STATE HIGHWAY MATTERS ARE OF INTEREST ECONOMY MARKS COMMISSION'S ACTS IN FREIGHT AND MATERIAL CONTRACTS COMMISSION'S POSITION IN ROUTING THE HIGHWAY CONFIRMED BY ATTORNEY GENERAL The great problem that confronted the California Highway Commission at the beginning was the interpretation of the meaning of the State Highway Act of 1906, as to the routing of the highway. It was found even with the aid of good lawyers that it was not an easy matter to construe the meaning of that act. Aside from the legal difficulties, there were two divergent and irreconcilable policies that were urged upon the commission in locating the highway. The situation compelled the commission to take either one or the other horn of this dilemma. Either they must route the main highway by "the most direct and practicable route" in the language of the highway act, ignoring county lines and local interests to the end that the state as a whole should be best served, or in response to appeals from various counties, they must proceed to lay out this great highway in a series of county links, each link to be rather a part of and to serve the sides to complete its system, so naturally and inevitably it would seem that, in laying out a great state highway, directness should be recognized as the first and foremost requirement, in order that it may be serviceable as the main artery of a great highway system. So interpreting the spirit and intent of the highway act, and so viewing in its large state-wide aspects the state highway problem, and upon the recommendation of the highway engineer, the California Highway Commission proceeded to fix the routes and commence active construction work. WEISEL SANGUINE OF SUCCESS Progressive Candidate For Assembly Making Energetic Fight For Office Hans V. Weisel, progressive candidate for the assembly in the 76th district has visited many sections of Orange county during the campaign and is making favorable impression among his supporters. Mr. Weisel is sanguine that he will succeed at next Tuesday's election, and desires that his home town give him as large a majority as his merits deserve. Personally an honorable and upright man, there is little disposition to criticize him for his affiliation with the third term party. “This is my first effort to secure public office,” he said yesterday, “and I believe I shall win. I hope that my home town will give me a good majority for here is where my interest lies and here I am best known. I think I can be of more service to my county than my opponent, for if elected assemblyman, I will go to Sacramento and affiliate with the state administration and the forces behind it. I think I can accomplish more than could my side.” HOMEAGAIN ACROSS SEA (Continued from of teachers are Hawaiians, 175; Amherst, 37; Germans, 13; Chinese, 25; Japanese other foreigners, 27; the groupe of islands is over $50,000 per mile Honolulu. Some of its things are fine, but on very poor, in all, no with the buildings on it. I also wish to mention factories are a great city, one in particular, the Honolulu Iron Works something of Through the courtesies had the pelasure of giving immense shops which terrestre to me. Now a scripture of the island. The Island of Oahu lulu is located, is the first in importance area of the Hawaiian group of 598 square miles, 4000 acres and a population and composed of all account of the many need to be idle, in many more laborers oment the year around performed by foreign for their labor on an day, which is considere for the amount of work few years ago the state from $4 to $6 per mille count of the scarcity matters were compelled The situation compelled the commission to take either one or the other horn of this dilemma. Either they must route the main highway by "the most direct and practicable route" in the language of the highway act, ignoring county lines and local interests to the end that the state as a whole should be best served, or in response to appeals from various counties, they must proceed to lay out this great highway in a series of county links, each link to be rather a part of and to serve the functions of a county system and to satisfy local travel. There was in the beginning a popular notion, held even by county officials, that the eighteen million dollar highway fund was an immense grab bag, into which each county had an independent right to dip its hands for the money with which to construct public roads within its own jurisdiction, in accordance with its own ideas of what was expedient and best for itself. It is an old axiom that the test of any law or rule is its universal application. While making their preliminary tours over the state, during which they covered over six thousand miles up and down our great valleys and through the mountain districts, the highway commissioners had an opportunity to meet the people of the various sections of the state and to personally discuss with representative bodies the question of highway routes. The commissioners at every opportunity thus offered, laid the matter before the people. The popular response was all but unanimous in declaring that it was the business of the California Highway Commission to lay out the great trunk lines of the state highway by the shortest and most feasible routes. It was seen at once by the people themselves that if each county were permitted to dictate how the state highway should run through their particular section, it would be "as crooked as a ram's horn." It would be lengthened by hundreds of miles and its cost thereby proportionately increased. At the same time its value as a great thoroughfare, contributing to ready and convenient intercommunication between the widely separated portions of the state, would be greatly impaired. If, for instance, in Butte county, the main highway were diverted to the county seat, Oroville, and then zigzagged back to make connections, and this were permitted to be the plan pursued in routing the state highway in other counties. Butte county people in tra- him for his affiliation with the third term party. “This is my first effort to secure public office,” he said yesterday, “and I believe I shall win. I hope that my home town will give me a good majority for here is where my interest lies and here I am best known. I think I can be of more service to my county than my opponent, for if elected assemblyman, I will go to Sacramento and affiliate with the state administration and the forces behind it. I think I can accomplish more than could my Democratic opponent. I shall go into office, if elected, absolutely unpledged and will work for the best interest of my constituents and the state at large. I have been asked by many prohibitionists to vote in favor of state-wide prohibition, but this I have declined to do. I have informed them that if a referendum vote on prohibition is desired in the state, I shall vote in favor of submitting it to the people, and let them decide the question for themselves.” Mr. Weisel is a young attorney who has lived in Anaheim many years, and has personally a high reputation for probity of character. COUNTY'S REGISTERED VOTE Total registration of voters in Orange county for next Tuesday's election aggregates 17,439. This is the largest registration ever recorded in the county, and places Orange 12th in the 58 counties of the state in respect to population.

We much higher here than the laborer, however, yet rice being their other things that when not think of eating, they thrive and are able to work in a way. The rough and mountainous over the island it seems of sugar cane, pineapple tobacco and bananas. It was our pleasure auto drives through it and it was a most beautiful many sugar millseries, rice mills and ing stations showing everywhere. The soil is quite different on the main lands; according to color, black. The red soil is fertile than the others; be best adapted for these and pineapples. One of the most trips that it was our while there was an Guy and wife of 87 miles tending around the northwest portions of through the valley by mountain ranges. They very popular drive and beauty. Another one enjoyed was when they visor, Chas. Arnold, owed vate car and we went the immense cane field much time in viewing fields. Now a few woke the splendid harbor practically all of the trapping of the territory. Her lines which touch from the ports of San Francisco and Santa Cruz shore of the Pacific and ippines, China and Japan age about two steamed way. They carry pass Honolulu and San Felipe steamers are operated on panies and have cert means of great revenue and right here I wish to who has the notion that been a financial burden States, has a mistake subject. On the contrary has always been more porting. I find during ending June 30, 1911, custom house collected the post office $103,000 total revenue office $20 of over $1,976,000 we national treasury from HI If, for instance, in Butte county, the main highway were diverted to the county seat, Oroville, and then zigzagged back to make connections, and this were permitted to be the plan pursued in routing the state highway in other counties. Butte county people, in traveling through Tehama and Shasta to Siskiyou or through Yuba and Placer to Sacramento, would find themselves covering perhaps double the mileage that would be necessary if the highway were routed by the "most direct and practicable route." Therefore, the people of Butte county, including the ambitious citizens of their thriving county seat, Oroville, united in declaring that Oroville waived all claim to be upon the main highway, and that Butte county would accept and be satisfied with any route of the main highway selected by the commission through their county which would best serve the purpose of the state at large. County after county, speaking through their Boards of Supervisors, likewise assured this commission that as soon as it had its discretion fixed the location of the main highway through their several counties, they would proceed at once to lay out and construct permanent county systems of roads to connect with and complete the commission's highway scheme. Just as naturally as a great river, like the Mississippi, flows down the trough of the valley, draining into the sea and inviting its tributaries to feed their volume into it, or as a great transcontinental railroad by the economic laws of traffic and engineering is necessarily constructed by the most direct and practicable routes, depending upon its tributary lines from both HARVEST SOCIAL Loara Parent Teachers' Association Preparing Unique Entertainment On Friday evening, November 8th, the Loara Parent-Teacher Association will hold a harvest social at the West Anaheim school house. Doors will be open at 7:30 and a general invitation is extended to all to attend. The trustees have engaged Mr. Wrate, of Los Angeles, chairman of the city playground department, to be present and talk upon playground equipment. He will illustrate his talk with models, and an urgent invitation is extended to every trustee, grade teacher, and member of the Anaheim Parent-Teacher Association to be present. This is an unusual opportunity to consult with a high authority upon this subject. Following this, a peddlers' parade will be given, which in itself is a whole entertainment. Immediately after the parade the peddlers' wares, consisting of sandwiches, tomales, coffee, lemonade, cake and doughnuts, ice cream, peanuts and popcorn, home-made candy, and other things useful and ornamental will be on sale. HOMEAGAIN FROM ACROSS THE SEAS (Continued from page 1) of teachers are Hawaiians, 83; part Hawaiians, 175; Americans, 374; English, 37; Germans, 13; Portuguese, 55; Chinese, 25; Japanese, 6; Koreans, 4; other foreigners, 27, a total of 799 on the groupe of islands, and the pay roll is over $50,000 per month in the city of Honolulu. Some of the school buildings are fine, but on the outside are very poor, in all, nothing to compare with the buildings on this coast. I also wish to mention that the many factories are a great revenue to the city, one in particular I will mention is the Honolulu Iron Works which employs something over 500 men. Through the courtesy of Mr. Anges I had the pelasure of going through the immense shops which was of great interest to me. Now I will give a description of the island. The Island of Oahu, on which Honolulu is located, is the third in size but first in importance among the islands of the Hawaiian group. It has an area of 598 square miles, composed of 384,000 acres and a population of 81,993, and composed of all nationalities. On account of the many industries no one need to be idle, in fact, I find that many more laborers could find employment the year around; the labor is performed by foreigners who receive for their labor on an average of $1 per day, which is considered good wages for the amount of work done. Only a few years ago the standard wages was from $4 to $6 per month, but on account of the scarcity of help the planters were compelled to import labor ted States supplied more than $22,300,000 worth. Most of this came through the port of San Francisco. I find also for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1911, that exports total $42,666,197 and the imports total $28,065,626; also find the amount of taxes collected for the past year was $510,946.91. I cannot refrain from speaking of the splendid system of roads on the island. There are about 150 miles of fine roads leading out of Honolulu. The hard lava stone, everywhere available makes an ideal road material and most of the roads have a hard surface of durable macadam, which makes for good automobiling. It cost a great deal of money to build roads through the mountains, as much as $20,000 per mile in some places, and the usual amount required to maintain the roads per year is $200 per mile, but it certainly is a pleasure to travel over them and out side of the city limits one is allowed to go as fast as his auto will go. We found the weather much warmer than on the coast, although the temperature does not register as high. It is more oppressive during the day but cools off in the evening. The highest temperature in summer is 85 and the lowest in winter is 55. The rainfall for the season is from 30 to 60 inches, depending upon the locality. The past year has been short and the planters feel the effects. Now, Mr. Editor, I will give a brief report of the different industries on the island, beginning with sugar. It is apparent that sugar is the chief agricultural product of the island, and that the main industries of the islands are at present in one way or another dependent upon the sugar industry. There are 213,000 acres planted to sugar cane, partly on land owned by sugar planters, and partly on leased land. About 105,000 acres of this land have been reclaimed by irrigation at a cost of about $15,000,000. About 41,000 tons of fertilizer in addition to stable manure are used annually in the production of cane. There are 50 or 60 plantations and mills on the islands for the manufacture of sugar. There was produced for the year of 1911, 1,011,215,858 pounds of sugar valued at which spring from the ground near the base of the stem. A banana plantation produces from 750 to 300 bunches per acre. This industry I find, has on account of the neglect of proper attention to the white scale or the fruit fly on the fruit greatly reduced the shipments to the coast, which is proper and right. I also told that Coffee was first grown in Hawaii in a small way in late it was first taken up by the white farmers and native Hawaiian and yielded such good returns that the industry developed rapidly, but a setback was suffered a few years ago as a result of the fall in the price of coffee, but now the outlook for the industry is much better. The amount of coffee exported last year was 25,000 bags with a value of $175,000. It is estimated by the planters the yield per acre is about 650 pounds and the cost of production is estimated at from 7 to 10 cents per pound, so that with the present prices of coffee, the outlook for the industry is much brighter. The tobacco industry is forging to the front very rapidly also. The natives have long grown a coarse, strong grade chiefly for smoking purposes. Experiments in the culture of improved varieties of tobacco were begun about six years ago and have led to the formation of three companies, two of which are already growing tobacco. The cured crop of the present year amounts to about 75,000 pounds. The yield per acre is from 900 to 1,200 pounds and at the present prices, much more interest is taken in its production. Now, Mr. Editor, for fear I am intruding upon your valuable time and space, I will bring this to a close, trusting that some of your readers may find a few things of interest in this. While we had a fine voyage and enjoyed our visit with Guy and family, we are glad to return to Anaheim and again take up our daily duties and to work to boost for Anaheim. We received a copy of the Gazette each week while away and were glad to be kept posted on everything at home. Very truly, J.W.DUCKWORTH. first in importance among the islands of the Hawaiian group. It has an area of 598 square miles, composed of 384,000 acres and a population of 81,993, and composed of all nationalities. On account of the many industries no one need to be idle, in fact, I find that many more laborers could find employment the year around; the labor is performed by foreigners who receive for their labor on an average of $1 per day, which is considered good wages for the amount of work done. Only a few years ago the standard wages was from $4 to $6 per month, but on account of the scarcity of help the planters were compelled to import labor and in consequence compelled to make the increase. While I find living much higher here than in the States, the laborer, however, lives very cheaply, rice being their main food and other things that white people would not think of eating, but they seem to thrive and are able to perform their work in a way. The Island is very rough and mountainous. In traveling over the island it seems one vast field of sugar cane, pineapples, rice, coffee, tobacco and bananas. It was our pleasure to take many auto drives through those great fields and it was a most beautiful sight with the many sugar mills, pineapple caneries, rice mills and the many pumping stations showing great prosperity everywhere. The soil is quite different from those on the main lands; they are classed according to color, red, yellow and black. The red soil is considered more fertile than the others and appears to be best adapted for the raising of cane and pineapples. One of the most extensive single trips that it was our pleasure to take while there was an auto drive with Guy and wife of 87 miles in length extending around the northeast and northwest portions of the island and through the valley between the two mountain ranges. This certainly is a very popular drive and one of great beauty. Another one which we much enjoyed was when the popular supervisor, Chas. Arnold, offered us his private car and we went by rail through the immense cane fields, and spent much time in viewing those immense fields. Now a few words in regard to the splendid harbor which handles practically all of the trans-Pacific shipping of the territory. The many steamers lines which touch the island are from the ports of San Francisco, Vancouver, and Santa Cruz on the west shore of the Pacific and from the Philippines, China and Japan—on an average about two steamers weekly each way. They carry passengers between Honolulu and San Francisco. These steamers are operated by different companies and have certainly proven a means of great revenue to the island, and right here I wish to say to any one who has the notion that Hawaii has been a financial burden to the United States, has a mistaken idea on the subject. On the contrary, the territory has always been more than self-supporting. I find during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1911, the Honolulu custom house collected over $1,654,000, the post office $103,000, the international revenue office $218,000, or a total of over $1,976,000 went into the national treasury from Hawaii. The fed agricultural product of the island, and that the main industries of the islands are at present in one way or another dependent upon the sugar industry. There are 213,000 acres planted to sugar cane, partly on land owned by sugar planters, and partly on leased land. About 105,000 acres of this land have been reclaimed by irrigation at a cost of about $15,000,000. About 41,000 tons of fertilizer in addition to stable manure are used annually in the production of cane. There are 50 or 60 plantations and mills on the islands for the manufacture of sugar. There was produced for the year of 1911, 1,011,215,858 pounds of sugar valued at $36,704,656.90; and of molasses, 1,801-706 gallons, valued at $89,708.00. During the year there was shipped to the United States $35,612,887 worth of raw sugar and $1,091,769 worth of refined sugar, $89,708 worth of molasses. There is only one refinery on the group of islands and that is near Honolulu, which through the kindness of Mr. Peterson, I had the pleasure of going through. Although not in operation, it was very interesting. On all of the large plantations the land is plowed to a depth of from one to three feet. The cane is planted in rows from cuttings and requires from 12 to 18 months to mature and in order to have a crop for each year's run, there are three crops all the while growing. The average crop of cane per acre is 60 tons, although I saw some fields which it was said would make 90 tons. It requires from 8 to 9½ tons of cane to produce a ton of sugar. The season for the mills in operation extends from November to July. The cane requires a great deal of water and is irrigated when the rains are not sufficient, and the water is obtained by large pumping plants. The water is pumped into large reservoirs which are located over the plantation. When ready to harvest, it is stripped of the blades, cut, loaded onto cars, and hauled to the mill to be manufactured into sugar. The raising of pineapples is the next industry of importance in the islands. I was informed that about 15,000 acres of pineapples were grown last year and the acreage is fast growing. This industry began in 1900 and there is about $2,000,000 invested in it. There are on the islands nine canneries. The output for last year was worth $22,-964.41. It requires from 35 to 60 inches of rainfall to produce good pineapples. They are grown from plants, set in rows from 18 inches to two feet apart each way, requiring about 12,000 plants per acre. We took a drive one day and passed through a stretch of 4,000 acres of this fruit and visited one of the canneries and saw the green fruit canned and ready for the market. Rice growing is the next important industry of the islands. The first exportation of rice took place in 1862,and since that time it has increased until now there are over 12,000 acres planted to rice, producing an annual crop valued at $2,500,000. It is the chief article of diet of the Orientals and its production is almost wholly in the hands of Chinese. In the first place the rice is sown in nursery beds and then transplanted. From three to seven seedlings are planted in clumps about one foot apart each way. It is grown on low, damp land. The fields that combine simplicity, efficiency, low cost of maintenance Honolulu and San Francisco. These steamers are operated by different companies and have certainly proven a means of great revenue to the island, and right here I wish to say to any one who has the notion that Hawaii has been a financial burden to the United States, has a mistaken idea on the subject. On the contrary, the territory has always been more than self-supporting. I find during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1911, the Honolulu custom house collected over $1,654,000, the post office $103,000, the international revenue office $218,000, or a total of over $1,976,000 went into the national treasury from Hawaii. The federal government during the same period spent in maintenance of custom house, postoffice, internal revenue office, immigration station, marine hospital, quarantine station, United States district court, light houses, harbors, and the territorial government, approximately $400,000, or about 20 per cent of the amount of the revenues. The appropriation for new light houses and harbor improvements which are of international rather than local importance, amounts to upwards of a million dollars. I also find that there is an appropriation of $850,000 for a federal building for Honolulu, but all the public improvements yet made or provided for by congress are more than equal by two years' income from the territory. These figures, of course, do not include the expenditures to be made in fortifications and the naval station at Pearl harbor, which while important to Hawaii are also vital to the interest of the whole United States. Wish to say that the United States is making great preparations for fortification on the island, having stationed over 7,000 soldiers and officers there at the present time and it is expected in a short time it will have double that number. The Schofield barracks, located some 17 miles out from Honolulu, is the headquarters of the Fifth U.S. cavalry, where 4,000 soldiers are quartered. The government is spending thousands of dollars in buildings at that point. I also find since Hawaii became an organized territory on June 15, 1900, the records show in the 11 years ending June 30, 1911, the Honolulu custom house has paid into the national treasury a total of nearly $15,-000,000 and besides the above showing, Hawaii is a customer of the United States not to be dispensed, for during the last fiscal year of the $27,500,000 of imports into the territory, the Uni- Rice growing is the next important industry of the islands. The first exportation of rice took place in 1862, and since that time it has increased until now there are over 12,000 acres planted to rice, producing an annual crop valued at $2,500,000. It is the chief article of diet of the Orientals and its production is almost wholly in the hands of Chinese. In the first place the rice is sown in nursery beds and then transplanted. From three to seven seedlings are planted in clumps about one foot apart each way. It is grown on low, damp land. The fields are submerged during about four-fifths of the growing season. Two crops are produced annually, one in the spring and one in the fall. The usual yield of clean rice ranges from 3,000 to 6,000 pounds per acre and the net profit I am told is from $50 to $100 per acre. The rental ordinarily paid for rice land is from $10 to $50 per acre. When it is remembered that over 21,000,000 pounds of rice are imported to the island from Japan and China annually, it is apparent that there is room for the extension of the rice industry. Bananas are planted in rows on very low, damp land, where the plants may have an abundance of water. The plants fruit at the age of 15 to 20 months, and are then cut down to make room for new growth of suckers, VOTE FOR William Kettner Democratic Nominee FOR CONGRESS ELEVENTH DISTRICT "The Man of the People, for the People," who will work for the best interests of the whole District.
