FEDERAL SHIP BILL AS FINALLY PASSED STANTON AND MELROSE EACH SUPPORTED THE MEASURE Stronger Document Than That Originally Introduced by Sanford—Favors Increased Powers to Interstate Commerce Commission, and Urges Relief of Shippers from Monopoly—Names of Flint and McLachlan Substituted for that of Bristow—Facts The following is a copy of Senate Joint Resolution No. 3, introduced by Senator Sanford January 8, 1909, and referred to committee on federal relations, relative to transportation rates and urging our representatives in congress to support measures granting increased powers to the interstate commerce commission. The resolution was finally passed as amended in the assembly February 18. This is the resolution which Franklin Hichborn charges Speaker Stanton and Assemblyman Melrose with opposing. The Santa Ana Register and other papers in California supporting Johnson have repeatedly printed the fact that the preamble to Sanford's resolution as originally introduced by him had been amended, and thereby materially strengthened, by the votes of these two gentlemen; and these papers, publishing the articles issued by Boss Lissner of Los Angeles, who selected Johnson as the candidate of the Lincoln-Roosevelt league for governor, have charged and continue to charge by implication that therefore both gentlemen voted terstate commerce commission to consider the protests made against the advances in freight rates at as early a date as possible and thus relieve the manufacturers, merchants and producers of our state from the increased burden placed upon them, and be it further Resolved, That we recommend the speedy establishment of the line proposed in said bills introduced by Senator Flint and Representative McLachlan at as early a date as possible in order that relief may be afforded to the manufacturers, merchants and producers of this state. Resolved, That we urge our representatives in congress to use every effort for the furthering of the measures granting increased powers to the interstate commerce commission, and particularly those measures relating to giving it the power to pass upon the reasonableness of rates prior to the taking effect of any proposed advance. Speaker Stanton and Assemblyman Melrose each voted in favor of this resolution. What becomes of the Hichborn-Register-Lissner charge that they voted against the measure? The Register declares it wishes to attack the record of neither man. Will it carry out its words, and print the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth? PROPAGATION AND PRUNING OF EUCALYPTUS The selection of seed and the pruning of young trees are issues of the eucalyptus industry which should receive the careful consideration of prospective eucalyptus planters. Tree-growing is as important as horse and cattle breeding; and in the former the same intelligence should be exercised and the same care observed as in the latter. and other papers in California supporting Johnson have repeatedly printed the fact that the preamble to Sanford's resolution as originally introduced by him had been amended, and thereby materially strengthened, by the votes of these two gentlemen; and these papers, publishing the articles issued by Boss Lissner of Los Angeles, who selected Johnson as the candidate of the Lincoln-Roosevelt league for governor, have charged and continue to charge by implication that therefore both gentlemen voted against the resolution calling on congress to establish a federal line of ships between Pacific coast ports and the Isthmus of Panama. Sanford in his resolution as originally introduced by him eulogized the Hon. Joseph K. Bristow of Kansas, who had recently reported to President Taft favoring the construction of such federal line of ships. The assembly struck out all reference to Bristow, and substituted therefor the names of Senator Flint and Representative McLachlan of California, who had introduced bills in congress appropriating $10,000,000 for the construction and maintenance of this line of federal ships. The only other amendment made in Sanford's preamble was in reference to the Pacific Mall steamship company. Sanford failed to produce evidence supporting his charges that the Pacific Mall was not seeking transcontinental business. The resolution as finally amended is stronger by far than as originally introduced. It reads: Resolution as passed, with amendments by the assembly.: Amended in assembly, February 18, 1909.—Senate joint resolution, No. 3. Introduced by Senator Sanford, January 8, 1909. Referred to Committee on Federal Relations. Senate Joint Resolution No. 3, relative to transportation rates and urging our representatives in congress to support measures granting increased powers to the interstate commerce commission. Whereas, The transcontinental lines have put into effect advances in freight rates between California points and the east and vice versa, and Whereas, These advances will place a burden upon manufacturers, merchants and producers to an extent approximating upwards of $10,000,000 a year, and Whereas, In view of the statements made by the transcontinental railroads showing increased net earnings, and PROPAGATION AND PRUNING OF EUCALYPTUS The selection of seed and the pruning of young trees are issues of the eucalyptus industry which should receive the careful consideration of prospective eucalyptus planters. Tree-growing is as important as horse and cattle breeding; and in the former the same intelligence should be exercised and the same care observed as in the latter. Seed for future planting should be selected preferably from trees growing in the district where the species is to be planted. This enables the planter to avoid mistakes in variety of seed, also in location. Trees growing in the colder districts will be likely to furnish seed that will withstand frost and cool conditions in that locality. Investigation should be made of the parentage of the tree from which seed is to be selected. It is easier to get seed from a stunted tree; but it is not always the tree most accessible or the one containing the greatest quantity of seed that is the most ideal to select from. Only seed from thrifty trees should be used, and preferably from specimen trees. A very important but greatly misunderstood feature of the industry is the pruning of trees. According to T. P. Lukens, formerly of the U.S. forest service, where there are several shoots growing, the one should be retained which appears to be the best leader. The other shoots should be clipped several inches from the top. The flow of sap will thus be checked and all the forces of the growth will go to the leader shoot. The time to clip these shoots is at a period when the eucalyptus is making rapid growth. Mr. Lukens advocates pruning second growth in the same manner and claims that by this method the trees will be marketable two years sooner. He advocates heavy planting for the forest growth retards evaporation, prevents weeds growing, keeps the ground mellow, affords greater condemnation and furnishes leaf food.

ANAHEIM GAZETTE SCHOOL TRUSTEES MEET Transact Routine Business at Regular Monthly Meeting At the regular meeting of the school trustees last week were present Trustees Clabaugh, Chambers and Schwenckert. Principal Tople reported the need of some supplies and was authorized to purchase same. The census marshal, Miss Lulu Goble, was present at the meeting and received instructions regarding her work from the board. She will begin taking the census on April 15. Under unfinished business the matter of the petition handed in at the last meeting and asking for the calling by the board of an election for voting bonds for $10,000 more for the purchase and equipment of playgrounds, was taken up. It was found that fifty-seven names contained there on were for various reasons unqualified and many others of doubtful consequence. Trustee Chambers moved that the petition be laid on the table for future action. Trustee Schwenckert seconded this motion and it carried unanimously. Bills to the amount of $1335.75 were audited and ordered paid. After discussing various school matters the board adjourned. PARENT-TEACHERS MEETING Business Session and Program Of Literary Exercises The regular monthly meeting of the parent-teacher’s association was held at the grammar school building last week. There was an exceptionally good attendance. After the routine business the following program was given: WOMAN ELIGIBLE TO BE CANDIDATE DISTRICT ATTORNEY WACHORST GIVES OFFICIAL OPINION Joint Board meeting of State Normal School Trustees to be Held in San Jose April 18—Industrial Education Will Be Made Topic of Discussion—Oil Well in Southern California Prroduces 37,000 Barrels Daily—National Guard Officers Plan to Meet at Monterey for School of Instruction—Notes of Interest from Capital Sacramento, April 12. The annual meeting of the joint board of normal school trustees will be held in San Jose April 18th. Trustees from the six normal schools—Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, Chico, Santa Barbara and San Jose—will be in attendance. The most important topic to be discussed is that of industrial education. A considerable portion of the meeting will be devoted to this subject and several educators will take part in the presentation of the various phases of industrial education in California and the relation which the normal schools bear to the forward movement along this line. Penmanship is to be given a revival also according to the announced program. In response to a question put to him by District Attorney Wachhorst of Sacramento, on request of Mrs. Minnie O’Neill, county superintendent of schools, Attorney-General Webb has given his official opinion to the effect that a woman is eligible to become a candidate under the new primarying that an early settlement of the vaccination case be given by the first district court of appeals. If the decision is against the present law, an appeal will be taken to the higher court so that a new law may be framed at time to bring it to the attention of the next legislature. The state board of health after wrestling with the question, when an egg, and others of like weight had finally drafted and adopted a common dious set of definitions and ruling to cover the egg case in all its aspects, cold storage and otherwise. took three months work and seven hundred pages of typewritten test mony and expert opinion to bring the controversy to a close. The most silent ruling is “that any egg which has been held in cold storage at a period exceeding 14 days should be garded as having been preserved by cold storage and so labeled. The full statement may be had on application to the state board. The California-Arizona pipe lime company, with headquarters in Bakersfield, filed incorporation papers this week with Secretary of State Curry with a capitalization of $25,000,000. The incorporators are E. L. Doherty and Norman Bridge of Los Angeles, S. W. Moyshead of San Francisco, P. St. Clair of Bakersfield, and W. J. Stewart, J. S. Torrance, L. W. Andrews, C. A. Canfield, T. A. O’Donnell, J. M. Danziger and Chas. Weber born of Los Angeles. At the quarterly meeting of the commanding officers of the national guard of California held in the adjutant-general’s office a number of matters relative to the good of the service and the summer maneuvers were discussed. The plans are now to hold the infantry officers school on June 12-19 at Monterey. About 100 officers of the national guard have signified PARENT-TEACHERS MEETING Business Session and Program Of Literary Exercises The regular monthly meeting of the parent-teacher's association was held at the grammar school building last week. There was an exceptionally good attendance. After the routine business the following program was given: Recitation: The Heritage, by Louis Dyer; dialogue, Tommy in Mental Arithmetic, Geogre Fiedler and Inez Elliott; recitation, Crossing the Bar, Gladys Goble; music, firth grade pupils from Miss Richardson's room; paper, Kindness to Animals, Mrs. W. C. Miller; talk, Bending the Twig, Prof. P. L. Tople. This talk was followed by a very earnest and interesting discussion. The conduct of the boys and girls in picnics was talked about and it was the opinion of all present that more parents should go with the children and not have all the responsibility rest on one chaperon. Parties from which the children do not return until one or two o'clock in the morning was another topic discussed. It was suggested that the host or hostess serve refreshments before ten o'clock and see that the guests leave before eleven. It was found that the children take an hour or more in seeing each other home. A remedy to this is for the parents to act as home-seeing escorts. Another very important and live question, this week especially, was the matter of letting school children take part in entertainments which keep them at rehearsals after school when they should be at play; out late in the evening and so excited that their minds are not on their work when they are in school. A request was made that parents consult the teacher to see if the child is strong enough in his studies before allowing him to take part in any entertainment of any kind. GERMANS LOOKING FOR TRADE Commercial Travelers from Fatherland Will Invade Northern Country Ottawa, April 8.—Canada will soon be invaded by perhaps one hundred German commercial travelers, who are being sent out to reap the harvest that will follow the removal of the German surtax by Canada. In response to a question put to him by District Attorney Wachhorst of Sacramento, on request of Mrs. Minnie O'Neill, county superintendent of schools, Attorney-General Webb has given his official opinion to the effect that a woman is eligible to become a candidate under the new primary law. State Forester G. M. Homans has issued for general distribution a preliminary list of firewardens for the coming season which may be had upon application to his office. He asks that corrections or additions be forwarded to him at once, and states that the final list will be published in May. Mr. Homans and his deputy, W. C. Hodge, have departed for Portland to attend the meeting in that city of the western forestry and conservation association, which consists of the lumbermen of Montana, Idaho, Washington, Oregon and California. Surveyor General Kingsbury has received the first clear list from the government land office, the first one to be received for eight years. This is the result of the settlement of the famous long drawn out lieu lands controversy between the state and the federal government. This first list contains the names of Freeman S.Raymond, P. J. Giraud, Harry McNamara, S. A. Fraser and John Ryan of Mono, Inyo and Kern counties and representing an acreage of 1075 acres. Many hundred names are still on the rolls waiting to be clear listed. In some cases the applications have been pending for fifteen years. J. L. Leinan, formerly connected with the United States health service in San Francisco has been appointed assistant statistician in the office of W. F. Snow, secretary of the state board of health, succeeding Miss Bristol, resigned. Under the direction of State Mineralogist Lewis E. Aubury a general reconnoissance of the oil districts of the San Joaquin valley has just been completed by Paul W. Prutzman, assistant in the field and his report filed with the state mineralogist. The state mining bureau is engaged in preparing maps of all the different oil districts in the state and is also at work on a large report in which detailed information will be given of the different districts. In the first commanding officers of the nation guard of California held in the adjutant-general's office a number of matters relative to the good of the service and the summer maneuvers were discussed. The plans are now to hold the infantry officers school on June 12-19 at Monterey. About 100 officers of the national guard have signified their intention of attending the school and four signal corps and three calvary officers will attend the U.S. government schools at Fort Riley, Kansas, and Fort Leavenworth, respectively, this summer. For use in determining percentage and ratios in the vital statistics department of the state board of health the population of California for 1913 is now estimated at 2,056,190. The estimate was reached by the federal census bureau method, with some modifications. That California can now grow a fine flax fiber as can be produced in any other country in the world, by the statement of W. J. Robinson, president of the U.S. linen flax corporation, New York, in a letter to Governor Gillett. The eastern capital says to California's governor: "The farmers of your state can be induced to prepare the land and so the seed about 90 pounds to that acre instead of half a bushel as a present, you can grow in the state of California as fine a flax as can be produced in any part of the old world."

Innes Henry, West Anaheim, CA 2-10-tf "Fired Again" Yes, we are all very familiar with that expression, but still we have no heard it often enough to learn like it, especially if it is applied to ourselves.

GERMANS LOOKING FOR TRADE Commercial Travelers from Fatherland Will Invade Northern Country Ottawa, April 8.—Canada will soon be invaded by perhaps one hundred German commercial travelers, who are being sent out to reap the harvest that will follow the removal of the German surtax by Canada. Germany makes practically everything that Canadian consumers now import from the United States, and with the advantage of more settled labor conditions and transportation facilities the manufacturers of Germany should be able to compete with the United States manufacturers. At least this seems to be the impression entertained by Canadian importing houses since the removal of the surtax handicap. The surtax was a severe blow to German exports to Canada. During the fiscal year Canada purchased goods to the amount of $6,001,406 from Germany, while in the year previous the purchases amounted to $8,250,745. The Bergman electrical works of Berlin, said to be one of the largest concerns in the electrical business in Germany, is about to establish a branch in Canada. This concern has a capitalization of $8,000,000 and employs 6000 workmen. It is the intention not only to erect electrical works here, but also to extend its business operations in Canada for the purpose of importing its various electrical goods and mechanical apparatus. This can now be done at a very low rate owing to the removal of the surtax duties. Under the direction of State Mineralogist Lewis E. Aubury a general reconnoissance of the oil districts of the San Joaquin valley has just been completed by Paul W. Prutzman, assistant in the field and his report filed with the state mineralogist. The state mining bureau is engaged in preparing maps of all the different oil districts in the state and is also at work on a large report in which detailed information will be given of the different districts. In the first report much space is devoted to the Coalinga district, and the report is both thorough and accurate. Note is made of the largest gusher ever struck in California, the report being made by the Lakeview oil company in the Midway district. At a depth of 2225 feet, the flow was encountered. It was reported that during the first week the stream of oil rose to a height of 450 feet and flowed from 40,000 to 50,000 barrels per day. Following his visit to the well on March 25 State Mineralogist Aubury reported it to be spouting from 125 to 130 feet above the surface in a strong wind and producing an estimated amount of 37,000 barrels per day with no signs of a decrease in the daily output. It is reported that the Union oil company controls the production of this well. According to reports of proposed manual training courses for the coming year, received by State Supt. Hyatt, manual training is gaining in popularity and attention in the various counties of the state. Approximately forty schools will add this subject to their curricula during the forthcoming school year. At its last meeting the state board of health adopted a resolution urg- Yes, we are all very familiar with that expression, but still we have not heard it often enough to learn what it, especially if it is applied to ourselves. Just why are we "fired"? That is very easily answered. The other fellow did the best work, and the business couldn't afford to keep both of us. Well, now that we have lost our position (for the best of us sometimes do that) what are we going to do about it? There is not very much encouragement in the thought that the conditions that caused our distress before are still in existence. Look over your list of accomplishments and see if there is not some thing that you can do a little better than the average man. If there is that is the thing for you to follow, there is not, then it is time that you were coming into your own.
