SCHOOL MONEYS Quarterly Apportionment Made by Superintendent Mitchell The fourth quarterly apportionment of state school money for the schools of Orange county has been made by County School Superintendent R. P. Mitchell, the aggregate amount being $28,728.79. The apportionment for the county schools is made on a basis of $6 per pupil on average daily attendance,and for the high schools on a basis of Huntington Beach, T. J. Lewis of Santa Ana, and Ed. Edkinson and Cordie Rodgers of Trabuca. Rogers and Edwards were successful in bringing down a fine buck apiece. Hazeltine and James killed one each putting a bullet into him, with honors even. Larter is reported to have had the toughest luck of the hunt. He shot at two big bucks, but was unable to land either of them. The three bucks killed were two-pronged. County Treasurer Joplin of Santa Ana and Andrew Joplin of Trabuco,hunted on Thursday and Friday. Andrew Joplin got a fine buck Thursday evening, and on Friday morning the treasurer brought down his buck. He says it was as fine a buck as he ever killed, which maens that the deer must have been the very best. Treasurer Joplin got his deer with a shot at about 250 yards. He saw the animal standing, but could not distinguish the antlers. For five minutes Joplin strained his eyes.The deer then started to run and immediately the prongs were seen.The first shot struck beneath the buck and threw gravel over him.The second shot brought him down. FIRES IN FORESTS How Long Is Fire-Killed Timber Commercially Valuable? WASHINGTON, July 17.-How long will timber remain commercially valuable after it has been swept over by a forest fire? Timber land owners as well as the Federal Government are much interested in obtaining this information,and the government has just begun an investigation of a large number of fire areas in Oregon and Washington in order to determine if possible,the length of time which will elapse after a forest fire before the timber deteriorates to Quarterly Apportionment Made by Superintendent Mitchell The fourth quarterly apportionment of state school money for the schools of Orange county has been made by County School Superintendent R.

Timber land owners as well as the Federal Government are much interested in obtaining this information, and the government has just begun an investigation of a large number of fire areas in Oregon and Washington in order to determine if possible, the length of time which will elapse after a forest fire before the timber deteriorates to such a condition as to decrease its commercial value. The agencies which cause timber to decay and encourage the attack of wood borers are undoubtedly influenced to a greater or less degree by the intensity of the original fire and the climatic conditions and altitude of the burned areas. All the information in connection with this investigation will be obtained first hand by the Forest Service, either from government timber land, or from private holdings where logging operations are under way. In this connection the Forest Service has also undertaken an investigation to determine the relative strength of green and fire-killed timber. The material which is to be tested is being sawed at the Eastern and Western Lumber Company of Portland, Oregon, where it will be surfaced to exact sizes and then transported to Seattle, where tests will be made in connection with the Forest Service exhibit at the A. Y. P. Exposition. The fire-killed trees which are to yield material for these tests were selected by representatives of the Forest Service on the holdings of the Clarke County Timber Company of Portland, Oregon, near Yacolt, Washington. This timber was burned over seven years ago and represents fairly well, the average burned timber found in the Pacific northwest. The logs which vary from three to four feet in diameter, were sawed into thirty two foot lengths. These are being manufactured into sixteen foot floor joists and bridge stringers. The results of these tests are being anticipated with great interest by Forest Service engineers and by the lumbermen of the northwest, because they are expected to disapprove the opinion generally held regarding the strength of fire-killed timber.

Santa Ana hunters seem to have been more successful. A party of hunters in Holy Jim canyon on the south side of Mount Modjeska brought in three deer on Thursday, the opening day. J. C. and Andrew Joplin got two deer. Deer are so scarce that hunters who go out for them in the Santa Ana mountains are doomed to almost certain disappointment. On the first two days of the season the mountains were well scouted over, from the Santa Ana Canyon far down into San Diego county. In the Holy Jim canyon party, which hunted over the area burned over by fire last summer, were H. S. Hazeltine, Ernest Edwards, Ed. Larter, will James and Frank Hazard and son of Smeltzer, Jacob Reed of The county assessment rolls, which have been in the hands of the supervisors sitting as a board of equalization for the last two weeks, were on Tuesday returned to the County Auditor, and the announcement is made that not one complaint of over-assessment was made, and in only one instance was the assessed valuation changed from the original figures. This was in the case of Mrs. Ella Thomas, of Olive, whose assessed valuation on property owned by her was raised some four hundred dollars by the board of equalization. As there had been much floating talk of alleged dissatisfaction with the assessment, it was assumed that the sessions of the board of equalization would be attended by dozens of taxpayers with complaints to air, but as not one protestant appeared, the inference is that everybody is satisfied with the assessment. Interesting figures taken from the rolls show the assessment for 1908 and 1909 and the gain as follows: Personal property, 1908, $2,554,055; 1909, $3,011,030; gain, $456,975. Pacific Electric Railway, 1908, $381,945; $1909, $450,760; gain, $68,-815.

There was not a single petition put in asking for the reduction of an assessment. The only change made in the rolls was ordered Monday morning, following a hearing on the citation issued to Mrs. Ella C. Thomas to show cause why the assessment on forty-five acres of land at Olive should not be raised. Taylor Bush, foreman of the ranch, appeared. The property had been assessed at about $52 per acre. A part of it lies in the Santa Ana river. The board raised the assessment to $75 per acre. On Tuesday the books were turned over to the county auditor by the county clerk. Hans and Fred Weisel, Jake Klein, and Harold Cordes of this city and Ernest Philipps of Milwaukee left on Sunday night for San Fernando valley on a ten days' deer hunt. Rev.

It will be given away during the big Summer Clearance Sale just beginning and today's advertisement in this paper will tell you how to get it. Do not fail to read it. J. W. Hart was in town from Los Angeles yesterday. Levi Mann has purchased a Maxwell runabout. County Assessor Scott was in town yesterday shaking hands with his numerous friends hereaway. The Horticultural Examining Commission, reference to which was made naed L. Hill, who is serving the veneire, hoping to disqualify the veneire. The prosecution has likewise taken an unusual step. It has summoned Bell as a witness. The trial will be held on July 26. Mrs. Dasque is proprietress of a well-known restaurant. State officials at Sacramento predict that, when all the returns are in, an increase of at least $100,000,000 in assessed valuation over last year will be shown. This will be a splendid showing for the state, coming so soon after the late lamented stringency, and will afford another illustration of California's ability to maintain herself under the most adverse circumstances. The most wonderful feature of the returns to date are those from San Francisco showing an increase of $40,000,000 and bringing the total within 5 per cent of what it was before the fire. This certainly is a record recovery and an indisputable evidence of the courage and enterprise of the men who have the destiny of that great city in their hands. OFFICERS AND PRESIDENT.

FARMERS OF WEST NEED M WASHINGTON, July 20.-Thousand able-bodied men are wed in the harvest fields of the village to take care of the bountiful crops. Farmers are literally begging help, according to officials of the parment of commerce and law whose functions in part are to employment for throngs of aliens who come into this country. The officials are almost powerless because of the penniless condition of many of the emigrants. Assistant Secretary McHarg of the department of commerce and law suggests that the railroads transport aliens west at actual cost their profit would come in hauling back the tremendous product of aliens' labor.
