HIGHWAY COMMISSION REJECTS A ROAD Section Near Placentia Must be Resurfaced According to Board The surfacing of a half-mile section of the Olinda road, running from the old Placentia store to the present town of Placentia has been rejected by the Orange county highway commission. The section will be resurfaced by the commission, with its private outfit. The decision to reject the surfacing of that portion of the road was arrived at Monday at a meeting of the commission. It is thought the surfacing proved unsatisfactory for the reason that the concrete surface was not swept clean before the surface rock screenings and oil was put on. The commissioners visited section 4 of the Riverside road and accepted the section. The Santa Ana canyon road is now open for its entire distance to the county line. Bids for paying the Brea canyon road, from Fullerton to the county line, were advertised, to be opened November 10. The letting of the contract of this work will be contingent upon the securing of rights of way from the various oil company properties. The final surfacing work on the Newport road was completed Monday. The highway commission is preparing to begin active operations soon on section 3 of the Riverside road extending from Olive to Peralita. The commission hopes to be able to advertise for bids by the middle of November. When, in addition to the foregoing work, the two and one-half mile strip of road from Anaheim to Olive is advertised for all the work called for under the $1,250,000 good roads bonds will have been completed or under way. NATIONAL DEFENSE What is needed by the people of the United States, in view of the pressure of drouth conditions there is considerable fire danger in the forests of the east fall. Pennsylvania and New Jersey lead all other states in the quantity of wood used for making tobacco pipes, and utilize apple wood, French brier, obony, birch, red gum, and olive wood. Cheerry is the wood most used as a backing for the metal plates from which illustrations are printed in magazines and periodicals. It is chosen above all others because it holds its shape, does not warp or twist, works smoothly and does not split. Two governors, those of Oregon and Massachusetts, have suspended the hunting season this year because of increased danger of forest fires when the woods were exceptionally dry. The position of city forester is now offering a new field for men with a technical training in forestry. NATIONAL DEFENSE What is needed by the people of the United States, in view of the present European war, is not so much better war preparedness, perhaps, as it is more self-consciousness as to the need of war protection. Heretofore, we have been helpless between the advocates of a greater army and navy, on the one hand, and the peace-at-any-price people on the other. We have not had any independent judgment on just how much of a national defense we should have. The resolution introduced in congress by Representative Gardner of Massachusetts for an inquiry into the state of national defense, looks toward the acquiring of just this knowledge. It may be based upon wrong premises. It may be that we are in no danger of war whatever, at this or some future date. It may be that it would be a wrong policy to increase the danger of war by increasing our war preparedness. But at least we should know just how we stand. We have been wrong to leave the question of how many war vessels we should have to lobbying by naval officers and battleship contractors at Washington. We have been wrong, on the other hand, to cut down naval and army appropriations on the theory that all war is wrong and that we are making ourselves parties to the cruelty of war by voting money for national defense. We may wake up some fine day to find the United States the China of the western hemisphere. China with her 500 millions of people is today helpless in the face of the offenses of Japan with her 50 millions, and must endure foreign insult and foreign guardianship and foreign pity. We are depending upon our 100 millions of people as our resources against foreign invasion. Our national wealth will help. But, while in the event of a possible British or German or Japanese aggression, we would husband our wealth, and call upon our citizens to volunteer, 16-inch guns might be bombarding our cities, submarines be sinking our coasting vessels, and foreign armies be plowing their way through our richest territory, calling on our states to pay war levies in terms of seven or more figures. The people of the United States have been remarkably successful in the last few years in popular self-education along many lines. We preserve our health better now than ever before, not so much through the operation of law as through the demands of public opinion. Our business is oblivious, birch, red gum, and olive wood. Cheerily is the wood most used as a backing for the metal plates from which illustrations are printed in magazines and periodicals. It is chosen above all others because it holds its shape, does not warp or twist, works smoothly and does not split. Two governors, those of Oregon and Massachusetts, have suspended the hunting season this year because of increased danger of forest fires when the woods were exceptionally dry. The position of city forester is now offering a new field for men with a technical training in forestry. Fitchburg, Mass., is one of the latest towns to secure an official of this sort. Because of extreme drouth, the fire risks on the national forests in the Northwest have been greater this season than in any other since 1910, the worst year since the forests were created. Much less damage was done this year because experience in fighting fires was gained in the fires of 1910.

As the Matter sadly Stands, You'll be CONCERNING THE JAPS Japan became exceedingly nervous when, after its ultimatum to Germany had been delivered, American criticism of Japanese aggression reached Nippon. So wrought up was the populace that reports of the departure of the American battleship fleet for the Far East, rumors of contemplated armed support for Germany, found widespread credence. It required energetic, reassuring denials by the Japanese government to allay the fears of the populace. And after the Japanese occupation of Jaluit and of the Carolines the Japanese press resented even the very tactful unofficial American inquiries regarding the intentions of Japan in the South Pacific. The domestic affairs of Japan are not in an ideal condition. High taxes, ANOTHER RECORD BROKEN ON SKATES Alfred Rollo the Australian roller skate champion broke all records for somersault skating Sunday evening at the Anaheim opera house. Mr. Rollo is well known on the Pacific slope as an acrobatic skater. At the present time he is the holder of the championship medal, and after his exhibition Sunday night no doubt will keep it in his possession for some time. The previous record was turning 20 somersaults in 20 seconds, but this record was lowered by one second on the Anaheim rink. Mr. Rollo turned 19 seconds. The first 13 were made in 10 1-4 seconds, being a remarkable feat owing to the condition of the floor, it having been used for a dance the previous night. H. Channitzer and C. Findley acted as judges. William Utter, the 7-year-old son of Dr. and Mrs. J. W. Utter, was struck by an automobile driven by unknown parties Tuesday evening last, at dusk, and was severely bruised. The accident occurred on South Claudina St. A machine, in which were riding three men and a woman, was turning into Claudina street from the alley in the rear of the Nagel building ANAHEIM GAZETTE the prolonged christocracy industry induces earth parts of the Japan is at distress shown that wilder intentions.

Twenty-five veterans of the Soldiers' Home at Sawtelle were the guests of Mrs. Della F. Bishop at her beautiful home in Orange Wednesday at the third annual dinner to which the aged defenders of the nation have been invited at this hospital home. The dinner to the Sawtelle veterans was conceived by Mrs. Bishop three years ago. The hostess is department inspector of the Daughters of Veterans and delights to honor the old soldiers. At her first dinner, no less than 99 of them were present. Advancing age prevents many who first attended coming now but such as are able to make the trip enjoy it to the full in addition to the veterans ten members of Anna Ella Carroll Tent, Daughters of Veterans of Sawtelle were present. Dinner was served on the wide screen porch of the Bishop home, decorated lavishly with flags and flowers. All of the guests were appreciative of the gracious hospitality and the generous dinner. Mrs. Bishop was ably assisted in entertaining by her sister, Mrs. J. F. Donovan and Mrs. Alfred Leech. Before leaving for home, the guests presented Mrs. Bishop with a cut-glass bowl in appreciation of a most pleasant entertainment. McBrida Good Shot. Captain J. L. McBride, Sergent E. D. Christenson and Cyroral H. G. Kirkpatrick are back from the competitive shoot of the National Guard at Sacramento from October 17 to Oct. WAS NEAR DEATH Near death from hunger, thirst, illness and exposure, a Mexican, who said that he had been lying in the open on the hills of the Bixby ranch for five days, was found early this week by H. R. Perkins and Earl Peck, who came across the unfortunate man while hunting. The Mexican was "all in." There was no doubt of that. He could not stand alone, and he collapsed completely before the hunters could assist him to the Maang ranch, which was the nearest house. Perkins and Peck started on their hunt from the Romero house and had reached a point about 2 miles back from the Santa Ana Canyon road in the hills when Pack noticed something on the hillside that attracted his attention. They investigated and found the man too weak to stand. The Mexican told them that he had been trying to cross the hills on a short cut and had lost his way. He was looking for work and was unfamiliar with the country. An attack of illness came upon him and he was unable to go further. When found, his situation was desperate. Although it was 11 o'clock in morning and the day was hot in the hills, the man's hands were cold from falling circulation. He said he could not have helped himself and doubtless would have died there but for the timely assistance. The hunters took the Mexican between them and half carried him down to the Maang ranch. Before they arrived he was attacked with nausea and collapsed. They secured water and revived him so that he could continue. At the Maang ranch he was turned over to a Mexican family, who cared for him. At last reports he appeared to be recovering. MORE GOOD ROADS Work on the new Orange county coast boulevard which is to connect all the beach towns and resorts along the south coast is progressing favorably. A large force of men is now busy on the macadamizing and improving of the right of way through Seal Beach, from Los Angeles county line, where that system of good roads now stops, to Anaheim bay. Another force is now engaged in the removing of the AMERICA'S DUTY TO FEED THE WORLD If America puts its hand to the plow in its effort to feed the world, it has assumed that responsibility now. Not since the harrowing days following our own strife of sixties have the tillable acres of this country faced such a possible drain upon their bountifulness. Without even dimly prophesying the duration of the war now raging, we are already assured of the fact that next year this country will be the storehouse of the world. Every farm owner, every tenant and every shareworker will have his part to play in fulfilling this great responsibility. No matter how remote his residence, he will hear Europe's call for beef, bacon, and bread, and on the amount he has to sell will depend not only his satisfaction of having served his fellow men but the additional satisfaction of having served himself; for big crops, much stock, many hogs next year will mean big profits. It is thus that the American farmer begins his fall work with two strings to his bow. With one hand he is rescuing the perishing and with the other he is reaching out for tangible encouragement toward a bank account and a better home. Now is his opportunity, and this month is the time to lay his foundation. There are two lines along which he should plan his work, but only one line along which he should work his plan. First, he should utilize every available part of his land, and second, he should strive to raise the average yield of his farm acre. There will be no danger of over production for the crops sown this fail. The man who has a big yield will find a big market. But to get this yield means a better kind of farming. Now would be a good time to break away from some old-fashioned ways of shallow plowing; and some old-fashioned carlessness in cultivation; and some old-fashioned theories in regard to seeding. In those parts of the country which do fall plowing and fall seeding, the way the seed bee is made and the way the sowing is done this fall will determine the crop per acre next year more than next year's rainfall, hot winds, or frosts.

Christenson and Crporal H. G. Kirkpatrick are back from the competitive shoot of the National Guard at Sacramento from October 17 to October 23. One hundred and fifty men, three from each organization, in the state, participated in the shoot, which was under the direction of and financed by the war department. Captain McBride shot 49 out of a possible 50 on each range. The eight high men in each regiment shot for the Sacramento Chamber of Commerce cup. The highest man in the regimental team making the highest aggregate won the cup. The cup was won by Sergeant Brunner of the Second Infantry. McBride shot the highest score of the entire 32 men but the Seventh Regiment team did not shoot the highest aggregate score. Guilty of Smuggling. Ed O'Banlon, who was formerly a resident of Orange and enlisted here for military in the Philippines during the Spanish war, was found guilty last week, by a Federal jury in Los Angeles, of landing fifteen contraband Chinamen at Sunset Beach, May 22, 1911. His partner in the crime was William Kirby. The case had been tried before, resulting in a disagreement on the part of the jury. A stay of sentence for thirty days was granted by Judge Wellborn in the United States district court and the men were released from custody on their present bond. During the trial, evidence was given showing that the men had been guilty of smuggling in China at other times than that mentioned in the complaint, some of the cases having occurred since they were first indicted two years ago. JOHNSON TO ST. LOUIS Walter Johnson, the "Fireball King," famed for his ability as a winning pitcher, not to mention his ability as a drawing card, will be a member of the St. Louis Federals during the season of 1915, if Walter Johnson has his way about it. Johnson has sent no fewer than three letters and telegrams to Fielder Jones, manager of the Terriers, in the last few days, declaring his willingness to become a member of the outlaw club. Johnson spent several days in St. Louis last week while on his way to work on the new Orange county coast boulevard which is to connect all the beach towns and resorts along the south coast is progressing favorably. A large force of men is now busy on the macadamizing and improving of the right of way through Seal Beach, from Los Angeles county line, where that system of good roads now stops, to Anaheim bay. Another force is now engaged in the removing of the sand dunes and making of the road bed between the bay and Los Patos, through Sunset Beach, and it is expected that all of this section of the boulevard will be completed by Christmas. The timbers for the bridge that is to span the mouth of Anaheim bay are now on the ground and work will be started soon on the structure. This first section of the boulevard is very much in demand at the present time owing to the large number of duck hunters who are in the habit of visiting the various clubs that lie back of Sunset Beach, and who are looking forward to the motor trip to the hunting ground. Surveyors are now going over the next section to be built lying between Huntington Beach and Newport, and actual construction of this part will probably be started in a short time. It is planned if possible to have the whole boulevard completed by next June, so that visitors to this section may have the pleasure of a 15-mile tour along the ocean front. At Sunset Beach the boulevard work has caused quite an activity. The big dredger has up to the present time cut out over $1,000 feet of the main channel that is to run the entire length of the resort and has made about fifty new lots.

As the pressure for supplies becomes greater, it becomes more evident that the world cannot afford large farms skimmed over with careless culture. In an actual experiment of a gain of 200 per cent which was made in the productiveness of a certain area, 100 per cent was found to be due to better plowing and harrowing, 50 per cent to better cultivation, and the rest to better seed." A lesson or two like that in every community would soon work its way into farm operation in such a way that several costly practices sanctioned by time and custom would become in a short time as historical as cradling wheat and threshing it with a flail. Our work begins this fall in plowing and seeding, and our opportunity to help will come next year at our harvesting and selling. We have more at stake than our profits, although our profits will be a goodly stake. We have at stake our commercial supremacy, our agricultural leadership; and above all, towering over everything and stifling our selfish hope of gain, or our commercial instincts, is our ability and our willingness to fill the pitiful hands which we know will be market. But to get this yield means a better kind of farming. Now would be a good time to break away from some old-fashioned ideas about the moon; from some old-fashioned ways of shallow plowing; and some old-fashioned carlessness in cultivating; and some old-fashioned theories in regard to seeding.

In an ex-ment not long ago described by F. L. Peterson of the University Farm at Davis, California he says: "As the pressure for supplies becomes greater, it becomes more evident that the world cannot afford large farms skimmed over with careless culture.

Johnson has sent no fewer than three letters and telegrams to Fielder Jones, manager of the Terriers, in the last few days, declaring his willingness to become a member of the outlaw club. Johnson spent several days in St. Louis last week, while on his way from Washington to his home in Coffeyville, Kan. He held conferences at that time with Jones. Previous discussions of terms had been held in the latter part of the season and just at the season's close, when Jones was in New York on a gum-shoe hunt for members of McGraw's Giants. Johnson is heart whole and fancy free in the matter of contracts. His term of service with the Washington Senators expired this fall and Walter is free to sell his services to the highest bidder. It is an open secret that Johnson for some time has considered his salary with the Senators unworthy of his efforts. Whether Johnson will wear a Federal uniform next year rests with the directors of the St. Louis club. A meeting was held Saturday morning, but nothing was given out about the signing of Johnson. It is understood that if the St. Louis magnates are forced to pay a high salary for the Coffeyville flinger that half of the expense will be met by the rest of the Federal owners, who will profit by Walter's drawing ability at the gate. The acquisition of Johnson would give Jones a fine start in the race for the 1915 Federal pennant. It would also seriously weaken the prestige of the American League to allow a start of Johnson's magnitude to escape. Good Place to Buy— G-O-O-D L-U-M-B-E-R C. GANAHL LUMBER COMPANY Anaheim. Cal.

Although there was a decrease in the production of natural asphalt in the United States in 1913, including all the varieties of natural asphalt and asphaltic sandstone and limestone, there was a far greater corresponding in crease in the output of manufactured or oil asphalt, according to the United States Geological Survey. Oil asphalt obtained as a residue from the destination of Mexican, Gulf and California asphalt oils, and even from those of the Middle West, is becoming more and more available. There is a correspondingly less interest in the development of new sources of natural asphalt. The production of natural asphalt in 1913 amounted to 92,604 short tons, valued at $750,713, a decrease from 95,166 short tons, valued at $865,225, in 1912. On the other hand, the output of manufactured or oil asphalt in 1913 was 436,586 short tons, valued at $4,531,657, against 354,344 short tons in 1912, valued at $3,755,506. The total quantity of asphalt imported into the United States for consumption in 1913 was 228,178 short tons, valued at $801,611. The island of Trinidad furnished the greater part of this—125,-273 short tons. Germania Halle A splendid Lunch every day. Best brands of Wines, Liquors, and Cigars for those desiring them.
