Stockholders of the New State Bank at Fullerton have elected as directors: E.W.Ryan, J.C.Braly, G.A.Percival, P.Nicolas, Samuel Kraemer, W.McEndree, D.J.Bastanchury.
