B. Davidson, state department of highways superintendent from Santa Ana, was the speaker. He was introduced by Lion Tevis Westgate. Davidson spent many years in Australia and knows the country and its people like a book. Australia, he says, is the oldest land in the world and is exceedingly rich in natural resources and minerals, with the exceptions of oil and nickel. A land the size of the United States with a population of only seven million people, practically all of whom live in or near the cities along the east coast, Australia offers big opportunity to future development and settlement, he said. Before the present war the country was devoted to sheep and cattle raising and some farming, with mining as its principal industrial pursuit. Since this war started, the speaker said, manufacturing has been developed to the point that Australia is almost self-supporting. The country furnishes 25 percent of the world's wool, he said, the sheep population being 120 million, in addition to 30 million cattle maintained. Herbert Hoover made his first fortune in the mining business in Australia, Davidson said. The native population of aboriginals has dwindled to 50,000 or 60,000, who live in the north part of the country where there are no whites. The natives are as primitive as they were 1,000 years ago and cannot be civilized, he said, since they die quickly under living habits of the white man. Game and fish are plentiful in the country and the forests are among the wonders of the world. Over 300 species of eucalipti, some varieties of which grow 500 feet tall, are among the leading hardwoods found there. There are 500 types of acacia. Many interesting features of the country were disclosed. For instance Australia has no draft law yet she musters a strong army of volunteers who are among the best fighters of the world, always in the fray when the British Commonwealth of Nations are involved. The country has its own government and operates independently of England but maintains its loyalty to the mother country, the speaker said. MUSCH ESTATE GOES TO WIDOW AND CHILDREN According to the will of the late C. A. Musch, prominent well to do Anaheim business man, the estate will be divided between the widow, Mrs. Pauline Musch, 559 South Indiana, and their six children all of this vicinity.
