Fewer Violations Of Highway Laws Increase in Convictions Cause Decrease in Offenses Strieter methods of law enforcement, advanced organization of traffic officers drives against drunken drivers and better education of the public are held responsible by the Division of Motor Vehicles for an increase of 16,262 convictions in California courts for motor vehicle offences during the first six months of 1928 over the same period last year. A report issued by the statistical department of the division shows this increase, the total number of persons paying the penalty for infractions of the law during the period being 52,224 against 35,962 last year. The increase comes largely among those charged with drunkenness, reckless driving and speeding. 85 per cent of the total or 44,330 having been convicted on these charges. The report notes that the division concentrated its attentions on this type of violator during the last year. The same period of last year showed 27,123 or 75 per cent of the total convicted for these offenses. The report does not take into account thousands of other persons convicted of minor offenses nor those convicted of major offenses but not reported by the courts. Other convictions are tabulated as follows: Rules of the road, 3150; headlight violations 2025; no plates or dirty plates, 441; Excessive use of horn and muffler cutouts, 669; failure to have operator's or chauffeur's license, 484; miscellaneous, 1065. Commenting on the report Chief Frank G. Snook declared the "spendid co-operation of Justice of the Peace and police courts," had assisted materially in increasing the number of convictions. The division received fine co-operative production Territory Yielded Nearly Fifteen Millions Last Year Mines In Alaska produced $14,404,000 worth of minerals in 1927, as against $17,657,800 in 1926, according to an announcement made by the Interior Department today through the Geological Survey. The total value of the mineral output of the Territory since 1880 is $585,374,000. The most notable decrease was in the quantity and value of the copper produced, but there was also a considerable decrease in the output of gold and in certain of the substances, notably platinum metals, that have been included in the table as miscellaneous mineral products. The decrease in quantity of silver produced reflects in large measure the decrease in copper mining, as much of the silver is recovered from that source. That there was not an even greater decrease is due to the increased production of silver from the silver-lead ores, especially those of the Hyder district of southeastern Alaska. There was increased production of coal, lead and tin in 1927; in fact, the quantity of lead was the greatest that has ever been produced in any one year, and the quantity of coal was exceeded in only one year since mining began in the Territory and then by not more than 15,000 tons. The decrease in production of minerals from Alaska, the department believes, is attributable not to permanent wanting of the mining industry, but to a number of causes, some of which were purely local, other regional, and still others widespread, affecting not only Alaska but the United States as well. One of the widespread causes was the low price at which metals sold during 1927. This not only had the effect of cutting down the value of the product sold but also had an even greater effect in curbing production.

Commenting on the report Chief Frank G. Snook declared the "splendid co-operation of Justices of the Peace and police courts," had assisted materially in increasing the number of convictions. "The division received fine co-operation from the courts throughout the state." said Snook. "Many judges in the state centered their efforts on motor vehicle violations during the period and their efforts were splendidly justified in an increase in convictions. I want to thank the judges particularly for their assistance to us in rounding up and convicting drunken drivers." THINGS WORTH KNOWING &—When was black gunpowder discovered? A—The early history of black gunpowder is unknown. It is said to have been used by the Chinese several centuries before it became known to Europe, but there is no direct proof of this. It is probable that it was a development, not a discovery. As early as the seventh century an incendiary composition called Greek fire" was used in the navy of the Eastern Roman Empire. Q—Is the transportation of liquor in bottles, in large quantity, from one state to another a violation of the prohibition enforcement act if the seal on the bottle is unbroken? A—Unless one has a permit to transport, it is illegal. The fact that the seal is unbroken makes no difference. Q—Is professional baseball a sport or a business? A—It depends upon the point of view. When any game or sport is commercialized it changes from amateur to professional but such commercialization does not necessarily change it from a sport to a business. Professional baseball is of course a business proposition to the owners-of-the-clubs, but to the "fans" who go to see the game, it is "sport." Q—When does the calendar year begin and when does a fiscal year begin? A—a calendar year begins with January 1 and ends after midnight of December 31 of any year. A fiscal year may begin with any month of the year and continue for 12 months. The fiscal year of the government of the United States begins July 1 and ends June 30. Q—From what time does the development of the steam railroad date? A—It is ordinarily dated from the opening to traffic of the Stockton and Darlington railway in England in 1825. Q—Are magnesium and beryllium lighter than aluminum? A—Yes. Q—Is it possible for an airplane to fly beyond the earth's atmosphere? A—Atmosphere is as necessary to survive mining began in the Territory and then by not more than 15,000 tons. The decrease in production of minerals from Alaska, the department believes, is attributable not to permanent waning of the mining industry, but to a number of causes, some of which were purely local, other regional, and still others widespread, affecting not only Alaska but the United States as well. One of the widespread causes was the low price at which metals sold during 1927. This not only had the effect of cutting down the value of the product sold but also had an even greater effect in curbing production. Obviously, during a period of low prices it is only the part of wise management to reduce the output and await more favorable markets. This condition was especially reflected in the output of copper during the year. The decrease in output of gold is according to this announcement, of course, not attributable to this cause Instead, it was due solely to the decrease in production from the gold placers, for the amount of gold recovered from the lodes increased somewhat. The explanation of the decrease in placer-gold production lies largely in the adverse climatic conditions that prevailed at almost all the placer camps throughout the Territory during the season. The winter of 1926-27 had a very light snowfall, so that runoff from the snow when it melted furnished unusually little water. Coupled with this, the early part of the open season was unusually dry, so that at many camps water for mining was not available until August, and by that time many operators had become discouraged and closed up their plants for the season. Even at the large camps the shortage of water forced curtailment of work, so that some of them were operating at only half their normal rate. In many of the districts the season opened so late that seasonal frost lasted even until August. To round out the tale of difficulties, winter set in unusually early in many of the districts and so further curtailed the amount of mining that could be done. About equal amounts of gold were derived from lodes and from placers. The bulk of the lode gold still continues to come from mines in southeastern Alaska, and they are increasing rather than diminishing their output. In addition, these mines are already yielding large quantities of silver and lead, and plans are under way for recovering zinc from the ores of the largest mine. The placer gold was produced from a number of camps widely distributed throughout the Territory. About 58 per cent of the gold recovered from placer deposits was mined by means of dredges. Twenty-eight dredges were mining in different parts of Alaska, and though mining of this type is generally less affected by adverse climatic conditions, even the largest dredge operators were so hampered in 1927 that they reported a marked falling off in production. Only one new dredge—that of the American Creek Dredging company in the Hot Springs district of the Yukon—was built and since mining began in the Territory and then by not more than 15,000 tons. The decrease in production of minerals from Alaska, the department believes, is attributable not to permanent waning of the mining industry, but to a number of causes, some of which were purely local, other regional, and still others widespread, affecting not only Alaska but the United States as well. One of the widespread causes was the low price at which metals sold during 1927. This not only had the effect of cutting down the value of the product sold but also had an even greater effect in curbing production.

Orange Tree Planted In Botanical Garden The California Botanic Garden was the scene of an act of historical interest to California's great citrus industry when on Wednesday, August 1, F. Q. Story, honorary life president of the California Fruit Growers' Exchange, planted a direct descendant of the first navel orange tree grown in the state among other famous trees now grouped in the Forest of Fame. The planting ceremony was attended by officials and directors of the exchange and of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce. P. J. Dreher, another pioneer and for many years vice-president and later president of the Sunkist organization, was an honored guest. The seven-year-old tree, grown from a bud from one of the two original navel orange trees sent to California in 1873, was furnished through the operation of the Citrus Experiment Station at Riverside, where it grew to maturity. Sent to Riverside by the United States Department of Agriculture, one of the two original trees is now a landmark on Magnolia avenue in Riverside, where it still produces a good crop of fruit each season. Speaking of this tree at the Forest of Fame ceremony, Mr. Dreher said, "This tree is really one of the most unique horticultural possessions of our country. Nearly 60 years old, it still lives in health and vigor, in the midst of thousands of beautiful acres of its offspring which are bringing wealth, health and happiness to a widespread population. It and the progeny planted here today should be shrines for all citrus growers as they represent the basis of the present foremost agricultural industry in the great Southwest." The other of the two parents of all California navel oranges was transplanted in the grounds of the Mission Inn, Riverside, by President Roosevelt in 1903. It died in 1921 and was replaced by a direct descendant. Francis Q. Story came to California in 1883 and has been prominently iden- AUTOMOBILE NOTES Uncle Sam has a speed limit of his own for motorists at Yosemite National Park, and the state speed limit of 40 miles an hour is liable to bring grief. According to Acting Superintendent Leavitt, the speed limit on the floor of the valley is 30 miles an hour on straight stretches of open road, but speed shall not exceed 20 miles an hour when passing vehicles or pedestrians at road intersections, or rounding curves where visibility is obscured. Every effort is being made to encourage motorists to drive carefully at all times and to maintain the courteous and safety first driving record that has featured the park since automobiles were first permitted to enter in 1913. The loss of life and property in the recent St. Francis Dam disaster is being repeated in auto accidents on California highways every ninety days. Because the fatalities from motor vehicle accidents are distributed over a period of time, the seriousness of the situation is not generally realized. Nevertheless, the fact remains that 2000 lives are being lost annually in California from auto accidents, and persons suffering injuries number more than 100,000 per year. In stressing the need for more expert and careful handling of their machines on the part of motorists, the motoring organization executive points out that one car in every sixteen traversing the highways is annually involved in an accident in which someone is killed or injured. Although the number of automobiles in operation throughout the country increased five per cent in 1927, the number of fatalities in grade crossing accidents showed a decrease of four per cent. This decrease was in the face of an increase of 10 per cent in the number of fatalities from all causes. It is estimated that there was one fatality due to the operation of motor NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on Monday, August 20th, 1928, at the hour of fifteen minutes after eleven o'clock (11:15) A.M. of said day, at the South entrance to the Orange County Courthouse, in the City of Santa Ana, County of Orange, State of California, the Abstract & Title Guaranty Company, a corporation, as trustee under a certain deed of trust executed by Frank Lee and Rosario Lee, his wife, and recorded in Book 691, Page 1 of Deeds, Records of Orange County, California, which was given to secure a promissory note for the sum of Two Hundred Dollars ($200.00), with interest thereon at the rate of eight per cent per annum, payable monthly—payable in monthly installments of $2.35 each, such payments to be applied to interest then Mother!
