HIGHWAY WILL BE PROTECTED BY COMMISSION FIRST ARREST FOR VIOLATION OF LAWS GOVERNING ROAD MADE NEAR FRESNO TRACTION ENGINES AND HEAVY VEHICLES WITH CLEATED TIRE WARNED TO KEEP OFF The first arrest for inflicting willful damage on the new state highway has been made in Fresno, and the case is now pending in the courts of that county. Clarence Boling of Fresno was arrested while driving a combined harvester along the state highway south of Herndon. He was requested to drive along the side of the highway and off the pavement by Division Engineer Woodson and refused. The large cleats on the harvester wheels inflicted considerable damage, and a complaint was sworn to by the division engineer. Harvesters, well drilling and other heavy traction rigs with cleated or rough studded tires have also been driven on the state highway in Madera and Santa Clara counties, and near Los Angeles a disc harrow, or some other implement with a sharp edge, was driven on the pavement. This question is being taken up by the highway commission throughout the state, and owners of traction engines are asked to use care in helping to protect the paved sections of the state highway. The attorney general has given the opinion that the state has full power to protect the road and when the damage is wanton or willfully made, it is the intention of the highway commission to ask for a prosecution. It is possible to do more than one thousand dollars' damage to a paved road in twenty minutes' time with engines or other implements or vehicles not intended for use on road pavements. It is not the intention of the commission to interfere with heavy traffic which does not injure the highway. PLUMBERS PROFITS ARE NOT SO LARGE At Least One of Them Found It So In Recent Pipe Transaction Speaking of large profits which plumbers are usually credited with making, a man engaged in that business in this city gives the following illustration of how he is rapidly rolling up a large bank account. Here are a few entries from his ledger which illustrate that he is fast getting into the millionaire class: February 1, bought 6 ft. 2 in. pipe at 12c; cost 72c. Sold same at 15c, making gross receipts of 90c. Profit on deal 18c. March 1, to mailing monthly statement, 3c, leaving a net balance of 15c. April 1, to calling on customer and finding him out, 25c. In the hole 10c. May 1, to making another call, and again finding him missing, 25c. In red ink, 35c. June 1, making third call, still finding him out, 25c; total loss on account, 60c. This is going some. THIMBLE CLUB ENTERTAINED The East Side Thimble Club met and were delightfully entertained at the home of Miss Gussie Bruns on Wednesday afternoon. All members were present, including two guests, Mrs. Williams and Mrs. Hunger. The cozy home was prettily decorated, the motif being pink and green. The afternoon was pleasantly spent over needle work. The day falling on the hostess' birthday, the ladies remembered her with a shower of doiles. In the course of the afternoon dedicious refreshments were served. At the close of the meeting the ladies voted it one of the most enjoyable times they have had. The club will meet next month with Mrs. C. Paulus on Olive road. FOREST NOTES The annual capacity of the forest nurseries of the government is about 25 million young trees. Cornell University recently dedicated a forestry building in connection with the state college of agriculture. It is said that the best times of day to see forest fires from lookout stations are just after daylight and just before sunset. The forest service has been requested to co-operate with the port authorities of Coos Bay, Oregon, in planting... SANTA ANA SCHOOLS FACE DEFICIENCY Special Tax Urged to Raise Money to Pay Salaries of Teachers Trustees of the Santa Ana school district have asked that a special tax be voted in that district to meet deficiencies accruing because of lack of money in the district treasury. That the teachers' salaries for July and August will be paid immediately upon the presentation of warrants has been determined through a ruling received by County Superintendent of Schools R. P. Mitchell from District Attorney West and from State Superintendent Hyatt. For a time it looked as though the July and August salaries would have to be put in the same category with the May and June salaries, but with the decision that the July and August salaries can be paid out of the funds of the 1914-1915 fiscal year, that much of a load is lifted. Under the district attorney's opinion, which bears out the position taken by Mitchell, the grammar school salaries cannot be paid until after eight months of school have been held in the next fiscal year, the funds for this fiscal year being exhausted. The high school salaries are in a good deal better fix since under the ruling they may be paid out of the state high school fund. That fund will amount to FOREST NOTES The annual capacity of the forest nurseries of the government is about 25 million young trees. Cornell University recently dedicated a forestry building in connection with the state college of agriculture. It is said that the best times of day to see forest fires from lookout stations are just after daylight and just before sunset. The forest service has been requested to co-operate with the port authorities of Coos Bay, Oregon, in planting to control shifting sand dunes. Jack pine trees planted ten years ago in the sand hills of Nebraska are now large enough to produce fence posts. Last year the first seed was gathered from this plantation. The agricultural experiment station at Pullman, Washington, is establishing an arboretum in which it is proposed to grow a group of each of the important timber trees of the temperate zone. DOUBLES PIGS' WEIGHT BY SKILL IN FEEDING SOWS Pigs twice as heavy as most pigs are at birth are being farrowed at the University Farm of California, at Davis. High condition of the sow is the chief cause. The feeding of a properly balanced ration brings about this high condition. The farm is careful that it shall be accompanied by sufficient exercise. That the results are desirable and highly profitable has now been established. The old notion has been disproved that high condition lessens the sow's prolificacy. These investigations are valuable to the stock-growers of California as overthrowing the mistaken idea that high condition is necessarily injurious to breeding animals. Carefully kept records of pigs farrowed at the University Farm show a total of 222 live pigs farrowed from 24 sows. Of these 24, 14 have their first litters. The birth weight is just as remarkable as the number, for they weigh as much as four and two-tenths pounds at birth and are exceptionally vigorous. So far the average birth weight has been approximately 3.2 pounds, yet anything over 2.2 pounds is considered heavy. That these sows in high condition are heavy milkers, thus inducing rapid and economical gains on the young pigs, is attested by the weight of the last litter weaned. These pigs were 61 days old on the day they were weaned and averaged 55 pounds in weight. These results are still more remarkable because they represent the average production of six different breeds, at least one of which has been criticized for being very unprolific. No feeds other than those produced on the university farm are used except wheat shorts or middlings. Alfalfa pasture is utilized whenever available, except in the fall, after it has been frosted. The pigs are weighed at birth and the sows as soon afterwards as possible and both are weighed each week thereafter until the pigs are weaned. All of the grain and milk associated with him will be published for free distribution and any California citizen who desires a copy may obtain one by writing to George B. Harrison, editor Highway Bulletin, Kitalo building, San Francisco, Cal. The first celebrations in honor of state highway progress will be held at Eureka and Gilroy this month. The Eureka celebration will be June 11, under the auspices of the Humboldt promotion committee, and will signalize the progress of the work on the state highway in Humboldt county. les would have to be put in the same category with the May and June salaries, but with the decision that the July and August salaries can be paid out of the funds of the 1914-1915 fiscal year, that much of a load is lifted. Under the district attorney's opinion, which bears out the position taken by Mitchell, the grammar school salaries cannot be paid until after eight months of school have been held in the next fiscal year, the funds for this fiscal year being exhausted. The high school salaries are in a good deal better fix since under the ruling they may be paid out of the state high school fund. That fund will amount to about $7,500 this year, about half of it being available in September. That means that whatever else is done, high school salaries to the extent of that half can be paid in September. Superintendent Mitchell, however, has been of the opinion that he would be safe in paying high school warrants after July 1, provided the school board secures a high school tax rate sufficient to cover all school expenses for the current fiscal year (1914-15) and to cover outstanding indebtedness and provided he has assurances that the school board will set aside the money for the debt. That assurance, of course, will be readily given. As the matter now stands the May and June grammar school warrants cannot be paid until the special tax is voted. If the people refuse to vote the tax, those warrants will have to be held until after the grammar schools have been conducted next year for eight months. The May and June high school warrants cannot be paid until the tax levy is secured, which will not be possible until the last of August, or until the September state high school money is available. The school board will have its regular meeting on June 13, and at that time will call the election. Notice must be published for three weeks, so that the election cannot be held until July 7. CRITICIZES EXPENSES One of the duties of the grand jury is to investigate the various county offices and departments of government. The grand jury this year has given special attention to the inferior courts of the county and criticizes especially the way in which the expense of court reporting runs up. The court reporting last year in these courts alone cost the county $35,467.92, much of this an unnecessary and extravagant expense. The grand jury suggests that only cases of homicide in these courts be reported; that felony cases be consolidated in one department and the four departments alternate in handling of same. These suggestions will mean a saving of $1,000 per month in these courts. UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Valuable Courses Bering Persued by Ambitious Students Besides the twenty-five courses in agriculture which are to be given in the summer session at Berkeley from June 22 to August 1, and besides the free correspondence instruction in agriculture, in which 8,000 correspondence students will keep hard at work throughout the summer, the University of California will have also a number of exceedingly practical "field-study" courses in progress during the summer. For the "Soil Technology" summer course, for instance, a party of students from the four-year course in the college of agriculture is to spend six weeks, ending June 24, on a long soil-examining journey. The students began by mapping a portion of the university farm, showing in suitable colors the different soils encountered and preparing a report giving the character of the soil in detail and discussing crop adaptations and methods of handling. Then, until June 14, the soil students are to be at the university's famous 5,400-acre Kearney ranch, near Fresno—property worth nearly a million, bequeathed to the university some years ago by M. Theo. Kearney of Fresno. At Kearney Park they will make soil surveys and study alkali problems, and methods of reclaiming alkali lands. From June 15 to 24 they will go on a soil inspection journey, to observe different soils in the neighborhood of Merced, Stockton, Sacramento, Marysville, Oroville, Chico, Red Bluff, Corning, and Willows. Reports will be prepared covering the characteristics of the soil and the character and conditions of the farming operations. The soil course will be in charge of Professor Charles F. Shaw, who is at the head of the university's great undertaking, to be completed within the next few years, of a soil map of all the agricultural regions of California. Associated with him will be Alfred Smith. Some thirty students are journeying about California for the summer course in pomology. The party will come in contact with all of the leading phases of the industry, visiting representative ranches and typical orchard sections, canneries, nurseries, packing houses, spraying-machine material factories, and other institutions intimately associated with the business of fruit-growing. The trip began with a visit to some of the institutions in the neighborhood of San Francisco bay, to the Santa Clara Valley, the Pajaro Valley and interior sections as far south as Fresno. INHERITANCE TAX BRINGS BIG MONEY State Gains Large Sums From Goodman and Oyharzabal Estates From two estates in this county, the State of California has received $23,-500 in inheritance taxes. That charged up against the sole legatee of Domingo Oyharzabal is $16,-381.36, the largest amount ever collected as inheritance tax in this county. The heirs of Joseph Goodman, the pioneer Fullerton merchant, have paid $7,250.66. Oyharzabal, who was a wealthy stockman of San Juan Capistrano for many years, left all of his property to his brother, Etienne. Appraisers put the value of the property left by him at $258,568.08. Appraisement of the estate of Goodman showed it to be valued at $281,-752.68. Distribution is requested, three-fourths to the widow, Therese Goodman of Santa Ana, and the remaining one-fourth in equal shares to Sol Goodman of New Jersey, Lina Frank of Los Angeles and Bertha Hammel of New York, a brother and two sisters. Collateral inheritance tax as figured out by Appraiser J. N. Anderson for this estate was less than for the Oyharzabal estate, though the Goodman estate was valued at $23;000 more. The reason for the difference is that the rules laid down by statute allow varying reductions, there being less inheritance tax put against a widow than there is against a brother or sister. INTERSWITCHING SUIT Friday, August 7, at 10 o'clock A.M. is the date set by the state railroad commission for the hearing of the case of the Associated Chambers of Commerce of Orange county versus the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company, et al., in the matter of inter-switching. The hearing will be held before Commissioner Edgerton in the council chambers of the Santa Ana city hall. The order to appear at the hearing is signed by Charles R. Detrich, secretary of the state railroad commission. Following are the defendants: The Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company, the Home Telephone and Telegraph Company, the U.S. Long Distance Telephone and Telegraph Company, the Smeltzer Home Telephone and Telegraph Company, the Huntington Beach Company, and Some thirty students are journeying about California for the summer course in pomology. The party will come in contact with all of the leading phases of the industry, visiting representative ranches and typical orchard sections, canneries, nurseries, packing houses, spraying-machine material factories, and other institutions intimately associated with the business of fruit-growing. The trip began with a visit to some of the institutions in the neighborhood of San Francisco bay, to the Santa Clara Valley, the Pajaro Valley and interior sections as far south as Fresno. The first week in June was set aside for attendance at the Fruit Growers' convention at University Farm. The plan provides next for inspection of the marketing organizations and fruit-growing industry around Sacramento. Some time will be given to the foothill region, around Panryn, Loomis, and Newcastle. The class will then proceed north as far as Chico and Tehama, and returning will visit Corning, Willows, and Woodland. The latter part of June harvesting operations and the early fruit industry at Vacaville will receive attention. The course will be concluded in the small fruit and apple industry of Sonoma county, centered around Sebastopol. Some of the students who are specializing in pomology have substituted for this trip thesis work based on their observation throughout the summer on commercial fruit ranches. Assistant Professor Pratt and Mr. Hendrickson are in charge of the trip. The students who are specializing in the citrus fruit industry are half of them doing their summer study by working in orange and lemon orchards in various parts of California, while the others are traveling all over the state, under the leadership of Professor J. Ellot Coit and I. J. Condit. In the course of this journey they will visit the representative citrus orchards in the Sacramento and San Joaquin Valleys and in all the principal orange and lemon growing regions of Southern California. They will travel nearly 1,300 miles. Agricultural college students who are specializing in dairy production and dairy manufactures will send six weeks of the summer at the university farm cremery, where the university maufactures cheese and ice cream and also a very high class butter which is guaranteed under the pure food act as made from efficiently pasteurized cream—a precaution which ought to be followed by every creamery in the country, in order that the public may be safeguarded against the spread of tuberculosis through germs from tubercular cows which are frequently to be found in butter. Creameries will be visited also, and practical work given in the testing of dairy products. Another traveling party is of students who are specializing in agronomy—the production of field crops. This party of a dozen or more students, under the direction of Professor R. L. Adams, will spend most of the period from May 14 to June 25 visiting ranches in the Santa Clara Valley and the surrounding country, in order to learn by observing the good and the bad of methods actually used in typi- Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company, et al., in the matter of inter-switching.

Detrich, secretary of the state railroad commission. Following are the defendants: The Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company, the Home Telephone and Telegraph Company, the U.S. Long Distance Telephone and Telegraph Company, the Smeltzer Home Telephone and Telegraph Company, the Huntington Beach Company, and Joseph Yoch of Santa Ana. The action was brought by the Associated Chambers of Commerce in an endavor to secure free switching between the various telephone companies of the county. If the railroad commission decides favorably for the associated chambers it will be possible for a Home telephone subscriber, for instance, to get connections with other towns in the county having systems other than the Home. This switching will not necessarily be free of charge. SCIENTISTS OF AMERICA TO MEET IN CALIFORNIA The greatest gathering of scientific men ever held on the Pacific Coast is now being planned—a general meeting of the American Association for the advancement of science, at San Francisco, Berkeley, and Stanford, from August 2 to 7, 1915. Dr. W. W. Campbell, director of the Lick Observatory and one of the most distinguished living astronomers, is chairman of the Pacific Coast committee, and A.L. Barrows, of the department of zoology of the University of California, secretary, while the scientific program is being panned by a committee headed by the great geologist, Dr. J.C. Branner, president of Stanford University. Most of the sessions for the presentation of papers in the separate divisions of science will be held at the University of California. The program will for the most part deal with scientific problems of world interest pertaining especially to the Pacific area. There are individual program committees on mathematics and astronomy, physics, chemistry, engineering, geology and geography, zoology, ootany, anthropology and psychology, social and economic science, physiology and experimental medicine, education, and agriculture. A very large number of scientific societies are to hold national conventions in San Francisco during this same week in August, 1915. WEATHER BAD FOR BEANS Continued cold and cloudy weather which has prevailed for the past month has been far from beneficial to the bean growers of the county. Reports from the districts near Garden Grove are especially bad, it having been found necessary for many planters to resort to a third planting. Cut worms have been the principal source of trouble. These worms have been a greater nuisance this season, owing to cold weather, than for five or six years past. Bean growers on the Irvine ranch have had little or no damage. be safeguarded against the spread of tuberculosis through germs from tubercular cows which are frequently to be found in butter. Creameries will be visited also, and practical work given in the testing of dairy products. Another traveling party is of students who are specializing in agronomy—the production of field crops.

Adams, will spend most of the period from May 14 to June 25 visiting ranches in the Santa Clara Valley and the surrounding country, in order to learn by observing the good and the bad of methods actually used in typical California farms. APPOINTED TO ANAHEIM A message has been received from Rev. George Husser, who is attending conference of the German Evangelical church near Sacramento, stating that he has been appointed to the pastorate of the Anaheim Evangelical church. His successor in the Santa Ana church will be Rev. Theo. Schaurer of San Francisco. Rev. Mr. Husser, who has stayed in Santa Ana up to the limit of the pastorate in any one place allowed to ministers of his church, says the Bulletin, will be at home probably next Friday evening and will preach his farewell sermon on Sunday morning. His departure from Santa Ana will be regretted not only by the members of his church and congregation but by all the church people of Santa Ana who have come in contact with this genial and earnest minister. He has worked in harmony with the other ministers of the city, establishing a real fellowship with them as well as a hearty co-operation between his church and the others of the city. It is a matter of congratulation to have Rev. Mr. Husser located so near Santa Ana, as it will be possible to receive visits in a church and social way from both himself and his estimable family. WEATHER BAD FOR BEANS Continued cold and cloudy weather which has prevailed for the past month has been far from beneficial to the bean growers of the county. Reports from the districts near Garden Grove are especially bad, it having been found necessary for many planters to resort to a third planting. Cut worms have been the principal source of trouble. These worms have been a greater nuisance this season, owing to cold weather, than for five or six years past. Bean growers on the Irvine ranch have had little or no cause to complain from cut worms, yet the protracted lack of sunshine has retarded the growth of the beans. The ranchers say that if the weather gets warmer from now on the outlook for a good crop will still be very favorable. Comparatively little replanting will have to be done on the Irvine acreage. First planting on this property was completed about a week ago. The principal reason why the bean acreage to the southeast has been free from the cut worms is because the pests do not take kindly to light, sandy soil. Below Garden Grove, where the soil is quite heavy, the worms have caused the growers much loss. The Garden Grove farmers are hopeful that the weather will warm considerably from now on and if this proves to be the case fairly good bean crops will result in spite of the drawbacks with which the planters have had to deal with up to this time. FOREST PROTECTION In order to impress upon hunters the need of care with their camp fires the California fish and game commission has adopted as a decoration for the back of the hunting license just issued, an engraving of a camper putting out his camp fire before he leaves it. The picture shows him in the act of shoveling earth on the fire which he has already quenched with water. The title "Forest and Game Protection," is intended to call attention to the fact that forest fires destroy game. The plate was furnished to the commission by the U.S. Forest Service.
