PROGRESS AND NEEDS OF THE UNIVERSITY The Biennial Report of the President of the University to the Governor of the State is issued this week. Dr. Wheeler summarizes at the outset the external evidences of the growth of the university, making special reference to increase in student enrollment, the Doe library building, the Boalt hall of law, the agricultural building, foundations for which are now being laid, the zoological museum, the Sather gateway, the tennis courts, the swimming pool, the agricultural demonstration train, the affiliation with the Los Angeles medical department, the marine biological station at La Jolla, the extension of the university publications, the establishment of the seismological station at the university, the final taking over of the Kearney estate, and the reorganization of the administrative part of the university by the creation of salaried deanships. Among the needs of the university buildings take prominent place as the most urgent. The chemical laboratory, designed to accommodate 150 students, is now called upon to shelter 1000; North hall, weakened by age and thoroughly outworn, is a standing fire menace to the magnificent Doe library immediately on the left facing the north; the department of drawing is being crowded out of east hall by the expansion of physics and zoology; classes in botany have to be conducted in the ill-lighted garret, which was never designed to be used as a place of instruction. The professors of physics, geology, and mineralogy are crowded and cramped for room in South hall. There should be baseball field is being graded west of California field. The swimming pool is nearing completion. A new running track will be built in the immediate future. Outdoor hand ball and basket ball courts should be provided. Dr. Wheeler makes reference to the comparative scholarship records of the average student and the members of fraternities and clubs. Reports recently compiled show that the scholarship of men in the fraternities fall seriously below that of the average male student. The scholarship of clu members is a little above that of the average male student. Eight of the ten clubs outstripped the general student average, whereas in the twenty-two fraternities only two accomplished this. Fraternities, however, are alive to the fact and are taking active steps looking toward more earnest attention to matters of scholarship among their members. The student self-government proressegs steadily. If extension courses be included, the number of persons enrolled under the university's management and in enjoyment of its income is at this date 5824. In closing the report Dr. Wheeler says of Professor Stringham whose death occurred in October, 1909: "He was able and patient and wise, and all that he was he gave with a fullness of loyalty rarely equalled to the service of this university." SEASONING EUCALYPTS Experiments Being Carried on At Santa Monica Station Experiments in artificial seasoning of eucalyptus timber are being made and thoroughly outworn, is a standing fire menace to the magnificent Doe library immediately on the left facin; the north; the department of drawing is being crowded out of east hall by the expansion of physics and zoology; classes in botany have to be conducted in the ill-lighted garret, which was never designed to be used as a place of instruction. The professors of physics, geology, and mineralogy are crowded and cramped for room in South hall. There should be an auditorium for great assembly days. The unprecedented increase in rents in Berkeley and the expense to which the students are put for room and board make dormitories and commons a pressing need. Among other needs enumerated by Dr. Wheeler are these: The demand for a properly manned and equipped medical department; money for the adequate maintenance and progress of work at the Lick observatory, which the president says "ranks everywhere in the world as work of the highest order", the desirability of establishing in the not distant future a school of forestry; further appropriations for the work of the extension department in agriculture, which is of vast and increasing importance to the farmers of the state; the advantages that would come from a purchase outright of a permanent site for the summer school of surveying, which, says Dr. Wheeler, "has no peer or, so far as I know, rival except in the same institution connected with Columbia university;" the urgency of a state high school, under control of the university, to be utilized in the training of teachers. To attract and hold teachers the president says our salary scale should be higher; at present it is quite decidedly below that of the leading institutions of the east. The result is that ambitious young teachers are attracted back toward the east,"where the stimulus arising from association is greater and the opportunities of scientific and educational assemblies, of libraries, and other equipments are superior." Reference is made to the first volume of publications of the academy of Pacific coast history. The Bancroft library is under the direction and management of the curator of the academy, and it is of far more than ordinary importance to the state containing as it does the body of the birth certificates of California. The first volume of publications of the academy including papers by members SEASONING EUCALYPTS Experiments Being Carried on At Santa Monica Station Experiments in artificial seasoning of eucalyptus timber are being made in kilns at the state university forestry station, Santa Monica canyon, by N. D. Ingram, supervisor. Quick methods of drying the wood of gum trees are greatly desired for commercial purposes. Many have been tried; acknowledged successes are few. Two years ago the wood of blue gum trees was seasoned in six days in a hot air chamber at the station, but the temperature maintained under test was burned. The natural process of sun and air drying required some 12, 18 or more months. Three general processes are being employed at present by Mr. Ingham in his experiments: Steam heat, subjection to the steam itself and air heated. Many variations, however, will be tried in seeking for results to high temperatures. The wood from blue gums, red gums, gray gums and sugar gums is being quarter sawed and slab sawed one inch thick and each piece marked so that careful data can be kept on results. A great many facts will be reported to the state university as the result of the experiments, which are to occupy the station some two or three months. Tests on the endurance of eucalyptus wood when subjected to commercial uses have been under way for a long time. In the Westgate roadbed of the Los Angeles Pacific company 17 of the blue gum ties were laid about two and a half years ago. Observations recently taken by Mr. Ingham reveal practically no wear. In this connection it is interesting to note that the Santa Fe company last week received a shipment of eucalyptus ties from Tasmania, South of Australia: Tesmania is the home of the blue gum tree. Fence posts made of blue gum, red gum, gray and sugar gums have stood in the ground at the station three years, uninjured by damp soil 1909: "He was able and patient and wise; and all that he was he gave with a fullness of loyalty rarely equalled to the service of this university." I concurred in this original bill was amply manner as to permit California to compete for all highways proved and construc issues within three y adoption of this act up to the standard state highway. I wish to call pay to this matter, as it been claimed that this sion in this act proves sating counties which ly improved highway right of way of the There is more or less error because of a made in punctuation of the statutes. As originally passure and approved by vided that the only would be taken with were those not per ed under county or issues.

Reference is made to the first volume of publications of the academy of Pacific coast history. The Bancroft library is under the direction and management of the curator of the academy, and it is of far more than ordinary importance to the state containing as it does the body of the birth certificates of California. The first volume of publications of the academy including papers by members of the staff or the faculty is now printed. The provision by the native sons of the golden west of a fellowship for the study of California history opens the way to further productive utilization of this library. Great activity has prevailed during the biennium at the infirmary. Last year 2272 students recevied dispensary treatment. At the beginning of the year, when the medical examinations are in progress, five physicians have been regularly occupied, and throughout the year three physicians give a considerable portion of their time to the work of the infirmary. More general participation in college athletics is desirable. The great intercollegiate contests, says the president, "should be only the outward and final tests representative of the normal athletic life of the student body at home. If they are not based upon such a life they are vain and hollow pageants. The university does not propose to undertake the development of gladiators and other athletic specialists. It encourages athletic sports for the good of the whole student body to the end that the greatest possible number may share the full vigor of manhood." New tennis courts have therefore been provided—nine so far, and the hope is to make it twenty. The old field west of California hall is opened to intercollegiate teams. Another two and a half years ago. Observations recently taken by Mr. Ingham reveal practically no wear. In this connection it is interesting to note that the Santa Fe company last week received a shipment of eucalyptus ties from Tasmania, South of Australia. Tesmania is the home of the blue gum tree. Fence posts made of blue gum, red gum, gray and sugar gums have stood in the ground at the station three years, uninjured by damp soil and with indications that they will withstand much longer the action of the elements. More than 80 varieties of the eucalyptus tree are found growing on the station reserve, and new species are received at intervals. The four named are said to be the most desirable for commercial purposes. Recent newspaper reports that the forestry station had passed from the control of the state university, are denied by Mr. Ingham. "The station is maintained under the same auspices as ever," he says. "The state university is the authority to which I answer, to which my reports are all made." GARDEN GROVE Earl Davis of Garden Grove; aged 18, was badly cut and bruised at the Garden Grove station Saturday morning as the result of an attempt to board a moving electric car coming toward Santa Ana. Davis ran after the car, and got one hand gripped. His feet were dragged and his knees bruised. He was dragged about sixty feet, when he fell. His head hit a tie, and a deep long gash was cut. His back was sprained and he received numerous bruises. He was conscious all the time. He was cared for at the Garden Grove hotel for a while and was then taken to his home. GILLETT ON GOOD ROADS Refers to Highway Commission inennial Message Governor Gillett has favored us with a copy of his biennial message submitted to the legislature on Tuesday on the subject of good roads. The governor says: At the last session of the legislation I prepared and submitted to that body a measure providing for the issuance of $18,000,000 of bonds, for the acquisition, construction, and maintenance of a system of state highways. This bill was prepared with great care, and was drafted with an idea that it should serve as a model for future bond issues in this state. As originally introduced, the b provided that all public highways lying within the right of way of such state highway should become a part thereof without compensation being made therefor. Objection to this broad provision was made by the representatives of certain counties where highways had been constructed under bond issues, and the argument advanced that these highways recently constructed were of the same class and character of the proposed state highway; and that the counties had become indebted for the same, and that it would be unfair to compel them to transfer such highways to the state free of cost, and they should, therefore, receive some compensation therefor. I concurred in this view, and the original bill was amended in such a manner as to permit the state of California to compensate the counties for all highways permanently improved and constructed under bond issues within three years prior to the adoption of this act, and which came into the standard required of a farm land in Minnesota. Data of Census Bureau Interesting Information The average value per acre of farm land and buildings in Minnesota, as revealed by a bulletin of the census, in 1910, is stated as $46, as against $26 in 1900, a rise of $20, or 77 per cent. The average value per acre of farm land alone in 1910 was reported as $37, while in 1900 it was $21, the amount of gain being $16, or 76 per cent. Of the whole number, 155,759, of farms reported in 1910 there were 155,479 operated by white farmers and 280 by colored farmers, as compared with a total of 154,659 in 1900, of which 154,287 were conducted by white farmers and 372 by colored. The increase in the number of farms of white farmers during the decade amounted to 1192, or 0.8 per cent. The decrease in the number of the farms of colored farmers was 92, or 25 per cent. The total number of farms operated in 1910 by owners, part owners, and owners and tenants, comprising the all-owners class, was 121,802, as compared with 126,809 in 1900, a decrease of 5007, or 4 per cent. The total number conducted in 1910 by cash tenants, share tenants, and cash and share tenants, comprising the "all tenants" class, was 32,748, as against 26,755 in 1900, an increase of 5993, or 22 per cent. The total number of farms operated by managers in 1910 was 1209, as compared with 1095 in 1900, an increase of 114, or 10 per cent. The total number of farms operated by the "all owners" class constituted the County of Orange, State of California. Guy W. Holman, Plaintiff, vs. H. E. Wana-maker, Defendant.

NOTICE TO CREDITORS Estate of John G. Hilbers, deceased. Notice is hereby given by the undersigned, administrator of the estate of John G. Hilbers, deceased, to the creditors of, and all persons having claims against the said deceased, to exhibit the same with the necessary vouchers, within four months after the first publication of this notice (which publication was first made on the 15th day of December, 1910), to the said administrator of said estate, at the office of Melrose & Ames, attorneys at law, at No. 112 1-2 West Center street in Anaheim, the place where the business of said estate is transacted in the County of Orange. Dated this 15th day of December, A.D. 1910. HENRY G. HEINEMANN, Administrator of the Estate of John G. Hilbers, Deceased. IN THE SUPERIOR COURT Of the County of Orange, State of California. In the matter of the Estate of LINA ROEDER Deceased. It appearing to the Court from the petition of Fred Dettmer and Fritz Ruhmann, executors of the last will of Lina Roeder, deceased, on file herein that is necessary and would be for the advantage, benefit and best interests of the estate and those interested there-in to sell the whole of the real estate and a portion of the personal property I concurred in this view, and the original bill was amended in such a manner as to permit the state of California to compensate the counties for all highways permanently improved and constructed under bond issues within three years prior to the adoption of this act, and which came up to the standard required of a state highway. I wish to call particular attention to this matter, as it has repeatedly been claimed that there was no provision in this act providing for compensating counties which had permanently improved highways lying within the right of way of the state highway. There is more or less ecxuse for this error because of a peculiar mistake made in punctuation in the printing of the statutes. As originally passed by the legislature and approved by me, the bill provided that the only highways which would be taken without compensation were those not permanently improved under county or road district bond issues. Under the erroneous punctuation in the printed statutes this provision does not appear. I call attention to this matter so that those interpreting this law may not be misled, but will refer to the original statute as passed and approved by me and now in the office of the secretary of state. Before leaving this subject I wish to add that the bond issue as submitted to the people was correctly published, and conforms entirely with the statute as passed by the legislature and approved by the governor. An additional objection made to this bill is that there is no provision made therein for the maintenance of the highways after construction. The act does provide specifically, in the last sentence of section 8 thereof, "that all highways constructed or acquired under the provisions of this act shall be permanently maintained and controlled by the state of California." As I was largely instrumental in the submission of this act to the people, I certainly take the deepest interest in the proper construction of these highways and their maintenance thereafter by the state. Inasmuch as there must be additional legislation to provide a working system under which these roads may be constructed and maintained. I feel that it will not be deemed amiss for me The total number conducted in 1910 by cash tenants, share tenants, and cash and share tenants, comprising the "all tenants" class, was 32,748, as against 26,755 in 1900, an increase of 5993, or 22 per cent. The total number of farms operated by managers in 1910 was 1209, as compared with 1095 in 1900, an increase of 114, or 10 per cent. The total number of farms operated by the "all owners" class constituted 78 per cent of the whole number of farms in 1910 and 82 per cent in 1900; those operated by the all tenants class, 21 per cent in 1910 and 17 per cent in 1900; and those operated by managers 0.8 per cent in 1910 and 0.7 per cent in 1900. Of the total number, 121,802, of the farms operated in 1910 by the all-owners class, there were 65,744, or 54 per cent, owned free of incumbrance and 56,058, or 46 per cent, mortgaged. The census bureau has no information respecting the number of the mortgaged farms leased to tenants nor figures for 1900 available for a comparison with the 1910 data as to incumbrance. The largest per cent of increase in 1910 was in the 175 to 499 acres group, 16 per cent; next, in the 19 acres and under group, 15 per cent; and in the 500 to 999 acres group, or 13 per cent. The principal decreases for 1910, occurred in the 1000 acres and over group, amounting to 18 per cent; in the 50 to 99 acres group, 14 percent; in the 20 to 49 acres group, 10 per cent; and in the 100 to 174 acres group, 3 per cent; 500 to 999 acres, 2 per cent; those of 1000 acres and over, 0.2 per cent. The expenditures for labor in 1910 reached the sum of $22,186,000, as compared with $16,658,000 in 1900 an increase of $5,582,000, or 33 percent. The expenditures for fertilizers in 1910 was $63,000, while in 1900 it was $251,000, a decrease of $188,000, or 75 per cent. SANTA ANA Justice Smithwick decided an interesting case on Saturday, that of Feder & Co., against the Nickey Hardware Co., in favor of the plain-crease of 5007, or 4 per cent. IN THE SUPERIOR COURT Of the County of Orange, State of California. In the matter of the Estate of LINA ROEDER Deceased. It appearing to the Court from the petition of Fred Dettmer and Fritz Ruhmann, executors of the last will of Lina Roeder, deceased, on file herein, that is necessary and would be for the advantage, benefit and best interests of the estate and those interested therein to sell the whole of the real estate and a portion of the personal property of said deceased. It is therefore ordered by the Court that all persons interested in the estate of Lina Roeder, deceased, do appear before the Superior Court of Orange County, State of California, at the City of Santa Ana in said County, on Friday, January 20th, 1911, at 1 o'clock A.M. of said day, then and there to show cause, if any they have why an order should not be granted to the said executors for the sale of the real property and a portion of the personal property belonging to said estate, as prayed for in the petition by them hereinbefore filed, at private sale. It is further ordered that a copy of this order be published at least four successive weeks in the Anaheim Gazette, a weekly newspaper printed, published and circulated in said County of Orange.

Inasmuch as there must be additional legislation to provide a working system under which these roads may be constructed and maintained. I feel that it will not be deemed amiss for me to make some suggestions relative thereto. I have fully realized during my official term that the governor is held responsible for the successful performance of all public affairs, even though the execution of such affairs may be in the hands of a commission. Often his only connection with relates back to the appointment of such commission. In many instances the governor loses control over such commission after its appointment. He may give his advice, but the advice is not necessarily followed. Mince Meat is best when prepared with grape brandy.

The case grew out of the following circumstances. About a year ago a clever forger visited Santa Ana and among other places he visited was the hardware store. He made a trifling purchase and offered a $30 check. It was Saturday night and the store did not want to part with so much cash. So a check for $20 was given the man, who said his name was George Morgan, regularly signed by the company. After the man had gone, Eli Trago of the store, became suspicious and investigation showed the man to be a swindler. The hardware company ordered payment stopped on the check. But Morgan went to Los Angeles and cashed the check at Feder & Co., who received the check in good faith. It came back with payment stopped. Feder & Co. sued the Nickey company, and the case produced many fine points of law, among which was whether or not payment could be stopped on a genuine check, and a person who had accepted the check innocently of any fraudulent intent made to suffer. Judge Smithwick decided that the hardware company would have to pay the check. School children's eyes should be taken care of.
