Many men of prominence are actively aiding in the work. Professor Robert B. Harshe of Leland Stanford university, who is now in the east securing collections of paintings for the palace of art of the exposition, contemplates leaving for the art centers of Europe shortly, with a view to gathering the best in sculpture, paintings, handicraft and architectural drawings, for exhibition at the exposition. His efforts thus far have been crowned with success. No only has he been promised the loan of choicest art treasures by dealers in the east, but he has been assured that T. B. Walker of Minneapolis, Charles Freer of Detroit, J. Pierpont Morgan and James J. Hill will send their collections for exhibition in this city. He has also been given assurances that the Lotus club collection, the Evans collection, and the Hearn collection, which occupies three rooms in the Metropolitan museum in New York will be sent here. ARE YOU A STICK-TIGHT? Correspondent Takes Gloomy View of Woman Suffrage Editor Gazette.—The following communication was received at the headquarters of the anti-suffrage association in Los Angeles a few days ago: Could the anti-suffragists hear all the remarks by the men who were chased, haunted, and buttonholed by the frantic suffragists at Luna Park last Saturday, they would be more jubilant than ever. I wish we could ask every man the following questions: 1st—Would you like your wife or daughter to make a public nuisance of themselves in that way? 2d—Do you think any more of a eighteen months may reasonably be allowed to take up specific regulations, or the government of less congress taking "doing politics" a tention to this imminently in the next session? A sorry spectacle Shippers are already know the rates of and other details of the canal, and this desired infusion when it actual use. ITALY SLIPP Produces More Worlcia, and Shoppers Americans in great of their country, finite faith in it more than a little every day about them and comparisons being drawn between other nations and California and other nuts in any quantity give the palm as to Italy. An industrious ascertained that one small spot nuts as all California other countries are 440 tons of unshelled nuts, 162 tons of shelled nuts, it worth $485,732, said $1,739,300. Ita States 8400 tons age. Besides those of filberts, almond exported to the Governor Hiram W. Johnson and the state Panama-Pacific international exposition commission, which is composed of Chester Rowell of Fresno, Marshall Stimpson of Los Angeles, Robert C. Rogers of Santa Barbara, and Matt I. Sullivan, will be invited by the directors to participate in all receptions and functions given in honor of the chief executive of the nation during his stay in San Francisco. Allan Pollok was appointed comptroller of the Panama-Pacific exposition at a meeting of the board of directors. Mr. Pollok will have general supervision over the employes of the fair, and will also have charge of the engaging of office assistants, as well as keeping a close watch over the disbursements in the various departments. Pollok is well-known to the residents of this city. He was elected supervisor on the Taylor ticket and served two years as one of the city fathers during Mayor Taylor's administration. When Pollok came to his coast, in company with his brother, he went to San Diego and resided there four or five years. He was owner of the San Diego Daily Union, the leading newspaper of that city. On coming to this city, he was connected for a short time with the Chronicle, and subsequently became the assistant manager of the Palace hotel, remaining in that position for ten years. He organized, equipped and opened the St. Francis hotel. He was for four years general manager of the San Francisco gas and electric company, and, after the fire, brought out the Thompson-Starratt construction company of New York. He organized the branch in this city, and the company constructed twenty-two class-A buildings in San Francisco. It also constructed the First National bank building in Oakland, and the Sacramento and Suisun court houses. The Grape growers association of California, at its recent meeting, adopted a resolution directing the chairman and secretary to communicate with the board of directors of the exposition, with a view to holding a joint meeting for the purpose of considering the great importance of viticulture as an industry in this state, and to discuss tentative plans for a magnificent spectacle and display at the great exposition in 1915. The following committee was appointed by the association: Could the anti-suffrage association in Los Angeles a few days ago: 1st—Would you like your wife or daughter to make a public nuisance of themselves in that way? 2d—Do you think any more of a woman who makes a sticktight of herself to such an extent that your only escape is to let her think you agree with her? 3d—Do you approve of the influence of such actions upon our young women and girls? These women who are rushing around in such a pell-mell fashion remind one of Carrie Nation starting out for a great reform when she could not conduct or maintain a happy home of her own. I heard the wife of an ex-senator of Colorado say not long ago, that when women voted in California there would be more divorces there than there are now. One of the warmest days we have had this season a woman came to my door and asked if she could have my views on the suffrage question. I told her she certainly could — and they were: that if women performed well and faithfully the duties Nature prescribed to them long ago I thought they would bring about a greater reform than they could by making a public nuisance of themselves and demanding the so-called "rights" of the ballot. The only argument that she seemed able to call to mind from the list of arguments given her by the suffrage headquarters, was that she was not to blame for being born a woman and that she was "going to have a vote." I think it is a vital question as to what influence and effect the manner in which these agitators after "votes for women" force themselves upon the attentions of men, will have upon the young girls of our homes. What can we expect but the filling of our reform schools and detention homes, when the young women and girls witness and watch the leaders of the suffrage movement approach strange men, married or single, in the way they do? Anti Stick-Tight. THE PANAMA CANAL Four-Fifths Complete and Will Be The Grape growers association of California, at its recent meeting, adopted a resolution directing the chairman and secretary to communicate with the board of directors of the exposition, with a view to holding a joint meeting for the purpose of considering the great importance of viticulture as an industry in this state, and to discuss tentative plans for a magnificent spectacle and display at the great exposition in 1915. The following committee was appointed by the association: E. H. Kittredge, P. O. Rossi and H. F. Stoll of San Francisco, M. F. Tarpey of Fresno, Secondo Gusti of Los Angeles, and E. M. Sheehan of Sacramento. At a recent meeting of the board of directors of the exposition, the lease of the MacGregor building at Battery and Pine streets, which will be the official headquarters of the exposition during the next five years, was signed. Steps are now being taken by the exposition management to move from the present quarters in the Merchants Exchange building to the new building. Word was received at headquarters that, in the event of the adoption of the woman suffrage amendment in this state, the national American woman suffrage association, and its auxiliaries, the friends equal rights association, and the equal franchise society, of which Mrs. Clarence Mackay is president, will hold a celebration in San Francisco in 1915 during the progress of the exposition. Dr. A. H. Shaw, president of the national association, said: If California can only free its women this year, it can depend upon the support of the world all over in its big exposition. We will get up the greatest kind of a boom for it, and I do not know anything which could do upon the young girls of our homes. What can we expect but the filling of our reform schools and detention-homes, when the young women and girls witness and watch the leaders of the suffrage movement approach strange men, married or single, in the way they do? Anti Stick-Tight. THE PANAMA CANAL Four-Fifths Complete and Will Be Ready for Business in 1912 Official reports from the canal zone show that four-fifths of this gigantic waterway which is destined to revolutionize the commerce of the world is already completed, so far as excavation is concerned, and from present indications the big ditch will be completed during the latter part of 1912 or early in the following year. The following facts gleaned from the Canal Record, published by the government commission, will prove interesting: The grand total of canal excavation to August 1st was 145,486,536 cubic yards, leaving to be excavated 41,727,508 cubic yards, or less than one-fourth of the entire amount for the completed canal. These figures are in accord with the new estimate of July 1, 1911, when 4,676,278 cubic yards were added to the estimate of July, 1910, to include material in the slides in the banks of Culebra Cut, making the total excavation for the entire canal 187,214,044 cubic yards. The total for July was 2,518,982 cubic yards, as compared with 2,406,288 cubic yards in July, 1911, and 2,843,-260 cubic yards in July, 1909. All the excavation was "work excavation," there being no "plant excavation." Notwithstanding the fact that only ANAHEIM GAZETTE eighteen months remain before it may reasonably be expected the canal will be ready for use, congress has failed to take up the matter of specific regulations, fixing tolls, etc., for the government of ship owners. Unless congress takes a respite from "doing politics" and gives some attention to this important matter early in the next session it will present a sorry spectacle as a business body. Shippers are already demanding to know the rates of toll to be charged, and other details regulating the use of the canal, and the time to give out this desired information is rapidly nearing when it will be required for actual use. ITALY SLIPS ONE OVER Produces More Walnuts Than California, and Ships Many Here Americans in general are so proud of their country, and have such infinite faith in its resources, that more than a little bragging is done every day about these same resources; and comparisons are constantly being drawn between the penury of other nations and our wealth. But California and other states that raise nuts in any quantity will have to give the palm as regards that product to Italy. An industrious investigator has just ascertained that Italy exports from one small spot twice as many walnuts as all California produces. To other countries alone are shipped 4,440 tons of unshelled walnuts and 14,162 tons of shelled walnuts. The unshelled nuts, it is estimated, are worth $485,732, and the shelled nuts $1,739,300. Italy sends the United States 8400 tons per year on an average. Besides this, great quantities of filberts, almonds and chestnuts are exported to the United States each BIBLE INSTITUTE Young Men and Women May Fit Themselves for Christian Work It will be of interest to the people of California and the coast, to know that the Bible Institute of Los Angeles has called as Dean of the Faculty the world renowned Bible teacher and evangelist, Dr. R. A. Torrey. Through the splendid service of Dr. Torrey the Moody institute of Chicago became the greatest school of its kind in the world. Dr. Torrey will bring to the Los Angeles institute the result of years of experience as an educator and the prestige of worldwide success as an evangelist. The institute is planning for a great building and dormitories and has become an important factor in the aggressive christian life of the state. The institute has called to its musical department Professor L.L. Peckham of Chicago, who has had large experience in chorus leading, voice culture, etc. The school is open to all young men and women who desire to fit themselves for Christian service for home or foreign work. There are no charges for tuition. All of the advantages being placed at the disposal of the student absolutely without charge. Any young man or woman of good moral character properly recommended is welcome. The institute is carrying on an aggressive work in many departments, having a Spanish mission open every day and night, a work among the men in shops and factories, house visitation by bible women, classwork in the suburban towns and cities, evangelistic work among the young people of the state and two men giving their time to men upon the oilfields. Over two thousand different people were in weekly attendance upon the different classes last year. Full information will be given upon appli- of slope also determine the form of the water table—that is, of the upper limit of saturation. Except where the surface is flat the water table is generally not parallel with the surface; it is almost invariably farther from the surface on the summits of hills and mountains and nearest to it in valleys and along the coast, reaching the surface in the swamps and along rivers, lakes and beaches. The surface of the water table is always in motion, its higher portions flowing toward the lowest outlets along rivers or the sea. This direction of flow explains why fresh water is usually found when a well is dug in a sandy beach. THE FASCINATING WOMAN Many of the most fascinating women, women whose fame has outlived them by some thousands of years, would not have been called beautiful by their dearest friends or deadliest enemies, if they had any. Wherein lay the secret of their power? A fascinating woman gives herself up absolutely and entirely to the people in whose company she happens to be thrown. Her own sorrows and joys are thrust into the background, while she listens attentively to the joys and sorrows of others. A good listener is always appreciated. There are so many people who are willing to talk, but, alas, so few who are willing to listen. She makes a point of finding out the subject of paramount interest to the person whom she is with, and she discusses that subject, or, to be more accurate, lets him discuss it while she listens. If her companion is interested in agriculture she lets him talk agriculture, drinking in every word that falls from his lips with a look of rapt attention, even though she is ascertained that Italy exports from one small spot twice as many walnuts as all California produces. To other countries alone are shipped 4-440 tons of unshelled walnuts and 14-162 tons of shelled walnuts. The unshelled nuts, it is estimated, are worth $485,732, and the shelled nuts $1,739,300. Italy sends the United States 8400 tons per year on an average. Besides this, great quantities of filberts, almonds and chestnuts are exported to the United States each year from European countries. In 1908 we paid for European grown nut of all kinds, $37,354,088, in 1909, $31,110,683, and in 1910, $37,423,827. All of which goes o show that there is a great chance for the nut grower in this country, and especially in this state, where climatic and soil conditionos favor the raising of these trees. California does well to produce 500 tons or more of walnuts a year, but when the state is finally settled and intensive horticulture and agriculture is practiced here as in the older countries, California will have a much larger tonnage to show than that of Italy. SPRAYING FOR CITRUS FRUIT INSECTS Spraying which is the main reliance for the control of most insects of deciduous trees has never been quite satisfactory with the citrus tree. On account of the dense foliage of the citrus tree it is very difficult to reach all its parts, and since there is no dormant period, the application of insecticides sufficiently strong to kill all stages of the insects is not permissible. Formerly, spraying in the citrus belt was more widely practiced than at present. Spraying has lost ground chiefly for the reason that growers have come to more generally believe in the better efficiency of fumigation. Spraying came into ill-repute also through the injury due to the old distillate spray, which not only spotted the fruit, but dropped the leaves in many cases. In spite of the fact that, as a general practice under all conditions, spraying is out of the question, it still has a limited place in the control of citrus scales. Eightenn thousand dollars is expended annually for spraying citrus trees in Riverside and San Bernardino counties. If there is a uniform hatch of black scale, and they are all small, there is no doubt but that a thorough sprayinog will keep them in check. But in the case of the purple scale, with eggs alwaysgressive work in many departments, having a Spanish mission open every day and night, a work among the men in shops and factories, house visitation by bible women, classwork in the suburban towns and cities, evangelistic work among the young people of the state and two men giving their time to men upon the oilfields. Over two thousand different people were in weekly attendance upon the different classes last year. Full information will be given upon application to the superintendent, T. C. Horton. ORIGIN OF CERTAIN NAMES Valley Forge; village in Chester county, Pa., so named because it is situated at the mouth of Valley Creek, where a forge was erected by Isaac Potts before the revolution. Wheeling; city in Ohio county, W. Va., from the Indian, weal-ink, meaning "place of a human head," from the circumstance of the Indians having displaced the head of a white man on a pole at this point. Another authority gives whilink, "at the head of the river." Yankee; this name with various suffixes forms the name of many places in the United States. The name is a corruption of the Massachusetts Indian pronunciation of the word "English" (Yengeese), and was bestowed upon the inhabitants of New England by the people of Virginia when they refused to aid them in a war with the Cherokees, it meaning to them "cowards." After the battle of Bunker Hill the people of New England, having established a reputation for bravery, accepted the name. OUR UNDERGROUND WATERS Water is found in some amount in all formations below the earth's surface, from the loosest and most porous sands and gravels to the hardest slate and granite. Amount varies from the merest trace chemically combined in the molecules of the rocks to immense reservoirs which supply wells flowing hundreds of thousands of gallons a day. Some waters are so pure that a refined chemical analysis shows only minute traces of organic and mineral matter; others are so heavily charged with minerals or other impurities as to be unsuitable for use. The slope of the surface at any point is one factor determining the amount of water absorbed by the ground. The direction and amount are so many people who are willing to talk, but, alas, so few who are willing to listen. She makes a point of finding out the subject of paramount interest to the person whom she is with, and she discusses that subject, or, to be more accurate, lets him discuss it while she listens. If her companion is interested in agriculture she lets him talk agriculture, drinking in every word that falls from his lips with a look of rapt attention, even though she is bored to death. "Really." "How interesting," and numerous other expressions of a similar nature fall from her lips at the right time and in the right place. So that when he leaves her he takes away with him the impression that she is the cleverest woman he has ever met—"Knows all about agriculture, by Jove, and was most interested in one or two little things I told her." The fact that she knew nothing whatever about agriculture, but had simply listened while he talked, would never for one moment occur to him. A lawyer made a hard fight for a client who was charged with stealing $16.50 from the cash drawer of a saloon, and succeeded in having him acquitted. "Now," he said,"how are you going to raise some money for me for getting you out of this?" The defendant grinned in the bland manner of the innocent. "I've still got that sixteen-fifty," he said. "You infernal scoundrel," exclaimed Johnson, "I thought you were innocent. Hand it right over." A sight-seeing visitor recently went aboard a tramp steamer in the harbor. Noting that the deckhands were Chinese, she approached one of them and said, "You no speak English?" The Chinaman looked-bored and answered nothing. The lady continued, "Me go your country soon. Me learn speak Chinese, teach little Chinese boy and girl. You savvy 'missionary'?" The Chinaman looked at her a minute and answered, "Madam, if you are not more successful in mastering our language than you appear to have been with your own I fear that your attempt to enlighten our race will prove anything but satisfactory. Good afternoon." The Chinaman sought the other side of the ship and the woman sought oblivion. She had been addressing a Yale graduate who was working his passage back to China. In spite of the fact that, as a general practice under all conditions, spraying is out of the question, it still has a limited place in the control of citrus scales. Eightenn thousand dollars is expended annually for spraying citrus trees in Riverside and San Bernardino counties. If there is a uniform hatch of black scale, and they are all small, there is no doubt but that a thorough sprayinog will keep them in check. But in the case of the purple scale, with eggs always likely to be present very poor results may be expected. The principal field for spraying is in the case of young trees infested with the black scale or a few trees about the dooryard, where it is often difficult to get the work done by fumigation. The objection formerly held in regard to the injury to the tree and fruit no longer occurs with the lighter grade of oil used. The distillate was a 28 deg. gravity oil, and was used at a strength of 2 per cent. The oil hat is now in most general use is a cheap grade of ordinary kerosene. This is used at a strength of 10 per cent, the formula being as follows: Kerosene or water white oil, 20 gallons; water, 200 gallons. This is applied only with a power outfit with a good agitator which is necessary to make a mechanical mixture of the oil and water. Where there are but a few small trees, and a hand outfit is to be used, kerosene emulsion may be substituted. The formula 's as follows: Kerosene 1 gallon, soap 1-2 pound; Water 15 gallons. Dissolve soap in a gallon of hot water, add 1 gallon of kerosene, and mix by turning nozzle of spray pump back into mixture, and then dilute to make 15 gallons.
