WEALTH SAVED FROM WASTE MATERIAL METAL VALUED AT $114,000,000 REMOVED FROM SCRAP HEAPS AND DROSSES The value of the copper, lead, zinc, tin, aluminum, and antimony recovered in the United States from scrap metals, skimmings, and drosses in 1915 was $114,304,930, against $57,039,-706 in 1914, a 100 per cent increase. This large gain was caused by greater recoveries and much higher average values for all metals. Increased traffic on the railroads and a large demand for metal products, particularly for those to be exported, made 1915 the most prosperous year in the waste metal trade. The imperative demand for zinc and copper by munition manufacturers and for foreign trade made spot metal very scarce. Secondary metals not desired for these purposes were generally available for domestic uses when virgin metal could not be purchased for prompt delivery. The incentive of high prices caused all metal wastes to be more carefully saved, segregated, and refined. Many manufacturers who had considered virgin metals as only suitable for their needs found that they could use considerable scrap provided they selected suitable material and used good judgment in its treatment. The increased output of secondary tin, lead, and aluminum, says a statement issued by the United States Geological Survey, was normally to be expected under the improved conditions of business, and the proportionally larger increase in the recoveries of zinc copper and antimony were NEW NOTES OF COUNTY A Gruesome Find: A portion of a human skull was discovered by W. A. Dyer Saturday near his ranch along the west bank of the Santa Ana river. The skull was deposited there by overflow waters of the past winter's floods, but whether it belonged to a flood victim or was washed out of some cemetery up the river is undetermined. Mr. Dyer brought his gruesome find to City Health Officer Chapline of Orange who identified it as part of a human skull and stated that it was apparently an adult of mature years. The forehead was sloping but there was no way to know whether it belonged to Mexican or American. Attached to the frontal bone were the two nasal bones and two small pieces of the parietal bones. The length of time the piece of skull had remained undiscovered is problematical. It readily crumbled under the touch as though it had been decomposing for a long time, but that might have been due to exposure to rain and sun, Dr. Chapline states. Also there were conditions indicating that decomposition had not been in progress for long. No other bones were uncovered in the vicinity. Bold Thieves at Santa Ana: Playing hide and seek with Officers John Ryan and W. N. Carter and operating almost under their noses, burglars early Tuesday smashed the plate glass window of the E. B. Smith jewelry store, 105 East Fourth street, looted the display racks of $274.50 in valuables and fled, consummating one of the most daring downtown thefts known to the police. The crime was committed after the officers vigorously searched the forest rangers and several thousand dogs tried on over hundred forest in the Susanville.

The increased output of secondary tin, lead, and aluminum, says a statement issued by the United States Geological Survey, was normally to be expected under the improved conditions of business, and the proportionally larger increase in the recoveries of zinc, copper, and antimony were due in part to the foreign demand for pig metal or for manufactured goods containing the metals named. The output of secondary copper, including that in brass and other alloys, was 196,000 tons in 1915 against 128,000 tons in 1914. The value of this copper and brass amounted to more than $70,000,000. The secondary lead recovered in 1915, including that in alloys, was nearly 79,000 tons, an increase of 28,000 tons, a quantity exceeded by the primary domestic output of only three states—Missouri, Idaho, and Utah. The amount of secondary zinc recovered in 1915 was 92,575 tons, of which 29,764 tons were recovered by redistillation from drosses and skimmings. At lease 4000 tons of zinc chloride and 46,000 tons of lithopone were manufactured. The zinc used in these products is derived mainly from zinc drosses and skimmings. The output of secondary tin increased from 12,447 tons in 1914 to 13,650 tons in 1915 and was equal to 24 per cent of the tin imported as metal or as oxide into the United States. The average price of antimony was abnormally high and the secondary recoveries in 1915 amounted to 3102 tons, valued at $1,811,568, an increase in quantity of 355 tons and in value of about $1,367,000. Aluminum was both scarce and very high priced the later part of 1915 and the secondary metal recovered, 8500 tons, was valued at $5,802,000.

Carter and operating almost under their noses, burglars early Tuesday smashed the plate glass window of the E. B. Smith jewelry store, 105 East Fourth street, looted the display racks of $274.50 in valuables and fled, consummating one of the most daring downtown thefts known to the police. The crime was committed after the officers vigorously searched the downtown section in an effort to locate two suspicious-looking characters whom Officer Carter had seen lurking, at midnight, in front of the Smith store and also in front of the J. H. Padgham jewelry store, 106 East 4th street, opposite the Smith store. The two men, if it was they who robbed the Smith store, eluded the officers. They evidently remained hiding until the coast was clear, for the robbery was committed between 4 and 5 o'clock. The first one to note that the Smith store window had been smashed was a newsboy, who at once telephoned to the proprietor. Smith hurried downtown and notified the police department of the burglary. A jagged hole, more than two feet in diameter, had been either cut or smashed in the very center of the plate glass and directly in front of where the jewelry was located. County Methodists Picnic: A crowd of two thousand people flocked to the Orange county park Friday to attend the annual picnic of the Orange County Methodist Social Union. County Y. M. C. A. Secretary E. M. Brown was in charge of the athletics and there was something doing every minute. The closing stunt was the indoor baseball game, in which the team of ministers defeated the laymen's team by a score of 12 to 8. Dr. F.M. Larkin the efficient editor of the christian Advocate, in San Francisco, proved that he could play ball about as well as he can edit. There is a suspicion that he was in the same league with Billy Sunday. There was much disappointment when Bishop Matt S. Hughes failed to reach the picnic in the morning and Dr. Alfred Inwood and Dr. F. M. Larkin gave short addresses. Just as Mr. Brown had started the afternoon races someone cried, "Here comes Bishop Hughes!" and, sure enough, it was him, hungry and covered with dust, but soon fed and delivering a masterful address, which the great maps of thousands on their inch to one mile, plete in detail.

They tell it for the benefit of you who are suffering. If your back aches, if you feel lame, sore and miserable, if the kidneys act too frequently, or passages are painful, scanty and off color, use Doan's Kidney Pills, the remedy that has helped so many of your friends and neighbors. Follow this Anaheim woman's advice and give Doan's a chance to do the same for you. Mrs. Theresa Daniel, 122 S. Claudina St., Anaheim, says: "Whenever I catch cold it seems to settle on my kidneys and brings on attacks of kidney complaint. At times, the pains are quite severe in the region of my kidneys and I can hardly do any stooping or lifting. I feel worn out and tired and do not have much ambition. Doan's Kidney Pills, procured from Mullinix's Drug Store have never failed to fix me up in fine shape." Price 50c, at all dealers.

Secretary Quits: E. M. Brown, county secretary of the Y. M. C. A. will close his labors in this county on August 1 and will go to Des Moines, Iowa, where he has been elected instructor of sociology and economics and director of athletics in Highland Park College. Ralph G. Cole, of Long Beach will succeed him here on September 1. The resignation of Mr. Brown was received and acted upon by the county committee on June 16. The resignation was accepted with the greatest reluctance by the committee. He came here a little over two years ago from Baker, Ore., where he was general secretary of the city Y. M. C. A. Secretary Brown has won the esteem of everyone connected with the Y. M. C. A. and his work among the boys of the county has been very successful. INSECT-INFESTED TREES More than a thousand trees have been cut down and burned during the past three months by the Forest Service on the Lassen National Forest in an effort to stamp out a plague of timber-destroying beetles, according to a report given out by the District Forester today.

The pine beetle, known to the scientists as the dendroctonus, migrates in swarms from dying to living pine trees, and constructs great galleries between the outer and inner bark for its larvae, which seem to live and thrive in the pitch. The beetle-infested tree dies almost as quickly as if girdled by a lumberman's ax, and, since the insects usually bore deep into the sapwood, a tree thus killed is seldom fit for lumbering purposes. Serious raids of these timber-destroying beetles occur frequently in the valuable sugar and yellow pine forests of California. These raids appear to depend somewhat upon local climatic conditions, and only prompt action on the part of timber owners and the government prevents immense losses, such as occurred in the Black Hills some years ago when more than 3000 acres of timber were destroyed. So prolific is the dendroctonus, that other insects and birds which feed upon it fail to keep it under control, and the only way to combat its ravages, declare the experts, is to cut down and burn the infested trees. Second to fire, it is said to be the greatest natural enemy of California’s forests. A shipment of more than three thousand maps of the Trinity and Stanislaus National Forests has been received at the headquarters of the Forest Service for distribution to the public, according to a report given out by the District Forester. This shipment is the first of approximately 90,000 maps of the Stanislaus, California, Trinity, Eldorado, Shasta, Plumas, Tahoe, Sierra, Sequoia, and Lassen National Forests which will be available this summer for the use can railroads who are not residents of the United States.

Choicest of Wines ZEROLENE the Standard Oil for Motor Cars A shipment of more than three thousand maps of the Trinity and Stanislaus National Forests has been received at the headquarters of the Forest Service for distribution to the public, according to a report given out by the District Forester. This shipment is the first of approximately 90,000 maps of the Stanislaus, California, Trinity, Eldorado, Shasta, Plumas, Tahoe, Sierra, Sequoia, and Lassen National Forests which will be available this summer for the use of campers and travelers in the above mentioned National Forests. The compilation and distribution of maps, campers' handbooks, and other literature, is in line with the intention of the Forest Service to promote a wider and more general use of all National Forest resources, and to aid the recreation seeking public in utilizing these "Playgrounds of the People." The new recreation maps are printed in colors on the scale of one-half inch to one mile, and are very complete in detail. Trails, roads, supply stations, automobile highways, are shown. The best fishing and game regions are indicated. Forest service headquarters, telephone stations, fire tool boxes, camp grounds, and regions of great scenic interest are marked, and much other valuable information is given. On the reverse side of the maps are printed concise histories and descriptions of the Forests, with excerpts from the California Fish and Game Laws, a record of the distribution of fish fry by the State Fish and Game Commission in co-operation with the Forest officers, and in some cases distance tables. The attention of the camper is called particularly to the fact that no charge is made for entering upon or camping upon any National Forest area, nor is the camper subjected to annoying surveillance on the part of Forest officers; and that other than reasonable regulations which are chiefly in respect to fire and sanitation, no restrictions are imposed. HOW RAILROAD OWNERSHIP IS DISTRIBUTED Ownership of the stock of American railways at the close of the fiscal year ended June 30, 1915, was distributed among 626,122 stockholders. This is according to a compilation just made by the Bureau of Railway Economics from the returns of the railways to the Interstate Commerce Commission. The average holding is $13,796 par val- can railroads who are not residents of the United States. It is well known that there are a large number of these, and their holdings are relatively very large. These foreign stock holdings would reduce the number of the owners living in this country and also reduce the percentage of those stockholders to the total population. As the figures stand in the first paragraph, there are now two and one-half persons to every one hundred of the country's population that are interested in railroad stocks or derive benefit from the dividends therefrom. Even when the foreign stockholders are eliminated from the list, percentage of the population interested is comparatively very large. To make the figures instructive, there should be a classification showing the number of stockholders having one hundred shares or less, those having one thousand shares, and so on up Favorite Saloon L.

This is according to a compilation just made by the Bureau of Railway Economics from the returns of the railways to the Interstate Commerce Commission. The average holding is $13,796 par value. The statistics cover 1285 railway corporations having an aggregate mileage of 257,211 miles. Of these roads 842 are operating companies owned by 539,118 stockholders, and 443 are non-operating roads owned by 87,004 stockholders. This represents an average of 640 stockholders per railway for operating roads, 196 stockholders for non-operating roads, and 487 stockholders per railway for all roads. The total par value of outstanding capital stock is $8,638,286,892. These figures do not give the actual value of each individual's holdings. Such a showing would bring out that there is not the equal division of the railroad stock indicated by the average value per stockholder. Without question many thousands hold but a small amount of stock each, and a comparatively few stockholders have the majority of the shares in any one of the companies and in all of them combined. This is the usual condition of investments in this class of property. The figures showing the total number of stockholders reveal that if there are four dependent persons behind each of the shareholders, then about 2,500,000 people out of a total population in the United States of 100,000,000 are financially interested in the railroads as owners and on account of revenues that come from such ownership.

APPOINTS SPARROW DESTROYER The city of San Diego has recently taken steps to rid itself of the European house sparrow, better known as "English" sparrow. On April 5, 1916, the city council passed an ordinance appropriating $125 for the purpose of providing ways and means for the extermination of English sparrows in the city of San Diego. The job of destroying the sparrows inside the city limits was given to one man. During the first month he handed over to the police department 325 dead sparrows, a large number considering the scarcity of the bird in San Diego. For these he received five cents apiece. Later when the sparrows became more difficult to obtain he was awarded ten cents apiece. From last reports the sparrows are well under control. Other cities in the state may well follow the example set by San Diego. Even in cities where sparrows are far more numerous the appropriation of a small sum of money and the appointment of an energetic and ingenious man to carry on the work of destruction will lead to a near solution of the sparrow problem. A city that can advertise itself with the slogan "No houses sparrows here," adds to its reputation; for this bird, like the rat among mammals, is cunning, destructive, and filthy.
