BOARDS OF EDUCATION Will Read With Interest Letter from Supt. Hyatt Office Superintendent Public Instruction, Sacramento. July 29th, 1909. To All California Boards of Education, School Superintendents, and Book Dealers. Gentlemen: For your information, I will state that the new Advanced Geography will be in print for sale about Aug. 15. As soon as the price of the new Advanced Geography is determined, which will be in a few days prior to that date, full information as to the cost of the new Advanced Geography, f.o.b. at Sacramento, by mail, and to pupils from book dealers, will be sent immediately to you. At the same time a new order blank will be sent to dealers, so that they may place their orders upon its receipt. Orders for the new Advanced Geography should not be sent in prior to that time, nor on the blanks now in use. Please note that the use of the new advanced geography in the public schools of the State will not be mandatory until the fall of 1910, except in case County Boards of Education adopt and require its use before that date. In fact, a number of County Boards of Education already are directing that the new Advanced Geography be used by beginning classes, but are not requiring classes already provided with the former book to purchase the new one. Book dealers should confer with their County Superintendents before ordering the new Advanced Geography. The edition of the present Grammar School History is exhausted, owing to an unusual and unexpected demand. The printer is rushing an edition of the New Brief History. Chaser this time at £1, as befitted its increased violence. Boniface again said nothing. To him next day entered Mr. Kipling, briskly wrathful. "Why didn't I answer your letters, sir? Why, I was hoping you'd send me a fresh one every day. They pay a deal better than bus driving!"—Boston Times. Secretary Bacon's Aid. John Callan O'Laughlin, appointed assistant secretary of state to succeed Robert Bacon, now chief of the department, has been engaged in newspaper work, chiefly in Washington, for more than fifteen years. He has devoted much of his time to diplomatic affairs and is considered well equipped for the position. The new assistant secretary of state is about thirty-five years of age and has resided for short periods in Paris, London, Berlin and St. Petersburg. He also has made special investigations in Venezuela and Santo Domingo and was secretary to the United States commission to the Tokyo international exposition. During the Russo-Japanese war he served as a correspondent from the front, being with the year's forces for some time and in WARSHIPS.

Although the makeup of President Taft's cabinet will not be definitely known until a few days before his inauguration, the tentative slates contain the name of Richard Achilles Ballinger of Seattle for the interior portfolio. Mr. Ballinger is well known at the capital, having served as commissioner of the general land office. He was appointed early in 1907 at the request of Secretary of the Interior Garfield and resigned a year later because of press of personal affairs. The secretary and Mr. Ballinger were classmates at Williams college, and when Garfield was named secretary of the interior he expressed a desire that Ballinger should be appointed commissioner of the general land office. When the position was tendered him Mr. Ballinger declined on account GOT HIS MAN Detective Bowlen of Cincinnati a well-known eastern Hawkshaw, was in town this week, a guest of his old-time friend John Resh. He came after a noted fugitive, placed him under arrest, and will soon be on his way east with him. TRIBESMEN IN NIGHT BATTLE Timely Reinforcements Save Spanish Soldiers at Work on Fort Madrid, Aug. 3.—An official communication from Melilla, dated Aug. 3, 10 a.m., says: "Last night from 11:30 o'clock to midnight strong forces of Moors attacked a block house in course of construction. Vigorous fusillades were exchanged until 3:15, when six companies relieved the Spanish and the Moors were put to flight. "During the engagement the Moors tore up 150 yards of the railway. The Spanish losses included the officer commanding the detachment and forty wounded. We retained the positon. The losses of the enemy must have been heavy, but owing to their numerical superiority they were able to carry off their killed and wounded." Pointed Paragraphs Kissing breeds microbes and matrimony.

BALLINGER of his business interests, but under pressure at last consented. It was of Mr. Ballinger that the president said he had secured a $20,000 man for a $5,000 salary. During his year of service he reorganized the land office from top to bottom and placed it on an efficient working basis. Richard A. Ballinger is a native of Illinois, a lawyer and is fifty-one years old. Since making his home in the state of Washington he has served as judge of the superior court of the state and also one term as mayor of Seattle. Kipling and the Bus Owner. Annoyed by the injury done to one of his trees by the driver of the local bus, Mr. Kipling once wrote a vigorous letter of complaint to the bus owner, who is also a landlord of an inn. The landlord laid the letter before the select company of the bar parlor, who advised calm indifference; also a Croesus among them offered 10 shillings in cash for the autograph letter. Both advice and cash were accepted. A second and stronger letter followed, and this also found a pur- Pointed Paragraphs Kissing breeds microbes and matrimony.

ANAHEIM GAZETTE WARSHIPS TO USE OIL That oil for fuel will be used in the United States navy in the future in large quantities on warships is indicated by an Associated Press dispatch from Washington, announcing that oil burning stations are to be established at Honolulu, San Juan, Guantanamo and in the Philippines. This announcement comes in connection with the statement that there will be no further improvements in the coaling station at San Diego, but that $200,000 will be expended for a coaling station at California City Point, a few miles out from San Francisco. The coaling station improvements at San Diego cost $240,000 consisting of a coaling wharf with necessary adjuncts. The important part of the announcement to California, however, is that with reference to oil, for it means an additional market for California petroleum. Experiments were made a few months ago on this coast by the monitor Cheyenne to determine the value of oil as fuel for the navy, but no public statement concerning the conclusions has been made by the navy department. That oil stations are to be established abroad indicates, however, that the experiment has convinced naval authorities that oil is the fuel to use, at least to a great extent. SANTA ANA A number of documents were recorded today whereby the title of some thirty-four lots in Santa Ana Acres near the western edge of the city passes to Robert McFadden. The property has been held by the Abtie Title Guaranty Co. in trust. MOORE'S LAST DAY Is Succeeded as Supervisor by T. B. Talbert Tuesday was Supervisor George W. Moore's last day in office. His resignation was presented several weeks ago and was accepted, to go into effect on close of that day. Since January, 1907, he has represented the Second district. The reason for Moore's resignation was that he might devote his entire time to the management of the Orange County Celery Growers' association. Since the last two years and a half Moore has been both supervisor and manager of the association. The association offered him more money than he has been making in both offices if he would quit the county job and put in all his time on association work. Moore agreed to the arrangement, and his withdrawal from the board of supervisors is the result. Moore put his O.K. on the month's bills as his last official act, leaving a clean slate for his successor. Moore made an exceptionally good supervisor, and his constituents and colleagues are sorry to see him leave the board. T. B. Talbert of Huntington Beach will be appointed by Governor Gillett to fill the vacancy occasioned by Moore's resignation. It is expected that the appointment will be made this week, the governor having been notified of the impending vacancy. MURRAY AND MACK Deeply Interested. The play was one of Shakespeare's tragedies. Mrs. Simmons and her little boy, having been unable to secure seats in the parquet, were well located in the front row of the first balcony, where they could see better and hear almost as well as if they had been farther forward on the main floor. Mrs. Simmons was agreeably surprised at the interest that Bobby appeared to take in the somber drama. He sat leaning forward, with his elbows on the cushioned railing in front of him, resting his head on his hands, deeply absorbed. As the curtain went down on the first act he straightened up. "Well, dear," how do you like Shakespeare?" asked his mother. "Are you enjoying the play?" "Mamma," said Bobby with the air of one who has made a great discovery, "there are sixty-nine men here that have got bald spots on top of their heads! I've counted 'em five times!" Swallowing a Reindeer. "Doctor, doctor! I'm swallowed a reindeer!" Choking violently and literally black in the face, a negro boy rushed into the office of a throat specialist. His small woolly head jerked frantically, and his eyes rolled in anguish. It was very evident that some irritating substance had lodged in his throat. The specialist summoned his assistant. "Dr. Blank, here is a young man who says he has swallowed a reindeer." "Nawsur," sputtered the patient, "it weren't a whole reindeer. It were Jess his nake and his horns." The physicians removed the offending object. With a long sigh of relief the picka-ninny opened his eyes. His glance rested on the instrument table. "Yassur, dat's de reindeer." It was an Elks button.—Los Angeles Times. The Very Worst. Clara (with emotion)—George, are you sure you will always love me? George (fervently)—While life lasts my own. Clara (suppressing a tear)—George, trials and tribulations should come. SANTA ANA A number of documents were recorded today whereby the title of some thirty-four lots in Santa Ana Acres near the western edge of the city passes to Robert McFadden. The property has been held by the Abstract & Title Guaranty Co. in trust, and it has generally been understood that McFadden was interested in the property. Yesterday the abstract company deeded the lots, which contain five acres each, to McFadden. A mortgage was given to this same property to the German American Savings Bank of Los Angeles to cover a $24,000 note, three years, at ten per cent. The mortgagers are Robert McFadden of Santa Ana, C. L. Flack of Stockton and M. E. Miller of Los Angeles. Assignments of mortgages from the Abstract & Title Guaranty Co. to the Los Angeles bank through McFadden were made for Notaro Matsumoto $1592.50; Yasujiro Suzuki, $4,225; Sai Fukuda, $3425. 2000 BUILDINGS IN RUINS Scores of Structures That Withstood Previous Shocks in Mexico Razed Mexico City, Aug. 3.—The earthquake damage in this city is much greater than was at first thought. The building inspectors have already made reports of damage to more than two thousand buildings, and yet a considerable part of the city has not been inspected. Scores of buildings will have to be torn down. Walls that had stood many previous earthquakes were razed by the recent seismic disturbances. It is stated by scientists that it was the up and down movement that caused most of the ruin of buildings. Many of the public schools are pronounced unsafe and can no longer be used. The new postoffice building and the National Theatre building, both of which are built of structural steel, suffered no damage as far as can be discovered. It is now stated that the great cathedral and the National Palace, both of which front on the Zocall plaza, are not damaged beyond repair. Delayed dispatches from remote points in the state of Oaxaca say that the building did great damage all along. T. B. Talbert of Huntington Beach will be appointed by Governor Gillett to fill the vacancy occasioned by Moore’s resignation. It is expected that the appointment will be made this week, the governor having been notified of the impending vacancy. MURRAY AND MACK Comedians Come to Grief in Northern Citrus Belt Those who laughed at the antics of the Murray & Mack show here recently will be interested in the following dispatch from Oakland: Oakland, July 27.—Walter M. Leslie, an actor with the Murray & Mack company, passed two fretful hours today in the city jail. E. P. Foote, manager of the Grand opera house at Los Angeles, received back from Leslie’s wife $500 invested in the venture. The chorus girls are stranded in San Francisco, while the managers seek transportation to Portland. Such is the plight of the backers and the mummers in the “Night on Broadway” company, as related at the police station this afternoon while adjusting trouble with Leslie and Mrs. Leslie. It seems that the troupe was started in Los Angeles. Foote, Ollie Mack and Leslie were to contribute $500 each, and Leslie, the actor, was to be the treasurer. Instead of depositing his $500, Leslie is said to have drawn out $442 of Foote’s money and brought his wife and himself along with the troupe. “A Night on Broadway” was played in Oakland, then in San Francisco, where it stranded. Leslie, it is alleged, wrote to Los Angeles asking for the books of the company, with instructions not to apprise Foote. Foote was informed and came posthaste to Oakland. That started the troubles of today, which were augmented by word that the chorus girls in San Francisco were trying to drag the object. With a long sigh of relief the picka-niny opened his eyes. His glance rested on the instrument table. “Yassur, dat’s de reindeer.” It was an Elks button—Los Angeles Times. The Very Worst. Clara (with emotion)—George, are you sure you will always love me? George (fervently)—While life lasts my own. Clara (suppressing a tear)—George, trials and tribulations should come. George (amazed)—My heart is your alone, my love, and always will be. Clara (sobbing)—George, are you sure, perfectly sure, that nothing—nothing at all—could cool your affection? George (thoroughly alarmed)—Mr. gracious! What’s happened? Has your father failed? Clara (hysterically) — Worse, far worse! George (much relieved)—Tell me all my angel. I can bear it. Clara (with a heroic effort)—George I’ve-Ive got a—a boil coming—coming on my nose—London Tit-Bits. A Polished Rascal. Mrs. Hansom—I understand, sir, that you have secretly been making love to my daughter, and I must forbid an acquaintance begun in that way. You should have seen me first. Shrewd Sultor—Madam, had I see you first I should have forgotten you daughter and fallen in love with you. Mrs. Hansom—Um! The informality of the proceedings was all I objected to. Come with me, and I will introduce you to my husband. Nelson River. The Nelson river may be described as one of the greatest rivers of the world as regards the actual volume of water discharged into the Hudson basin. Its total length is approximately 4 miles, and its drainage area is tremendous. Its tributaries cover the whole of Manitoba, the greater portion of Alberta, Saskatchewan, North Dakota and Ontario west of the great lakes, where they also enter Montana and Minnesota.

The new postoffice building and the National Theatre building, both of which are built of structural steel, suffered no damage as far as can be discovered. It is now stated that the great cathedral and the National Palace, both of which front on the Zocall plaza, are not damaged beyond repair. Delayed dispatches from remote points in the state of Oaxaca say that the trembling did great damage all along the coast of the Pacific ocean and for a hundred miles into the interior. Severe shocks were felt upon the Isthmus of Tehauntepec and along the Pan-American railway all the way to Gautemala. Acapulco, Aug. 3.—The earthquake shocks continue and all buildings that remain standing are untenantable. A heavy rain set in during the night and many are suffering for want of shelter. The tents and temporary shacks in which the people are living are miserably inadequate. The local authorities have sworn in citizens as special policemen because the force of gendarmes is wholly insufficient. Houses and stores have been looted. Food, clothing and medicine are urgently needed. It is stated at the War Department that no request for federal aid had been received and it seems relief measures are being held up through tap. The hardened cynic delights in sitting upon soft people. AMERICAN SAVIOR OF ANAH Start an account today— There may be a hole in your pocket Thursday, August 5 The Canning Season is now here.
