PICKERING Agent, Anahe HOT ROAST FOR THE KICKERS THIS MAN WANTS TO SEE THE STREETS PAVED Advises City Fathers to Visit Progressive Southern California Towns and see how Things are Done There Money Seeking Outside Investment Editor Gazette.—In looking over the situation in Anaheim in regard to the necessary public improvements I feel that perhaps it might do some good to discuss matters as we find them at this time. I have always maintained that the people of this place have a very great lack of local pride. And furthermore I am quite sure I can produce the proofs. The action of the city board in turning down the proposition to pave the streets and lay it by for six months, is almost beyond comprehension. Is it possible that they should forget the condition of the streets all last winter with putrid mud and slush from six to ten inches deep, and the stench arising from it whenever the days began to get a little warm. In no other town in the southern part of the state would such a condition be allowed to exist one month. Look at the little town of Upland. Although it has good drainage it has already made preparation and is going ahead putting in a sewer system. Perhaps it might be of some benefit to our board of trustees to take a trip to the towns of Redlands, Ontario, Corona, or any of several other places where their town officers have a jealous pride to not let any COLORADO RIVER Rich Mining Region Up Short A reclamation project 240,000 acres of rich on the Colorado river low Parker. The irrigation of most of acres on the California bly reaching as far south government lands in the Key that have been ww entry by the reclamation. The opening of the of the Santa Fe acres within a year. The development of region as rich as any States and where some est copper deposits in to be found. These are some of t are in store for the country, in the eastern erside and southeastern dino counties, and the across the river, as to geles newspaper by F president of the Santa Phoenix railroad.

Look at the little town of Upland. Although it has good drainage it has already made preparation and is going ahead putting in a sewer system. Perhaps it might be of some benefit to our board of trustees to take a trip to the towns of Redlands, Ontario, Corona, or any of several other places where their town officers have a jealous pride to not let any other town get ahead of them in the way of public improvement. What we lack here is manufactories of some kind that will give employment to lots of men, thereby creating a payroll, and a necessity for more buildings and a general broadening out. But can you expect to entice any manufactory here with such streets as we had last winter? Or with such a stupid listless attitude toward any public improvement which the progressive class of people here are constantly urging to have performed as far as a reasonable outlay will justify? Within the last seven months there has been lots of hard cash drawn out of the natural depositories within the radius of this town and invested in stocks, which some other place gets the benefit from. The promoters of stock companies find here in Anaheim a fertile field to work in because there don't seem to be anything here to absorb the surplus capital that can be fished out hereabouts. There has been within the time mentioned a sum approximated at close to $40,000, and may run above that figure, in good hard coin of the realm taken from here to exploit something elsewhere. You business men, and property owners of Anaheim, what do you think of it? Are you going to wade through a nauseating hog-wallow of a street another winter, just because a few kickers don't want to do anything to improve the town, but would keep it just the same as it has been for the last thirty years? Wouldn't it be the better part of good common sense and wisdom to hold close communion with the progressive element of our community, rather than go off with the class region with F. H. New of the reclamation service now in Los Angeles, ad P. P.

Wouldn't it be the better part of good common sense and wisdom to hold close communion with the progressive element of our community, rather than go off with the class that are known in every town or city as kickers, especially where there are any substantial improvements to be made, and who would postpone it for six months and then some.

COLORADO RIVER PROJECT The Mining Region to Be Opened Up Shortly A reclamation project to include 100 acres of rich bottom land in the Colorado river in Arizona, be-Parker. The irrigation of many thousands acres on the California side, possibly reaching as far south as the government lands in the Palo Verde valley that have been withdrawn from use by the reclamation service. The opening of the Parker cut-off near Santa Fe across to Bengal in a year. The development of a mining region as rich as any in the United States and where some of the great copper deposits in the world are found. These are some of the things that can store for the Colorado river in the eastern part of Riviera and southeastern San Bernardino counties, and the region lying along the river, as told a Los Antep newspaper by F. M. Murphy, assistant of the Santa Fe, Prescott & Monix railroad. Murphy and some of his associates have just been touring this town with F. H. Newell, director of the reclamation service, and he is in Los Angeles, accompanied by Hastings, general freight andenger agent of his road. Mr. Will also was in Los Angeles this week on his way to the northwest. Murphy confirmed the state that within a few months the 20,000 acres of the Parker pro- will be opened and the water NEW BIRD LAW Enforcement of Statute Will Begin Next Month Notices warning them that the Audubon society of California proposes to institute a vigorous enforcement of the new bird law passed by the last legislature, are being sent to all milliners in the state by the society. The notices are in the form of circular letters stating that the act will become effective June 17, and that on and after that date any milliner detected in possession of forbidden feathers or skins of protected birds will be prosecuted. In each letter a printed leaflet is enclosed, giving in condensed form the provisions of the law. The act protects all birds which are natives or visitors in California, except certain game birds, and the latter are specifically designated. It says that "no part of the plumage, skin or body of any bird protected by this section shall be sold or had in possession for sale, irrespective of whether said bird was captured within or without the state." The game birds not protected under the act are swans, geese, brant, and river and sea ducks, rails, coots, mudhens and gallinules, shore birds, plover, surf birds, snipe, sandpipers, tattlers and curlews, wild turkeys, grouse, prairie chickens, pheasants, partridges and quail, and wild pigeons and doves. All other species of wild birds, either resident or migratory, are classed as non-game birds. In the warning circulars there is the following announcement: "You are specifically warned against selling Murphy confirmed the state that within a few months the 20,000 acres of the Parker pro- will be opened and the water table for irrigating it. The Laguna dam now is complete and the reclamation service sees beginning of the end of its great on the Salt river project," said Murphy.

THE GROWTH OF ISTHMIAN TRADE A recent publication of the federal bureau of statistics gives some interesting figures showing the volume of traffic by the two isthmian routes — Panama and Tehuantepec. The Panama business is comparatively insignificant owing to the policy of the Pacific Mail steamship company, which is maintained by the overland railroads for the principal purpose of discouraging competition by sea. The Tehuantepec route, although in operation for only two years, has already created a great and growing business, of which some particulars are given by the bureau as follows: The business of the Tehuantepec line, although much larger in its value than that of the Panama route, was confined almost exclusively to business between the eastern and western ports of the United States, including, however, in this term the Hawaiian islands, which are now a customs district of the United States. Of the nearly $38,000,000 worth of merchandise passing over the Tehuantepec line in 1908 a little over $21,-000,000 worth moved from the Pacific end, destined for ports on the eastern coast of the United States; and $16,500,000 worth moved from the eastern end, destined for Pacific ports. Of the $21,000,000 worth of merchandise received at the Pacific ST DEFENSE MANEUVERS The maneuvers of the New York guard and the coast artillery to those held last year, have been decided upon, and in connection with an interesting reconnaissance has been made. It is that of steam yachts of New York limited to take part in these defence exercises as an attack. By this means a large would be assembled, and so add to the interest and instructive simulating an enemy, requiring and direction of attack. Proposed, also, to enlist the infantry of the naval militia in this Hitherto this service has complained by the coast artillery, and much had to be left imagination, but with the eminent of steam yachts, possibly the command of some naval officers would be in value and the interest in would be augmented. Directors of the Richland Wallaceiation of Orange appointed Heim Co. and Rosenberg Bros. San Francisco, as brokers for big season's crop. The association is estimated at about fifty customs district of the United States. Of the nearly $38,000,000 worth of merchandise passing over the Tehuantepec line in 1908 a little over $21,-000,000 worth moved from the Pacific end, destined for ports on the eastern coast of the United States; and $16,500,000 worth moved from the eastern end, destined for Pacific ports. Of the $21,000,000 worth of merchandise received at the Pacific terminus of the Tehuantepec road and moved eastwardly, $17,750,000 worth was from Hawaii, being almost exclusively sugar; while between $3,000,000 and $4,000,000 worth originated on the Pacific coast, chiefly at San Francisco, being composed of miscellaneous merchandise. Of the $16,-500,000 worth passing westwardly over the Tehuantepec line, $14,250,000 was sent to ports on the Pacific coast—San Francisco, San Diego and Port Townsend—and $2,250,000 worth to Hawaii. The Tehuantepec railroad is owned partly by the Mexican government and partly by British capitalists. In the first year of its operation the road carried nearly $30,000,000 worth of merchandise and in the second year the total ran close up to $38,-000,000. The Panama railroad carried $12,000,000 worth of merchandise in 1907 and $9,500,000 in 1908, and most of that was government freight for canal construction. New York, San Francisco and Honolulu are the chief originating centers for this rapidly increasing isthmian trade, which is certain to exercise a very forceful influence on the regulation of railroad freights. It is a trade that California shippers and producers will do well to encourage.
