NEW CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS The congressional map of the state at large shows numerous changes, made necessary by the increase of population, which gives California 11 congressmen instead of eight, as heretofore. The new First district takes in the north coast from San Francisco to the Oregon line, together with several Sacramento valley counties. Congressman Kent loses much of his most prized territory such as Sacramento, Yolo and Napa. Humboldt now comes into his district, bringing him opposition from Judge Connick With Kent and Connick contesting at the primary election there may be an opportunity for ex-Congressman Duncan McKinley of Santa Rosa to secure the party nomination. McKinley now holds a federal office in San Francisco, but is anxious to return to congress. The second district, save for the loss of Humboldt and Del Norte, represents most of what was formerly the first—the northern and eastern mining district. The third district, grouping coun- pointed, we want the best exhibit ever put up. No community, or locality in Southern California, or in the State of California for that matter; can afford to be without representation. I was delighted with the liberality of the railroads as manifested by their distinguished representatives at our conference. Their action has made it possible to bring exhibits that could not otherwise be brought in at the expense of the individual. "I offer to give, as you will recall, $25 to be used as a special premium or for some other purpose, perhaps decorating of the pavilion in general, I leave it entirely to your good judgment and this confirms my oral promise. Faithfully yours, (Signed) W. H. HOLABIRD. The concessions to which Col. Holabird refers is the promise of the railroads to carry exhibits to the Land Show Beautiful which will be held March 12 to 23 next free of all charge. The railroads are also planning to help some of the sections which are not strong enough to make exhibits, to make displays and have reserved a large amount of space for that purpose. The Salt Lake City exhibit at the New York and Chicago Land Shows has been returned to that city and is now being exhibited there. With considerable addition, it will be sent to Los Angeles Land Show next March when a much larger space than was used last year will be utilized. Statistics show that a family of five increases the taxable value of land in a city or county $5,000. Each colonist who will attend the Land Show Beautiful of America, in Los Angeles, March 12th to 28th next, will represent such a family.

The second district, save for the loss of Humboldt and Del Norte, represents most of what was formerly the first—the northern and eastern mining district. The third district, grouping counties about the lower Sacramento and San Joaquin regions and including Sacramento, may hereafter be represented by Frank R. Devlin of Vallejo. Mr. Devlin is an announced aspirant for congressional honors. Judge Peter Shields of Sacramento will be his opponent at the primary election. San Francisco gets two districts, losing Santa Clara and other peninsula counties, all of which go into the eighth, a district running straight down the coast to and including Ventura. The seventh, extending down the San Joaquin valley from the northern line of Stanislaus to the southern line of Kern, throws Representatives Needham and Smith into the same district and will bring them into rivalry at the primaries, providing both desire to return to congress. The eleventh district is comprised of Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, Imperial, Inyo and Mono counties. LOS ANGELES LAND SHOW Preparations Making for a Notable Exhibition of Products Col. W. H. Holabird receiver of the California Development Company, who is backing a large exhibit from Imperial County, has written an enthusiastic letter concerning the Los Angeles Land Show to General Manager Phillip D. Wilson. Colonel Holabird in a recent address stated that at the close of a lecture at last year's Land Show, five men made inquiries of him concerning Imperial Valley land. Each of the five are now owners of ranches in that valley. Col Holabird's letter is as follows: "Dear Mr. Wilson:—Since the conference on the afternoon of the 16th inst. I have been thinking much about the Land Show. There isn't any question in my mind as to the benefit the State of California and the Pacific coast generally will receive from this work. It is one of the great object lessons possible to give to the inquiring thousands." TO ABOLISH TUBERCULINE TEST The Milk Consumers Alliance is circulating a referendum petition in Los Angeles to repeal the ordinance passed in that city on Nov. 28, to go into effect Jan. 1, and providing for the forcible, frequent and indiscriminating application of the tuberculine test to the cows of all producers furnishing milk to the city of Los Angeles. The work of this organization is heartily endorsed and seconded by the United Milk Producers' Association of Southern California, who have in every way expressed their disapproval of the drastic method adopted by the city in purifying its milk supply. W. S. Rosecrans, secretary of the Milk Producers Association, states: "The Association stands for purer and better milk, but it objects to legislation enforcing on the dairymen in this section of the state the necessity of having his dairy animals whether healthy or unhealthy, inoculated with tuberculine serum. The test has been tried out in many sections of the United States and has failed, and what others have seen fit to discard I do not see the necessity of our taking up. We want to give Los Angeles pure milk, but we want justice done to the people of Los Angeles and the dairymen, and it is our belief that such justice will not be accomplished by this tuberculin test."

HELMSEN Dear Mr. Wilson:—Since the conference on the afternoon of the 16th inst. I have been thinking much about the Land Show. There isn't any question in my mind as to the benefit the State of California and the Pacific coast generally will receive from this work. It is one of the great object lessons possible to give to the inquiring thousands. "Now that no one may be disappared out in many United States and has failed, and what others have seen fit to discard I do not see the necessity of our taking up. We want to give Los Angeles pure milk, but we want justice done to the people of Los Angeles and the dairymen, and it is our belief that such justice will not be accomplished by this tuberculin test." Every dairyman is urged to join the Milk Producers Association at the earliest possible moment to help carry on the fight for better conditions. Any information regarding the Association may be secured by applying to W. S. Rosecrans, Secretary, 440 Citizens National Bank Bldg., Los Angeles, Cal. TO SHUT OUT PESTS Representative Raker is preparing amendments intended to strengthen the Simmons tree pest quarantine bill, along lines suggested by California Secretary of Agriculture to establish Cooke. The Simmons bill now pending before Congress would regulate the importation and interstate transportation of nursery stock and enable the Secretary of Agriculture to establish quarantine districts and otherwise regulate the movement of fruits and vegetables. The amendments Mr. Raker will introduce provide for the inspection of trees and plants at a port of entry, the examination of persons and baggage, and the right to quarantine.

Anaheim Fruit Association, one block East of S. P. depot. Multiplying by Machinery. The clerical staffs of many of the big insurance companies have of late years been considerably reduced by the employment of mechanical calculators. One of these, the invention of a German, is a compact little affair resembling a music box. It may be made to perform almost instantaneously the most portentous sums in addition, subtraction, multiplication, by one or two factors, division, squaring and cubing. It is required, for instance, to multiply 531,975 by 924. The first factor is set by touching the little knobs representing 531,975. To multiply by the other factor you turn a handle four times, push along a slide one place and turn the handle twice, then push the slide another place onward and push the handle nine times. The long multiplication is now done without a possibility of error so far as the machine is concerned, and the dial shows 491,544,900. In the same mechanical way may be done all the other arithmetical processes.—London Globe. Strange Timekeepers. To ascertain the time at night the Apache Indians employed a gourd on which the stars of the heavens were marked. As the constellations rose in the sky the Indian referred to his gourd and found out the hour. By turning the gourd around he could tell the order in which the constellations might be expected to appear.

The movement inaugurated by Robert Newton Lynch of the California Development Board, to make it possible for California to choose its immigrants from the hordes attracted by opening of the canal, is considered by local as well as by national authorities to be a highly intelligent, practical and wise effort. The middle of December will see the close of the California Development Board's work in the Eastern Land Shows.

Fighter of the Family. The tough little boy with the red air and freckled face pushed up against the neat little boy and said impudently: "My sister can lick your sister." The neat little boy did not argue the matter. "And my big brother can lick your big brother." The good little lad winced. "And my ma can lick your ma." The quiet lad shifted from one foot to the other. "And my pa can lick your pa." There was a flash of pink shirt waist, the sound of some hard object coming in contact with a spongy substance, and the quiet little lad stood triumphantly over his adversary, quietly waiting for him to push his nose back into the center of his face where it belonged. "But just remember this," he observed quietly. "you can't lick me."—Youngstown Telegram. The Famous "Gresh Man of Brighton." In October, 1806, an individual was to be observed at Brighton, England, who walked out every day dressed in green from head to foot—green shoes, green gloves, green handkerchief and other articles to match. This eccentric person lived alone, knew nobody, and in his house the curtains, the wall paper, the furniture, even the plates and dishes and the smallest toilet articles, offered an uninterrupted sequence of green. Having started on his career, there was obviously no reason to stop, and with full consistency he carried this scruples so far as to eat nothing but fruit and vegetables of the same green color. The consequences were extremely disastrous. One fine day the green man jumped from his window into the street, rushed forward and performed a second somersault from the top of the nearest cliff. Climate and Food. In the arctic regions human food is almost exclusively animal, because that is the only sort which is available in quantity. In the tropics, where vegetation is abundant and animal might be expected to appear. Robert Newton Lynch of the California Development Board, to make it possible for California to choose its immigrants from the hordes attracted by opening of the canal, is considered by local as well as by national authorities to be a highly intelligent, practical and wise effort. The middle of December will see the close of the California Development Board's work in the Eastern Land Shows. Under Francis Hope this board has participated at the Brewers' International Congress in Chicago at the Pittsburg, New York and Chicago Land Shows. California's exhibit car left San Francisco on November 10th with an exhibit installed by the California Development Board, which is conceded not only to be the best of the nine participating States' cars, but the best display car that ever left California. The year 1911 has been a very satisfactory one to farmers and fruit growers of California as well as those engaged in the lines of business dependent upon their energies and fortune in providing the necessities and luxuries of life from the soil. On making up the statement of results of the season's work, we find that new records have been made, both in yield and price. Canning of fruit and vegetables was of record volume and went to an eager market. The output of dried fruits, prunes and raisins is large and finds a ready market at remunerative prices. Deciduous fruit shipments up to the 22d were 12,479 carloads, not including apples, a new record; 36,000,000 pounds of dried fruit were shipped by sea in October, more than double the shipment in same month in 1910. Citrus fruit shipments for the season closed October 31st were 46,184 carloads, or 18,817,216 boxes. These included 7,764 carloads of lemons. The new season has begun with 997 carloads up to the 20th inst. It promises to exceed 1911 by several thousand carloads. California will have a record output of beet sugar this season, and the acreage and facilities for manufacture will be much enlarged for next season. The nurseries of the state are being taxed to capacity for all kinds of deciduous and citrus fruit trees, and the new plantings will be large. Mining and oil developments show a steady increase. California continues in liberal production of oil. October returns were 7,283,434 barrels. The wealth produced for the year... Climate and Food. In the arctic regions human food is almost exclusively animal, because that is the only sort which is available in quantity. In the tropics, where vegetable food is abundant and animal foods readily decay, plant products are and always have been of very great importance in the diet. In temperate regions all kinds of food may be secured, and it seems reasonable to suppose that all kinds have always been eaten as they are today. Awaiting the Test.
