PRODUCTS OF CALIFORNIA Vast Strides In Wealth-Producing Power In Twenty Years We do not in California realize how far we have gone in twenty years. In those two decades the productive capacity of the state, its wealth making power, has far outstripped the growth of population. The opening of a new year makes timely a comparison suggested by some remarks of Eugene Germain printed recently a Los Angeles paper, from which we quote: "Why, it seems but yesterday that the shipment of a few carloads of citrus fruits to eastern markets was heralded as an event; yet today we are less surprised at the statement that 25,000 carloads go forth valued at something like $19,000,000. In 1887 I was in a small way, as things go now, shipping fruit and midwinter vegetables north by steamer to San Francisco, the only market available. We used to hear of Fresno only as a spot on the map; now that town "turns" $28,000,000 worth of soil products a year." This is only a beginning. The vast imperial spaces of the great interior valley are yet untouched. The present rare oases of that magnificent empire are all due to the beginning that has been made in bringing water on the land. Irrigation got its first firm foothold south of Tehachapi, with what marvelous results Mr. Germain indicates. But the conquest of the great valley has begun. Fresno shows what can be done. Stanislaus county, with its teeming dairy lands yielding their fatness to the touch of water is following suit. San Joaquin, Kern and Tulare feel the impetus. It is a great country. The other day a European cable told us that the French people, notwithstanding all the sufferings of a country ravaged by war, were still the bankers of the world with money to spare and to lend. Why? Because the products of France, like California, are largely the luxuries for which less favored countries pay high prices. There is a wider margin a greater profit in such products. USE OF WOOD FOR BUILDING Still Principal Material Used In Construction According to Government Report Great as the advance in fire-construction has been during the ten years there has been no loss in the use of lumber, and both architects and builders find them so dependent on wood today that they are compelled to admit that these ests of the country are likely to be the chief source of building material for many years to come. "The use of cement, terra cotta brick and stone, with a frame of steel, will make it possible to do away with wood entirely," a remark often heard, and, in when one stands on lower Brook and looks up at the towering scrapers, the statement seem to contain much truth. As a matter of fact, however, the popular that fire-proof materials will do with the need of using lumber comparatively few years is an erroneous one. All of the various proof materials going into the proved construction of the more stantial buildings are used in greater quantities now than the world or dreamed of a few years ago, the heavy demand for lumber continues. That wood predominates is sheared by the annual building records. The permits used for buildings erected last year, approximately 61 percent were constructed of wood, the remaining 39 per cent of fire-sisting material, according to a report issued by the Geological Survey on operations in forty-nine lead cities of the country. These figures are the more significant when realized that they only represent building activities in the largest cities; they do not take into account the construction of dwellings, houses and other buildings in the thousands of small cities and towns located over and not included in forty-nine cities on which the mining is made. In towns and small cities wo The other day a European cable told us that the French people, notwithstanding all the sufferings of a country ravaged by war, were still the bankers of the world with money to spare and to lend. Why? Because the products of France, like California, are largely the luxuries for which less favored countries pay high prices. There is a wider margin, a greater profit, in such products than in the staples that can be raised anywhere. California has a practical monopoly of such products on this continent and the state is on the way to become the France of America. Theo.

After taking three bottles of your wonderful medicine, our baby was entirely well and needed no more medicine. At sixteen months of age she weighed thirty pounds. She had cried eight months, night and day, and nothing did her good until we tried Scott's Emulsion.”—MRS. E. C. SMITH, Villa Rica, Ga. To flood Wash Lands River Overflow to Feed the Underground Supply Washington, Jan. 29.—The committee on public lands, which under consideration the bill provisional for flooding of certain lands in formia, has reported favorably that measure. The land to which bill refers is practically valueless; it is proposed to try an interesting periment with it. It is in the wash of the Santa river, near Redlands. For nearly half a mile on each bank of the er there is no soil whatever, and is pointed out that boulders, gravel and coarse sand predominate. Only a few applicants have filed quests for the land. The secretary of the interior withdrawn the land from further try. The idea is to fill this land water, which will sink to bedrock it is thought that it will make its pearance again in the lower part of the river, where it may be divided into the irrigation canals, and feed the flowing wells. The report emphasizes the fact if these flood waters are not turbined down the river's course, and entered into the ocean, without serving any good purpose whatever. The government incurs no expense as it merely permits persons to the lands in question. entirely well and needed no more medicine. At sixteen months of age she weighed thirty pounds. She had cried eight months, night and day, and nothing did her good until we tried Scott's Emulsion."—MRS. E. C. SMITH, Villa Rica, Ga. Scott's Emulsion probably saved this child's life. Four doctors had been tried. Scott's Emulsion seemed to be just the thing needed, and it is just the thing needed by thousands of other children. It's so easily digested, so pure and harmless, yet most powerful in building up the most delicate child or adult. But be sure to get Scott's Emulsion, there are so many worthless and harmful imitations.

Knowing that Chinese are being brought into this state from Mexico Harry H.Weddie, inspector in charge of the immigration service of the Southern California district has decided to offer rewards that may help break up the contraband trade. Weddie has just completed a trip through Orange county, which is on the alleged route of the underground, and has offered for every Chinese caught $5, for every guide of contraband parties $50, for every master of a vessel landing Chinese $100. Some years ago captors of smuggled Chinese received a reward for their work and risk. This was taken off., and since then officers not connected with the customs service seldom put themselves out to hunt up smugglers. Inspectors believe that there is an organized gang that escorts bands of Chinese from Mexico to Los Angeles at a fixed price per head. It has long been thought that Chinese were landed on the coast near the San Mateo creek in the northern part of San Diego county, from which point Mexican guides escort the Chinese over the hills of the O'Neil ranches by night, hiding in the brush by day, to some point between El Toro and Santa Ana, where automobiles from Los Angeles pick them up and whisk them into Chinatown. Several months ago an automobile bearing seven Chinese broke down near Santa Ana, and the Asiatics were captured and deported. INTEREST WOOL GROWERS Allotted 13,500 More Sheep on Saw-tooth Forest Than Were Grazed Last Year A misunderstanding, which officers INTEREST WOOL GROWERS Allotted 13,500 More Sheep on Sawtooth Forest Than Were Grazed Last Year A misunderstanding, which officers of the Forest Service consider very regrettable, has arisen in the state of Idaho in regard to the number of sheep to be grazed on the Sawtooth national forest during the season of 1909, and it has taken several long telegrams between Governor Gooding and Gifford Pinchot to explain matters. Last year the total number allowed was 348,000, of which but 321,000 sheep were actually grazed on this forest. The allotment for the present season was 335,000, 13,500 more than actually grazed last year. In anticipation of demand for range from new owners, a sliding scale was prepared and the supervisor was instructed to reduce the large owners on the basis of this scale in order to provide range for new applicants and other persons entitled to share in its use who did not use it last season. The publication of this sliding scale has been accepted by Governor Gooding as an indication that a reduction has been made in the total number of sheep allowed. In his last telegram Governor Gooding concludes by asking, "Have the sheepmen of Idaho, from their figures, not a right to believe it is your intention to destroy their industry?" The much talked of "inventory of natural resources" is completed now as far as present knowledge can go. The national conservation commission has not made its findings public so far, but the members of the commission declare and the country as a whole is convinced that the state of affairs is one that requires immediate and effective action. The problem that the joint conference must help to solve is what form this action must take and in what direction it must be pushed to be most effective. This is a task which demands the shrewdest judgment which the national conservation commission can call to its aid and is one for which both Carnegie and Hill are eminently fitted. The commission realizes that it has reached the critical point in its work.
