Clarke of the Oregon, in the sprint of that vessel around the horn, did not see the yellow newspapers which gave utterance to such direful forebodings relative to what that imaginary squadron of Spanish cruisers would do to him if they caught him off Bahia. Perhaps he did not, to be sure. But if he had, what difference would it have made? In the first place, there was no Spanish squadron within 4000 miles of him, if we except Carvera's, and the latter gentleman was busy enough in jackrabbiting in the Caribbean; with the demons of the American navy at his heels. In the next place, the Oregon was probably able at that moment to sink the entire Spanish navy. This matchless vessel of a dozen years ago is now retired, and gives place to larger and more powerful battleships. When war broke out, the United States had only four battleships, with the Ore- LOCAL-OPTION BILL The legislature has passed the Wyllie local-option bill as reported from the free conference, making supervisor districts the unit of elections to determine whether such districts shall be wet or dry. The bill as it originally passed the assembly provided for a county unit, but it was amended in the senate, and townships made the unit. To this amendment the assembly would not agree, and the bill went finally to a free conference, which adopted the supervisor district unit, and this was ultimately adopted by both branches of the legislature. The bill as we write is in the hands of the governor. He will probably sign it. The measure provides that when twenty-five per cent of the voters voting at the preceding general election petition the supervisors to call an election to determine whether liquor shall be sold or not, the supervisors must call such an election. If a majority vote is cast against license, no liquor shall be thereafter sold in such district. Incorporated cities, being political subdivisions by themselves, are not affected by such vote in supervisor districts, but the bill otherwise affects them in all its provisions. For instance, 25 per cent of the voters may petition the city trustees to call such election, and thereupon such election must be called. If the vote be against license, the incorporated town goes dry. AN EARLY-DAY CATERER There died in Los Angeles some days ago Victor Dol, thirty years ago classification of coal.

In the next place, the Oregon was probably able at that moment to sink the entire Spanish navy. This matchless vessel of a dozen years ago is now retired, and gives place to larger and more powerful battleships. When war broke out, the United States had only four battleships, with the Oregon in Pacific waters. Today the nation has built and building near half a hundred mighty battleships and armored cruisers. Perhaps Clarke did not see these yellow newspapers, but could he have done so they would probably have provoked nothing more than a smile. Nor did he see the rantings of the yellows regarding the Temerario. One Los Angeles paper said the American people were "sweating blood" because of the presence of the Spanish torpedo-boat at Montevideo. Yet the Yankee tar, all oblivious of the danger, which lurked only in the mind of those misinformed newspapers, steamed boldly on, throwing his searchlight down upon the Spaniard and commanding not to budge or he should be compelled to sink her to the bottom. Clarke coaled his ship, and after a stay of two days steam-ed on his way, his flashlight still enveloping the frightened Spanishman. At close of hostilities, a laugh went up around the world when it became known that the Temerario, like many other boats in the Spanish navy, was unseaworthy and all but water-logged. But Clarke was prepared for eventualities. Doubtless, he heard, while at Montevideo, of the evil reports emanating from Bahia, yet with lights out, running fast, his vessel stripped for action, he turned the cape unmolested, and sped away to the goal where duty called. Perhaps he did not see the papers, but his head and heart were right, and so were those of the Yankee tars about him. MORE YELLOW HUMBUG The yellow daily press which we seem to have always with us, publishes this morsel for the edification of its readers: "Count Ernest Stone Von Reventlow, the noted German strategist,and military writer, declares that the American naval base in the Philippines is an intolerable menace to Japan. AN EARLY-DAY CATERER There died in Los Angeles some days ago Victor Dol, thirty years ago the best-known caterer in Southern California. His Commercial restaurant, situated in the Downey block, was the rendezvous of bon vivants from all over the southland, and the young men of Anaheim frequently drove into the city for a dinner at Dol's much as they now take a train for a theater party. The drive consumed three hours, and the return trip was made in the small hours of the morning. The dining-rooms were located back from the main street, and adjoining them was a spacious court where a fountain played. In the early 70's, during the Booth campaign, a coachload of fifteen men drove up from this city to attend the meeting, and incidentally to dine at Dol's. A platform was erected in front of the old Lafayette hotel, on upper Main, and bonfires blazed in the streets. Of the party only three are yet living. Los Angeles was then a rock-ribbed democratic county, but Booth was elected governor. Later the county turned into the banner republican county of the state. Dol's meals attracted wide attention throughout the state, and visitors dinned there from all parts of the southwest. He amassed a fortune, although his prices were ridiculously low as compared with present-day charges at first-class hotels and restaurants. UNCLE SAM'S COAL LANDS Million of Acres of Rich Deposits in Western States Over seventy million acres of coal land in the West is still owned by Uncle Sam. The coal content of this land is enormous; it can be figured only in hundreds of billions of tons. Some tracts are of immense value, containing beds of coal of the highest grade, 30, 40, 50, and even 80 feet or more in thickness. The old way was to sell the coal land, regardless of value, at the absurd figure of $10 an acre if it was more than 15 districts, but the bill otherwise affects them in all its provisions. For instance, 25 per cent of the voters may petition the city trustees to call such election, and thereupon such election must be called. If the vote be against license, the incorporated town goes dry. NEWS AND PAPER Take your watch pairing to Theo. It only first-class work. The "Get-Acquaint M. E.

He says the supremacy of the Pacific is necessary for the life of Japan and that Japanese statesmen, realizing this, are preparing to strike soon. He further said: "It is undenied in all quarters that Japan is preparing for an aggressive war with America. Japan realizes that she must command the Chinese market, and that America is her greatest rival, also that when the Panama canal is completed, it will give America a decided advantage. "The Japanese plans for conquest provide for the seizure of the Philippines, Hawaii and American possessions in Samoa and the Island of Guam. The capture of these bases would render the most formidable American fleet helpless." An intolerable menace to Japan indeed. And if Japan, in possession of these islands, would render the most formidable American fleet helpless, how much more is Japan at our mercy, with those conditions reversed? Japan is not seeking self-destruction, even if things as they are have become intolerable to the island kingdom. Publication of these wild rumors subserve no good purpose. Have not these yellow dallies a waste basket, or is it already full to overflowing? Take your watch and jewelry repairing to Theo. Roberts. He does only first-class work. Western States Over seventy million acres of coal land in the West is still owned by Uncle Sam. The coal content of this land is enormous; it can be figured only in hundreds of billions of tons. Some tracts are of immense value, containing beds of coal of the highest grade, 30, 40, 50, and even 80 feet or more in thickness. The old way was to sell the coal land, regardless of value, at the absurd figure of $10 an acre if it was more than 15 miles from a railroad or at $20 within that limit. The present way is to measure the coal in an acre and sell the land at a price determined by the content of coal. As a result coal land has been priced as high as $400 an acre and one tract is quoted at even $600 an acre. Since March 4, 1909, the geological survey has classified, by 40 acre tracts, 8,527,166 acres of the government coal lands, at a total valuation of $560,815,081. Including the work done under the last administration a total of 13,480,538 acres has now been classified as coal land, at a valuation of $637,619,418. At the $10 to $20 minimum rate these lands would have a valuation of $218,289,942, so that the work done has resulted in a gain to the government of nearly $420,000,000. It may be noted that the proceeds of coal land sales are all deposited to the credit of the "reclamation fund"—the fund that pays for the construction of the government's vast water storage projects. The work involved in the classification and valuation of the nation coal fields is immense and the scheme under which it has been worked out is remarkably accurate and scientific. The best evidence of its accuracy is the ready acceptance of the estimates and valuations by purchasers of coal lands and the fact that the geological survey is constantly receiving applications and petitions for the NEWS AND Take your watch pairing to Theo.

As a result of geologic field examinations this administration has also withdrawn 62,140,548 acres of probable coal land and has restored to agricultural entry 18,777,756 acres of noncoal land, which had been withdrawn from entry pending the geological survey's determination of its character. A single Montana withdrawal, made last July, included 20,208,865 acres. The amount of coal contained in this area is almost incredibly great. A single 40 acre tract, for example, contains over two and a half million tons of coal. The present outstanding withdrawals awaiting geological classification aggregate 80,007,688 acres. Another public fuel resource in the conservation of which the administration is taking an active interest is oil. Many of the public land states are underlain by deposits of petroleum, with which natural gas is frequently associated. Two years ago the geological survey reported to the national conservation commission the oil contained in the California deposits alone amounted to eight and a half billion barrels, and this estimate is now declared to be moderate. Careful geologic examination has been made of the western oil fields and 3,796,572 acres of public oil land have been withdrawn from entry in California, Oregon, Wyoming, Utah, New Mexico, Colorado, and Louisiana. These withdrawals are made in aid of proposed legislation, for the present gold-placer law under which oil or gas land must be acquired is absolutely inadequate and provides no means by which the government can retain an oil supply for the navy, every new ship of which is now equipped with oil furnaces.

MERCHANTS ASSOCIATION Members of the Anaheim Retail Merchants' Association will please take notice that a joint meeting of the members of Anaheim Retail Merchants' Association and the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce will take place on Monday evening, March 27, 1911, at 8 p.m., in Library Building to vote on the proposed Merger of the above named bodies under the name of "Board of Trade," elect officers, adopt by-laws, and transact such other business as may properly come before the meeting. J. Frederick Ahlborn, Secretary Anaheim Retail Merchants' Association. MEMBERS OF CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. Members of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce will please take notice that a joint meeting of members of been made of the western oil fields and 3,796,572 acres of public oil land have been withdrawn from entry in California, Oregon, Wyoming, Utah, New Mexico, Colorado, and Louisiana. These withdrawals are made in aid of proposed legislation, for the present gold-placer law under which oil or gas land must be acquired is surdly inadequate and provides no means by which the government can retain an oil supply for the navy, every new ship of which is now equipped with oil-burning furnaces. Withdrawals of water power sites on public lands by the geological survey in aid of proposed legislation have included thousands of sites. The withdrawals made during the last two years cover 161 streams in 12 states and aggregate 1,403,054 acres. Even the classification of agricultural land in the west has devolved upon the geological survey, which during the last two years has designated 186,005,858 acres as nonirrigable and thus subject to entry under the enlarged homestead act. The geological survey has contributed most notably to the farming interests in connection with the discovery and classification of phosphate lands. Phosphate is as necessary a plant food as potash. The world's supply of phosphate is very small, but fortunately the largest known deposits have been recently discovered in the public-land states of this country. As the result of careful geologic examination 2,548,145 acres of phosphate land are now withdrawn from entry awaiting legislation to safeguard them from monopoly, and another area recently discovered to be underlain with this mineral resource will soon be withdrawn. These lands include several areas discovered by survey geologists. The lands withdrawn are in Montana, Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, and Florida. The areas of public mineral lands of all kinds now withdrawn are given below, in acres: Coal 80,007,688, oil and gas 3,796,-573, water power 1,403,054, phosphate 2,548,145.
