The trustees of the Anaheim school district have called an election for August 14th, for the purpose of voting a special tax in the amount of $2000 for improvement and repairs of school buildings in the district. The money will be used for painting the school houses, for repairs to roofs, and for the construction of fire escapes at the central school building. This latter addition to the school building has been recommended by the grand jury and should be immediately constructed in order to afford safety in case of fire to the hundreds of school children therein. The tax should be supported by the progressive citizens of the community, and we have no doubt the request of the school trustees will be approved without a dissenting vote. The United States ambassador to Japan has forwarded to the state department details of the co-operative agreement between the Japanese and Korean governments, outlining a plan for the use of the tion, forestry in its various government control of drainage of swamp areas, and questions of fundamentalance. Special excursions would delegates to see California mines and forests, including giant redwoods, the Yuma p and Imperial valley, where irrigation is transforming the desert into a garden, and great Truckee-Carson irrigation project in Nevada. Special way rates have been made to the congress and will vail over all trans-continental lines. Delegates may go via Angeles and return via Portland or vice versa. The rapidity with which American forests are being is almost incredible. A few ago the New England and Lake states furnished most lumber. They reached their imum and have been falling. Then the Southern states came and the forests have disappeared if by magic. The Southern are now at their maximum the Pacific Coast is coming lead, the State of Washington furnishing more lumber than other single state. The yellow of the South is being cut at twelve billion feet a year; the supply will be total hausted in about ten years rate. The United States ambassador to Japan has forwarded to the state department details of the cooperative agreement between the Japanese and Korean governments, outlining a plan for the use of the forests in the Yalu and Tumen valleys. The plan is similar in many ways to the methods of the United States in developing the national forests of this country, under the administration of the forest service. The decision of the Japanese government to apply methods of forestry to the use of the forests of Korea is given especial attention, because it is said that the matter of a large timber concession by Russia to a corporation was one of the ulterior causes of the declaration of war between the two countries. Before Korea came under the rule of Japan, its timber resources were being rapidly depleted by wasteful lumbering, and the country bade fair to become as badly deforested in the course of time as China and Turkey. Southern Pacific and Santa Fe passenger officials state that California is rapidly gaining ground as a summer resort for easterners. It was assumed that the present summer would not be a popular one for travel to California, in view of last season's disaster, but the railway records show that 3200 more people came to California on round trips in June, 1907, than in June, 1906. These may nearly all be classed as summer excursionists. During the months of May, June and July the records of tickets validated show that over 25,000 The planting season in Southern California nationals has been one of unusuality. The rainfall of last year was unusually heavy, and conditions for successful planting were good. A total nearly 180,000 young forests were planted in the nationals of Southern California 75,000 of these have been planted by the forest rangers. National forests in which the logging was done were the San Gustavo San Bernardino, Santa Barbara and the two newer national forests the San Luis Obispo and the Terey. Over 20,000 seedlings set out on the San Gabriel and 000 on the San Bernardino. In Leslie's Weekly Mr. Pinchot, United States Forests said: "A great timber family not only in sight; it is applying with bewildering speed states that in the early 90's we gan to appear that a few rich were getting control of vast of public timber land; that foresaw a great shortage of trees and were preparing to corner supply for private ends; but President Roosevelt proceed establishing national forests protect the public against their nopolizing policy. It is very natural that those who thus save the means of their gains were one for travel to California, in view of last season's disaster, but the railway records show that 3200 more people came to California on round trips in June, 1907, than in June, 1906. These may nearly all be classed as summer excursionists. During the months of May, June and July the records of tickets validated show that over 25,000 summer visitors came to the coast, and this number will be increased greatly by August and September returns, the national irrigation congress alone being expected to attract 3000 visitors in September. Different organizations holding meetings in California this summer are the Mystic Shriners, the German Baptists, the Electric Medical association, the National Educational association and the National Irrigation congress; and in Washington the Christian Endeavor convention, the Good Templars' convention, and the Baptist Young Peoples' union. A large proportion of the visitors of the northwest are expected to return through California.

New Pay Scale Washington, Aug. 1—The military authorities have discovered that it is impossible to get men to inflist in the army on wages of 40 cents a day, when manufacturers, contractors and other employers are paying unskilled labor from $1 a day up. Consequently, Congress is to be informed that if the army is to be maintained in a state of efficiency it is imperative that the pay of the soldiers be New Pay Scale Washington, Aug. 1—The military authorities have discovered that it is impossible to get men to inlist in the army on wages of 40 cents a day, when manufacturers, contractors and other employers are paying unskilled labor from $1 a day up. Consequently, Congress is to be informed that if the army is to be maintained in a state of efficiency it is imperative that the pay of the soldiers be materially increased. Thirty per cent will be asked. Secretary Taft has authorized the appointment of a board of army officers to draw up a new pay scale for the service and to create public interest in the project between now and the time of the convening of Congress. The alarming shortage of men, the ever increasing number of refusals to reenlist and the general advance in pay of other classes of employees contrasted with the small compensation of the soldier boy will put such a strong argument in favor of better pay that it is believed that Congress will promptly grant the War Department's demands. The ranks of the army are now only two-thirds filled. The regular establishment consists of 100,000 men. This has been cut down to a peace footing of 58,000. The best the recruiting service can do is to muster about 40,000 men there being at the present time a shortage of over 17,000 men in the enlisted force.

Head-quarters, Anaheim Garage, Anaheim; Santa Ana branch, Japs Flocking To The Border Washington, Aug. 1—Japanese immigration from Honolulu to British Columbia has largely increased in volume within the last month, and United States immigration authorities are watching to check expected efforts to smuggle Japanese laborers into this country. Newspaper clippings sent to the Commissioner General of Immigration by his agents at Vancouver show a serious situation has arisen there over the flood of Japanese immigration. The Japanese consul at Vancouver, Mr. Morikawa, is quoted as saying that the Japanese are arriving here against the advice both of himself and the Japanese consul at Honolulu, who warned them there would be no room for them in British Columbia. Immigration into Mexico of Japanese from Honolulu has also shown a marked increase since the United States has begun to restrict the admission of Japanese coolies. The immigration authorities are convinced that the bulk of the Japanese hope to ultimately get into the United States.
