HIKING TRIPS ON THE MEXICAN BORDER SERGEANT GATES WRITES ENTERTAININGLY OF SOLDIER LIFE ON RIO GRANDE PRINCIPAL ARMY RATION IS CANNED MULE, BUT HE CARRIES A PRIVATE STOCK Tanner's Canyon, Arizona. Sept. 17, 1916. Editor Gazette—Before daylight on Sunday the tenth the buglers sounded their call of "I can't get 'em up, I can't get 'em up at all." This was greeted by many a shout as the boys rolled out of their downey (?) bunks for it was the first call on the first day of their long expected hike and they were glad to get out of camp. At half past seven the advance guard led the way out over the hills. Following them came General Wankowski and his staff. After the General were Colonel Schrieber and the "Silent Seventh". Behind the Colonel were the mounted scouts followed by the infantry or foot soldiers. Bringing up the rear the machine gun company led their mules. In the dust of the machine gun company came the wagon train of about twenty four horse teams. After the Seventh came the Second California in the same order followed by Ambulance company No. 1 and Field Hospital No. 1 to which Horace Howard and Floyd Hatfield belong. out of the canyon onto a rolling mesa. Here we found many farms, the only place on the trip where we passed more than a dozen houses in one day, outside of Patagonia and Ft. Huachuca. At the farther side of the mesa next to Buiscuit mountain we made camp at Elgin. This town if I may call it such, consists of a general store an adobe postoffice building a depot and water tank. We suppose somebody must have found a watch there and named the place after the incident. After Elgin came a long hike up a canyon and several miles over a scrubby mesquite covered mesa to Clark's Ranch. We will remember this place for the ground was hard and the water very scarce. Though eight miles away Ft. Huachuca could be seen nestling up against the Huachuca mountains. In the morning we went to Ft. Huachuca and south along the mountains past the target range where we left the Second to Tanner's Canyon, our camp. We are camped on a flat under a great grove of live oaks. It is a magnificent site with plenty of water. The precipitous mountains rise up on all sides, covered at the base with live oaks and topped by large pine trees. Deer and game are plentiful. A half dozen deer have already been brought in by the boys. They will be a welcome change from "canned Willie." Yesterday and today we have had comparative rest. Fortunately we have had no rain. The weather has been like June though there are no fogs and the nights are colder. Tomorrow we start nine days manoevers with this as our base to be followed by nine days on the range before the return march. Possibly next time I will have some thing interesting to say about them.

In the dust of the machine gun company came the wagon train of about twenty four horse teams. After the Seventh came the Second California in the same order followed by Ambulance company No. 1 and Field Hospital No. 1 to which Horace Howard and Floyd Hatfield belong. The Regimental hospital corps detachments were broken up and scattered through the regiment. The machine gun company is commonly called the "Jenny Battery". The mounted scouts, "Boy Scouts", the infantry, are called "Dough-boys," while the hospital corps is generally called the "Pill Battery". Everything has its name or rather nick name. Along the line of march I am "Iodine Bill," and my horse is named "C.C." after compound carthartic pills, which is very appropriate. Sgt. Hatfield's horse is "Jaw-bone" which means to buy on credit. The first day led us over a ridge road to the Santa Cruz river. It is a very beautiful trip and the best natural road I ever saw. After fording the river we made camp in a big field. Of course we are sleeping on the ground under our shelter tents, commonly called "Pup" or "Dog" tents as they are about the size of a large dog kennel. Upon reaching camp guards are placed over the water supply, the kitchen tents erected, pits dug for the camp wastes, and the wood details sent out after mesquite. Upon leaving camp every scrap of paper and refuse is "policed up." At our first three stops there were streams where it seemed every one went in bathing. At six-thirty on the second day and every day thereafter we were on the road. Our second day took us over a real mountain road. The views were magnificent. All along the way were many live oak and mesquite trees. The grass is still green and the wild flowers in blossom. Part of the way the road lay between high rock cliffs and a tree bordered river. This road was so rough we could only make two miles an hour for the fourteen miles we had to go. This was the only day's march that was not completed by noon. That night we slept on a flat covered with mesquite near a stream. This was at the edge of Patagonia, which I always thought was in South America. Patagonia is a mining center. It boasts some change from Camel Winter. Yesterday and today we have had comparative rest. Fortunately we have had no rain. The weather has been like June though there are no fogs and the nights are colder. Tomorrow we start nine days manoevers with this as our base to be followed by nine days on the range before the return march. Possibly next time I will have something interesting to say about them. HOWARD E. GATES. WILL CHOOSE TRUSTEES ON THURSDAY, OCT. 19 Fullerton-Orangethorpe Storm Water District to Hold Election At a meeting of the board of supervisors last week a resolution was adopted calling an election for three trustees of the Fullerton-Orangethorpe storm water district for Oct. 19. Demands on the county of Orange on the hospital and highway funds were allowed. Resolution of intention No. 1 for the formation of a storm water district to be known and designated as Santiago Storm Water District was adopted, and the hearing set for Oct. 24, 1916, at 10 a.m. The petition to submit the resolution of the board of supervisors forming the United Storm Water District to a vote of the electors of said county under referendum was denied. The bonds of the trustees of the United Storm Water District was fixed at $1000 each. The bids for furnishing electricity for Garden Grove lighting district were taken under advisement until Oct. 4, 1916, at 10 a.m. A leave of absence from the state was granted to J. B. Cox, Justice of the peace of Santa Ana township, for thirty days commencing Oct. 1, 1916. The bid of H. Clay Kellogg for the construction of Santa Ana canyon road was accepted. The bid of Byron Jackson Iron Works for furnishing the county of Orange a pump for $462 was accepted. WARNING ISSUED TO RECKLESS AUTO DRIVERS Los Angeles to San Diego Stage Men Are Hogging the Road grass is still green and the wild flowers in blossom. Part of the way the road lay between high rock cliffs and a tree bordered river. This road was so rough we could only make two miles an hour for the fourteen miles we had to go. This was the only day's march that was not completed by noon. That night we slept on a flat covered with mesquite near a stream. This was at the edge of Patagonia, which I always thought was in South America. Patagonia is a mining center. It boasts of two hundred and five people, I suppose they count the burros too. Our experiences show the folly of relying on the National Guard for defense. At the first stop in the evening our horses had only a little grain. In the morning neither grain nor hay. They started me out for a six day hike over rocky roads with a horse that had two unshod feet. At Patagonia I took him in and had him shod and bought fifty pounds of grain at my own expense. This trip would be a perfect delight if it were not for some of the "correspondence school" officers we have. I had better not give any more of my opinions on this subject or some general will be after me with a big club. Our diet is the field ration which consists chiefly of canned mule. I keep one of my saddle bags filled with a private stock of "eats." From Patagonia we hiked up a beautiful canyon to old Ft. Crittenden of Indian days. Our camp site here was on a flat by a stream with wooded hills all about. The fort is about a mile away from the sight on a flat topped hill. Its site is ideal with a far reaching view and plenty of ground suitable for the use of a brigade. The buildings, fifteen in all, are now picturesque adobe ruins as the fort has been abandoned many years. From Fort Crittenden we climbed WARNING ISSUED TO RECKLESS AUTO DRIVERS Los Angeles to San Diego Stage Men Are Hogging the Road As the result of complaints reaching District Attorney L. A. Wast from the Automobile Club of Southern California regarding alleged road "hogging" and speeding on the part of drivers of Los Angeles-San Diego stages, which pass through Orange county, a letter was today addressed to County Motorcops Roy Davenport and Roy Ballard, telling them to inform drivers of such stages that unless reckless driving ceases he will ask the board of supervisors to pass an ordinance regulating and licensing such vehicles. That the district attorney does not intend to "split hairs" over the question is indicated by the fact that he says "this is the first, last and only warning that I intend to give upon this subject and unless there is a strict compliance herewith, by all drivers of through and other stages, I shall forthwith ask the board of supervisors to pass the ordinance licensing such cars and will see to it that the regulations are made so strict that any persons violating the terms of this license ordinance and regulations cannot drive or operate cars again while such ordinance is in force." The principal complaint upon which District Attorney West bases his action in this matter was received recently from W. S. Bullis, of Los Angeles, through Standish L.

Mitchell Friday and gives to the elementary and high school districts of the county a total of $77,566.84. The apportionment was made on a basis of $250 per teacher, one teacher being allowed for each 35 pupils. This money was apportioned from funds received by the state. When the county money is received in December the apportionment will be made for the second quarter. At that time $300 will be apportioned for each teacher, bringing the total apportioned under this system to $550. The remaining funds will be apportioned on a basis of the number of pupils. Under the apportionment just announced Santa Ana received $13,250 for the elementary schools and $4854.36 for the high school, a total of $18,104.36. Anaheim receives $4500 for elementary school purposes and $2264.24 for high school, a total of $6764.24. the Jury of Awards, acting for the Panama California International Exposition, at San Diego, California, has given the Grand Prize for buildings of its class to the Salt Lake Route-Union Pacific building, which has been operated by these two railway systems since the beginning of the exposition in January 1915. This building has been one of the features of the exposition, carrying with it a most interesting exhibit bearing upon the country tributary to the Salt Lake route, and also maintaining an efficient information bureau covering every section of the great West, thus forming a most valuable adjunct to the exposition's many attractions. Two of the special attractions in this building are the massive maps, each occupying one end of the great reception hall. One of these maps covers in detail the entire country tributary to the lines of the Salt Lake Route, while the other is equally illustrative of the wonder of the Yellowstone. Each of these maps were last year awarded gold medals by the Committee of Awards and the building itself was given like recognition in 1915, to be followed this year by the award of the Grand Prize. In addition to these exhibit features the Salt Lake Route-Union Pacific building has been noted for its entertainment features, its hospitality having been extended to all prominent visitors and its doors kept open for the entertainment of every gathering of importance that has made a tour of the fair.

GAME BIRDS AND ANIMALS PEST TO RICE GROWERS Wild Ducks, Blackbirds and Rabbitts Destroying Crops The rice growers in the vicinity of Gridley and Marysville have declared war against blackbirds, wild ducks and jack rabbits. Growers complain that blackbirds are destroying thousands of dollars' worth of rice for them each season; and that wild ducks, instead of following a time honored custom of breeding in the northern countries, remain on the California rice fields through the breeding season. Wild ducks have for years been a pest in the grain fields of the upper the entertainment of every gathering of importance that has made a tour of the fair. INDUSTRIAL INJURIES DURING 1915 The Industrial Accident Commission of the State of California has issued statistical information concerning injuries in the industries of the state during the year 1915. There were reported 67,538 injuries, as follows: fatal, 533; permanent, 1,264; temporary, 65,741. The total payments for the above injuries, reported up to June 30, 1916, amounted to $2,002,706.04. This sum was apportioned between compensation to injured, $1,150,503.56, and medical payments, $852,202.48. There were 13,254 injuries out of the 67,538 that lasted 15 days and over. It is interesting to compare the 1915 figures with those tabulated for 1914. During the latter year there were 691 industrial deaths, 1,292 permanent injuries and 60,241 temporary injuries; a total of 62,224. Last year's death list shows a reduction of 168, due largely to the gospel of "Safety First" and the activities of employers and employees in co-operating to remove industrial hazards. The permanent injuries also decreased 28. There was an increase of 5,500 in the temporary injuries last year as compared with the 1914 figures. This is the experience of compensation history all over the world. More care is taken as time goes on in reporting injuries. The natural increase in population is a factor in contributing to a larger number of temporary injuries. MINING IN SOUTHEASTERN ALASKA The value of the total mineral output of southeastern Alaska for 1915 exceeded $6,000,000, and was distributed as follows: Gold . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $5,400,000 Copper . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 300,000 Silver, marble, lead and gypsum . . . . . . . . . . 300,000 Most of the gold came from lodes in the vicinity of Juneau; most of the copper was obtained from lodes in the Ketchikan district; the silver was derived almost entirely from gold ores, though silver-bearing galena occurs at several places; most of the marble was quarried in the Ketchikan district; IN ANYTHING YOU COOK requiring milk you'll get much better results if you use ours.

The rice growers in the vicinity of Gridley and Marysville have declared war against blackbirds, wild ducks and jack rabbits. Growers complain that blackbirds are destroying thousands of dollars' worth of rice for them each season, and that wild ducks, instead of following a time honored custom of breeding in the northern countryside, remain on the California rice fields through the breeding season. Wild ducks have for years been a pest in the grain fields of the upper Sacramento valley, in the vicinity of Colusa, Gridley and Marysville. This section of the valley is the hunters' paradise, but the grain men have had to pay the price for living in a wild duck breeding and feeding section of the state. Since it has been discovered that rice can be profitable grown in this same section of the valley, the game birds have "new pastures" and, according to William Blowers of Marysville, the growers are going to protect their crops, game law or no game law. Blowers is quoted as saying: "I don't care what the game laws are. The blackbirds are destroying my crops and they make their roosts on my scarecrows. Blackbirds are costing me $100 a day, and I'm going to kill them." Blowers said that wild ducks no longer migrate to the north, but make their home during the hatching season in the rice fields during the summer. “If anybody wants to kill ducks this fall and winter send them to my ranch,” said Blowers. “I'll let them have free hunting grounds and will give them a good meal besides. Wild ducks and wild blackbirds, together with jack rabbits and cotton tails are a pest to the rice growers.” GET GRAND PRIZE Word has just been received that Gold . . . $5,400,000 Copper . . . 300,000 Silver, marble, lead and gypsum . . . 300,000 Most of the gold came from lodes in the vicinity of Juneau; most of the copper was obtained from lodes in the Ketchikan district; the silver was derived almost entirely from gold ores, though silver-bearing galena occurs at several places; most of the marble was quarried in the Ketchikan district; lodes carrying lead ores are known at a number of places, but none of them has yet made any notable production, and the gypsum was mined on Chicago Island. CALIFORNIA OIL LANDS The present extent of proved oil land in California has just been determined by the State Mining Bureau in the most accurate and detailed study ever given to the subject. The total is 126 square miles, or 80,702 acres, of which 55,842 acres are in Kern county alone. Fresno county is second on the list with 12,218 acres and Santa Barbara county third with 6030 acres. The other counties in their regular rank are Orange, having 3305 acres; Los Angeles, 2326 acres; Ventura, 749 acres; San Luis Obispo, 202 acres, and finally Santa Clara takes eighth place with thirty acres. It is worthy of notice that the total area of proved oil land is most insignificant in comparison with the area of the entire state, being less than one thousandth part, and yet the oil business is one of the state's most important industries. Estimates of the total amount of oil which can be recovered from the land are little better than pure guesses, but it does seem most probable that the average acre will ultimately yield much less than fifty thousand barrels. WHO KEPT US OUT OF WAR? Theodore Roosevelt, speaking in Maine, and Charles W. Fairbanks, accepting the Republican nomination for the vice presidency in Indianapolis, both stuck spikes into the Democratic campaign slogan that "President Wilson has kept us out of war." Colonel Roosevelt branded the temporary occupation of Vera Cruz as futile, dishonorable warfare, entered into pointlessly and abandoned ignobly," to the vast damage of the Mexicans and ourselves. Mr. Fairbanks declared that there has been real war in Mexico, due to our own aggression. In this connection it is fair and proper to think of Mexico in terms of other nations. Suppose Mexico had been as strong as almost any of the belligerents of Europe. Would the Vera Cruz affair have meant war? The answer is that we would have been fighting in Mexico today, in the full panoply of war, or we would have fought, come off victor, and obtained peace earlier. The bald fact is that the Mexicans and not President Wilson kept us out of war, if we concede that the invasion of Vera Cruz was not war. They kept us out because, being weak and torn with internal dissension, they felt they could not afford to fight back. Due to this very weakness, they are keeping us out of war today.

There is no cause for national pride in the Vera Cruz expedition if the administration was influenced partly in undertaking it by a strong presumption that there would be no serious striking back. Tackling a small boy because he is a small boy is inglorious. It does not comport with the idealism which many admirers of the present administration attribute to it. The State of Ohio has forbidden the exhibition of "The Clansman" in theatres of that commonwealth. Ohio sent 319,000 soldiers to the civil war, and her citizens refuse to permit their memory to be clouded by pictures depicting them looting houses like a bunch of Villa bandits.
