TO PROTECT WEST COAST Battleship Fleet and Larger Army Demanded The opening gun of what is designed to be an organized campaign by the states of the Pacific slope to secure a battleship fleet in the Pacific and an increase in the standing army of twenty-five regiments of infantry, and cavalry and artillery in proportion, and the rehabilitation of the American merchant marine, was fired in San Francisco this week when permanent organization of the Pacific slope congress was effected. Steps were also taken toward organizing a Pacific Coast Defense league which it is hoped by those behind the movement will extend to the rest of the country and bring about the formation of a national defense league. The delegates from ten states and territories of the west adopted resolutions strongly urging the desired increase in military and naval power and the upbuilding of a merchant marine. The congress came to an end with a brilliant banquet to the delegates at the Palace hotel, at which 500 covers were laid. The committee on resolutions reported the following: "Resolved, That we respectfully urge the congress of the United States to take immediate steps to provide suitable naval bases, properly equipped for the use and maintenance of a battleship fleet on the Pacific coast. And we further respectfully urge that the regular army of the United States be increased by at least twenty-five regiments of infantry and proportionate increases in the field artillery and cavalry, to the end that our fortified harbors may be protected from land attack and the Pacific coast be thus given a sure guarantee against possible invasion." A resolution was presented by Senator Newlands of Nevada calling for the hardware firm stopped payment on the check. Feder, unable to get his money through the banks, has brought suit against the hardware people. He asserts that the check being genuine was accepted by him in good faith and that the Nickey hardware company must be the loser, not he. Robert Marshall, a begging hobo, who blew into town was taken to jail to serve a ten-day sentence for vagrancy. He wears a Masonic emblem and is believed to be an imposter. Officers are talking of the advisability of starting a rock pile for the discouragement of hobos. In years past it has been found that the hoboes were shy of this place as long as the rock pile was working. The winter crop of tramps has begun to drop in. A marriage license has been issued to Augustine Fellez, 22, and Juvenicia Luevano, 17, of Talbert. County Horticultural Commissioner R. K. Bishop has a dozen lady birds in a bottle at his office at the court-house whose tribe he hopes to see increase. The insects were brought by him from Venturac county, gathered from orchards where the mealy bug is at work. The insect originally came from China and was furnished Ventura by the scale insectary. As the ladybirds propogate and increase sufficiently Bishop will turn them out to prey on the mealy bug which has a foothold in two or three places in this county. The work of the parasite will be watched closely. While it goes after the pest, it seems not to make the headway desired. Judgment has been given in the superior court in favor of plaintiff in the suit of W. J. Hole against Karl Wenzel to quiet title to land in section 4, township 3 south, range 10 west. Wenzel agreed to pay $1600 for the land and paid $100 down in 1904, and has paid nothing since. Title was ordered vested in plaintiff. Thirty-three acres have been purchased as a site for the sugar factories of a road run at A. The essential task performed by these various racing car emphasized during meeting at Savannah failed to finish the course because work of the mechanics who succeeded on sharing the cows who rode with them. A mechanic in busy man, even twelve years more often alters than in othering the prize wintry is to keep a scar, warning his approach of faster supposed to keep allion of three of these lubrication dates the flow of oil which he operates of the speedometer port whenever new attained on various course. In addition scar—in itself a fearquire the entire action in an accident that a flash of warmth usually has none person is almost always of the two when smash. The mechanic's requires a lot of nerve. Once in a while sees that the clip he instance occurred occasion of the local practice spin. Of Atlanta who with Witt, deserves faster than a mile including the three land offered a can "Frank." said for the use and maintenance of a battleship fleet on the Pacific coast. "And we further respectfully urge that the regular army of the United States be increased by at least twenty-five regiments of infantry and proportionate increases in the field artillery and cavalry, to the end that our fortified harbors may be protected from land attack and the Pacific coast be thus given a sure guarantee against possible invasion." A resolution was presented by Senator Newlands of Nevada calling for "the construction of an auxiliary navy composed of transports, colliers, scouts, dispatch boats, etc., to support the fighting ships in case of a war, such ships to be used in time of peace as training ships for our naval reserves, and also for commercial purposes in opening up new routes of trade by lease to shipping companies." Newlands estimated that an auxiliary fleet of forty ships could be built for $40,000,000. The resolutions committee reported the resolution as inexpedient and the congress was of the same opinion after Congressman Julius Kahn of California had sharply attacked the measure on the floor. After the election of officers for the permanent organization Gov. Gillett of California being chosen president and ten vice presidents named, one from each of the states and territories represented, the remainder of the afternoon session was given over to speechmaking. Among the speakers were Congressman Bartlett of Nevada, Congressman Julius Kahn of California, George W. Dickle of San Francisco and Homer Lea of Long Beach. The latter spoke on "The Relation Between a Battleship Fleet in the Pacific, the Merchant Marine and the Present Necessity of a Mobile Army" and said in part: "Under present conditions with the world shrunk together more compactly than were the few states of Europe a half century ago, there has come a corresponding increase in the necessity for this republic to reach out and to participate in all the activities of this shrunken world, and if this is not done there shall in due time come about the whittling away of this nation's greatness; for we must not forget that nations are destroyed externally in peace as well as through the force of invading armies. Inasmuch as this republic is separated from most of the world by seas, its participation in the affairs of the world is directly dependent upon its means of communication to and it goes after the pest, it seems not to make the headway desired. Judgment has been given in the superior court in favor of plaintiff in the suit of W. J. Hole against Karl Wenzel to quiet title to land in section 4, township 3 south, range 10 west. Wenzel agreed to pay $1600 for the land and paid $100 down in 1904, and has paid nothing since. Title was ordered vested in plaintiff. Thirty-three acres have been purchased as a site for the sugar factory that James Irvine and others expect to build and have in operation in time to take beets for the 1912 season. The property has been bought from B. E. Turner through D. M. Kelly as trustee. The site lies on the line of the Southern Pacific between Santa Ana and Newport Beach. This factory will be a 600-ton plant, and will cost $600,000. It will be located within a mile and a half of the plant of the Southern California sugar company. James Irvine and James McFadden, who own many hundreds of acres of sugar beet land in the vicinity, are said to be among the principal movers of the new project. Other men who have been associated with them in business affairs may also be interested. The Santa Ana valley walnut growers association closed its doors for the season on Saturday. The house handled about one-third less walnuts this year than last, owing to the shortness of this year's crop. Secretary Tiede stated that figures concerning the amount handled and the receipts and expenditures would be obtainable in a fortnight. TIMBER LOSS MOST HEAVY Fires in Montana and Idaho Destroy Forests A rough estimate of the fire loss up on the national forests in Montana and northern Idaho, upon which the forest officers of the United States department of agriculture have been engaged since the fires were put out puts the total amount of timber killed or destroyed in this one district at over six billion board feet, while the area burned over is put at over one and one-quarter million acres. The heaviest losses were in two Idaho forests, the Coeur d'Alene, where over three billion board feet of timber are reported killed or destroyed and over 450,000 acres burned over, and the Clearwater, where one billion feet of timber were killed or destroyed and 300,000 acres burned over. On the Helena national forest in Montana the loss necessity for this republic to reach out and to participate in all the activities of this shrunken world, and if this is not done there shall in due time come about the whittling away of this nation's greatness; for we must not forget that nations are destroyed externally in peace as well as through the force of invading armies. Inasmuch as this republic is separated from most of the world by seas, its participation in the affairs of the world is directly dependent upon its means of communication to and from those ports; it is dependent upon an merchant marine proportionate to its exports and imports and to the power of its navy; that is, in turn, proportionate to the size of its merchant marine." W. W. Bates of Denver, former United States commissioner of navigation, was to have delivered an address, but his paper was read for him by his daughter. In it he declared strongly for the instituting of discriminatory duties in favor of American ships as a method of restoring the merchant marine. SANTA ANA A suit involving an unusual point of law is to be tried before Justice Smithwick on November 22. Nathan Feder of Los Angeles is plaintiff and Nickey Hardware company of Santa Ana is defendant. On December 4, 1909, the hardware company accepted a worthless check from a man named George B. Morgan. In lieu of change the firm gave its check for $20 to Morgan. Feder cashed this check. The hardware store in the meantime had found that the check accepted by it from Morgan was no good, and immediately E. B. Trago of over six billion board feet, while the area burned over is put at over one and one-quarter million acres. The heaviest losses were in two Idaho forests, the Coeur d'Alene, where over three billion board feet of timber are reported killed or destroyed and over 450,000 acres burned over, and the Clearwater, where one billion feet of timber were killed or destroyed and 300,000 acres burned over. On the Helena national forest in Montana the loss in timber is believed to have been 500,000,000 feet, on the Cabinet forest 400,000,000, and on the Lolo forest 3000,000,000. A large part of the losses on the Coeur d'Alene, Clearwater and Lolo were due to what became practically one great fire. The burn is shown on the forest service maps as extending in a northwesterly and south-easterly direction from north of Wallace, Idaho, to a point some 30 miles southwest of Missoula, Mont., or nearly 100 miles. At its widest point this burn has a width of about 40 miles, but its shape is very irregular. ROBINSON ON THE JOB Deputy State Fish Commissioner W. K. Robinson has made two arrests on gun club property in the last week on the charge of hunting without first having procured a license to hunt. Last Saturday Robinson arrested Edward Graham, a guest on the Bolsa gun club preserve. Graham pleaded guilty in Justice Shirley's court at Huntington Beach and paid a fine of $10. On Wednesday Robinson arrested Ramo Mostichatti in a blind of the Olympic gun club. The man paid a fine of $10 to Justice Burlingame.

UNCLAIMED L. Bruber, Mr. Conly, Jeff Elliottoria Morena Reis, James Gutlerres, Perfecto Meyer, Gibb Culver Burns, Rosenbeck Earl Anick, Mrs F. E. Huscher, DUTIES OF A MECHANIC In a Road Run is a Very Busy Man At All Times The essential nature of the work performed by the mechanics of the various racing cars was remarkably emphasized during the grand prize meeting at Savannah. Several cars failed to finish and were ruled off the course because of the inefficient work of the mechanics. Those drivers who succeeded invariably insisted on sharing the credit with the men who rode with them. A mechanic in a road race is a busy man, even though his name appears more often in the list of casualties than in the headlines announcing the prize winners. His first duty is to keep a sharp lookout in the rear, warning his driver regarding the approach of faster cars. He is also supposed to keep track of the condition of three of the tires. He watches the lubrication system and regulates the flow of oil through the pump which he operates. He keeps track of the speedometer and renders a report whenever needed, on the speed attained on various portions of the course. In addition, he hangs to the rear—in itself a feat which would require the entire attention of a novice. In an accident the driver has always a flash of warning. The mechanic usually has none and for this reason is almost always the worst hurt of the two when something goes to smash. The mechanic's job is one that requires a lot of nerve. Once in a while one of them decides that the clip is a bit too fast. An instance occurred at Savannah on the occasion of the E-M-F "30" car's final practice spin. Francis Lundgreen of Atlanta who had always ridden with Witt, descended after a lap at faster than a mile a minute clip, including the three slow-down turns, and offered a candid resignation. "Frank," said he to Witt, "You're 1911 MODEL E-M-F "30" SETS WORLD'S RECORD All the Cars that Finished Behind the $1,000 E-M-F "30" on the Atlantic Speedway Sell for at Least $500 More—that's the Best Fart of the Story. Standard 1911 Model E-M-F "30" Touring Car—$1,000 Change the body equipment and it's a racer, just like Witt's with which he won at the Speedway Last Week. "E-M-F "30" WINS." The old, familiar shout was heard on the Atlanta speedway again last week—it was the same old story. THE E-M-F "30" WAS FIRST. It is an expression not limited to the race tracks of the United States either. E-M-F "30" has won a lot of firsts, has won them just as cleanly and just as decisively as it did the race at Atlanta. THE FIRST CAR HOME IN THE RACE—and to establish a new world's record—was produced by the company which was the first to place on the markets of the world a genuine, practical car of the real touring type at a price within the reach of the man of average means. OTHERS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN BEHIND. Progress in manufacturing at the big E-M-F Company's plants has gone hand in hand with the quality of its product. A PRACTICAL DEMONSTRATION is always given in a race and the E-M-F company has always been glad to give it. It wants to take this occa- The mechanic's job is one that requires a lot of nerve. Once in a while one of them decides that the clip is a bit too fast. An instance occurred at Savannah on the occasion of the E-M-F "30" car's final practice spin. Francis Lundgreen of Atlanta who had always ridden with Witt, descended after a lap at faster than a mile a minute clip, including the three slow-down turns, and offered a candid resignation. "Frank," said he to Witt, "You're a nice fellow and a good driver. I'd as soon go over the bank with you as anybody I know. Your car is a bird; I don't blame you for thinking a lot of her. But, Frank, I don't want to ride with you in that race. You're going too fast. Down Ferguson avenue just now your speedometer for six miles stuck right between 80 and 82. You took all those S turns back there at 65 or faster. When you passed that 40 horse power car back there, I sprained my wrist hanging on. I'm through." It is a cardinal principle of all racing never to urge a man who is reluctant to compete and Francis' resignation was duly accepted. So, in the Tiedeman trophy event in which the E-M-F "30" led all its American rivals home at a speed of 55.28 for the 190.3 miles, a substitute rode in Francis' place, while Francis cheered valiantly from the E-M-F pit and stood ready with a gasoline can which was never needed. WHAT IT COST THEM Statements of Money Spent Being Filed by Candidates A number of those who ran for office during the campaign have recorded their statements of money spent during the campaign for political purposes. These statements must be filed by winners and losers alike. Statements so far recorded are: G. E. Peters, republican, for recorder, $102.15; W. B. Williams, republican, for clerk, $90; J. L. McBride, republican, for surveyor, $56; Jasper Leck, democrat, for supervisor, $53.95; M. Boisseranc, constable, independent, none; J. S. Howard, and H. E. Inskeep, republicans justices, none; R. P. Mitchell, republican, superintendent, $202.25; G. W. Angle, republican, supervisor, $58.37; E. W. Boynton, republican, constable, $43.25; S. E.

A. race tracks of the United States either. E-M-F "30" has won a lot of firsts, has won them just as cleanly and just as decisively as it did the race at Atlanta. THE FIRST CAR HOME IN THE RACE—and to establish a new world's record—was produced by the company which was the first to place on the markets of the world a genuine, practical car of the real touring type at a price within the reach of the man of average means. OTHERS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN BEHIND. Progress in manufacturing at the big E-M-F Company's plants has gone hand in hand with the quality of its product. A PRACTICAL DEMONSTRATION is always given in a race and the E-M-F company has always been glad to give it. It wants to take this occasion to impress on the mind of the public a number of logical lessons to be drawn from this demonstration. NO E-M-F "30" WAS EVER BUILT FOR SPEED. The ability to circle the Atlanta speedway faster than any car of its class is only an incident to the manufacture of a high-quality motor car, as the E-M-F Co. sees it. THERE ARE NO E-M-F "30" RACERS. Any E-M-F "30" that the factory in Detroit ever built—there are 20,000 of them in the hands of satisfied owners—would just as fast as the car that set the world's record—about 65 miles per hour. That must be the case. It's an essential of the E-M-F Company's system of manufacture. ALL E-M-F "30's" ARE FAST—Just as fast as Witt's "Polar Bear." They are made by automatic machinery—machinery, the purchase of which is possible only to a company that builds cars in large lots and can consequently afford it, saving a large labor expense that would otherwise make the car unprofitable, if sold at twice the price in smaller quantities. E-M-F DURABILITY is something we can't show in a race, however. All the South knows, though, that our old E-M-F "30" "Bullet" has been run 60,000 miles and is better than when she came to us—the first E-M-F "30" that ever came south of the Ohio. E-M-F ECONOMY is something we want to demonstrate any time we have an opportunity. The E-M-F "30" is the best balanced car in the world. It shows in the small expense of tire maintenance. Light weight makes for small gasoline consumption, just as it does for speed. The most ingenious, if the most simple lubricating system in existence helps E-M-F "30" owners save on their oil bills. AND THE BIGGEST E-M-F ECONOMY is in the first cost. You can buy a duplicate of Witt's race-winner with the added equipment of five-passenger touring body, for $1000. Not a car in the field that finished behind the E-M-F "30" on the Atlanta Speedway could be purchased, in stock form, for less than $1500. BEST AND CHEAPEST. It's an E-M-F "30." Price and performance simply can't be denied. They are in the records. ARE YOU IN THE MARKET for a motor car? We have made some statements here that we will be glad to prove to you still further. Call on us and arrange for a demonstration. Beebe = Weisel Co.
