IS BOOSTING THE STATE
Showing Advantages of California for Home Seekers
"California has room for every man who will work."
"Charley" Fee, Californian first and passenger traffic manager of the Southern Pacific railroad company second, thus summarized the need of California in a recent conversation with a group of business men of the state. Advancement of the interests of the land of sunshine and dollars to the pinnacle among the other states of the nation to which she is properly entitled was the subject that had brought the men together.
"Development of the community spirit among the people of the state until they present one solid front is needed to secure the best results," said Mr. Fee, "and that is what we all must strive to bring about. We men of the Southern Pacific have learned as have thousands of others in California, that advertising is the best way to secure men of brains and brawn, who have a little capital, to come here and settle, and we also have discovered that one of the best ways to advertise for the right sort of men is at the Land shows like those held in Chicago and Omaha.
"The results obtained at these expositions last year are sending us back there this fall, and we want to take California with us. Not as she went last year, in scattered communities, but as a united state. We have proved the results to be obtained, now we intend to reap the harvest, and California will reap it with us. The railroad will be represented with lecture halls, where we will set forth by lecturers and by moving picture and stereopticon the advantages to be gained from a residence here."
The people of California and the sented because the state as a whole had not awakened to the significance of such exhibitions. Many counties had exhibits and mighty fine ones, but there was no spirit of unity. And yet on California day the people of Chicago forced their way into the big Coliseum, where the United States Land and Irrigation Exposition was holding this exhibit and clamored for a sight of the wonderful products. It was the biggest day of the two weeks, and the carload of fruit given away was one of the best advertisements the state ever had.
"When the Southern Pacific saw that the movement to tell that part of the east what California was doing had not taken hold as it should we turned in to remedy it by undertaking to cement the whole state display with a general exhibit supported by lectures on California illustrated by stereopticon slides and motion pictures. True, that was a big advertisement for the Southern Pacific, but it was a bigger one for the state.
"This year the manner of exhibiting should be changed. We want the state as a whole to come in. We want every town and every community from Del Norte to San Diego to come with us. If those who take exhibit space will send their exhibits to me I will see that they are carried free of all charges to Chicago. We would like to do more, but cannot because of the restrictions of the interstate commerce law.
"It makes no difference whether these exhibits come from communities along our line or not, we will handle them free. We are for the state as a whole and we want to see it prosper.
"There is a very natural reason for this. Our interests are identical with those of every person in the state. In the prosperity of California and Californians lies our prosperity. Of course we increase our business, but it is only by increasing the business of the people of California for war and navy manpower."
As a commissioner in the exposition to be held Diego in 1915, Curtiss director General Collier, the most complete colonial nautical apparatus and brought together. He a complete history of ment of the art and tion from the time of in dirigible balloons land-air machines, type of development done this he will gather planes from every part France, Germany and Italy.

We have proved the results to be obtained, now we intend to reap the harvest, and California will reap it with us. The railroad will be represented with lecture halls, where we will set forth by lecturers and by moving picture and stereopticon the advantages to be gained from a residence here.
"The people of California and the men of the Southern Pacific have had their misunderstandings in the past. Some of our moves have been criticized, but time has shown that what was done was for the permanent good of the state. Today, I am glad to say that there is a better spirit shown on both sides. Now is the psychological time to get together for the interests of all.
"I am a Californian first and a Southern Pacific man second. My home is here; and it is highly gratifying to me that Californians are coming to a realization of the fact that the Southern Pacific has the state's best interests at heart. California has produced the greatest railroad men in the world. She has sent them to the east and other parts of the west, and they have made good wherever they have gone. They have built roads where other men have said roads could not be built.
"Our railroad was the first to send its agents to Europe to seek out the best men and bring them to California to make their homes. We brought winegrowers that planted vineyards and helped build up the great grape industry of the state. We brought fruit growers and other tillers of the soil.
"A conservative estimate of the number of families we have brought into California is over 250,000," said Mr. Fee. "Government statistics show that each family is worth $3000 to the commonwealth in which it resides. That means that we have added from this source alone $750,000,000 to the state's resources, because these were permanent residents.
"There are in this state millions of acres of land that will grow just as bountiful crops as any land in the state, but there is lack of people to thoroughly till the soil. The lands of California that today are worth as high as $1000 an acre were not worth more than $5 a comparatively few years ago. It is the railroads and the speedy transportation that they give, together with increas-
"It makes no difference whether these exhibits come from communities along our line or not, we will handle them free. We are for the state as a whole and we want to see it prosper.
"There is a very natural reason for this. Our interests are identical with those of every person in the state. In the prosperity of California and Californians lies our prosperity. Of course we increase our business, but it is only by increasing the business of the people of California that we can increase our property is here just as is that of other men and women. Many of our stockholders live here. We want all California to prosper because we are Californians. The man who owns a two-room cottage and makes his home there with his family is no more interested than we, for we pay taxes just as he does, so it is only natural that we want the state to prosper.
"We have for years been actively furthering the interests of California by far-reaching advertising campaigns throughout the east and abroad. Millions of pieces of literature have been placed in the hands of interested people and thousands of pictures have been hung in conspicuous places throughout the country. Photographs are printed in great numbers for use in illustrating special articles about California. We are at the present time supplementing and emphasizing our other advertising work by keeping a corps of lecturers constantly in the field. Such special occasions as these offer communities along our line a splendid opportunity to gather up the results of the work we have done and the interest we have aroused. I cannot too strongly urge the fact that every community wanting new residents and hastened development should have specific and energetic representation at the Chicago Land Show.
"Let us get together, pool our resources and tell the world in convincing fashion what we have. Our lecture halls at the land show will be thrown open to California communities free of all cost. Back your lecturers up with moving picture films and stereopticon views and you will be surprised at the results. Last year 77,000 persons heard our lectures. This year 100,000 will listen.
"Every business man in California should have on his stationery the line 'California has room for the man who will work.' Make that our slogan and pound it into every man we can reach. Then get together with the Aviators now in clare that by the time opens Col. Collier's for a flight from Palo Duro will be so easy like finding money is for the first aviation in the flight from Diego, the first Pacific in the United States, the aviators of these."

“There are in this state millions of acres of land that will grow just as bountiful crops as any land in the state, but there is lack of people to thoroughly till the soil. The lands of California that today are worth as high as $1000 an acre were not worth more than $5 a comparatively few years ago. It is the railroads and the speedy transportation that they give, together with increasing population, that have increased their value. The people of California are coming to realize that this is true, and that the partnership that exists between its people and its railroads is really a close one, and that cooperation is needed to obtain the best results.
“When the double tracking now being done by the Southern Pacific railroad is completed we will have the longest stretch of double track of any railroad in the world,” continued Mr. Fee, “and it will give to California practically express service for all their freight to the east. Our lines in the state radiate in many directions, and we are thus enabled to bring the furthermost parts of the commonwealth into close touch with the great markets not only of California but of the east and the world.
“Therefore, it is up to all of us Californians, whether railroad men, merchants, manufacturers, horticulturists or farmers, to get together. We must establish this community spirit that already is securing a hold, and we must establish it so firmly that nothing can disrupt it.

AVIATION AT SAN DIEGO
Fair Projectors Preparing for Great Meet
San Diego, Oct. 29.—Aviation and all that pertains thereto will be a special feature of the exposition if the plans of D. C. Collier, director-general, with cooperation of Aviator Glenn H. Curtiss, are carried out.
Curtiss has sent a crew of seven men to the aviation field here and has re-established the school and experimental station for the United States army and navy officers. At the same time his men will begin the study of the meteorology of the Pacific coast, the stretch between San Diego and Savannah, Georgia, and of the coast line between the United States and the Isthmus of Panama to determine the best and most feasible route for mail carrying lines and be thrown open to California communities free of all cost. Back your lecturers up with moving picture films and stereopticon views and you will be surprised at the results. Last year 77,000 persons heard our lectures. This year 100,000 will listen.
“Every business man in California should have on his stationery the line ‘California has room for the man who will work.’ Make that our slogan and pound it into every man we can reach. Then get together with the Southern Pacific and show what team work between real Californians can do and we will people the state with men and women that will be a credit to us, add to our own as well as their wealth and help boost California to the topmost round on the ladder of success.”

for war and navy maneuvers.
As a commissioner of aviation of the exposition to be held in San Diego in 1915, Curtis will assist Director General Collier in gathering the most complete collection of aeronautical apparatus and exhibits ever brought together. He plans to show a complete history of the development of the art and science of aviation from the time of the first flights in dirigible balloons to the ultimate land-air machines, with their latest type of development down to 1915. To do this he will gather men and aeroplanes from every part of the world, France, Germany and England especially.
The Custiss establishment at San Diego is running full blast with men and aeroplanes in constant practice. The exposition management is keeping in close touch with developments as Curtiss, while yet to accept his post as commissioner, is regarded as already at work in preparation for the exposition.
The directors have arranged for a large aviation field on the site of the exposition. This will be prepared under the eye of Curtiss and every aviator in the world will be invited to make his temporary headquarters on the field during the spring and fall of 1915, meterological conditions of San Diego during the fall, winter and spring months being the most favorable in the world for aviation.
Aviators now in San Diego declare that by the time the exposition opens Col. Collier's prize of $10,000 for a flight from Panama to San Diego will be so easy that it will be like finding money. This prize is for the first aviator who succeeds in the flight from Panama to San Diego, the first Pacific port of entry in the United States, and is open to the aviators of the world.

The total average daily attendance in these schools for the year closing June 30, was 35,117. The total apportionment to each high school last year was $596.89 a school and $8.18 for each pupil on average daily attendance and the amount this year will be about the same.
NEW VARIETY OF SPUD
N. Y. State Agricultural College Raises Cross-bred Potato.
Washington, Oct. 29.—Serious attention is being given by Professor Corbett of the Department of Agriculture and a corps of expert assistants to the potato. At the Honcoye Falls (N. Y.), state experimental farm for potato culture they have raised something new in the potato line.
The new potato is a cross between the American, the English and the wild potato of South America, and is as smooth as a marble.
Professor Corbett invented it because careful study showed that the waste in peeling the ordinary American potato was 25 per cent. The English potato has a waste of only 10 per cent in peeling. The new combination tuber will not have over 5 per cent waste.
TUNGSTEN A REMARKABLE MINERAL
The mineral tungsten (the name meaning heavy stone) has been known for many years, but only comparatively recently has it become of economic importance. The most important use, according to Frank L. Hess, of the United States geological survey, and the one which makes tungsten mining on an extensive scale possible, is as an alloy for tool steel. Lathes using tools made from tungsten steel may be speeded up until the chips leaving the tool are so hot that they turn blue, an operation which would ruin the temper of high-carbon steel. It is stated that...
LARGE SALT PRODUCTION
Figures Show Increased Output for 1910, but Drop in Prices
The United States produced 30,305,656 barrels of salt in 1910, valued at $7,900,344, according to figures compiled by W. C. Phalen and just published by the United States geological survey. This was an increase of 198,010 barrels over the production of 1909 but a decrease in value amounting to $443,487. The six leading producers of salt in 1910 were New York, Michigan, Ohio, Kansas, Louisiana, and California. Nearly 99 percent of the salt consumed in the country was obtained from domestic sources, the United States having long been independent of foreign production.
Salt is thought of mostly in connection with cooking and seasoning, but it has a great many other important applications. It is used very largely in the preservation of fish and meat, in the dairying industry, and in chemical metallurgical processes. It is also used as a source of chlorine employed in the manufacturing of bleaching powders and in the chlorination of certain gold ores.
One of the main sources of salt is common sea water and some of the California product is obtained from the ocean. When sea water is evaporated to dryness, salt is among the first compounds to be deposited. The last are the potash and magnesium compounds, these being the most soluble. The great Stassfurt potash deposits are overlain as well as underlain by salt, and it is the opinion of geologists that potash may accompany some of the known salt deposits in this country.
In a recent geological survey report on potash, written by Mr. Phalen, the hope is expressed that every salt producer in the United States will in the future, when boring or otherwise exploring for salt, be on the lookout for possible occurrences of potash compounds. At present the geological survey has a deep drilling party at work in the arid west, where vast deposits of salt are known to exist in an endeavor to find possible paratively recently has it become of economic importance. The most important use, according to Frank L. Hess, of the United States geological survey, and the one which makes tungsten mining on an extensive scale possible, is as an alloy for tool steel. Lathes using tools made from tungsten steel may be speeded up until the chips leaving the tool are so hot that they turn blue, an operation which would ruin the temper of high-carbon steel. It is stated that about five times as much can be done with lathes built for such speed and work as can be done by the same lathes with carbon-steel tools. From 16 to 20 per cent of tungsten is ordinarily used in lathe tools. The melting point of tungsten is exceedingly high—5576 deg. F.
Tungsten also has an important use in making incandescent electric-lamps, crucibles for electric furnaces, and various other articles.
NINETY DAYS IN JAIL
With his face swollen and black and patched with plasters, Rosalie Barba sat in the justice's court at Santa Ana the other day. With him was Simon Lopez. These two men were in charge of Sheriff Ruddock, who with other officers arrested the pair at the county seat some nights ago. The two men pleaded guilty to disturbing the peace and each man was sentenced to the county jail for ninety days.
Barba's wife was in the courtroom. On Monday she went to the deputy district attorney and wanted him to get her a divorce. That same day Barba and Lopez had a fight and when Barba was trying to break into his own home with an ax, declaring he would kill his wife, mother, son-in-law and daughter, one of the neighbors knocked him down with a piece of stovewood.
WHO REALLY “DONE” IT
In one of the large cities a primary teacher was one day instructing her class in the composition of sentences. She wrote two sentences on the blackboard, one a misstatement of fact, and the other wrong grammatically. The sentences were: "The hen has three legs" and "Who done it?"
Willie," she said to one of the youngsters, "go to the board and elucidate where the fault lies in those two sentences."
Willie slowly approached the blackboard.

SCHOOL FUND FIGURES
Sacramento, Oct. 29.—The semi-annual apportionment of school funds under the new average daily attendance system, has been completed and announced by Supt. Hyatt. On the basis of $200 a teacher and with 9,566 teachers the common schools of the state receive a total of $1,913,200. Of this amount Los Angeles receives the most, San Francisco second and Alameda third.
For high schools a total of $231,864 is divided, Los Angeles receiving again the most, $53,548, Alameda $21,-139.20 and San Francisco $16,481 60.
Hyatt observes that the total number of high schools entitled to receive aid June 30, 1911, were 221.

HUNTINGTON BEACH
The first carload of home-raised hogs ever shipped in this section of Orange county was forwarded to a Los Angeles firm by C. C. Ehrenhart who raised them on his ranch about two miles north of here. Ehrenhart has gone into the business permanently and expects to supply many carloads. He feeds the animals on corn and sugar beets.
The hundred days' season of sugar manufacturing at the plant of the Holly Sugar company near this city closed on Thursday. The initial season of this big factory has been an exceptional success without any of the delays usual to a beet sugar factory in its first season. Ranchers who have supplied the acreage of beets express themselves as well satisfied and the prospects for the enlargement of the factory next year are good.
The harvesting and shipment of the peatland celery crop of the present season will begin next week. While the total acreage planted this year is about one-third less than that of last year, the quality of the crop is excellent, weather conditions having been favorable.
The Standard oil company has decided to erect a plant near the sugar factory instead of in the heart of the city where much opposition recently developed to the company's plan of building.
WHAT FATHER TOOK
He came down the garden path, a sad, sorrowful figure. She watched him with anxious eyes.
"How did father take it?" she asked.
"He took it—well," replied the rising young man.
"Oh, I'm so glad, George," she cried, pressing her hands together.
"Are you?" replied George, flopping forlornly by her side. "Well, I can't say that I am, dearie. At first your father wouldn't listen to me."
"Why didn't you tell him that you had $2500 in the bank, as I told you to?" she exclaimed.
"I did, after all else had failed," answered George, dejectedly.
"And what did he do then?"
"Do?" echoed the young man, passing his hand wearily through his hair.
"He borrowed it."
