Applicants must fill out a campers' application blank, and have same approved by some member of the county committee. This must be accompanied by a deposit of $2 and the balance paid by August 1st. In case sickness prevents a boy going the $2 will be returned. The county committee reserves the right to reject any application. Hand your application to the nearest member of the county committee or mail to the county secretary. Each county is limited to 50 boys. After August 1st vacancies may be filled from either county. The camp is under the supervision of the county committees of Orange and San Bernardino counties. Robert J. Hamilton, county secretary of Orange county, who has had charge of four camps for the Y. M. C. A. of Oak Park, Illinois, will act as camp superintendent. He will be assisted by a corps of leaders from the two counties, all being strong Christian young men, each of whom will be responsible for a tent of seven or eight boys. Each camper pays $10 which pays the expenses from Avalon and all expenses at camp. Railroad and boat fares should be arranged with the county secretary or chairman of transportation committee. Reduced rates may be secured from each county by special arrangement. Not over $1 need be brought as spending money. What to bring—Bedding: Two comforters, blankets, small pillow and slips.

This falling off, according to P. S. Smith, of the United States Geological Survey, is attributable to three main causes—first, a decrease in the amount of winter mining; second, a general decrease in the number of mining operations, except dredging; and third, the handling of low-grade material. All these causes may be referred more or less directly to the exhaustion of the known rich bonanzas before enterprises have been established capable of handling cheaply the large amounts of low-grade material which are known to exist on the peninsula. From this statement it may be inferred that at some future time the gold production of the Seward Peninsula will materially increase. Although practically all the mineral production has been derived from gold placers, interest has been renewed in the tin deposits, and a production of nearly 100 tons of concentrates, worth about $50,000 is reported from the tin placers on Buck Creek. Not only has dredging for placer tin been carried on, but certain lode tin mines near York have been reopened under the superintendence of a competent mining engineer. It is understood that the company intends to ship the tin concentrates to Seattle, where they will be smelted. While on a trip into the Alatna-Noatak region last year Mr. Smith spent several days obtaining notes on the mining industry in Seward Peninsula, and these have just been published as Bulletin 520-M (an advance chapter from "Mineral Resources of Alaska, 1911"), a copy of which may be obtained free on application to the Director of the Geological Survey, Washington, D.C.

The honor emblems will be given NATIONAL IRRIGATION CONGRESS Many Californians Will Attend This Meeting at Salt Lake Salt Lake City, July 16. A large and representative delegation is coming from California to the National Irrigation Congress, whose 20th session will be held in this city September 30 to October 3. California's interest in irrigation comes out of the fact that up to 1910 more than seventy-two million dollars was expended in that state to bring under cultivation 2,664,104 acres, according to statistics supplied by Secretary Arthur Hooker. Despite internal strife, Mexico is showing such interest in the irrigation congress as to have determined to send a representation to Salt Lake. Dr. E. McQueen Gray, foreign secretary of the congress, has been informed that President Madero will name a delegation from that country in a brief time. CONTRACT AWARDED Knights of Pythias to Have Handsome Hall in This City Contractor O. Lagman was last week awarded the contract for erecting the new Pythian building which is to be constructed at the corner of Los Angeles and Chartres streets in the near future. Lagman's bid was for $11,500. Other bidders were A. Straley and E. L. Goodrich, of this city, G. W. Jorns of Buena Park and C. S. Schum of Los Angeles. The building will be modern in every respect and is of a very handsome style of architecture. Work will begin immediately. "Why don't you take a part in politics?" "I never take a part in anything," replied Mr. Dustin Stax. "My rule is all or nothing." SHORT COURSES AT THE DAVIS SCHOOL STATE PROVIDES EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES AT UNIVERSITY FARM TUITION BEGINS SEPTEMBER 23—CLASSES ARE OPEN TO ALL An act of the legislature of 1905 provided for the purchase of a farm for the University of California to be known as the University Farm and to be used by the College of Agriculture for purposes of experimentation and instruction in agriculture. In addition to other details the act provided that "short courses of instruction shall also be arranged for in each of the leading branches of agricultural industry, so regulated as to provide for popular attendance and general instruction in agricultural practice." Conforming to this act, and with funds appropriated by each succeeding legislature, short courses have been given annually, beginning in the fall of 1908. The attendance and the expressions of hearty appreciation of the courses have been gratifying to the university and have indicated that the plans adopted are satisfactory to the majority. Because of the extreme specialization in California agriculture, the courses are divided into units cor- Horticulture, Monday, October 14th, 8-12 A.M. Instructions begins 1 P.M. Poultry Husbandry, six weeks' course, Monday, September 23rd, 8-12 A.M. Instruction begins 1 P.M., two weeks' course, Monday, October 7th, 8-12 A.M. Instruction begins 1 P.M. Dairy Manufactures. Tuesday, October 1. 8-12 A.M. and 1-5 P.M. Instruction begins October 2, 8 A.M. Dairy Farming or Animal Industry. Instruction begins 8 A.M. of first day. Registration at any office hour prior to that date. While it is recommended that students register at the hours named and thus be present for the entire course yet they may register at any time. The registration office is open from 8-12 and 1-5 daily, except Saturday afternoon and Sunday. Expenses Ample living accommodations are found at Davis in hotels and private families with board and room at about $25 per month. Board may be secured at the University Farm dining hall at $5 per week or $25 per month. It is probable that a few short course students may be provided with rooms in the dormitories. The price is $2 per week. A small fee is charged each student to cover cost of materials used in laboratories and demonstrations. In the courses which include milk testing a deposit for breakage is also charged but such portion as is not needed to pay for breakage is returned. The full fee and deposit for each course are to be paid whether the participant is present the whole or only part of the course except in Horticulture and Vitis-culture, where the minimum fee is $2, if attendance is two weeks or less. Theodore In his Speech a velt Dam said: Conforming to this act, and with funds appropriated by each succeeding legislature, short courses have been given annually, beginning in the fall of 1908. The attendance and the expressions of hearty appreciation of the courses have been gratifying to the university and have indicated that the plans adopted are satisfactory to the majority. Because of the extreme specialization in California agriculture, the courses are divided into units corresponding to California practice, and the length of each unit course is fixed at about two weeks. The units are so timed, however, that any person desiring may attend three different courses covering a period of six weeks. Each course is arranged with a full daily schedule and thus there is little opportunity to pursue two courses simultaneously. For 1912 the courses begin September 23rd, slightly earlier than in former years, in order that they may be completed prior to general election on November 5th. One exception is the course in dairy manufactures, which continues to November 21st. Short Course Calendar 1912 General Agriculture, two weeks, September 23rd-October 5th.

Students in dairy courses are required to wear white muslin suits and caps in the laboratories, and to keep them clean. Each student should provide himself with at least two suits—cost about $1 each. In field work or handling livestock the student should wear overalls and jumper. The cost of text and note books depends largely upon the desire of the individual. Text books are not required in any course except Dairy Manufactures, where the cost does not exceed $5. Reduced Rates on All Railroads Davis, the home of the University Farm, is on the Southern Pacific railway, 13 miles west of Sacramento, and within easy access from all points. Attendants upon the short courses may secure a round trip rate of one and one-third lowest first class fare on the receipt-certificate plan from all stations in California including Reno, Nevada. Stop-over privileges may be secured on the going trip if the agent at initial point is asked for ticket allowing such privileges and by paying the regular stopover fare. No stopovers are allowed on the return trip. In all cases ask for receipt-certificate when purchasing ticket to Davis. This must be signed by the clerk at the University Farm before return ticket can be secured at one-third fare. In no case can one-third return fare be obtained if the purchaser fails to obtain receipt-certificate at his home station.

"Who is that woman sitting on your side porch?" "Hush. She's my next door neighbor." "What is she doing there?" "Why, she's interested in a serial story in a magazine I let her take, and now she's waiting for me to bring home the next number." "Rather cheeky, isn't it?" "No, no. I've got her lawn-mower."
