HEAVY CEMENT INDUSTRY IN 1915 86,524,500 BARRELS SHIPPED DURING YEAR, SLIGHT INCREASE OVER 1914 DEPRESSION IN BUSINESS CAUSED SHORTAGE IN OUTPUT AT FIRST PART OF YEAR An estimate of Portland cement produced in the United States in 1915, just made by Earnest F. Burchard, indicates that the shipments from the mills amounted to 86,524,500 barrels, compared with 86,437,956 barrels in 1914, an increase of 0.1%; the production was about 85,732,000 barrels, compared with 88,230,170 barrels in 1914, a decrease of 2.8%; and the stocks of finished cement at the mills were about 11,583,000 barrels, compared with 12,893,863 barrels in 1914, a decrease of 10.2%. The slight decrease in production and the considerable decrease in stock indicate greater caution in the industry, which in the preceding few years showed a tendency toward over production. The Lehigh district, which produces nearly 30% of the domestic cement, shipped 24,500,000 barrels, produced 24,860,000 barrels, and stocked 3,460,000 barrels in 1915, showing increases, respectively, of 2.2%, 1%, and 10.9% over the corresponding totals. TEACHER'S EXAMINATIONS The county board of education has granted teachers' certificates to the two applicants who were successful in the teachers' examinations given some time ago. One of the certificates went to Horace A. Moors, who has been teaching at Orange on a temporary certificate, and the other to Miss Edith Sharratt, a graduate of the Huntington Beach Union high school. Recommendations were made to the state board of education that life diplomas be given Miss Ethel Dwyer, a teacher at Ocean View, Miss Mary A. Grimshaw of Anaheim, and Frederic L. Tover of Huntington Beach. The advantage of a life diploma is that when a teacher moves to another county to teach, the diploma can be recorded and takes the place of a certificate, which costs $2. A life diploma may be given when a teacher has had forty-eight months successful teaching. High school certificates were given to Jessie K. Faulkner and Arthur H. Daniels. Special certificates went to Mary E. Morgan of Fullerton and Fern D. Clark of Orange. Grammar certificates were issued to Christine Schenck, who teaches in Vinland and to Grace E. Birtcher, Anaheim.

New York state shipped 5,236,500 barrels, produced 5,097,000 barrels and held in stock 825,000 barrels. These figures represent decreases, respectively, of 4.3%, 13.4%, and 15.1% compared with 1914. Ohio and western Pennsylvania shipped 7,400,000 barrels, produced 7,200,000 barrels, and had 750,000 barrels in stock. These estimates represent decreases of 0.9%, 5.2% and 38.8%, respectively, compared with 1914. Michigan and northeastern Indiana shipped 5,545,000 barrels, produced 5,550,000 barrels, and held stocks of 650,000,000 barrels. The first two quantities represent increases of 7.5% and 6.4%, respectively, and the third a decrease of 4.3%. Southern Indiana and Kentucky shipped 2,780,000 barrels, produced 2,840,000 barrels, and had 490,000 barrels in stock, the first two quantities representing decreases of 5.2% and 3.1% and in the third an increase of 12.5%. The Illinois and northwest Indiana district shipped 10,825,000 barrels, produced 10,200,000 barrels, and had stocks of 1,511,000 barrels. These figures show decreases of 4.3%, 11.6%, and 29.2%, respectively, as compared with 1914. Iowa and Missouri occupied third place in 1915, with total shipments of 9,200,000 barrels, production of 9,250,000 barrels and stocks of 1,290,000 barrels. These figures representing increases of 3% and 3.3% and a decrease of 12.4% respectively, as compared with 1914. The Pacific coast district showed shipments of 5,867,000 barrels, production of 5,712,000 barrels, and stocks of 880,000 barrels, or decreases of 16.8%, 19.5%, and 11%, respectively. Cement plants in Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and central Texas showed total shipments of 6,545,000 barrels, production of 6,378,000 barrels, and stocks of 786,000 barrels, increases of THE RED DESERT West of Creston is obtained the first comprehensive view of the Red Desert of Wyoming. A few miles north of the railroad track is a great stretch of sand dunes, which extends 100 miles from Green River to North Platte river. The dunes, many of them more than a hundred feet high, are constantly traveling with the prevailing winds in a general easterly direction. If a few camels and an Arab or two were added to the scene, the spectator could easily imagine himself in the Sahara desert. Frequent mirages, endless variety of feature, and wonderful coloring make the desert far from the monotonous stretch it may seem to be at first glance. As the name suggests, the dominant colors are red—russet, brick-red and vermilion—but there is every tone of gray and brown, with not a few shades of green, purple, and yellow. Unlike the colors of an eastern American landscape, those of the Red Desert are not dependent on the season; for there is little vegetation to hide the coloring of the rocks and soil. Despite the sparsity of vegetable growth, the Red Desert is a winter sheep range. The scattered bunch grass which looks so meager and dry is in fact excellent forage, curing into hay where it grew and having a high nutritive value. In summer when the desert is dry and water holes are scarce, the sheep are herded in the mountains where water is abundant and grass is green and tender. The early snows falling first in the higher mountains and extending week by week to lowe raltitudes drive the flocks into the rough fall range between the mountains and the desert. Here they are held until the snow falls on the desert itself, but with the first heavy snowfall they are driven from the foothills to spend the winter in the open where they find pasture in the spaces cleared of snow by the winds. The winds are not tempered here, but neither is the lamb shorn, and Wyoming winter winds make heavy wool when shearing time comes. It may be noted that the great problem of stock raising in this western country is not so much to find pasturage—although the range has factory as a sort of mud is by weight contains important juice which were from the soil. Suitable as plant fumigation waste lime may be much as a dollar plant foods in an area which is its chief waste lime will be two-thirds as much good limestone or very finely divided easily with the quickest than grows relatively much. "Though it has value this material a corrective for adding heavy soils we be distinctly unaware soils are improved," California applied with this effect. "The chief exime lime will probably hauling. When it great it should obtainable. After to crumble easily should be one o'clock which apply to amendment."

The Pacific coast district showed shipments of 5,867,000 barrels, production of 5,712,000 barrels, and stocks of 880,000 barrels, or decreases of 16.8%, 19.5%, and 11%, respectively. Cement plants in Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and central Texas showed total shipments of 6,545,000 barrels, production of 6,378,000 barrels, and stocks of 786,000 barrels, increases of 8.8% and 2% and a decrease of 23.9%. In Colorado, Utah, Montana and western Texas, the shipments approximated 2,475,000 barrels, the production 2,525,000 barrels, and the stocks 300,000 barrels, decreases of 10.2%, and 6.4% and an increase of 42.5%, compared with 1914. In the two southeastern districts, excellent showings were made in the cement industry. In Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia the shipments were 3,150,000 barrels, an increase of 12.8%, the production was 3. barrels, an increase of 12.9%, and the stocks were 348,500 barrels, an increase of 4.8%. On Tennessee, Alabama, and Georgia the shipments were 3,000,000 barrels, an increase of 16.4% the production was 2,975,000 barrels, an increase of 11.3%, and stocks amounting to 292,500 barrels, a decrease of 23.7%. The general prices averaged a few cents lower per barrel in 1915 than in 1914, although toward the end of the year they were considerably higher. The statistics show that the general volume of business was about the same as in 1915, though it was not uniformly distributed throughout the year. During the early part of the year the demand for cement was not great and in some districts the industry was depressed during the summer by excessive rainfall, but in the last four months or more a decided change for the better has occurred both in demand and prices, so that from the foothills to spend the winter in the open, where they figd pasture in the spaces cleared of snow by the winds. The winds are not tempered here, but neither is the lamb shorn, and Wyoming winter winds make heavy wool when shearing time comes. It may be noted that the great problem of stock raising in this western country is not so much to find pasturage—although the range has been greatly overstocked—as to find water. This is true not only in the Red Desert but in almost every grazing area throughout the semiarid states. Places at which stock can be watered are so few that control of them in general means control of the entire pasture range. In years gone by it was the custom for large stock owners to acquire a number of water holes and so possess themselves of great grazing areas as effectively as if they owned every acre of them. In recent years the government has attempted to break up this practice by creating public water reserves which are open to the use of all comers, thus giving the small stock grower an equal chance with his more powerful rival. UNDER ADVISEMENT The superior judge on Tuesday took under advisement the action brought by John Stewart against the San Pasqual Ranch Co., owner of property at Escondido. In this case Stewart asserted that there was $750 due him for services for the ranch company, of which his father, A. I. Stewart, was formerly manager. He also asked that as against that credit a $550 assessment on his stock in the company be met. J. E. Gowen and J. D. Thomas of Santa Ana and A. Pierotti and Wm. Berkenstock of Placentia, directors of the company, all testified that John Stewart was not employed by the ANAHEIM GAZETTE—THURSDAY, JAN. 13 "Sorry Old Man, I Bought by Telephone" The sales manager of a large Western concern of goods by telephone to a small town merchant before the arrival of a traveling salesman tor.

The defense declared that live stock and other property of the ranch was sold and no accounting of it made to the company. The plaintiff and his father and mother asserted that John Etewart was employed. Conrad Ebel, formerly employed on the ranch, said that John Stewart had told him that he was not employed by the ranch company. FERTILIZING LIME AVAILABLE AT SMALL COST One of the Waste Products of Sugar Factories can be Utilized A distinct advantage is afforded the agricultural interests of Orange county through a by-product of the county's fine big beet sugar factories; for waste lime from these factories has now been pointed out as cheap and efficient for soil improvement by P. L. Hibbard, chemist in the fertilizer control work of the University of California. "Sugar factories," says Mr. Hibbard, "use large quantities of lime in purifying beet juice. During the process the quicklime is changed back to carbonate, the same chemically as it was in the original limestone. But its appearance is very different. The waste lime is discharged from the factory as a sort of mud. This lime mud is, by weight, nearly half water and contains impurities from the beet juice which were originally derived from the soil. Some of these are valuable as plant foods. A ton of the waste lime may sometimes contain as much as a dollar's worth of these plant foods, in addition to the lime, which is its chief value. On account of the large amount of water in it, the waste lime will contain only half to two-thirds as much pure lime as a FOREST SERVICE TO AID IN SETTLEMENT Policy is to Make Available for Settlement Lands Chiefly Valuable For Farming The following extracts from the report of the secretary of agriculture for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1915, indicate the department's policy with regard to lands in the national forests which are chiefly valuable for farming: "It is the department's policy to make available for settlement all lands which are chiefly valuable for farming. In order to open such areas a careful classification is being made. Large tracts found to be valuable for agriculture or unsuited for permanent forest purposes are eliminated. During the last five years about 14,000,000 acres have been released. In addition, individual tracts are classified and opened to entry upon application of home seekers. Since the work was begun more than 1,900,000 acres have been made available for the benefit of 18,000 settlers. In short, lands within the forests really adapted to agriculture are being occupied as homesteads under favorable conditions. While the lands suited to settlement are classified and opened to entry, those which are not chiefly valuable for agriculture are retained in public ownership. The alienation of timberlands under conditions that will lead not to settlement but to speculation and to increasing the holdings of private owners would defeat the very purposes for which the forests were established. "The real agricultural problem within and near the forests is to make possible the successful occupancy and development of the lands that already have been opened to entry or actually patented. The mere private ownership of land does not insure successful use of it. In Oregon and Washing-" ORPHANS RECEIVED The following children have been adopted into St. Catherine's Orphanage.
