J. O. Royer and his party of Uniform Rank Knights of Pythias returned last week from their trip to Phoenix, Arizona, where they went on Sunday of last week for the purpose of installing three new companies of U.R.K.P. Gen. Royer, George W. Hamler and V. U. Simpson left for Phoneix on the preceding Friday, and met the delegation at Phoenix on Monday. The three gentlemen went from Phoenix to Yuma, where they installed another uniform rank company, and returned home on Friday. Other members of the party came in on Thursday. All are unanimous in praise of the hospitality of Phoenix Knights. Besides attending to their duties as installing officers of the new companies, they were taken on auto rides about the Arizona city and all express themselves as having had the time of their lives. The Phoenix Gazette of date Nov. 22 contains the following account of the visit of Gen. Royer and his party: "Never in the history of the local lodge of the Knights of Pythias has there been a more brilliant assembly." J. O. Royer, brigadier general and chief signal officer; Captain H.

Editor Gazette: I thought I would bring you a copy of the Arizona Gazette, which will give you an idea and full description of the way in which General Royer and his staff officers were received, so therefore there is no use in me giving you any account, as the Gazette will give full particulars. I for one will state that I felt like a great many others in Anaheim, that General Royer had a big axe to grind. Now we begin to think otherwise. He is a grand and good-hearted man, and the most democratic in his principles of any one I ever had the pleasure of meeting. Most men o so muuch wealth as he have no use for any other men. General Royer has spent a fortune in Anaheim already, and also gives away thousands of dollars for the for- been completed it may be found low-water conditions render a part of the investment unprofitable. Copies of this report can be cured by application to the Department of the Geological Survey at Washington. POSTMASTER WILL INVEST Arch Beach Heights Company Novel Assessment Method County officials on Friday over to Postmaster L. L.

Besides attending to their duties as installing officers of the new companies, they were taken on auto rides about the Arizona city and all express themselves as having had the time of their lives. The Phoenix Gazette of date Nov. 22 contains the following account of the visit of Gen. Royer and his party: "Never in the history of the local lodge of the Knights of Pythias has there been a more brilliant assemblage of members of that order in this city than that which last evening marked the mustering in of three companies of the uniform rank and the organization of the First Arizona battalion. In all there were 165 Pythians, including large contingents from Tempe and Mesa, in the party which gathered shortly before 8 o'clock in the Odd Fellows' hall and afterwards enjoyed a most satisfying and elaborate banquet in the banquet room of the Pythian lodge. "It was the culmination of the visit of General J. O. Royer and staff, together with about thirty members of the Anaheim, Cal., company, No. 26, to this city. For two days this brilliant party of visitors has been in this city, spending one evening at Mesa and organizing Mesa company, No. 2, U.R.K. of P., and concluding the work mapped out last evening. To day Arizona possesses a new military body with regularly chosen officers, and Pythianism has been given an added impetus in the Salt River valley that means much for the future. "Headed by the Indian school band, the local Pythians last evening marched to the Annex, where they greeted General Royer and his party. Forming an inspiring picture, they then marched to the Arizona Eastern depot, where they met the special train provided by General Royer, bearing Tempe company, No. 3, and Mesa company No. 2, the visiting contingent numbering nearly seventy-five. "With the music of the band inspiring the marchers, and with red fire casting a ruddy glow over all, the augmented procession moved through the principal streets to Odd Fellows' hall, where the work of mustering the companies was quickly accomplished. Then followed the organization of the First Arizona battalion. Although he was unable to be present, J. Fred Cleaveland was unanimously chosen major of the battalion, a signal honor for the man who was formerly chancellor of the local lodge and who has" Stream Flow of Rivers of New England and Middle Eastern States The rivers of the northeastern and middle eastern portions of the United States are the best known in the country and the earliest in point of development, and their usefulness as sources of power and centers of industry has been demonstrated for several generations. Nevertheless it has been shown by the work of the United States Geological Survey during the past years, and it is again demonstrated in a report just issued by the survey, that in spite of the long familiarity of manufacturers and industrial men in general with most of these rivers, the water resources they afford have not yet been appreciated and by no means developed to their fullest extent. In fact, there are very few rivers in this great region in which the developments of water power have come anywhere near the maximum possible degree of usefulness. The report mentioned, Water-Supply Paper 261, contains flow records during the year 1909 of the principal rivers in New England, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Maryland which empty into the Atlantic Ocean. Beginning with the records of the St. John River basin, in the State of Maine, the report takes up successively all the principal streams and many of their important tributaries along the coast as far south as the Rappa-hannock Basin, in Virginia. Among the records of interest is that on Connecticut River at Orford, N. H., cov- amount."

Then followed the organization of the First Arizona battalion. Although he was unable to be present, J. Fred Cleaveland was unanimously chosen major of the battalion, a signal honor for the man who was formerly chancellor of the local lodge and who has been recently chosen supreme representative at the supreme lodge sessions to be held at Fort Worth, Tex. "About 10 o'clock the party adjourned to the Pythian banquet hall, where a banquet was served. Professor John D. Loper, who is also grand keeper of records and seals of the Arizona grand lodge, acted as toastmaster and introduced the speakers. The address of General Royer was particularly inspiring and calculated to awaken every impulse to the necessity of work for the future welfare and growth of Pythianism in Arizona. "And when the banquet had at last been disposed of, the lodge room of the Pythians then being available, an extra session of the local lodge was called and the rank of Sir Knight was conferred upon one hundred candidates. "General Royer and his staff left this afternoon for Yuma, where another company of the uniform rank will be organized. The other members of the California party were taken for an automobile tour of the valley this morning, and this evening they will leave for their homes on a special train over the Santa Fe. "Following is a complete list of those who, with General Royer, came here from California for the express purpose of assisting in the organization of the companies and the institution of a battalion: ANAHEIM GAZETTE MASTER WILL INVESTIGATE Beach Heights Company Has Novel Assessment Method enty officials on Friday turned to Postmaster L.

Marvin, conductor of the Sons of Temperance, said in the course of an eloquent address in Bridgeport: "The New Year will soon be with us, and the great harvest of New Year temperance pledges will begin. These temperance pledges are a joy to a man. The drinking man who swears off, becomes, thanks to his improved health, 50 per cent. younger and 50 per cent. happier. It's a lie to talk as Toddy Beer did." Toddy Beer, you know, swore off one New Year's, and a month or so later he rose in a temperance meeting to give his experience. "Gents," he began. "I never thought I'd be able to say that for thirty days not a drop of spirituous liquor had passed my lips. Gents, would you believe I—I've saved enough this last month to buy myself a lovely oak coffin with silver-plated trimmin's." Then, preparing to sit down, he added as a kind of after-thought: "'And, by jingo, if I'm a teetotaler for another month I'll be needin' it.'"

Neill and Santa Ana and her four children over the distribution of the estate to Henry Neill, who died May 15, was decided in the widow's favor by Judge Rives in the Probate Court in Los Angeles. The estate is valued at $72,000 and, according to the terms of Neill's will, one-third of the property is bequeathed to the children, share and share alike. Two of the children, Walter L. Neill and Nelll Bealzley, were named as executors, but when they attempted to distribute the estate in accordance with the provisions of the will they opposed the opposition of their mother. The asserted her title to one-half of the estate under the community land of California and declared the portion mentioned in the will failed to the remainder. By the dissolution, Mrs. Neill will receive two-thirds of the entire estate. PRESENTATION MAY BE REDUCED Because of the recent census figures, which give San Francisco a reduced standing, and also because interior districts are in a coalition to get greater recognition and a better representation in the state's re-making body, San Francisco will probably lose four assemblymen and six state senators when reapportionment becomes the question in the special session called for the end of this month. At present San Francisco has eighteen assemblymen and nine state senators. In the preliminary decision concerning reapportionment the county delegations, now strongly united against the big city delegations, have suggested that San Francisco be given only twelve assemblymen and nine state senators, but this has met such hot opposition from the committee that a compromise has been effected, and it now seems like that San Francisco will save enough so that she will have fourteen months to buy myself a lovely oak coffin with silver-plated trimimin's." Then, preparing to sit down, he added as a kind of after-thought: "'And, by jingo, if I'm a teetotaler for another month I'll be needin' it.'" CALIFORNIANS AT CHICAGO First Carload of Oranges Distributed at Land Show Chicago, Ill., Nov. 21.—Californians in Chicago, those transplanted westerners that are longing for their own homes, turned out today to get as close to their old state as they could in Chicago. As a result several thousand of them, together with many more thousands of Chicagoans packed, the Coliseum to the doors at the third annual land show. That the show was a success was attested by the comments on the California exhibits, and the smacking of lips over the oranges, the figs, the nuts, rains, grapes and prunes sent on here to Chicago by the chambers of commerce, fruit associations and fruit growers from all parts of the state. Orangevale, Fair Oaks, Oroville, Lodi, Sacramento, Sulsun, Fresno, Lindsey, Los Angeles, San Diego, Livermore and San Jose all gave of their plenty. The first oranges of this year's crop to reach Chicago were distributed at the land show today, and were sucked with avidity while crowds of visitors listened to speeches in the Southern Pacific lecture halls. This noon the officers of the land show gave a luncheon at the Union League club for the California exhibitors. Speeches were made in which the co-operation of the land show, the Southern Pacific and the exhibitors was pledged toward the upbuilding of California and the drawing there of all the land hungry thousands that could be reached by persuasion. ALASKA'S HIGH-GRADE COALS Total Production in Territory is Less Than Fifty Thousand Tons Though something has been known of Alaska coal for more than sixty years, the amount of actual mining, has been insignificant. The total production since the territory was acquired from Russia is less than 50,000 tons. This is all the more significant because during this time more than 1,500,000 tons of coal have been shipped into Alaska, and all but 20 per cent of it was from foreign Office Mullinix Bl'dg.

Total Production in Territory is Less Than Fifty Thousand Tons Though something has been known of Alaska coal for more than sixty years, the amount of actual mining has been insignificant. The total production since the territory was acquired from Russia is less than 50,000 tons. This is all the more significant because during this time more than 1,500,000 tons of coal have been shipped into Alaska, and all but 20 per cent of it was from foreign fields. The Bering river and Matanuska coal fields of Alaska are stated by Alfred H. Brooks of the geological survey, in a recent report, to constitute the only known sources of the high-grade coal near either the eastern or the western shore of the Pacific ocean, unless such fuels may be had from the inland coal field of China. They are therefore of great importance to the industries of the Pacific coast. From them must come the high-grade steaming and coking coals and anthracite needed by the growing population in the sea-coard states. Unless they are utilized the manufacturing and smelting industries of that region and the ships of the American navy in the Pacific ocean must depend largely on foreign fields, except as coal may be brought around Cape Horn and through the Panama canal. Alaska's own need for high-grade coal can be supplied only from these two fields, unless it is furnished by such foreign fuel as is transported for a thousand miles or more.
