AMERICAN SAVINGS BANK OF ANAHEIM A GOOD BANK TO BE WITH Simply earning money isn't saving money. Lots of men who live from hand to mouth are earning money. It is the saving, however, that counts. This bank is the home for savings. 4 per cent interest paid on term deposits compounded twice a year. WATER RESOURCES OF BUTTE, MONTANA Report by United States Geological Survey In many of the mining camps of the arid West water is very scarce, and adequate supplies are procured only by installing ingeniously devised and expensive systems, the water for some camps being conveyed through pipe lines from distant sources. This mode of conveyance has been employed in the important mining district of Butte, Mont., where, to supply the daily consumption of about 9,000,000 gallons, water is brought, partly by pumping and partly by gravity, from a maximum distance of nearly 30 miles. The citizens of Butte, the United States Geological Survey, in the fall of 1912 made an investigation of the supply of ground water in this basin and of the feasibility of developing it for industrial use and for irrigation. Immediately after the field work was completed a brief report was presented to the Butte Chamber of Commerce by O. E. Meinzer, who made the investigation, and his report was published in the monthly organ of the chamber. The survey now announces the publication of its series of "Contributions to the hydrology of the United States," of a more comprehensive report on the water resources of the Butte district. This report contains a detailed map of the upper Silverbowl basin and describes the sur We're Going AT THE SIGN OF CALL FOR CONVENTION To Members and All Live Stock Associations and Live Stock Producers Call is hereby made for the Eighteenth Annual Convention of the American National Live Stock Association, to be held in Hall A, first floor, of Exposition Memorial Auditorium, San Francisco, California, March 24, 25, 26, 1915; convening at 10 o'clock a.m. on Wednesday, March 24; morning sessions only. At our last annual meeting it was decided to hold our 1915 convention in San Francisco during the Panama-Pacific International Exposition at a live stock world. An unusually interesting program is being arranged. Officers of the Bureau of Animal Industry and the Forest Service, and other federal officials, will be present at our convention. Hon. Woodrow Wilson, President, will probably attend one of our sessions and deliver an address. Only morning sessions will be held, which will leave the afternoons and evenings for sightseeing.

At our last annual meeting it was decided to hold our 1915 convention in San Francisco during the Panama-Pacific International Exposition, at a date to be fixed by the Executive committee. It has been customary to hold our annual meetings in January, but, owing to the fact that the exposition does not open until February 20, 1915, it became necessary to fix a later date, and the Executive Committee, after considering the dates of other live-stock meetings to be held early in the year, selected the above as the most convenient for the majority of our members. The live stock industry was never confronted with more serious problems. It is passing through a very widespread attack of foot and mouth disease. Railroads are proposing largely to advance their rates on live stock and is products. Range conditions are yearly becoming more unsatisfactory. The cost of raising and maturing live stock has increased. Importations of meats have affected the prices. The war in Europe has seriously disturbed all commercial conditions in this country. Among the many subjects for consideration at our convention are: federal control of the semi-arid; unappropriated, public grazing lands; various land bills before Congress; administration of forest reserves; railroad rates and service; delays at terminals; cases pending before the Interstate Commerce Commission regarding live stock rates; valuation in live stock contracts; suppression of foot and mouth and other infectious diseases, and appropriation by Congress for same; sanitary regulations; meat inspection law; importation of live stock and meats; inspection of imported meats, hides and wool; prohibitive tax on olemargarine; financing of live-stock loans; reports of officers and standing committees. These and other questions will be discussed by men prominent in the esting program is being arranged. Officers of the Bureau of Animal Industry and the Forest Service, and other federal officials, will be present at our convention. Hon. Woodrow Wilson, President, will probably attend one of our sessions and deliver an address. Only morning sessions will be held, which will leave the afternoons and evenings for sightseeing. Very low rates have been granted to the exposition by the railroads from all points. Tickets on sale from and after March 1, return limit three months from date of sale. On all the railroad tickets a side trip to San Diego is granted to the other fair where the Panama California Exposition is being held during the entire year of 1915. The California Cattlemen's Protective Association will hold its annual meeting at the Exposition Memorial Auditorium on Tuesday March, 23, the day previous to our convention. That association has made extensive preparations for the entertainment of our members, delegates and their families. The exposition officials have designated March 26 as American Live Stock Association Day at the exposition grounds, and special entertainment features are being arranged for that day. During our convention there will be a live stock exhibit at the grounds. The Exposition Memorial Auditorium, where our convention will be held, occupies the entire block bounded by Grove, Larkin, Hayes, and Polk streets, in the Clivv Center, directly adjacent to Market street, and easily accessible from all points. The exposition grounds can be reached by car lines running direct from the Auditorium. This association will maintain an office in San Frisco from January 15, 1915, until after our convention, at room 504 Sharon building, 55 New Montgomery street, opposite the Palace hotel. Those desiring hotel reservations should write to Secretary Tomlinson, at the office, stating as nearly as possible the kind of accommodation desired.

Going to Do It? N OF THE BIG CLOCK YOUNG MEN MAKE NICE CLEAN-UP IN DICE GAME "Twenty-six" Worked on Unsuspecting Cigar Dealers, Who Were Handed Julcy Lemons A couple of dapper young men blew into town one day recently and in sauntering about engaged several of the cigar stand attaches in dice games called "26." It is said they cleaned up quite a wad of money by disposing of the cigars accumulated through and ten thousand pounds of seed were planted on the national forests in 1914. The government built more than two thousand miles of trail and three thousand miles of telephone line on the national forests in 1914. At least 25 per cent of the larch timber over large areas in eastern Oregon has been killed or weakened by mistletoe and the forest service is taking steps to combat the pest. Success has followed forest-planting on the sand hills of Nehmaka. Britlan, Canada and Australia. Other foreign countries have a total of 131 billion tons, India, Russia, South Africa, Austria. The table from which we quote includes only one of the countries on this side of the Atlantic. But in the United States we can clearly see that the real menace to this country in the coal industry is China, not only so far as its great reserve is concerned, but in its cost. The wages paid to miners are 8 to 9 cents a day, loaders 3 to 4 cents a day, carriers 2 to 4 cents a day will follow. A couple of dapper young men blew into town one day recently and in sauntering about engaged several of the cigar stand attaches in dice games called "26." It is said they cleaned up quite a wad of money by disposing of the cigars accumulated through their winnings, besides a snug sum of money in exchanging merchandise checks with the cigar stand owners at half price, receiving the real money. In playing the game, ten dice are used, and the man up names a certain numeral, say, ace, duce, tray, up to six. The smoothies pulled over what is technically called "palmming". For instance, if they called a six, one or two dice with the six held upwards in the palm of their hand would be deposited upon the show case along with the rest of dice when shaken out of the box. In this way they were always sure of 1 or 2, or maybe 3, at each shake. Those ratios in each frame, it is computed, will win nine times out of ten. The dapper young men would let their winnings accumulate, and it would not take long to get a box of cigars or a pocket-full of cigarettes. Or if they took checks, those would be cashed in for money at half price. There is no law prohibiting this, and consequently the young fellows plied their game unhindered. One cigar dealer has announced that if these young men return, they will be given a warm reception, as a couple of white hopes are being held in reserve to entertain them. FOREST NOTES It is estimated that the government's Grand Canyon game refuge, in Arizona, now contains about ten thousand deer. More than nine million young trees were planted on the national forests in 1914. The government built more than two thousand miles of trail and three thousand miles of telephone line on the national forests in 1914. At least 25 per cent of the larch timber over large areas in eastern Oregon has been killed or weakened by mistletoe and the forest service is taking steps to combat the pest. Success has followed forest planting on the sand hills of Nebraska. Jack pines planted there by the government forest service ten years ago now have a height of over 15 feet and a diameter of 4 inches. Increasing use of the national forests by local farmers and settlers to supply their needs for timber is shown in the fact that small timber sales on the forests numbered 8,298 in 1914, against 6,182 the previous year.

THE CHINESE MENACE Statistics show that China has a coal reserve in round numbers of 995 billion tons. This is only 20 billion tons less than that of Germany, Great foreign countries have a total of 131 billion tons, India, Russia, South Africa, Austria. The table from which we quote includes only one of the countries on this side of the Atlantic. But in the United States we can clearly see that the real menace to this country in the coal industry is China, not only so far as its great reserve is concerned, but in its cost. The wages paid to miners are 8 to 9 cents a day, loaders 3 to 4 cents a day, carriers 2 to 4 cents, mill rollers 10 to 21 cents, melters 29 cents, helpers 10 cents, blacksmiths 21 cents, common labor 7 cents a day. The prices quoted are the prices paid by the Hanyang Furnace and Mills Company—the owners of the largest mills in the Celestial Empire," if not in the world, and it has water transportation to the Pacific coast of the United States. The wages given are for a ten-hour day. With free trade it can readily be seen what it means to labor in this country. It spells ruin unless a protective tariff party is in power here—in the capitol and in the white house. Here is another reason every laboring man should vote the republican ticket in 1916 and over after—Marion (Ia) Register. FREE BAND CONCERT The Anabelim City Band has perfected arrangements for their grand free concert to be given at the high school auditorium tomorrow evening, Lincoln's birthday. A musical program of unusual interest has been arranged and the members are determined to give the public a concert seldom enjoyed. The band is one of the best in the southland, and have been repeatedly commended for their efficiency. Each member is a soloist, and it is not too much to say that all who come to the concert will be amply repaid for their attendance. The concert is without cost, and the band members want all their friends to turn out and hear the music. California Wine Co. Finest Brands of Wines and Liquors Always In Stock.

Geological Survey Studies Stream Flow of Rivers of New England and Middle Western States The rivers of the northeastern and middle eastern portions of the United States are the best known in the country and earliest in point of development, and their usefulness as sources of power and centers of industry has been demonstrated for several generations. Nevertheless it has been shown by the work of the United States Geological Survey during past years and is demonstrated in one of the reports of the survey that in spite of the long familiarity of manufacturers and industrial men in general with most of these rivers, the water resources they afford have not yet been appreciated and by no means developed to their fullest extent. In fact, there are very few rivers in this great region in which the development of water power has come anywhere near the maximum possible degree of usefullness. The report contains records of flow during several years of the principal rivers in New England, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Maryland, which empty into the Atlantic ocean. Beginning with the records of the St. John river basin, in the state of Maine, the report takes up successively all the principal streams and many of their important tributaries along the coast as far south as the Rapahannock, in Virginia. Among the records of interest is that of the Connecticut River at Orford, N. H., covering the years 1907 to 1909. It shows that the highest discharge for the three years occurred on April 16, 1909 when the river flowed 49,700 cubic feet per second. The highest discharge in the year 1908 was 36,700 cubic feet per second, on April 30; the maximum flow for the year 1907 was 40,600 cubic feet per second, on May 3. The record further shows that the lowest stage was recorded in the year 1908, when on September 28, only 288 cubic feet per second of water passed the Orford station.
