10,000 JOYOUSLY CELEBRATE THE FOURTH (Continued from page 1) visitors. Mr. Burke's speech was very short but was to the point, and full of interest. "The Eagle," said he, "the emblem of America, stands for patriotism, loyalty and freedom. Those are the foundation principles of the Fraternal Order of Eagles. Patrotism, loyalty, fraternity and justice among men is our creed." Hon. H. V. Weisel, our representative in the California legislature, was then introduced and made the principal oration of the day. Mr. Weisel reviewed the past achievements of the country, told of present conditions and problems and predicted wonderful developments in the future. He is a forceful talker and handled the subject in a masterly style. At 2 o'clock the races began on Cypress street, just north of the school grounds. J. Leslie Swope had charge of this branch of the program, with N. B. Tedford assisting. The judges were Joe Burke, Sam Newnes, Charley Gaff and Dee Jackson and Allen Melrose. Following is a list of the prize winners: Bicycle race for boys of 16 years and under, won by George Kemp, prize silver cup. Foot race of 60 yards, for boys of 16 years and under, won by Ralph Kemp, prize pin. Girls' race of 25 yards, won by Miss Rasmussen, prize chair. ENDEAVORERS HOLO BIG CONVENTION Thirty Thousand Delegates Expected at Los Angeles Meeting Plans for the International Christian Endeavor Convention to be held in Los Angeles during the six days beginning July 14th are complete. This will probably be the greatest convention California has ever had the pleasure of entertaining. At least 30,000 delegates are expected. Special trains are coming from all parts of the United States and Canada. Many delegations have their own songs, and a bright touch of color will be given by their badges and banners. A mammoth tent seating 10,000 people has been erected in Fiesta Park, while 20 of the largest churches have been secured for over-flow meetings. A great many of the world's most noted speakers, including Secretary of State Bryan, have been secured. Every convenience is being provided for the delegates. Guides and pages will meet every train. Temporary hospitals with trained nurses in charge have been arranged. On Tuesday evening preceding the convention a grand concert will be given in Fiesta Park by the convention chorus of 750 voices. Enthusiasm is running high in Orange county. Eight hundred delegates are expected from this county. The songs and yells written especially for this occasion have been practiced many times. Two thousand orange-shaped badges have been prepared. One of the very best locations has been secured for Orange county's booth. An artistic structure costing $150 will be erected there. This booth will serve the double purpose of being the headquarters for the Orange county delegation and advertising the coun- ORANGE GAME FOUR LOCAL BASEBALL EDITED BY DECISIVE FIVE TO NO CROWTHER'S BAND LIGHT FIREWORKTAIN BIG C One of the largest assembled at a ball game saw the local team gain minous defeat before they from Orange on the fourth.

Free for all race, 100-yard dash, won by King, the one-armed colored athlete from the Fullerton high school, prize, hat. Al Burns had the fat men's race won, but unfortunately he looked over his shoulder just before reaching the tape, stumbled and fell, and the balance raced over him. The crowd divided at 2 o'clock, a couple of thousand of them going down to the high school grounds to witness the ball game between Anaheim and Orange, the balance remaining on the gounds listening to music or scattering about the city. In the evening a fireworks display was given on the high school grounds. Daylight fireworks began at 6 o'clock under the auspices of the Japanese society and patriotic emblems were fired into the sky for an hour or more. At 8 o'clock the general display began and was continued until late at night. Dances were held at the opera house and the Eagles' hall at night and both places were crowded with young people who were bent on making a full day of the celebration. Notwithstanding the large crowd not an accident of any consequence was reported throughout the day and not a single arrest for fracture of the law recorded. DAMON AND PYTHIAS AT THE K. OF P. HALL High Class Entertainment Presented by Frederick H. Wilson CO-OPERATE FOR BETTER PROTECTION Forest and Park Authorities Combine Against Fire Much more effective protection from forest fires has been secured by an agreement entered into between the acting superintendent of Yosemite National Park and the supervisors of the Sierra and Stanislaus National Forests. Rangers and lookouts on the National Forests will immediately report to the superintendent of the park any fires discovered by them within or adjacent to the Yosemite, and fires near the boundaries of the Sierra or Stanislaus Forests discovered by Park authorities will be reported to Forest Service officers. The Forest Service will connect its telephone lines to the Yosemite outpost telephone system at two points to facilitate prompt communication, all military outposts along the park boundary adjacent to the respective forests are to be equipped with fire fighting tools, the park authorities will assist in fighting fires adjacent to the west boundary of the park on either of the two forests when fire threatens the park, and all available forest officers will assist in fire fighting within the park. The Forest Service will take charge of the fire fighting forces, and officers or noncommissioned officers in command of military detachments detailed in fire fighting will upon arrival at the scene of fire, report to the forest officer in charge for instructions. Bids were opened in the district office of the United States Forest Service county. Eight hundred delegates are expected from this county. The songs and yells written especially for this occasion have been practiced many times. Two thousand orange-shaped badges have been prepared. One of the very best locations has been secured for Orange county's booth. An artistic structure costing $150 will be erected there. This booth will serve the double purpose of being the headquarters for the Orange county delegation and advertising the county. It will contain exhibits of Orange county products and literature for free distribution. After the convention an excursion into Orange county is planned. This will take the form of a trolley trip to Huntington Beach, Balboa and Santa Ana. From Santa Ana the visitors will be taken on automobile trips over the county. A law-breaking down a buggy at Wednesday night, and went up to see if he had rig that was run off Hicks, engineer of the Cannery Company, and law Johnson. These two men were the road about 10 o'clock they heard an automobiles see no lights. Hicks to the right side of th DAMON AND PYTHIAS AT THE K. OF P. HALL High Class Entertainment Presented by Frederick H. Wilson On Wednesday, July 16, Frederick H. Wilson, the mimic and impersonator, will appear at the Knights of Pythias' hall in his beautiful melodrama, "Damon and Pythias." Mr. Wilson is a tragic actor of ability and nation-wide reputation and his performance is unique. Alone, unaided, he does that which no other man in the word has ever attempted. He impersonates nine different characters, nine different voices, and with nine distinct and separate mannerisms. By closing the eyes an auditor can imagine that nine people are rendering the work. The characters he impersonates are: Damon.....A Senator of Syracuse Pythias...Capt. in the Syracusan Army Dionysius..The Tyrant, afterward King Philistius....President of the Senate Damocles.....A Senator Procles.....A Soldier Lucullus.....The Slave of Damon Hermione.....Wife of Damon Calanthe.....Betrothed to Pythias Period: 343 B.

The Forest Service will take charge of the fire fighting forces, and officers or non-commissioned officers in command of military detachments detailed in fire fighting will upon arrival at the scene of fire, report to the forest officer in charge for instructions. Bids were opened in the district office of the United States Forest Service at San Francisco on June 17, for the sale of 1,500,000 feet of sugar and yellow pine, white fir and incense cedar saw timber, on the south fork of the Stanislaus river in the Stanislaus National Forest. The bid of the Standard Lumber Company was accepted at the following rates: Per M. Ft. Sugar pine .....$3.00 Yellow pine .....2.50 White fir and incense cedar .....7.75 FIND INDIAN SKELETON That Chester Smith's ranch on Mitchell avenue, Tustin, was once a camping ground or burying ground of Indians was indicated again this week when the skeleton of an Indian was unearthed. The skeleton was that of a person buried many years ago. The skull fell in when it was uncovered by gravel haulers. Most of the bones had turned to dust. Many of the teeth showed big cavities and one was worn to the roots. Constable Jackson was called, and he gathered up what there was of the skeleton to be gathered and turned the relics over to the coroner. About 16 years ago when gravel was being hauled from this same pit, men found a number of Indian metates and pestles. The skeleton was found about three feet beneath the surface. The accident occurred distance from the place and two girls were thrasy that was wrecked in manner about three two girls were in a hutton, where they lived their injuries.

ORANGE WINS GAME JULY FOURTH LOCAL BASEBALL TEAM DEFEATED BY DECISIVE SCORE OF FIVE TO NOTHING CROWTHER'S BAND AND JAP DAY-LIGHT FIREWORKS ENTER-TAIN BIG CROWD One of the largest crowds that ever assembled at a ball game in Anaheim saw the local team go down to ignominious defeat before a bunch of pirates from Orange on the afternoon of July 4th. And what added to the humiliation of the fans was the fact that the score was five to nothing. Only one Anaheimer got as far as third base. In the ninth spasm, after the game had been lost and hope was abandoned, McClane drove the ball into a line of automobiles encircling the outer field for a three bagger, but the visitors tried to rob him of his glory and held up the game for a quarter of an hour while they argued with Umpire Woodruff over his right to hold the base. The line-up of the opposing teams was as follows: Anaheim Pitcher ... D. Etchanda Catcher ... Doerr First base ... McClane Second base ... Ortego Third base ... Brock Short stop ... J. Etchanda Left field ... Evans Center field ... Staats Right field ... Carter Orange PRODUCTION OF PETROLEUM IN 1912 Increase of More Than Two Million Barrels in Year The great production of petroleum in 1911, which was 220,449,391 barrels, was equaled and passed in 1912, when the total reached 222,538,604 barrels. Higher prices were the rule in 1912 except in California, and even in that State there was no material decline. The total value therefore increased markedly, reaching $164,087,342, or 22.41 per cent above the value for 1911. The greatest increase in quantity was in California, where the total advanced from 81,134,391 to 86,540,767 barrels, a gain of 5,316,376 barrels, or 6.55 per cent. Wyoming showed the remarkable gain of 742 per cent, from 186,695 barrels to 1,572,306 barrels, owing to the increased activity of the Mid-West Oil Company and the Wyoming Oil Fields Company. Operations in northern Texas also more than offset the usual decline in the Gulf region and resulted in a significant gain for the state. The volume of crude oil and of all the usual products exported from the United States increased, owing to the fact that foreign conditions were much more favorable to American exporters. Meanwhile the importation of gasoline from the East Indies was a favorable element in relieving the growing demand for this product on the coast. The improved conditions in the export trade and the increased capacity of the refiners to take care of the great yield of crude oil resulted in a marked decline in stocks in all fields except California, and even there the storage of petroleum was checked by an increase in consumption. The total stocks of all crude oils at the beginning of 1912 aggregated 138,- R. Wilson and wife spent Sunday at Huntington Beach.

Finest of Wines. Liquors and Cigars, at Roman Wisser's The line-up of the opposing teams was as follows: Anaheim Pitcher ... D. Etchanda Catcher ... Doerr First base ... McClane Second base ... Ortego Third base ... Brock Short stop ... J. Etchanda Left field ... Evans Center field ... Staats Right field ... Carter Orange Pitcher ... Reuhle Catcher ... Gerken First base ... Meats Second base ... Pine Third base ... Warren Short stop ... Witt Lelt field ... Watson Center field ... Hart Right field ... Thompson The game was a tame and uninteresting one from start to finish. With the exception of Staats' sensational catch of Witt's long fly in the fourth, there was nothing occurred to cause a ripple of applause from the crowded stands. Few errors were made on either side, a wild throw from short to first base in the fifth, giving the visitors two runs, being the most costly. After McClane made his three-bagger the Orange men attempted to convince Umpire Woodruff that Doerr was batting out of order and that they were the victims of a frame-up. Half an hour was spent in arguing the point, but the ump. finally decided that the batting schedule was in accordance with the rules and the visitors had no grounds for objections. Etchanda gave the visitors nine hits, but Reuhle held the locals down to six. Reuhle retired nine men and Etchanda seven. Crowther's Cadet Band was present and discoursed patriotic music during the game, and the Japanese society, having charge of the Fourth of July fireworks, occasionally fired a boom into the sky which bursted into flags or patriotic emblems. AUTO CRASHES INTO BUGGY A law-breaking automobilist ran down a buggy at West Orange Thursday night, and went on without stopping to see if he had killed anyone. In the rig that was run down were Harry Hicks, engineer of the J. E. Taylor Cannery Company, and his brother-in-law, Johnson. These two men were driving along the road about 10 o'clock at night when they heard an automobile coming behind them. Looking back they could see no lights. Hicks drew his horse off to the right side of the road as far as from the East Indies was a favorable element in relieving the growing demand for this product on the coast. The improved conditions in the export trade and the increased capacity of the refiners to take care of the great yield of crude oil resulted in a marked decline in stocks in all fields except California, and even there the storage of petroleum was checked by an increase in consumption. The total stocks of all crude oils at the beginning of 1912 aggregated 138,000,000 barrels. By the close of the year they had declined to 125,000,000 barrels, a decrease of about 10 per cent. The decline was greatest in the fields east of the Rocky Mountains, where on January 1, 1912, the stocks aggregated 94,000,000 barrels; they were reduced during the year to 79,000,000 barrels, a decrease of about 16 per cent. This decline at once brought out a marked stimulation of prices all over the East, with a view to increasing the activity of drilling. Its effect was so marked, that the natural decline of the older fields was checked. Even Ohio showed a slight increase in production in 1912, for the first time in 12 years. PRAIRIE DOGS AND GRAZING INDUSTRY Sheep and Cattle Ranges in the West Should Be Freed From Pernicious Pest Washington, June 25.—As a detail of its campaign against prairie dogs on the sheep and cattle ranges of the West, the Biological Survey of the Department of Agriculture is using carbon bisulphide in connection with eight tons of poisoned grain for the extermination of the little pests on the ranges of the Coconino National Forest, Arizona. Generally the Biological Survey works to prevent the extinction of birds and mammals. In the present instance it justifies its war against prairie dogs on the principle of the camgaign against the bubonic-plague rat and squirrel, or against the rabbit which girdles fruit trees. The damage done by the prairie dog, it is pointed out, affects the stock-raising industry in two ways. First, many acres are laid bare in the neighborhood of prairie dog villages, and the amount of food available for cattle is proportionally reduced. Second, valuable animals, frequently horses, have to be killed after they have broken a leg in a prairie dog hole. According to the Department's ex- down a buggy at West Orange Thursday night, and went on without stopping to see if he had killed anyone. In the rig that was run down were Harry Hicks, engineer of the J. E. Taylor Cannery Company, and his brother-in-law, Johnson. These two men were driving along the road about 10 o'clock at night when they heard an automobile coming behind them. Looking back they could see no lights. Hicks drew his horse off to the right side of the road as far as possible. The automobile came down upon them, swerving from one side of the road to the other. On the front seat were a man and woman, the man driving. When the automobile crashed into the buggy, the woman screamed. The automobile slowed down for an instant, then speed was taken for a quick getaway. Hicks and Johnson were both thrown out and badly bruised. Of the two Johnson was most severely injured. Neither had any bones broken. Three wheels of the buggy were smashed. The two men were picked up by a passing automobile and were brought into Santa Ana. The horse went through the mix-up without injury. The accident occurred but a short distance from the place where two men and two girls were thrown from a buggy that was wrecked in much the same manner about three weeks ago. The two girls were in a hospital at Fullerton, where they lived, as a result of their injuries. The German Lutheran congregation began on Monday the erection of a new school building on Chartres street, between Emily and Hedwig, opposite the Central school building. A new church also will shortly be erected by the Lutherans. The damage done by the prairie dog, it is pointed out, affects the stock-raising industry in two ways. First, many acres are laid bare in the neighborhood of prairie dog villages, and the amount of food available for cattle is proportionally reduced. Second, valuable animals, frequently horses, have to be killed after they have broken a leg in a prairie dog hole. According to the Department's expert the stock industry has unwittingly favored the increase of prairie dogs by killing off coyotes that prey upon stock but are also natural enemies of the prairie dogs. Last year on the Cochetopa National Forest of Colorado fifteen tons of poisoned oats freed some 26,000 acres of grazing land from prairie dogs. On the Pike National Forest, in the same state, seven tons of oats were used to clear 60,000 acres. This year five or six tons of the poisoned grain only was used on the Cochetopa and three tons sufficed for the Pike. It is estimated that on all the National Forests about 278,000 acres, which had been rendered worthless for grazing purposes by prairie dogs, have been restored to their former usefulness. Since it takes on the average 40 acres to support one cow, or eight sheep, this means a gain in the carrying capacity of the range sufficient to run 6,950 cattle or 55,600 sheep.
