GRAZING UPON FOREST RESERVES DIFFICULT QUESTION AFFECTING CONTROL OF PUBLIC DOMAIN Effecting Vitally the Utility of the Forests in Helping to Reclaim the Arid West. WASHINGTON, Dec. 15, 1904.—The American Forest Congress at its meeting in January will devote one day's mission to a consideration of the relation of the public forest lands to grazing. Only those who thoroughly understand conditions in the West can appreciate how important is the question of grazing in connection with the welfare of the forests. Grazing is the principal industry of nearly half of the United States. The arid region of the country includes about two-fifths of its entire area, from about the middle of the continent westerly nearly to the Pacific Ocean, and the greater part of this region is natural grazing land, mainly open, but much of it, particularly in the more mountainous parts, rested or partly forested. The foragearies from the scanty vegetation of the deserts to the thick turf of the mountain parks and the varied growth herbage and young trees found in the interior of the forest. During the excessive heat of summer it is customary to drive the cattle and sheep up into the forests where the air is cooler and the pasture better. This means that the young growth is trampled and browsed and the spongy forest soil sucked or cut by hoofs, so that floods and serious soil erosion often follow. MISS BELL LYONS WINS THE PIANO Much Enthusiasm Manifested at the Final Count on Saturday Evening—Other Prizes Were Awarded Amid much excitement and enthusiasm the Gazette popular prize contest was drawn to a final close last Saturday evening at 10 o'clock. A large crowd of intensely interested spectators began congregating at the Gazette office at an early hour in the evening waiting for the appointed time when the votes would be counted. The hour having arrived and the committee commenced on the final count the large crowd gathered around the counting table anxiously waiting for the result. After it was announced the enthusiasm among the friends of the fortunate contestant reached a climax. Miss Belle Lyons was the successful contestant for the first prize, the beautiful Regent piano, offered by the Gazette to the young lady securing the most votes either through her personal efforts or the efforts of her friends. The last votes were received Saturday evening, Dec. 17th and the contest closed at 10 p.m. Miss Lyons secured the handsome total of 43,285 votes—all for bona fide subscribers and new business for the paper. The vote for Miss of Miss Zeus, N.F. Steadman, H. Starn F.H. Ahlborn, F.A. Yungbluth. The committee made a careful and accurate count, examining all papers pertaining to the contest. The committee reported the result of the count as follows: Miss Belle Lyons... 43285 Mrs. Chas. Bauer, Westminster... 39410 Miss Nona McWilliams... 15475 Miss Lulu Goble... 12565 Miss Pauline Nemetz... 11320 Entire satisfaction was expressed on all sides as to the result of the count made by the committee. The management of the contest desires to thank the committee for their services and the accurate manner in which the count was made. The prizes were awarded as follows: Miss Belle Lyons, first prize, the Regent piano. Mrs Chas. Bauer, secured the second prize, a Woodbury business college scholarship, and the third prize, a Brownsberger business college scholarship for the most new yearly subscribers. Miss Nona McWilliams was awarded the fifth prize, a trip to the Grand Canyon of the Colorado over the Santa Fe. Miss Lulu Goble secures a trip to Salt EDITOR GAZETTE:—I will be well to make a report trip to San Francisco as a member of the A.U. W.Co. annual convention of the Forestry association.

The forageeries from the scanty vegetation of the deserts to the thick turf of the mountain parks and the varied growth of herbage and young trees found in the interior of the forest. During the excessive heat of summer it is customary to drive the cattle and sheep up into the forests where the air is cooler and the pasture better. This means that the young growth is trampled and browsed and the spongy forest soilacked or cut by hoofs, so that floods and serious soil erosion often follow, while the prospects of forest reproduction are greatly endangered. Hence it is often necessary to exclude both sheep and cattle, though the regulations are generally more rigid against sheep, which do the worst damage. That the land best suited to grazing should be given over to it is self-evident. But neither the public domain nor the forests should be overgrazed. Forests are essential to irrigation plans for reclaiming arid lands. The fact that sheep successfully graze upon areas partly or wholly inaccessible to cattle has led sheep men into high mountains and about the headwaters of streams, where speedy and great damage can be done the protective influence of the forests. In addition, sheep are generally herded or concentrated on small areas; thus their grazing has an intensive character peculiarly destructive. For these reasons, and because of special local conditions, sheep are entirely excluded from some forest reserves, while in others their grazing is more stringently regulated than that of cattle. Hitherto there has been continual conflict between the sheep and cattle men for grazing locations, and the limitation of the claims of each in the reserves has been one of the most embarrassing and difficult questions of forest control. Happily, through a recent conference at Denver, there has been the fullest and most amicable interchange of views in the history of the business. It is expected there will be less friction between them in the future than in the past. That the Bureau of Forestry keenly appreciates the importance of the grazing question is shown by the instructions it gives its field force examining lands with a view to forming new reserves or revising the boundaries of existing reserves. Its agents must give definite and full reports on all the following queries: Demand upon the range; to what extent the prosperity of the local residents depends upon live stock; how many stock are now using the reserve and how distributed; where owned; whether stockmen own ranches or reside in the reserve; their home residence; to what extent, as a summer range, the proposed reserve limits outside range; whether it includes lambing grounds; conflicting interests, as between sheep and cattle, local and outside stock, etc.; merits of the controversy; description of the character of the grazing lands; the extent of open parks and pasture in timber; to what extent grazing has injured the range After it was announced that the friends of the fortunate contestant reached a climax. Miss Belle Lyons was the successful contestant for the first prize, the beautiful Regent piano, offered by the Gazette to the young lady securing the most votes either through her personal efforts or the efforts of her friends. The last votes were received Saturday evening, Dec. 17th and the contest closed at 10 p.m. Miss Lyons secured the handsome total of 43,285 votes—all for bona fide subscribers and new business for the paper. The vote for Miss Lyons placed her easily in first place, the next highest was Mrs. Chas. Bauer who had 39,410 to her credit. The young ladies are to be commended upon the zeal with which they entered the contest and the true womanly manner in which they conducted the canvass throughout. On behalf of the contestants we thank all those who assisted them in their efforts. The circulation of the Gazette has been greatly increased through the uniring efforts of the contestants who took an active part in the race and for this we wish to extend our sincere thanks especially to Mrs. Bauer as she has the honor of securing the most new yearly subscribers. The two last days of the contest were busy ones for the contestants. They had been rustling votes at a lively rate which indicated an exciting finish, and when Saturday afternoon came votes were piling up in large numbers, and when the closing hour was almost at hand and further votes were refused it was impossible to guess the winner. Ten o'clock having arrived the voting was immediately declared off and all the record sheets of the contest were turned over to a committee consisting Drying-house Burned Allan Knapp's drying-house was destroyed by fire on Saturday night at midnight, together with 200 strings of peppers, which were undergoing the drying process in the house. The loss is $250. The cause of the fire is probably spontaneous combustion. Knapp was awakened by the fire and arose hastily and rolled two drums of distillate away from the burning building. Had these ignited, a bad fire would have resulted. Fifteen hundred strings of peppers hanging near escaped injury. There was no wind and to this is attributable the fact that the loss was not more serious. The midwinter number of the Los Angeles Times will appear, as usual, on the first of the year. In regard to its contents, it is scarcely necessary to say more than that it will be fully up to the high standard of previous numbers, and perhaps, in some respects, better. It will consist—in addition to the ordinary paper—of three special magazine sections, aggregating from 88 to 100 pages of "meaty" matter, accurate manner in which the count was made. The prizes were awarded as follows: Miss Belle Lyons, first prize, the Regent piano. Mrs Chas. Bauer, secured the second prize, a Woodbury business college scholarship, and the third prize, a Brownsberger business college scholarship for the most new yearly subscribers. Miss Nona McWilliams was awarded the fifth prize, a trip to the Grand Canyon of Colorado over Santa Fe. Miss Lulu Goble secures a trip to Salt Lake City. Miss Pauline Nemetz, a trip to San Francisco. On Monday morning the bill of sale for the Regent, which has been on deposit at the First National Bank of Anaheim, was transferred to Miss Belle Lyons, giving her a clear title to the instrument. The Gazette extends to Miss Lyons its congratulations on her fortunate victory, and also other contestants on the noble fight they made. The management of the contest noted with delight the utmost good feeling and friendly rivalry prevailing throughout the contest among the contestants. The contestants lived up to all requirements exacted of them by the management in every respect. The contest was conducted on a fair and impartial basis in every respect, and there is no one but who believes that Miss Lyons earned the prize in good faith and well deserves what she has gained through her efforts and those of her friends who aided her in no small degree. The Gazette joins her many friends in wishing her much enjoyment from it.

It is only after exhaustive examination and full report that action is taken limiting grazing rights. The forest reserve policy of the national government involves many important questions which are yet to be settled. The approaching American Forest Congress, to be held in Washington, D.C., will give the best opportunity that has ever been offered for their broad discussion. This meeting has aroused wide interest among cattle and sheep men and their associations. A large representation from the grazing industry is expected at the congress, and far-reaching good is likely to result from its deliberations.

To accommodate those who are partial to the use of stomizers in applying liquids into the nasal passages for catarrhal troubles, the proprietors prepare Cream Balm in liquid form, which will be known as Ely's Liquid Cream Balm. Price including the spraying tube is 75 cents. Druggists or by mail. The liquid form embodies the medicinal properties of the solid preparation. Fruit Breeding Marvel. New York, Dec. 16.—The "fruit breeding" marvels revealed by Burbank, the California horticulturist, in convention last week, have aroused much interest in the East, and editorial comments have been quite frequent. Marvelous results in the new production are looked for in the near future, and these are expected to increase rapidly and become commercial in quantity, like Navels and other freak varieties. The general opinion, however, is that the new varieties will not threaten the old "stand-bys," with their appendicitis seeds, "and such like;" unless the new fruits inherit all the delicious flavor of original varieties. In short, the new fruit must surpass the old in all essentials. To take its place in popular esteem. EUCALYPTUS AND CYPRESS Trees, also orange and loquat seedlings, 2 years old, for sale by L. Z.

Oliver's letter of transmittal to Senator Procter, as follows: "I have the honor to inclose, for the consideration of your committee, a copy of the bill for the promotion of rifle practice prepared by the national board, of which I am the president. This bill proposes the appropriation of $1,000,000 annually for training in rifle practice such citizens belonging to rifle clubs as desire to become efficient marksmen; for the construction and equipment of proper shooting galleries; for the acquisition, construction and maintenance of suitable national target ranges, and for the issue of arms and ammunitions to schools and rifle clubs. Accompanying this measure will be found a memorandum giving somewhat at length the reasons which actuated the board in preparing and commending this measure to the favorable consideration of Congress.

For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly falling 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.

BRADFORD ON WATER SUPPLY BRIEF REPORT ON RECENT SAN FRANCISCO MEETING Matters of Great Interest to Irrigators Discussed, and Appropriate Legislation Recommended to the Legislature EDITOR GAZETTE:—I think it will be well to make a report of my recent trip to San Francisco as a representative of the A. U. W. Co. to attend the annual convention of the Water and Forestry association. This is of the greatest importance to every person in the state. Our water problem is of the gravest nature, and conserving the rain and snowfall by planting trees and shrubs, and covering our barren and fire-swept hills and mountains with new vegetation. The storm waters are thereby retained and allowed to soak down to our underground reservoirs and fill them up instead of the floods sweeping down to the ocean and lost. When one studies these problems and notes the swiftly lowering water flow in our pumping wells it is time that we are all active before it is too late. We are using the water very much faster than it is being stored and some radical measure must be taken by the state and government. It was thought that a bill like the Works bill on the same line might be introduced, but the matter being thoroughly discussed it was decided unwise to endorse any bill. A resolution was passed asking the state legislators to deed back to the government. Local Notes of Interest THE OLDEST PAPER Orange Post The Orange News, Vol. XVII No. 1, makes its annual claim to being the second paper in age in Orange county; but the last Anaheim Gazette is numbered Vol XXXV, No 8, the last Orange Post Vol. XX, No 37, and the last Santa Ana Evening Blade Vol. XVII, No. 154, which would make the News at least the fourth paper in age in Orange county. A New Fruit Another new fruit has been added to the already long California can boast of in her native garden spots. This time a most delicious fruit has been grown, which possesses the combined flavors of the strawberry and pineapple. W. Scott Way, the well-known horticulturist of Altadena, has succeeded, says the Pasadena Star, in growing a fruit on his place which is native of Uruguay and southern Brazil. It is called the Feljoa selowaiana. It belongs to the myrtle family of plants, and while it is found principally in the South American countries, it is also grown to a limited extent along the Mediterranean sea. It is sold in the fruit markets of Paris at very high prices. The Feijoa selowaiana resembles the guava in appearance and is about the size of a mandarin orange. Its striking peculiarity is its flavor of strawberry and pineapple combined. Mr. Way's tree was set out about two years ago, and it is one of a few imported by Dr. Franceschi of Santa Barbara. The fruit is as hardy as the orange, being able to stand considerable frost and drought, and it is believed that it would be valuable commercially in California if the stock could be procured. It is When one studies these problems and notes the swiftly lowering water flow in our pumping wells it is time that we are all active before it is too late. We are using the water very much faster than it is being stored and some radical measure must be taken by the state and government. It was thought that a bill like the Works bill on the same line might be introduced, but the matter being thoroughly discussed it was decided unwisely to endorse any bill. A resolution was passed asking the state legislators to deed back to the government the Yosemite Valley as the government has taken timber reserves all around the valley, making it a reservation within a reservation and to let the government take care of it as it does the Yellowstone National Park. This would relieve the state of the expense of caring for it, and the money now appropriated for this purpose could be used to great advantage in furthering the forestry interests. The amount now appropriated is already too small and is very inadequate to perform the giant task undertaken. The state school at Berkeley will ask the state for money for the purpose of educating young men on the forestry lines to take up this work. This should be supported by every representative and senator, and they should further the interests of the Water and Forestry association in every way possible. A bill was indorsed called the Forestry bill, which is needed very much or something of the kind, as our laws are not strong enough and the foresters have to cover many miles of forest and it is impossible to do this work in a satisfactory manner — there should be double the number of the men employed. But a system of rules, regulations and penalties more severe will have to be put in force before the stock and lumbermen can be compelled to observe them. I have not done this subject full justice for lack of time. A. S. BRADFORD County Tax Rates. A statement recently issued by State Controller Colgan shows that 24 out of 57 counties in the State have a tax rate of $2 or more. They are as follows: Yuba.....$2.95 Sierra.....2.75 Trinity.....2.60 Mariposa.....2.50 San Bernardino.....2.40 Nevada.....2.40 Merced.....2.35 Mono.....2.35 Santa Cruz.....2.35 Del Norte.....2.30 Lake.....2.30 San Diego.....2.25 Inyo.....2.25 Riverside.....2.20 Eldorado.....2.20 Ventura.....2.20 Shasta.....2.10 Madera.....2.10 Calaveras.....2.00 Glen.....2.00 Mendocino.....2.00 Plumas.....2.00 Sacramento.....2.00 Tuolumne.....2.00 The lowest tax rate is for the three counties of Yolo, Stanislawa and Hum along the Mediterranean sea. It is sold in the fruit markets of Paris at very high prices. The Feijoa selowaliana resembles the guava in appearance and is about the size of a mandarin orange. Its striking peculiarity is its flavor of strawberry and pineapple combined, Mr. Way's tree was set out about two years ago, and it is one of a few imported by Dr. Franceschi of Santa Barbara. The fruit is as hardy as the orange, being able to stand considerable frost and drought, and it is believed that it would be valuable commercially in California if the stock could be procured. It is exceedingly difficult to propagate and thus far only about a dozen plants have been imported. Files Suit for Damages Henry Gibbs of Santa Ana, who was found guilty on two separate counts of selling liquor in that town illegally, filed suit for damages against Marshal Maxwell and Officer Murray, the officers who raided his "blind pig." Complaint recites that on June 27th the two officers entered his establishment by force and violence and took therefrom four sacks of bottled beer, two sacks of empty beer bottles and one denmljohn of rye whisky, all of which he had there "for his own private use," and which were valued at $40. Later he made several unsuccessful attempts to recover the goods, which are still in possession of the officers. Gibbs asks for total damages of $3340, as follows: Forty dollars for the actual property loss of beer, whisky and bottles; $300 to reimburse him for the time he has spent in trying to recover the property; $1000 for the injury done him by keeping him out of possession of his rightful belongings; $1000 for the injury done his business by the violence and force displayed by the officers, who are alleged to have frightened patrons away by reason of their acts; $1000 additional damages by way of punishing the officers for their wantonness, oppression and malice in entering private premises and taking out personal belongings. Plaintiff also wants any further damages that the court may see fit to award. FOR SALE 200 tons of hay for sale at the Anaheim Evergreen Nursery.
