BIG CAMP AT ATASCADERO Local Men to Take Part in Mimic Warfare In response to an order granting signers on the petition for a new military company in Anaheim, the privilege of taking part in the maneuvers at Camp Atascadero next month, will be taken advantage of by a squad of at least eight men. Clyde Webb and Albert Brunworth are heading the move to take a bunch up that will be taken notice of. The boys have been to camp before, and appreciate the course of instruction. A good account of the local soldier boys is looked for; and this means a big lead in favor of locating a new company in Anaheim. The second big military maneuvers to be held in California and jointly participated in by the United States troops and militia in California, Arizona and New Mexico, will begin at Camp Atascadero Wednesday. Brig. Gen. Tasker H. Bliss, who took charge of the department of California only a few weeks ago, will be in command of the maneuvers. Approximately 5000 troops will be in the camp. Two years ago the first joint maneuvers between the regulars in the department of California, and the militia of California and Arizona, were held at Atascadero under command of Col. Marion P. Maus, now brigadier-general in command of the department of Washington. The results were so gratifying to the War Department that the big Atascadero ranch, with its miles of oak-studded hills and pretty valleys, located about eight miles from Paso Robles, midway between San Francisco and Los Angeles, has been made series, field hospital work, sanitation signaling and wireless telegraphy, patrol, outpost and reconnaissance duties; company, battallon, regimental and brigade evolutions to the more important problems of war. The maneuvers probably will culminate in a "battle" between the red and blue armies, in which one will represent an invading army landing at San Luis Obispo or Monterey and marching either on San Francisco or Los Angeles. This probably will be the only event of the maneuvers in which the hills and valleys will sound with all the noise of a real "battle." WAR ON GROUND SQUIRRELS "War on ground squirrels," is evidently the slogan of the State Board of Health for the next few months. The board of supervisors have received a communication from the board, signed by Dr. W. F. Snow, its secretary. A concerted action all over the state is planned, and Orange county is called upon in common with all other counties in the state to enforce the law on rodents. The supervisors are requested to notify all land owners to rid their lands of ground squirrels before January 1, 1911. If on January 1st the supervisors find any land owner who has not rid his property of the pest the board shall give him a warning and one month's extension of time. If on February 1st there is any land not freed of the ground squirrel, the board shall take the fight in hand and carry it to an end, assessing the cost as a lien on the land according to law. The communication suggests that the supervisors levy a tax to do the preliminary work. The position of the State Board of Health is that the law on rodents should be enforced. department of California, and the militia of California and Arizona, were held at Atascadero under command of Col. Marion P. Maus, now brigadier-general in command of the department of Washington. The results were so gratifying to the War Department that the big Atascadero ranch, with its miles of oak-studded hills and pretty valleys, located about eight miles from Paso Robles, midway between San Francisco and Los Angeles, has been made one of the ten regular biennial camps of instruction for the joint field training of the national guard with the regular troops. Only the militia of California and Arizona participated in the maneuvers two years ago, but this year the New Mexico national guard has been added to the encampment for their first field training with the regulars. A detachment of engineers from Fort Leavenworth, Kan., under Capt. G. R. Lukesh, also has been detailed to the camp this year. Capt. Lukesh will be chief engineer. He will have charge of the engineering problems during the maneuvers and with his detachment will give instructions in the laying out and construction of field works and entrenchments. Considerable disappointment is expressed in army circles over the failure of the war department to grant the request for a detachment from the army aerial corps for experiments with an aeroplane and a balloon, or airship during the maneuvers to determine the utility and practicability of aerial craft for military purposes on the Pacific coats. The Atascadero maneuvers are designated as a "camp of instruction" and in reality will be that far more than spectacular exhibitions of mimic warfare and sham battles. In fact, there will be few spectacular features and but little "powder burning." The war department has inaugurated a policy of economy in field maneuvers and apparently is of the opinion that the thundering roar of cannons, the sputtering of machine guns and rattle of long lines of infantry is a waste of blank ammunition, and does not add much to the real instructions and lessons to be gained by the militia from field training with the regulars. The object of the camp of instruction is to place the militia under the command of the regular army officers that the guardsmen may obtain practical instruction in the field, drill the officers, both of the regulars and of the guard, in the handling of larger industrial conditions throughout the state are generally good. Farmers and fruit growers are pleased with crop yield and prices. Fruit drying and canning are active, and demand is strong. The output will be above normal, with a rising market. Deciduous fruit and grape shipments are two hundred cars more than at this time last year. Raisins may be a little short, but the situation has improved greatly during the month, and the prospect is that this fruit will bring remunerative prices. Shipment of citrus fruit, while below that of last year, is above normal. Vegetable yield is good, and canning output will be large. Nuts will make a satisfactory crop. Yield of sugar beets gives promise of exceeding that of last year. All grain crops are good with barley a bumper crop. The success of cotton planting in the Imperial Valley is marked. Eight gins are being erected. One hundred thousand acres will probably be set out next season. Subdivision of large land holdings continues, and the influx of home-seekers into many parts of the state is increasing. Building and other construction, both of public and private nature, is active. New enterprises in mining and other lines are being started. The marked success of the electric iron ore smelter in Shasta county opens a new field of enterprise. County assessments show a total increase of $80,000,000 over that of last year. Small Boy—I want a box of pills, please.

If on February 1st there is any land not freed of the ground squirrel, the board shall take the fight in hand and carry it to an end, assessing the cost as a lien on the land according to law. The communication suggests that the supervisors levy a tax to do the preliminary work. The position of the State Board of Health is that the law on rodents should be enforced, not only as a measure of public health—the law having been made originally to get rid of rats bearing bubonic plague germs—but also as an economic measure to be rid of a pest of the fields. Under the law the State Board of Health has authority to enforce the law. STATE'S BUSINESS OUTLOOK Industrial conditions throughout the state are generally good. Farmers and fruit growers are pleased with crop yield and prices. Fruit drying and canning are active, and demand is strong. The output will be above normal, with a rising market.

Yungbluth PROTECTING THE FORESTS Necessity of Greater Vigilance to Save them from Destruction Editor Gazette.—I think there is scarcely a person who lives in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana or California who has not been aroused to the necessity for greater vigilance in the matter of forest fire protection and prevention, especially in the national forests. The experiences we are now passing through bring home the lessons clearly. The loss of life and property, both private and national, demands immediate attention. The writer at Spokane, Wash., on August 4, at the semi-annual meeting of the Western Pine Manufacturers association, introduced the following resolution, which was adopted with a view of enlisting the national government in the successful fighting and prevention of forest fires in the national forests which have been doing heavy damage in Idaho and Montana and a lesser damage in Washington, Oregon and California: Whereas, There exists a grave meme to the timber in the national forests on account of fire, carrying with it great and irreparable damage to life and property; and Whereas, There are stationed in different posts in the United States regular government troops who could be advantageously utilized in fire protection and extinguishment; now, therefore, be it Resolved, That it is the sense of this meeting that a communication be addressed to the president of the United States as commander-in-chief of the army, asking that troops located in the different states be regularly instructed in the methods of forest fire fighting and patrol, and be it further west uncovered a piece of redwood at a depth of 212 feet below the surface. The surface of the wood is rotted and evidently is what remains of a much larger piece, but the inside is solid and firm. Local geologists are trying to figure out how long the piece of wood has lain there to be covered by 212 feet of deposit at the rate it is now being carried down from the mountains. FIREMEN'S INSURANCE The Santa Ana fire department has appointed a committee of G. E. Peters William Hannah and W. A. Young to confer with the city trustees in regard to providing some kind of accident insurance for members of the department. The fireman have found that an insurance policy covering the men during fires, allowing $10 a week when disabled and $1000 for loss of life, would call for a premium of $400 a year. The committee will propose that the city pay $400 a year into a fund, rather than pay that amount to an insurance company. It is pointed out that since the department was organized in 1882 but four men have been injured. JUNIOR RALLY Presbyterian church, on Saturday, Sept. 17, 1910.

Tastes Like More That's What They All Say Hogan was playing nurse to the twins on the front porch. The twins were annoyed because each wanted exclusive possession of a solitary kitten and they were yelling. A neighbor at the gate: Well, Hogan, he asked, what would you take for them children of yourn? Hogan shifted in his chair. All the money in the wurruld couldn't buy thin, he declared. But, he added, I wouldn't give tin cents apiece for any more like thim. Apropos of the enmity, now happily buried, that used to exist between Minneapolis and St. Paul, Senator Clapp said at a dinner in the former city: I remember an address on careless building that I once heard in Resolved, That it is the sense of this meeting that a communication be addressed to the president of the United States as commander-in-chief of the army, asking that troops located in the different states be regularly instructed in the methods of forest fire fighting and patrol, and be it further. Resolved, That said troops be placed under the direction of the department of the interior or other appropriate department of the government and assigned for patrol duty during the months of May, June, July, August and September of each year to the end that the timber resources of the United States be more carefully conserved. The resolution was heartily indorsed and telegrams were sent by the association to President Taft and H. S. Graves, chief forester, and also by President Llewelling of the Western forestry and conservation association. President directed the secretary of war to lend the assistance of troops wherever available in combatting fire. The troops have done effective service. With training and preparation efficiency would be increased. The government should make it a policy to maintain a corps of soldiers in the states of Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana and California in the national forests during the months of May, June, July, August and September to co-operate with the forest service in patrol and fire fighting duties. A systematic campaign of fire protection should be inaugurated and carried out by the troops. By placing sentries on the promonitories overlooking the timbered area supplied with telephone communication, any information of incipient fires could be quickly transmitted. The troops could materially assist the forest service in cutting fire trails and making accessible every portion of the national forests and also maintaining a thorough and efficient patrol system. The greatest value of patrol is necessarily along traveled routes, railroad, etc. At present there are about 25,000 soldiers at the different army posts. If half of the men were assigned annually for forest duty it would practically mean the end of disastrous fires in the national forests. Lightning is one of the most serious fire menaces to be combatted. There are in the states of Montana, Idaho, Washington, Oregon and California 1800 for different posts in the United States regular government troops who could be advantageously utilized in fire protection and extinguishment; now, therefore, be it Tastes Like More That’s What They All Say About the Ice Cream at Fischle’s Candy Store.

The great test value of patrol is necessarily along traveled routes, railroad, etc. At present there are about 25,000 soldiers at the different army posts. If half of the men were assigned annually for forest duty it would practically mean the end of disastrous fires in the national forests. Lightning is one of the most serious fire menaces to be combatted. There are in the states of Montana, Idaho, Washington, Oregon and California 1800 forest service men. These are a mere handful covering the immense scope of territory, and this force must be augmented if results are to be achieved. The forest service has performed its function admirably, with the limited money and men at its disposal, but its efforts should be supplemented by the regular army. George M. Cornwall.
