Has the Largest Circulation GREATER ORANGE COUNTY If Los Angeles shall succeed in organizing itself into a city and county government, as now seems probable, Orange should be quick to take advantage of the friendly feeling existing in the sequestered district to being included in this county. Whether the southern line of the consolidated county be placed at New or Old San Gabriel river, it is certain that a large and populous territory could be added to this county. If the line be placed at New San Gabriel river, there will be in the separated strip the cities of Long Beach, Whittier, Norwalk, Artesia, La Mirada and other localities, having a population of probably 35,000, and assessable wealth of about $25,000,000. This would double the population of Orange, and place us, in respect to assessed valuation, probably in the ninth or tenth class, whereas we are now fifteenth—a by no means inconspicuous position in addition to these two. They are New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Ohio, Massachusetts, and Missouri. These are the great states of the union, but the great gains made and making by California give promise that some of those will look to their laurels or the golden state will show them what a real populous state looks like before Uncle Sam takes his next count of noses in 1920. In 1850 the population of this state was 92,597, in 1860, 379,994; in 1870, 560,247; in 1880, 864,964; in 1890, 1,208,130; in 1900, 1,485,058, and in 1910, 2,377,549. AN ORANGE-COUNTY REPRESENTATIVE The five southern counties of Southern California, with a portion of the eastern division of Los Angeles county added, will in the campaign of 1912 choose a representative in congress, the census enumeration giving them population sufficient to name a member of the lower house of representatives. These southern counties, which have all along furnished the majorities for the election of a representative in congress, have signally failed to take advantage of their political position. Before the 1900 census these counties, at loggerheads one with the other, permitted the nomination to go to the northernmost county in the district, which extended to a point farther north than San Francisco. James C. Needham was the nominee of the republican convention held at Newport Beach, and he has since represented his district at Washington. He is a member of the committee on ways and means, and is rated as one of the most influential AT THE UNIV. Progress of Work in Agriculture The third annual courses in agriculture farm closed in 1910, with an attentive of all sections age, the students teen to seventy yr majority were beaten forty. This indicates that the course with the practical phases of agriculture manner as to apply are either engaged enter upon agriculture the total registration men, the majority the course in poultry incidents of Davis generously so that and a large number their meals at dining hall.

If the line be placed at New San Gabriel river, there will be in the separated strip the cities of Long Beach, Whittier, Norwalk, Artesia, La Mirada and other localities, having a population of probably 35,000, and assessable wealth of about $25,000,000. This would double the population of Orange, and place us, in respect to assessed valuation, probably in the ninth or tenth class, whereas we are now fifteenth—a by no means inconspicuous position for the smallest county territorially in Southern California. The added territory would entitle us to increased representation in the public affairs of the state, and would give us added strength in the legislature. We should have one state senator and probably three assemblymen. We should have larger delegations in state and district conventions, and become the dominant figure in the new congressional district. From every point of view the annexation of this very desirable territory is one that pleases. Long Beach and Whittier have already gone upon record as favoring this step, and the entire territory will strenuously oppose inclusion in the proposed new county of San Antonio. Let Orange meet these people in friendly spirit, and let us by no means take such steps as might tend to change their present very friendly feeling toward us. We are mindful of the fact that there exists in some quarters a querulous notion that Long Beach desires admission in order to gain for itself the county seat of the enlarged county, and that Santa Ana might be in danger of losing that advantage, but we see little cause for fear upon this score. The present county would be practically a unit in support of retaining the county seat at Santa Ana, in the improbable event of such a campaign arising. Long Beach by its isolation from other portions of the enlarged county would be in no advan tageous position in relation thereto, and could hope for little if any assistance from centers of population not contiguous to its immediate environment. No affirmative vote could be secured for bonds with which to construct new county buildings, and as for Long Beach attempting to finance the campaign by local subscription, the amount of money necessary would be too large to be thought of for an instant. Grounds for a courthouse and jail, as well as other public buildings, and structures adequate to the needs of the enlarged county, could not be purchased short of a quarter of a million, and it is doubtl- the political position. Before the 1900 census these counties, at loggerheads one with the other, permitted the nomination to go to the northernmost county in the district, which extended to a point farther north than San Francisco. James C. Needham was the nominee of the republican convention held at Newport Beach, and he has since represented his district at Washington. He is a member of the committee on ways and means, and is rated as one of the most influential men on the delegation. After Needham had been segregated into another district, the southern counties, still at outs one with the other, permitted the nomination of Parson Smith of Bakersfield, whose hair came near being singed by the wicked Mr. Kirby of San Diego last August. Now Mr. Smith goes into another district, and the southerners will have a chance to begin all over again. Had we named an Orange-county man when Needham was chosen at Boss McFadden's hotel, or had we done so when the Kern county statesman was nominated, what advantage might not have been ours at this moment? As it is, we shall have to begin anew, and we hope the republicans of the south will know their political lesson better than they did a dozen and more years ago. What's the matter with an Orange-county man for congress in 1912? THE STATE'S CENSUS According to figures received from the census bureau at Washington the census of California is 2,377,549, as against 1,485,053, a gain of 892,496 or 60.1 per cent. Los Angeles county leads the counties with a total of 504,131, San Francisco is second with 416,912. Orange county's population is 34.436, and that of the five southern counties—San Diego, San Bernardino, Riverside, Imperial, and Oarnge—is 171,994. Simultaneously announcement comes from Washington that California will be entitled to four new congressmen upon the present basis of representation, but the state will probably gain three, as the numerical representation in the lower house of congress will not be enlarged to the extent indicated in the census figures. These three congressmen will come wholly from Southern California, as in this section are the great gains in population. A number of the northern counties show decreases as compared with ten years ago, while others show substantial gains. Los Angeles will gain one new con- ternary science; a society manufacture; a market milk and cream; Horticulture and agriculture; more than 152 individuals in more than tal individuals in In addition to short courses a series of obstinations and lectures "Farmers' Week" days beginning O registration outse Davis was 100. ure of the week household ecomotion of 63.

Grounds for a courthouse and jail, as well as other public buildings, and structures adequate to the needs of the enlarged county, could not be purchased short of a quarter of a million, and it is doubtful if even this large outlay would secure affirmation of the change on the part of the voters. Yet we believe there exists no such disposition on the part of Long Beach, and it is to be regretted that this discussion has appeared. Long Beach opposes being included in the consolidated city and county government, it makes no reference to erecting itself into a county government with the other sequestered territory, and it has in good faith, we think, offered to join issues with this county. Let the territory come in. Should the dividing line be put at Old San Gabriel river, there will be yet larger territory to annex, while on the other hand there might exist more probability that a new county might be formed to include all the territory set apart, or as much of it as Pomona might care to release. At all events let us assume a friendly attitude to our friends and if there exist any possibility of including them in Orange county, by all means let them come in. CALIFORNIA'S GREAT SHOWING California makes an admirable showing in the census returns. So far as population of states have been announced, California stands ninth in the list, with two states. Michigan and Indiana, so slightly in the lead that California will in all probability pass them before the next census is taken. Six states lead us in population, but the state will probably gain three, as the numerical representation in the lower house of congress will not be enlarged to the extent indicated in the census figures. These three congressmen will come wholly from Southern California, as in this section are the great gains in population. A number of the northern counties show decreases as compared with ten years ago, while others show substantial gains. Los Angeles will gain one new congressman, while the five southern counties, with the eastern portion of Los Angeles county will be entitled to one... These six counties will form another district, taking with them a number of counties now in the sixth district, and that district will absorb counties at present beyond its northern border. THAT HIGHWAY COMMISSION Now that it has been definitely determined that the $18,000,000 state road bonds were carried at the recent general election, what is the Orange county highway commission going to do in reference to the Orange county road bonds? Personally, we had rather vote for a county bond issue for roads than a state bond issue, but now that the latter have been approved by the voters, it may be well to suspend operations until it can be learned what roads will be built in Orange county by the state. The highway commission, we believe, are serving without compensation—at least until such time as bonds may be voted—but the expenses of the engineer's office continue, and have amounted to several thousand dollars. A report from the highway commission would seem to be in order: Local and Los Angeles bottled beer at brewery prices. Rust's winery.

AT THE UNIVERSITY FARM Progress of Work in Short Courses in Agriculture The third annual series of short courses in agriculture at the university farm closed on November 23rd, 1910, with an attendance representative of all sections of the state. In age, the students ranged from nineteen to seventy years and the large majority were between twenty-five and forty. This maturity of years indicates that the courses offered deal with the practical as well as scientific phases of agriculture in such a manner as to appeal to those who are either engaged in, or about to enter upon agricultural pursuits. Of the total registrations, nine were women, the majority of whom pursued the course in poultry husbandry. Residents of Davis opened their homes generously so that all found rooms and a large number chose to take their meals at the university farm dining hall. The registration in the several courses are as follows: General agriculture, two weeks, 21. Poultry husbandry, two and seven weeks, 31. Animal industry and veterinary science, three weeks, 28. Dairy manufacture, seven weeks, 29. Market milk and cream supply, 2 weeks, 7 Horticulture and viticulture, 2 weeks, 36. Total, 152. Deduct for registrations in more than one course, 33. Total individuals in attendance, 119. In addition to the above regular short courses a special series of demonstrations and lectures known as the "Farmers' Week" was held for six days beginning October 10th. The registration outside of residents of Davis was 100. An important feature is to appeal to those who are either engaged in, or about to enter upon agricultural pursuits. FIELD SUPERINTENDENT Rev. A. W. McConnell field representative ministerial sustentation fund of the Presbyterian church, occupied the pulpit at the Presbyterian church Sunday morning. His pointed remarks were full of enthusiasm as he presented the matter of caring for the aged ministers who had devoted the best part of their lives to the ministry, and were now classed among the "has beens" and turned out without means of support. He said in part: "I am not after your pocket books today but am simply going to preach you a sermon. My scripture references are Isa 52-7, 1st Corr. 9-14, 1st Tim 5-8. I used to think I could preach without an income. Ministers dare not set a price for their services even in a marriage service. Is there any other profession that carries on business that way? Soldiers endure hardships from the enemy; not from the government. When they are unable to march to the front the government pensions them. "Ministers are called to endure a hardship at the hands of a selfish church. The average salary of a minister in the United States only amounts to $700 per year. "There is only two ways a minister may expect to get money, to inherit or to marry. "We would not have the church today charged with being worse than an infidel, and yet it is a fact. "The railways, lodges, government (and a movement is on foot now to pension the wornout school teachers) bring their people. Why not a sinister look. Nor can the policy of that paper at crucial junctures in the fortune of the direct primary-law two years ago be soon forgotten. It will bear watching. Can it be that communication between the Flood building and the Claus Spreckels in San Francisco has been opened via the San Diego & Arizona railroad which John D. Spreckels is reputed as building to a connection with the Southern Pacific.—California Weekly." A bond election for $40,000 will be held in this school district on Saturday next at Central grammar school from the hours of 8 o'clock in the morning until sundown. The purpose is to raise money for the erection of a new school building, which is urgently needed. If we are to provide schoolhouses for the children now in overcrowded quarters, whose numbers are constantly on the increase, we must erect this new building. It is to be hoped the bonds will carry. Anaheim cannot afford to have it said of her that she is so far behind the progressive cities of Southern California that she refuses properly to house and educate the vast and growing army of the rising generation. Vote for the bonds, and get your neighbor to vote for them. In addition to the above regular short courses a special series of demonstrations and lectures known as the "Farmers' Week" was held for six days beginning October 10th. The registration outside of residents of Davis was 100. An important feature of the week was the work in the household economics with a registration of 63. Thus, all told, the number of persons receiving instruction and inspiration at the university farm during the period just closed is 282. Similar short courses will be given in the fall of 1911. The university farm school will complete its second year in January, 1911. The enrollment during the fall of 1910 has been 77. The farm school has a regular course of three years to which boys are admitted who are at least fifteen years of age and have completed the eighth grade of the grammar schools. In addition, young men who possess similar educational qualifications and are eighteen years or more of age are admitted for one term or longer to pursue any studies in the curriculum for which they are prepared. The annual cost to the student for board, room, fees, and books amounts to about $230. The subjects of the course are as follows: First Year—Farm crops, stock judging, botany, physiology and hygiene, English, mathematics, shop work. Second Year—Horticulture, entomology, poultry, animal industry, dairy industry, chemistry, English and history, algebra and farm accounts. Third Year—Soils and soil fertility, irrigation and surveying, physics, English, and history, farm mechanics, elective subjects: Animal industry, dairy industry, horticulture, viticulture, poultry husbandry. The equipment of the farm is steadily growing. It is now a little more than four years since the 780 acres were purchased, and a great transformation has taken place upon the bare grain fields of the original area. The first buildings were erected in 1907 and the first meeting, a farmers' institute, was held in October of the same year. The buildings, large and small, for farming and educational purposes now number fifteen and among them are dormitory, dining-hall, creamery, pavilion, horticultural hall, wood and blacksmith shop, veterinary clinic, livestock building, dairy, horse Commencing Monday Night.
