THE SEVENTH IN CAMP Southern California Militiam Having Fun at Attascadero California's militia took the camp by storm on Sunday. The Seventh infantry of Los Angeles, Col. W. G. Schrieber, commanding, and Company A, signal corps, Capt. H. J. Bathley, leading the guard, Brig.-Gen. Robert Wankowski accompanied these troops. The San Francisco and Sacramento contingents are also in camp. On Monday morning active instructions began. This instruction was very thorough and included close order drill, picking out indistinct targets and estimating their distance, and during which the men individually cook one meal each, night alarm, patrolling, digging ditches, and as a finale, the application of these in maneuvers. The regular army officers, detailed as instructors and inspectors, have already given valuable advice and instruction in camp sanitation and camp pitching. In addition to those previously designated, Capt. H. M. Stamford, signal corps, has been assigned to duty with the California signal corps. The entire California national guard made camp with wonderful celerity and lack of confusion and their excellent uniforms and equipment and the uniformity of size of their packing cases caused much favorable comment among the regular army officers. Field officers of the regular army in camp are very jubilant over having completed two-thirds of the test ride. So far not one has fallen out and not one confesses to even a slight chafe or a hint of stiffness in NO FLOAT AT CARNIVAL The merchants association on Tuesday decided to discontinue efforts for the preparation of a float representing this city at the carnival of products at Santa Ana today. The committee in charge intended constructing a Ship of State, showing Progress and Prosperity hereabout, but early in the week learned that it would be impossible to procure men competent to deliver the goods. Rather than have an inferior display, the association resolved to abandon the float. Members will concentrate their efforts in preparing a display of products in a booth at the exhibition grounds. GRAPES FOR DIAZ Fifty Crates on Way to Mexico for President's Nearest Friends Fifty crates of California grapes are on their way to Mexico from upstate vineyards. Each crate is addressed to a high Mexican official, or some personal friend of President Diaz. The grapes are not being sent as an advertisement of the vineyards of California, but by special order of Diaz himself, and thereon hangs a story. A year ago, when President Taft and President Diaz met on the international boundary, Diaz had his first taste of the flaming tokay, the famous, large grape grown extensively in this state. A traveling agent of the Wells-Fargo express company had been commissioned to obtain some California grapes for the occasion and it happened that he placed the order with the vineyard in Sacramento county. Now comes an order a year later from Diaz directed to the Wells-Fargo company to ship fifty fifties.

INDUSTRIAL NOTES Crops Promise Well In Many Portions of State Information received justifies earlier prognostications and estimates made as to conditions and outlook for the season. September rains, unusual in the state at the time of the year, did no general damage, as the timely warnings of the weather bureau gave opportunity for protective measures. The beans, figs and grapes were somewhat affected in some localities. Deciduous fruit shipments have kept up well, and increased facilities for transportation have worked favorably for growers. Drying and canning have continued active with a good demand for finished products. Citrus fruits promise well and preparations are already being made for handling the large crop of next season (1910-11.) Field vegetables have given satisfactory returns. Sugar beets yielding well. Grain crops in many sections were beyond normal storage capacity. General industrial conditions are good. Oil and mining developments are reasonably active. New industries are being inaugurated, both in San Francisco and throughout the state. Construction, both public and private, in San Francisco continues quite active. A project is on foot for the acquisition of an extensive body of iron ore land in Riverside county and the establishment of a large steel plant on the southern coast. Results of the season's experiments with cotton in the Imperial valley; rice, hemp and broom corn, in the Sacramento valley, and tobacco in the San Joaquin valley, promise the addition of these desirable industries on a fairly extensive scale, to those already established in the state. ARTESIA The National Beet Growers Association, an organization of all the beet raisers in the United States, received its first impetus in this little city this week, when a permanent society was formed and officers elected. This association has for its purpose the welfare of the sugar-beet grower and the advancement of his interests through organization. If the plans now under way are carried to a successful conclusion, the association will extend its membership to every beet growing community in the United States. The plan of procedure is to organize local associations in every town. These are to meet every month and discuss questions of fertilization, methods of planting and harvesting, and other matters of local interest. All the local associations will be amalgamated into one national body, which will attend to legislative and national matters. It is proposed to conduct the organization somewhat on the lines of the walnut, bean and citrus fruit associations. The meeting drew a crowd of some two hundred beet growers. Jay E. Randall, W. H. Smith and Professor F. Goulet addressed the meeting, urging the need of immediate action and benefits to be derived from organized efforts. The permanent organization was affected by the adoption of bylaws and constitution. The following board of directors was chosen: Thomas Hurley, president; B. W. Haillcy, vice-president; Jay E. Randall, recording secretary; Clarence Dougherty, corresponding secretary; D. D. Gardner, treasurer; Harvey Smith and Walter Donnelly. The local association and President Diaz met on the international boundary. Diaz had his first taste of the flaming tokay, the famous, large grape grown extensively in this state. A traveling agent of the Wells-Fargo express company had been commissioned to obtain some California grapes for the occasion and it happened that he placed the order with the vineyard in Sacramento county. Now comes an order a year later from Diaz directed to the Wells-Fargo express company to ship fifty crates of the same kind of grapes to a list of fifty addresses furnished. The local express agent went to the same ranch up-state and the grapes were gathered and nicely crated. They were shipped the next day. It is believed that a good market for California grapes can be developed in Mexico.

Evans Says Petroleum is Coming Fuel The vast importance of California's oil industry is just beginning to be realized by those already interested, as well as by the public at large. The production of fuel oil is now the largest single industry of California. Hitherto this industry has been regarded largely as a purely local one and not until within the past year or two has the business impressed itself as being one of international importance, one that will revolutionize and readjust industrial conditions, one that will change the aspects of war so far as it concerns naval affairs. As regards its effect on naval conditions Rear-Admiral Robley D. Evans—"Fighting Bob," as he is known to every American citizen, admired and loved by them and by the people of other nations, is authority. From a close study of the oil fields of the world he has deduced conclusions that are logical and sure to be carried out. The Admiral, in a recent interview, leaves no doubt as to his ideas of what will take place in the near future. It is significant that the first business venture of Admiral Evans should be in the oil industry, the one industry concerning which he is thoroughly posted through his intimate knowledge of naval affairs. After spending a week in the California oil fields, where he inspected several large oil properties under the direction of N. F. Wilson of the Lincoln Mortgage & Loan company of San Francisco, the announcement work of twenty when oil is used instead of coal. If I were to say how great I think the money saving would be the newspapers would think that I had lost my mind. "Oil fuel will remove the only tenable objection to the maintenance of a formidable fleet of battleships in Pacific waters," continued the Admiral, his eyes brightening and his countenance becoming more animated as he touched upon his favorite topic for newspaper interviews. "The United States must protect the Pacific Coast and its island possessions in the Orient. The Pacific should have a battleship fleet as large as that kept in the Atlantic and It is significant that the first business venture of Admiral Evans should be in the oil industry, the one industry concerning which he is thoroughly posted through his intimate knowledge of naval affairs. After spending a week in the California oil fields, where he inspected several large oil properties under the direction of N. F. Wilson of the Lincoln Mortgage & Loan company of San Francisco, the announcement of the organization of the California consolidated oil company was forthcoming, the company securing the Mascot, Premier and Yellowstone properties, comprising over 500 acres of the best territory in five of the prominent oil districts of the state, and having a production of more than 150,000 barrels monthly. Pacific coast oil will solve the problem of fuel for the fighting ships, the Admiral declares, and he follows this up with the statement that the petroleum fields of California are the greatest the world now knows, or ever has known, and that for an apparently limitless period they will produce enough oil to supply the fuel demands not only of America's warships, but of the American merchant marine as well. "Undoubtedly the citizens of the Pacific Coast, and of Alaska, by all means should be allowed to use their own coal," said Admiral Evans in a recent interview in the Seattle Times. "I have no patience with a policy of conservation that would block progress by ruling to the contrary, but the idea that the government must rely on Alaska coal for fuel for its fighting ships is erroneous." "I have visited and examined thoroughly from every point of view petroleum fields all over the world, and I have no hesitancy in saying that in California alone there is oil enough to supply all the steamships afloat with fuel for a century, if not for centuries. The extent of the oil fields of the Pacific Coast is far greater than most persons ever dream, and no person now living will witness the first symptoms of their exhaustion. "This being the case, I believe that I did not allow my enthusiasm to get the better of me when I declared in an after-dinner speech in San Francisco a few nights ago that when the Panama Exposition is held in that city in 1915, four out of every five steamships that enter that harbor, merchants and war vessels alike, will be burning oil fuel." "Oil fuel will remove the only tenable objection to the maintenance of a formidable fleet of battleships in Pacific waters," continued the Admiral, his eyes brightening and his countenance becoming more animated as he touched upon his favorite topic for newspaper interviews. "The United States must protect the Pacific Coast and its island possessions in the Orient. The Pacific should have a battleship fleet as large as that kept in the Atlantic and eight more battleships should be kept in reserve. To protect this coast would require only a few more battleships than are now in commission or under construction, and were a hundred more ships required, the expense would not be a thousandth part of the cost of insuring property within reach of the guns of a hostile fleet on the Atlantic coast alone. "Coast defenses are all right as far as they go, but they cannot go far enough. Neither will the completion of the Panama canal give relief. The hazard of sending warships through the canal in case of war would be too great and the fleet must be in the Pacific before war begins. I sincerely hope that there will be no war, but the best assurance against war is a navy big enough to show that the United States is not bluffing. "Now while I am on the subject of the Panama canal, let me say that it is up to the cities of the Pacific coast to realize that they must make preparations to handle a far larger ocean commerce than they now look forward to. Seattle and other coastal cities should begin at once to build scores of big ships to handle this great future trade. You have made a start in the iron and steel industry. Keep it going. Get your iron from China or make it yourselves, but make the steel and build ships." "Of course, you must have the coal for iron-making, and you should get it from Alaska." "One more word of warning. You should work for municipal ownership of docks and wharves. That is one of what they call my hobbies, but it is something that must be attended to now before the Panama canal makes your harbor facilities too valuable to be acquired by your cities." MR.

McCormac, Pres't, SANTA ANA, CALIFORNIA Notice to Creditors than most persons ever dream, and no person now living will witness the first symptoms of their exhaustion. "This being the case, I believe that I did not allow my enthusiasm to get the better of me when I declared in an after-dinner speech in San Francisco a few nights ago that when the Panama Exposition is held in that city in 1915, four out of every five steamships that enter that harbor, merchants and war vessels alike, will be burning oil fuel. "Within a few years all the great powers of the world will be using oil fuel in their navies, and, thanks to its abundant resources of petroleum, the United States will reap a harvest of gold by furnishing them most of their supply. California and other states of the southwest and Alaska, too, will benefit. The United States is on the eve of making the change and while I was in California the cable carried the news that Great Britain had decided to equip its navy with oil burners. "Even were coal equally abundant, oil would supplant it as fuel for steamships. Weight for weight, oil gives ten heat units to seven and a half for coal, and there is an immense saving in storage space and expense of disposing of ashes. Remember that warships when in most foreign ports must pay handsomely for having their ashes carried out to sea and dumped by lighters. "The saving in labor alone to the United States navy would be enormous, for one stoker will do the should work for municipal ownership of docks and wharves. That is one of what they call my hobbies, but it is something that must be attended to now before the Panama canal makes your harbor facilities too valuable to be acquired by your cities." MR. JONES FINDS A PIN Have you heard about Jones' good luck? Jones started down town the other morning and saw a pin lying on the edge of the sidewalk. He had heard that, "If you find a pin and pick it up, all that day you'll have good luck," so he stooped over to capture the prize. Jones was wearing his new stiff hat, and as he stooped, it fell from his head and rolled into the gutter, his false teeth fell and landed in a nice soft mudhole, his eyeglasses dropped to the sidewalk and were broken into a hundred pieces, and the tightening of his suspenders broke a button off from his trousers—but Jones got the pin. Are you throwing away your energy by working for years at a small salary? Jones could have gone to the store and bought a package of pins for a nickel. You can come here and secure a business training that will be just as economical for you as this plan would have been for him. SAN BERNARDINO BUSINESS COLLEGE & CIVIL SERVICE INSTITUTE.
