SPECIAL BOOTH AT FAIR Panama-Pacific Exposition to Be Boosted at Sacramento The 6th of September has been named "Panama-Pacific Day" by the California State Fair promoters and on that date Sacramento, the State fair site, will be the scene of much lively "boosting." Some of the biggest attractions of the week will be scheduled for that day. Special railroad rates have been granted and this with the dry farming and irrigation exhibits, is expected to attract a host of visitors from neighboring states. The Panama-Pacific Exposition booth will be the distribution point for exposition novelties and literature, and the 1915 World's Fair will be thus brought to the personal attention of thousands in this way. The celebration of the Panama canal is an epoch-making event and the entire west should line up to support San Francisco in her effort to secure federal recognition of her just claim as the proper site for holding the proposed celebration of the completion of the Panama canal. San Francisco is within striking distance of the $7,500,000 required to be raised before she is eligible as an exposition location. Every dollar of the exposition stock subscribed has been by popular subscription, and as the plan to bond the municipality of San Francisco for an additional $5,000,000 for exposition purposes is yet to be heard from San Francisco will have no trouble in securing the necessary funds. The weather, in these summer days, usurps a good part of the attention of those who live east of the Great... The weather, in these summer days, usurps a good part of the attention of those who live east of the Great Divide. It is something unescapable, harassing, poignant enough to force itself even into the day's news. Thousands scurry away to avoid the particular brand which their habitat regularly inflicts. There are few places where the stories of their quaint struggles read more curiously than in San Francisco. There it is cooler, you might say, in hot weather than it is in cold. At least the uniform lack of oppressive heat seems more extraordinary when all the rest of the country is baking. People wear overcoats in San Francisco these July evenings and sit before wood fires. Yet so kind is their climate's coolness that through the open library windows grand La France roses nod on their six-foot stalks in the garden outside, geraniums flame along the foundations of houses clear up to the window ledges, and the air is filled with the scent of heliotrope growing almost into bushes. Shreds of fog—carrying all the tang and chill of the open sea—float down the brilliant streets at night and add peculiar to blazing restaurants and theaters, which, in wilted neighborhoods farther east, have lost their power of invitation. The city that was is gone forever, but the city that is hurries on to new enchantments. The Orient is just below the horizon; it is still the meeting-place of East and West. On the brown hillsides across the bay, new suburbs, built with the winsome grace which our architects have only learned in the past generation, spring up overnight—dwellings, half houses, half bungalows; solid, yet suggesting the airy out-of-doorness of the Japanese. America and Italy seem to meet down the lovely bay, with its islands, its yellow and olive hillsides, mountains, and blue sea. Here, in a land of winter resorts, is the coolest summer city of them all. They used to have prizefights in San Francisco, but such artistic allurements must be surrendered until at least the coming exposition is assured, or the rest of the country THOUGHTS FOR THE THOUGHTFUL When dressing your chickens rub them with a little soda after singing; it will make quick work of the form stocks of seed whose varietal characteristics adapt them to distinct local conditions and market requirements. Another consideration is the fact that the growing of seed crops of these vegetables can be undertaken without any radical change in farm practice or material increase in farm equipment. These conditions make this industry well worth the attention of farmers who are located where soil and climatic conditions are favorable for the best development of such seeds. However, the raising of these vegetables for seed crops is not recommended for all circumstances, even when soil and climate are suitable. The farmer who contemplates undertaking seed crop farming, will do well to consider thoroughly the many elements which enter into profits. The seedsmen are often able to place contracts for growing seed at very low prices—even lower than that at which grain of the species can be sold on the market. Such a condition might be due to any of several causes, but usually rests on an over supply or a demand for an inferior product. The general tendency now however, is decidedly in the other direction, and both seed dealers and seed growers can do much by co-operation to further this tendency. The dealer should not buy by sample, no matter how good the samples may be, but should endeavor to limit his supply to seed which he knows was grown from pure and true stock seed and, as far as possible, to that which was subject while growing to his own inspection. Knowledge, experience, and care, on the part of the grower will also contribute much to a higher standard,and consequently to higher prices and a better market condition generally. In response to a demand for greater knowledge of the cultural methods which are best adapted to seedcrop growing for the vegetables mentioned like U.S. Department of Agriculture has just issued a new publication, Bulletin 184 of the Bureau of Plant Industry, under the title "The Production of Vegetable Seeds: Sweet Corn, Garden Peas, and Beans." This publication discusses this whole subject very thoroughly and gives instructions for securing crops of seed for these different species. During 1900 made field and many kinds of localities where in course of cities have shown the quality of different crete. Some run-of-bank sites best for making this contenttained by prairies.

The inventor claims it will be the most powerful instrument of warfare yet devised. The gun is noiseless and neither compressed air, powder, explosive or chemical is employed to expel the bullets. The auto-machine gun company, of which Bangerter is president, has taken over the gun and when it is perfected will sell it. To the reporters who were present at today's demonstration, Mr. Bangerter's representative explained that several countries had made big offers for the patent, and that a deal was on with the United States government. He thought that the United States would give $25,000,000 for the patent and said that the American government had asked the inventor not to patent his gun until the deal has been closed. The inventor would not show his machine or explain its mechanism; but he says his gun will shoot 20,000 rounds per minute. THOUGHTS FOR THE THOUGHT-FUL When dressing your chickens rub them with a little soda after singing; it will make quick work of the pinfeathers, otherwise so troublesome. If you are annoyed by the children's shoesaces coming untied try tearing them in a bowknot and then tying the bow ends together again. This insures against the flowing shoe strings. Has some one inadvertently set a glass of water on your polished table which resulted in a round, white etain? If so, life may be made as worth living again by the application of camphor to the discolored ring. A second treatment is sometimes necessary. Some women who are patterns of economy of ways and means are prodigal in the expenditure of physical strength. It is well to have a care. "Willful waste makes woeful want," in things besides dollars and cents. Cultivate deliberateness. Practice going about on a particularly busy day slowly, as if the thing in hand were the only thing to be done. Hurry causes us to lose poise, and hence power. We are not really going any faster when the nerves are in a quiver and the mind runs on ahead. Stop hurrying; you will make the greater speed.

ANAHEIM GAZETTE SAND AND GRAVEL VALUES Production of These Commodities Referred to in Government Report More than $18,000,000 worth of sand and gravel was dug out for sale in the United States in 1909, according to a report just issued by the Geological Survey. This value exceeded by over $4,700,000 the value of the product in 1908. The production in 1908 was 37,216,044 short tons; that of 1909 was 58,027,025 short tons. The values for the two years were $13,70,032 and $18,040,536. This notable increase in production is due in great part to the more extensive use of sand and gravel in concrete construction work, but larger quantities were also used as railroad ballast and filling. There was also a considerable increase in the use of molding sand. The production of glas sand in 1909 was but little more than that in 1908. The average value of building sand during the year was about 31 cents a short ton; the average value of gravel was 25 cents. Much sand is sold by the cubic yard, which weighs from 2300 to 3000 pounds. During 1909 the Geological Survey made field and laboratory studies of many kinds of sands and gravels in localities where federal buildings were in course of construction. These studies have shown great differences in the quality of sand and gravel used at different places for making concrete. Some contractors contend that run-of-bank sand and gravel is the best for making cement concrete, but this contention is generally not sustained by practical trials and experi- CHUL WHEAT NEW VARIETY Doing Well In San Joaquin Valley and Other Points Up State This promising variety of wheat, which has proven so successful at the University Farm, Davis, is highly spoken of in San Joaquin Valley. H. F. Blanchard, representing the United States Department of Agriculture, has this to say of it: "In the fall of 1905, I received from the Office of Grain Investigations a small lot of Chul wheat for experimental purposes in our co-operation work. Since then this variety has been grown at the several grain experiment stations in the state, where the results obtained are very favorable. At Modesto and Ceres we have grown White Australian alongside of Chul wheat with the following results for three years: Bushels per Acre 1907 1908 1909 Chul .....16.6 63.5 53.3 Australian .....12.3 51.3 44.0 "Chul produces from four to nine bushels more to the acre of a grain that makes more flour to the hundred pounds than Australian or Club, and the flour produced makes bread equal to that made from Australian flour and better than tht made from Club flour. The Oakdale milling company of Oakdale has made flour from Chul wheat, and a test indicates nearly twice as much wet gluten as from ordinary wheat grown in California. All tests show the Chul flour to be of excellent strength and quality." Chul wheat is a vigorous, upright grower. It may be seeded in November or as late as the fall part of Feb- MR. HUNTINGTON LOOKS IN And Revives Rumors of Electric Railway Building The visit to Santa Ana on Wednesday day of H. E. Huntington and other officials of the Pacific Electric Company, has given rise to all sorts of rumors among which is one to the effect that a line will be built from here to Anaheim in the near future, and this rumor seems to have some fondation. Certain it is that something is doing in the survey of routes for connecting to Anaheim, for a force surveyors is said to have been working recently running a line from Artesia to Anaheim. But it has been decided, according to the rumor, that the best and most profitable way of connecting Anaheim and the northern end of the county with the county seat, would be the extension of the line direct from the city. Two routes are proposed, according to the Santa Ana Blade, and in the consideration of these it appears that Orange is not to be on the map, so far as the Pacific Electric Company is concerned. Which ever of the routes is selected, Orange will be left a considerable distance from the tracks. One is proposed to run almost on an air line from this city, leaving Orange to the east, and the other is to run on a line to the east of Orange. The ultimate intention is to connect with the La Habra line, which, it is said, is certain to continue on to Riverside, thus giving this section an almost direct line to Riverside and other interior towns. Other officials who accompany Mr. Huntington were J. McMillan, ge- During 1909 the Geological Survey made field and laboratory studies of many kinds of sands and gravels in localities where federal buildings were in course of construction. These studies have shown great differences in the quality of sand and gravel used at different places for making concrete. Some contractors contend that run-of-bank sand and gravel is the best for making cement concrete, but this contention is generally not sustained by practical trials and experiments. The most desirable material is that which is free from clay, loam, or dust. Mica also is objectionable, if present in large quantity, as well as pyrite or limonite. A coating of dust on gravel prevents its proper contact with cement, and the pebbles are therefore easily broken out of the concrete. During recent years, particularly in the large building centers, there has been a greater general appreciation of the importance of using proper sand and gravel in cement concrete, so that leading architects and builders are requiring sound, clean, washed material. The Survey's report was prepared by E. F. Burchard and is entitled "The production of glass sand, other sand, and gravel in 1909." It forms an advance chapter of the volume "Mineral resources of the United States, calendar year 1909," and may be obtained free of charge by applying to the Director of the Geological Survey at Washington. ENORMOUS RAILROAD EARNINGS Colossal Amounts Earned by American Roads Yearly In an interesting article on the work connected with the building of Pennsylvania railroad's new station in New York, C. M. Keyes says: "The fulfillment of this dream of a passenger station in the heart of the Manhattan ends the biggest building campaign ever undertaken by any American railroad. It is not an isolated venture made for selfglory or to fulfill a mad ambition. It simply caps twelve years of the hardest possible railroad work, made necessary by the growth of the United States as a freight producing and forwarding nation. In the ten years that ended in December, 1909, this one railroad poured into its service the sum of nearly $500,000,000. It could have built a sea level canal at Panama at much less cost. From Chicago westward it could have pushed through three transports than Australian or Club, and the flour produced makes bread equal to that made from Australian flour and better than tht made from Club flour. The Oakdale milling company of Oakdale has made flour from Chul wheat, and a test indicates nearly twice as much wet gluten as from ordinary wheat grown in California. All tests show the Chul flour to be of excellent strength and quality. "Chul wheat is a vigorous, upright grower. It may be seeded in November or as late as the fall part of February and produce a good crop. The earlier seeding will usually give the best yield. It does not require as long a growing season as theA ustrallian and Club varieties, and will mature with less rainfall than the commonly grown varieties. It does not shatter." A limited amount of Chul seed may be obtained by mainkg application to the College of Agriculture, Berkeley. SANTA ANA His clothing caught in a revolving shaft, James M. Miller received fatal injuries on Thursday morning. He was placing a belt on a pulley in the lime kiln room of the Southern California Sugar Company plant, when he was jerked from his feet and whirled three times around a shaft. Striped of his clothing, he was flung 20 feet through the air. He was caught in the arms of a fellow-employee, J. A. Lerfcomb, and his fall broken. He was removed to the Santa Ana hospital, where he died a few hours later. He leaves a widow and child. Judge West on Friday ordered that the superior court case of the Santa Ana River Development company and others against James Long and others be transferred to Los Angeles for trial. His ruling establishes that Los Angeles is "the nearest and most accessible county seat" in reference to Santa Ana. The litigants in the case stipulated that there should be a change of venue, Judge West being disqualified, he being a stockholder in one of the plaintiff irrigation corporations. The defendants wanted to go to Riverside for trial. The plaintiffs favored Los Angeles, and argued that under the law the case must be sent to the "nearest and most accessible county seat." The action was brought by Orange county irrigation interests to compel a long list of defendants to quit using water on lands that the plaintiffs declare are non-riparian, which lands lie in Riverside county. According to the report of County officials who accompany Mr. Huntington were J. McMillan, general manager; G. E. Pillsbury, chief engineer; W. F. Towne, gen. freight agent; S. H. Anderson, electrical engineer; Frank Van Vranken, superintendent of the southern division, and Roadmaster Hughes of the southern division. HERE'S A CHANCE FOR YOU Uncle Sam Wants Farmers for Irrigation Projects "Wanted—Five Hundred Farmers." This is the notice that Uncle Sam has hung outside the official door in Washington. Any man who wants to take up practical farming and answers the advertisement may have the land free. The government now has about five hundred farms awaiting settlement under the various irrigation projects in the Northwest. These farmers vary in size from twenty to eight acres of irrigable land, depending upon location. In many sections tract of grazing land has been included in the farm unit, bringing the total up to 160 acres. There is no drawing or any element of chance in applying for any of these farms. It is only necessary to make a homestead entry at the land office. The farms are for bona fides homeseekers, who are entitled to make a homestead entry, the only charges besides a land office fee for filling, being the actual cost of getting water to the land. Payments may be made in ten annual installments, without interest. The official circulation says: "Owing to the rapidly diminishing area of unoccupied public domain, opportunities to secure desirable farmland are becoming rarer each year and it is doubtful whether the present favorable conditions will ever occur again." "The farms now awaiting settlement include a wide variety of soils and climate. If you desire to engage in general farming, or to specialize in the growing of apples, alfalfa, sugar beets, garden tricolor stock raising..." lated venture made for selfglory or to fulfill a mad ambition. It simply caps twelve years of the hardest possible railroad work, made necessary by the growth of the United States as a freight producing and forwarding nation. In the ten years that ended in December, 1909, this one railroad poured into its service the sum of nearly $500,000,000. It could have built a sea level canal at Panama at much less cost. From Chicago westward it could have pushed through three continental lines to the Pacific ocean, and the cost would have been less. The new passenger terminal in New York is the 'display end' of the Pennsylvania railroad's $500,000,000 budget. In 1899 at the beginning of this expansion, all the lines in the Pennsylvania system, east and west, earned about $152,000,000. In 1909, with a goodly part of the new money not earning its way, the same lines earned $313,000,000. They doubled the gross earnings, with $9,000,000 to spare. It is obvious that the facilities to earn this $161,000,000 of gross earnings have been added to the system during the interval. Here, then, is what the Cassatt dream has done to this decade. It has built between New York and Chicago a money-earning machine capable of taking in this amount of cash in a year—and not a bumper year by any means. If you were to add together the total gross earnings of the Southern railway, the Atlantic Coast line, the Louisville and Nashville and the Seaboard Air Line (all the great systems of the south) you would get a total for 1909 of about $165,000,000. The Great Northern and the Burlington together earned $150; 000,000. The Rock Island, the St. Louis and San Francisco and the Missouri Pacific, grouped, piled up a total of $160,000,000.

According to the report of County Auditor Lester, there are 14,200 head of sheep in Orange county, assessed at $2 a head, and 5330 lambs, assessed at 50 cents per head. The city trustees will go to Los Angeles to look at a number of reservoirs with a view to getting pointers. Santa Ana expects to build a new reservoir for its waterworks soon. Edith Stearns, aged 14, daughter of Frank Stearns of Tustin, is in bed from injuries received in a collision with a meat wagon. She was riding a bicycle and in turning a corner she struck the team. A horse's hoof put one leg and a wheel of the wagon ran over one arm. The superior court dismissed the charge of assault with a deadly weapon against Peter Laughlin. When Laughlin's trial was on a year ago his attorney declared Laughlin was insane and a jury so found him.Laughlin was recently discharged from the asylum, and he was returned here to face the criminal charge. The district attorney's office asked that the case be dismissed on account of lack of evidence to convict. Laughlin was accused of having fired two shots at a former employer, John C. Keefe of West Orange, one bullet striking Keefe in the hand. A final decree of divorce was granted to Clara Ziegler of Anaheim from George E. Ziegler. Plaintiff was allowed to resume her former name, Clara Fischer.

FINE BLOSSOMS, RIPE FRUIT Stockton, Aug. 14.—Excessive heat has caused a freak in the fruit world here that is creating much interest and not a little discussion among the orchardists. Many peach trees are laden on one side with green leaves and ripe fruit and the opposite side with as fine blossoms as were ever seen in April or May. The oddity was caused by workmen of the Central California Traction company line burning the grass along side of the tracks of that line on the Cherokee Lane road of the interurban between Stockton and Lodi. The trees were badly scorched on one side but the fruit matured on the other, though the owner believed the trees would die. During the last few days this scorched side of the trees blossomed forth for the second time, and there is every indication that a second crop of peaches will result. The orchardists are taking a keen interest in the unusual action of these trees and will closely follow the result of the unnatural heat on these trees.
