FORESTERS MEET AT BALBOA TRI-COUNTIES COMMITTEE HOLD NOTABLE SESSION THURSDAY Forest Supervisor Charlton Makes Interesting Report Upon Planting Trees on Mountain Watersheds—Rsolutions Praise Flint, Smith and Melrose for Public Work Well Done The regular quarterly meeting of the Tri-Counties Reforestation Committee was held at Balboa on Thursday, with an unusually large attendance from all three counties. The members of the committee from Riverside and San Bernardino counties went to Santa Ana on the morning Santa Fe train and took a special car from there over the new electric line to Huntington Beach. This line would be a great accommodation to the people of Riverside and San Bernardino counties who desire to visit the Orange county coast resorts, if the cars made good connections with the Santa Fe trains. At present, however, a long wait is necessary in Santa Ana. The main purpose of the road seems to be to handle the beet crop from the rich peat lands for the new factory at Santa Ana and not much attention is being paid to its possibilities as a passenger line. On arriving at Balboa the party was given a trip about the bay in two launches, by courtesy of the East Newport Chamber of Commerce. This very pleasant and instructive incident of the day was managed by that tireless booster for Balboa, W. W. Wilson, president of the chamber. Several of the visitors from San Bernardino county had never been out on the bay before and they were strongly impressed with its great possibilii Careful scientific tests are now being made by the forest service to determine the difference in run off bare mountain slopes and similar slopes that are covered with trees. The expense of the work in connection with the San Bernardino reserve last year was $28,000, and the revenue was $12,500. This was received from the sale of lumber and wood and for special privileges, such as the right to cross the reserve with the conduits or transmission lines of the power companies. Mr. Charlton's talk was discussed by J. J. Atwood, E. O. Rickard, E. W. Holmes, George Robertson, Kenneth McRea and other members of the committee. Other Business S. Armour of Orange then read an interesting paper on "The True Sources of Our Water Supply." He held that the water in our streams artesian wells does not come from any remote source, but from the mountains that stand back of the valley. He showed by rainfall statistics that enough water falls to fully account for all that is available for use for irrigation. Assemblyman Richard Melrose of Anaheim reviewed the work of the last state legislature in regard to the forests. He said that there remains much to be done in the way of state and national legislation for the forests. He said he was in thorough sympathy with the work of the organization, and should he remain in politics and be in a position to help the work of the association he could always be counted on to do all within his power for it. E. E. Keech, in behalf of the water conservation association that has been formed to take up the work of spreading the winter waters stated that the incorporation papers had just been received from the secretary of state. Later it was arran- On arriving at Balboa the party was given a trip about the bay in two launches, by courtesy of the East Newport Chamber of Commerce. This very pleasant and instructive incident of the day was managed by that tireless booster for Balboa, W. W. Wilson, president of the chamber. Several of the visitors from San Bernardino county had never been out on the bay before and they were strongly impressed with its great possibilities as a harbor. The party was landed at the Balboa pavilion and dinner was served at the Balboa hotel. The business meeting of the committee was held in the dining room immediately following the dinner. Mr. Wilson welcomed the committee to Balboa and expressed the hope that we should soon have a Tri-Counties Harbor Committee. Supervisor Reports Chairman Cuttle introduced R. H. Charlton, forest supervisor, who gave an interesting review of the recent work done under his direction in the Angeles reserve. Taking up the matter of reforestation, Mr. Charlton stated that the forest service now has about 2,000,000 trees started at the new forest nurseries in Lytle creek, and expects to be able hereafter to plant out 150,000 conifers and 50,000 eucalyptus annually. So far the eucalyptus trees planted have done much better than the conifers; 95 per cent have lived, while of the conifers planted last winter, only 50 per cent are now alive, and that percentage will be still smaller before the rains of next winter. Mr. Charlton said that frankly he had a good deal of doubt about the success of attempting to reforest the southern slope of the San Bernardino range. The forest service is now trying to find some varieties of eucalyptus suitable for mountain planting. At present it is not considered safe to plant eucalyptus higher than 2000 or 3000 feet. The field scouts of the department of agriculture who travel about over the world hunting for new things that will be useful in this country are now on the outlook for forest resistant species of eucalyptus and for hardy conifers that might be useful for reforestation purposes in an arid climate like this. Mr. Charlton reported that some forest seeds had been sown broadcast in the mountains where the rainfall was heavy, but the squirrels and sympathy with the work of the organization, and should he remain in politics and be in a position to help the work of the association he could always be counted on to do all within his power for it. E. E. Keech, in behalf of the water conservation association that has been formed to take up the work of spreading the winter waters stated that the incorporation papers had just been received from the secretary of state. Later it was arranged that a meeting of the directors of the association for the purpose of adopting by-laws should be held in Riverside on July 22. William Crowther, president of the Anaheim Union Water Co., stated that the water companies are thoroughly in earnest in their support of the work of the committee. George Frost spoke of the importance of this water spreading work, and said he hoped to live to see a monument erected to the man who had first suggested this means of water conservation—W. E. Pedley. Votes of thanks were tendered Richard Melrose for assistance in the state legislature and to A. A. Lester and W. W. Wilson for courtesies shown the committee. A resolution was adopted in support of the movement for federal aid for the development of Newport harbor. Chairman Cuttle was elected to represent the committee at the irrigation congress at Spokane. Riverside Next Time The committee then adjourned to meet in Riverside on October 7. MONSTER CAST UP Enormous Shark Thrown Ashore by Ocean at Huntington Beach HUNTINGTON BEACH, July 13.—An enormous shark was cast up by ocean Saturday morning about one-half mile south of this city. It measured twenty-nine and one-half feet in length, and weighed fully four tons. The mouth extended a third of the length of the body. SUGAR BEETS SHIPPED The first carcads of sugar beets were shipped Thursday morning over the new Santa Ana-Huntington Peach electric line. They were loaded at the Borchard dump and sent to the sugar factory at Oxnard. Six additional cars were sent out Friday, and ship- department of agriculture who travel about over the world hunting for new things that will be useful in this country are now on the outlook for forest resistant species of eucalyptus and for hardy conifers that might be useful for reforestation purposes in an arid climate like this. Mr. Charlton reported that some forest seeds had been sown broadcast in the mountains where the rainfall was heavy, but the squirrels and gophers had gotten away with most of the seeds. In reply to questions Mr. Charlton emphasized the importance of chaparral on the lower mountain slopes as a means of water conservation and said that even after the chaparral was burned over, it would spring up again from the roots. E. W. Holmes spoke encouragingly of the extent to which natural reforestation is going forward on the San Jacinto mountains. Mr. Charlton gave an interesting report on the work accomplished in the matter of fire protection. He stated that there were 19 prosecutions made last summer in the reserve under his charge and that one man was sent to jail for ten days for refusing to turn out and help fight fires. The fire lanes and fire trails have been extended and telephone lines for the use of rangers have been constructed to many new points. Private parties are allowed to connect with these lines in order that they may report fires to the rangers whenever they observe them. Tool chests containing fire-fighting outfits have been placed at many points in the mountains and other steps taken to improve the efficiency of the work of safeguarding the forests against fire. There are now 33 rangers employed on the reserve. SUGAR BEETS SHIPPED The first carcads of sugar beets were shipped Thursday morning over the new Santa Ana-Huntington Peach electric line. They were loaded at the Borchard dump and sent to the sugar factory at Oxnard. Six additional cars were sent out Friday, and shipments will now follow regularly in increasing quantities. According to the statement of S. W. Price, this year's harvest of sugar beets will yield in round numbers $1,000,000 to the ranchers of the peatlands. The weather during the growing season was ideal, the rains being nicely distributed; the acreage is enormous, and the quality of the yield exceptionally fine. There has been no dearth of labor in this section though the ranchers were forced to employ, in addition to the Japanese, a great many Hindus, white labor being practically unobtainable in sufficient number to make it a factor in the care of the sugar beets. POTATOES Mesa, Arizona, July 9, '09. Editor Gazette, Anaheim, Cal.—Reading your paper this morning I found where you say that there are not many potatoes going over the eastern line of California. Just name a few potato growers or notify them of my inquiry in regards to spuds. I would like to get their prices in carload lots. We may be able to do some business. Hoping to hear from you or some of the growers, I beg to remain, As ever C. Fritz Martin.

Co., through its Anaheim office, reports the sale of the 20-acre improved ranch of Mrs. A. G. Walters, located about one-half mile east of Ahaheim, to Frank W. Champion of Ocean Park, for $20,000 cash. This is one of the most modernly improved ranches in Orange county, having a handsome 9-room house, splendid barn and out-buildings, and a 25 H.P. pumping plant. Mr. Champion will set the entire property to MOUNTAIN LION KILLS HOUND Best Dog in Santiago Fox Club's Pack Torn by Ferocious Beast The tracks of a large mountain lion had been seen at different times in the road near J. E. Pleasant's ranch in the Santiago Canyon, some twenty miles east of Santa Ana. Mr. Pleasant saw a lion cross the road in front of him a few months since, as he was going to Santa Ana. He keeps the Santiago Fox Club's hounds, also some for J. A. Turner, THE SOLSTITIAL PERIOD We are at the summer solstice, and it is appropriate to correct a common misunderstanding in relation to the solstitial period. The common belief that the 21st day of June is the longest day and the 21st day of December is the shortest in this latitude is true only in theory. There is no perceptible difference in the length of the day between the 14th of June and the 28th, between the 15th of December and the 29th. Consequently, instead there being one long day there Williams Bros. Co., through its Anaheim office, reports the sale of the 20-acre improved ranch of Mrs. A. G. Walters, located about one-half mile east of Anaheim, to Frank W. Champion of Ocean Park, for $20,000 cash. This is one of the most modernly improved ranches in Orange county, having a handsome 9-room house, splendid barn and out-buildings, and a 25 H.P. pumping plant. Mr. Champion will set the entire property to Valencia oranges, intersetting the 6 acres now in walnuts. After having made a thorough canvass of the relative merits of the different localities of Southern California, Mr. Champion chose Orange county, and Anaheim. The same real estate firm also reports the sale of the following properties: 10-acre improved ranch of Mrs. Mary L. Smale, about a half mile south of Anaheim, to Mrs. Nancy Pancoast, for $7500. 10-acre improved ranch about one mile east of Anaheim, Frank Machleb to B. E. Pancoast, price $7500. 5-acre ranch of Christoph Kaelke about a half mile east of Anaheim, to A. G. Wedekind, consideration $3200. Mr. Wedekind is from Reno, Nevada, and expects to further improve the property. 5-acre ranch of Alfred Branson, located at West Anaheim, to H. P. Royer, a newcomer from the east, price $3500. 5-acre ranch of Mrs. Wren, about one and one-half miles south of town, to Mary L. Smale, price $2700. 10-acre ranch in walnuts about one mile south of Anaheim, to Harry L. Hall of Los Angeles, price $8000. 20-acre ranch of J. N. Long, three miles southwest of Anaheim, to Charles Grant, a newcomer from England, price $6500. The tracks of a large mountain lion had been seen at different times in the road near J. E. Pleasant's ranch in the Santiago Canyon, some twenty miles east of Santa Ana. Mr. Pleasant saw a lion cross the road in front of him a few months since, as he was going to Santa Ana. He keeps the Santiago Fox Club's hounds, also some for J. A. Turner, at his place and the hounds often go out hunting by themselves, and a few days ago while out they started a lion, which had just killed a sheep. The herder saw the lion several times, with the pack in full cry after it, but being on foot could not follow them. Two other parties also saw the lion and hounds and afterward told Mr. Pleasants about it and said the hounds were only a short distance behind the animal. When the hounds came in, Pike, one of the ablest and best in the pack, was missing, but he managed to crawl in about dusk, so badly torn and cut up that he died that night. Mr. Pleasants remarked to his wife that the dog must have been in a fight with a lion, not knowing that th dogs had been after one. The next day old Mr. Harding, who is very feeble and nearly blind, told Mr. Plaesants that the hounds had had a terrible fight with something in the canyon near his cabin, where they had evidently overtaken the lion. This pack often catches and kills coyotes and wild cats, but the lion, which is much larger and stronger than a dog, was evidently too much for them. Patron—Have you pigs' feet? Walter—No, sir. It's a bunion makes me walk that way. The common belief that the 21st oak of June is the longest day and the 21st day of December is the shortest in this latitude is true only in the arctic. There is no perceptible difference in the length of the day between the 14th of June and the 28th; between the 15th of December and the 29th. Consequently, instead there being one long day there are 14 in June, and 14 short ones in December. The action of the earth in the elastic is illustrated by the action of great pendulum which has made full swing and pauses for the backward swing. The Aryan root "ak" meant "to sharp," and the idea of sharpness has followed it at least through two thousand years into all of the families of languages of that tongue. It quite likely that the property was conceived by these ancestors from handling shells—the first knives that man knew. The cutting edge was referred to by "ak" long before the most primitive people had learned to put an edge on flint. When these Aryans wanted to express the idea of sharpness of mind they used the same word. This rover went into the Greek, where it became "akros," meaning pointed. In Sanskrit it is "aere," meaning the same thing. In the Latin we find "acrimonia," signifying sharpness from which our "acrid" comes. The Latin also has "acer" meaning sharp and "acus," a needle. In the Anglo-Saxon it became "eag," an edge. So the idea of sharpness runs all the way through, and we have it in our "acid," "aute," "edge," and "axe," well as in "acrid" and "acumen."
