STANDARD COLOR SCHEME NOW ADOPTED FOREST STATIONS TO HAVE A DISTINCTIVE SHADE OF PAINT IN FUTURE KANSAS FARMERS MAKING MONEY BY CUTTING AND MARKETING THE SOAP WEED In the future it is going to be possible to identify a national forest station in California and western Nevada not only by the United States flag flying above it but also by the distinctive colors of the station buildings, and the thousands of tourists and others visiting the mountains will soon become accustomed to recognizing forest service improvements by the colors they are painted. This plan may be of value to travelers, as forest officers are always glad to assist them in locating trails, camping places, etc. The following standard colors have been adopted for this district: roofs, dark green; outside walls, red oxide; outside trim, metallic brown. These colors will be used on all station houses, barns and other out-buildings, fire lookouts, tool caches and telephone boxes, as funds will permit. Considerable choice is given for interior decoration, except in the case of fire lookouts. As a rule, fire lookouts are located on exposed peaks where sunlight is reflected from bare rocks and snow. To lessen the strain upon the eyes of the lookout-man, the interior of his station will be painted olive-drab. Settlers in western Kansas are cutting and marketing soap weed, or Span- Considerable choice is given for interior decoration, except in the case of fire lookouts. As a rule, fire lookouts are located on exposed peaks where sunlight is reflected from bare rocks and snow. To lessen the strain upon the eyes of the lookout-man, the interior of his station will be painted olive-drab. Settlers in western Kansas are cutting and marketing soap weed, or Spanish bayonet, to supply the demands of soap manufacturers, according to a report recently received from officers of the Kansas national forest. There are various plants in the southwest locally known as soap weed, called amole by the Mexicans, but the one gathered by the Kansas farmers and technically known as Yucca bacata, a species with exceptionally large fruits, is the most used. The soap manufacturers, however, utilize the tops or the roots. Manufacturers are paying $8 a ton for the plant at the railway stations, while the estimated cost of cutting, drying, baling and hauling it ranges from $5 to $6, depending upon the distance to the railroad. Since a man can ordinarily get out a ton a day, the gathering of the soap weed affords an opportunity to secure a fair day's wages at a time when other ranch activities are not pressing. After cutting, the soap weed is allowed to dry from 60 to 90 days and then is baled up in the ordinary broom-corn baling machine. For a long time this weed has been made into a soapy decoction which the Indian and Mexican women have used, particularly for washing their hair for which purpose it is considered especially suited since it contains no alkali. Present-day soap manufacturers use it for toilet and wool soaps. Its qualities have been known for a long time, but the harvesting of soap weed is just now becoming commercially important. The industry is now operating on lands adjacent to the Kansas national forest, and it is expected that the demand will soon spread to that forest some portions of which bear an abundant supply of the plant. There is a plentiful supply of it throughout southern Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas. Forest officers have considered this weed a nuisance, since it is the nature of the plant to spread over extensive areas and kill off other vegetation. It is particularly a pest on stock ranges. In line with its policy of range improvement, the government is anxious to rid the forage areas of all such injurious plants, and it is the hope of the forest officers that the commercial demand for soap weed will soon reach such proportions that it will not only take an otherwise useless product but also will eradicate it from areas which could be utilized to better advantage for the supplying of forage to cattle and sheep. OIL MEN PROTEST An appeal for more liberal treatment of the independent oil producers was made by a California delegation before the House Public Lands Com- Ranges Fenced Off Into Farms, the Price of Corn and Other Feed Cause of Raise A warning has been sent out by the Department of Agriculture that meat prices are going to be higher, if we depend upon our own supply. It says the ranges are being cut up and fenced off for farms, and the increase in the price of corn and other feed has made cattle feeding a risky business even at present high prices. As proof of its lugubrious prophecy it says that in 1907 there were 51,566,000 beef cattle in the United States while at the beginning of the present year there were but 36,030,000. This is a reduction of 15,536,000, or 30 per cent. In only five years we have sold and slaughtered almost one-third of our herds, besides the natural increase during that period. For further proof that the meat supply has thus been rendered short, attention is called to the fact that, during the first three months of this year, compared with the same period last year, there were slaughtered at government inspected places 2,085,173 elss animals, being 158,289 cattle, 59,475 calves, 1,263,667 hogs and 603,742 sheep. There has been this much less meat on the markets—the amount shipped abroad not being reckoned—than there was a year ago. Last year there was an excess of marketing of naimals, owing to high prices both of stock and feed. The worst of this rushing of stock to market last year was that breeding animals were sacrificed and lambs and calves as well, thus insuring a falling off both in births and future beef and helping to make the shortage permanent. The only remedy for this meat shortage, aside from importations from Australia and Argentina, is an increase of stock farming on the small farms of the great interior region, particularly the corn belt. Farm experts everywhere are advising the farmers to go into stock raising, and the particular inducement held out to them is the wonderful feeding value and fertility restoring properties of alfalfa. Rotation of crops, with alfalfa as the central one and soil restorer, feeding the products of the farm to stock, is the burden of the advice given from every agricultural experiment station, by special farm advisers sent out to educate the farmers and by all agricultural papers. Alfalfa makes old soils new again, increases marvelously all crops that succeed it, and the feeding of animals helps to retain the plant food elements on the farm and restore them to the soil. Stock raising and alfalfa growing are given as the key to profit in farming, and should this advice be taken in anything like the proportion hoped for, the meat supply of the country will be assured. IMPROVEMENTS IN SCHOOL DISTRICTS No less than nine school districts of this county are preparing to erect new school buildings in time for the opening of the fall term next September, and fully $175,000 will be spent in those districts for school houses alone. Tustin and Orange with $50,000 each head of list of districts that are going to spend bond money to get better ed panies, and therefore they will dispense shippers are put to use in safety, as the same property is used practically only of articles.

OIL MEN PROTEST An appeal for more liberal treatment of the independent oil producers was made by a California delegation before the House Public Lands Committee, which has under consideration the administration bill to authorize the leasing of mineral rights on the public domain. W. H. Ochsner of San Francisco, R. H. Hazeltine of Coalinga and other members of the delegation told the committee that the measure would be too restrictive of private enterprise. They contended that the limitation to 640 acres a claim to be worked by any prospector within 50 miles of producing oil fields was too drastic, and urged that the limit be 2,560 acres outside of a ten-mile radius from a producing well. Mr. Ochsner said he was spending $200,000 in sinking an experimental well 4,850 feet deep in the California oil fields. He objected to the proposed limit of 160 acres to be patented by a successful prospector, asserting that when the government disposed of the remainder of the proven ground around the 160 acres, the patentee probably would have to lease to a big corporation which might freeze him out. WILL ENFORCE THE NEW LAW That the new state act requiring all commodities intended as food for human beings to be sold by weight and not by haphazard methods as at present will be a material factor in lessening the present high cost of living, is the opinion of County Sealer George McPhee, who for the last few weeks has been "wiseing-up" the grocerymen all over the county as to the requirements of the new law which goes into effect April 1. The law in question is known as the "net container act," and provides that any commodities intended as food for human beings may not be sold, offered or exposed for sale in containers without the net weight of such commodity IMPROVEMENTS IN SCHOOL DISTRICTS No less than nine school districts of this county are preparing to erect new school buildings in time for the opening of the fall term next September, and fully $175,000 will be spent in those districts for school houses alone. Tustin and Orange with $50,000 each head the list of districts that are going to spend bond money to get better educational facilities. Then come Anaheim and Westminister with $15,000 each. Anaheim is already advertising its bonds and with the money it will build a four-room addition to one of its primary schools. County Superintendent of Schools Mitchell is going to Westminster this week in connection with that district's plan to vote $15,000 for a brand new school house. El Toro spoke up good and strong yesterday when a vote of 43 to 0 was cast in favor of $8,000 bonds for building a new structure in which the young ideas may learn to shoot. It was a splendid showing for El Toro, and speaks a good deal for the enterprise of its people—that vote of 43 to 0. Not a single person showed up to vote against the proposal. El Toro is going to sell the old wooden building that has done service for a quarter of a century, and the trustees plan to put up a neat concrete building. Delhi is going to hold an election on April 18 upon $12,000 bonds, and it is predicted that Delhi is going to make as enterprising a showing as did El Toro. Delhi has outgrown its old worn-out school house and wants a modern four-room structure to take its place. There has been some talk of changing the site. Orange is to build a new grammar school. Along with the rest of the county, Orange has grown rapidly, and though it has fine school facilities, it needs another big building to house its scholars. Tustin had to wait quite awhile before its bonds were sold, but now that its troubles are over so far as the disposal of the $50,000 bonds are concerned it will not be long before work of construction will commence and the new home will be ready for occupancy in September. PARCEL POST IS AN IMMENSE BENEFIT PRESIDENT OF NEW YORK MERCHANTS' ASSOCIATION TALKS OF NEEDS OF BUSINESS EXPRESS COMPANY GIVE TRANSPORTATION FOR PERISHABLE PRODUCTS New York, March 28.—In a statement on advantages and disadvantages of the parcel post and the express company service in their relation to the needs of the shipper and the merchant, William A. Marble, president of the Merchants' association of New York, has made public statistics that are proving highly interesting to tradesmen. "The limitations of the parcel post are as follows: "It does not provide a pick-up service, or, in other words, does not make collections of articles for shipment, such as is made by the express companies, and therefore the merchants and shippers are put to an extra expense, which in many cases is a heavy one, of paying the drayage or transportation to the shipment station. In does not adequately provide for safety, as the same process of shipment is used practically for all forms of articles. "It does not provide adequate indemnity for loss.

HIGH MOUNTAINS There are probably six named peaks in Montana which have elevations exceeding 12,000 feet and several unnamed peaks with altitudes greater than that height, according to the United States Geological Survey. These peaks are all in Carbon county, in the southern portion of the state, and are included in the Beartooth National Forest. The highest of these is Granite Peak, with an altitude of 12,850 feet. The next highest are Mt. Wood, 12,750 feet; Cold Mountain, 12,610 feet; Mt. Villa, 12,200 feet; Mt. Hague, 12,100 feet; and Snobank Mountain, 12,000 feet. Wyoming has nine mountains exceeding 13,000 feet in height and of these three closely approach the 14,000 foot mark, according to the United States Geological Survey. They are Gannett Peak, 13,785 feet; Grand Teon, 13,747 feet; and Fremont Peak, 13,730 feet. Cloud Peak, one of the most beautiful mountains in the state, is 13,165 feet above sea level. Besides these mountains, Wyoming has 31 other named peaks upwards of 12,000 feet in height and some 40 unnamed mountains which exceed that altitude. An interesting story might be written of the thousands of lofty unnamed mountain peaks of the west which are nearly double the height of the very highest mountains in the entire Appalachian mountain system in the eastern portion of the country. Colorado alone has dozens of mountains without name which are more than double the height of our most lofty eastern mountain. According to an estimate by Sir John Murray, the total annual rainfall upon all the land of the globe amounts to 29,347.4 cubic miles, and of this quantity 6,524 cubic miles drains off through rivers to the sea. A cubic mile of river water weighs approximately 4,205,650,000 tons, and carries in solution, on the average, about 420,000 tons of foreign matter. In all, about 2,735,000,000 tons of solid substances are thus carried annually to the ocean.

The operations of the express companies are in the main restricted to the lines of the railways. So long as the express companies were the only vehicles of parcel service, all rural sections of the United States, all the population not living in or adjacent to railroad towns, were without any organized or effective means for cheap and speedy transmission of parcels. Wherever there is need for postal service there is likewise need for parcel service. Room For Both "There are numerous services now performed by the express companies which the parcel post does not undertake. It does not effectively provide for many commodities for which quick and especially organized transportation is required to meet business demands. "Perishable fruits, meats, milk, butter, poultry and many food products require not only perfectly organized machinery for quick and absolutely regular movement, but some of them also require refrigeration service. This involves special trains and train schedules, icehouses en route, exact coordination of movement, and various special facilities entirely different from those suitable for ordinary fast traffic. "When I contend that the parcel post should not be so extended as to invade the legitimate field of express operations, I believe I voice the sentiments of the great majority of business men who have given the subject intelligent study." It took a jury but a few minutes to find Alexander Allec guilty as charged. Allec was accused of keeping a disorderly house and the evidence put in by Deputy District Attorney Koepsel and City Marshal Jernigan was convincing. Justice Cox gave Allec the limit jail sentence, six months in the county jail, and ordered him to pay a fine of $200.

ECHOES FROM ORANGE Orange Happenings Always Interest Our Readers After reading of so many people in our town who have been cured by Doan's Kidney Pills, the question naturally arises: "Is this medicine equally successful in our neighboring towns?" The generous statement of this Orange resident leaves no room for doubt on this point. Mrs. H. Schroeder, 435 S. Orange St., Orange, Cal., says: "I was so bad with kidney complaint that I didn't expect much relief. I had pains all over my body. The action of my kidneys was too frequent. I had severe headaches and felt miserable. I decided to give Doan's Kidney Pills a trial and got a box. I improved after taking the first dose. I got stronger every day and the pains soon stopped. Since then, I have always kept Doan's Kidney Pills on hand. Some years ago I publicly recommended them, and I am pleased to confirm what I said at that time." For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.
