SOCIALISTS PLATFORM Statement Issued on the Eve of Election Socialists of this city on Saturday afternoon issued the following statement to voters regarding the party's platform for Monday's municipal election: All the other candidates for city trustee at the election on Monday, April 8, having issued printed statements regarding municipal affairs, the Socialist city campaign committee hereby issues its statement explanatory of the platform adopted by Branch Anaheim of the Socialist party: We recommend relief for the unemployed by giving them employment on all public improvements. On public improvements authorized by the city, we insist that our citizens have preference on such work. We recommend the establishment of a public park and playground. We declare that the establishment of recreation grounds for adults and children should not be further delayed, in view of the constantly increasing values of land. We favor the purchase by the city of modern fire apparatus for efficient protection against fire. The other candidates neglected to tackle the matter of protection against fire, which we declare of great importance within the past year the fire company has twice requested the trustees to purchase auto truck running gear to be mounted with fire-fighting apparatus. Lack of funds was the excuse given by the trustees for their failure to purchase such running gear. However, within three months after the last committee from the fire company appeared before the board to urge purchase of such necessary fire apparatus the trustees, having available funds, awarded a contract for the building of a combination jail and bullpen in the rear of and adjoining the city hall, at a cost of about $3800. This great public imcavation up to March 1, 163,183,086 yards, leaving 32,141,293 yards still to be removed. SIERRA NEVADA GOLD PLACERS More Than $300,000,000 Have Been Output In 1849 an army of gold seekers—the Forty Niners—invaded the Sierra Nevada of California. They worked first along the present streams but gradually traced the metal to the old Tertiary river beds on the summits of the ridges and to the quartz veins, the primary source of all the gold in the Sierra. Millions of dollars were produced annually up to the seventies of the last century, but since that time, owing to the prohibition of hydraulic mining and the gradual exhaustion of the richer channels suitable for drift mining, the industry has slowly diminished, until now less than $1,000,000 is produced annually. More than $300,000,000 has been produced from these placers, and an account of the natural distribution and origin of this gold was recently published by the United States geological survey in Professional Paper 73, by Waldemar Lindgren. The first edition of this monographic report on the subject was almost immediately exhausted, but the volume has been reprinted and is now again available for free distribution. Referring to the present placer gold reserve of the Sierra, Mr. Lindgren says: "Gold is still contained in the Tertiary channels; miles of them are still unworked, but the problems are how to extract it without damage to other property from the debris and how to reduce the cost of drift mining so as to permit the exploitation of the less remunerative deep gravels." In this connection Mr. Lindgren has traced the old channels and has prepared and included in this report accurate maps showing in detail the Tertiary drainage lines. THE EFFICIENCY HOME Did you ever store a convience it is a line of good retail stores or your own community? It enables people any time before payday. In that way the many faults that could in buying from a tramping all over live an economy of time an energy. Furthermore, you shop at your local home store than any proprietors and clear home trade, or get it is human nature pains for people that for strangers. The will go to the utmost satisfaction for defeat and without irritating When locating for business, people are able in a place lacking in a place where they good. If we want to draw students, everyone must provide them with training of retail trade. The this is to patronize chant. It is the good fortune munity to have a lined and attractive stores. But if every were spent at home Lack of funds was the excuse given by the trustees for their failure to purchase such running gear. However, within three months after the last committee from the fire company appeared before the board to urge purchase of such necessary fire apparatus the trustees, having available funds, awarded a contract for the building of a combination-jail and bullpen in the rear of and adjoining the city hall, at a cost of about $3800. This great public improvement is a humiliating spectacle, and we hope that ultimately such valuable ground and space will be used for a better purpose. The money extracted from the taxpayers for the building of a combination jail and bull-pen would have bought an up-to-date fire apparatus; or, if the trustees thought that proper protection against fire was useless expense, they could have oiled ten miles of city streets. Do the voters think that the candidates for re-election as city trustees should be returned to office in view of the judgment they displayed in favoring the building of a jail and bull-pen instead of demanding either the purchase of fire-fighting apparatus or the oiling of ten miles of city streets? We recommend, in view of the high gas rates, that the city establish a municipal gas plant. The claim has been made that if the city had established a municipal gasplant in conjunction with the city light and water plant, gas could have been furnished to consumers for 75 cents, whereas the private corporation now charges $1.25. We recommend that the city trustees appoint a purchasing committee to consist of three members. We believe that such committee would be the means of securing more satisfactory rates in the purchase of city supplies. We recommend that the city trustees readjust the city licenses on an equitable basis. We believe that some city licenses are too high and others too low for amount of business done. We recommend that the city trustees provide for the effective removal of garbage from streets and alleys. We believe that the city teamsters should make Saturday of each week the special day for removing refuse from streets. We recommend that the city trustees make sufficient appropriation to keep streets in proper condition. Plank No. 8 is self-explanatory. We favor the abolition of contract work on city improvements in the Tertiary channels; miles of them are still unworked, but the problems are how to extract it without damage to other property from the debris and how to reduce the cost of drift mining so as to permit the exploitation of the less remunerative deep gravels." In this connection Mr. Lindgren has traced the old channels and has prepared and included in this report accurate maps showing in detail the Tertiary drainage lines. The decrease in hydraulic mining is partly outset by a new industry—dredging, which has been developed along the bottom lands flanking the range, and from this source during 1908 gold valued at nearly $7,500,000 was recovered. The gold found in the larger old river channels is about the size of flaxseed, most of the nuggets having been found either within or near the quartz veins. In general the channels yield from $70 to $500 to the linear foot, which may be compared with $100 a foot at Nome, Alaska, or $380 in the White Channel in Klondike, and $440 to $1293 in the Berry drift mines in Victoria, Australia. The total output of gold in California is estimated at $1,200,000,000 to $1,500,000,000, about one fifth of which has been derived from quartz veins, $300,000,000 from the Tertiary gravels, and the remainder from the Quaternary deposits. A copy of Mr. Lindgren's report—Professional Paper 73—may be had free of charge upon application to the Director, United States Geological Survey, Washington, D.C. The report is fully illustrated with photographs, diagrams, and topographic and geologic maps, and is believed to be the most complete and thorough description of a great placer-gold province ever published. DAIRY INTERESTS FACE FIGHT Lever Bill Aimes Blow at Butter-Making A great fight is on in the house of representatives, Washington, D.C., between the meat packers on the one side and the dairy interest on the other. The Lever bill now under consideration is objectionable because it reduces the tax on colored oleomargarine from 10 cents to 1 cent a pound. Also because the provision in section 1, act of congress, approved on May 9, 1902, is left out. Said act provides that goods when going into any state, or territory, from another place in a place lacking in a good place. If we want to draw students everyone must provide them with two of retail trade. The this is to patronize chant. It is the good fortune munity to have a line lipped and attractive stores. But if every were spent at home could grow faster, purchases, and employ more they would contributeidence of every residencethe prosperity of every der.

PANAMA CANAL Only one-sixth of the excavation necessary to open the Panama canal to navigation remains, and this must be completed in twenty-one months, if Col. Goethals is to redeem his promise to have an American battleship, probably the famous old Oregon, pass through the waterway on January 1, 1915. Big figures are required to tell what the canal workers have been doing and what they have to do. Last February they took 2,643,410 cubic yards of earth and rock out of the canal prism, making the total ex- of representatives, Washington, D.C., between the meat packers on the one side and the dairy interest on the other. The Lever bill now under consideration is objectionable because it reduces the tax on colored oleomargarine from 10 cents to 1 cent a pound. Also because the provision in section 1, act of congress, approved on May 9, 1902, is left out. Said act provides that goods when going into any state, or territory, from another state or territory, shall immediately become subject to the laws of such state. And because the following terms, "Manufacturers' original packages" and "Manufacturers' shipping packages" are used in different places in Mr. Lever's bill, and it is feared that this "original package" question without the provision of section 1, will nullify our state laws. The increase in production of butter in this state for the year ending September 30, 1911, is 4,391,388 lbs. and the decrease in the average price for the same year was 3.3 cts. per pound. For the best interest of the consumer and producer alike, the genuine article should be protected against fraud which is best done by making oleomargarine and butter of different colors. “If you refuse me, Miss Gladys, I shall get a rope and commit suicide. “No, colonel, you must not do that Papa said distinctly he would not have you hanging about here.” Remember W. M. Cooper for the best of fresh meats. THE EFFICIENCY OF BUYING AT HOME Did you ever stop to think what a convenience it is to have a full line of good retail stores at home in our own community? It enables people to see goods at any time before paying down money. In that way the purchaser detects many faults that could never be found in buying from a catalog cut. Furthermore you get your goods when you want them without bother, letter writing, or without the fatigue of a journey to a big city and then tramping all over its streets. It is an economy of time, car fares, human energy. Furthermore, you can do your shopping at your leisure, when you are in a mood for it, rather than in the haste and flurry of a trip out of town. In our home stores you take all the time you want to talk over your purchase and to inspect goods. You can positively assure yourself that you are buying right. Furthermore you get more personnel and intelligent attention in a home store than anywhere else. The proprietors and clerks must please home trade, or get out of business. It is human nature to take more pains for people that are known than for strangers. The home merchant will go to the utmost limit to give satisfaction for defects in the goods and without irritating red tape. When locating for residence or business, people are as slow to settle in a place lacking good stores as in a place where the water is not good. If we want to draw in new residents, everyone must do his share to provide them with the conveniences of retail trade. The only way to do this is to patronize the home merchant. It is the good fortune of this community to have a line of finely equipped and attractively stocked retail stores. But if every dollar possible were spent at home, these stores of seeing you at an early date, and with kindest personal regards, I am, Yours very truly, (Signed) S.C. Smith. PYTHAGORAS Somewhere about this time, twenty-four hundred and nine years ago, died Pythagoras of Samos, one of the most remarkable men in the whoe history of the race. Around the name of this wonderful man fable has woven all sorts of marvels. For many years Pythagoras was the oracle and high priest of one of the most illustrious societies of antiquity; was looked upon as being little less than a god; while his influence was such that the greatest of the earth were willing to make any sacrifices that might be required of them as the price of membership in his order. By the consensus of the ancient opinion Pythagoras was the first to coin the word "philosopher." He called himself not sophist (wise man) but philosopher (lover of wisdom). He was the founder of mathematics. The Descartes of the ancient time, he created the science of geometry. He is said to have discovered the great truth in music, that changes of sound are indissolubly connected with and dependent upon the changes in length and tension. He was the originator of the word "cosmos" (order, harmony), as applied to the system of Nature. The first to teach the idea of natural law he declared that the universe was a beautiful harmony, law assisting law and all laws working together to produce "cosmos"—beauty and perfection rather than chaos and confusion. Quite in keeping with his theory of natural law was his famous teaching that the "first principle of all things is numbers." The influence of Pythagoras seems to be immortal. It had much to do... SMITH FAVORS PROTECTION Congressman Writes Letter to C. C. Chapman The following letter from Congressman S. C. Smith has been received by C. C. Chapman: House of Representatives, Washington, D. C., Mar. 28, 1912. C. C. Chapman, Fullerton, Cal. Dear Sir and Friend: I have recently observed by the California newspapers that you are the nominee for delegate to the National convention on the Taft ticket, and about the same time I saw in the San Diego Union the inclosed copy of the resolutions adopted by the Santa Ana regulars. I am taking the liberty of writing you to express the hope that both you and Senator Ward, the other candidate for delegate, will find occasion to address the people of the district along the line of the second resolution and burn in on the mind of every voter in Southern California the truth therein set forth. I still have a very deep interest in the affairs of your portion of the state both because I am still its accredited representative in congress and because of the momentous consequences that wait on any serious reduction of the duties on your great products. To me, it is incomprehensible that any considerable portion of the people or the press of Southern California, including Los Angeles, should, under the banner of insurgency or progressivism, join in the outcry against substantial protection to all the industries of the country. It should be clearly understood by the people there, that here in congress the acid test of insurgency is, "Do you favor a low tariff?" Other things may be talked about and argued on occasions but there is absolutely no other line of legislation on which the insurgents pretend to be Keep your Lawn looking fine by mowing it with one of our Draw Tension Money Draw Tension Money Back Lawn Mowers Ask to see them.
