No state is a SCHOOLS OF STATE REAP LARGE REWARD Sales of Public Lands Will Net Educational System Millions of Dollars Two million dollars, perhaps $2,500,000, have been saved the state schools through a decision handed down yesterday in San Francisco by the court of appeals in the lieu land suit brought by Fred W. Lake, affecting 500 claims and 270,000 acres of California lands. These will be sold at public auction and the proceeds will go to the schools of California. The last lands auctioned brought $10.30 per acre, less the $1.25 due the government. This case has been in the courts of the state since 1909, when Attorney General U.S. Webb and others secured the passage of the Thompson land-law which made it possible to throw such lands back on the market that they might revert to the benefit of the schools. Under an act of congress the United States government granted to the state of California every 16th and 36th sections of each township within the state, to be sold for the benefit of the public schools. Thousands of acres included in the sections mentioned had been previously sold included in forest reserves or otherwise disposed of by the United States and in such cases the state was given the privilege of selecting any piece of government land in lieu thereof. The land offered to the government was known as "base." In 1908 Lake caused to be filed with the surveyor-general applications covering approximately 70,000 acres of base land in national forest reserves and then introduced a bill in the legislature authorizing the surveyor-general to offer the 70,000 acres to the United States government in exchange for other lands. Kingsbury and Webb caused the defat of this bill and then secured the passage of the Thompson law which offered these lands at public auction instead of selling them to the so-called "Land Sharks" for $1.25 an acre as had previously been done. Before the Thompson bill became law Lake presented to the surveyor-general applications covering some 200,000 additional acres of the same class of land.

BR Buick Agent of North End of Oran UNCLE SAM HELPS FIGHT FOREST FIRES One Hundred Thousand Dollars Just Appropriated For This Purpose The agricultural appropriation act which Congress has just passed makes available $100,000 for continuing the co-operation of the government with states in the protection of forests against fire. This co-operation began in 1911, when Congress first recognized the duty of the government to aid in protecting the watersheds of navigable streams by enacting the so-called 000. The states which are now receiving aid are Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Maryland, West Virginia, Kentucky, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, South Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Washington, and Oregon, 18 in all. The aim is to co-operate with every state which can meet the requirements of the law, giving most assistance to those which have difficulty in providing efficient protection. It is the policy to disburse the federal fund in such a way that the educational value of the work will be fully realized. A specific agreement is made with each state. The government is supplied with the state's plan of fire protection, including maps which show the areas to be protected, location of lookout stations, headquarters and routes of patrolmen, and other features necessary to a clear understanding of the scheme of fire control. The state forester or similar officer is given an appointment in the forest service, which authorizes him to employ federal patrolmen. The federal expenditures are for the salaries of these patrolmen. The patrolmen are under the state forester's direction and supervision, with inspection of their work by the forest service. Besides the direct results of patrol and other protective measures in keeping down the fire damage, the educa-tion here is allowed to maintain his residence here, as Santa Ana was his home when he entered the service and he expects to return when he retires. His family has moved with Appropriated For This Purpose The agricultural appropriation act which Congress has just passed makes available $100,000 for continuing the co-operation of the government with states in the protection of forests against fire. This co-operation began in 1911, when Congress first recognized the duty of the government to aid in protecting the watersheds of navigable streams by enacting the so-called Weeks law. The law not only provided for the purchase by the government of forest lands in the East, needed for stream protection, but also authorized the Secretary of Agriculture to co-operate with the states to prevent fire on other forest lands located on the watersheds of navigable streams. As a result, private owners of forest lands in many regions have been benefited by the establishment of a protective system of proved efficiency. During the fire season approximately 300 patrolmen are maintained in the field under this law. They guard an area of about 13,000,000 acres, for the most part mountainous and all on important watersheds. This area is protected at a very low cost per acre. A much larger acreage is protected in the same states by state employees and private agonicles. All told, the expenditures from state and private funds are from three to five times as great as those from federal funds. Since forest fires, by destroying the soil cover, bring about erosion in rough country, with consequent sliding up of river channels and loss of navigability, the fire problem is one of broad national importance. To secure federal aid a state must have provided by law a system of forest fire protection, and its expenditures must at least equal the government's. No state is allotted more than $10, forester or similar officer is given an appointment in the forest service, which authorizes him to employ federal patrolmen. The federal expenditures are for the salaries of these patrolmen. The patrolmen are under the state forester's direction and supervision, with inspection of their work by the forest service. Besides the direct results of patrol and other protective measures in keeping down the fire damage, the educational value of the co-operation has been shown through a much greater care taken by the public in the use of fire and the encouragement given states to enact legislation which will enable them to meet the requirements of the Weeks law. The government extends this co-operation to all states which will qualify. To do this a state must establish a fire protective system and appropriate funds for its use. DID NOT REMIT When the administration kindly reduced the tariff on sugar, March 1 last, the refiners of foreign sugar in New York did not remit what they did not have to pay the government to the consumer; they put that difference in their pockets. The promise made was to reduce the tariff, was to fulfill a promise made to the country, that the necessities would be reduced, but the sugar refining trust isn't concerned with democratic promises or the consumers of sugar, so it kept the difference. The same story applies to practically everything. The South American cattle raisers who ship beef to the United States did the same thing. As for the steel and iron men, the reduction of the tariff permits so much European cheap labor steel to come in that there's no use running all our own plants. United States Senator Works to take the examinations for West Point. In the dispatches, Matthews' place of residence is Santa Ana. Capt. Matthews was a captain in the volunteer service. After serving in the Philippines he went into the regular army, where he has served for 10 or 12 years. Under the federal rule he is allowed to maintain his residence here, as Santa Ana was his home when he entered the service and he expects to return when he retires. His family has moved with him from post to post. There is little question but that young Matthews will be able to pass the examinations and get into West Point. At least, that is the information received by friends of the Matthews family. Check Artist In Jail There is a man in the Santa Ana jail who has set a new record for gall. He passed three bad checks at Newport Beach on the Fourth of July. That took some foolhardy nerve, but the real unadulterated stuff was shown when the man gave City Marshal J. A. Porter a forged check for $10 as bail. The man's real name is not known. He blustered around Newport Beach, declaring that he was Mel Nordlinger, a member of a firm of prominent jewelers in Los Angeles. That was the name he used on the checks that he gave while on his jamboree at the beach. Nordlinger was not at the beach, and the name was forged. One check was for $20. It was cashed by Harry Dobbs. Another was for $10, cashed by F. A. Roberts. The third was for $10. That is the one accepted by the city marshal. All of the checks were drawn on the Hellman Bank of Los Angeles. The man's celebration of the Fourth reached such a stage that City Marshal Porter put him under arrest. It seems that a good deal of the man's conduct had been BUICK 15 a Lesser Price!
