FOREST BUSINESS BREAKS THE RECORD ALL PREVIOUS YEARS SURPASSED IN NUMBER OF SALES RECORDED SALES MADE BY NATIONAL FOREST SERVICE AGGREGATE $4,000,000 IN 1913 The national forest business done during the fiscal year which ended June 30 surpassed all previous records. The receipts from the forests approached $2,500,000, of which about one-half was for timber, while contracts entered into for the sale of timber to be cut either at once or in later years totaled about $4,000,000. These sale contracts permit the cutting period to extend over a number of years when large bodies of timber are involved. Under existing laws 35 per cent of the gross receipts, or between $800,000 and $900,000, will go to the benefit of the states in which the forests are situated, for schools and roads. The records show that the volume of sales contracted for in different years fluctuates widely, with ups and downs according to general business conditions, while the actual cut has shown a fairly steady tendency to advance. In the fiscal year 1906 (July 1, 1905, to June 30, 1906), the first full year after the forest service was put in charge of the forests, the timber receipts were about $250,000, in the fiscal year 1907 something less than $700,000.

GLACIERS ALASKA COAST SOME ARE RETRIEVER MANY ARE GROWING LAND THE "SEE AMERICAN GRAM IN THE FAIR FERS SPLENDEN" It is very probable that travelers are familiar with tidesque fiords and gnawavia than have viewed their own Alaska, where inlets are bounded by slow-moving snow-ice in some bay or inlet densely into the ocean if visitors to this spicery is annually in bers, and to those in "See America First." Offers a magnificent fit. Alaska glaciers were known as the result of Admiral Vancouvall in 1778 and 1749, some the early voyagers saintain of the bays or fringed by vertical walls of blocks fell into the seas years discussions of their have been given Dall, Gilbert, Tarr, Bridenhall, Martin and o The records show that the volume of sales contracted for in different years fluctuates widely, with ups and downs according to general business conditions, while the actual cut has shown a fairly steady tendency to advance. In the fiscal year 1906 (July 1, 1905, to June 30, 1906), the first full year after the forest service was put in charge of the forests, the timber receipts were about $250,000, in the fiscal year 1907 something less than $700,000, and in 1908 about $850,000. In 1909 timber receipts dropped back to less than $750,000, but in 1910 and again in 1911 were over $1,000,000, and in 1912 were nearly $1,100,000, as against about $1,250,000 for the year just closed. Forestry officials say that the principal factor in determining how much timber will be sold in any given year is the general lumber market, which in turn depends largely on general business conditions. Thus, when indications are that a period of brisk demand is ahead, with increased building activity, railroad construction, mining development, and other forms of business expansion that call for lumber or timber, operators are seeking contracts. When business halts lumbermen naturally go slowly in the matter of committing themselves by new purchases on a large scale. But cutting under earlier purchases and small sales continues even in periods of depression. The gradual diminution of outside sources of supply and the steady development of the country, which create increased local demand, tend to offset the effects of such periods. As an illustration of this the figures for 1907 and the immediately following years are cited. In the fiscal year 1907 the forest service sold more timber than has been sold in any later year prior to that just closed. Contracts were made covering over a billion feet, board measure. But in the fall of 1907 came business panic, followed by inactivity. Sales in 1908 disposed of less than 400 million feet, and in 1909 of less than 300 million. In both these years more timber was cut under sales than was disposed of through new sales. The difference was the result of cutting under the contracts of earlier years. Last year's sales of over $4,000,000 worth of timber does not necessarily mean a prospective income from timber of this large amount in the immediate future. To bring this about there would have to be a series of big sale years. The present year may or may not see sales equal to those of the last. PUBLIC WELFARE EXPOSITION AT VENICE STATE BOARD OF HEALTH AND LEAGUE OF MUNICIPALITIES TO HOLD JOINT MEETING A PURE FOOD SHOW UNDER DIRECTION OF PROF. JAFFA, ONE OF THE FEATURES The Public Welfare Exposition which will be held next October in Venice, Cal., in connection with the annual meeting of the League of California Municipalities and the State County and Municipal Health Officers, promises to be the largest affair of its kind ever held in the state, if not in the whole country. One of the principal features of the exposition will be the Pure Food Show, which will be conducted under the auspices of the State Board of Health and the direct supervision of Prof. M. E. Jaffa, director of the State Food and Drug Laboratory. Professor Jaffa has prepared a set of rules and regulations which all exhibitors will have to comply with, and no product will be allowed which does not comply also with all the provisions of the federal and state pure food laws. Heads of families owe it to themselves and their children to know what kind of food it being served at their table.

The difference was the result of cutting under the contracts of earlier years. Last year's sales of over $4,000,000 worth of timber does not necessarily mean a prospective income from timber of this large amount in the immediate future. To bring this about there would have to be a series of big sale years. The present year may or may not see sales equal to those of the last. While general market conditions are at present less favorable to large commitments than they were six months ago, the aggressive sales policy now in force, with its opportunities for long-term purchases on fair terms where sales are possible in no other way, will probably counterbalance to a greater or less degree influences that may tend to check sales. The need of the country for national forest timber is growing and every year brings normally more of this timber within the radius of effective demand. The yearly cut and the income from the forests can reasonably be expected to rise in the future as it has been rising, however the number of sales contracts may fluctuate. CITIZENSHIP MATTERS Emil Edward Ferdinand Heinze, a carpenter of Anaheim, has decided that he wants to become a subject of the Stars and Stripes, and today he took out his first papers. He was born in Canada in 1875 and came to the United States in 1906. John Joseph Allec, a Placentia rancher, expects to become a citizen next November. Today he filed his final petition for naturalization. He was born in France in 1871 and came to America in 1888. Heads of families owe it to themselves and their children to know what kind of food it being served at their table. Many are not aware, perhaps, that lots of stuff sold as food is composed of filthy, putrid and decomposed animal matter to which strong chemicals have been added to arrest further decay and disguise the taste. Many of these chemicals are poisons, all of which the federal government has found to be injurious to the human stomach. Practically all the large manufacturers and dealers in honest goods—that is, those who comply with the strict provisions of the federal and state laws—have agreed to participate, thereby justifying the assumption that the purity of any food product not shown at this exposition is open to question. Those who are planning on a vacation this fall will certainly make no mistake by making a visit to Venice and taking in this exposition. They should go and learn what goods are safe to buy. The manufacturers of impure goods and impure foods and durgs are criminals in every sense of the word, and the only way to put them out of business is to educate and arouse public sentiment. The exposition opens October 5th and closes October 12th. There will be reduced rates on all trains. Tommy—Pop, what is a diplomat?

GLACIERS OF THE ALASKAN COAST SOME ARE RETREATING, BUT MANY ARE GRADUALLY GROWING LARGER THE "SEE AMERICA FIRST" PROGRAM IN THE FAR NORTH OF FERS SPLENDID FIELD It is very probable that more American travelers are familiar with the picturesque fiords and glaciers of Scandinavia than have viewed the incomparable scenery afforded by the coast of their own Alaska, where the somber inlets are bounded by sheer and towering cliffs and where the great fields of slow-moving snow-ice lose themselves in some bay or inlet or pitch off suddenly into the ocean itself. The stream of visitors to this splendid American scenery is annually increasing in numbers, and to those who indorse the "See America First" program Alaska offers a magnificent field. Alaska glaciers were probably first known as the result of Captain Cook's and Admiral Vancouver's explorations in 1778 and 1749, some of the maps of the early voyagers showing that certain of the bays or fiords were ended by vertical walls of ice, from which blocks fell into the sea. In more recent years discussions of these huge glaciers have been given in the reports of Dall, Gilbert, Tarr, Brooks, Grant, Mendenhall, Martin and others, of the United States Geological Survey. Comparative Digestibility of Food Made with different Baking Powders From a Series of Elaborate Chemical Tests: An equal quantity of bread (biscuit) was made with each of three different kinds of baking powder—cream of tartar, phosphate, and alum—and submitted separately to the action of the digestive fluid, each for the same length of time. The relative percentage of the food digested is shown as follows: Bread made with Royal Cream of Tartar Powder: 100 Per Cent. Digested Bread made with phosphate powder: 68¼ Per Cent. Digested Bread made with alum powder: 67¾ Per Cent. Digested These tests, which are absolutely reliable and unprejudiced, make plain a fact of great importance to everyone: Food raised with Royal, a cream of tartar Baking Powder, is shown to be entirely digestible, while the alum and phosphate powders are found Alaska glaciers were probably first known as the result of Captain Cook's and Admiral Vancouver's explorations in 1778 and 1749, some of the maps of the early voyagers showing that certain of the bays or fiords were ended by vertical walls of ice, from which blocks fell into the sea. In more recent years discussions of these huge glaciers have been given in the reports of Dall, Gilbert, Tarr, Brooks, Grant, Mendenhall, Martin and others, of the United States Geological Survey, and in the publications of such organizations as the National Geographic Society and the Harriman Alaska expedition. The most recent contribution on the great glaciers of Alaska is a bulletin on "Coastal Glaciers of Prince William Sound and Kenai Peninsula, Alaska," by U. S. Grant and D. F. Higgins. The report is profusely illustrated with photographs and with maps of the individual glaciers, as well as two comprehensive maps of Prince William Sound and the southwestern part of Kenai Peninsula, showing the location of scores of glaciers. The report is in fact a guide and handbook to this wonderful scenic region which must prove invaluable to the tourist. Many valuable data and important measurements of glaciers in the United States, Alaska, and elsewhere have been brought together from time to time, and it is probably the general impression that since the vast ice sheet which covered the northern part of North America began its retreat the glaciers of the continent have been continually shrinking. It is therefore interesting to note from the illustrations and descriptions in this bulletin that some of these Alaskan glaciers are progressing and growing larger rather than retrogressing, many huge forests being upturned and devastated by the irresistible advance of the ice. In other glaciers the retreat within a period of 10 years has been more than a mile. The great magnitude of some of these glaciers is seen in the descriptions, which indicate the height of the tidal ice cliffs that form the termini of the glaciers as being from 300 to 400 feet. Slowly moving down the mountain valleys, some of them steeply pitched and others relatively flat, these stupendous ice fields include billions of tons of ice. Many young Americans can find here memorials of their alma mater, for along College Fiord are Yale Glacier, Harvard Glacier, and Vassar and Wellesley Glaciers. PEEPING TOM MEETS MINERAL PRODUCTION State Mineralogist Hamilton Makes His Annual Report The mineral industry in California falls naturally into five general divisions: Fuels, metals, structural materials, industrial materials and salines. The value of the industrial materials produced is a small proportion of the total mineral output of the state, nevertheless these substances are attracting more attention every day and show a steady growth from year to year. The following minerals comprise the list, according to a bulletin just received from State Mineralogist Hamilton: Asbestos, used in making fireproof fabrics, etc., found widely distributed. Barytes, used in the paint and tanning industries, found principally in Mariposa and San Bernardino counties. Clay and feldspar, used in pottery and porcelain manufacture, etc., produced in many localities. Fullers earth, whose value depends upon its filtering and absorbent properties, the output coming from Kern and neighboring counties. Gems, a great variety of which are mined in San Diego, Tulare, Los Angeles and Siskiyou counties. Gypsum, used as plaster, etc., is widely distributed in the desert regions of the state. Infusorial earth, used as an abrasive and in many other ways, comes largely from Monterey and Santa Barbara. Limestone occurs in practically every county of the state. Manganese, used in the steel and paint industries production nominal to date. Mineral paint, numerous deposits only partially developed. Mineral water, one of California's best known products although the exploitation of the mineral springs of the state is even yet in its infancy. Pumice, occurs commonly in the southeast part of the state and has well known domestic FIGHTING TO SAVE $150,000,000 INDUSTRY CALIFORNIA GRAPE PIONEER OFF TO BATTLE FOR WINE GROWERS AT CAPITAL ADOPTION OF POMERENE AMENDMENT MEANS DESTRUCTION TO STATE VINEYARDS M. F. Tarpey of Fresno, pioneer viticulturist and well-known Democrat, left this week for Washington to battle for the life of the $150,000,000 California viticulturalists' industry. His will be a double fight—a war upon the proposed removal of tariff from Zante currant, a wine grape, and a fight against Senator Pomerene's bill to raise the tax on brandy used to fortify California sweet wines, from 5 cents to $1.10 per gallon. “If the tariff is taken off the Zante currant,” said Mr. Tarpey, “our foreign competitors will send large shipments here, paralyze the markets, destroy the industry here and then put the price up. It would be destructive. “As to the Pomerene amendment; if it passes, the tax it imposes will increase the price of wine, turn the markets over to the importers and the quality of the wine will be impaired. The government will not receive the revenue from the California vineyardists because the vineyardists will be put out of business. Last year I paid a $7,000 tax to the government PEEPING TOM MEETS SUMMARY JUSTICE Given a Floater With 90-Day Jail Sentence as Alternative A "Peeping Tom," who has on two or three occasions annoyed certain residents of Anaheim, ran afoul of the stern hand of justice Thursday. His name is J. M. Sparks, and he was arrested on a warrant sworn out by Tom Ingram. The man was arrested the first of the week for peering into Ingram's windows at a late hour of the night, but Judge Howard let him off with a promise that he would apologize to the outraged residents of the house. This he failed to do, fearing, no doubt, that an apology would not be very graciously accepted. On Thursday morning Officer Bud Sackett placed him under arrest the second time and once more arraigned before the court. Judge Howard gave him a 90-day sentence in the county jail or an alternative penalty of leaving town. He was granted until Tuesday to arrange his business affairs and leave. Sparks has been working at the sugar factory, having a contract for work on the sewer bed farm. He is said to be a married man.

"As to the Pomerene amendment; if it passes, the tax it imposes will increase the price of wine, turn the markets over to the importers and the quality of the wine will be impaired. The government will not receive the revenue from the California vineyardists because the vineyardists will be put out of business. Last year I paid a $7,000 tax to the government on the present tax basis. The Pomerene bill would compel me to pay the government $260,000. I could not pay it. Neither could the others. It would ruin the great California industry." Here, briefly, are facts and figures Mr. Tarpey will place before the members of Congress: Capital invested in California vineyards, $150,000,000; number of persons engaged in industry, nearly 20,000; number employed in it, 100,000; sweet wines are now fortified with brandy drawn from the wine grapes and is taxed 5 cents per gallon; the Pomerene bill would increase this to $1.10 per gallon and cause fortification to be effected from spirits from peelings, turnips and other matter; impairing the wine's quality. The government until now has fostered, encouraged the vineyard industry in California. As to the Zante industry, Mr. Tarpey will show it costs 20 cents per day for labor in the vineyards abroad; in California it costs more than $2 per day for labor. The present tariff, Mr. Tarpey declares, is the only means of protecting the California grower from ruin. FOR SALE—6-room bungalow, strictly modern, hardwood floors, etc. R. J.
