April 15 .....2,829,440 On April 15, 1915, just five years since the last decennial census, and midway until the census of 1920, the population of the state of California will be 2,829,440, compared with 2,377,649 in 1910, an increase of 451,891, or at the rate of 19 per cent for the five-year period. The figures have been compiled from the records of the United States census bureau, and the computations are made in accordance with the methods followed in promulgating the annual estimates. Rather interesting is the description of the manner of making the annual estimates, as given in a letter from Hon. William J. Harris, director of the bureau of the census. He says: "It is assumed that the annual interurban traffic are among the reasons advanced by the three principal railroads of California why special rates should be withdrawn between various points in Central and Southern California. The Southern Pacific, the Santa Fe and the Salt Lake roads made joint application to the state railroad commission for permission to withdraw: 1 Excursion rates on round trip tickets over Sunday between many Central and Southern California points. 2 Excursion rates on eight-day round trips between Los Angeles and various inland points. With regard to the eight-day ticket, the argument is that they were issued originally to carry tourists to the lands open to settlement around Los Angeles and those lands are now settled. FORTIETH YEAR OF WASHINGTON NAVELS Riverside Invited to Observe Anniversary of Birth of Famous Fruit The National Orange Show at San Bernardino, Feb. 17-24, falls on the 40th anniversary of the birth of the Washington navel orange, and the city of Riverside, the pioneer citrus fruit district of California, has been invited by the exposition directors to properly celebrate the event at the Orange show and Riverside is now laying its plans. The two navel orange trees that are parents of all of California's millions of Washington navel trees are still alive. One of the trees is in the garden of Frank Miller's Mission Inn, where it was transplanted by Theodore Roosevelt, when he was president. The other is at the head of the famous Magnolia Avenue at Riverside.

Rather interesting is the description of the manner of making the annual estimates, as given in a letter from Hon. William J. Harris, director of the bureau of the census. He says: "16 is assumed that the annual increase each year since April 15, 1910, has been equal to the annual increase from 1900 to 1910. As, however, the number of months from June 1, 1900, to April 15, 1910, is 118.5, the computation is made on the basis of the increase for each month. In other words, the population of 1900, subtracted from that of 1910, and the remainder divided by 118.5 gives the increase for one-month, and this multiplied by twelve gives the increase for one year. The arithmetical method is used by this bureau and not the percentage of increase." The estimates given for the state are for April 15, rather than for July 1, the latter being the date of the annual estimates given out by the census bureau. This change is made for the reason that April 15 completes the five-year period since the last decennial census—the half way mark between that census and the coming one of 1920. In addition to the figures for population, the tabulation shows the detailed estimates on color, nativity, sex, foreign birth, males of voting age, literacy, school age, dwellings and families.

ANAHEIM GAZETTE ANNUAL INCREASE IN CALIFORNIA MINERALS YEAR 1914 A PROSPEROUS ONE IN ALL CLASSES OF THE MINING INDUSTRY PETROLEUM TAKES THE LEAD WITH AN INCREASE OF MORE THAN 5,000,000 BARRELS Mineral production in California during 1914 bids fair to show the usual increase in several departments. Figures are collected and published annually by the State Mining Bureau and are of inestimable value as the form a solid basis for investigation looking toward new developments in the state. The complete and accurate figures for 1914 are of course not yet available, as many producers have not completed their own annual reports. Enough data are at hand to warrant the following preliminary reports. Petroleum continues to hold the center of attention due to its great amount and value. Final figures will probably show a total production of nearly 104,000,000 barrels, an increase of some five million barrels over the previous year and the largest production yet recorded. The value is not apt to show a proportionate gain but will be about $49,000,000. Such a gain in production cannot be viewed as an unmixed blessing because about seven mil- There are over forty separate mineral substances produced in the state, and even under the severe business strain of the past year the total value will be almost one hundred billion dollars. Increased activity over a larger field is indicated for the coming year. SUPERVISORS LET 2 BRIDGE CONTRACTS Anaheim, Fullerton and Orange Officers Get Raise in Salary Bids were received for the construction of two bridges in Tustin road district by the board of supervisors on Tuesday last and the contract was awarded to W. J. German for $665 on bridge No.1, and $805 on bridge No.2. Demands on the county of Orange on the highway and hospital funds were allowed as read. The amended petition of H. W. Borden, et al to reduce the width of street in Olive road district, from 80 feet to 60 feet was granted. The Anaheim Bay pile trestle bridge was accepted as completed by Russell-Greene-Foell company. The board appointed W. E. Adkinson county game warden and fire warden at a salary of $100 per month, to commence Feb. 1, 1915. The petition of the Yoch company et al, to vacate portion of highway in Laguna road district was granted. The Pacific Tel. & Tel. Co. was authorized to install phones in the residences of C. E. Jackson, sheriff, J. R. Fowler, J. M. Gunnett and J. H. Iman, deputy sheriffs. The board accepted the Bay City road, section 1, as completed by S.C. Contracting company.

Final figures will probably show a total production of nearly 104,000,000 barrels, an increase of some five million barrels over the previous year and the largest production yet recorded. The value is not apt to show a proportionate gain but will be about $49,000,000. Such a gain in production cannot be viewed as an unimpeded blessing because about seven million barrels was not needed and went into storage where it continuously wastes and deteriorates. Profits to producers during the past six years have not increased in proportion with the amount of oil produced and less than one-third of the producing companies will this year pay dividends amounting to about five million dollars. The State Mining Bureau recently announced that it would issue monthly oil statistics which would give producers a better understanding of conditions and enable them to operate more profitable. The plan depended upon the co-operation of all the marketing concerns and as only a portion of them have consented, the publication will necessarily have to be postponed, or perhaps abandoned. Refusal to co-operate certainly does not prove that the welfare of the many producers is identical with that of the few marketers. Gold gave California her start towards prosperity and continued to be a very important mineral product. During the past year there has been considerable activity in developing old properties, which had been idle, and some incase over the production of the preceding year may be expected to bring the total yield to over $21,000,000. Continued work on old properties as well as search for new veins will undoubtedly be rewarded and considerably increase our annual production. Some estimates of the amount of gold, remaining buried in the ancient river channels, are as high as a billion dollars. At any rate it is certain that a great amount of gold remains and can be profitable extracted if legal restrictions can be altered to regulate hydraulic mining without throttling it. Copper has for many years been an important California product but the European war seriously interfered with shipments and some plants were closed down. The annual production therefore will probably be only about 26%. The petition of the Yoch company et al., to vacate portion of highway in Laguna road district was granted. The Pacific Tel. & Tel. Co. was authorized to install phones in the residences of C. E. Jackson, sheriff, J. R. Fowler, J. M. Gunnett and J. H. Iman, deputy sheriffs. The board accepted the Bay City road, section 1, as completed by S. C. Contracting company. The proposition of the Register Publishing company to furnish and distribute 1000 copies of the special edition of the Register at $.25 per copy was accepted. The petition of Alice Anderson, et al., for a county road 40 feet wide in Orange road district, was referred to the county surveyor. The county surveyor was given permission to install a Home phone in his office, and to hire a stenographer at $50 per month, and to purchase a typewriter. The petition of H. H. Lake, et al., for two lights in Garden Grove lighting district, was granted. The map of tract No. 25 was accepted as the official plotting of said tract. The district attorney was directed to take steps to secure two crossings for a county road over the Santa Fe railroad, in the town of Richfield. The reports of the persons appointed to take the census in Orange, Anaheim, Fullerton, Westminster and Huntington Beach townships, were received and ordered filed, and the salary of the Justice of the peace and constable of Orange township was fixed at $75 per month each, of Anaheim township at $50 per month each, and of Fullerton township at $50 per month each. The board adjourned to Feb. 2, 1915, at 10 a.m. MINERAL EXHIBIT The California State Mining Bureau will exhibit at the Panama International Exposition. About 400 square feet of floor space in the Mines and Metallurgy Building will be devoted to case exhibits of California's mineral products. Fletcher McN. Hamilton, state mineralogist, will detail from his staff a competent mining engineer whose duty it will be to furnish information to visitors as to the extent and value of our mineral resources. The Bureau would gladly take a more extensive part in the ex- the ancient river channels, are as high as a billion dollars. At any rate it is certain that a great amount of gold remains and can be profitable extracted if legal restrictions can be altered to regulate hydraulic mining without throttling it. Copper has for many years been an important California product but the European war seriously interfered with shipments and some plants were closed down. The annual production therefore will probably be only about 26,000,000 pounds valued at possible $3,000,000. One of the greatest drawbacks to the development of the copper industry has been the litigation over damage claimed from smelter fumes or smoke. The recent settlement of such a dispute, by an arbitration board of disinterested scientific men, gives promise that in the future facts rather than prejudice will decide such questions. Cement is turned out by several companies and is one of the important mineral products. Business depression, due to the war, cut seriously into the building business and, of course, reflected upon the cement industry which will show a decrease of possibly 20 per cent from the 1913 production. The total, however, will be five million barrels, valued at over six million dollars. Quicksilver production was stimulated to some extent because communication with some foreign supplies was interrupted by the war. However, the increase in price and its resultant activity may not have been in operation long enough to materially effect annual production. The total yield in 1914 was probably about 13,000 flasks valued at possibly $700,000.
