PLATINUM PRODUCTION IN 1913 Although the high price of platinum encouraged prospecting in the United States in 1913, says David T. Day in an advance chapter from Mineral Resources, 1913, on the production of platinum and allied metals, the expected increase in the production of crude metal was not realized. The total production from California and Oregon, the two sources of platinum ore in this country, amounted to 482.87 crude ounces and was valued at $18,477. A considerable output of platinum is also obtained in the United States from the refining of gold and copper bullion. A portion of this platinum originates in old scrap, sweepings, etc., sold by jewelers and dentists. About 650 fine ounces, however, was derived in 1913 as new metal from gold and copper bullion from domestic mines. The production of refined platinum in this country in 1913 from domestic sources was 1034 troy ounces valued at $46,530 against 1005 troy ounces valued at $45,778 in 1912. Russia has been the greatest producer of platinum in the world, the output of crude platinum in 1913, being 250,000 troy ounces. The value of platinum imported for consumption in the United States in 1913 was valued at $5,040,210 against $4,503,682 in 1912. In late years platinum has come into greater use in the jewelry trade, but this increased demand has been compensated for by the decreased use of the metal for electric light bulbs. FAINT-HEARTED POLITICIANS It no doubt came as a surprise to a vast number of intelligent American people when the Secretary of the Navy announced a few days ago that there were not half enough men in the American navy to man the ships altraining of the next generation that the slogan Safety First stands for something that has a place in our work. It particularly concerns the welfare of that next generation. A few years ago no special caution was necessary for people to take care of themselves. It was only necessary to come in when it rained, to look out for Indians or wild beasts behind the bushes, and other things like that. Now there are a thousand perils, in every direction. We have so many machines, so many swift moving vehicles, such high speeds, such new and unknown devices everywhere, surrounded by such multitudes of people, that some special instruction is necessary to the safety of the people. Children need to be cautioned and taught regarding these new sources anger. Their minds need to be adjusted to the new conditions. Our whole state is reticulated by electric wires. Telegraph, telephone, power, light, and third rail lines run everywhere, even in the most remote rural regions, and all are dangerous to the ignorant and the incautious. A broken wire may carry death to him who touches; it may fall in a pool of water and bring destruction to those who step in the water; it may fall on a barbed wire and kill the one who climbs a fence a mile away. An innocent telephone wire may be charged with deadly high power voltage. The third rail is always a menace. Accidents happen when children throw wires over the telegraph line or climb the poles for fun. The regular railway lines, with heavy trains thundering along at high speed every hour of the day or night, are also very dangerous to the life and limb of the incautious and the adventurous. School houses are sometimes near the track, and children often have the habit of making a playground of the right of way, climbing under and upon the cars. Boys often jump on the slowly moving trains to came operative according to law by the government payable at a spat limit on all local agriculturists, who farmers and give six months.

He said it would require an addition of 18,000 men to man all the ships now under the flag. These ships cost, many of them, $15,000,000 each with their equipment, and if we got into trouble one-half of them would be without any practical use. Almost in the same breath came the announcement from an officer in the army that we were spending other millions of dollars in coast defense preparations, and that the army was not sufficient to man one-half of these batteries. Why is this so? Because the trouble makers, are afraid of a standing army and raise a loud howl whenever any proposition is made to increase the ranks of our fighting men. There is not a congressman in the whole body that does not know these facts, or if there is he is unfit for his place, and those who know it are just as unfit, for they are tongue-tied, afraid to say a word less they should incur the enmity of those who do not want a standing army for the reason that their kind prefers darkness to light, "because their deeds are evil." MORE WIVES WANTED Some of the local Japanese are beginning to doubt the advisability of sending back to Japan and getting a wife "sight unseen." Nido Okabe and Shota Nagamatsu, of Santa Ana tried it, and they had no more than become well acquainted with their wives than the wives ran away. Nido and Shota, however, are not among the doubters. They want to take another chance. Nido has a thriving poolroom in Santa Ana patronized largely by Mexicans. From his savings he sent money to Japan for a wife. He met her in Seattle, and was married forthwith. On arriving in Santa Ana Nido placed his acquisition in charge of his cigar stand. Asano was her name. In a corner of the room was a barber shop and in charge a dapper Jap, a regular dude of a Jap. Asano could not help turning a heavy trains thundering along at high speed every hour of the day or night, are also very dangerous to the life and limb of the incautious and the adventurous. School houses are sometimes near the track, and children often have the habit of making a playground of the right way, climbing under and upon the cars. Boys often jump on the slowly moving trains to go part way home, or hang to the cars for a joy ride. Particularly is this true in the villages and small towns. All this, the country over, results in a fearful cost in suffering, crippling, and death. The great railroads have prepared statistics showing the number of preventable accidents in this way, and the figures are appalling. During the past twenty years 181,379 trespassers were killed or injured on the railroads of this country. None of these were train men or persons who were there by necessity, but trespassers. Twenty-five thousand of them were young people under 18 years of age, living near the scene of the accident, and many of them were under 10 years of age. One hundred twenty thousand one hundred and three of them were citizens of the localities where the accidents occurred. Fourteen trespassers have been killed or injured by the railroads every day on an average for several years past. Think what an army of children it would take to make 25,000! They would reach around the world if one stood by every millopost! And all would have been saved had they kept off the railroad tracks. Our carlessness and heedlessness in this regard are inconceivable. Experienced railway men and trainmen never cross tracks on foot or horseback, with rig or auto, in town or country side, without first looking up and down the track for a train. Should not others still more take this precaution? The great railroads of the country spend millions of dollars yearly to prevent accidents, to save life and limb. Is it not a public duty to prevent accidents, to save life and limb. Is it not a public duty to do our small part, too?

Asano could not help turning a few cherry blossom smiles in the direction of the lather brush. One day Asano disappeared, and the barber also disappeared, as did $80 belonging to Nido, the husband, who also paid Asano's passage to America. Shota Nagamatsu had about the same kind of experience with his wife, Yoshi. From Seattle he brought her to a colery ranch in the lowlands where Shota was pilling up wealth. But Shota's wealth did not look good to Yoshi, not when she found her affinity. She and the affinity ran away, and Shota hears that they are now living in Tulare. Nido and Shota, comrades in disappointments, are of the same mind. Each wants a new wife, but the immigration authorities will not let them send back to Japan for prospective wives until they are legally free from those they already have. That is why Nido today began suit for divorce from Asano and why Shota started a similar suit against Yoshi. Nido and Shota are game to try their luck again. SAFETY FIRST IN OUR SCHOOLS State Superintendent of Schools, Edward Hyatt, has issued the following letter to the teachers of the state. The school terms are now opening all over our state. It may be worth while, at this time, to remind all of the people who have to do with the country spend millions of dollars yearly to prevent accidents, to save life and limb. Is it not a public duty to prevent accidents, to save life and limb. Is it not a public duty to do our small part, too? When we add to these sources of accident a hundred thousand automobiles swift carering along every road in our state, far and near, together with motorcycles, traction engines, flying machines and other swiftly advancing forms of locomotion, the wonder is that any of our children escape long enough to grow up. They can hope to escape only by riding on the shoulders of their elders and by profiting by the wisdom and caution that come down from the past. Somehow, they must grasp in a few days the caution that has required a thousand years or more for the race to learn—if they would survive. I hope every teacher will take up these subjects for attention and discussion in the school room, in an effort to instil the safetypirit into the minds of the children. If we can overcome some of the dangerous practices it will result in saving human life. It is well for the schools to join in the Safety First movement, for it is by such steps as this, all together, that the human race advances along the corridors of time. NO ONE-DAY NOTES In the past, most of the notes that were given to bankers by merchants and contractors were due one day after date. Of course, the banker did not expect to collect the day after the note was given, and the borrower did not expect to pay the day after he had received the accommodation, but that was the way the bankers throughout the country preferred the notes, as in case they needed money, as all bankers occasionally do, the loans could be called. Under the new system, which be- ANAHEIM GAZETTE came operative after November 1st, according to iron-clad rules laid down by the government, all notes must be payable at a specified time, and the limit on all loans, except those for agriculturists, will be 90 days; loans to farmers and growers will be limited to six months. The interest on all loans must be paid on the spot. In the past, interest was usually paid on the first of each month. There appears to be little doubt but what the matter of loans will be continued along about the same lines as in the past, with the exception of the interest payments, which will invariably be paid when the note is signed. Many borrowers will be unable to pay 90-day notes on maturity, and the chances are that in most instances his banker will renew the note. There is an opinion prevailing among the smaller banks of the country that the new reserve system to be inaugurated by their Uncle Samuel will be of little service to any except the larger banks near the reserve bank. The only accommodation a banker can obtain from the government institution will be for a term of 90 days, and it is estimated that about ten days will be required to unwind the reel of government tape, and that would only leave 80 days, which would be of little or no advantage to the average country banker. SEWARD JUSTIFIED We are surely the heirs of all the ages. When the acquisition of California from Mexico was being discussed some three-quarters of a century ago the great Daniel Webster in the United States Senate opposed the project with all the powers of his eloquence, describing the country as made up of inaccessible mountain heights, arid plains as bald as a desert, and altogether unworthy of serious consideration. When we came near to war with Great Britain over our northern boundary the government of that foreign country sent a commissioner to look over the ground. He was a Scotchman named Sir James Douglas, and we got Oregon and Washington because this canny Scot in his report said that in a hundred years there would not be a hamlet of white men in the whole territory, which is mostly mountainous, and the woods all over the country were so dense that in a hundred years the white colony operated after November 1st, according to iron-clad rules laid down by the government, all notes must be payable at a specified time, and the limit on all loans, except those for agriculturists, will be 90 days; loans to farmers and growers will be limited to six months.

Sir James Douglas even blamed the fish of the Columbia river. He said those waters were teeming with salmon, but that the fish did not have sense enough to rise to the fly. When Seward, then Secretary of State, proposed to Congress to swap a few old obsolete gunboats left over after the Civil War with the government of Russia for Alaska the same objections in different terms were made by the wise people of the East. Since then Alaska has been giving up seven or eight million dollars' worth of gold a year, and the annual catch of salmon, which Americans have learned to take whether they rise to the tides or not, is worth more than all the territory cost us. And now comes a report of the richest find of gold ever made in that same Alaska it is north of Seward in an almost inaccessible region, but if the gold is there Americans will get to it, and get it, too. BRING IN BELGIANS In his address at the banquet of the counties committee of the California Development Board at Sant Rosa, Gavin McNab made the somewhat startling proposal that California should undertake in some definite and practical way and on a large scale to procure the immediate immigration to this state of large numbers of the now dispossessed inhabitants of Belgium. He spoke eloquently of the high qualities of the Belgian people, their wonderful achievements through many centuries in art, science, and industry and their civilization, which they had maintained on so high a plane as to be able to support in prosperity and intellectual cultivation the densest population in the western world. These people are now dispossessed, their nationality is suspended, their government a fugitive, and their homes and cities in possession of a foreign invader. They are flocking in immense numbers to Holland and England, where there is no room for them, and it ought to be possible to devise means to transfer large numbers of them to California, where they could set up anew, to their advantage and ours, the high civilization and the high standards of individual and collective achievement which have now been suspended by war.

OBITUARY Daniel Kraemer Jr., was born in PlacentiaOrange countyCalif.,April 12,1890. He was the second of four children,the names of the children being Mrs.C.Usher,Daniel KraemerJr.,Mrs.A.Verner,Mrs.R.Hardtanderson.A youth he had but a scant chance to acquire a good education,but through an indomitable perserverance he acquired sufficient education to serve his needs and while a youth of about sixteen years of age entered the oil fields，working in different capacities，and his career was such that he was advanced from one position to another，so that in several years time he become head driller for one of the Coalinga Oil companies,and his attention to duty was such that during the last period of his work，他 served thirteen consecutive months without missing a day.Working 12 hours a day,Sunday included,and were not that the oil wells in Coalinga district were closed down it is hard to tell What a record he might have established as a working man noted for strict attention to duty. After the closing down of the oil wells in the Coalinga district，他 returned home for a visit with his mother and sisters,and after a vacation of three weeks received a telegram from Oklahoma calling him thither to serve as driller in an Oklahoma oil district.After meritorious service in the line of duty he was called to the state of Ohio，where unfortunately he became very ill，so that he was compelled to ERNOR，但它 will probably be substituted by a permanent statute when the legislature meets in regular session next January. The act is vital importance to the Texas farmers，as it will enable them to hold their cotton until it can be profitably marketed.Wheat，oats,corn and other non-perishable farm products can be stored，但the law was enacted primarily to meet the cotton situation，as this staple constitutes 47 per cent of the value of the annual agricultural production of that state and 25 per cent of the world's cotton crop is raised in Texas. WILL STOP LEAKAGE Steps have been taken by Secretary McAdoo to prevent information relating to outgoing oceans outbound from ports of the United States getting to belligerent nations，through agents in this country.The Secretary sent the following instructions to customs collectors: "Until further directed，you will refrain from making public or giving out to any other than duty authorized officers of the government information regarding any and all outward cargoes and the destination thereof until thirty days after the date of the clearance of the vessel or vessels carrying such cargoes." The Secretary's order is understood to have been promulgated because such information in the past has fallen into the hands of Consuls of warring nations and has been used in attempts to capture the vessels. MAKES A RECORD In two of the greatest and most people are now dispossessed, their nationality is suspended, their government a fugitive, and their homes and cities in possession of a foreign invader. They are flocking in immense numbers to Holland and England, where there is no room for them, and it ought to be possible to devise means to transfer large numbers of them to California, where they could set up anew, to their advantage and ours, the high civilization and the high standards of individual and collective achievement which have now been suspended by war. Mr. McNab recognized that if this were to be done it would require much more than the mere promotion of immigration. It would be useless to bring these people here unless we were prepared to receive them. They should be settled on the land, and this cannot be accomplished within our present methods of capitalizing it. Only a few of these people would bring with them cash enough to buy land, and at the speculative prices which have so often prevailed in California it would not be fair to them to sell them the land.
