That Manufacturing Town Under the heading "Still Fishing," he Bellaire, Ohio, Democrat of date Dec. 20th prints the following item concerning the "manufacturing town" to be located in Orange county, mention of which was made in these columns some weeks ago: STILL FISHING. "The Cleveland capitalists during the past 20 days have subscribed $100,000 to start a new manufacturing town in Orange county, California." "The site is within 22 miles of Los Angeles. The erection of a large factory to make malleable iron will begin at once, besides 100 houses." "The syndicate has purchased 423 acres and has an option on 163 more. The consideration was $45,000. W. H. Kerr of the Chisholm-Moore company of Cleveland will have charge of the manufacturing plant. J. Brent Harding of Los Angeles organized the company." Private information received from Ohio is to the effect that Harding promoted a company in that state some time ago for the manufacture of caskets. So far as can be learned, no caskets were over made by the company, but numerous stockholders, who are said to have been stung in amounts ranging from $500 to $2500, would like to dispose of their stock certificates at a discount. Nothing is known hereabout, so far as can be learned, of the proposed "manufacturing town," but if any of our readers are interested, they may be placed in position to peruse the interesting details concerning the casket factory here alluded to. City Marshal Threatened City Marshal Edwards of Santa Ana has received two anonymous letters which he showed to a representative Walker, Ed Larter, Charles H Sterling Price as a committee p'oy counsel and draft a lease clause that will enable the land to control the marketing of the NATIONAL FOREST The forest problem is far-reaching through timber supply alone in the welfare of the whole nation; the following testimonies show derlies the problems of irrigation drainage, soil conservation, and use of rivers and the safe-guard of the public health. We have made a beginning in preservation, but only a begin. The country is unquestionably in verge of a timber famine. The trouble with the movement in preservation of our forests is has not gone nearly far enough was not begun soon enough. Most fortunate thing, however, began it when we did. We shouldquire in the Appalachian and Mountain regions all the forests that it is possible to acquire for of the nation. These lands, they form a national asset, are phatically national as the rivers they feed, and which flow through many states before they reach ocean. Under present policies of waste, the timber supply of the States will last probably from to thirty-three years. When these fall, the lumber business, now fourth greatest industry in the try, will, of course, disappear. In ing among all building industries immediately follow; mining will come greatly more expensive; naturally the price of coal Nothing is known hereabout, so far as can be learned, of the proposed "manufacturing town," but if any of our readers are interested, they may be placed in position to peruse the interesting details concerning the casket factory here alluded to. City Marshal Threatened City Marshal Edwards of Santa Ana has received two anonymous letters which he showed to a representative of the Register one day recently. The first one reads as follows: Santa Ana. Mr. Edwards—When you are foxy around town remember there is one here who knows all about your leaving Kansas between two days. Get wise. This letter was mailed at the Santa Ana office and bears the stamp of Dec. 23, 1830 p.m. Mr. Edwards received it the next day, Dec. 24. Sheriff Lacy knows all about the letters and others at the city hall have seen them. The other letter has at the top a crude diagram of a coffin with the word "Rest" written across it in imitation of the carved plate. Underneath are these words: "Now the hint and go or keep still." This letter was mailed also at the Santa Ana office. It was received by Mr. Edwards one day last week. The postmark is not clear. It looks as though it were mailed on Dec. 10, but the figures are uncertain. Lehman a Sorehead Charles Lehman, for many years employed at the Court house as expert accountant for the various officers, has gone on record as condemning the Grand Jury for failing to everlastingly damn County Auditor Cal D. Lester for alleged errors in his books. Mr. Lehman has sent a copy of his charges to every paper in Orange county and to one or more papers in Los Angeles with the result that he has achieved the distinction of having established a reputation as a sorehead among those acquainted with actual conditions. It might be of interest, says the Santa Ana Blade, to notice that Mr. Lehman was not employed by the County Auditor this year, but that another man got the job, and the plain inference is that Mr. Lehman felt that he had been slighted and yearned to get square. Under present policies of waste, the timber supply of the States will last probably from thirty-three years. When theests fall, the lumber business, no fourth greatest industry in the try, will, of course, disappear. In among all building industries immediately follow; mining will come greatly more expensive; naturally the price of coal, iron all other minerals will rise; by the railroads will directly affect the cost of transportation and power for lighting, manufacturing transportation will immediately increase. All goods made from precious of the mines will increase in which will hamper, not only agre ture, but the cost of production gally. In fine, when the forest every man, woman and child in United States will feel the pinch through misuse the forests are far rapidly. In six years the Government has claimed 250,000 acres, upon which now living 20,000 people, represen 4000 families. It is a reasonable mate that, in another decade, 2,000 more acres may be reclaimed, which 250,000 more human beings maintain themselves in reason comfort. The water for this work comes o ly from streams rising in mount The maintain the supply of this w it is essential that forests be main ed upon these mountains. To this national forests are indispensable. The waterways of the United States annually sweep from land to sea a million tons of earth. Of this, ninety cent is chiefly soil matter. In we it is comparable with the total an tonnage of all our railroads, and n and lake vessels. Its bulk is one- of a cubic mile; it equals a block mile square and over a thousand high. Applied as a fertilizer it w cover, to the depth of a quar of an inch, an area of about 340 square miles, or the land surface o the Atlantic states from Maine South Carolina inclusive, with W mont, New York, Pennsylvania, V Virginia and one-third of Geo thrown in. Its value may be estim as at least a billion dollars. Its lo Celery Growers Meet A movement is on foot to reduce the acreage devoted to celery from about six to four thousand acres, to eliminate all land that does not produce an exceptionally fine grade. The matter was discussed Thursday night at a meeting at Huntington Beach at which 100 of the leading growers were present. The peat lands of Orange county constitute the largest celery growing district in the United States. Practically all this acreage is under the control of the Celery Growers' Association, although there are about seventy-five Japanese who operate on leased land. The Japanese have an organization of their own and they threaten to withdraw from the association if the closed market is maintained. The result of the meeting Thursday night was the appointment of Frank Larter, Charles Heil and lice as a committee to emel and draft a lease with a will enable the land owners the marketing of the crop. NATIONAL FORESTS It problem is far-reaching. Member supply alone it affects of the whole nation. As testimonies show, it unproblems of irrigation, soil conservation, control vers and the safe-guarding health. made a beginning in forest but only a beginning. is unquestionably on the timber famine. The only in the movement for the of our forests is that it nearly far enough, and soon enough. It is a thing, however, that we we did. We should ace Appalachian and White lands all the forest lands sible to acquire for the use on. These lands, because national asset, are as emotional as the rivers which and which flow through so before they reach the sent policies of use and member supply of the United est probably from twenty years. When the forlumber business, now the industry in the councourse, disappear. Sufferbuilding industries will follow; mining will be more expensive; then Our rivers should be controlled in much the same manner that we control city water. A plan is essential. It must provide for federal action, and it must infallibly include the conservation of forests upon the slopes on which rise important streams. WINDS AND DRAFTS. The Former Are Beneficial, but the Latter Are Dangerous. By a draft is meant the currents of air in an inclosed space. Our forefathers attributed nearly all the evils that beset them to drafts, and they would not have slept in uncurtained beds for anything. Of course their windows and doors were shaky, and houses stood far apart, so-drafts were nearly inevitable. But the modern scientific world tries to deny drafts altogether and calls them winds, which are harmless and even healthy to a certain degree. Any one who cares to find out the difference between a wind and a draft can do so in any apartment which has windows on different sides of the house. Let him open a window on a windy day on the side of the house toward which the wind blows. The air which comes in is quite harmless if the person exposed to it be dressed in warm clothes, and little children may take the air in a room thus ventilated. But let him open a window past which the wind blows, and it will be found that the air in the room is moved by a number of currents, all of which strive to reach the opening. It is the passing wind which sucks up the air in the room and draws it out, and this causes the room to have what is called a draft. The effect upon sensitive persons is immediately felt, like the forerunner of pain to come. A draft will always be felt as colder than the wind. Very dangerous drafts are those that are produced in railway cars by the rapid California Fruit Shipments Figures have been compiled by the Southern Pacific Railroad officials showing the extraordinary character of California fruit shipments and the means taken to make the shipping service safe and expeditious. During the season ending October 31, 1906, 5,930 cars of deciduous green fruit were shipped East from California. This season to November first 7,048 cars. This has been the banner year in the green fruit business. California has received more money net than during any previous season. Many cars of fruit brought over $2000 each, while cherries ranged from $3000 to $5000 per car. The total Northern California shipments of vegetables, green and deciduous and citrus fruits during the season just closing have been 10,912 cars, nearly a thousand more than last year. From Southern California the shipments via all lines were 27,533 cars of citrus fruit and 3477 of vegetables. The prospect for this season is good. Since October 1st, more than 450 cars of deciduous fruit and 1400 cars of oranges and lemons have been shipped from Northern California, a far greater number than last year's corresponding period. The present outlook for the Southern California citrus fruit crop is 32,000 cars—vegetables 4000 cars—this season, altogether spelling prosperity in capital letters for California fruit growers. To carry this fruit 6600 of the most expensive refrigerator cars yet constructed over a thousand feet as a fertilizer it would depth of a quarter area of about 340,000 or the land surface of all states from Maine to inclusive, with Verk, Pennsylvania, West one-third of Georgia value may be estimated on dollars.

The present outlook for the Southern California citrus fruit crop is 32,000 cars—vegetables 4000 cars—this season, altogether spelling prosperity in capital letters for California fruit growers. To carry this fruit 6600 of the most expensive refrigerator cars yet constructed have been purchased at a cost of $11,550,000. They were built by the Southern Pacific, Union Pacific, Oregon Short Line and Oregon Railway and Navigation Companies to care for the fruit business originating on these lines, ninety per cent of which grows in California. To insure greatest efficiency in operation a separate company, the Pacific Fruit Express, was originated to look after the distribution, iceing, etc., these cars. It has its own representatives, but all agents and departments of the Southern Pacific give these cars the same consideration as if they were directly operated. The cars were built specially for fruit transportation, with such dimensions as to make it possible to load the product low, giving full efficiency in refrigeration. Icing is done carefully, and the ice shortage of last season is being met by the construction by the Pacific Fruit Express of two great ice-making plants, one at Colton, one at Roseville, to supplement the private companies, supplies, and other plants will be built if needed. Other cars also will be constructed as business demands. Officials of the Southern Pacific Company point out as one of the advantages of the existing consolidation of managements of the Union and Southern Pacific Companies the fact that that For Hats, Shirts Underwear Kwear, Hosiery, Suit Cases and Trunks or anything in Men's Wear, call on ungbluth & Kroeger 127 W.
