Entered at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter. SAN DIEGO AND THE CANAL Hon. John Barrett, director general of the Pan-American union, who has sent to San Diego as the personal representative of President Taft on the occasion of the ground breaking celebration for the Panama-California international exposition, read a letter from the president to the fifty thousand visitors assembled in San Diego the import of which was very gratifying to the men who are engaged in the work of planning and building the exposition. Among other things the president said: "San Diego is so situated that she is necessarily very much interested in the opening of the Panama canal, and the fact that this exposition is to give particular attention to the relations between this country and the Central and South American countries is sufficient reason why the American public should be specially interested in its success. "I know San Diego because I have been there twice. My father and mother and sister lived there for many years, and my father died there. I appreciate the singular beauty of its situation, and the wonderful character of its climate. And all of these circumstances give me a personal interest in promoting its welfare and per cent. From 445,077 acres in 1879 wheat increased to 553,052 by 1889 to 873,379 by 1899, the maximum acreage for the period, but fell to 701,183 by 1909. The aggregate yield in 1909 was 12,401,913 bushels, of which 10,278,820 bushels was winter wheat. The average yield per acre was 18 bushels; the average value per acre $15.40. Oats during the 10-year period ending 1909 increased 77,676 acres, or 29.7 per cent. From 151,624 acres in 1879, oats rose to 218,736 in 1889, to 261,406 in 1899, and to 339,082 in 1909. The total yield in 1909 was 10,874,-196 bushels; the average yield per acre 32 bushels; the average value per acre $14.85. The gain in hops for the decade from 1899 to 1909 was 6329 acres, or 41 per cent. Starting with 304 acres in 1879, hops rose to 3130 in 1889, to 15,432 in 1899, and to 21,762 in 1909. Hence during the 30-year period hops have increased more than seventyfold. The total yield in 1909 was 16,593,-362 pounds; the average yield per acre 763 pounds; the average value per acre $130.40. During the decade prior to 1909, potatoes increased 14,206 acres, or 47.3 per cent. From 1889, when 17,965 acres were harvested, the acreage rose to 30,035 in 1899, and again to 441241 in 1909. The aggregate yield in 1909 was 4,821,705 bushels; the average yield per acre 109 bushels; the average value per acre, $47.40. For the decade ending 1909 barley showed an increase of 51,662 acres, or 85.6 per cent. From 1879, when 29,-311 acres were harvested, barley rose in 1889 to 37,722, in 1899 to 69,375, and in 1909 to 112,037. The total yield in 1909 was 2,365,722 bushels; the average yield per acre 21 bushels and the average value per acre was $13.42. The cereals had an aggregate acre- I know San Diego because I have been there twice. My father and mother and sister lived there for many years, and my father died there. I appreciate the singular beauty of its situation, and the wonderful character of its climate. And all of these circumstances give me a personal interest in promoting its welfare and helping to assure the success of an enterprise like this." Mr. Barrett, in his address, said: "Through this happy letter President Taft has conveyed a sympathetic and encouraging message to the people of San Diego, and the officials of the exposition. There is nothing, therefore, for me to say on his behalf beyond emphasizing something which is not fully embodied in the letter—and that is the real, sincere and personal interest he manifested as he discussed with me the execution of this commission and requested me to represent him, in the welfare of San Diego, in California, in the great southwest of the United States, in its relations with Latin America, and in the effect upon the Pacific nations of both North and South America of the completion of the Panama canal. It is no exaggeration to state that you can feel absolutely assured of the support and co-operation of the president, in every way consistent with his position, in making the Panama-California international exposition one of the most notable celebrations ever held in the United States." Further along in his address Mr. Barrett said: "San Diego's special invitation to Latin America should arouse the whole coast to the importance of this field. For years I have been trying to make this coast and its commercial organizations realize the potentialities of the twelve Pacific countries of Latin America. Now I see the dawn of a new day, and the light that comes up will be gloriously reflected by the Panama-California international exposition in 1915. "I have always believed that it was not only possible but a good thing to have two expositions on the Pacific coast. Both expositions will, I am sure, receive the support and co-operation, not only of the government but of the people of the United States. "Already the correspondence of the Pan-American union, which is carried on with every country of the..." "I have always believed that it was not only possible but a good thing to have two expositions on the Pacific coast. Both expositions will, I am sure, receive the support and co-operation, not only of the government but of the people of the United States. "Already the correspondence of the Pan-American union, which is carried on with every country of the world, and especially with Latin-American, shows that unique interest has been awakened in these expositions and in California, because they will be held approximately at the same time, and in the same state." OREGON'S CROPS MAKE GOOD Production Shows Increase as Per Report of Census Statistics relative to the leading crops for the state of Oregon, collected at the Thirteenth Decennial Census, April 15, 1910, are contained in an official statement issued this week by Acting Census Director Falkner. The leading crops of the state for 1909, ranked in the order of valuation were: Hay and forage $15,221,000; wheat $10,797,000 oats $5,036,000,hops $2,838,000; potatoes $2,098,000; and barley $1,507,000. Between 1899 and 1909 hay and forage showed an increase of 207,539 acres, or 28.4 per cent. From 1879, hay and forage increased to 467,061 in 1889 to 731,823 in 1899, and to 939,362 in 1909. The total yield in 1909 was 1,586,965 tons; the average yield per acre, 1.7 tons; the average value per acre $16.20. Wheat, in the decade from 1899 to 1909, decreased 172,195 acres, or 19.7 at the home of Mrs. Sydmer Ross. All women cordially invited. The central committee at Los Angeles at their regular meeting, Wednesday, August 2, recommended a week of self-denial to all men and women, beginning August 14, thus following the example of their eastern sisters who are donating the money so obtained to the suffrage cause of California. The address where to send this money will be given in next week's issue. The Days You Are Going to Spend In the Mountains and at the seashore are your days of rest. Let me sell you books to read while you are taking it easy. Jos. Helmsen Used Another Man's Legs. In the hall of the house of representatives there is a painting of George Washington. He looks a most commanding person, with the stature of a giant and a faultless physique. But looking at the portrait recently a public man commented: "That is a good deal of a sham. George Washington never looked like that, though I've no doubt he would have been proud to appear so magnificent. 'Notice the legs,' the speaker continued. 'They are perfect beauties, but they are not Washington's. They are the legs of General Smith of New Jersey, a soldier of the Revolution. "It happened this way," he explained in conclusion: "Washington had quite unimpressive legs, and the artist who painted that picture was so dissatisfied with their shape that he persuaded General Smith to lend his faultless members as models. So, while we have the face and torso of our great first president, the supporting legs are those of one of his generals. Long may they stand!"—Washington Post. Not the Answer He Expected. One of Lord Desborough's best anecdotes relates to a clergyman who was far more at home in the hunting field than in the pulpit, says London Tit-Bits. On the morning of a meet he was much annoyed at having to officiate at a funeral; but, this over, he mounted his horse and started in pursuit of his friends. On the road he sought information of an old woman with a donkey cart. "Well," she said, "if you ride to the top of the hill you will come to a 'meenister.' Then if you turn to the right you will be likely to come up with them." Handling her a shilling, he said, "My good woman, why did you call the sign post a minister?" "Why, you see, sir, it's like this: We used to call 'em sign posts, but since you've been in these parts we calls 'em meenisters.' 'cos, though they follow folks the man they never..." Death in Factory Fires. The question is often debated as to whether persons who lose their lives in a fire developing with great rapidity undergo extreme physical suffering. An authoritative opinion is expressed by the New York Medical Journal, which says: "Unnecessary anguish of mind has probably been felt by relatives of unfortunate workers killed in factory fires by reflection on the supposedly agonizing pain caused by such a death. Where a great bulk of highly inflammable substances is quickly consumed in a closed space the result is the production of large quantities of carbon monoxide. This gas, it is well known, combines with the haemogobin of the blood to form a compound that refuses to combine with oxygen. The result is a speedy and probably painless asphyxiation before the flames have had a chance to attack the bodies of the victims." Dainty Snails. The writer who qualified the snail as "soul and unclean" was guilty of a libel. Snails are most dainty feeders and strict vegetarians, as many gardeners know to their cost. Apparently three centuries ago snails were more popular in England than they are now. The fastidious author of "The Faerie Queene" gives a recipe for their preparation: With our sharp weapons we shall these fray And take the castill that thou lyeest in; We shall the flay out of thy foule skin, And in a dish, with onyons and peper, We shall the dresse with strong vyngears. —London Standard. How Gold Leaf Kills. The Chinese consul at San Francisco discussed at a dinner his country's customs. "There is one custom," said a young girl, "that I can't understand, and that is the Chinese custom of committing suicide by eating gold leaf. I can't understand how gold can kill." "The partaker, no doubt," smiled the consul, "succumbs from a consciousness of inward gilt."—Los Angeles Times. Manuscript Letters Rare. Stanton is to have a civic center. R. Halttly Meyers and others have purchased the townsite of Benedict and sixty acres more adjoining it, which will be replatted and named Stanton. Streets will be graded and macadamized, water system, electric lights, and other improvements made, building restrictions will be enforced and a modern town created. The location for this is ideal, being at the junction of the Pacific Electric, with the Southern Pacific railroad, the former connected with Los Angeles and Santa Ana, the latter with Anaheim, Los Alamitos, Westminster and the famous peatlands. Within a radius of three miles is a population of 2500 people, and over 800 property owners. It is claimed that over 90 per cent of the business of that territory which now goes to Santa Ana and Anaheim will be diverted to Stanton. The board of trustees has indorsed the town and agreed to make it the municipal headquarters. The chamber of commerce has also indorsed it and will maintain an exhibit of the products of the section there. Thus far fourteen ordinances have been adopted by the city. The board of trustees will sit as a board of equalization August 14th, and it is expected that there will be no increase in the tax levy over last year, but the saving in state tax, by reason of amendment No. 1, and county road tax, will put several thousand dollars in the city treasury for local improvements. POINTS ON SANITATION Where Ounce of Prevention is Worth Pound of Cure The human body is built of many minute cells. The cells are alive. When the cells are in health, the body is health, and when the cells are dead the body is dead. The cells must have food and oxygen, and they must not be poisoned or injured in any way, or they will die. Disease germs cause sickness and death by poisoning the cells. Disease germs kill more than half the human race. These germs are all very small plants or animals, and they spring only from another germ of the same kind. Almost a' the germs that attack us come from the bodies of sick persons; therefore, the most important rule for the prevention of germ disease is, destroy the germs that come from the bodies of the sick.

PETRIFIED FOREST President Taft has signed a proclamation reducing the area of the Petrified Forest National Park, Arizona, from ninety-five to forty square miles. This reduction is made on recommendation of Dr. George P. Morrill, head curator of geology of the national museum, who has just made an examination of the land for the interior department. He says that outside of the new boundaries there is practically nothing worth preserving. Two large tracts within the park were also marked off by Dr. Merrill from which museums and others, authorized by the secretary of the interior, may take specimens of the silicified woods. FISHERMAN'S LUCK The lady bather had got into a hole, and she could not swim. Nor could the young man on the end of the pier; but when she came up for the first time and he caught sight of her face he shrieked: "Help." A burly fisherman sauntered to his side. "Wot's up?" he hoarsely cried. "My wife. Drowning. I can not swim. Twenty pounds for you if you save her." In a moment the fisherman was in the sea. In another moment he was out of it, with the rescued lady bather. Swelling with expectation he approached the young man again. "Well, what about the twenty-quid?" he asked. But if the young man's face had been ashen grey before, it was now deadly pale as he gazed upon the features of the recovering dame. "Y-e-s, I know," he gasped. "But when I made the offer I thought it was my wife who was drowning,and now—now it turns out it was my wife's mother." The fisherman pulled a long face. "Just my luck," he muttered, as he thrust his hand into his trousers pocket. "How much do I owe you." Read The Gazette for local news. How Gold Leaf Kills.

"I have told my constituents that I regarded myself as a servant of the people," said Senator Sorghum. "Yes," replied Farmer Corntossel. "but you want to keep people from gettin' an idea that you're one of these servants who are always on the lookout fur tips."—Washington Star. A Weather Prophet. "Now, Mrs. Brown, I have pinned up your new almanac." "Oh, thank 'ee, miss, thank 'ee, but my corns tell me the weather far better than any of they're almanacks!"—London Opinion. In the Barnyard. "Look how queerly that hen is acting. Do you think she is hatching a plot?" "No; I think she is plotting a hatch."—Baltimore American. Industry keeps the body healthy, the mind clear, the heart whole and the purse full.—Simmons. Disease germs kill more than half the human race. These germs are all very small plants or animals, and they spring only from another germ of the same kind. Almost a' the germs that attack us come from the bodies of sick persons; therefore, the most important rule for the prevention of germ disease is, destroy the germs that come from the bodies of the sick. As germs enter the body through wound, the nose and the mouth, take care of wounds (i.e., keep them all clean and in condition to heal), protect yourself from biting or germ-carrying insects, and guard the nose and mouth. The body possesses a germicidal-power that should not be permitted to run low. Alcohol lessens the power of the body to kill germs. No drugs are half so efficient as a healthy body in destroying disease germs.

APPEALED FOR INSTRUCTION "Gentlemen of the jury," said the judge, "if the evidence shows in your minds that pneumonia was the cause of the man's death, the prisoner cannot be convicted." An hour later a messenger came from the jury room. "The gentlemen of the jury, my lord," he said, "desire information." "On what point of evidence?" "None, my lord; they want to know how to spell 'pneumonia.'" Rex Badley is spending a 10-days' vacation at various beach resorts. Mrs. W. M. Rose and two daughters, Norma and Hazel, leave in a few days for Michigan, where they will spend several months with relatives. Unable to agree upon a verdict, a jury that heard the evidence in the suit of E. L. House against the Pacific Electric was discharged in the superior court at Santa Ana Monday. House sued for $6385 damages because of a flood of January 1, 1910. He alleged the company's bridge near Santa Ana turned the river. The jury stood six to six. Read The Gazette for local news.
