MINE INDUSTRY IN STATE Since the first of the year the State Mining Bureau has been actively engaged in collecting statistics regarding the mineral production in California for the year 1912. While the work is not yet fully completed and the annual report will not be available for some two or three months, the returns from mineral producers have been complete enough so that a very clear idea of the condition of the industry for 1912 may be had, and many interesting facts are already apparent. Forty-two mineral substances were commercially produced in the state in 1912, from petroleum with an approximate value of forty-three million dollars, down to manganese, some two hundred dollars worth of which was mined and sold. Each of the following minerals had an output exceeding $1,000,000 in value: Petroleum, gold, cement, copper, crushed rock, brick and borax. The total value of these seven materials equaled about $80,000,000, or eight-ninths of the value of the entire mineral output, the remaining 35 substances making up the balance of ten odd million dollars. Borax, magnesite and chrome production for the United States come solely from California. Eighty percent of the domestic supply of quicksilver is mined here; the same figures hold true in the case of platinum; tungsten is produced in but two or three other states. California leads all tary presses, turning out many copies of newspapers per hour. Lithography, electricity, electric and hydraulic power, coal, gas and electric light, the storage of power, pneumatic dispatch, the telegraph, telephone, wireless photograph and gramophone, photography — from the daguereotype to colored photography — cinematography, and kinemacolor. The invention and erection of new metals, the advancement in mining, the utilization of rubber, recording instruments of all kinds, the linotype, calculating devices, the great advance in agricultural machinery and all kinds of labor-saving devices, the marvelous achievements in chemistry — in fact, the harnessing of the very elements for the use and comfort of the nations. FOREST NOTES The Balkan war has brought about a rise in certain lumber prices in Europe because of the big demand for wood for ammunition boxes. Dogwood, the principal source of shuttles for use in cotton mills, is growing scarcer year by year, and various substitutes are being tried, but with no great success. The officials of the Yosemite National Park are co-operating with the forest officers of the Stanislaus and Sierra national forests for fire prevention and control in both the park and the forests. Experiments with a tree planting machine at the Utah Agricultural Experiment Station indicates that it may be used to advantage in reforesting old burned areas on the national forests. The leading forest schools of the country not only have their own forest tracts for continuous experiments, but give their students actual experience in the woods by having them take part in big lumbering operations.

Borax, magnesite and chrome production for the United States come solely from California. Eighty percent of the domestic supply of quicksilver is mined here; the same figures hold true in the case of platinum; tungsten is produced in but two or three other states. California leads all other states in the Union in the value of petroleum and gold produced; is first of all states west of the Mississippi in the value of her total mineral production, and is only outranked by a few of the great iron and coal producing states of the East. Every one of the 58 counties in California contain mineral deposits of some description. During 1912 all but two reported a commercial production of one or more minerals, with value ranging from Kern county with its $22,000,000 output, down to Tehama with a production worth only a few hundred dollars. Kern leads all other counties in petroleum production; Amador and Yuba are close rivals for first place in gold output; Shasta produces 80 per cent of the copper total; Los Angeles lead in brick and crushed rock; Inyo is first in borax, lead, soda and zinc; San Benito is first in quicksilver production; San Diego county produces half of the gems found in the state; Placer is first in granite and building stone; Santa Cruz in lime; San Bernardino in limestone; Tulare in magnesite; Tuolumne in marble; Alameda in salt, and Colusa in sandstone. Thus is shown, in some degree, the wide distribution of the mineral industry throughout the state, the total value of which will show an increase for 1912 of from three to five million dollars over that of the previous year, and gives evidence of the steady growth of the industry, as well as the important economic bearing it will surely have upon the prosperity of California for many years to come. PEACE CENTENARY Under the patronage of the Duke of Connaught, and the honorary presidency of the Duke of Teck, will be held an Anglo-American exposition (May to October 1914) in London, in the permanent exposition grounds and buildings covering 150 acres, in celebration of the centenary of peace between the two nations, dating from the Ghent treaty in 1814, and to demonstrate the progress which has been made during that century in the arts.

IN AND ABOUT THE CITY If you can't own Anaheim, don't disown it. Nina M. Smith of Anaheim has begun suit for divorce against Fielding B. Smith. A. E. Koepsel of Santa Ana is attorney for the plaintiff. Cashier McCord, of the German-American bank, is in San Francisco on a vacation of several weeks. He is accompanied by Mrs. McCord, and will visit many points of interest in the northern part of the state. It's been discovered at last the meaning of the signs—"The Great Yellow," "Coming in Yellow," etc., has aroused the curiosity of the people for the last ten days. No one has been able to find a clue till it appeared in Falkenstein's window, announcing their first Great Yellow Tag Sale that commences Saturday, July 12th. All persons wishing to contribute fruit, jam, etc., to the Y M. C. A. boys for their Catalina camp will please leave it at Mr. Petermann's grocery store before August 1st. He has kindly consented to pack and ship it for us. The Ladies' Auxiliary thank you in advance for all favors which the boys will surely appreciate. Johnny Walls came in from Imperial the other day, attired in summer togs, white shoes and picture hat. When he left the interior the thermometer registered 118 degrees. When he arrived in Los Angeles it was raining. He declares the next time he comes here he will fit himself out with rubber boots and heavier clothing to keep from freezing. A. E. Griggs and F. L. Ramharter, accompanied by their wives, spent the Fourth of July in San Diego. One of the first sights they encountered, according to Mr. Griggs, was Rev. David Todd Gillmor, rector of St. Michael's, and City Attorney H. G. Ames, each astride a piebald pony on a merry-go-round, and disporting themselves like school boys on a vacation. Mrs. Gillmor and Mrs. Ames accompanied them, but were acting with decorum.

A silver medal contest was held at the Fremont school on Saturday and the medal was won by Dorothy Hunt. The class was very even, there being only 2 per cent difference. The other contestants were Dorothy Rockwell, Luna Wellman, Erma Mills, Hazel Goetz and Lorene Owen. The judges were all from Santa Ana and were brought by Mrs. Anna A. Hill who is county superintendent of medal contest work of the W. C. T. U. Saturday afternoon the pupils of Miss Trowbridge and Miss Sutherland, of the Anaheim branch of the University of Southern California College of Music, gave a recital in the First Methodist Episcopal church. Pupils of all grades played. The program, being a varied one, was much enjoyed by all. The pupils showed a marked improvement over the playing in their recital three months ago in that the whole program was given from memory. Miss Trowbridge's solo was heartily encored, showing the appreciation of her selections by her audience. She will not teach in Anaheim during the month of August but will begin with the fall term in September. Miss Sutherland will teach all summer and has already opened several new features for summer study in Anaheim.

CLAY WINNER IN LAW SUIT Gets Decision Over Ben Baxter in Action in Superior Court Judge West of the superior court this week rendered judgment in the case of Maude Alice Clay vs. Ben Baxter, in favor of Mrs. Clay. This action grew out of an agreement between Mrs. Clay and Mr. Baxter, entered into last December, for the planting of her 20 acres of land in the Golden State tract to orange trees and has some romantic features connected with it. By the agreement Mrs. Clay was to furnish the land and the trees and Baxter was to do the planting and care for the trees for three years after which he was to receive one-half of the land for his work. Mrs. Clay claims that to induce her to sign the agreement Baxter became an ardent wooer and finally promised to marry her, but after securing her signature to the agreement he coolly informed her that he was engaged to another woman and would not keep his promise with her. This spoiled Mrs. Clay's plans for her future home and she at once brought suit to cancel the agreement, claiming that her signature to the agreement was obtained by fraud and that the agreement was unjust in its terms. In support of her contentions Mrs. Clay produced the testimony of Arthur Porter, Oliver Schumacher, Thos. Strain, Jr., of Placentia, and Mr. Gervais, of Anaheim, all experts in the care of orange trees. By its judgment the court sustains Mrs. Clay in all her contentions and finds that the agreement was procured by a false promise and was unfair to Mrs. Clay. F. C. Spencer, of Anaheim, is attorney for Mrs. Clay. ARMAGEDDON OF THE SCRIPTURES Starfling Presentation of Coming Events. PASTOR RUSSELL'S VIEWS. Churches of All Denominations and the Civil Powers of Earth Are About to Unite In Common Cause—Powerful Influence Preparing For the Battle of Armageddon—A Reign of Anarchy Will Be the Result of the Warfare Until The Messiah Takes Control. Brooklyn, N. Y., Nov. 3. — The Brooklyn Academy of Music was crowded to the limit today to hear Pastor Russell's discourse on the "Battle of Armageddon." His text was: "He gathered them together unto a placed called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon." (Revelation xv1, 10.) The speaker said: Armageddon in the Hebrew signifies the "Hill of Megiddo," or Mount of Destruction. It was famous as a battlefield in Old Testament times. The Lord has seen fit to associate the name Armageddon, with the great controversy between Truth and Error, right and wrong, God and Mammon, with which this Age will close, perish, and the New Age of Messiah's glory be ushered in. He has purposely used highly symbolic figures of speech in the last book of the Bible, evidently the placing of monopolies and utilities and the supplies of nature in the hands of the people for the public good. The crisis will be reached when the hitherto upholders of law shall become violators of the law and resisters of the will of the majority as expressed by the ballot. Fear for the future will lead the well-meaning masses to desperation; and anarchy will result when Socialism falls. The Cloud's Silver Lining. Horrible would be this outlook for the future did we not have the infallible Word of God assuring us of a glorious outcome! Divine Wisdom has withheld until our day the great knowledge and skill which is at the same time breeding millionaires and discontents. Had God lifted the veil a thousand years sooner, the world would have lined up for its Armageddon a thousand years sooner. But that would have been too soon for the Divine purpose, because Messiah's Kingdom is to be the great Thousand-Year-Sabbath of the world's history. God in kindness velled our eyes until the time when the gathering to Armageddon would immediately precede Messiah's taking to Himself His great power, and beginning His reign.—Revelation xi, 17, 18. "Send Them Strong Delusions." St. Paul wrote prophetically of our time, that it would be one of serious trial and testing to many professing to be Christians. The reason for this he states—they received not the Truth in the love of it. (II Thessalonians ii, 10, 11.) They preferred their own erroneous theories, the Apostle explains, and therefore God will give them over to a "strong delusion," and let them believe the lie which they preferred, and let them suffer for missing the Truth which they did not love. Thus they will be in the condemned host, "fighting against God," because of their lack of love for the Truth. It is sad to say that we all as Christians have been laboring under a thorough delusion respecting God's Plan. We have claimed that Christ set up His Church in Kingdom power, and that the Church has been reigning on KEEPING FOOD IN SUMMER Practical Suggestions Regarding the Health During Heated Term The Department of Agriculture in Washington issued the following practical suggestions in regard to keeping food and drink in hot weather, with a view to helping the public to avoid sickness from eating spoiled articles of diet: "While people should be careful about the condition of the food they eat at all seasons of the year, they should be particularly watchful during the summer months. In hot weather, bacteria multiply far more rapidly than in cold weather and produce chemical changes in some foods which greatly lessen their nutritive value and often make them unfit for human consumption. Unfortunately, there is no quick, absolute, simple, practical way of determining the presence of hurtful bacilli in foods, or of obtaining positive evidence of the existence of ptomaines. "The housewife will find eyes and nose the safest practical detectives of bad food in hot weather. If any article has any suspicion of an unusual odor or looks abnormal, it should be avoided. Only sweet smelling, clean food should be eaten. Spotted, green, slimy or frothy raw meat, or meat which is soft in spots, also should be regarded with suspicion. A mother before she allows her child to eat anything, should examine it carefully in a good light, smell it, and finally taste it. "Milk particularly deteriorates rapidly under summer heat, especially if it already contains bacteria. Housewives, therefore, should see to it that their milk after being left by the milk man does not stand for any length of time on a hot back porch or stoop before it is put in the ice box. Milk bottles should be kept closed, both in the ice box and out of it. If there is any doubt at all as to the excellence of the local milk supply, pasteurize all milk." "Uncooked foods as a general proposition should be avoided. Children should not be allowed to eat the skins of fruits especially fruits which have support of her contents Mrs. Clay produced the testimony of Arthur Porter, Oliver Schumacher, Thos. Strain, Jr., of Placentia, and Mr. Gervais, of Anaheim, all experts in the care of orange trees. By its judgment the court sustains Mrs. Clay in all her contentions and finds that the agreement was procured by a false promise and was unfair to Mrs. Clay. F. C. Spencer, of Anaheim, is attorney for Mrs. Clay." Armageddon." (Revelation xvi, 16.) The speaker said: Armageddon in the Hebrew signifies the "Hill of Megiddo," or Mount of Destruction. It was famous as a battlefield in Old Testament times. The Lord has seen fit to associate the name Armageddon, with the great controversy between Truth and Error, right and wrong. God and Mammon, with which this Age will close, perish, and the New Age of Messiah's glory be ushered in. He has purposely used highly symbolical figures of speech in the last book of the Bible, evidently with a view to hiding certain important truths until the due time for their revelation. But even in the due time, the Bible assures us, "None of the wicked shall understand" (Daniel xil, 9, 10)—none who are out of heart harmony with God—but only the wise of His people—the "wise virgin" class of the Master's parable. I have long avoided presentation of my understanding of our text and its context. I take it up now by request and because I believe it is due time to be understood. I disclaim any special inspiration. In some particulars my views agree with those of other Bible students, and in other respects they disagree. Each hearer must use his own judgment, do his own Bible study, and reach his own conclusions. Kindly remember that I am not responsible for the figures of speech used by the Lord. My interpretations do indeed constitute a terrible arraignment of institutions which we have all reverenced and which embrace good people, of good words and good works. God's saintly people in these various institutions, being comparatively few, are ignored when systems as a whole are dealt with in prophecy. The Dragon, Beast, False Prophet. Our context tells us that three impure spirits (teachings) will go forth from the mouths of the Dragon, the Beast and the False Prophet, and these three will be in accord, and symbolically the doctrines are represented by "frogs." These three doctrines are to have a mighty influence throughout the civilized earth. They are to gather the kings and their armies to the great Battle of Armageddon. The ecclesiastical kings and princes, and their retinues of clergy and faithful adherents, will be gathered in solid phalanx—Protestant and Catholic. The kings and captains of industry, and as many as can be influenced by them, will be gathered to the same side. The political kings and princes, with all their benchmen and retainers, will follow in line on the same side. The financial kings and merchant princes, and all whom they can influence by the most gigantic power ever yet exercised in the world, will join the same side, according to this prophecy. These "doctrines of demons," represented by the "frogs," will lead many noble people in this great army to assume an attitude quite contrary to their predecessors. They preferred them own creature theories, the Apostle explains, and therefore God will give them over to a "strong delusion," and let them believe the lie which they preferred, and let them suffer for missing the Truth which they did not love. Thus they will be in the condemned host, "fighting against God," because of their lack of love for the Truth. It is sad to say that we all as Christians have been laboring under a thorough delusion respecting God's Plan. We have claimed that Christ set up His Church in Kingdom power, and that the Church has been reigning on the earth as His representative. On the strength of this delusion, Jews and heretics have been persecuted to death as opponents to Christ's Kingdom. All the while we thoughtlessly repeated the Lord's prayer: "Thy Kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth, as in Heaven." We knew that the Redeemer said that He would come again to make us His Bride and joint-heirs; but we ignored the Scriptures. We were drunk, as the Scriptures symbolically say, "all nations were drunk" with the false doctrine. It is this false doctrine that will constitute the "frog" spirit which soon will begin to croak and to prepare for Armageddon. The Bible presentation is that the world is a section of the universe in rebellion against Divine authority, under the captainacy of Satan and his associated fallen angels. By Divine grace Jesus has already "tasted death for every man," and the merit of that sacrifice must eventually grant Adam and his posterity a full, fair opportunity for the attainment of everlasting life. All who thus see the Divine program and are walking in the light may know something at least respecting the "times and seasons." These brethren "are not in darkness, that that day [and that battle of Armageddon] should overtake" them "as a thief"—un awares. Armageddon Not Yet but Soon. For forty years the Armageddon forces have been mustering for both sides of the conflict. Strikes, lockouts and riots, great and small, have been merely incidental skirmishes as the belligerent parties crossed each other's paths. Court and Army scandals in Europe, Insurance, Trust and Court scandals in America, have shaken public confidence. Dynamite plots, charged by turns on employees and on employers, have further shaken confidence and tended to make each distrustful of the other. Bitter and angry feelings on both sides are more and more manifest. The lines of battle are daily becoming more distinctly marked. Nevertheless Armageddon cannot yet be fought. Other matters intervene, according to prophecy. Gentile times have still two years to run. The "Image of the Beast" of our context must yet receive life—power. The Image must be transformed from a mere mechanism to a living force. Protestant Federation realizes that its imaginary lute prepara it already contains bacteria. Housewives, therefore, should see to it that their milk after being left by the milk man does not stand for any length of time on a hot back porch or stoop before it is put in the ice box. Milk bottles should be kept closed, both in the ice box and out of it. If there is any doubt at all as to the excellence of the local milk supply, pasteurize all milk." "Uncooked foods as a general proposition should be avoided. Children should not be allowed to eat the skins of fruits, especially fruits which have been exposed to flies or street dirt on unscreened stands or push-carts." More than $5,000,000 a month—to be more exact, $5,640,000—or in excess of $185,000 a day, is what California spent during the last fiscal year for automobiles. These figures show that California is the greatest automobile state in the Union, as only New York, with a population more than quadruple that of California, has spent more money for automobiles than the Golden State. Figures for the fiscal year ending June 30, compiled by J. G. Mansfield, superintendent of the motor vehicle department of Secretary of State Jordan's office at Sacramento, show that during the last 12 months California invested a sum estimated at $67,684,000 in motor vehicles, exclusive of motorcycles. During the year 33,842 gasoline and electric pleasure cars and trucks were registered and Superintendent Mansfield asserts that the average value of the cars sold in California was $2,000. According to the department's records on July 1, the total number of cars registered in California since the motor vehicle department was established in 1905, was 111,656. Following out Mansfield's method of computation, the grand total amount invested in motor-driven vehicles in California in eight years amounted to $223,312,000. These "doctrines of demons," represented by the "frogs," will lead many noble people in this great army to assume an attitude quite contrary to their preference. For a time the wheels of liberty and progress will be turned backward and medieval restraints will be considered necessary for self-preservation—for the maintenance of the present order of things. In giving this interpretation, it is necessary for us to indicate what is symbolized by the Dragon, the Beast, and the False Prophet. Bible students of nearly all denominations agree with us that the "Dragon" of Revelation represents the purely Civil Power. Protestant interpreters generally agree that the "Beast like a leopard" (Revelation xiii. 2) represents the Papacy. But fewer still, we fear, will be ready to support our view that Protestantism is the "Image of the Beast" (Revelation xlll. 15) in our context given another name, "the False Prophet." We urge no one to accept our interpretation, nor shall we think hard of any who refuse it. We will neither slander nor otherwise injure them now, nor threaten them with eternal torture. They have the same right to their views that I have, and the same right to make them known to others. And I, for one, will be very glad to consider anything which opponents may set forth as their interpretations of our text. "Unclean Spirits Like Frogs." The symbolisms of Scripture, rightly understood, are always forceful. When the Holy Spirit used a "frog" to symbolically represent certain kings and captains of industry, and as many as can be influenced by them, will be gathered to the same side. The political kings and princes, with all their henchmen and retainers, will follow in line on the same side. The financial kings and merchant princes, and all whom they can influence by the most gigantic power ever yet exercised in the world, will join the same side, according to this prophecy.

Gentile times have still two years to run. The "Image of the Beast" of our context must yet receive life—power. The Image must be transformed from a mere mechanism to a living force. Protestant Federation realizes that its organization will still be futile unless it receive vitalization—unless its clergy directly or indirectly shall be recognized as possessed of apostolic ordination and authority to teach. This the prophecy indicates will come from the two horned beast, which we believe, symbolically represents the Church of England. High-handed activities of Protestantism and Catholicism, operating in conjunction for the suppression of human liberties, await this vivifying of the Image. This may come soon, but Armageddon cannot precede it, but must follow—perhaps a year after it, according to our view of the Prophecy. Still another thing intervenes: Although the Jews are gradually flowing into Palestine, gradually obtaining control of the land of Canaan, and although reports say that already nineteen millionaires are there, nevertheless prophecy requires an evidently larger number of wealthy Hebrews to be there before the Armageddon crisis be reached. Indeed we understand that "Jacob's trouble" in the Holy Land will come at the very close of Armageddon. Then Messiah's Kingdom will begin to be manifested. Thenceforth Israel in the land of promise will gradually rise from the ashes of the past to the grandeur of prophecy. Through its Divinely appointed princes Messiah's Kingdom, all-powerful but invisible, will begin to roll away the curse and to lift up mankind. Thursday, July 10 SEEKING BURIED TREASURE The latest person to fall for the buried treasure story at San Juan Capistrano, which has been handed down from the Indians is Pleasantino Leon, the aged Mexican who became the most famous figure in the life of Sonoratown, Los Angeles, by marrying Marcellina Elisalda, aged 101, over the legal protest of her relatives, has become the most mysterious person in that same Little Mexico. Leon left last week with two companions to search for buried treasure near the mission town of San Juan Capistrano, an old Indian having given him the tip. This was the picturesque old Mexican's second quest. A week ago he started out and did not return to his home at 419 Sunset boulevard for three days. His daughter could get onthing out of him, and his last departure was such a secret that only two or three persons in the neighborhood understood what was happening. The old Indian told Leon that the treasure was buried near the ruins of the mission and that it is a very great sum. Evidently the direction given by him needed some amendment, for Leon made no discovery of anything that looked like pieces of eight and Spanish doubloons. Leon has considerable property which fell o him after his wife died, but the story of the old Indian fired his imagination so that he could not resist the lure. It is understood that he is preparing to keep up the search for the gold if it takes all summer. Don't Call It Slang. A Cleveland man who has lived for a number of years recently got it into his head that he might die one of these days and that it would be well if he wrote his autobiography ere that sad event occurred, as one might say. So he sat down and wrote many pages Don't Call It Slang. A Cleveland man who has lived for a number of years recently got it into his head that he might die one of these days and that it would be well if he wrote his autobiography ere that sad event occurred, as one might say. So he sat down and wrote many pages and took those pages to a local publisher. After the manuscript had been in the latter's hands for some time the author called him up. "This is Bjones," he explained genally. "Who's Bjones?" came the reply. "Bjones, you know—Bjones of East Umpth street, whose autobiography you are publishing. Ah—I'm a little short this week. Could you let me have something in advance?" "Not on your life!" And you may think the printer was slangy, but he wasn't.—Cleveland Plain Dealer. Split Infinitives. To sometimes in an emergency or when laboring under a great mental stress split an infinitive may be excusable, but to deliberately or wantonly or with malice prepense tear its parts asunder or to cruelly divorce the helpless and dependent "to" from her verbal spouse is severely condemned by purists. The general practice, however, is said to have prevailed among standard English authors since the seventeenth century.—Boston Globe. A Fighting Chance. "So you think the author of this play will live, do you?" remarked the tourist. "Yes," replied the manager of the Frzen Dog Opera House. "He's got a five mile start, and I don't think the boys kin ketch him."—Life. Including the Wedding Fee.

G. at Camp Scott Five hundred and fifty earnest young Americans went into camp at Fort Winfield Scott Monday afternoon. Making up ten companies of the Coast Artillery Corps, National Guard of California, they will form part of the forces of Uncle Sam at the garrison for the next two weeks. Business, factory, store and home ties will be forgotten for that period while the artillery end of the war game is being learned. This afternoon the start was made from the armory on Van Ness avenue near California street, Los Angeles. In the customary olive drab fatigue uniform, and each packing about sixteen pounds of blanket, haversack, canteen and rifle, the citizen soldiers looked like the real article as they strode along. A couple of hours later the miniature army sighted the welcome heights above old Fort Point, a bit footsore, somewhat leg weary, but still buoyant. The reserves fell right to the task of building up the tent city, and everything was in spick and span condition for the first camp meal. Sunday there will be little besides guard mount and the reception of visitors. Monday the practice with the 12-inch guns will begin. According to the feelings among the men, any records that the regulars may have been making lately in the peppering of the targets far out at sea will be in danger. Last year the amateur gunners did some exceptionally good work. The march was from the armory over Van Ness avenue to Lombard, out Lombard to the Presidio, over the road...

HEAT KILLS HOGS Two Carloads Die Sunday While Crossing the Desert Fully half of a consignment of four carloads of hogs being shipped over the Salt Lake railroad died from the heat yesterday while passing over the desert. Although every effort was put forth by the train crew to save them, it was to no avail. When the freight reached Ponoma the remainder of the hogs could scarcely stand upon their feet. The train passed through Pomona about 7:30, and stopped for a few moments. A man in charge of a car of horses next to the four cars of hogs said that the animals were watered wherever possible, but that even these extra measures seemed to relieve the suffering only for a moment. Mr. and Mrs. Will Lawrence, of Dowie, Arizona, are visiting here; the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Sandilands.
