MEANING OF CALIFORNIA COUNTY NAMES FROM THE STATE RECORDS The story of how California counties derived their names is an interesting part of the history of the Golden State. Believing that the thousands of tourists who annually motor over the state's great highway system would like to know how the counties they visit came by their names, Director of Public Works Earl Lee Kelly, at the request of Governor Frank F. Merriam has had prepared from state records a series of brief stories of the origin and meaning of the names of the counties of California including a few salient facts about each county. Following are the first articles of the series. Editor. Butte County—Created February 18, 1850. This is one of the original twenty-seventeen counties of the State, and derived its name from that wonderful topographical formation, now known as the Marysville or Sutter Buttes, which lie in Sutter county and which were named by Michel La Framboise of the Hudson Bay Company, who visited the northern part of California as a voyager and trapper in the year 1829. The word "butte" is purely a French word, and signifies "a small hill or mound of earth detached from any industries. Irrigation is undertaken on an extensive scale, the Department of Commerce announcing in its 1830 irrigation census that Butte had 68,219 acres under irrigation. Northern California's first orange tree was planted at Bidwell Bar in 1856 and it still produces regular crops an disused in propagating root stock. Population: 34,093. Area: 1698 square miles. Calaveras County — Created February 18, 1850. One of the original twenty-seven counties of California. The meaning of "Calaveras" is "skulls". The county derived its names from Calaveras Creek, which was so named by Captain Moraga of the Mexican army, who headed the first exploring expedition of the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers and into the Sierra Nevada mountains, from the fact that he found a large number of skulls lying along the banks of the creek. According to the diary of Captain Moraga, the history of this abundance of skulls is that the Indian tribes living on the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers made a desperate war against the tribes of the Sierra, who annually came down to fish for salmon in these streams. This was considered in the light of a trespass, inasmuch as the Sierra tribes refused to allow the valley tribes to go into the mountains to hunt deer and gather acorns. In a battle fought near this creek, the tribes Registration at Placentia St. Registration of students at lencia High School in Placentia started last Tuesday. Last year 75 were in attendance at the school, while this year expected that better than 130 register at the school. Wool Growers Plan Meet September A meeting of sheepmen is for; 10:00 A.M., Monday, September 16 at the Los Angeles Co Fair in Pomona. This man said R. W. Hull of Orange, dent of the Southern Cali Wool Growers Association, the purpose of enabling sheep to get acquainted with each and outline a program for Association. A short business session was held, followed by discussions en by R. F.

At Ca It was back in 1820 when the first real exploration of Butte was undertaken, and here and throughout Sacramento Valley trappers of the Hudson Bay Company and others worked from 1625 to 1840. The next ten years witnessed first settlements of white men, which increased rapidly after the discovery of gold on the Feather River. At the Cape claim near Oroville 142 pounds of gold were taken out in one day and the largest nugget ever found in America and the second largest in the world was discovered near Magalia, east of Oroville. Butte is a land of diversified agriculture and Northern California's chief orange producer. Rice production now is one of the county's most important abundance of skulls is that the Indian tribes living on the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers made a desperate war against the tribes of the Sierra, who annually came down to fish for salmon in these streams. This was considered in the light of a trespass, inasmuch as the Sierra tribes refused to allow the valley tribes to go into the mountains to hunt deer and gather acorns. In a battle fought near this creek, the tribes of the valley were victorious, and more than three thousand Indians were killed. Hence the name of the creek, from which the county subsequently derived its name. Calaveras, one of the Mother Lode counties, is a land of beautiful scenery, possessing many spots of historic interest, a favorite vacation region, and offers many opportunities in mining, lumber business, stock raising, horticulture and viticulture. Several fine state highways lead into Calaveras and to its Big Tree Grove, Moaning Cave at Vallecito, Mercer Cave near Murphys, Angels Camp and San Andreas, immortalized by Bret Harte and Mark Twain, and the ghost towns of early mining days. At San Andreas stood, until 1926, the Metropolitan Hotel where the A PROJECT AS BIG AS THE PANAMA CANAL RIGHT IN YOUR OWN BACK YARD PATHFINDER (Continued from page 1) man set fire to it and it burned beat the band. The local company with its 12-man production fire pump and apparel came to put out the blaze. But before the big pump could fund properly half of the straw buildup, and the firemen then decided to let the flame run its course. And then all the boys had to was to cover up the ashes and home. CHINESE WORK VINEYARDS HERE A few years after this project was started between two-three hundred Chinamen oak here and were engaged in vineyards. A large two-story wooden building located on southwest corner of Las Angles and Chartres streets was used their headquarters, besides numerous small buildings scattered around in the block.

There is no Panama Canal in Southern California but there is an equally great—if not as well known—achievement rivalling it in bigness of conception, cost of execution and contribution to industrial development. In order to supply Central and Southern California with low-cost electrical power, the citizens who compose the Edison Company completed several almost unbelievable engineering feats. An army of thousands of men marched into the mountains and harnessed the waters of the High Sierras. At times as many as 8,000 men were employed. In one instance they worked years, blasting a tunnel through more than 13 miles of virgin granite. Instead of locks, they built huge dams; and erected 5 hydro-electric power plants—to serve the millions living in this territory. The result of the combined effort of thousands of California workers and investors is economical power—flowing constantly, day and night—to light a single lamp or turn the wheels of the largest factory.

At Carson Chapter One ANNA KARENINA Vronsky and Stiva quickened their pace as the whistle sounded the approach of the St. Petersburg train. "Quite a coincidence that you should be meeting your mother and I my sister at the same time," said Stiva. "It so much of a coincidence as my stumbling across you last night at the Gypsy Cafe," Vronsky laughed. "If I hadn't spent the rest of the night sobering you up you never have gotten here this morning." Stiva nodded gloomily. "Well, my sister Anna will fix things at home for me," he said at length. "She'll have to be a miracle worker to do it," answered Vronsky. "After all, Stiva, you tell me that Dolly knows the other woman—and found the letters. And you still expect your sister to make her believe you are a model husband?" "You don't know Anna or you wouldn't be so doubtful," sighed Stiva. "She's the wife of Alexander Karenin, the St. Petersburg official. And Dolly not only loves her, but respects her good judgment. They entered the depot as the train clanged its way alongside the platform. Vronsky moved slowly along the line of carriage windows until he saw his mother smiling and signalling to him. Then he stopped short in surprise. On the top step stood an exquisitely hurried away from the station. Once at home with Stiva and his family, Anna forgot the tragedy—but the memory of Vronsky she could not banish. It persisted throughout the long hours in which she pleaded with Dolly. It hovered over the days in which she devoted herself to Stiva's cause. It colored the happiness of her success—for eventually Dolly did forgive Stiva. In her heart, Dolly pitied Anna more than herself. Despite his faults, she loved her husband; but Anna could never love Karenin. Poor Anna. So young and so beautiful—and yet, tied for life to an elderly, pompous, egotistical, stupidly cold and formal husband. What Dolly did not know was that Anna's gaiety arose from the fact she knew she would soon see Vronsky again. Surely he would be at the Korsunsky's ball which all of them were to attend! And then, just before they left for the Korsunsky's ball, Kitty, Dolly's debutante sister, drew Anna aside and in a burst of confidence, confessed her own love for Vronsky. Anna's joyous anticipation crumbled. If Kitty loved Vronsky she must do nothing to hurt her. Throughout the ball, she avoided Vronsky, taking her place among the chaperones lined against her wall of the brilliant salon. But Vronsky willed it otherwise. And Kitty, taking refuge in the attention of Levin, who loved her, felt her heart break as she watched Vronsky's endless pursuit of an ecstasy of joy she up to the delight of Vronsky's arms. At the conclusion she smilingly annoyed to return home on train. She saw Kit and her heart ache realization of the hurt had dealt Kitty, and pain in renouncing As the St. Petersbury tried her through the snow storm, Anna the bleak countryside filled with a restless first station stop onto the platform.

It was not until the supper dance that Anna at last consented to dance with him. "I know it at the railroad station," Vronsky whispered to her as he held her in his arms. "Nothing has mattered since." Anna was radiant with happiness. She was seized with an overwhelming desire to live—to laugh to weep—to be tender—to live! "I will forget everything but this moment," she promised herself—"And then, tomorrow, I shall return to St. Petersburg and end forever this mad attraction."

"My fault," smiled Anna graciously; and the next moment she was in Stiva's arms, greeting him happily. Immediately she felt at ease. She knew she could command her poise if she avoided Vronsky's eyes. With this in mind she watched the old workman as he tested the rails and couplings. Tap, tap, tap went his hammer. Now the couplings. Now the rails. The rhythm of his work forced itself into Ana's consciousness. It played the obligato to the brief exchange of pleasantries between the Countess, Vronsky, Stiva and herself. It somehow sustained her as Vronsky took her hand in parting and she felt a tremor rush through her at his touch. As she withdrew her hand sharply, a scream of terror rent the air. The train puffed and chugged its way out of the depot. Out of nowhere broke a maelstrom of confusion, horror and chaos. Anna looked about wildly as people rushed from all sides to the end of the platform. There, on the rails, in the wake of the train which had just passed, lay the crushed figure of the workman who so few minutes before had murmured his apology and basked in the kindness of her smile. Vronsky moved toward her, taking her hand in his to reassure her. She raised her tear-filled eyes to his and he bent over her hand and kissed it. She thrilled to the touch of his lips. For a brief moment she lost all sense of the accident, the station, the very people about her. She came to herself with a start, her first glance falling upon men carrying the crushed body from the rails. Anna shivered. "It is an omen," she whispered, "an evil omen," and seizing Stiva's arm, she nodded briefly in farewell to Vronsky and his mother ENINA an ecstasy of joy she gave herself up to the delight of dancing in Vronsky's arms. At the conclusion of the dance, she smilingly announced her plan to return home on the morning train. She saw Kitty's face light, and her heart ached with the full realization of the hurt the evening had dealt Kitty, and with her own pain in renouncing Vronsky. As the St. Petersburg train carried her through the morning's snow storm, Anna brooded upon the bleak countryside, her heart filled with a restless sadness. At the first station stop she strode out onto the platform. The cold cleared her head and after a short brisk walk, she turned to enter her car. A man in military grab stood before her, blocking her path. "May I help you at all?" he asked. She looked up into the ardent gaze of Vronsky. In spite of herself, her face shone with joy. "I didn't know you were going to St. Petersburg today," she said. "Why this sudden change of plan?" "Why?" Vronsky's voice grew soft. "To be where you are. You know that." She brushed past him but he seized her hand. "Forgive me," he pleaded. "I had say it." "You shouldn't have said it," she answered. You must forget you said it. "I'll never forget anything of you," he murmured and drew close to her. "Stop!" She wrenched herself away. "Please," she begged. She returned. Anna doubled her attempts to carry out his social obligations that were hers as the wife of the great government official. But the memory of Vronsky pierced through the mainingless formalities of her duties and only with Sergei could she find some measure of peace. She sought the child out continually, until Karenin accused her of spoiling the boy and of interfering with the routine of his studies and playtime. Vronsky continued his pursuit of her. For years, Anna had gone everywhere alone, except for those few times when her husband found leisure from his work. Now that Vronsky was in St. Petersburg, and unattached, hostesses threw them together continually. Soon they were seen everywhere together. And so winter passed, and spring bloomed and summer waned. But it was not until the Countess Lidia's garden party that society openly declared them a scandal. CONTINUED NEXT WEEK DOWN GOES THE PRICE OF SHAVING COMFORT NOW!

She wrenched herself away. "Please," she begged. She rushed into her compartment, her face a mixture of bewilderment, terror and delight, and locked the door behind her. And there she remained throughout the journey, her heart pounding with the joy of his words, her mind helpless in its effort to concentrate on thoughts of her home, her husband and her child.
