Entered at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter. DISTRIBUTION OF SURPLUS A difference of opinion exists between the members of the Orange County Highway Commission relative to the expenditure of the $240,000 remaining in their hands from the good roads bond issue. Commissioners Pixley and McFadden have submitted a report to the supervisors recommending that the entire sum be expended in the pavement of interior roads. Commissioner Newland disents from this recommendation and asks that a new bond issue of $500,000 be voted, much of which is to be placed upon the coast boulevard. Twelve sections of road are listed in the report of Messrs. Pixley and McFadden, the total mileage being 34.29. If this recommendation is accepted by the supervisors $100,000 of the surplus will be expended in the third supervisor district. As this district has been grossly discriminated against in the distribution of the $1,270,000 highway fund voted by the people, justice demands that it be given a generous share of the surplus remaining to be disbursed. The distribution of the bond issue was based on the assessed valuation of the four districts, in which the money was expended, but this district, which pays 40 per cent of the taxes of the county, received only 16 per cent of the fund, whereas the second district with a taxable valuation only one-third as great received a percentage almost three times as large. of all pines from Europe. During the past year imported pines have been found to be infested with the European pine shoot moth. In Europe this is one of the principal insect enemies of pines and is especially destructive in nurseries, young forests, and ornamental plantations. It kills or injures the young twig growth and deforms the tree to a serious extent. In this country the insect seems to be still confined to the European pines in Connecticut, Illinois, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and West Virginia. Strenuous efforts are already made to stamp it out and it is believed that these will be successful if no further importations of infested stock are permitted. The white pine blister rust has already resulted in the exclusion of all five-leafed pines from Europe and Asia. The proposed quarantine will extend this prohibition to all classes of pines from Europe. No restriction is placed on the importation of pine seed. MORE LIVE STOCK THAN A YEAR AGO Government Statistics Contradict Reports That Prices Will Soar For the first time in many years, information collected by the department shows that all classes of live stock in the United States are now increasing in numbers. Thus the real facts contradict, absolutely, sensational reports that prices for meat and shoes would rise to unprecedented figures in the immediate future. It has even been said that a government statistician predicted meat at 50 cents a pound and shoes at $10 a pair within the next two years. Such a prediction the real government statisticians say, is quite unwarranted. On January 1, for example, the num- United States is not dition to face such for years past.

Should Commissioner Newland's contention that $500,000 additional money be voted for extension of the coast boulevard practically all of it would be spent in the second district and thus further increase the disparity between the two districts. The expenditure of the entire surplus in the third district would fall far short of giving us a just proportion of the bond issue. To give several hundred thousand dollars more to the already heavily overbalanced section would be an outrage. Commissioner McFadden deserves unanimous endorsement of the people of the third district for the stand he has taken in this matter. If the majority report is accepted by the supervisors more than 40 per cent of the surplus will be spent in this district which will somewhat lessen the bitter feeling that exists because we were given such an unequal share in the original distribution. Commissioner Pixley is also to be commended for his recognition of our just claims. Commissioner Newland for a time stood for the expenditure of $160,000 of the surplus on the coast boulevard, but he has come in on a new tack, and now asks for a new bond election to vote $500,000 additional road bonds, which of course is altogether out of the question. Mr. Newland's minority report contains some 32 and 20-100ths miles of roadway along the coast boulevard, stretching from Bay City to Serra. It is difficult to say just what this coast boulevard will cost per mile, but it will, of course, be largely in excess of the cost of interior roads. The boulevard will cost probably $400,000. The suggestion that we vote bonds for this road at this time seems to us to be absurd and preposterous.

It was $83,000,000 more than in 1913, notwithstanding a loss of $300,000,000 in the value of the cotton crop, and it was more than double the value in 1899 of all farm products. Crop values consisted of $3,828,456,000 of animal products and farm animals sold and prepared for market, and $6,044,480,000 in grain and other products. The value of the principal farm crops this year was: Corn, $1,702,599,000; wheat, $878,680,000; hay, $779,068,000; cotton, $519,616,000; oats, $499,431,000; potatoes, $198,619,000; barley, $105,903,000; tobacco, $101,411,000; sweet potatoes $41,294,000; rye, $37,018,000; sugar beets, $27,950,000; rice $21,849,000; flaxseed, $19,540,000; buckwheat, $12,892,000. The value per acre of all enumerated crops averaged about $16.44 this year, compared with $16.2 in 1913 and $16.15 in 1912. Notwithstanding our enormous grain crops, wheat is quoted at $1.50 per bushel and corn at 75 cents per bushel in Chicago. These prices cannot be accounted for on any other basis than the demand of Europe for food consequent upon the war. QUARANTINE PINES Because of the danger to American nursery stock a public hearing was held February 2, 1915, at the Department of Agriculture to discuss a proposed quarantine on the importation. It is in fact pointed out by government statisticians that the market value of farm horses has actually declined to such an extent that the average is now about $8 a head less than a year ago. This decline is most noticeable in the cotton states and in those states which make a business of breeding horses for sale in other sections. Mules have declined even more than horses their value being now $11.50 per head less than a year ago. The explanation is to be found in the depression on account of the cotton situation in the south, which is the great market for mules. An improvement in this respect will do much to restore the demand for horses, so that government specialists, while ridiculing the notion of a horse famine, are convinced that farmers will find it profitable to use good work mares for breeding more stock. As for hides, the situation is not quite so clear, but even here there has been much gross exaggeration. From two-fifths to less than one-half of the leather used in this country is imported, about 25 per cent of the foreign hides coming from Argentina, 15 per cent from Canada, 11 per cent from Mexico, 8-1-2-per cent from European Russia, and 7-1-2-per cent from France. Since the outbreak of the war importations have shown a certain falling off, those for September, 1914, for example, being only 4,000,000 pounds instead of 46,000,000 pounds the year previous. There is, however, little reason to suppose that this decrease will be permanent or sufficient importance to create any real scarcity. Since the great bulk of the imported hides comes from countries that are not at war, shipments are not interfered with in any way, and the only new factor to be considered is the possibility of an increased demand by the warring countries. It is believed, however, that the ANAHEIM GAZETTE United States is now in a better condition to face such a situation than for years past. The tide, it seems, has turned. Instead of live stock steadily decreasing year after year, this year for the first time, as has been said, all classes show an appreciable increase. Including horses, mules, milch cows, beef cattle, sheep, and swine, there were on January 1, 1915, 7,712,000 more farm animals. In the United States than on January 1, 1914. The increase in the total value was $78.024,000, or 1.3 per cent. It is quite true that this increase is not yet proportional to the increase in population which is approximately 2 per cent; but the fact that there is an increase, that the tide seems definitely to have turned, is regarded as sufficient answer to alarming exaggerations and misleading figures. ANAHEIM DEFEATS WHITTIER BOWLERS Win Third Contest from Northern Town by 169 Pins Anaheim came into its own Monday night on the Club bowling alleys by defeating the Whittier team by a score of 2363 to 2194. Fisher of Anaheim carried away both high score, 202, and high average, 177. Whittier was short one of their best men, but they put up a fine game and gave the home boys a run for their money. This was the third game played and as each had previously won a game both were anxious to win the odd one. Fullerton plays Anaheim on the Club alleys next Friday night. The score by games was as follows: ANAHEIM—Wisser ... 140 151 145 Schaffer ... 163 144 169 Vanatta ... 134 175 157 Fisher ... 186 202 143 Cowan ... 137 166 151 Totals ... 760 838 765 WHITTIER— CALIFORNIA IS MECCA FOR THE WORLD California is the mecca for all tourists this year. The eyes of the country are on the Golden State and thousands upon thousands of Americans will for the first time see this playground of the United States, this Italy of America. This is the universal opinion of the advance guard of Americans who have already arrived. Former President of the American Steel and Wire company who arrived in Pasadena this week, and is at his winter home in that city, has the following to say about conditions in general and Southern California in particular. “This winter is bound to be the greatest tourist season California ever has known. I have never known so many Eastern people coming or preparing to come here. Florida lacks the climate and it has malaria; California has the climate and has no malaria. When people once get started to coming to California, they will continue to come year after year. “Regrettable as are the European war and other conditions that have brought about these good prospects for us here, the fact remains that California has long needed just some thing to give it the impetus it is now getting in the East. It is not hard to get people who have been here to return. They come year after year, once they have started. The difficult thing is to get them to come for the first time.” ROCHESTER MINING .DISTRICT The mining public will be interested in a report by Frank C.

ROCHESTER MINING DISTRICT The mining public will be interested in a report by Frank C. Schrader on the now famous gold camp of Rochester, Nevada, recently issued. The Rochester district, named by early prospectors from Rochester, N.Y., has been known for half a century to contain mineral deposits, both lodes and placers, which have been worked intermittently; but not until late in 1912, when large bodies of ore yielding $50 and $60 a ton were discovered, did the district attract widespread attention. Then followed a typical Nevada boom. In less than a month the lithitherio desolate canyon had a population of over 2,000, and more than a score of the properties were producing. The total shipments to September, 1914, exceeded $1,200,000, and from the nature of the deposits Rochester promises to be an important producing district for some years to come. Bulletin 580-M contains a concise account of the local geology and descriptions of the ore deposits in different parts of the district. The lode deposits are replacement veins, mostly in rhylolite, and resemble those in the Mother Lode region of California, both in mineral character and in mode and time of origin. Conditions influencing the persistence of the veins with depth are considered, and the conclusion is reached that whereas a few of the veins are likely to become lean at comparatively shallow depths, others promise to maintain or even increase their values for a considerable distance below the surface. The placer also resemble placers in the Sierra Nevada of California, as they include both surface gravels and gravels buried beneath lava flows. Descriptions of the placers in the different canyons are given. INCREASING BUSINESS A substantial increase in the income of the Olinda Land company, one of the leading corporations owning and operating oil properties, is revealed in the annual statement just received by stockholders. Covering the year 1914, it shows the gross income of the company to be $122,267, as compared with $104,139 for 1913. The company's oil production, 163,519 barrels, was then for previous years at once they have started. The difficult thing is to get them to come for the first time.

An attempt was made to blow the safe of the Santa Ana Steam Laundry, burglaries went through C.W. McNaught's house, thieves stole an overcoat from M.S. Squier's automobile and a raid was made on overcoats hanging in the anteroom of the Adventist church. At the laundry the burglar broke open the cash drawer and got $3. He hammered off the combination lock of the safe and put a charge of powder in the hole. The explosion failed to open the safe and the robber gave up in disgust. Even had he succeeded in breaking into the safe he would have found no coin.

Farm animals in the United States on January 1 were valued at $5,969,253,000. Department of Agriculture figures announced Tuesday show this total, an increase of $78,024,000, or 1.3 per cent over their value January 1, 1914. Horses numbered 21,195,000, an increase of 1.1 per cent over last year; were valued at $103.33 per head, and their aggregate value was $2,190,102.00. Mules numbered 4,479,000, an increase of .7 per cent; were valued at $112.36 per head, and aggregated $503,271,000 in value. Milch cows numbered 21,262,000, an increase of 2.5 per cent; were valued at $55.33 per head, and aggregated $1,176,838,000 in value. Other cattle numbered 37,067,000, an increase of 3.4 per cent; were valued at $33.38 per head, with an aggregate value of $1,237,376,000. Sheep numbered 49,956,000, an increase of .5 per cent; were valued at $4.50 per head, with an aggregate value of $224,687,000. Swine numbered 64,618,000, an increase of 9.6 per cent; were valued at $9.87 per head, with an aggregate value of $637,479,000. W. H. Byers of Los Angeles, was visiting at the home of L. Goble on Sunday. INCREASING BUSINESS A substantial increase in the income of the Oilinda Land company, one of the leading corporations owning and operating oil properties, is revealed in the annual statement just received by stockholders. Covering the year 1914, it shows the gross income of the company to be $122,267, as compared with $104,139 for 1913. The company's oil production, 163,519 barrels, was greater than for any previous year, although on account of the lower prices for oil the income last year was exceeded by 1911 and 1912. The principal sources of the company's income were its own production of crude oil, valued at $70,878, and the royalty from the production of the West Coast Oil company, a subsidiary of the Associated, to which it leases, amounting to $44,692. Resources of the company (which might be considered quick assets) are shown to be $23,600. This includes cash on hand of $7068; due for oil sold $10,359; and bills receivable $5000. The company redeemed $15,000 worth of bonds last year. Drilling expenses amounted to somewhat over $50,000, and pumping expenses to approximately $24,000. The book value of the company's stock December 31 is shown to have been 33.7 cents per share. The company recently resumed dividends at the rate of one-half of one per cent per quarter. A special train will run over the Santa Fe Saturday carrying Orange county boosters to San Diego. It will leave Santa Ann at 8 o'clock in the morning. The fare is $3.00. It was intended originally to start the train at Fullerton, but the north end has not responded very enthusiastically. Miss Mabel Blood of Santa Barbara, was visiting friends in Anaheim Sunday. CIVIC CENTER A mass meeting of citizens will be held at the high school auditorium on Tuesday evening next, at 7:30 o'clock, for the purpose of discussing a civic center and public park. Option upon the property adjointing the library, extending to Lemon street, has been secured, the total amount being nearly $65,000. An open discussion of these subjects will be had and an invitation is extended the general public to attend. MODEL WILL SHOW HOW RIVERS ARE MEASURED To show the way in which rivers are gaged—that is, how the volume of running streams is measured—by the United States Geological Survey, the exhibit maintained by the Survey at the Panama-Pacific Exposition, in San Francisco, will include a display of automatic gages, run by electricity, which record the fluctuating heights of water of an artificial river—one flowing through a tank. The work of measuring the flow of the various streams of the United States every day in the year and some of them several times a day affords an invaluable basis for the study of our water resources. Upon data thus obtained engineers depend in working out plans of water power development, irrigation, drainage—in fact, every project in which running water is a factor. FROM THE ORE TO THE FRYING PAN An instructive feature of the exhibit presented by the United States Geological Survey at the Panama-Pacific Exposition, in San Francisco will be a practical illustration of the stuff from which not "dreams" but common things are made—the ore or other raw material as it is obtained from the earth, and maps showing where it oc- National Cash Market the Place to get Quality and Quantity Delivery Free in Town J.
