GOOD ROADS OF COUNTY ARE PRAISED AUTOMOBILE JOURNAL SAYS OUR THOROUGHGFARES ARE FINEST IN THE WORLD COMMENDS HIGHWAY COMMISSION FOR ITS SPLENDID WORK IN SIX YEARS "When it is considered that the average width of Orange county roads is three feet wider than the average of the state highways and when, too, it is known that the concrete base of the Orange county roads is 25 per cent thicker than the state highways, it is a decided compliment to the generalship of the Orange county highway commission, who so ably carried out the mandate of the people in building this most representative boulevard system in Southern California." Much space is devoted to the beautiful natural scenery reached over these splendid boulevards and the wonderful progress they have wrought in a brief space, in an industrial way. The article mentions the former pitable state of Orange county roads and how motorists would always go around the county if possible rather than face the rough road. Then it compares the present situation with its increase in land values, particularly when the business men of that county are such active representative citizens as those controlling the county affairs of this smallest of Southern California counties. "In every county in Southern California there has been a beneficial result (from the good roads) but in no county on the Pacific Coast has there been such a high degree of improvement as shown in Orange county." "The visitor will comment most favorably on the clean, prosperous and up-to-date appearance of the ranches, the yards the houses, the barns and stretches of roadway adjacent to the paevment, where beautiful flowers and well kept lawns give an effect of prosperity most decidedly in contrast to the appearance of the same communities prior to the construction of the highway system, only finished in the spring of 1915. The tremendous improvement that has taken place within the past two years in Orange county is almost beyond belief and the county can well be proud of its achievement, not alone in the construction of one of the best county highway systems in Southern California but also on the really great improvement that it has wrought in its standing as a high-class business and family community strictly up to date in every sense of the word. Orange county can indeed hold up its head as now standing at the very pinnacle of all counties of Southern California in the matter of progressiveness of ideas, of appearance and of business ability to accomplish that which is best in the internal improvement needed in the rejuvenation of a community to a degree rarely attained in the annals of modern progress."

The article mentions the former plitable state of Orange county roads and how motorists would always go around the county if possible rather than face the rough roads. Then it compares the present situation with its increase in land values and beneficial effect on business in general. It says: "Go down into Orange county now and what will you see? To anyone who did not know the conditions of affairs in Orange county in 1910, it is almost beyond belief that the changes since that time could possibly have taken place, due to practically the one factor of good roads throughout that county." Some other extracts from the article are as follows: Viewed from the standpoint of comparison in size, as shown on a map of Southern California, Orange county is less than one-twentieth of the size of some of its surrounding neighbors, but like the value represented by the diamond, size is no criterion by which to judge the commercial or financial value of coun- strictly up to date in every sense of the word.

GOOSE RAISING Pasturage is essential to the successful raising of geese, according to Farmers' Bulletin No. 767, recently issued by the United States department of agriculture. The industry is at present on the basis of small flocks raised on general farms, few, if any, farms being devoted entirely to goose raising. In some producing sections, however, the fattening of geese is conducted as a special business. For this business the geese are collected from general farms, usually over a large area, and are fattened for several weeks before being killed. Geese can be raised in small numbers successfully and at a profit, says the bulletin, on farms where there is Of the amount the pro rota expands county is $5,067.99 ing the amount k the treasury now county's credit $2 be turned back to on the improved r Comparing these of other counties San Diego pays 360.09 more than pays only $35,942 less than Orange pays $58,032.69, a 597.33 short of b pays $24,986.70, an amount Orange a the license bureau Basing estimate the county and t cities, it will be county easily lea paid.

Ask ANAH THE GREAT SPRING TONI Anaheim Gazette low rough pasture land with a natural supply of water. Geese are generally quite free from disease and all insect pests, but occasionally are affected by the diseases common to poultry. Grass makes up the bulk of the feed for geese, and it is doubtful whether it pays to raise them unless good grass range is available. A body of water where they can swim is considered essential during the breeding season and is a good feature during the rest of the year. The market for geese is not so general as for chickens. This should be considered in undertaking the raising of geese. The demand and the price paid for geese are usually good in sections where goose fattening is conducted on a large scale. Many geese are kept in the South for the production of feathers rather than for their flesh, but the demand for their feathers is not so good as it has been, making the business less profitable. Wherever possible, the geese on a farm should have free range. Many farmers in the South keep them to kill the weeds in the cotton fields. AUTOMOBILE LICENSES Automobile owners of Orange county have so far paid into the state treasury the sum of $60,620.02 for licenses for the year. Of the amount paid to the state, the pro rota expense share of this county is $5,067.99, and after deducting the amount kept at Sacramento, the treasury now holds to Orange county's credit $26,814.74, which will be turned back to the county for use on the improved road system. Comparing these figures with those of other counties of the Southland, San Diego pays $87,980.11, or $17,-360.09 more than Orange. Riverside pays only $35,942.90, or $24,677.12 WHO PAYS THE FREIGHT There is $65,286 at Sacramento that belongs to the schools of Orange county, and just how it is going to get here has not been decided. The money has been apportioned by County School Superintendent Mitchell, and so far as his books are concerned, the various school districts have the money. As a matter of fact, the money is in Sacramento. When State School Superintendent Hyatt issued a circular giving notice that the second quarterly apportionment of school money had been made, he stated that State Treasurer Richardson had made arrangements to transport the money to the various county treasurers without cost to the school fund. A year ago the county treasurer would have handled the matter through a draft, but since the county has gone upon a cash basis, the local banks decline to handle the exchange of $65,286. Last week County Treasurer Joplin wrote a letter to the state controller, inclosing State Superintendent Hyatt's order for the money, and requested that the money be sent at once without cost to the county. The money has not come, and the county treasurer is wondering why. He is also wondering who is going to pay transportation charges. The express company will charge 75 cents per $1000 for transporting currency and $1.25 for gold. The demand of $48.75 would not be payable out of the county's funds, and the money as apportioned can be used only for teacher's salaries. Joplin is waiting to hear from Sacramento. VALUE OF SLASH PINE A comparatively little known but valuable tree most often called slash growth, ability to endure the shade of other trees, and its capacity to adapt itself to a wide range of environment. The fact that it can withstand the combination of forest fires and razor back hogs is also considered of importance by the foresters, who say that the tree is destined to play an important part in the future of the cut over lands of the south. As an example of the high money returns obtained by turpentineing the tree, it is stated that in one instance in South Carolina a 20-year-old stand of slash pine averaged 520 trees per acre, each of which had one cup. Teh turpentine operator paid the owner ten cents a cup, or a total of $52 per acre, for the privilege of tapping the trees. After a rest of from three to five years the trees should be in good condition for back cupping and should produce even larger financial returns. By using the improved method of turpentine advocated by the forest service the foresters say that such a stand could be turpentineed for a longer period of years instead of the three or four years under the crude methods now generally employed. It is pointed out that the yellow pine lands of the south furnish by far the bulk of the naval stores of the world and that the supply is steadily decreasing as these lands are denuded of their timber and no provision made for their restocking. Because such high returns are possible from slash pine, the experts believe that the tree should be encouraged to come in on the cut over land of the south with a view to perpetuating the naval stores industry. KING MAY BE TARIFF COMMISSIONER Authentic information received in Southern California democratic Of the amount paid to the state, the pro rota expense share of this county is $5,067.99, and after deducting the amount kept at Sacramento, the treasury now holds to Orange county's credit $26,814.74, which will be turned back to the county for use on the improved road system. Comparing these figures with those of other counties of the Southland, San Diego pays $87,980.11, or $17,360.09 more than Orange. Riverside pays only $35,942.90, or $24,677.12 less than Orange; San Bernardino pays $58,032.69, an amount only $1,597.33 short of being equal; Imperial pays $24,986.70, less than half the amount Orange annually contributes to the license bureau. Basing estimates on the area of the county and the number of large cities, it will be seen that Orange county easily leads in the amount paid. Los Angeles, with a population claimed to be twenty-five times as great as that of Orange county, pays $720,988.71, an amount which is less than twelve times that which Orange county pays. San Diego has a much larger city population, yet pays but a slightly larger pro rata tax. Dr. M. M. Henderson, Dentist, Suite 1, Mullinix Bldg., Anaheim. VALUE OF SLASH PINE A comparatively little known but valuable tree most often called slash pine is fast replacing longleaf pine in many sections of the south, says the forest service. In some respects this tree is considered a better tree than longleaf. Its growth, according to the foresters, is more rapid and its yield of turpentine larger, while the wood is sal dto be the heaviest, hardest and strongest coniferous wood grown in the country. The term "slash pine," it is explained, is popularly applied to several southern pines, notably the loblolly, with which the true slash pine is often confused because of its close resemblance. The slash pine is also sometimes called Cuban, swamp or she pine. The chief cause for the rapid spread of the tree are its frequent and abundant seed production, very rapid KING MAY BE TARIFF COMMISSIONER Authentic information received in the Southern California democratic camp at Los Angeles from Washington contains advises that all California candidates for appointment as one of the six men to compose the United States tariff commission have been eliminated except Lyman M. King, state senator and publisher of the Redlands Facts. Following the receipt of this information, it was ventured by prominent democrats close to the administration that if King was not selected, the appointment would be made from among candidates in some other Pacific coast state. King received a strong endorsement from Orange county leaders in various parties. Since he is well known here and is a property owner in this county, his appointment will be of decided interest here.
