CLASSIFICATION OF LANDS IN THE WEST NATIONAL GOVERNMENT HAS UNDERTAKEN WORK OF BENEFIT TO ALL CLASSES INSURES APPROPRIATE DISPOSITION AND SECURES HIGHEST USE OF NATION'S LANDS In the latter half of the nineteenth century the spirit of the public-land laws in the United States was settlement and development. With a public domain of one and a third billion acres, acquired in the preceding half century—1803-1853—by purchase, discovery, exploration, and cession, and with another third of a billion acres in Alaska, constituting a later purchase, the Nation felt that it could be lavish with its lands. The wilderness called for pioneers of every type, and large premiums were held out to capital enterprise and individual initiative. Development was desired whatever the cost in lands that were intrinsically of little value without settlement. But with the most and the best of the Nation's land already alienated, the national duty is now to put to its best use what remains. Utilization of lands for their greatest value necessitates the determination of that value, which is, briefly, land classification; and to be adequate, land classification must be based upon first-hand acquaintance with the particular land under consideration. With a national estate including country ranging from salt-incrusted deserts to valleys knee-deep with nutritious grasses or giant forests almost impenetrable because of luxuriant undergrowth, no general statutes that may be enacted can be made so definite as not to require the exercise of well-informed judgment in their execution. To this end examination and classification of the public lands constitute an initial step in their disposition for development and settlement. To insure appropriate disposition and to secure highest use of the na-scribing the procedure employed in the work, are written by members of the Survey who have originated for the most part the methods that are so essential to successful and authoritative classification. The development of the Survey's organization for land classification is described by W. C. Mendenhall, who as chief of the land-classification board has been directly responsible for the preparation of the bulletin. The history and legal basis of classification are discussed by M. W. Ball; the classification and valuation of coal lands by G. H. Ashley and C. E. Lesher; Mr. Lesher also contributes a short section on the preparation of data for classification. Field methods in coal, oil, phosphate, and potash classification are discussed by E. G. Woodruff, C. H. Wegemann, R. W. Richards, F. R. Clark, and H. S. Gale, all of whom are geologists of wide experience in field work leading up to land classification. J. D. Northrop has contributed the section on classification of oil and gas lands, and A. R. Schultz the section on classification of phosphate lands. Potash-bearing lands and their classification are treated by Messrs. Schultz and Gale. E. H. Finch has contributed the section on miscellaneous non-metalliferous lands, F. C. Calkins the discussion of metalliferous minerals, and G. S. Rogers a section on "By-products of mineral land classification." The discussion of classification in relation to water resources has been prepared under the direction of N. C. Grover, chief engineer of the land-classification board, M. O. Leighton, Herman Stabler, E. C. La Rue, and W. B. Heroy collaborating. A full statement of the policy of land classification and a detailed description of the procedure and methods so far found necessary to carry out that policy, in the stage of development already reached, are presented in this report, which covers nearly 200 pages. This information is believed to be of value both to students of government and to geologists and engineers interested in the application of scientific investigation to practical business. The historical and legal phases of the discussion may be of greatest interest to the citizen concerned in his country's highest development, and the description of field methods should be of immediate value in indicating new requirements imposed upon scientific education, for details of this business policy of the Government are already being adopted in private and corporate land examinations.

The purpose of land classification is highest utilization, and to attain this end it has been necessary to co-ordinate the work of scientific investigation with the administrative functions of the Department of the Interior. The large participation of the Geological Survey in the public-land administration has naturally presented problems involving changes both in office and field organization and in executive and scientific methods. For these changes there has been little or no precedent. Scientists and public men of older countries have been outspoken in their interest in this new application of science to governmental administration, and requests have been made for more detailed information on the subject than is available in the references appearing in administrative reports of the Secretary of the Interior and his subordinates. To meet this demand the Survey has just published a bulletin covering the subject—No. 537. The introduction, on the purpose of land classification, is contributed by the Director of the Survey, and the other sections of this publication, describe how Did the Bird Know that”— Your money back on demand—if you are not satisfied.

A list of 1,922 corporations failing to pay their taxes was reported to the Secretary of State by Controller Nye on Tuesday. The companies thereby forfeit their charters and right to do business. Last year the list included 2,300. The Anaheim Union Water Company and E. F. Benjamin have instituted proceedings against Matt Pittman and his wife, the Dorsby Oil Company et al., to quiet title to a tract of land in the Rancho San Juan Cajon de Santa Ana. Chas. Allgeyer has completed a fine new 14-inch well on his 20-acre ranch near Brookshurst, going to a depth of 382 feet. The pump was put in operation last week, and is throwing 85 inches of water. Mr. Allgeyer thinks he has one of the best wells in the county and is now assured of a plentiful supply of water. George I. Lufkin, selling agent for the Hamilton Brown Shoe Company, was in town last week selling a large consignment of his goods to the S. Q. R. store, exclusive selling agents for this city. Mr. Lufkin has been “making” Anaheim for a good many years, and considers it one of the garden spots of the state. The office of the Orange County Farmers' Fire Insurance Company is now located at 307 North Main street, Santa Ana, Cal. The company was incorporated June 30, 1898, and the average cost has been less than 14 cents per $100 per year. It has now $4,250,000 of insurance in force. It is a home company, and every person is a member and has a voice in its management. We will be pleased to have any one wishing insurance, or desiring information along these lines to call.

Tipton, as administrator of the estate of the late Mrs. Minnie Bentz, who was fatally burned in a gasoline explosion at her home on East Center street in August last. Judge West granted Mr. Helmsen’s petition for sale of the property which consists of two houses and lots in this city of a value of $10,000. The estate, after settlement of claims against it, goes to Lane Bentz, son of deceased.

BIRTH RATE OF FRANCE The birth rate of France was lower by more than 100,000 in 1911 than in 1901. Louis Klotz, minister of finance, announcing this fact to the commission on depopulation at its first session today, said: "Military inferiority, economic inferiority and the diminution of the power of France in the wold will sooner or later be the inevitable consequence of the sterility of our nation." The lower birth rate while a perplexing phenomenon among all civilized peoples, was, the minister said, a greater problem in France than elsewhere. The births exceeded the deaths in 1910 in Germany by 879,112; in Austria Hungary by 573,720; in Great Britain by 413,779, and in Italy by 461,771, but in France by only 71,418. While K. Shinto, a Japanese, was absent from his home at Santa Ana, Monday night, his place was visited by a burglar who ransacked all the rooms and departed with the following articleless: A Waltham watch, a pair of blue trousers, three suits of clothes, one suitcase, three silk handkerchiefs, two neckties and Mr. Shinto's passport to Japan. IN AND ABOUT COUNTY Marriage License Refused Acting on the advice of District Attorney L. A. West, County Clerk W. B. Williams refused to issue a marriage license to Sakitaro Ishida, aged 31, a Japanese, and Miss Ada Morril, aged 39, a native of England. Ishida is proprietor of a restaurant at Santa Ana, and the lady is a hotel waitress at Azusa. The district attorney ruled that a Japanese is a Mongolian, and that under the California law a white person cannot marry a Mongolian. After asking the clerk if he knew in what state they could be married and receiving a negative reply, the couple departed. Women's Clubs Protest That the club women and teachers of Southern California regard Senate Bill No. 828, introduced by Senator J. N. Anderson as adverse to the interests of women teachers, has been shown by the action of many clubs and women's associations in asking him to withdraw the bill. Senate Bill 828 asks for the repeal of the existing California law requiring equal pay for men and women teachers of the state for like service. A number of women's clubs, whose aggregate membership is considerably over 5,000, have passed resolutions asking him to withdraw Senate Bill 282. Attend Service by Telephones So that invalids and aged persons who cannot leave their homes to attend divine services may have the pleasure and benefit of enjoying the same, Rev. E. J. Inwood, pastor of the First Methodist church at Santa Ana, has completed the installation of a telephone system at the church for their convenience. By this novel arrangement, the "shut ins," as the old folks and unfortunates are referred to, can have the telephones in their homes and rooms attached to the phone system in the church, and hear the full service, and the minister's sermon. This arrangement was in working order for the first time Sunday morning. W. C. T. U.

The favorites commenced to go wrong in the very first race, the hundred yard dash, and they kept it up to the end when U. S. C. won the replay and the meet after their staunchest admirers had given up all hope of a victory. The most brilliant performance of the day was that of Fred Kelly, when he won the high hurdles and was credited with equalling the world's record of 15 seconds flat. He ran a beautiful race, his form being perfect, but due to the fact that he knocked down two of the barriers, he cannot claim a hold on the record. In addition to this, he won both the low hurdles and the shot-put, totalling 15 points, and then ran a bang-up first lap in the relay, helping to make five more points there. CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR CONVENTION DATE SET County Union to Meet in Anaheim Early in October The next county Christian Endeavor convention will be held in Anaheim Presbyterian church, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, October 3, 4 and 5. The date was officially set at a meeting of the executive committee of the county union held in this city Sunday. The Anaheim Presbyterian society at the last convention held in Santa Ana in October extended an invitation to the union to meet in this city for the next convention and the invitation was accepted. Various reports of county officers were read and showed the county union to be engaged in active work, and efficiency increasing. The committee on banners appointed at the last executive committee meeting submitted a report, and the banner suggested, both for county conventions to be awarded societies, and for the large banner, 6x8 feet, for use at conventions for display purposes and which is to be first used at the international convention in Los Angeles, July 9-14, this year, was of a large orange with green leaves as the central figure and with a background of dark blue, the orange and leaves to be in natural colors and the words "Orange County C. E., California," to be on the orange in green. This de- PRESBYTERIAN NOTES Sunday is Easter. This will be a great day at the Presbyterian church. In honor f the risen Lord a large number will unite with the church. The music and decorations will be appropriate to the occasion. The pastor will not speak on the usual topic of Christ's resurrection. There will be no general resurrection. All men will not be raised from the dead. Thus saith the Word of God. The evening service will be given up largely to the singing of Easter songs. From this Easter occasion some practical lesson will be drawn. This day means much to the believer. It ought to mean more to the unbeliever. Everybody welcome to share with us the joy and gladness of this day. Bible school at 9:45; Christian Endeavor at 6:30. These were never better attended.

BREAKING IT GENTLY Two very great friends—a Scotchman and an Englishman—met in the smoking room of a hotel and the Englishman at once proceeded to monopolize the conversation, as he usually did. The Scotchman bore it for a long time then he broke in quietly: "I say, old chap, I'll back you and me to tell more and bigger lies in half an hour than any other six men I know." He paused, and then went on gently: "And I wouldn't speak a single word the whole time." can have the telephones in their homes and rooms attached to the phone system in the church, and hear the full service, and the minister's sermon. This arrangement was in working order for the first time Sunday morning. W. C. T. U. Approves Ordinance Resolutions of approval of the action of the Orange city trustees in recently passing an alcohol ordinance have been passed by the Orange W. C. T. U. The ordinance which prohibits the sale of alcohol only on prescription for medical uses is endorsed by the White Ribboners, who commend the trustees for their efforts in preserving the moral atmosphere of the city. The resolution reads as follows: Resolved, That the Woman's Christian Temperance Union of Orange approves of the alcohol ordinance recently passed by the trustees of Orange and heartily appreciate and commend the efforts of these gentlemen to promote the moral, no less than the material welfare of the community. Isn't it True Did you ever think of it? Suppose every business man in the city took as much interest in the upbuilding of a city as the newspaper man. He works for railroads, manufactories, better roads, churches, good streets and a hundred and one other things for the general good; he urges, pleads, scolds, badgers and cavorts around generally until he gets what he sets out for. Imagine his feelings then, when some lame, string-halted kind of a fellow reproaches him because he don't boom things enough, and nine times out of ten that same fellow has never paid one cent toward supporting the paper, and the paper he reads with marked regularity is either borrowed from his neighbor or picked up from the counter in the store at which he trades. Fullerton Making Improvements The Fullerton city trustees have sold sewer bonds to the amount of $26,400 to the Farmers & Merchants National bank of Fullerton at par. The bonds bear interest at the rate of 7 per cent. A contract has been signed with Mr. Osborn of Fresno for grading nine miles of highway. The city committee which had been appointed to appraise the plant of the Fullerton Domestic Water Company, made its report, placing a valuation of $11,000 on the property. The company has offered to sell the plant to the city for $15,000, but at a mass meeting held in Bank hall last week a motion was made and carried that the city pay no more than $7,500 for the plant. It is reported that a petition may be circulated asking the city to take the plant over at $11,000. Work has been started on the construction of a garage building on South Spadra street to be occupied by Albert Sitton. The building will be 50x130 feet. George B. Key is the owner of the property and has arranged with the Sitton garage for a long lease of the building. $46,280 Comes For County Schools The sum of $46,280.22 was paid into the Orange county treasury on Monday by the State of California, as this county's share of the money raised by the commonwealth for the maintenance.

This is the second semi-annual apportionment of school funds, the total amount being divided by the state aggregating $1,974,614.40. This total is for the elementary schools, the high schools of the state having $288,173.18 for division. The apportionment among the Orange county high schools has been made as follows: Santa Ana, $2,798.94; Orange, $1,330.18; Anaheim, $1,184.31; Fullerton, $1,028.38; Huntington Beach, $852.33. Riverside will receive for its elementary schools $31,975, and for its high schools, nine in number, $7,937. San Diego will receive $58,115 for the lower grade schools, and $9,791 for its high schools. Los Angeles receives $429,628 for its elementary schools and $71,118 for its high school counties. San Francisco will receive $252,651 for elementary schools, and only $14,351 for high schools.
