PRODUCTS OF THE CALIFORNIA RANCHES DRIED FRUITS YIELD A TOTAL OF TWENTY-TWO MILLION DOLLARS THIS YEAR BEANS, ALSO, PROVE TO BE A PROFITABLE CROP IN THIS SECTION OF THE STATE It has all along been known that the present season was one of the most prosperous ever enjoyed by California, so far as production was concerned, and as the season advanced we have become more and more impressed with this truth. As showing this, we reproduce the following figures, compiled by J. K. Armaby, as applied to the dried fruit and bean crop. The figures give pounds and value, and while relating to only a portion of our great product for the season, will serve to give some idea of what the year 1914 has come for us: Dried Fruits Prunes ... 85,000,000 $5,950,000 Dried peaches ... 60,000,000 2,400,000 Raisins ... 200,000,000 9,000,000 Dried apples ... 6,000,000 300,000 Dried apricots ... 40,000,000 3,600,000 Dried pears ... 6,000,000 450,000 Dried nips ... 10,000,000 400,000 Miscellaneous dried fruits ... 2,000,000 140,000 Total ... $22,240,000 Beans Limas ... 1,560,000 $6,000,000 Pinks ... 700,000 1,680,000 Cranberries ... 150,000 360,000 Large whites ... 200,000 480,000 Small whites ... 225,000 630,000 Blackeyes ... 150,000 480,000 Layos ... 75,585 216,985 Scattering ... 56,985 169,885 also the married man whose income is more than $4,499. But the single man whose income is $3,999 or less and the married man with $4,999 or less is not taxed. That is decidedly unfair. If we must pay income tax the exemption should be lowered to say, $1,599 and $2,899 respectively. The present discrimination is purely arbitrary. It creates a class which is compelled to pay out of its income toward the support of the government and another class—very much greater in numbers—which is exempt from that obligation. The classification as given above is well worthy of close study. It shows far fewer immensely rich Americans than has been generally supposed—only 1688 of our 191,999,999 population having yearly incomes of $186,999 and over, and only 44 with $1,899,999 and over. MANY VARIETIES OF TREES PLANTED Largest Collection in the World at Riverside Station The complete collection in the world of varieties of citrus trees is being brought together by the University of California at its Citrus Experiment Station at Riverside. All these living trees are to be experimented with to find and develop still better and better varieties for California to raise commercially. Already declares Dean H. J. Webber of the graduate school of tropical agriculture in the annual report of the college of agriculture, just issued by the university. But splendid in quality as is this product; there is still enormous opportunity for advance. The commercial archards of the state are mostly limited to Washington naval and calencia oranges, eureka and Lisbon lemons. Marsh seedless grape fruit and the Dancy tangerine. "These are doubtless the best varieties now available," says Prof. Webber, "but it is questionable if they represent the highest perfection obtainable." Hence the great work now undertaken by the university—to collect and try out a vast range of other varieties. Seven years ago the university planted plants for hospital which was Winward Smith, mason board from Villanova some time ago. There is no doubt that season will be at good one and that heavy demand at that California can handle.

These figures show a remarkable increase in the demand for California dried peaches, in spite of war and every adverse circumstance. The shipments by months of dried peaches for the fiscal year ending August 31st were as follows: Tons September ... 9,841 October ... 7,002 November ... 2,119 December ... 5,631 January ... 2,214 February ... 2,471 March ... 2,861 April ... 1,930 May ... 1,655 June ... 705 July ... 419 August ... 3,730 Total ... 39,888 Then, too, the shipments of raisins, beans and prunes out of California by land and sea since the first of the year show a big demand for these products. The figures are as follows in tons: Raisins Beans Prunes January ... 1,903 3,995 3,865 February ... 3,019 5,031 2,644 March ... 3,826 4,844 3,820 April ... 1,894 2,197 1,671 May ... 2,181 1,536 1,154 June ... 1,832 1,166 1,073 July ... 909 1,172 388 August ... 8,481 1,105 1,036 Total ... 23,045 21,046 15,593 The shipments of canned fruits and vegetables since January 1st have been the helvest for a corresponding period in a good many years, and by cases are as follows: January ... 223,240 February ... 147,989 March ... 154,216 April ... 140,147 May ... 193,813 June ... 237,994 July ... 424,904 August ... 635,196 Total ... 2,207,499 THE UNFAIR INCOME TAX While voting their state dry in the election Tuesday the men and women of Arizona sentenced to death fifteen murderers, who have been held in the enormous opportunity for advance. The commercial orchards of the state are mostly limited to Washington navel and calencia oranges, eureka and Lisbon lemons. Marsh seedless grape fruit and the Dancy tangerine. "These are doubtless the best varieties now available," says Prof. Webber. "but it is questionable if they represent the highest perfection obtainable." Hence the great work now undertaken by the university—to collect and try out a vast range of other varieties. Seven years ago the university planted at Riverside 14 varieties in addition to the ordinary sort. Up to the present year 53 other different sorts had been huddled at the Citrus Experiment station. This year 64 standard named varieties and 76 different minor varieties and selected interesting forms have been brought from Flordia, Cuba and the Isle of Pines, by Prof. H. S. Fawcett, and five to ten trees budded with each new bud or seedlings grown from imported seed. Numerous varieties brought as budwood from Brazil by A. D. Shamel of the United States Department of Agriculture have also been propagated at the station for tests of new varieties. So by the use of this richly varied collection of growing trees a careful systematic study of the citrus fruits is in progress which promises results of great significance for the vast citrus industry of California. A VALUABLE DISCOVERY Five millions dollars at least will be saved annually to the citrus fruit industry of the state through the recent discovery made by Charles E. Burke of the University of California department of chemistry; furnishing an inexpensive process for preserving orange lemon and lime juices. Dr. Burke has succeeded after exhaustive experimentation extending over two years; in perfecting a process whereby the fluids of citrus fruit are retained as pure and wholesome as first drawn from those fruits. He uses no alcoholic base; his process being a chemical and mechanical filtration which extracts all solid matter; leaving the juice pure and really clearer than when first squeezed from the fruit. Dr. Burke points out that as citrus growers raise the lemon for its juices,the extraction of the early stages of the handling of the fruit would mean an immediate saving in the handling of the product; as the cost of freight on pulp,and the cost of pickling,culling and curing in the sweat rooms is eliminated. The juices could be bottled in handy and compact size and shipped everywhere.

The UNFAIR INCOME TAX It is officially in evidence that the income tax, which was improved in the hope that it would make good the decrease in customs duties under the democratic low-tariff (free trade) law, is paid by only 357,598 persons out of our population of about 100,000-000. The figures as given out by the treasury department are: | Classification | No. of Returns | | :--- | :--- | | $ 2,500 to $ 3,333 | 79,425 | | 3,333 to $ 5,000 | 114,484 | | 5,000 to $ 10,000 | 101,718 | | 10,000 to $ 15,000 | 26,188 | | 15,000 to $ 20,000 | 11,977 | | 20,000 to $ 25,000 | 6,187 | | 25,000 to $ 30,000 | 4,164 | | 30,000 to $ 40,000 | 4,553 | | 40,000 to $ 50,000 | 2,427 | | 50,000 to $ 75,000 | 2,168 | | 75,000 to $ 100,000 | 998 | | 100,000 to $ 150,000 | 785 | | 150,000 to $ 200,000 | 311 | | 200,000 to $ 250,000 | 145 | | 250,000 to $ 300,000 | 94 | | 300,000 to $ 400,000 | 84 | | 400,000 to $ 500,000 | 44 | | 500,000 to $ 1,000,ooo | 91 | | 1,ooo,ooo and over | 44 | Total: 357,598 Married: 278,835 Single men: 55,212 Single women: 23,551 Total: 357,598 These returns cover incomes for the ten months from March 1 to December 31, 1913. The next returns will be for 1914 full calendar year. The burden of this tax unfairly falls upon only a little more than one-third of one per cent of the population. The single man who has a yearly income of above $3OOO is taxed, as is While voting their state dry in the election Tuesday the men and women of Arizona sentenced to death fifteen murderers, who have been held in the Florence Penitentiary under reprieve pending the outcome of the balloting on the proposal to abolish capital punishment. Returns up to Thursday made it practically certain that with the exception of the prohibition amendment and one other, all the measures on the ballot were defeated. The other was the proposal to limit railroad passenger fare to three cents per mile. The defeated propositions included that forbidding prohibition elections oftener than once in eight years, and the labor measure providing that 8O per cent of all employees in any business of whatever character should be American citizens. Forty per cent of Arizona's registration for the election was composed of women, and 83 per cent of the women registered cast ballots. AN ERA OF CONFIDENCE All over California, among all classes of producers, there is a strong feeling of confidence in the coming season and innamuch as we largely shape our own destiny by our belief, this confident feeling in the good time to come will do very much to bring it about. We are all working fully believing that the coming year will open to us wider markets for our products than the past has given us and even thought it should be no better; we should certainly have no cause for complaint; for the season of 1914 has in spite of some minor setbacks, been one of the best in our history. At the present writing reports have reached us that there is a much larger average of grain being sowed or land prepared than ever; farmers are preparing to produce more than ever; in the firm belief that the demand upon us for food stuffs during the coming year will be very heavy. ANAHEIM GAZETTE HOSPITAL GROUNDS BEING BEAUTIFIED Splendid Landscape Scheme Planned By County Forester County Forester Grant has completed his plans for beautifying the grounds at the county hospital and as soon as necessary changes in water mains for the farm have been made a force of men will be put to work on the landscape job and it will be completed as soon as possible. Mr. Grant is arranging for a lawn in both the front and rear of the big concrete building and about an acre of ground directly north will be put into a beautiful park, with rose and other gardens around the borders. Instead of the present approach from the street which passes, to the rear of the building's private roadway and crossing from the Southern face has been arranged for leading from the state highway directly to the front door of the three-story building, with a curved drive around on the south side to the rear entrance. Forty truck loads of leaf mould will be brought from the Orange county park to be mixed with the top soil of the grounds and whatever is planted in it will grow to perfection. Trees for the grounds are being collected and established at the nursery on Vance street. Among them are the beautiful cocos plumosus palms donated by Messrs C. E. Utt and Sherman Stevens of Tustin. These trees are now about six feet in height and to purchase them in the open market would mean an outlay of about six or seven hundred dollars each. They will be of interest on the grounds wita California redwoods. The unsightly fence along the railroad right of way will be torn down and replaced with a demarkation hedge of either Catalina cherry or privet. Potted plants for the interior of the hospital which were purchased by Winnard Smith, member of the forestry board from Villa Park, and Mr. Grant some time ago, have already been IN AND ABOUT COUNTY Lore Work on Highway. The paving outfit of the C. H. Hudson Company of Los Angeles has begun work on the section of the state highway extending from the south county line to the Santa Fe railroad crossing at Miyorda, was announced this week by N. D. Darlington, of the State Highway Commission. Unexpectedly, some slight trouble is being encountered by the commission in regard to obtaining certain rights of way. However, Darlington states that the matters would be straightened out in a short time and that the slight pitch would in no way retard the beginning of paying operations. "I know that the supervisors are very anxious to get that section started," said Darlington, "and I think that no trouble will be experienced in obtaining the necessary rights of way." The section extending from Galivan to San Juan Cain is now being advertised for bids. New Trial Coming. Monday afternoon Judge West signed an order granting a new trial in the case of G. Meger against Carl Rodeyer. In that case judgment for $50 was entered in favor of the plaintiff, and it was the plaintiff that asked for a new trial, as he wanted much heavier judgment. Meger and Rodeeyer were neighbors at Anaheim, and in a quarrel over a ditch Rodemeyer gave Meger, an old man, a beating. Williams & Jutan were attorneys for the plaintiff and Tipton & Calior for the defendant. The case attracted a great deal of attention. Rodemeyer was fined heavily for battery. Agreement Reached. An agreement of sale from the Walker-urand Oil company to the Provident Oil company has been recorded of a lease-hold interest in lots 5 and 6, Tunree's subdivision, near Placetta, and personal property, for $69,000.

E. is likely to be settled soon. Pitted, corroded water pipes will be part of the exhibit of the Union Hollywood Water Company and Yorba Linda Water Company before the State Railroad Commission today in a joint action to compel the Pacific Electric to put a muzzle on "vagrom" electric currents. According to the complaints, the trolley road is negligently allowing excess "juice" to ride the water pipes back to the power houses after "breaking off" at spurs, switches, and resistant rail joints. The result is the carrying pipes soon become the prey of electrolytic corrosion, leaks result, and are long they lose their ability as conductors of water. "I can't say what the damage has been," said C. J. Heyler, president of the Union Hollywood Water company, "though we did some figuring along this line once. It has been large, though." An order compelling the Pacific Electric to provide carriage for its own return electricity is asked. The damage to the two water systems, it is said, has been marked along the Pacific Electric's "high-power" lines, particularly where power houses act as magnets to draw the current from the pipes. Agreement Reached. An agreement of sale from the Walker-irand Oil company to the Provident Oil company has been recorded of a lease-hold interest in lots 5 and 6, Thurree's subdivision, near Placenta, and personal property, for $69,000. Agreements were recorded by one of which the Fullerton Oil company agrees to sell to the Standard Oil company oil produced in the Fullerton Whittier held in section 9, township 3 south, range 9 west, and in section 2, township 3 south, range 10 west, and by the other of which Calokia Oil Company agrees to deliver to the Standard Oil company oil produced on the Calokala's property in section 19, township 3 south, range 9 west. An oil lease for 20 years is given by Dr. C. C. Williams to the Duquesne Investment company on lot 9, block 30, Yorba Linda tract. Royalty is one-sixth. Chased by His Wife. G. Alberi, who lives on McFadden street, Santa Ana, thought it would be a good time when everybody was engaged in the election, to chastise his wife, and he playfully took her by the neck Tuesday, and tested her as to the length of her tongue. When he had ceased his playful antics, he let her go, and she went—straight to a neighbor's and telephoned to police headquarters that her husband was trying to kill her. Marshall Jernigan went to the rescue, and not to be outdone in chivalry, Jack Ryan begged for a chance to aid beauty in distress. The Marshal took him along. As the machine was approaching the place from which the call came, the officers saw a man tearing across the fields, and closely in his wake followed a little woman. She overtook him and held him until the interploid officers got to the scene. She was somewhat winded by her run but managed to tell the officers the circumstances in the case. The husband did not deny the tale, but said he had a right to chastise her if she did not do as he told her to. The officers said that he could tell his troubles to the judge, andacked him to jail. He has been in the habit of beating his wife, so she said. Balcom Will Filed. The will of Bayless G. Balcom, who died on the 11th inst., leaving an estate called at $185,000, was rilled for probate Thursday in Los Angeles, by the widow, Mary R. Balcom, and a son, Edward Emory Balcom, the latter of Fullerton. Mr. Balcom resided at No.702 South Kingsley drive. He owned real estate in Los Angeles, Orange, Tulare and Kings counties, valued at $75,000; notes, mortgages and contracts were appraised at $110,000. For many years Mr. Balcom was a resident of this county. He lived at Orange, then Santa Ann, then Fullerton, engaging in the banking business.

SOME POTATO HISTORY In an address before the potato emergency convention, recently held at Stockton, Professor Jaffa was quoted as having dwelt upon the use of the potato in biblical times. In a communication to this paper, Professor Jaffa states that he was misquoted and did not say that the potato was used as an infant food in those times, but he merely used some of the old Biblical laws to emphasize his remarks on the subject of pure food. In regard to the introduction and history of the potato, Professor Jaffa continues: "The potato, called in different regions white potato, Irish potato, English potato, or round potato, was first introduced into Europe between 1580 and 1585 by the Spanishards, and afterwards by the English about the time of Raleigh's voyage to Virginia. It is commonly believed to be a native of Chile. Wild potato plants closely resembling those cultivated today are still found there, though it is a fact worthy of mention that, as the potato has been modified by cultivation, it has largely lost the prow of producing seeds, and the cultivated potato differs from the wild in seldom producing seed-bearing fruits. When first visited by Europeans, the aborigines in Chile and adjacent regions cultivated the potato for its edible tubers and had apparently long done so. It was probably introduced into the United States, especially into Virginia and North Carolina, toward the end of the sixteenth century.

MILLS ARE OPENING Following Tuesday's republican successes, showing the country is ready to turn back to its old and tried leaders, steel mills, blast furnaces and manufacturing plants in the Pittsburgh district, employing over 20,000 men are preparing to resume either full or partial operations within the next ten days. In several instances employees of these concerns were notified this week that they would surely be needed in their old places or that they would go on full time next week. From the big new Kensington plant of the Aluminum company of America came word that the concern expected to resume operations in full in a few days. The James S. Laughlin company, the largest independent steel concern in the country, is preparing to increase its working force at Soho, South Side and Allquippa works, while several mills in the Allegheny Valley will start partial operations next week. The Pressed Steel Car Company's big McKees's Rocks and Wood's Run plants will both increase operations beginning next Monday."

Griffith Lumber Co. A five-room house belonging to G. M. Simpson and G. W. Hamler on their 5-acre ranch at the corner of North street and Placentia road, was burned to the ground Wednesday evening at 9 o'clock. Efforts to quench the fire were unavailing and the building was a total loss. Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Clyde, with their four small children, were occupying the house and only escaped with the clothes worn at the time, their household goods and personal belongings being a total loss. Mr. Clyde's hands were painfully burned when he was getting the frightened children from the house. Two of the children had gone to bed, and Mrs. Clyde was preparing to read a story to the two others before going to bed, when the fire started. One of the boys struck a match in his search for the story paper in an unoccupied room and thought he extinguished it, but when he returned a little later the room was in flames, which had gained such headway that no effort could be made to stop them. Mr. and Mrs. Clyde and family were cared for during the night by neighbors, and Mrs. Clyde with the children were taken to China the next morning by her brother.
