STARRY UNIVERSE PRESENTS MANY MARVELS STUDY OF HEAVENS AT LICK OBSERVATORY ADDS MUCH TO SCIENCE OF ASTRONOMY NORTH STAR A TRIPLE SUN—THREE NEW MOONS DISCOVERED FOR JUPITER The particular universe of stars in which we dwell is half again as large in scale as the world has been supposing. Our own sun is still youthful, and keeps traveling northwardly through space at the comparatively leisurely pace of twelve miles per second, or only two-thirds the average speed of stars of its own class. The north star is not really a single star, but triple, consisting of three suns revolving about a common center. These are some of the recent discoveries of the observatory, the famous graduate astronomical department of the University of California. People who learned their astronomy twenty years ago, or five years ago will have to change many of their ideas of the universe in the light of newly-achieved knowledge as to how the heavenly bodies are born and live and die. Nowhere in the world is so much being done to alter and expand man's knowledge of the stellar universe as on Mount Hamilton, under the direction of Dr. W. W. Campbell, the famous director of the observatory. When Dr. Campbell first came to the Lick Observatory, comparatively few double stars were known. He turned the great 36-inch telescope, then the largest in the world, upon the problem, and in the years since then the Lick Hamilton, the university has an outpost of the Lick Observatory in South America. This is the D. O. Mills observatory, supported by the generosity of Odgen Mills. It is on the summit of Cerro San Cristobal, 900 feet above the city of Santiago, Chile. Its 37-inch reflecting telescope and spectrographs are devoted primarily to studies of the motions of the fainter stars, to aid in understanding the motion of the solar system and the structure of the stellar universe. The Lick Observatory has a most favorable situation. Its altitude is 4,209 feet. Over 6,000 people see the great telescope every year, nine-tenths of them making by automobile the journey from San Jose over 29 miles of beautiful mountain roads. Visitors are welcome daily, until sundown, and every Saturday evening people who arrive before 9 o'clock are permitted to look through the huge Lick telescope and thus to see some of the brilliant marvels of the heavens, such as the Great Nebula in Orion, or gorgeous Jupiter and its moons, or the brilliant star-cluster in Hercules, where five thousand visible stars are shining in one two-millionth of the area of the sky, and each of these suns probably as far from each of its nearest fellows as we are from the nearest fixed star—and that is so far that it takes light four years to cross the gulf—four years, with the star-beam traveling 186,000 miles every second. NATIONAL ORANGE SHOW All Citrus Districts of State Will Be Represented in San Bernardino Practically every citrus fruit growing district in the State will participate in the third National Orange show to be held in San Bernardino, February 17 to 22. Reservations for space have been received from the Sacramento valley which is just now making long strides toward becoming an extensive orange growing section from several All Citrus Districts of State Will Be Represented in San Bernardino Practically every citrus fruit growing district in the State will participate in the third National Orange show to be held in San Bernardino, February 17 to 22. Reservations for space have been received from the Sacramento valley which is just now making long strides toward becoming an extensive orange growing section, from several counties in the San Joaquin valley where the citrus industry is long since past the experimental stage. In addition, practically all sections of Southern California will be represented, San Diego, Santa Barbara, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties having taken large blocks of space. The number of exhibitors will be 50 per cent greater than at any previous show, and the exhibit space available, almost double that of last year, will be none too large. Each of the many communities will build a display characteristic of the district represented. A thousand and one contrivances and designs will be worked out with the golden fruit. In addition a great bank of fruit will border the entire interior of the great tent, giving the feature designs a setting in a frame of gold. The whole is illumined with thousands upon thousands of vari-colored electric lights, while red, green and gold worked out in the decorations will blend into a fairyland that cannot be produced by a display of any other kind of fruit. STATE EMPLOYMENT OFFICES Los Angeles to Get One of Eight Provided For A bill providing for the establishment of State employment offices in eight cities was introduced in the legislature on Saturday by Assemblyman H. W. Brown of San Mateo county. The offices are to be under the direction of the Commissioner of the State Bureau of Labor Statistics. First-class offices are to be maintained in San Francisco and in Los Angeles and offices of the second class at Oakland, Sacramento, Fresno, Stockton, San Diego and Bakersfield. The managers of the office are to keep in touch with employees and to acquaint laborers with conditions regarding sanitation, hours and wages, and as to strikes or labor disputes. A maximum fee of 25 cents is to be charged. An appropriation of $100,000.00 is achieved knowledge as to how the heavenly bodies are born and live and die. Nowhere in the world is so much being done to alter and expand man's knowledge of the stellar universe as on Mount Hamilton, under the direction of Dr. W. W. Campbell, the famous director of the observatory. When Dr. Campbell first came to the Lick Observatory, comparatively few double stars were known. He turned the great 36-inch telescope, then the largest in the world, upon the problem, and in the years since then the Lick Observatory has discovered over 4,000 double stars. By the eye at the telescope it was proved that one out of 18 stars, on the average is double. But next this observatory proved that vast numbers of stars which even to the most powerful telescope look like one are really double, or even triple or quadruple. Work with the spectroscope showed that at least one star in every four is double. The first magnitude star Capella, for instance, consists of two stars nearly equal in brightness, which revolve around their common center of mass every 104 days. Only some 15,000 nebulae have been observed as yet, but astronomers have proved that several hundred thousand nebulae visible to the telescope or the camera exist in the sky, waiting to be discovered whenever opportunity can be found to undertake the work. Most nebulae have a spiral form. This discovery was wholly unexpected. It proves their rotation. Three extra moons have been found for Jupiter, the planet's sixth, seventh and eighth satellites having been discovered in 1892, 1904, and 1905. Some 30 comets have been discovered. It has been shown that the principal "new stars," which now and then blaze up in the heavens, only to fade dim afterward, have been converted into nebulae, and that the nebular stage passes later, in the course of many years, to the ordinary stellar condition. Total eclipses of the sun have been observed by expeditions sent to many parts of the world—to French Guiana, for instance, to Northern California, to Chile, India, Georgia, Sumatra, Spain and Egypt, and to the South Pacific. The Hearst expedition to Chile in 1893 and the Crocker expedition to India in 1898 recorded for the first time the wonderful structure of the inner solar corona, and the numerous expeditions sent out by the generosity of Regent William H. Crocker have established that the light of the inner coronal structure is largely inherent, whereas the light of the outer parts of the coronal is largely reflected sunlight. for instance, to Northern California, to Chile, India, Georgia, Sumatra, Spain and Egypt, and to the South Pacific.

Crocker have established that the light of the inner coronal structure is largely inherent, whereas the light of the outer parts of the coronal is largely reflected sunlight. One of the greatest contributions to cosmology is Directors Campbell's proof by spectrographic observations, that stars in the earlier stages of their existence are traveling slowly through space, and that their speeds increase as they grow older. This hastening of pace as cuns increase in age had not been suspected, and is highly important in interpretations of the life of the universe. Among the problems which astronomers keep always before them, in their task of pushing forward the frontiers of human knowledge, are these: What is the form and what are the dimensions of the space occupied by our stellar system? How are the individual members of the system distributed throughout that space? What are the relations of the stars, planets, moons, nebulae, comets, and meteors to each other, both as classes and as individuals? In accordance with what laws have these bodies been evolved from materials in earlier stages of existence? What has been the history of the celestial bodies? What are their present physical conditions? What has the future in store for them? Besides the great station on Mount Bureau of Labor Statistics. First-class offices are to be maintained in San Francisco and in Los Angeles and offices of the second class at Oakland, Sacramento, Fresno, Stockton, San Diego and Bakersfield. The managers of the office are to keep in touch with employees and to acquaint laborers with conditions regarding sanitation, hours and wages, and as to strikes or labor disputes. A maximum fee of 25 cents is to be charged. An appropriation of $100,000.00 is asked. At least one employee in every office must be a woman, and separate women's departments are to be maintained. MRS. GOODMAN GETS $300 Judge West on Friday morning made an order modifying the family allowance made to Mrs. Therese Goodman, widow of the late Joseph Goodman of Fullerton, pending the settlement of the estate. The widow had previously been allowed $500 per month, but objection was made by Solomon Goodman of New York, representing the other heirs. By stipulation the previous order was set aside, and after hearing the arguments Judge West entered an order allowing the widow $300 per month. Isidore Dockweiler, representing Mrs. Goodman, asked 30 days to file a bill of exceptions. The estate is valued at over a quarter of a million dollars. GOVERNMENT SEED Congressman Smith has forwarded from Washington a sackfull of vegetable seed, which will be distributed to farmers and others desiring to make use of them. TO TEST TITLES TO OIL LANDS IN CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT WILL SEEK TO RECOVER VALUABLE PROPERTY FROM RAILROADS THOUSANDS OF ACRES VALUED AT $5,000 PER ACRE TO REVERT TO PEOPLE A suit which will test the title of hundreds of thousands of acres of oil lands in the West, with values running into the millions, will be filed at Los Angeles by the Federal Government with a few days. Assistant Attorney-General Knabel instructed United States Attorney McCormick at Los Angeles recently to begin proceedings against all the claimants to 160 acres of oil lands in Southern California, said to be worth $5,000 an acre. Other suits will follow, all of them testing the legality of the extensive oil land withdrawal made by President Tait September 27, 1909. When questions were raised as to the President's power to make the withdrawal, Congress gave him specific authority by the act of June 25, 1910. Between the first and second withdrawals, however, many claims were filed on the lands under the mineral laws. The Government holds that the first withdrawal, as well as the second, was legal and that the title to these valuable tracts is lodged with the United States. Not only will the Government ask the court to declare valid its title to the land, but will also seek recoveries for all the oil which is said to have been withdrawn, the exact quantity of DISSEENTS FROM GRAND JURY'S SUGGESTIONS COUNTY CENTRAL COMMITTEE FAVORS ECONOMICAL PLANS AT THE COURT HOUSE FEW DEPUTIES FAVORED AND SALARIES TO BE CUT TO LOWEST FIGURE The Progressive Republican County Central Committee met at Santa Ana on Saturday afternoon to consider phases of the grand jury report, particularly that part which had to do with the appointment of additional deputies in some of the offices at the court house and raising the salaries of some of those already on the payroll. Chairman Jackson read the call, in which was included a statement that the situation developed by the cold snap of a few days ago was grave, and that therefore the recommendations of the grand jury to increase the operating expenses of the county was worthy of the serious consideration of the committee. Roll call preceded the announcement of the purpose of the meeting, and committeemen from twenty-three of the fifty-nine precincts responded to their names. Communication from Senator Anderson and Assemblyman Weisel, asking suggestions or recommendations of the committee on the grand jury report, were read. Weisel asked particularly that expression be made on the question as to Japanese legislation. H. H. Hale of Placentia was unable to be present, but wrote the chairman in the county in which they are collected; that age exemption of poll tax be reduced from 60 to 55 years. The committee was in session during the greater part of the afternoon and dissented with recommendations of the grand jury in many particulars. No additional deputies were approved except in the case of the assessor, who was allowed two deputies. No recommendation was made for the new superior judge. Three candidates are understood to be after the nomination. They are Attorneys Thomas, Davis and Finley of Santa Ana. The recommendations of the committee will be forwarded Senator Anderson and Assemblyman Weisel at Sacramento, and will form the basis of bills to be introduced into the legislature affecting officials in this county. GETS CHANGE OF VENUE Brea Restaurant Man Avers Cannot Get Square Deal at Santa Ana O. M. Cowden, charged with keeping a place which was used as a gambling house at Brea, was on Friday granted a change of venue from the township court of Santa Ana to the township court of Orange, and his case will be tried before Justice of the Peace James Fullerton. Attorney H. C. Head, for the defense, moved to dismiss the case, but the motion was denied, and then filed a demurrer, in which the same grounds were raised as in the motion to dismiss. These were that the law had not been followed by the prosecution in the case, as the law requires that the defendant shall be taken to the nearest township court. The demurrer was overruled and then Attorney Head filed an affidavit asking for a change of venue on the ground that his client could not get a fair trial at Santa Ana. The attorneys failed to agree on the place for the trial, but Justice Cox solved the problem by naming Orange. The Government, it was learned, will contest all claims to the land or oils which may be advanced by these corporations and individuals.

Monnette, R. P. Davis and Julius Freid, all citizens of California. The Interior Department has refused to grant patents on any of the lands. There are said to be many conflicting claims among the persons who base their contentions upon placer mining locations. An agreement, the terms of which are said to be secret, is declared to have been entered into in May, 1911, purporting to settle the conflicting claims by which the Maricopa Northern Oil Company, National Pacific Oil Company,Midway Northern Oil Company and Consolidated Midway Oil Company were given full possession of the whole tract, a quarter section of land in Kern county, California, with rights to develop the land and extract the oil. These companies are said now to be in possession of the land. committeeemen from twenty-three of the fifty-nine precincts responded to their names. Communication from Senator Anderson and Assemblyman Weisel, asking suggestions or recommendations of the committee on the grand jury report, were read. Weisel asked particularly that expression be made on the question as to Japanese legislation. H. H. Hale of Placentia was unable to be present, but wrote the chairman that he believed the recommendations of the grand jury should not be endorsed. E. E. Keech, by letter, voiced his opinion on subjects suggested by the call, but counseled further investigation. Chairman Jackman asked for expressions from gentlemen present who were not members of the committee, but none responded to the invitation. Copies of the annual report of County Auditor Lester were passed around so that the expenditures of the county could be ascertained by any one interested. P. L. Tople moved that the different recommendations made by the grand jury be taken up and discussed one at a time. An amendment was offered by Dr. Ball that suggestions made at a meeting of the executive committee at a meeting a week ago, be read, and the amendment and original motion were adopted. The recommendations of the grand jury were read by Secretary Thomas. The first recommendation of the grand jury read was that giving the assessor additional deputies, as was also an outline of the recommendations made at the executive committee meeting, which approved the appointment of two additional deputy assessors at $520 per annum, favored the appointment of another judge at a salary of $4,000 per year, a bailiff at $1,000 per year; payment of county recorder a flat salary of $2,000 per year and two assistants at $75 per month, fees collected to be turned into the county; that the office of tax collector be abolished and that the duties of the office be imposed on the county treasurer, who shall receive $2,000 per year and be allowed one deputy at $900, another at $675, and assistants at a cost of $1,100 per year, and that the treasurer be placed under bonds of $250,000; favored Torren land law; increase in tax of corporations to meet state expenses; that all poll and inheritance taxes be turned into the school funds were raised as in the motion to dismiss. These were that the law had not been followed by the prosecution in the case, as the law requires that the defendant shall be taken to the nearest township court. The demurrer was overruled and then Attorney Head filed an affidavit asking for a change of venue on the ground that his client could not get a fair trial at Santa Ana. The attorneys failed to agree on the place for the trial, but Justice Cox solved the problem by naming Orange. DATE GROWING INDUSTRY A date-growing industry worth $60,000,000 a year will be established in southwestern United States as the result of experimental work by the agricultural department, according to statements to the house committee at Washington on Saturday on expenditures in the agricultural department by Dr. B. T. Galloway, chief of the bureau of plant industry. Dr. Galloway said he believed dates, figs, olives and like products would become valuable additions to the crop output of the United States. "I always like to have him come to the house." "That so? Why?" "Sometimes he talks for a whole evening without once mentioning the political situation."
