LIPTON COMES TO ARRANGE YACHT RACES CHALLENGED THREE TIMES FOR THE FAMOUS AMERICAN CUP PROMOTING SERIES OF SPEED TRIALS AT SAN FRANCISCO'S EXPOSITION (Correspondence of the Gazette.) San Francisco, Nov. 13.—Sir Thomas Lipton, the famous yachtman, who on three different occasions tried to "lift the America's cup," will reach this city on the 16th inst., to confer with President Charles C. Moore in regard to an international yacht race during the 1915 universal exposition. Sir Thomas was especially invited by the exposition to come here and during his stay will be entertained by the directors. The design for the golden plaque presented by the exposition as a trophy for the winner of the modern Pentathlon which is part of the Olympic games, has been approved by the exposition officials. This is a challenge trophy and will be competed for a second time in Berlin in 1916. It is planned that the tryouts for the Pentathlon will be held in this city during the national games in 1915. The winner of the Pentathlon must excel in the following events: Duel shooting, swimming three hundred metres, fencing with foil, riding single over a specially marked course not ex- The winner of the Pentathlon must excel in the following events: Duel shooting, swimming three hundred metres, fencing with foil, riding single over a specially marked course not exceeding three miles, and a cross-country foot race, distance three and three-fourths miles. The acceptance of this trophy was brought about through the efforts of Dr. Frederick J. V. Skiff, director-in-chief of the exposition, who is also a member of the board of governors of the American Athletic Union, and was director of the Olympic games at the St. Louis world’s fair. The design submitted is the work of Eric Lindberg, a world famous Swedish artist. It shows an Olympic goddess crowning the victor with a laurel wreath. At the base of the design are five wreaths, signifying that the winner of the Pentathlon proved his prowess in five different events. The famous Grand Trianon at Versailles, erected by Louis XIV for Mme. de Maintenon in 1687, is to be reproduced in 1915 at a cost of $50,000. The structure is to be erected in the concessions section of the exposition, and will house a Diorama of the Napoleon era. It is the first concession granted by the committee on concessions and admissions of the exposition, which consists of M. H. de Young, chairman, M. J. Brandenstein, A. W. Scott, Jr., Thornwell Mullally, Morris Meyerfeld and P. T. Clay. The granting of this concession is evidence of the care and judgment shown by the committee in selecting the best for the 1915 universal exposition. It is planned to reproduce all the important campaigns of Napoleon I. These scenes will be taken from celebrated paintings in the grand gallery of battles at Versailles. The artists will devote two years to preparing this wonderful exhibit. It will be seen for the first time in America at the 1915 exposition. Rodney S. Durkee, comptroller of the exposition, in his statement of the income, expenditures and subscriptions accounts for the entire period from the commencement of business in December, 1909, to September 30, 1912, states that $305,166.62 was used for the purchase of real estate, and that the buildings and grounds department has expended $340,342.23, which is an indication of its activity. SHADE TREES ON ROADSIDE No road can be considered entirely finished until it is lined on both sides with a row of suitable shade trees. The action of wind and sun is moderated by the shelter and shade of the trees which keep the roadbed in better condition. But the greatest benefit is the agreeable shade large trees afford the traveler on hot summer days. A well kept tree-lined road also adds much to the landscape. These greatly enhance the value of the adjoining property. In all our efforts to raise the permanent value of a landscape we must consider the fitness of its improvement; so with the planting of shade trees on our roadsides. In planting the roadsides we must see that the right kind of trees are selected. For instances, it would not do in our country to line them with large shade-making fruit trees bearing valuable fruits, such as good varieties of apple, pear, cherry, walnut, etc.; while trees bearing fruits of little value, except for the birds, might be of great value in some localities. Then again, central and especially northern California should not follow the example of southern California too closely by planting almost exclusively evergreen trees, because the southern part of the state is more semi-tropical by its geographical position and environment. Evergreen and tropical looking trees are quite an asset to draw and keep winter sojourners there. Deciduous trees are by far the most appropriate for roadside planting. RIVERS OF OBJECT INTERFACE WATER PLAYS IN DEVELOPING VAST RECORD MORE VALUABLE CALIFORNIA THAT PART OF OUR The material provides in large part be water-supply development of '49 its first great sult of finding gold and throughout the rapid growth of Ca possible by the dev supplies for use in later years came to activities, and especial California have these become so vast part of the state worth more than in the country. Throughout the Joaquin Valleys we relatively large valleys Still later came ther enormous important ter powers. In a preparing this wonderful exhibit. It will be seen for the first time in America at the 1915 exposition. Rodney S. Durkee, comptroller of the exposition, in his statement of the income, expenditures and subscriptions accounts for the entire period from the commencement of business in December, 1909, to September 30, 1912, states that $305,166.62 was used for the purchase of real estate, and that the buildings and grounds department has expended $340,342.23, which is an indication of its activity. This outlay covers architectural and engineering expenses, and the cost of filling in the overflow lands on the exposition site. The subscription accounts show total signed subscriptions of $6,095,350.00 and unsigned subscriptions of $1,453,-350.00, making a total of $7,548,700.00. "Of the unsigned subscriptions," says Comptroller Durkee, "there has been paid $2,325,801.29; or 38.16 per cent of the total. Inasmuch as but 40 per cent of the total has been called for at the time of this statement, I consider the proportion of collections very remarkable." P. E. ASKS FRANCHISE Will Construct Railway Into Orange From Santa Ana An application for a franchise for a street railway in the city of Orange has been filed with the city trustees by the Pacific Electric railroad, through the local committee working in connection with the railroad. The application stipulates that a 50-year franchise be granted over Lemon street. One of the conditions is the payment of a franchise tax of 2 percent of the gross earnings of the company in Orange, the first payment due at the expiration of five years. The application was granted at a meeting of the trustees held on Monday evening. All trees should be planted carefully. A strip of ground at least ten feet wide should be plowed and harrowed and in the center of this hole, at least three feet in diameter and two feet deep; dug for the trees. All trees should be guarded against stock browsing, and three feet or more of the limbs whitewashed to prevent sunburn. The soil around the trees should be worked after each irrigation to prevent baking and the rapid loss of moisture. Large wide-spreading trees should be planted from 40 to 60 feet apart, middle sized trees from 30 to 40 feet apart, small trees and palms from 25 to 40 feet.

In the days of '49 its first great boom was the result of finding gold in a creek bottom, and throughout the early gold days the rapid growth of California was made possible by the development of water supplies for use in placer mining. In later years came the great irrigation activities, and especially in Southern California have the agricultural products become so valuable that in that part of the state water is probably worth more than it is anywhere else in the country. Throughout the Sacramento and San Joaquin Valleys water has the same relatively large values for irrigation. Still later came the recognition of the enormous importance of California water powers. In a very few years the almost every stream reported a daily record of the discharge. A copy of the report can be procured free of cost on application to the director of the United States Geological Survey, Washington, D.C. CALIFORNIA CITRUS FRUITS Industry Brings $35,000,000 to State—$20,000,000 to Railroads There have been many reasons for the increase in financial returns on citrus fruit growing. Our fruit is unique in character, totally different from any orange previously handled by the trade. The acquired experience in handling the output, both in methods of marketing, methods of packing, and improved transportation facilities. All problems of the early days have been solved, and where losses were once incurred profits are now made. Added to these we have the fact that dealers, large and small, throughout the United States and Canada and even Great Britain and Australia, have learned the lesson that they can handle California, grown oranges, without material loss by shrinkage, which is not possible with oranges grown in humid tropical climates. The citrus industry of California covers 150,000 acres of land out of the 290,000 irrigated acres in Southern California, exclusive of the Imperial Valley and the Colorado River region. There are 16,000 acres in Tulare county and in other districts in Central California. It represents an investment of $175,000,000. It supports 150,000 people di- lemons is 50,000 carloads, 40 per cent of which are shipped in the form of fresh fruit, one-third of which comes to the United States. The Italian orange production is 10,000 carloads. From Spain the exports of oranges equal 40,000 carloads; from Cuba, 1,000 carloads; from Jamacia, 600; from Japan, 1,000; from Jaffa and other Asiatic points, 3,500 carloads; from Porto Rico, 750, making a total citrus fruit production from these countries of more than 100,000 carloads. The production from California is approximately 50,000 carloads; from Florida, 12,000 to 15,000 carloads, making a total citrus fruit production of the world of approximately 170,000 to 175,000 carloads. The 191213 crop of California citrus fruits will total 55,000 carloads and will be worth $57,000,000, according to railroad officials who have had their experts make a careful estimate in all districts. TOURIST RUSH BEGINS Santa Fe Adds to Equipment Month Before Usual Time The winter tourist travel to Southern California has begun, one month earlier than ever before. Demands for berths and compartments have been multiplying so fast that the Santa Fe has ordered second and third sections of its regular limited train from Chicago. Other roads are feeling the rush. J. J. Byrne, assistant passenger traffic manager of the Santa Fe, scanning a bunch of telegrams yesterday, said: "These are notices of extra sections of the regular Santa Fe limited for the latter part of the month. It means that many days we will have to double our train service, and even triple it." Yet this is November. Usually we begin to run extra sections the latter part of November. This year the rush promises to break every record for tourist travel westward. The second and third sections will leave twenty minutes or more after the regular trains and maintain exactly the same later years came the great irrigation activities, and especially in Southern California have the agricultural products become so valuable that in that part of the state water is probably worth more than it is anywhere else in the country. Throughout the Sacramento and San Joaquin Valleys water has the same relatively large values for irrigation. Still later came the recognition of the enormous importance of California water powers. In a very few years the development of water power has grown until California ranks second only to New York, the total installed horsepower in the state in the year 1911 being over 500,000. It is apparent that in a state so thoroughly dependent upon its water supplies investigations which will reveal the amount of water available in the streams and beneath the ground are of the highest importance. The people of California have recognized this and for many years have through their legislature co-operated with the United States Geological Survey in the determination of stream flow and the location of underground supplies. The Geological Survey has just issued Water-Supply Paper 291, on the surface water supply of the Pacific coast in California, 1910, by W. B. Clapp, F. F. Henshaw, and H. D. McGlashan. This report contains the results of measurements of some of the California rivers, made during the year 1910, at regular stations maintained by the Survey in co-operation with the office of the state engineer. All the important rivers of the state were covered in this investigation, and in addition many of the smaller tributaries and irrigation canals. There are in all 98 stations for which data are reported in this publication, and work has been carried on in a way that affords for by shrinkage, which is not possible with oranges grown in humid tropical climates. The citrus industry of California covers 150,000 acres of land out of the 290,000 irrigated acres in Southern California, exclusive of the Imperial Valley and the Colorado River region. There are 16,000 acres in Tulare county and in other districts in Central California. It represents an investment of $175,000,000. It supports 150,000 people directly and indirectly. It employs 25,000 people in the groves and packing houses. The groves are owned by 12,000 to 15,000 farmers. The industry brings from $25,000,000 to $35,000,000 to the state and from $15,000,000 to $20,000,000 to the transportation companies. In the counties south of the Tehachapi, exclusive of Imperial Valley and the Colorado River district, there are probably not less than 300,000 acres that will eventually be added to the irrigated area for crops of all kinds. At least 100,000 acres of this land in Southern California is adapted to orange and lemon growing. There are now 255,000 irrigated acres in the Imperial and Colorado River sections, and not less than 500,000 acres in those districts will eventually come under a ditch, making a total possible irrigated area of approximately 1,500,000 irrigated acres in Southern California, one-fifth of which may in time be devoted to the culture of citrus fruits. These estimates of the irrigated areas are made by C. E. Tait, irrigation engineer of the department of agriculture. From these figures it will be seen that the present shipments of citrus fruits are likely to be doubled in the next ten years. In Italy the annual production of "These are notices of extra sections of the regular Santa Fe limited for the latter part of the month. It means that many days we will have to double our train service, and even triple it. Yet this is November. Usually we begin to run extra sections the latter part of November. This year the rush promises to break every record for tourist travel westward. The second and third sections will leave twenty minutes or more after the regular trains and maintain exactly the same schedule. Prosperity throughout the United States and an ever-increasing liking for California are the chief causes of this increased travel."

Some wanted a maple wood plank, but the others held out for mahogany with a dull finish." The Turkish army is to advance, says a report, but it had better keep the way open for a hasty retreat.
