This tree was found in Boquet Canyon on the Santa Barbara National Forest. It is eight feet in diameter at the base with a large spreading top about 80 feet in diameter. A small group of Macnab cypresses have been discovered in the Kern National Forest, Kern county. This tree has not been reported before south of Butte county. The spines of certain species of cactus make excellent phonograph needles. The District Forester at San Francisco has approved a contract for the sale of approximately 19,000,000 feet of yellow pine, white fir and cedar to the California Lumber Company of Loyalton. The timber is located on the watersheds of Smithneck and Badenoch Creekes within the Tahoe National Forest. Cutting will be this season. The contract allows five years for its completion. Some 14,760,000 feet of pine, fir and cedar on the Plumas National Forest are advertised for sale. Bids will be received by the district forester at San Francisco to and including June 26, 1914. A tract of 27,000 acres supporting 315,640,000 feet of timber has been cruised by a party of rangers on the Modoc National Forest and will be offered for sale.

The finance committee reported auditing the following bills, for which some 14,760,000 feet of pine, hr and cedar on the Plumas National Forest are advertised for sale. Bids will be received by the district forester at San Francisco to and including June 26, 1914. A tract of 27,000 acres supporting 315,640,000 feet of timber has been cruised by a party of rangers on the Modoc National Forest and will be offered for sale. The timber is situated on the plateau immediately north of Pitt River and is near the proposed extension of the Fernley and Lassen branch of the Southern Pacific to Klamath Falls, Oregon. In order to control insect depredations this spring, 2,130 infested trees were cut on the Sierra, California and Trinity National Forests. The treatment consisted of felling the trees and burning the bark which contains the insects. The work was discontinued about May 1 because the warm weather caused the insects to emerge from the trees, and also because the conditions for burning the bark became dangerous. During the month of May, 1914, the National Forests in California produced an income of $27,119.47 derived from the sale of timber, grazing privileges and special uses. REPUBLICANS ARE FAR IN THE LEAD AlmostEqual DemocratsandProgressivesCombinedAccordingtoLatestFigures Republicans are far in the lead in registration of votes in the state according to figures issued from the office of the secretary of state Saturday.

AUTOISTS WILL HAVE 3 SAN DIEGO ROUTES New Road From Anaheim Landing to Los Patos to Be Built There is every indication that motorists will have three direct routes to San Diego instead of two, according to Secretary Standish L. Mitchell of the Automobile Club of Southern California. If various beach projects are carried through California will have one of the longest all-coast roads in the world, and the inter-national Riviera will skim the edge of the Pacific ocean instead of the Mediterranean. The automobile club officials expressed themselves this week as being favorable to any movement which would facilitate the handling of traffic during the exposition year, and Secretary Mitchell considers that an all-coast road will prove an added attraction for eastern motorists. According to Frank M. Jordan, of the touring information department of the automobile club, it will be possible to start from the gateway of the Malibu ranch and tour south as far as Capistrano Canyon along the beach. Here a short detour will carry the motorist inland for a few miles and then the coast tour is resumed practically all the way to San Diego, making a distance of about 146 miles of beach touring. Reports received this morning at the auto club headquarters show that the actual work will be started at once by Orange county on the stretch of road from Anaheim Landing to Los Patos, and this will be the first step taken to complete the third route to the southern city. Other projects are rounding into shape, according to Secretary Mitchell, for completing connecting strips of road. The automobile club will give its moral support to the rapid completion of the project. OUR RESOURCES Southern California has not only demonstrated itself to be a land of great opportunities but what is far more important,a land of the development of great opportunities. For instance,a generation ago the importation of a couple of orange trees from Brazil.of what is now known as the navel variety.started the navel orange industrywhich has since grown to gigantic proportions. Less than half a dozen years ago the experiment of growing cotton on a commercial scale was tried for the first time in California by an energetic citizen of the Imperial Valley.Now thousands upon thousands of bales of cotton of most excellent quality are grown annually.Cotton growing for profit has grown far beyond the experimental stage and another very important industry has been added to California's already huge list. From every part of this state of ours comes the same report of bountious crops.The barley crop is the largest for many years,and a total tonnage of 1,300,000 tons is expected.Just in passing it may be mentioned that up in Butte countythe rice growing industry has assumed such proportions that 14,000 acres of land are devoted to rice growing with results satisfactory to the growers. Not content with producing better citrus fruits than the Mediterranean region,and better cotton than Dixie,California has set out to make the Mohammedan countries of Northern Africa and Western Asia out of date in the successful production of fine quality dates.The development of the date-growing industry in this state is proceeding and its prospects are roseate. Climate and soil seem to be well adapted to the growing of this nutritious gift of the desert. LOS ALAMITOS PUPILS GRADUATED FRIDAY Appropriate Exercises Held at Sugar Town on the Occasion Los Alamitos, Cal., June 6. The graduation exercises of the Laurel grammar school were held in Commercial hall Friday evening where an interesting program was given to a large and appreciative audience. Much credit is due the teachers, Mrs. Shanelabor and Miss Espy, for the excellence of the entertainment. Children from all grades took part in the program and their very creditable performance was the occasion for much applause from their proud parents and relatives. The graduates were Evadie Leona Labourdette, Lowell Albert Trimbell, and Ervin Edmund Heying, who adopted as their motto "Work and Win." At the Los Alamitos sugar factory the overhauling and repairing of the sugar making machinery is being steadily pursued by a large force of men and it is confidently expected that the entire plant will be in first class shape a week or ten days previous to the opening of the campaign and handling of the immense crop of beets which will be harvested this year. Ex-Senator William A. Clark, of Butte, Montana, accompanied by his brother, Mr. J. Ross Clark, vice-president of the Salt Lake Railway, visited the factory and the adjoining ranches owned by them Wednesday last, expressing much gratification over the fine crop prospects in anticipation of a banner campaign run. Senator Clark, as usual, seemed to be enjoying excellent health and his old-time energy is still evident to the casual observer. Henry C. Lee, manager of the Los Alamitos Sugar Company, accompanied by Mrs. Lee (formerly Ella Clark) motorized from Los Angeles Tuesday last and were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. E. C. Hamilton, where they took luncheon. Rev. Benjamin Watts has just returned from Wagner, Oklahoma, where he attended the general conference of the Cumberland Presbyterian church. ORUR STATE HIGHWAYS A recently published report of the state highway commission indicates that good progress is being made in the construction of the system of California highways. Out of the $18,000,000 state highway bonds, there has been completed under the supervision of the state highway commission to date, 119 miles of highly constructed highwyas, and there is now under construction many miles which will be completed within the next five or six months, according to figures announced by State Highway Engineer A. W. Fletcher. This makes a total of 511 miles of new roadways accomplished within less than a two-year period, or since the actual sale of the bonds was begun. The total cost of the highway links, which, when the proposed system is completed, will connect the northern and southern boundaries of the state and at the same time be interlaced with laterals connecting the counties and county seats, has been, for the completed roads, $965,566.94, including all the preliminary work for the 119 miles. Thus far a total of $4,400,358.55 worth of highways has been contracted for, including the $3,434,791.61 in contracts now active, or representing the roads under construction. There remains to be contracted for an estimated mileage of 2,025 miles, making the entire system to be constructed under the plans laid by the commission 2,536 miles long, almost as long as across the United States. This grand total, it is expected, will be reached before the lapse of another year and a half or two years of construction. Out of the original total—this means the entire bond issue—the commission has spent for all purposes $3,462,200. There have been sold to date $9,785,000 worth of bonds, leaving a large sum now at hand with which to take care of the large number of contracts now pending and those for which bids have been, or are about to be, called for. That the large portion of the roads constructed and under contract is of high grade is shown by the figures for the oiled concrete type. The total under this specification is 369.04 miles, and this class of road has been built in the more populous sections of the state where traffic is constant and of more than average weight. Here are the proportions for the types of road, and in all the specifications call for solid concrete base—with the exception of the graded roads: Asphaltic macadam, 16.54 miles; asphaltic concrete—the highest type of road in the entire system—12.54 miles; oilled macadam, 19.12; water-bound macadam, 19.48; graded roads, 73.58 OUR STATE HIGHWAYS A recently published report of the state highway commission indicates that good progress is being made in the construction of the system of California highways.

ANAHEIM IN VANGUARD It is, speaking in round numbers, more than half a century since a colony of Germans settled at Anaheim and began to convert the sage-covered plain into one of the most fertile spots in the world. Between 25 and 30 years ago, when the first great real estate boom, a premature movement, was in full swing, the people of Anaheim resisted in every way the booming of their property, says the Los Angeles Times. They said that their homes were there, that they had nothing to sell, and an increase in value would only result in an increase of taxes, doing harm instead of good. But the Anaheim people were always in every forward movement for the permanent benefit of their own town and California in general. It is an agricultural community for the most part, and the soil is exceedingly productive. In view of these facts it is entirely natural and in the line of what might be expected that the high school of that place is to have an elaborate agricultural course put into the studies of the senior year. The pupils are to be taught to analyze soils, the budding and culture of citrus and other fruit trees, and the extermination of insects injurious to the trees. J. D. Lavin made a business trip to Los Angeles Monday. high grade is shown by the figures for the oiled concrete type. The total under this specification is 369.04 miles, and this class of road has been built in the more populous sections of the state where traffic is constant and of more than average weight. Here are the proportions for the types of road, and in all the specifications call for solid concrete base—with the exception of the graded roads: Asphaltic macadam, 16.54 miles; asphaltic concrete—the highest type of road in the entire system—12.54 miles; oiled macadam, 19.12; water-bound macadam, 19.48; graded roads, 73.58, and oiled concrete, 369.04. It is estimated that contractors working under the state highway commission can complete the roads at the rate of a mile a month, and as the contracts are divided into an average of from 6 to 12 miles, the links will all be connected within a period of six months to a year. A significant feature of the totals given is in the number of miles completed and the number of miles under construction as compared to the total amount expended for every purpose by the commission since its existence. There has been completed and now is under construction a total of more than $4,400,000 worth of roads, while the commission to date has spent only $3,462,200. This expenditure takes in planning and getting ready for contracts on more than 100 miles of roads to be awarded in the near future, and which do not figure in the total given as completed and the total under construction. In the far northern sections of the state there soon will be awarded contracts which will almost complete the chain of highways from Sacramento to the Oregon boundary. These contracts also will include laterals connecting various county seats with the main highway. Another well on the Graham and Loftus lease north of town has been spouting fire and illuminating the heavens to such an extent that people who witnessed it from a distance thought a big conflagration was raging somewhere. Sec. 24.

Southern California Edison Co. MAY CHANGE ROUTE There is a possibility that the state highway route south of Santa Ana may be changed so that the road will pass through El Toro instead of passing along the present main traveled road, which lies a mile southwest of El Toro. Recently W. Lewis Clark, division engineer of the state highway commission, and his assistant, Cortelyou, with County Surveyor McBride, went over the roads involved in the proposed change. No decision was reached by the state representatives, or, at least, no intimation of a decision was given. Hitherto it has been understood that the state highway would follow the main road that angles to the left at Culver's corner on the Irvine ranch, pass through Irvine and on down to San Juan Capistrano. Clark believes that there would be a decided advantage in having the road higher up toward the foothills, and the road as now under consideration would be higher. At Culver's corner the road straight ahead, known as the Trabuco road, would be followed until a point is reached for the best turn to the south, either through or above El Toro. The road as thus routed south would join shall throw, deposit to be thrown, deposite or upon any street, within said city any thereof, or any fish, cayed matter, material water or anything world or offensive. person shall keep the his or her house, premises in said city some condition. owner, lessee, agent, shall keep his or her said city in a clean tition, and no owner, or occupant shall alaccumulation of marubish, stagnant y kind to be or reyard, lot or premason being the owner, if any stable or any here any horse, cow be, shall cause such kept at all times in some condition, and animal therein while use contagious or pessable or place in said or cow may be kept manure or accumulrein or thereabouts as often as once in and in and about no here horses or cattle the amount of manure wards, nor shall this anger time than three shall construct or said city within less by property line, nor by residence or dwelwalk; and every privy with a vault or well of seet deep. r., lessee or agent or or premises in said or permit any privy, which lot or premises to above two feet of the vault; and every privy with a vault or well of seet deep. shall be disinfected come foul or offenault or cess pool shall fitted and filled with so ordered by the son who shall violate of this ordinance, or therefore prohibited, and fail to comply with ents of this ordinance, city of a misdemeanor, thereof shall be punexceeding $200.00, or not exceeding sixty fish and imprisonment for each $2.00 fire term of such impreeed ninety days.
