Entered at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter. Has the Largest Circulation CONGRESSMAN SMITH It is the consensus of opinion hereabout that Mr. Congressman Smith does not give a rap for free mail delivery in Anaheim, and that he is more interested in bringing about that betterment in localities farther north in his district. It least so it would appear from a letter received from him by Postmaster Duckworth, and printed upon another page in this issue. Mr. Smith seeks evidently to repair his political fences in counties where it will do the most good rather than look after the interests of a county which will not in future be included in his new district. To all intents and purposes Orange county has no representative in congress, nor have the other Southern California counties. Mr. Smith will be in another district next year, and these counties will begin over the work of selecting a congressman. Fourteen years ago these counties selected a man from Stanislaus county, who had never before been south of the Tehachepli. After the last federal census these counties pinned their faith to Smith, and now Smith has left. CALIFORNIA FORESTS President's Proclamation Changes the Area of Up-State Reserve Washington, Dec. 28.—The president has signed a proclamation eliminating 21,527 acres from the Monterey national forest, California, and adding 7690 acres. These changes are the result of a careful field examination made by the U.S. department of agriculture in pursuance of a general plan for the correction of all national forest boundaries. Only the San Benito and Pinnacles divisions of the forest are affected by this proclamation; no changes are made in connection with the coast or Monterey division. Along the northern and eastern boundaries of the San Benito division, eliminations are made of brush and grassland which are so heavily alienated as to render national forest administration impracticable. The only addition made is of a strip of land adjacent to the western boundary of the forest, forming the watershed between Laguna creek and San Benito river. The area contains a stand of oak with a scattering of digger pine and Coulter pine. The most notable change made by this proclamation is the elimination of the entire Pinnacles division of the forest, in T. 1C and 17 S., R 7 E. This area has no valuable timber and is of no value from a watershed point of view. This division received its name from a peculiar rock formation widely known as the Pinnacles. The importance of this formation from a scenic point of view le the withdrawal of 2080 acres as the Pinnacles national monument. The effect was to bar the area from all forms of disposal under the public land laws. The elimination of the surrounding area as a portion of the national forest do- ORPHAN LEAD TO MORE WATER More than 700 pounds of pine tree seed already have been planted this season on the Angelus national forest, and R. M. Charlton, supervisor of the forest, has just received 400 lbs. more. This seed is being planted on the natural timber belt in the higher altitudes of the San Bernardino range. As a rule, the pines reseed themselves, but there are places where there has been a heavy growth in years of long ago that have little new growth on them. There are big trees scattered here and there, but no young ones coming on. This is because the ground is so thickly covered with pine needles and similar debris that the seed from the pines does not get sufficiently imbedded in the soil to make a start. The forest service this year is beginning a systematic plan to cover all such bare spaces with young growth. Small experiments have been made in planting seed direct heretofore, but this is the first time it has been attempted on a large scale. Reforestation has been carried on heretofore by planting out nursery stock. The seed in some instances is harrowed in, and in others the ground is loosened up with a spade to give the young trees a foothold. As the 1100 pounds to be planted this season will cover about 200 acres, the planting process is no small task. Although many years are required for pine trees to grow, the success of the planting will be evident the first year, for if a considerable number of the seeds obtain a good start, the seedling trees probably BONUS TO LURE STORK French Town Offers Its Employees a Raise in Pay for Each Child Paris, December 27.—The Municipal Council of the Cathedral City of Tulle, in the Correze (Central Part of France), has decided to begin a campaign against depopulation by providing financial encouragement to its servants to bring up large families. The plan, which has received the sanction of the council, maintains the general wage list, as before, but adds supplementary pay at the rate of 10, 15 and 20 per cent, respectively, to the earnings of those civic employees who have two, three or four children or more. At present it is intended that the scheme shall be limited in its application to employees receiving $300 a year or less, and a further stipulation cancels the supplementary pay as each child reaches the age of 16. The municipality has many employees earning from $200 to $300 per year, and several of these will draw the maximum bonus of $60. The Tulle municipal council is the first public body to give practical shape to any one of the many different schemes suggested to combat the depopulation of France. Their scheme is a part of that put forward by the well known economist, M. Anatole Leroy-Beaulieu. M. Leroy-Beaulieu proposed that the initiative should be taken by the state in a similar form to that of the Tulle municipal council. The extraordinary large number of state employes (averaging almost one in area has no valuable timber and is of no value from a watershed point of view. This division received its name from a peculiar rock formation widely known as the Pinnacles. The importance of this formation from a scenic point of view le the withdrawal of 2080 acres as the Pinnacles national monument. The effect was to bar the area from all forms of disposal under the public land laws. The elimination of the surrounding area as a portion of the national forest does not in any way change the status of the national monument withdrawal except that the area will now be under the jurisdiction of the department of the interior. The unappropriated portions of the lands eliminated by this proclamation will be restored to settlement and entry after they shall have been advertised in the local papers by the secretary of the interior.

The seed in some instances is harrowed in, and in others the ground is loosened up with a spade to give the young trees a foothold. As the 1100 pounds to be planted this season will cover about 200 acres, the planting process is no small task. Although many years are required for pine trees to grow, the success of the planting will be evident the first year, for if a considerable number of the seeds obtain a good start, the seedling trees probably will survive. In the lower altitudes of the forest along the foothills the more rapid growing eucalyptus will not stand the cold of the higher altitudes and there it is necessary to plant pines. Two varieties of seed are planted — this season the yellow pine and the Jeffrey pine. It will require from 50 to 100 years for these trees to become sawlogs, but that is not what the forest service is aiming at in the Angelus forest. The conservation of the water supply for irrigating is more important than any other use of the mountains here, and the young pines will be useful for that purpose in just a few years. Their roots will open crevices in the rocks to take in the rainfall, which would otherwise wash down the mountain sides, creating floods and doing much damage. The timber growth holds the water until it runs off slowly during the dry months. HAPPY NEW YEAR To all our readers and friends, everywhere, a Happy and Prosperous New Year.

She is not the oldest doll there, some being over 4000, but she is slightly more artistic than the others.

The property valuation is over two and one-half millions, with more than a quarter of a million dollars worth of new buildings now in course of construction. Thirty miles of concrete sidewalks, more than four miles of street paving, a fine city hall, one of the best electric power and light plants on the coast, a splendid city water plant, serving the best of water through many miles of mains, are among city owned improvements. Three banks look after the financial interests of the community. In the business district will be found some of the most up-to-date stores in the state, while in the resident section, one will find homes that are a credit to cities many times the size of Anaheim. A sugar factory, 700 tons daily capacity, will operate in 1911, largely increasing trade in the city and the revenues of its business people. A brewery of large capacity operates in Anaheim and sends its product throughout the southwest; wineries, the largest but one in Southern California among these, make large annual output; a gas plant, a meat packing-house, cannery, walnut, fruit and vegetable packing houses, a steam laundry, planing mills and large lumber yards, are among present industrial enterprises. Three railroad depots are in the city, with abundant yard and siding facilities, attractive to manufacturing concerns, of which it is expected many new playgrounds will be built in the next year. Bancroft and a 20-year-old boy named H. C. Sanders, burglarized Bird's book store at Orange, stole several dozen fountain pens and other articles. Arrived here, Bancroft acted like a stupid ne'er-db-well. He said it was his first job in burglary Even after he had cut the screen he kind of lost heart for a few seconds, and ran away. But he regained his courage, and finished the thievery. Judge West held Bancroft for several days, hoping to fathom his manner, and expecting that something might turn up to determine whether or not he was a stupid tramp or a hardened burglar Nothing turned up, and the judge sentenced him to prison for a term of fifteen months. With two months credit for good behavior, Bancroft can be out on January 20, 1912. J. A. Wilkes took Bancroft to San Quentin and turned him over to the officials of the prison. They had no sooner set eyes on Bancroft than they recognized him as an old offender. They showed Wilkes by the prison books that Bancroft was then entering upon his fifth penitentiary sentence. Bancroft was sentenced to one year in San Quentin by Judge Ballard on Sept. 30, 1901. With him went another man who went by the name of George Moore. The two men entered the home of John A. Smith southeast of Anaheim, and stole a number of articles, among them a pair of spectacles and a spool of thread. Sid Smithwick and Tlofilo Cervantes arrested the pair in the freight yards in Santa Ana, and found the stolen articles on them. Sid Smithwick, in telling of the arrest on Monday, says that he heard the two men coming along the track holding a heated conversation as to whether or not William Jennings Bryan would eventually be elected president of the United States.—Santa Ana Register.

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA Prodigality of Life In Ancient Egypt. The reckless prodigality with which in ancient Egypt the upper classes squandered away the labor and lives of the people is perfectly startling. In this respect, as the monuments yet remaining abundantly prove, they stand alone and without a rival. We may form some idea of the almost incredible waste when we hear that 2,000 men were occupied for three years in carrying a single stone from Elephantine to Sals, that the canal of the Red sea alone cost the lives of 120,000 Egyptians and that to build one of the pyramids required the labor of 360,000 men for twenty years. An Infamy. Some years ago we remember meeting at the door of a secondhand bookshop an excited Irishman. He had just bought the "Irish Melodies" for a shilling when he turned round on the bookseller and burst out, "But I could kill ye for selling these immortal gems so cheap!"—London Athenaeum. The Handwriting. "If you look about you," said the omnous acquaintance, "you will see the handwriting on the wall." "The handwriting on the wall does not worry me," replied Senator Sorghum, "so long as they don't go rum-maging into my private memoranda."—Washington Star. A Hardware Talk. "Yes," said the nut to the nail, "It gave me a terrible wrench to part from him, but I knew it would be only a matter of a few days before he would bolt anyway."
