The areas which still remain in Government ownership are semi-arid, brush covered lands of little value for grazing and agricultural purposes but of practically no value for forest services. On June 9 the president signed a proclamation eliminating approximately 157,320 acres of land from the Sequoia national forest, California. This elimination was recommended by the secretary of agriculture after careful examination of the lands in question had been made by the Forest Service.

Under the opinion most of the township officers will get raises in salaries in August, or as soon as census reports are received by the Board of Supervisors. The 1910 census will be taken where it is clearly unlikely that a census now would make no difference in the classification. In several townships the census was taken last December. The reason why a raise of salary can be allowed during a term of office is that the township salaries are based upon population. Under the classification under the old law, Santa Ana and Orange townships have been paying $75 a month to their officers. Under the new classification Justice Cox and Constables Heard and Coleman of Santa Ana will be raised to $100 a month each, while Justice Armor and Constable Jackson of Orange will drop to $50. In several townships the new classification will make no change in compensation. In the small townships where $10 salaries have been paid the salaries go up to $25. The old and new classification follows: At present in townships with over 8000 population, $75 a month each; between 5000 and 8000, $50; between 2000 and 500, $25; under 2000, $10. Under the new law, in townships over 15,000 population, $100; between 10,000 and 15,000,$75; between 5000 and 10,000, $50; between 2500 and 5000, $40; under 2000, $25. In order to secure the raises it will be necessary for the census in several of the townships to be taken. It is probable that the Santa Ana township census will be asked for. In his communication to the district attorney's office, County Auditor Jerome requested an opinion as to whether or not the new salary law would apply to present incumbents in township offices. He also asked if the additional allowances for help are to be used proportionately throughout the year. The deputy district attorney's opinion follows: Replying to your favor of today, On June 9 the president signed a proclamation eliminating approximately 157,320 acres of land from the Sequoia national forest, California. This elimination was recommended by the secretary of agriculture after careful examination of the lands in question had been made by the Forest Service. The action is similar to that taken recently on the adjoining Sierra National Forest, where a considerable area was eliminated, and it follows out the general policy of the Forest Service to eliminate as rapidly as possible from all national forests such lands as are found to be chiefly valuable for agricultural purposes. SEEKING NEW HOMES Among the letters received daily by the California Development Board, asking for suitable locations for settlement in California, is an increasing number of inquiries from Canada. Most of these are isolated cases and are referred individually to the Chambers of Commerce in the counties about which they may inquire. A letter was this week received from Alberta which is so definite and important that it is being referred to all parts of the state, with the recommendation that specific offers be made these people in the hope of settling them on our lands. The following quotations from the letter show that they are in earnest. “There is here about a dozen or more farmers, who would like to settle somewhere down South. All of them have families and disposing of from two to twenty-five thousand dollars. “Most of them have been down in South America and they are of French descent. They have done quite well in this country. The principal reason why they want to leave this country is on account of the climate. “They are all good farmers and they know how to raise fruits as well as cereals. “They propose to send a couple of persons to see the places and investigate before disposing of their farms and move. “I was appointed to handle the correspondence; I am a farmer myself and will go along with them when we have found the right place. “Is there any place where we could settle in California?” Among these will matches, some of the Southland having vaudeville company cured, and a high rate will be maintained.

He also asked if the additional allowances for help are to be used proportionately throughout the year. The deputy district attorney's opinion follows: Replying to your favor of today, asking a written opinion as to whether the new county government bill, sofar as the same affects justices and constables, applies to present incumbents, I give it as my opinion that it does, depending upon population by census. "You also ask regarding the additional deputies allowed several officers in the county. I assume you include more especially to your own office and that of the tax collector, as the additional help allowed in other offices are paid by the month, and the question of proportion will not arise in those cases. "In my opinion, the additional help allowed in your office and that of the tax collector need not be calculated on the basis of a proportionate part of the year. This additional allowance of assistants may be expended in any part of the year, even in one month, if necessary." MORE LAND FOR SETTLERS On June 9 the president signed a proclamation eliminating approximately 85,000 acres of land from the Santa Barbara national forest, California. This elimination was recommended by the secretary of agriculture after careful examination of the lands in question had been made by the forest service. A large portion of the lands now eliminated has already been acquired by private parties either before their inclusion in the National forest or through forest homestead law. The "They are all good farmers and they know how to raise fruits as well as cereals.

WILL QUIT BUSINESS R. P. Schwerin, general manager of the Pacific Mail Steamship Co., makes the announcement that owing to the new Seaman's bill passed by the ast Congress, the company finds it impossible to meet competition, and for that reason all of its ships will be sold and the business dissolved. This means the end of the only American steamship company on the Pacific. The company now owns 13 ships with a book value of $11,298,000. It had planned four ships to cost $12,000,000, but cancelled the order when the Panama Canal act was put into effect. President Schwerin says that but for the Panama Act and the Seamans Bill the company would have built four ships for the South American trade at a cost of $3,000,000 each and four ships for the Pacific Orient trade the equal of the Imperator. The Seamans Act would add $902,042 to the cost of coastwise trade and $620,542 to the Oriental trade of the Pacific Mail. Lina Daniel has applied for letters of administration upon the estate of Pascual Daniel, who died on June 28, 1914. The estate, valued at $500 consists of four lots at Anselm. The heirs are the widow and nine children of the deceased. Melrose & Ames are attorneys for the petitioner. EAGLES PREPARE TO ENTERTAIN MULTITUDE BARBECUE AND PICNIC AT NEWPORT BEACH NEXT SUNDAY WILL BE A NOTABLE AFFAIR LOCAL AERIE HOST TO ALL OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA MEMBERS AND THEIR FRIENDS If their wires do not get crossed in the meantime, if a cataclysm of nature, such as a tornado, an earthquake, a tidal wave or a summer rain does not intervene and change their plans, the barbecue and picnic to be given by the Anaheim Eagles at Newport Beach next Sunday will be one of the biggest affairs of the kind ever pulled off in this region. Preparations have been making for a month by the local Eagles, and no expense is being spared to make the affair one that will long linger in the memory of the participants. There are in the neighborhood of twenty lodges in the Southland, all having a large membership, some of them numbering many hundreds, and all are making arrangements to attend in a body as guests of the Anaheim aerie. Los Angeles will run a special train down to the beach to carry its contingent, and it will probable have to be a long one to carry all who expect to go. A special will also be run over the S. P. from Anaheim, leaving here probably at eight o'clock.

Member Western Retail Lumbermen's Association Competent Builders Cheerfully Recommended After robbing the passengers in the observation car, the two next cars were entered and the passengers, numbering about 80, were also robbed. It is estimated that the robbers secured several thousand dollars in money and jewelry. As the train slowed down for a Pacific Electric crossing, the bandits jumped off the train and escaped in the darkness. Some passengers on the train engaged in a pistol duel with the robbers as they were getting away, but no one was hit. Several shots fired by the robbers hit the observation car. One passenger in the observation car was relieved of $500 in currency. A short while previously he had taken the money from his wife, who had been carrying the currency in a purse attached to a chain around her neck. ORANGE COUNTY PICNIC AT EXPERIMENT STATION Interesting Program Arranged by Head Of the Institution Dates for two of the summer picnics of citrus fruit men, which were very popular last year, have been arranged by Dr. H. J. Webber for this summer at the Citrus Experiment Station at Riverside. Cupid surely stubbed his toe when he guided a young Spanish couple from Placentia to the court house on Saturday. His guidance proved disastrous to Robert Contreras, aged 20, and Ida Reyes, 17. They could not get a license to wed. Miss Reyes' predicament is far more difficult than that of the ordinary young lady who goes to the county clerk's office and finds that the law prevents a license being issued to a girl under 18 or a man under 21. She said that she was run out at home that morning when it was found that she Assemblymen Lyon of Los Angeles and Burke of Santa Ana, both members of the order, have been engaged to speak. The barbecue is not given exclusively to members of the Order of Eagles. All their friends are invited and that includes almost every body, as these birds are popular wherever they are located. That the Anaheim boys will prove genial, hospitable and popular hosts is a foregone conclusion in the minds of all who know them. In addition to the special train load that will leave the S. P. station here in the morning many are making preparations to go down in autos. The beach at Newport is an admirable place for a picnic and many are held there, but it has never witnessed a jollier bunch than the one that will assemble on its sands next Sunday. TWO BOLD BANDITS HOLD UP S. P. TRAIN Local Residents Among Passengers Relieved of Money and Jewelry The first section of the Southern Pacific day train running between San Francisco and Los Angeles was held up by two bandits early Friday evening at a point between Chatsworth and Burbank. Mr. and Mrs. Earl Abbey of this city were among the passengers who were robbed. A gold watch and chain and a sum of money was taken from the former and a diamond ring was taken from Mrs. Abbey. After leaving Chatsworth two armed bandits entered the observation car at the rear of the train, and with an oath, one of the robbers commanded the passengers, about twelve in number; to line up and permit to be searched. The robbers compelled a brakeman to walk along between them. One carried a sawed-off shotgun and the other a Colt's revolver. ORANGE COUNTY PICNIC AT EXPERIMENT STATION Interesting Program Arranged by Head Of the Institution Dates for two of the summer picnics of citrus fruit men, which were very popular last year, have been arranged by Dr. H. J. Webber for this summer at the Citrus Experiment Station at Riverside. The Covina growers will be there on Saturday, June 19, and the following Saturday, June 26, has been appointed for the Orange county growers. The mornings will be given over to a study of the field work in fertilization, irrigation, etc. and to a visit to a grove which is being subjected to experiments with a view to its rejuvenation. After luncheon, talks will be given by the various experts in charge of the work of the station. County Horticultural Commissioner Bishop is boosting for a large attendance on Orange county day, June 26. He says that at that time much of the experimental work will be in a good condition for the growers to see and the experimenters will be ready to explain the work. It will be necessary for the growers to get themselves to the Experiment Station and to provide their own luncheon. The Experiment Station people will do the rest. It is hoped that there will be at least 100 go from this county. Parties from Anaheim and vicinity who desire to attend should communicate with G. W. Sandilands at the packing house of the Anaheim Citrus Fruit Growers' association. COST OF WAR Alexander F. Ribot, the French minister of finance, introduced a bill in the Chamber of Deputies, providing for the appropriation of 500,000,000 francs provisionally for the require- from Placentia to the court house on Saturday. His guidance proved disastrous to Robert Contreras, aged 20, and Ida Reyes, 17. They could not get a license to wed. Miss Reyes' predicament is far more difficult than that of the ordinary young lady who goes to the county clerk's office and finds that the law prevents a license being issued to a girl under 18 or a man under 21. She said that she was run out at home that morning when it was found that she intended to marry. She and Contreras were told to get married if they could, but not to come back to the Reyes domicile. They could not get married. She cannot return home. That is the truth of the situation. When the couple left the court house they said they did not know where she would live. Contreras said that his parents at San Gabriel would sign a consent to his marriage, but he thought it impossible to get the girl's father or mother to sign. The storm that broke loose in fury Saturday when the intentions were announced convinced him that it was not worth while going back to the girl's home to plead for a signature to the consent affidavit. "We can do nothing for you," said Deputy County Clerk Backs, hardening his heart to his duty under the law. "When you bring back the consent of a parent each of you, signed before a notary, the license will be issued, not before." The German soldiers have a way particularly their own, of entertaining themselves with films, which also afford them an opportunity to boost the fatherland. When they take possession of a town they make themselves thoroughly at home and request the local motion picture exhibitor to open his theater to the public.
