SPEAKER STANTON ON CONSERVATION ENTHUSIASTIC SUPPORTER OF POLICIES OF ROOSEVELT Stands Squarely With the People Upon All Questions Now Engaging Their Attention—Record Upon Irrigation Such as to Commend Itself to Water Users Throughout State—Improve Traffic Waterways Continued from First Page this purpose should be provided, if it does not already exist. There also should be devised some method for the definition and settlement of existing water rights, so that they may be, as soon as possible, permanently settled. The distribution of water for irrigation should be required by law to be made according to some uniform system of measurement, and severe penalties should be imposed up on the sale of water rights by water or canal companies in excess of what can be supplied. The improvement of our waterways is a matter that we must not expect to leave entirely to the federal government. Their development is absolutely necessary to the protection of our commerce, and of our farms, mines and factories, and the people should be invited to consider the issuance of state bonds for this purpose. A little more than half a century ago the Sacramento river as far up as Red Bluff, the Feather river, the Yuba and the San Joaquin, were navigable by light-draft boats. Today, nearly all the rivers of the great A little more than half a century ago the Sacramento river as far up as Red Bluff, the Feather river, the Yuba and the San Joaquin, were navigable by light-draft boats. Today, nearly all the rivers of the great central valley of California are useless for freight carrying. The restoration of these rivers as navigable waterways would be of inestimable benefit, not merely locally, but to the whole state. Almost all the rivers of central California could be made navigable for light-draft steamers and freight barges. The work of improving these waterways so as to provide water transportation will, of course, take years to complete, but it should be planned and begun as soon as possible. The federal government would contribute liberally to the expense; the state of California should do the rest. The improvement would be worth many times its cost. Hardly second in importance among our great resources are the forests. It takes one hundred years to grow a forest, and the state of California has allowed sixty years of its history to go by without forming any policy of state forestation. The national government has done a wonderful work for us in the establishment of some twenty national forests in this state, containing nearly thirty millions of acres. But many of these reserves have little lumber value. We ought to buy up lands from which the timber has been cut and maintain them as state forest reserves, as New York, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin are doing. More strict and effective forest-fire laws should be adopted. The method of taxing forest-land should be modified so as to encourage the planting of timber trees and the holding of timber lands until trees are matured. The growing of forest trees, although a slow business, has been demonstrated to be a reasonably profitable one; the state should undertake it both as a necessary measure to conservation and as an encouragement to private individuals to engage in the industry. In Europe for more than five hundred years the state forests have been maintained. A few American states have recently begun the establishment of them. California ought to lead in this move. When Capt. P. L. Jones of the medical corps of the army was first transferred from Virginia to Pasay in Luzon he was at once impressed with with the scarcity of files and with the scientific interest that might attach to conclusions satisfactory accounting for their scarcity. Upon investigation he found that in other places in the Philippines files were equally rare, and his attempt to discover the reason therefor is described in the publication known as The Military Surgeon, for the attempt was successful and worthy to be made known. The St. Patrick of the Philippines is an ant, according to Dr. Jones. It feeds on the larvae of the flies so voraciously that only a very few ever reach maturity. The suggestion which the doctor's discovery makes pertinent is, of course, entirely obvious. Ants of the species known to our little brown brothers should be brought to America and colonized in barnyards and other places where flies multiply. This is an ant that ought to be taught to follow the flag, and he ought patriotically to do as good work in this country as in the islands. A reduction in the density of the United States fly population to the same number per square mile with which the Philippines are infested would be a very great improvement. With the ant's efforts directed by science and aided by a warfare already begun with other weapons, something even better than reduction might be effected. And the extermination of the fly would mean not only a great reduction in some diseases but perhaps the complete extinction of others. STATE WARS ON FLIES Fresno Catches 100,000,000 Daily and Other Towns Are Busy to Prevent Typhoid SACRAMENTO, July 27.—Dr. W. P. Snow, secretary of the State Board of Health, returned today from a trip to Los Angeles and the south. Because of the favorable conditions for the spread of typhoid fever in the oil fields and other districts of the San Joaquin Valley, a vigorous campaign is being waged against the fly. Calculating 250 files to the cubic inch, which is a fair measurement, Health Officer Altken of Fresno estimates that the daily fly catch in that city is 100,000,000 in street cages alone. These figures are given out by Dr. Snow.

The growing of forest trees, although a slow business, has been demonstrated to be a reasonably profitable one; the state should undertake it both as a necessary measure to conservation and as an encouragement to private individuals to engage in the industry. In Europe for more than five hundred years the state forests have been maintained. A few American states have recently begun the establishment of them. California ought to lead in this movement. A good nucleus for the creation of state forests can probably be found in the timber lands that the state now owns or is entitled to. These lands should be alienated, if at all, only under such restrictions as would insure the proper use, preservation and replanting of the trees. These lands might be made an object lesson for the proper and profitable treatment of timber lands. It is not possible for the state to do very much for the conservation of its minerals. The products of the mine can be neither perpetuated nor replenished. Unlike water and timber and soil, they must finally be exhausted. The most the state can do for the benefit of the mining industry is to maintain an efficient bureau of mineralogy, and to check and restrain, as far as practicable, wasteful and injurious methods of mining. The prosperity of the people of California is built upon, and can only be maintained by conservation of the natural material resources of the state. Unless wise methods of protection and preservation are adopted and pursued, this material basis will be destroyed and prosperity will perish with it. Our people should give immediate and continuous attention Because of the favorable conditions for the spread of typhoid fever in the oil fields and other districts of the San Joaquin Valley, a vigorous campaign is being waged against the fly. Calculating 250 flies to the cubic inch, which is a fair measurement, Health Officer Aitken of Fresno estimates that the daily fly catch in that city is 100,000,000 in street cages alone. These figures are given out by Dr. Snow. When the work began some weeks ago an average of 400,000,000 flies a day was taken. Hanford is catching 4,000,000 flies a day in street cages. Maricopa and Taft particularly and also Coalinga are in favorable conditions for an outbreak of typhoid according to Dr. Snow, but the vigorous health campaigns they are waging may prevent the epidemic. LIKE FATHER, LIKE SON Of course, it is not always "like father like son," but we have contended from the outset that the yellowness of the father might crop out any time in the son. A criminal lawyer who will take a large fee to defend a bank defaulter from the consequences of his crime—a crime that caused many innocent persons to suffer—is not wholly above reproach. Instead of his deserts, this precious client escaped with a minimum sentence, and it was Hiram Johnson's cajolery of the jury and his specious arguments that were responsible for this miscarriage of justice. For the sins of the railroad political machine let the guilty ones suffer, but their accuser must come into court with clean hands.—Graphic. ANAHEIM GAZETTE PRIZE CONTEST FOR NAME A $25 Prize to Be Awarded for the Best Name E. L. Olmstead, president of the Home Investment company of Anaheim, who has in charge the reorganization of that company, announces in the advertising columns of this paper an offer of a $25 prize to the person, resident of Orange county, who suggests the best name for the reorganized company. The rules of the contest are very simple, the replies must be in the Anaheim office not later than August 10, 1910, and the announcement will be made of the name of the winner of the prize during the week following. In order to have an equal chance of winning in the contest it is necessary that the names submitted should be in some measure descriptive of the business the new company will transact and the representatives of the company at any of its offices in Anaheim, Fullerton, Santa Ana or Orange will be glad to furnish the public all the information desired upon application. A letter sent to E. L. Olmstead, box 93, Anaheim, Cal., is the best way in which to secure this information. Under the rules no employee of the Home Investment Co., nor any immediate member of an employee's family will be permitted to compete, thus preventing any unfair advantage being taken by those most familiar with the plans and workings of the company. The answers in the competition should be addressed to the Prize Contest Department, Home Investment Co., Anaheim, Cal. The fact that the first allotment of 3,0000 shares has already been subscribed and a good portion of the second allotment of 10,000 things which has been the prime factor in American patriotism. The people have been so lectured, badgered, and hectored by muckrakers, so overimpressed with the demoralizing idea that dishonesty is universal, that they find it difficult to sustain that confidence in the worthiness of American life and in the stability of American institutions, which has been so powerful a support of representative government. It is indeed time to bid malcontents, detractors, destroyers of patriotic faith, men of the Pinchot and Johnson type, to cease their revilings, to leave the people free to pursue nor mal courses of judgment in political and in other spheres.—Argonaut: G. PINCHOT A DISTURBER Comes Seeking Destruction of the Republican Party should proceed to noisminess into the California campaign serves one useful purpose, namely, that of clarifying and defining an issue which hitherto our local "insurgents" have sought to dodge. Mr. Pinchot puts it plainly enough. "The insurgent movement," he said in his speech in San Francisco Tuesday night, "stretches from sea to sea. I truly believe that the swing of it is going to carry into the governor's chair Hiram W. Johnson.. We are in a great fight, that is not limited to any State or any city or to any kind of political belief. We are in a fight which cuts through all political subdivisions." The meaning of this is clear enough. Mr. Pinchot does not come as a Republican or with any thought of sustaining the efficiency or the honor of the Republican party. He comes in promotion of a movement "which cuts through all political subdivisions." He comes to help assault against the Republican party, aimed at its life, seeking its destruction. He asks support for Hiram Johnson as a man likewise enlisted in this movement—a movement which cuts through and tends to the disintegration of Republicanism in California and elsewhere. But this statement was hardly needed to define Mr. Pinchot's position. It had already been sufficiently marked by his course as an official in the Department of Agriculture. Only a few months back, while holding the post of Chief Forester, and therefore under every obligation to sustain the policies of the administration or get out of it, he secretly set himself against President Taft, even going UNIVERSITY FARM SCHOOL Enlargement of Courses of Added Advantage to Students The enlargement of courses of instruction for 1910-11 at the University Farm School at Davis has included the appointment of two new instructors who will enter upon the duties in September. Mr. Charles M. Titus is to teach mathematics, agricultural physics, and surveying. He is a mature man, and has had a wide experience in teaching and in practical field work. He was graduated from the North Indiana Normal school in 1893, and taught in the Crookston, Minnesota, Normal school, 1893-94; in Grand Forks College, 1894-95; and in the North Indiana Normal school, 1895-98. From 1900 to 1903 he was assistant engineer with the Santa Fe railway company. In 1904 he was gra and tends to the disintegration of Republicanism in California and elsewhere. But this statement was hardly needed to define Mr. Pinchot's position. It had already been sufficiently marked by his course as an official in the Department of Agriculture. Only a few months back, while holding the post of Chief Forester, and therefore under every obligation to sustain the policies of the administration or get out of it, he secretly set himself against President Taft, even going so far as to attempt to discredit his course through an open letter which he adroitly caused to be read in the United States Senate. It was a piece of unrelieved arrogance, a gross impertinence, a damnable disloyalty. The indignation of the President burst out in a stinging rebuke still fresh in the public mind. Mr. Pinchot, forced into the open by the President's righteous severity, now stands a vindictive enemy of the administration, as a man seeking to discredit the head of the government and the head of the Republican party, one giving his energies to a movement which "cuts through all political subdivisions"—in other words, aims at the destruction of the Republican party. It is this man who comes to California to counsel the election of Mr. Johnson to the governorship. In the course of his remarks on Tuesday night Mr. Pinchot uttered one of those sentimental half truths which "ring" so well in the saying an which are so utterly meaningless under analysis. "I think," he said, "it is better to be a good citizen than to be a good Republican." Now, let us ask what are the aims of good citizenship? If integrity of the State government be one of them, surely the Republican party may demand approval, for it has given California a government free from extravagance, free from legislative favoritism. That we have no State scandals, that we have no State debt—this is a record which justifies and which should commend the Republican party to every good citiezn. Again, if it is the aim of good citizenship to promote the material welfare of California, the Republican party may confidently claim approval. Under Republican policies, domestic and foreign, we have peace and security with all their blessings, we have a sustained commerce, we have respect at home and abroad. In California we have protection for those interests with which the welfare of the State is especially bound up. Is it not an obligation of good citizenship?

Titus is to teach mathematics, agricultural physics, and surveying. He is a mature man, and has had a wide experience in teaching and in practical field work. He was graduated from the North Indiana Normal school in 1893, and taught in the Crookston, Minnesota, Normal school, 1893-94; in Grand Forks College, 1894-95; and in the North Indiana Normal school, 1895-98. From 1900 to 1903 he was assistant engineer with the Santa Fe railway company. In 1904 he was graduated from Stanford University, and received the A.M. degree from that institution in 1906. During 1904-06 he taught in Manzanita Hall, Palo Alto, and since that time has been instructor in mathematics in St. Mathews school. He brings to his new work in the Farm School a broad experience in teaching and a thorough knowledge of the genus boy. During the present vacation he is in Arizona with the Santa Fe company. Mr. Ross C. Ingrim is to be instructor in shop work, with especial reference to farm carpentry and blacksmithing. He is a native of Colusa county and in 1899 finished the four-year course at the California school of Mechanics Arts in San Francisco. For six years past he has taught the blacksmithing in the Kamahamaha school in Honolulu, and was at the same time chief mechanic for the institution. Mr. Ingrim is now on the farm looking after many items of construction and preparing his equipment for the coming year. A new shop is soon to be constructed and will be equipped for both carpentry and blacksmithing. This shop work ordinarily is given during the first year of the three years course of the Farm School. Mr. Pinchot, taking his cue from Candidate Johnson, "scores," "flays," "denounces." Men and brethren of California, we have had too much of this sort of thing here and throughout the country. There have been so many scorings, and flayings, and denouncings, as to have weakened that faith in the ultimate integrity of Page Three Why Don’t You Try the New Lumber Yard A complete line of Building Materials.
