RAILROAD PENSION DISBURSEMENTS Faithful Employees Receive Large Amount During Past Year The voluntary pension distributions of the Southern Pacific Company will reach the million dollar mark before the first day of April, this year. Since the inauguration of the pension department in January, 1903, $948,538 has been voluntarily disbursed among the retired employees of that corporation. The total disbursements for December, 1911, were $17,073. This was divided among 467 former employees who have been retired for age, disqualifying disability and total disability. The total pension disbursements for the year 1911 were $184,704.05. Since the organization of the pension department the Southern Pacific company has pensioned 692 of its former employees. The number on the pension roll at the close of 1911 was 467. These employees are from the operating department, train service, motive power department, including enginemen, maintenance of way department, stores department, traffic department, accounting department, general offices, ferry and river steamers and Atlantic steamship lines. The Southern Pacific pension system does not require any contributions from the employees during the time they are in service, nor at any time. Length of continuous service is the only requirement. All payments are made from the general funds of the railroad.

Sloan of Sloan and Robson, engineers of San Francisco, and Vivian Barr of Los Angeles with respect to preliminaries. It is estimated that the improvement will cost $90,000. The election to decide whether the new high school shall be erected on the Central tract or the Krug place purchased by the trustees has been called for March 2d. WILL DISTRIBUTE ESTATE The Superior Court has appointed E. K. Benchley of Fullerton to settle the estate of Pierre Nicolas, deceased and divide it among the heirs.. The estate is valued at about $150,000, and consists of real estate and personal property in Orange and Los Angeles counties. MASON-CHAPMAN NUPTIALS Popular Young Couple Married at Santa Ana Sunday The marriage of Belle Mason and Sherley E. Chapman took place at 1 o'clock on Sunday, Jan. 7, at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Cary of 617 West First street, Santa Ana, Rev. F. L. Richardson officiating. The rooms were profusely decorated with greenery and flowers. With the music of Mendelssohn's wedding march, rendered by Mrs. O. H. Lamlden, the couple entered and took their place under an arch of smilax and white carnations, joined at the top with a truelovers' knot of white satin ribbon.

For Orange adjoins Los Angeles crease was 12.4 per cent. A unique idea of the beneficiaries of the pension bureau, the annual reunion has met with unanimous favor. The first affair of this character was held in 1910. This year it has been decided to hold the reunion on May 10, the forty-third anniversary of the driving of the last spike connecting the Central and Union Pacific railroads. At these affairs these railroads are rebuilt in reminiscence and the old timers who have not met for years recount their experiences of the time the first railroad to the west was constructed. HIS SHIBBOLETH The new night watchman tiptoed cautiously over the grass, and, diving forward, caught the little man by the coat tail and jerked him on down to a seat on the lawn. "Come along, me foine feller," he said. "It’s up the river for yours. No house-breaking goes on my beat." "Oh, let me alone," exclaimed the little man, peevishly. "I’m not house breaking. This is my own house, and I’m trying to get in. Mind your own business." "Likely story," grunted the night watchman; "entering yer own house be the windy at 1 o’clock in the mornin’. Tell that to the judge." "I tell you it is my house. My wife locked me out, and I was trying to get in this way when you interfered. The front door is bolted. There is the key; if you want to try. Or you go and ring the door bell and see what happens." The watchman, still keeping a tight hold of his prey, walked slowly and quietly up to the front door, then suddenly gave the bell a violent ring. A second floor window opened with a snap. “William,” said a voice so chilly that the watchman shivered down his backbone, “can you say ‘six thousand six hundred and sixty-six separate satellites scintillating sparks slowly and with respect to sibilance?” The watchman, still grasping the shuddering William, made his way to one clock on Sunday, Jan. 7, at the home of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Cary of 617 West First street, Santa Ana, Rev. F. L. Richardson officiating. The rooms were profusely decorated with greenery and flowers. With the music of Mendelssohn’s wedding march, rendered by Mrs. O. H. Lamlden, the couple entered and took their place under an arch of smilax and white carnations, joined at the top with a truelovers’ knot of white satin ribbon. The ribbon being used for the same purpose at the marriage of each of Mrs. Cary’s three daughters. They were there met by the minister, who, in a very impressive manner, joined them in the holy bonds of wedlock, using the ring ceremony. During the ceremony the beautiful tones of “The Angels Serenade” was softly played. After hearty congratulations the guests assembled in the dining-room where an elaborate three course luncheon was served. Mr. and Mrs. Chapman left amid showers of rice and old shoes for Los Angeles where they will make their future home. Mr. Chapman is employed by the city as a fireman at the Main engine house located at 215 S. Hill street. Mr. and Mrs. Chapman are now at home to their friends at 228 S. Olive street, Los Angeles. FOREST PLANTING In a statement made to the Tri-Counties reforestation committee by Supervisor Charlton, of the Angelus forest reserve, he said: “We have just completed the planting of over 7000 Conifers near the Seven Oaks resort in the Santa Ana Canyon. This work is, of course, an experiment, but we hope for good results. We shall also plant out next month about 20,000 eucalyptus in the foothills immediately north of Del Rosa. The eucalyptus planting we have already done has so far as the cultivated lands are concerned, been a great success. We are now trying to determine whether or not we can grow them by simply planting them out in the chaparral without irrigation or cultivation.” The great fire on the San Bernardino mountains, burned over an area of about 13,000 acres, or four percent of the mountain watershed on which we are dependent for our water supply. While it was a great loss in denuding a portion of our watershed of its forest cover, fortunately it was shown in the nurseries in Los Angeles and for 1911 over 1910, ures tabulated by O statistician for the Health, and given ages in Los Angeles year numbered 6263 crease of 811, or 14 against a gain of 50 for 1910. For Oran adjoints Los Angeles crease was 12.4 per cent for 1910. Of marriages in that was 1069. POINTED PA Hope for the best for it. It takes a woman grow old gracefully. No, Cordella, gift necessarily generous. Many a man’s spirit is due to the aromas. It takes an opting out of a thing than love may be blind mother usually has open. We admire a woman who is able to keep under cover. Anyway, people poor do not have the rankly rich. If a young man’s blee to a girl why she is going to return it?

"William," said a voice so chilly that the watchman shivered down his backbone, "can you say 'six thousand six hundred and sixty-six separate satellites scintillating sparks slowly and with respect to sibilance?" The watchman, still grasping the shuddering William, made his way noiselessly to the gate, then whispered to the little man: "Say, come down to the corner and get a drink to warm you after that. I guess it's on me." WOMAN GETS PROBATION Mrs. Frances Allen, wife of J. B. Allen, Friday morning in the superior court, pleaded guilty on two charges of forgery and was sentenced to five years at San Quentin on each case, but the sentence was suspended and the woman placed on probation with instructions to report to County Probation Officer Scott at intervals prescribed by the Court. Mrs. Allen passed a fictitious check on a local drygoods house and forged the name of Frank Mussellman to a check she passed here. In the first case she called herself Mrs. J. B. Allen and in the case here she posed as Mrs. H. Adams. FULLERTON The Southern California Edison Co. has voluntarily reduced the rate for lighting service in this city from ten to nine cents per kilowat hour. One year ago the company cut the rate from 12 1-2 cents to ten cents, and has steadily improved the service and equipment. The Edison company will within the next thirty days install a new street lighting system in this city, costing several thousand of dollars. THE GREAT FIRE ON THE SAN BERNARDINO MOUNTAINS, burned over an area of about 13,000 acres, or four percent of the mountain watershed on which we are dependent for our water supply. While it was a great loss in denuding a portion of our watershed of its forest cover, fortunately it was that portion of the San Bernardino mountains from which the smallest amount of water supply is received. With reference to this Mr. Charlton says: "As the result of last summer's big fire practically all of Waterman canyon was burned over. In cooperation with the geological survey we propose making observations and stream flow measurements on the watershed for a period of ten years, by which time we figure the growth will completely have recuperated, if not before then. The idea of course is to settle once for all the much-mooted question as to the value of a chaparral cover as a water conserver. We are also making observations on the adjoining canyon, which was not burned over, and can probably arrive at some conclusion without waiting five years." MILLIONS OF LADYBIRDS Will Be Released in Orchards to Destroy Aphis Sacramento, Jan. 13.—Four tons of ladybirds will be harvested by Supt. Carnes of the State Insectary, who is connected with the State Horticultural Commission in the mountains of the Sierras, within the next three weeks. These bugs will be dug from beneath the snow and pine needles where they sleep during the winter months, transported to the railroad on the backs of mules and then brought to Sacramento to be held in been a great success.

These four tons of bugs according to the estimate of Carnes will number approximately 60,000,000. They are found in colonies of between 2,000,000 and 5,000,000 each in the canyons and gorges near Towle, Placer county. Carnes says the lady bugs are the most valuable of the beneficial bugs in the State. It costs only a small amount to gather them from the snow while in a dormant state and it is estimated billions of dollars are saved each year by the bugs through their destroying the aphis, which is a fruit pest found in large numbers in the Imperial valley. Already melon growers of that valley are sending communications to the horticultural commission for information as to the supply of lady bugs this year. GAIN IN MARRIAGES Los Angeles and Orange Counties Show Increases in Licenses Sacramento, Jan. 12.—A big increase is shown in the number of marriages in Los Angeles and Orange counties for 1911 over 1910, according to figures tabulated by George D. Leslie, statistician for the State Board of Health, and given out today. Marriages in Los Angeles county last year numbered 6263, showing an increase of 811, or 14.9 per cent. as against a gain of 504, or 10.2 percent for 1910. For Orange county, which adjoins Los Angeles county, the increase was 12.4 per cent, against 9.2 CHANGING THE SEASONS. In China It Is Summer When the Emperor Says It Is. The emperor of China has some strange duties. One of these is the ordering of the seasons. It is summer in America when the sun warms the earth and not until then, but in China it is summer when the emperor says it is summer. As soon as the emperor declares that summer has come everybody in China puts off winter clothing and arrays himself in summer garb, no matter what his feelings on the subject may be. All domestic arrangements are made to suit the season as proclaimed by the emperor, although they may not suit the individual at all. The nearest approach to the Chinese system of ordering the seasons is the practice observed in France in all public buildings. There it is winter on and after Oct. 1. Fires are then lighted in all government offices, and the employees exchange their white summer waistcoats for the thicker and darker ones of winter. At that date the public libraries are closed at 4, and in the streets the sellers of toasted chestnuts make their appearance. In official France it is winter, no matter what the weather may say and no matter what unofficial France may think.—New York Press. PAPER MADE BY WASPS. The Way the Insects Gather Material and Form the Product. Wasps are wonderful papermakers. They make real paper, too, just as truly as human papermakers. A wasp files to a flower and covers the front of its body with the dust of the blossom. This is moistened and mixed with the wax which is secreted on the surface of the wasp's body. Then the insect repairs to an old fence or other piece of weather worn wood In a Fourth of July address, Mayor Sam'l L. Shank of Indianapolis once said, apropos of George Washington and truthfulness: "Few of us, alas, can lay claim to that absolutely true veracity which was Washington's modest boast. Thus the shoe pinches us all when the story of little Jack Smith comes up.. Little Jack's Sunday school teacher, after a lesson on Ananias and Sapphira, said: Why is not everybody who tells a lie struck dead? Little Jack answered gravely: Because there would not be anybody left." "This item in your campaign expense account mystifies me," said the auditor. "I don't understand what you mean by raw material." "That is an error on the part of the blonde stenographer," replied Senator Sorghum. "It should read, 'hurrah material.'"

Marriages in Los Angeles county last year numbered 6263, showing an increase of 811, or 14.9 per cent, as against a gain of 504, or 10.2 percent for 1910. For Orange county, which adjoins Los Angeles county, the increase was 12.4 per cent, against 9.2 per cent for 1910. The total number of marriages in that county for 1911 was 1069. POINTED PARAGRAPHS Hope for the best and then hustle for it. It takes a woman a long time to grow old gracefully. No, Cordelia, gifted people are not necessarily generous. Many a man's spicy conversation is due to the aroma of cloves. It takes an optimist to get more out of a thing than there is in it. Love may be blind, but the bride's mother usually has her eyes wide open. We admire a well informed man who is able to keep his information under cover. Anyway, people who are frankly poor do not have to associate with the rankly rich. If a young man's love is acceptable to a girl why should she be willing to return it? Some men are born to trouble, but the man who makes love simultaneously to two girl chums has it thrust upon him. Wigg—"I hate people who boast of their vices," Wagg—"So do I; almost as much as those who parade their virtues." Occasionally a woman seeks a divorce on the grounds of incompatibility — because her husband's income isn't compatible with her ideas of comfort.

Pasadena high school will debate the negative side of the question, which is PAPER MADE BY WASPS. The Way the Insects Gather Material and Form the Product. Wasps are wonderful papermakers. They make real paper, too, just as truly as human papermakers. A wasp files to a flower and covers the front of its body with the dust of the blossom. This is moistened and mixed with the wax which is secreted on the surface of the wasp's body. Then the insect repairs to an old fence or other piece of weather worn wood that has a loose, fuzzy, fibrous surface. The wasp rubs itself on this fibrous matter just as it did on the dust of the flower, and a layer of such matter adheres to the insect's body and becomes mingled with wax in the same way. Then away goes the wasp to the nest which it is building, places itself just on the spot where it wants the layer of paper to lie and then works itself into a heat by a furious motion of the wings, so that the wax is moistened next to the body, when the paper drops off in the right place, where it may be adjusted properly and fastened. The paper of the wasp is as much paper as the product of the paper mill.—Harper's Weekly. Trichromic Vision. In a recent discussion before the British Royal society of the phenomenon of "trichromic vision" the case of a scientist known for his researches in electrical science was described. When looking at the bright spectrum of sunlight this scientist sees only three colors—red, green and violet. For him there is no definite color in the part of the spectrum that appears to persons with normal vision pure blue. He can distinguish nothing of the nature of pure yellow in the spectrum. Reddish green would describe the orange and yellow parts and greenish violet the blue parts as he sees them. In testing with colored yarns the wool changed color to him when contrasted, although a normal sighted person saw no difference. These facts show how different colors may possibly appear to those about us. Hardieapped His Humor. The staff humorist approached the editor with a lugubrious face and his resignation.

When Whistler was living in the Latin Quarter in his youth a friend took him to task for his idleness. Why don't you pitch in and paint something? said the friend. Pretty soon your money will be all gone, and those three rolls of canvas will still be standing empty there behind the door, just as they have been standing for the last six weeks. Whistler as he lay on the bed smoking his pipe, answered lazily: But, you see, as long as there's nothing on the canvas I can sell it.
