A RECORD WHEAT CROP A bumper wheat crop, sufficient to mill more than 160,500,000 barrels of flour, and which may reach the proportions of the record wheat harvest of 1901, if conditions from now on are exceptionally favorable, was forecast this week by the Department of Agriculture in its June crop report. Government experts estimated this year's harvest would be 744,000,000 bushels, of which 492,000,000 bushels will be winter wheat—a record for this crop—and 252,000,000 bushels will be spring wheat. The third largest acreage ever sown and favorable growing conditions account for the prospect for an abundant yield. An increase of more than 1 per cent over last year's acreage was planted to oats this year, but the condition of this crop June 1 was below the 10-year average and officials estimate the production will be 1,104,000,000 bushels, or more than 300,000,000 bushels below last year's harvest. The acreage planted to barley was less than that of last year and the production is estimated at 177,000,000 bushels. SENIOR PLAY A SUCCESS Large Crowd Gathers to Witness Annual Production by High School Students A large crowd gathered at the high school Friday night to witness the senior class play, "Number Seven," produced by members of the class of 1913. FOURTH OF JULY AUTO ROAD RACE MANY CARS ENTERED IN LOS ANGELES TO SAN FRANCISCO SPEED EVENT DAY OF EXCITEMENT FOR MANY CITIES THROUGHOUT THE STATE It has been definitely decided that the Panama-Pacific road race will start from Los Angeles at one minute past midnight, July 4th, and finish in San Francisco on the afternoon of the 4th. If the cars make the run in 13 hours as is expected the winner will roll into the Fair City about 1:30 in the afternoon. Others will follow at short intervals throughout the afternoon and as an immense score board will be erected at the finish with news of the progress of the race through the different towns it will be a day of road race excitement not only in San Francisco but throughout the entire state. Entries closed June 10 and cars entering after that time are forced to pay a larger entry fee. Most of the entries were in by midnight of the 10th. There are now 25 sure starters with prospects of at least 10 more. The intervals between the cars at the start will be decided by the referee. This will not be more than three minutes as that would mean over an hour and a half for the start. The first hundred miles will be night driving of the most dangerous characters. It will take the cars through the San Francisquite canyon and the drivers have been spending much of their time learning this section of the road. Walter Hempel is in San Francisco Large Crowd Gathers to Witness Annual Production by High School Students A large crowd gathered at the high school Friday night to witness the senior class play, "Number Seven," produced by members of the class of 1913 of the high school. A number of star players were brought out by the production. Walter Spaeth as the hero, "Number Seven," made a hit and played his part with credit. Miss Cecil Trindle as the leading lady, did exceedingly well and won for herself much applause. Miss Kathryn Hand played her part of the "College Widow" in a matchless manner, and won the hearts of all her suitors, only to turn them down when they proposed to her. Miss Evelyn Finney bore her part as Spaeth's mother with extraordinary ability, acting the character with credited. Miss Emily Spaeth was a universal favorite as Bab, an orphan. Miss Helena Goodale proved a beautiful and graceful sister to the hero, Ralph Maas and Howard Krause worked together admirably as the villains, finally ending up in the city jail. Laurence Waller was the sensation of the play as the English lord, spreading himself lavishly in his lovemaking, and Raymond Elliott as the coach, played his part with credit. Ashleigh Chamberlain and Hans Storm, freshmen, had some valuable practice in making love to Bab, but Clarence Chamberlain as Pete, the Irishman, finally won her heart and promised to take her back to England with him. Floyd Fergus made a very effective Prof. Dixon, carrying his part with excellent ability. The entire affair was carried out splendidly and the members of the cast were recipients of congratulations on the part of members of the audience. Miss Veda Walker, who staged the play so successfully, has a large experience in this line of work, and demonstrated her ability in excellent manner in the production of this affair. She is to be congratulated upon the success of this play, and her friends will await next year's production under her charge. SLAUGHTER WILD HORSES Resident of Nevada Says They Are Being Killed For Their Hides Despite Law Elko, Nev., June 10.—That wild horses are being killed in large numbess between the cars at the start will be decided by the referee. This will not be more than three minutes as that would mean over an hour and a half for the start. The first hundred miles will be night driving of the most dangerous characters. It will take the cars through the San Francisco canyon and the drivers have been spending much of their time learning this section of the road. Walter Hempel is in San Francisco and expects to make the final arrangements for the finishing within a short time. A decision on this point is expected daily. The rules of the race have been issued. One rule states that a car must be started on its own power not only at the first start but after all other stops. Every car in the contest must cover the course on its own fuel, tires and supplies. The entrants will begin putting the finishing touches on their cars this week and many will go over the course in the machines which they will drive in the race. Practically every car has been over the course a couple of times. There have been numerous estimates as to the time that will be made. Barney Oldfield says 14 hours. T. J. Beaudet says if the cars do not go by way of Stockton the time will be under 13 hours. The members of the committee will begin making their final trips over the course this week for the purpose of making the final arrangements for the race. The cities along the route have agreed to police and guard the road and the merchants in the valley are making preparations to take care of an enormous crowd. While the starting point has not yet been chosen, L. T. Shettler, manager of the road race, has decided that the cars shall be sent away from some given point as near the center of the city as possible. The valley route will be followed. At a meeting of the road race committee held recently it was decided that drivers who desire to use the Bouquet canyon shall be allowed to choose the longer route to Bakersfield, or to Elizabeth lake, as it will be a harder fight by taking this course. They must check in at Elizabeth lake, however, and take the Tejon Pass. The racers will go north from Bakersfield by way of Ducor and Terra Bella to Porterville. This is to be a checking point and the cars will go from Porterville straight west to Lindsey and thence to Tulare. Here some of the fastest going of the entire race SLAUGHTER WILD HORSES Resident of Nevada Says They Are Being Killed For Their Hides Despite Law Elko, Nev., June 10.—That wild horses are being killed in large numbers in Elko county is the statement made by George Russell, Jr., manager of the Russell Land & Stöck Company, to the board of county commissioners. He states that the horses are being slaughtered for their hides, which are being shipped out of the county. He states that 700 hides were shipped from Battle Mountain last year. The last Legislature passed a law prohibiting the killing of wild horses without a permit issued by the board of county commissioners. The brick building to be used as a motorcycle shop by M. G. Anlauf on North Los Angeles street this week assumed the proportions of a business block, the brick work in the front being completed, and the cement floor having been laid. The building will be completed in a few weeks and will be immediately occupied by the Anlauf motorcycle shop as one of the most commodious establishments of its kind in the county. Notice to the ladies. Get your suits made by Fogel, the ladies' tailor, upstairs over Mullinix, Bouquet canyon shall be allowed to choose the longer route to Bakersfield, or to Elizabeth lake, as it will be a harder fight by taking this course. They must check in at Elizabeth lake, however, and take the Tejon Pass. The racers will go north from Bakersfield by way of Ducor and Terra Bella to Porterville. This is to be a checking point and the cars will go from Porterville straight west to Lindsay and thence to Tulare. Here some of the fastest going of the entire race will be witnessed. The cars must all check at Tulare where the sentiment is strongly in favor of the big intercity road battle. After leaving Tulare the next checking point will be Fresno where a crowd of enthusiasts have pledged themselves to make this race the greatest ever held. "Der Grobe Wirt" is the next play to be given by the dramatic section of the Anaheim Concordia Society at Kroeger's hall. The play will be given Thursday evening, June 19. Vocal duets and solos are also on the program and an entertainment of merit is looked forward to. A dance will be enjoyed following the play, good music being furnished. Concordia's doings are always popular and it is expected a good crowd will be present at this occasion. Manager H. B. Smith, of the Independent Fruit Company, who recently replaced H. F. Parrent as local manager here, will start Valencia packing today in the company's packing house on the Southern Pacific tracks.

BIRCHFIELD OF SANTA FE Booms the Great Races to Be Held in Corona on Admission Day, Sept. 9, 1913 Wednesday, May 29th, was a day of big things for the Corona Circular Speed Promoters. On that day C. J. Birchfield, advertising manager for the Santa Fe lines, accompanied by his official picture man, visited Corona, and on their arrival were met at the station by two machine loads of Corona business men. These men together took in the circular road, inspected the portions of the road that are ready for the top coating of oil and viewed with interest the remaining quarter of the circle, being prepared for the base rock and top surface. Mr. Birchfield was greatly pleased and surprised at the fine road bed, and the expense taken to construct the road, and the possibilities of the Circle for the Greatest Speed Event in the history of motor car racing. The fact that the circle is absolutely a perfect circle, the road of such fine material, makes the big event for Admission Day, September 9th, destined to be the one big attraction for this year. The purpose of the visit of the advertising manager of the Santa Fe was to secure material and make definite plans for giving the new boulevard speed event such additional publicity as only a great railroad system can do, and so while Mr. Birchfield was in Corona, he had taken a large number of fine pictures of the newly completed road together with a good collection of other fine views in and about Corona. These pictures are to be used extensively to spread the news of the big race abroad over the East and West, and it is certain that every man and boy will know what is going to happen September 9th in the city of Corona. Clarence Trindle, the young man who was burned so badly by gasoline in a garage here last July, and who has until recently been compelled to remain in bed until his burns, some of UNDERGROUND WATER LOGATED IN TEXAS Report by United States Geological Survey on the Wichita Region The United States Geological Survey has just announced the publication of a report on the underground waters of the Wichita region of north-central Texas, by C. H. Gordon. The region covere by the report includes about 11,000 square miles. Its population practically doubled in the decade between 1900 and 1910. The settlers have experienced great difficulty in obtaining satisfactory water for domestic use, and the region now depends for its water supply almost wholly on the surface waters, which are insufficient, so that the problem of finding underground sources of portable water in sufficient quantities is of great local importance. The field investigations of the Geological Survey were directed to the determination of the geologic conditions which would lead to the location of the water-bearing formations that might be available sources of water. This has been accomplished. The report, which comprises 86 pages and includes a geologic map, describes the geologic formations underlying the region, their water-bearing capacity, and the underground water prospects. Abundant supplies of underground water have been determined, but the water from most of the formations is stated to be heavily charged with mineral matter. From certain of the formations, however, the water is of good quality, and the area over which these formations extend is outlined in the report. Advice is also given in regard to the protection of shallow wells from the germs of typhoid fever and the purification of surface waters in the localities where no satisfactory underground water exists. This report, which is published as Water-Supply Paper 317, can be obtained free of charge on application to the Director, United States Geological Survey, Washington, D. C. Contractors Grouard and Young of Santa Ana, on Tuesday were awarded road together with a good collection of other fine views in and about Corona. These pictures are to be used extensively to spread the news of the big race abroad over the East and West, and it is certain that every man and boy will know what is going to happen September 9th in the city of Corona. Clarence Trindle, the young man who was burned so badly by gasoline in a garage here last July, and who has until recently been compelled to remain in bed until his burns, some of which were very deep, should heal, was in town yesterday afternoon from his home in Santa Ana, riding over on his bicycle. He has remarkably recovered from his burns, which it was thought would prove fatal, and found several days ago that he was able to ride a bicycle. After several short rides near his home, he attempted the ride to this city, and got here in fine shape. He has grown 5 inches since being burned 11 months ago and while lying in bed all of that time. He was hailed by his many friends here who were glad to see him about again so well. He said he was glad to get out, and more than glad to get back to Anaheim, if only for such a short time and meet his friends here. He returned home on the train last night. Notice to the ladies. Have you seen the beautiful ladies' suits at Fogel's? If not, have one made. They certainly fit. Upstairs over Mullinix' drug store. V. U. Simpson and J. B. Rea motored to Long Beach the latter part of the week and were guests of friends. Misses Alma and Lizzie Yoern entertained members of the local Old Maid Club Tuesday evening, the first part of the program taking the form of a lion party at the theater, ends being reserved for the party at Fairlawn. Following this a five-course luncheon was enjoyed at the Cherry Blossom. Decorations were in red and white and were carried out with carvings, the room being very beautifully decorated. The entire evening was delightfully spent by all. Those present were Misses Alma Yoern, Lizzie Yoern, Lydia Felber, Olga Wipperman, Clemmie Backs, Blanche Mickle, Charlotte Fernkopf and Miss Look. A very interesting exhibit of the work of the manual training, domestic science, art, and agricultural departments was held at the Fremont school building yesterday afternoon. An especially interesting part of the exhibit was the display of garden produce from the home gardens of the various members of the agricultural club. Fine workmanship was shown in all the exhibits and the teachers are to be congratulated upon the excellent work done by the students.
