STANDARD OIL CO. PALACE OF MINES Great Interest Taken In Their Display At the Exposition Showing What Is Doing in Oil Industry That petroleum has done much to advertise California is apparent from the large numbers of visitors from other states who each day at the Exposition head immediately for the exhibit of the Standard Oil company when they visit the Palace of Mines. Almost invariably oil men of California or elsewhere make this exhibit their objective point. By far the greater number of visitors, however, are people who have heard of this state's wonderful gusher well, but whose actual first hand knowledge of petroleum deals only with its refined products. Every exhibit in this Standard Oil company booth whether a refined product ready for delivery to the consumer, or a working model of an oil field, is an illustration of this company's activities—shows what it has done and is now doing in California's great oil industry. In every branch of the oil industry the company is active, and in its exhibit no phase of its business is slighted. "When this display was being prepared the belief ruled that the chief purpose of an industrial exposition is properly educational," explained one of the company's officials. "Accuracy was the watchword, and as a result every one who visits this display is afforded opportunity to learn facts and truth relative to California's petroleum industry. The entertainment at the same time afforded will vary in degree with the visitor's tastes and interests, but it is unlikely that anyone will not find the exhibit well worth the time he or she chooses to give it. And of course we hope everyone will and continue over top of the hill. At the bottom of the hill turn sharply to the left for a quarter of a mile, when you will strike the main Brea conyon road. Beyond this point the road is rough for a short distance only.—Brea Progress. EUROPE IN APRIL 1815 AND EUROPE AS SHE IS TODAY While the boundaries of Europe today are trembling in the balance of war it is interesting to contrast the Europe of April 1, 1815, with the Europe of April 1, 1915. Then Europe was at war just as it now. Then one great nation was standing off a host of allies just as today the brunt of the present war falls on one great power against a field of allies. The same five great European nations that are at war now were fighting then. Only the lineup was different. Then it was Europe—Great Britain, Prussia, Austria and Russia—against France and Napoleon. Then, as now, the vast armies of the allies were making ready for a spring campaign of invasion, and much as is the case today, the fields within present Belgium were first choice for a war theatre. Moreover, a century of politics and diplomacy have made little change in the question about which wars are waged in Europe. One important difference, was that the Europe of April 1, 1815, had about progressed, through a score of years of trouble, to a state of dissatisfied peaceful exhaustion. Napoleon made his Waterloo campaign in the spring of 1815, and by July 18 it had been decided in the favor of the allies. During the great emperor's banishment to Elba the powers that had brought about his abdication and in whose hands the settlement of Europe's troubles lay.

"Accuracy was the watchword, and as a result every one who visits this display is afforded opportunity to learn facts and truth relative to California's petroleum industry. The entertainment at the same time afforded will vary in degree with the visitor's tastes and interests, but it is unlikely that anyone will not find the exhibit well worth the time he or she chooses to give it. And of course we hope everyone will come and see it. "Petroleum, in some form or other, is so great a factor in the present epoch that practically no one is not in a measure dependent upon it. While this exhibit is in part of a technical nature, the most of it will be readily understood by the average visitor. Attendants are here to answer questions and will gladly assist the visitor in his pursuit of knowledge having to do with the company products, their uses, and with the various phases of the industry." WHY NORMAL BUSINESS IS SO POOR Business Men and Wage Earners Know The Reason and What the Remedy Is The war had not begun before the markets of this country were flooded with the products of German and English and French mills and factories, great quantities of which were ready to be poured in here as soon as the tariff schedule was completed. These goods have been accumulating dust on the shelves of retail houses and in the lofts of warhouses ever since the war started, for no other reason than that they could not be sold even at the low prices asked to people who had been put out of jobs because of the stagnant condition of the market. Every nation at war has since sought goods here, but it is hard to find in the list of things sought by them one product imported by them before the war. Business men are going broke to keep up their payrolls. Wage earners are giving up homes and migrating to the towns where war goods orders have caused a temporary boom, because in those communities only they may hope to find immediate employment. Business men and wage earners alike are aware of the immense quantities of stock accumulated in factories before the war while the markets of the country were helsing. Napoleon made his Waterloo campaign in the spring of 1815, and by July 18 it had been decided in favor of the allies. During the great emperor's banishment to Elba the powers that had brought about his abdication and in whose hands the settlement of Europe's troubles lay placed the work of reorganizing boundaries, the remaking of the map, before a congress which was called at Vienna in September, 1814. The efforts of this congress became an indefinite series of moves for impossible bargains, and its deliberations had almost resulted in war among the bargainers, when Napoleon returned from Elba and began his march on Paris March 1, 1815. Thus stimulated, the congress hastened with its task and, by June 9, the final act embodying the treaties of Vienna was signed. The map of Europe April 1, 1815, then, was as indeterminate a thing as is that map today. France had been crowded back within the borders of Roman Gaul. Her boundaries were the Pyrenees in the south, Piedmont, Savoy, Switzerland and Baden on the west, and the Netherlands and Prussia on the northeast. It was the France of Louis XV, the France of before the revolution, and it had lost the Netherlands, a great section of central Germany, which Napoleon had included in the empire. But April 1 the little corporal was planning to defeat the armies of England, Prussia, Russia and Austria in detail and to re-establish his imperial France. While the congress in Vienna had not reached final action in its work, the boundaries of the new German confederation had practically been decided. The new confederation included all of German Europe, with the exclusion of the Netherlands and Denmark. Austria was given the presidency of the federal diet. The former grand duchy of Warsaw was made a constitutional kingdom under the Russian crown, and the congress confirmed Russia's possession of Finland, which it had conquered from Sweden in 1808. Swedish Pomerania was ceded to Prussia. The modern German empire, with the exclusion of Austria and the addition of the province of Schleswig, German Poland and Alsace-Lorraine, is defined an air line but a stage road.

Business men and wage earners alike are aware of the immense quantities of stock accumulated in factories before the war while the markets of the country were being flooded with European imports. They know why normal business is, with few exceptions so poor. They seek no artificial advantages over other countries, but they demand equal opportunities with other countries to earn enough to live decently, as Americana understand that term, and they have come to know that such opportunities are not to be had when the tariff on imports is low. Consequently they will continue to demand a better tariff until they again feel the throb of industrial prosperity. They are convinced now that the Underwood tariff advocates didn't know what they were talking about when they claimed that the reason for high prices was the high tariff, and they don't intend to be fooled soon again. —American Economist. BREA CANYON BLOCKED It is now practically impossible to go through the Brea canyon by the usual route, as the road is blocked while paving is being laid. Parties from points in this county who wish to go through Brea canyon should go as follows: East from Fullerton on Chapman avenue to the Chapman corner two miles out. Then north to the point where the road curves to the east. After making curve take first main traveled road to the left, which will lead northward through the Amalgamated lease to the Stearns camp of the Union Oil company. Here go through yard past big barn Denmark. Austria was given the presidency of the federal diet. The former grand duchy of Warsaw was made a constitutional kingdom under the Russian crown, and the congress confirmed Russia's possession of Finland, which it had conquered from Sweden in 1808. Swedish Pomerania was ceded to Prussia. The modern German empire, with the exclusion of Austria and the addition of the province of Schleswig, German Poland and Alsace-Lorraine, is defined by the boundaries placed by the Vienna congress to the German confederation. Thus the tentative rearrangement of a post-Napoleon Europe stood through April, while the emperor of the French was feverishly engaged in raising and equipping armies with which to meet his enveloping enemies. It was only by his remarkable enterprise that he was able to get together an army of 360,000 by June 1. In the meantime, an Austrian army of 210,000 had been assembled upon the Rhine frontier, and a Russian army of 150,000 was moving up to co-operate with the Austrians. Another Austrian force menaced from the southeast, and the Prussian and English armies were concentrated in Belgium. Napoleon began his final strategic moves June 6. Since the overthrow of Napoleon and the work of the congress of Vienna, the changes in Europe have been those making toward the unification of like peoples. Thus the two great changes were the establishment of the German empire and of the kingdom of Italy. Italy was formed by the congress of Vienna as a crazy quilt of small states, largely under the dominance of Austria. France found herself within her historic boundaries, with the excitable unquiet of democratic leaven. Russia emerged as an equal member of the Euorpean concert of powers, and Great Britain began her career as the no saline beds were data obtained in the much of the survey scientific value. chemical study has muds from one of Hicks, and the recent survey presentation of muds from —issued as professor This report shows a high percentage only a small part is soluble in water. chemical study includes a large part of the muds has been abatement and is held in form.

Holland was confirmed in the possession of Belgium, and Sweden was compensated for her loss of Finland by having Norway given to her. Denmark lost the continental end of her territory to the Germans. GOLD DEPOSITS IN ALLEGHANY DISTRICT, CALIFORNIA The mines in the Alleghany district in the southwestern part of Sierra county, Cal., are of interest not only on account of the extreme richness of the ore, some of which may contain as much of $100,000 to the ton in gold, but also because of the problems they offer in the study of vein formation. The mines in this section were visited by Henry G. Ferguson, of the United States geological survey, and his report has been published by the survey as Bulletin 580-I. The Alleghany district lies within the Tahoe National forest, but its more accessible parts, though once heavily timbered, have been almost completely denuded. Difficulty of access has been a serious handicap to the mining industry. Nevada City, the nearest railroad station, is 25 miles distant in an air line but about 40 miles by stage road. This district was among those first discovered in the early days of California gold mining. At first the rich river bars absorbed the attention of the miners. After the bars were exhausted, work was largely confined to the gravels, and hydraulic mining, followed by drift mining, was at first the principal occupation of the camps. Lode mining was carried on meanwhile in a desultory way and occasionally and water forms that the Buffalo students will be able to derive from the interpretation of these maps will be a valuable part of the training that aims to send them out into the world with their oyes open. The survey has since its organization in 1879 been continuously engaged in making such maps. So far it has surveyed topographically about 1,200,000 square miles. The maps are published on sheets of uniform size, showing rectangular areas that are called quadrangles. The quadrangles, of which nearly 2,300 have been mapped, differ in size according to the scale used. The maps are printed in three or four colors and show in minute detail not only the topography of the areas mapped but also roads, railways, towns, villages, and even individual houses existing at the time of the survey. These maps are unsurpassed in accuracy and are in great demand for many purposes, the average number sent out daily by the survey being over $1,500. GERMANS PROVE GOOD HIKERS The prodigious marches accomplished by some of the German troops, especially before the battle of Tannenberg and in the last battle of the Masurian lakes, have moved a historian to make interesting comparisons with famous marches of other days. He concludes that no troops have ever before made such a record in this respect as the soldiers now in the armies in the east. An average march, he says, is 20 to 21 miles, but after three days a day of rest is observed if this place has been kept. On the famous retreat of the 10,000 Greeks under Xenophon after the battle of Kunaxa in 401 B.C. from near Babylon to Trapezunt, on the big government land opening. In a letter received from T. A. Johnson of Callpatria, he says that after talking with government representatives who have been in Imperial valley not only investigating surveys but the withdrawn lands, he advises that in the very near future some of the finest lands of the Imperial valley, which was originally withdrawn on account of the Yuma project is to be thrown open again to settlers. It seems there are a few entrymen who had filed on their land previous to withdrawal who will be given some priority-right, but from men who know, there seems to be about 10 to 12 per cent of the fine lands around Callpatria, between the Salton Sea and the High Line, Niland and the Third Standard, that are going to be thrown open. The exact scheme is not yet known; whether the government will cut down to 80 acre tracts; whether they will auction it off, or how it will be done; but the government has engineers investigating it. Parties are going to Callpatria almost daily and on Sunday especially, and go out from there in automobiles looking at these lands. There are going to be some lucious plums for somebody, and these lands have water from the canals and laterals of No. 3 Water company flowing on all sides of them. No. 3 Water company is very anxious to have the government open these lands, so that the great volume of water they have brought through the north end will all have users in the near future. The merchants and the citizens of the new baby town of Callpatria are very anxious to have these lands filled with actual settlers, producing crops, it will increase the volume of bus- This district was among those first discovered in the early days of California gold mining. At first the rich river bars absorbed the attention of the miners. After the bars were exhausted, work was largely confined to the gravels, and hydraulic mining, followed by drift mining, was at first the principal occupation of the camps. Lode mining was carried on meanwhile in a desultory way and occasionally masses of rich ore were taken from the veins. The history of the camp as an important producer began in 1907 with the rediscovery of the Tightner vein by H. L. Johnson. It is impossible to obtain any figures showing the output from the quartz veins of the district distinct from the placers. An estimate has been made that the yield up to 150 from quartz mines in the entire Colfax quadrangle has not exceeded $10,000,-000. Probably half of this was derived from mines in the vicinity of Alleghany. From 1903 to 1912 the production of the lode mines of the district was more than $700,000. A copy of the report may be obtained free on application to the Director of the survey, Washington, D.C. POTASH IN THE MUDS OF COLUMBUS MARSH, NEVADA In searching for a domestic source of potash in the United States, the geological survey has explored more or less thoroughly a number of the desert basins in the west. Among the regions investigated is the mud flat known as Columbus Marsh, which lies midway between Reno and Tonopah, Nev., and has an area of about 35 square miles. Nine shallow wells have been sunk in this marsh and the borgings and waters have been examined for potash. Though commercial quantities of potash were not found and no saline beds were encountered, the data obtained in the exploration, like much of the survey work, have a scientific value. A more extensive chemical study has been made of the muds from one of the wells by W. B. Hicks, and the results are given in a recent survey publication—Composition of muds from Columbus Marsh—issued as professional paper 95-A. This report shows that the muds contain a high percentage of potassium, only a small part of which, however, U.S. S.FIRMS EAGER TO GIVE "DIVINE SARAH" AN ARTIFICIAL LEG An order for an artificial leg for Sarah Bernhardt is the international prize for which two American manufacturers are striving. When a Washington firm announced it was sending an agent abroad to capture the business in artificial legs and arms created by the war a Baltimore rival declared its representative would endeavor to begin the boom in this American Industry with an order from the celebrated actress. Experts from both houses are now on their way to Paris to land the order. It is stated that not less than 250,000 artificial legs are required for men already crippled in the European war. HOME DESTROYED BY FIRE Fire at Garden Grove Thursday afternoon totally destroyed a seven-room house recently purchased by John W. Freeman of Santa Anna, causing a loss among famous marches of other days. No includes that no troops have ever before made such a record in this respect as the soldiers now in the armies in the east. An average march, he says, is 20 to 21 miles, but after three days a day of rest is observed if this place has been kept. On the famous retreat of the 10,000 Greeks under Xenophon after the battle of Kunaxa in 401 B.C. from near Babylon to Trapezunt, on the Black Sea, the average day's march was 16 3-4 miles, but this average was secured by several forced marches of 27 1-2 miles, and the normal day's march was about 15 1-2 miles. A striking accomplishment was that of Napoleon's Guards, who covered 110 miles in six days on their march to take part in the battle of Jena, and that over bad roads through the Thuringian forest. The Ninth German army corps, with exhausting marches behind it, covered 46 miles from the vicinity of Blols to Orleans in 36 hours on Dec. 16 and 17, 1870, over a muddy road and was ready to fight the next day. One East Prussian regiment marched 123 miles in five days to join Hindeburg's army, and took part in the battle of Tannenberg in the afternoon of the fifth day without stopping to rest. U.S. S.FIRMS EAGER TO GIVE "DIVINE SARAH" AN ARTIFICIAL LEG An order for an artificial leg for Sarah Bernhardt is the international prize for which two American manufacturers are striving.

QUESTION CLEARED UP Anaheim Readers Can no Longer Doubt the Evidence Again and again we have read of strangers in distant towns who have been cured by this or that medicine. But Anaheim's pertinent question has always been "Has anyone here in Anaheim been cured?" The word of a stranger living a hundred miles away may be true, but it cannot have the same weight with us as the word of our own citizens, whom we know and respect, and whose evidence we can so easily prove. Mrs. Backs, 228 N. Lemon St., Anaheim, says: "My back and kidneys troubled me. When on my feet, I was worse and colds and overwork increased the suffering. I felt tired and lame and run down. All the pains and aches yielded to Doan's Kidney Pills, and made me feel like a different person. Since then I have never..." no saline beds were encountered, the data obtained in the exploration, like much of the survey work, have a scientific value. A more extensive chemical study has been made of the muds from one of the wells by W. B. Hicks, and the results are given in a recent survey publication—Composition of muds from Columbus Marsh—issued as professional paper 95-A. This report shows that the muds contain a high percentage of potassium, only a small part of which, however, is soluble in water. The results of the chemical study indicate further that a large part of the potassium in the muds has been absorbed from solution and is held in a loosely combined form. This condition may account for the apparent disappearance of the potassium from the salines of the desert basin region, and should have a bearing on future exploration for potash. GOVERNMENT MAPS A PART OF HIGH SCHOOL EQUIPMENT The United States geological survey probably comes into touch with more people in the United States through its function as a map making establishment than in any other way. The latest instance of the use of the government maps in popular education is an item in the specifications for equipping a high school in Buffalo, N. Y., which were recently submitted to contractors for bids. This item is a list of 25 to 60 copies of each of 23 maps; also a complete set of maps of areas in New York state to make a large wall map. Among the areas which the Buffalo young people are thus to have the opportunity of studying in detail are the Niagra Gorge, the Delaware Water Gap, the cities of New Orleans, Duluth, Philadelphia, New York, Boston and Washington and parts of the coast differing so greatly as Boothbay, Maine; Atlantic City, N. J., and the Mississippi Delta. Knowledge of the origin of such varied land HOME DESTROYED BY FIRE Fire at Garden Grove Thursday afternoon totally destroyed a seven-room house recently purchased by John W. Freeman of Santa Ann, causing a loss of $1200, not covered by insurance. Freeman and his family were engaged in moving into the house, which was located about a mile east and three-quarter north of Garden Grove. Clarence Freeman, 13-year-old son of the owner of the house, went inside and lighted a coal oil stove. A few moments later, and after the boy had come outside, there was an explosion and the house was soon a mass of roaring flames. The structure was burned to the ground. The first load of effects, consisting of all the Freeman family's clothing, bedding and groceries worth about $15, which had been moved into the house, was destroyed. Neighbors did all they could to save the house, but the flames had too much headway. FOR SALE—Extra fancy strong, healthy Valencia orange trees. Buds selected for best bearing groves.

Victoriano Huerta intended to go to Vera Cruz when he left Cadiz recently. It is accepted as a fact in circles where Huerta is known. His Spanish friends believe, the former dictator of Mexico is going back to inaugurate a movement to regain his lost power. "The United States is about to grab Mexico," he told a number of his friends, "and I am going back to rally all Mexicans regardless of party and faction, to resist intervention to the utmost." Wm. E.
