LAND SHOW HAS MANY NEW STUNTS
HOME INDUSTRIAL EXHIBITION
SPRINGS SEVERAL ORIGINAL IDEAS
SEVENTY-FIVE PER CENT OF THE 40,000 FLOOR SPACE ALREADY RESERVED
Originality is to be the keynote of the forthcoming California Land Show and Home Industry exhibition, to be held in San Francisco from October 11 to 25 inclusive. The various communities throughout the state, and the manufacturers and packers as well are seeking after unique methods of displaying their products and the variety of those already designed give promise of an exhibition, which for variety and artistic merit combined with potent selling qualities will eclipse all previous shows of this character. Miniature farms and irrigation projects with working models and mechanical effects of the most ingenious kind and wonderful structures built of fruits and grasses and other products of the soil are among the exhibits being designed.
Of the 40,000 square feet of available floor space for exhibition purposes more than 75 per cent has been reserved and the balance will be taken suited to it. By these means the home-seekers will be assisted in securing the character of farm of which he is in search.
MONUMENT TO JUNIPERO SERRA
Will Be Erected on Site of First House in California
Two hundred men of San Diego gathered on Presidio Hill, the "Plymouth Rock" of the Pacific coast and dedicated the site for a monument to Junipero Serra, to be erected on the spot where he raised the first permanent civilized habitation in California, July 16, 1769. This monument will be built of the tiles and bricks gathered from the ruins, cemented into a huge cross visible from sea, railroads and El Camino Real as the city of San Diego is approached.
One million feet of lumber will be required for the Agricultural building at the San Diego exposition grounds; foundations started last week. The building will have 75,000 feet of space on the main floor.
Sculptors have almost finished the decoration of the Home Economy building and are starting work on those for the great building of the Seven Southern Counties, one of the most beautiful on the grounds.
Contractors have cleared the ground and have started foundations for the California State building, one of the most expensive at the San Diego exposition. It will cost $250,000 when completed and aside from the capitol at Sacramento will be the finest struc-
Of the 40,000 square feet of available floor space for exhibition purposes more than 75 per cent has been reserved and the balance will be taken up within the next month according to the rate at which reservations are being made. Twenty-five counties have made reservations and the exhibits so far arranged for have reached a total of 110.
The passenger traffic departments of the various railroads coming into the state are this fall preparing for unusually heavy business during the month between September 15 and October 15 when the Homeseekers' excursions are conducted every year. The low one-fare tickets issued from all Eastern and Middle West points annually attract thousands of settlers to California, and from the indications this year the number will be greatly increased. These homeseekers are not immigrants or paupers but farmers who have sold out their interests in the East and are seeking the more profitable field of sunny California. They are investors and of a kind that particularly interest the farming communities here—the boards of trade and chambers of commerce throughout the state—for they are looking for investments in land.
The Land Show opens up in the very thick of this great influx of investors and presents an attraction that will particularly appeal to these farmers looking for farms. Here under the mammoth pavilion the man from the East, eager to resume his farming operations under the most favorable conditions and seeking a location, will find an index to the entire state—a great open book in which no item of information will be missing—and all the lands of California speard before him to choose from. Besides these practical farmers there are the potential "converts" to farming, the "reformed" city dwellers who need only the material evidence of the profits and pleasures of tilling California soil to crystallize their half-formed dreams of country life and intensified farming.
The California Land Show and Home Industry exhibition has been appropriately called "the show of individuality," and upon the originality and attractiveness of the various exhibits will depend in large degree the selec-

Contractors have cleared the ground and have started foundations for the California State building, one of the most expensive at the San Diego exposition. It will cost $250,000 when completed and aside from the capitol at Sacramento will be the finest structure the state owns.
Concessions Department of the exposition is busy with a large number of applications, many of which are rejected as unsuitable at an exposition of this character. Many high class and new features have been signed up.
Opposite the California State building will be built the Art Palace, of reinforced concrete, a permanent park structure to cost $150,000.
Traffic men of the transcontinental railroads estimate the attendance as 8,000,000 and are making their arrangements accordingly.
Counties of the state that are not already included in the plans for participation at the exposition are sending representatives to San Diego almost weekly to secure space. The plan put up to them is so favorable that they can not afford to overlook it.
OREGON FIRST TO PASS THROUGH CANAL
Famous Battleship, With Sec. Daniels on Board, Leads Long Procession
Standing on the bridge of the famous battleship Oregon, Secretary of the Navy Josephus Daniels will lead the entire battleship fleet of the United States through the Panama Canal and up the Pacific coast as soon as Colonel Goethals gives the word for the big fighting ships to steam through the waterway. Secretary Daniels gave this information shortly after the train in which he was riding left Oceanside.
In addition to the Oregon, the battleships which probably will make the notable cruise will include the Wyoming, Florida, Arkansas, Delaware, North Dakota, Utah, Vermont, Louisiana, Michigan, New Hampshire, South Carolina, Virginia, Georgia, Nebraska, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Minnesota, Connecticut, Idaho, Kansas, Ohio, Wisconsin, Alabama, Indiana, Iowa, Kearnsarge, Kentucky, Maine, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Missouri and the two large dreadnaughts now nearing completion at eastern shipyards, making a

The California Land Show and Home Industry exhibition has been appropriately called "the show of individuality," and upon the originality and attractiveness of the various exhibits will depend in large degree the selection of a location by the homeseekers. The great crowds coming to San Francisco for the Portola Festival will be attracted to the show by these features and by the entertainment offered in the daily programs. There will be restaurants and comfortable restrooms with all accommodations for ladies, smoking and reading rooms for men and nurseries or "creches" in charge of competent nurses and attendants so that visitors may leave their children while viewing the exhibits. These conveniences and the continuous programs by three separate musical features will make the great pavillon a popular place for the hordes that will crowd the city during the middle of October.
Among the features provided by the management of the show to the counties to assist in the promotion of their land projects is a lecture hall with screen and appliances for the projection of moving pictures so that actual scenes of activity may be shown in illustration of lectures describing the particular charms and advantages of the various sections. Many of the counties have films showing the beauties of their country and others are making arrangements to have them made, realizing that in this manner a comprehensive idea is given the prospective settler. The University of California has detailed lecturers who in a series of popular talks will deal with the question of the soils in various parts of the state and the crops best

The secretary could not state when this event would take place, but said the fleet would be assembled ready for the voyage when Colonel Goethals announces that the canal is ready. Plans for using the famous battleship Oregon as the flagship are tentative.
ANOTHER LEPER ARRESTED
Mexican Colonies at Chino and Cucamonga to Be Examined
The leper captured at Cucamonga this week is not the same who escaped from the San Bernardino county pest house a few weeks ago, though he bears the same name, Jose Araiza, a remarkable coincidence. Dr. P. M. Savage, county health officer, has been making an examination of the new case and finds it to be a case of leprosy in the worst form.
The health officers are somewhat alarmed over the matter and it is probable will make a close examination of the Mexican colonies at Chino and Cucamonga, the former case having come from Chino, it being feared there are other cases.
Araiza is being detained in the county pesthouse and it is probable steps will be taken to deport him to the leper colony in the Hawaiian Islands.

PLAY-SCHOOL FOR TRAINING BODY AND MIND
INTERESTING MEETING HELD AT THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA
MANUAL TRAINING DEPARTMENT AND OUT-DOOR EDUCATION GROWING POPULAR
With the thousand students who are taking courses in physical education in the summer session participating in the Physical Education Association of the Pacific Coast, held its second annual conference on Friday and Saturday, July 25 and 26, at the University of California.
The "play-school" conducted by the university during the summer session was inspected. The theory of this "play-school" is that it is not necessary to put children in jail in order to teach them. The two hundred and fifty children in the "play-school" for the six weeks of the summer session spend all their time out of doors. They learn through bodily activity, through doing things. Every day they learn arithmetic by playing games in which there is much adding and subtracting to be done; every day they study natural science by digging and planting in the school garden and taking care of animals, fishes, and birds. They learn music by playing singing games, they as pointed out by the officials of the bureaus, that the co-operation is confined to the lighthouse districts on the shores of the Great Lakes in the lumber states of Michigan and Wisconsin. The lighthouse reservations here include a total of nearly 5,500 acres, and range in size from 30 acres at Grand Island, Mich., to 1,040 acres at Grand Marais.
An examination is just being started to determine the best forest methods to pursue on the reservations. On some, from which the timber has been cut, white pine and Norway pine will be planted. On others the timber already growing will be preserved through use. On two of the reservations, the forest experts point out, the opportunities are excellent for growing cedar and pine for spar buoys and piling, to be used in the work of the lighthouse bureau itself.
All parts of the reservations can not be devoted to forests. Some areas will have to be left clear for protection from fire, while others immediately adjacent to the beacons themselves will have to be left bare in order that the lights may not be obscured.
Acting Secretary of Agriculture B. T. Galloway issued a permit on July 2 to the Mount Whitney Power & Electric Company for its Kaweah No. 2 power plant on the Sequoia national forest. This plant is located on the Kaweah river, and has been in operation since February, 1905. The defective public land surveys in that vicinity have been the cause of delay until this time in putting the plant under formal permit.

to put children in jail in order to teach them. The two hundred and fifty children in the "play-school" for the six weeks of the summer session spend all their time out of doors. They learn through bodily activity, through doing things. Every day they learn arithmetic by playing games in which there is much adding and subtracting to be done; every day they study natural science by digging and planting in the school garden and taking care of animals, fishes, and birds. They learn music by playing singing games, they get manual training by constructing things to be used in their gardens and in their other pursuits; their training in English comes in the form of storytelling; geography they learn by field excursions into the Berkeley hills.
That these children in the "play-school" are made to mind is one detail in which the methods in use differ from some recent educational novelties.
After inspection of the work of the "play-school," there was a conference at Hearst Hall, in which Professor C. W. Hetherington of the University of Wisconsin, described the activities of the "play-school," while Dr. Frank G. Bruner, director of clinical psychology in the Chicago city schools, lectured on "The Physiological Method of Education," and told of the work being done at the university this summer in training teachers to deal with backward children, those mentally deficient, or those abnormally bright. There are 30 such children at school in a tent on the campus for teachers to observe and to work with under expert direction. That evening there was a public demonstration of present-day physical education and play-ground methods, in the Greek theater. The university students and the children of the "play-school" showed these new methods in gymnastic drill, folk dancing, children singing games, aesthetic dancing, etc.
The "Red Light Abatement Law" was the subject for discussion by the physical education conference at a meeting Saturday morning, July 26. Since the referendum has been invoked against this new law, arguments in favor of sustaining the measure were presented by a number of speakers, including Miss Fanny McLean, vice-president of the California Civic League; Professor Thomas H. Reed, Mrs. J. W. Orr, president of the California Federation of Womens' Clubs, Dr. J. C. Spencer, of the medical department, and S. C. Evans of Riverside.
The conference closed with an inspection of the play-ground maintained on the university campus during the summer session, where a thousand or more Berkeley children resort daily to the Mount Whitney Power & Electric Company for its Kaweah No. 2 power plant on the Sequoia national forest. This plant is located on the Kaweah river, and has been in operation since February, 1905. The defective public land surveys in that vicinity have been the cause of delay until this time in putting the plant under formal permit.
Eighty Per Cent of the Normal Receipts Realized This Year
Approximately $20,000,000 will be the total receipts for citrus fruits shipped out of California during the fruit growers' year ending August 31. This is about 80 per cent of the normal annual receipts, for the yield was only 50 per cent of the normal, owing to the freak weather of last winter.
G. Harold Powell, general manager of the California Fruit Growers' Exchange, is of the opinion that industry will be indirectly benefited by the unusual cold of last winter, which injured many trees. As a result of the frost, he declares, growers have been forced to study the care and culture of trees more carefully, and will be better able to cultivate groves in the future and to protect them from injury by freak cold attacks that may come.
When the unprecedented frost attacked the citrus trees of this state last winter, apparently ruining many of them as well as seemingly destroying the season's crop, it was predicted that the higher prices to be expected as a result of the shortage of the crop would overcome to a great extent the loss in the yield. The fact that 80 per cent of the normal receipts were realized this year for the crop that was only half as great as usual fulfills this prediction, it is pointed out.
The great loss in trees and fruit this year as a result of the weather was borne largely by the growers who had no means of fighting the frost, while those who operated fire pots escaped with but small loss of fruit and trees, and later were rewarded by the advance in prices. Many protected their trees and even the tender buds and blossoms against the severest frost of the winter by the use of smudge pots. So successful were those who made energetic efforts to fight the frost, that it is generally believed that ordinary precautions in this way will offset all danger of frost in this climate.

RIGHTS OF WAY THROUGH FORESTS
Lighthouse Bureau and Forest Service Co-operating in Work
The San Francisco office of the United States Forest Service reports that the Secretary of Agriculture has granted the following rights of way to the city of Los Angeles for power transmission lines and telephone lines across national forest lands:
On June 21, for an electric power transmission line 16.64 miles in length on public lands within the Kern national forest; on June 26, for a telephone line 68 miles in length on public lands within the Kern national forest; and on June 21 for a telephone line on public lands within the Santa Barbara national forest. Each permit is for a period of 50 years, and all these lines will be used by the city of Los Angeles in connection with the city's aqueduct system.
The federal lighthouse bureau and the forest service are co-operating in forest work. Though this sounds strange, it becomes a very simple fact, no means of fighting the frost, while those who operated fire pots escaped with but small loss of fruit and trees, and later were rewarded by the advance in prices. Many protected their trees and even the tender buds and blossoms against the severest frost of the winter by the use of smudge pots. So successful were those who made energetic efforts to fight the frost, that it is generally believed that ordinary precautions in this way will offset all danger of frost in this climate.
"The experience of growers last winter with smudge pots," explained Mr. Powell in discussing the citrus situation, "has proved that with the smudges crops can be saved even when the temperature falls far below the freezing point."
Mr. Powell believes that the citrus industry of the state will be given material aid by the experimental station that the legislature authorized for Southern California. The state has appropriated $60,000 for the purchase of lands for the station, $125,000 for buildings and $150,000 to pay for the cost of maintaining the station for two years.
"The proposed experimental station will probably prove to be the most important factor in the upbuilding of the citrus industry in this state," declared Mr. Powell. "It will have a tendency to improve the fruit produced here and to educate the growers in the best methods for protecting their crops from unusual weather conditions and from various pests. The improvement of the fruit will mean better prices and a more extended market for local product."
