A SIMILAR CASE At ALMA
City Attorney KreSS TeIegraphed Chicago Police
Found Man O. X.

Some three or four weeks ago our
business men will remember two or
three solicitors who appeared on our
street taking subscriptions for a
farm paper and giving the subscriber
a pair of spectacles as premium. 1t
was intimated at the time that the
men were taking that method of dis
posing of their spectacles in order to
avoid paving a city license which
would be necessary in case of selling
the spectacles. City Attorney Kress,
upon request of citv authorities tele-
graphed the chief of police of Chicago
where the paper was published and
found the publication for which the
gentleman were soliciting using that
method of increasing subscription
list, legitimate transaction. How
ever the same or similar bunch went
to Coldwater and commenced working
with the results as shown bv
the following from the Coldwater
Courier;
The third trial of what has come
TO be known as the spectacle case.
took place in Justice Kinnev's court
Yesterday afternoon and resulted in
the conviction of g. ". Rogers, on
the charge of selling on the streets
without a license. Rogers was ar
rested on June % by Officer Frank
Hart He is an agent of the Orange
Judd Farmer Co. and in connection
with the securing of subscriptions for
the paper. claimed TO give a pair of
spectacles with each subscription of
81. 90 Twice before the case has been
tried before jury. and each time they
were unable TO agree 1t developed in
the trial that Rogres received So cents
of every dollar as his commission. and
that the company furnished the
spectacles, which cost about - cents
so that the publishers received less
than three cents from each subscrip-
tion. The claim was made that thev
COulu duOlu W uO llllS dS lut lutlGdS-
ed substitution list enabled them TO
command higher advertising rates.
The point on which the case hinged
was whether the spectacles were
actually given away or if they formed
a part of the consideration for which
the 81 was paid. Numerous witnesses
were examined and the opposing at
torneys contended fercely for their re-
spective sides. The case finally wenr
to the jury at 5 ;l5 and after being out
over an hour they returned verdict
of guilty. The Orange Judd Co.
which is back of the defendant and
is a responsible concern, has authorized
Mr.. Chapion to take an appeal to the
circuit court and make test if
ncssary. They claim that the spec
tacles are one of several premiums
which thev give to subscribers. and
that in no sense do they sell or peddle
them

soundness Of our methods. The
day of the small, isolated tract is
past. Says T. B. Walker, million
aire timber king: at is only in
large tracts that timber can be
economically administered"
That tells the story. A great
forest draws TO itself every COM
mereial advantage. 1t justities
the installation of mills and fac
tories, to handle its product. A
small acreage does not. The
American Forestration Company
operates only on a scale that guar
antees every advantage to its pur-
chasers. That portion of its hold
ings here described is an unbrok-
en- tract of 1900 acres. This means
a forest of 100000 trees, repre-
senting a timber value on the
stump of more than three and
halt million dollars in single
cutting.

Eucalyptus Fills the Want

We know that the use of euca'
lyptus for every known purpose
for which oak or hickory are en-
ployed is limited only by the sup
ply. Eucalyptus lumber firms ON
the Coast are receiving orders
from every State in the Union for
bank, store and office furniture,
which far exceed their ability to
fill. and this wood is being used
in the useful trades as extensively
as the supply permits.
We know, on the authority OF
the Government and every expert,
that the eucalyptus is the fastest
growing hardwood in the world;
that in six to ten years it grows
as large as the white oak in 20 to
100: that this phenomenal ca
pacity for growth makes euca-
lyptus the Nations great hope in
the coming famine; that, in fact
the owners of eucalyptus will havo
a virtual monopoly of a commod'
ity which is as necessary to our
industrial life as the clothes we
wear.
Los Angeles herald., 1909-11-21
GIendrden

created an epoch in the eucalyptus
industry. The one aim of euca-
lyptus growing as a money-mak-
ing enterprise is a maximum of
growth IN the minimum of time.
Anything interfering with this
end is a defect in the commercial
plan. The necessary factors for
this result are: an ample, mex
haustible water supply for surface
irrigation; the richest soil the
State affords; the right location
with respect to the market; per-
feet transportation facilities; the
perpetual care of the growing tim
Der by the operating company, and
a forest of such magnitude that
1t commands every advantage in
the lumber trade. The lack of
any one of these features means
lessened profits.
With all these essentials in
mind, GLENARDEN was chosen,
after months of careful search.
Other tracts may possess individ-
ual traits of pronounced merit,
but in the combination of all the
features necessary for perfect re-
suits GLENARDEN stands with
out a rival.
Los Angeles herald., 1909-11-21
"OverprodEction"

Is a bugbear which will never dis
turb the owner of eucalyptus.
There might be an overproduction
of gold, copper, oil, iron, wheat,
oranges, grapes or cotton, but 1t
would be a physical impossibility
to have an overproduction of hard
wood timber.
If all the eucalyptus now grow
ing in he United States, and
every acre set aside today for It's
cultivation, were matured and
ready for the market now, the
supply would not keep the saws
of the Nation busy for one day.
In sixteen years our hardwood
timber supply will be gone, except
for eucalyptus. What then? The
owners of eucalyptus will own
practical monopoly of the hard
wood of the country. How much
will this timber be worth? If it
is worth $25 a thousand standing
in the forest today, what will 1t
be worth when it comprises the
total available hardwood supply?
1t is not an overproduction that
is to be feared, but an underpro-
duction which it is impossible to
avert.
Los Angeles herald., 1909-11-21

No more important feature exists
in a commercial timber project.
The main line Of the Southern
Pacific Railroad crosses our for

Our Geographical Location
is perfect, the forest lying mid
way between the principal cities
of the San Joaquin Valley and
Los Angeles to the south, and San
Francisco and the large Bay cities
to the north, which insures the
best possible market for the prod
uct.
Still another advantage is the
possibility of rafting the timber
from our forest down the San Joa-
quin River to San Francisco Bay,
if the need arises.
The Size of Our Forest
is a guarantee of the commercial
Los Angeles herald., 1909-11-21
What Does This Meau2

The recognition of these facts
has started a movement that is
already world wide. 1t means
that the eucalyptus industry is
going to outstrip in value every
other industry on the Pacific
Coast. From the farthest States
in the Union. and from abroad
money is flowing in an ever-in-
creasing stream to this invest
ment-the one investment ever
known where overproduction is an
utter impossibility.
1t means the introduction OF
new standards In the eucalyptus
industry. No longer may any but
the best lands be used for euca-
lyptus, nor may one essential con-
dition for its perfect growth be
disregarded. 1t is for this reason
that
Los Angeles herald., 1909-11-21
Comparison Is Futile

The water facilities of Glen
arden alone make its acreage
worth much more than the pres
ent price. Water-t0Gter IN ane1-
bauStibIe dbunddnce-is the magic
element that produces the WIZARD
rv Of California soil. And when
to this feature are added the un-
riyaIed quality of the soil; the
care and culture of the trees, not
merely for a couple of years, but
from seeding to market; the free
ing of the buyer from every ex-
pense beyond the original pur-
chase price until his holdings
Weld their returns; and providing
facilities for marketing at a profit
the holdings of any purchaser
who may be obliged to sell be-
fore maturity-all combine to con-
fer upon the acreage of Glenarden
a value in no sense measured by
the present price.
No acreage com bining such an
array Of advantages has eUer been
offered in the eucalyptus industry.
The seeding trees for this great
reserve are growing now, in read
mess for transplanting. The
value of these trees to the buyers
is noao accruing daily. Cash pur-
chasers reap the benefit of an i'm
portant reduction, while the In
stallment plan of the Company
permits the wage Garner to get
the benefit of the increasing value
of his growing trees during the
term of his payments. By the
time his payments are completed
his holdings will have grown Inn
mensely valuable.
The purchaser of GLENARDEN
acreage buys no stock; he buys
the land, with a perfect title, and
no matter how small his holdings
he shares all the advantages of
the largest holders, as all holdings
represent a specified interest in
a 100-acre grove. This ownership
involves no cost, beyond the orig
inal purchase price, from the time
he buys until he receives the
profits from his timber.

OF Supreme Importance

are the character and location Oh
the land designed for eucalyptus
growing. The eucalyptus may live
in the desert, on inferior soil, or
without water to feed its early
growth; but if it does less well
under such poor conditions than
it would do in localities of more
rainfall, abundant surface water
and richer soil, then the latter
advantages are absolutely essen
tial to commercial results-they
mean vastly increased profits. The
presence of ideal conditions may
easily mean a difference Of a mil
lion dollars in timber UdlNe at one
cutting in forest the size OF
GLENARDEN.

University of California, in an
swer to the question, From what
kind Of land will eucalyptus re-
turn the greatest profit in the
shortest timer;
Los Angeles herald., 1909-11-21
Our Water Supply

has never even been approached
in land devoted to eucalyptus,
No tree that has had to struggle
through its early life with a scant
water supply can fully regain the
growth lost during that period.
Trees we'll irrigated when young
make twice the growth of trees
on the same soil unaided by water.
The phenomenal growth of euca'
lyptus is due very largely to its
great capacity for consuming wa
ter.

miles on deep t0dtercourSe, 200
feet 1oide and 20 feet deep, tner-
hauStibIe the year around.

Best Ldnd Necessary

That reply is the definition OIL
GLENARDEN. This reserve lies
in the rich alluvial district OF the
famous county of Fresno whlch
produces more wealth from Its soil
than any county in the world
Upon this soil are found the most
nrolific orchards and vineyards in
california. GLENARDEN lies in
the choicest portion of the rich
lowlands of pure alluvial deposit.
without exception, its soil is not
surpassed By any spot in Cali
fOrnid.
Los Angeles herald., 1909-11-21
The Price Must Rise

The value of such land is ris-
ing rapidly, and before long such
acreage as GLENARDEN must
sell for more than flrst-class
planted orange land. The returns
from eucalyptus justify that price
today. Only by coming in now
can you profit by the present
prices. You never can again.
From every State in the Union
there comes a flood of responses
to this great opportunity.
This great reserve is being
taken rapidly. If you would take
advantage of the lowest price at
which this acreage will ever sell,
you should act promptly. By all
means get the value of these
splendid trees behind you.

Small Tracts

are commercially Handicapped, Just
as the owner of an orange grove
too small to attract to itself trans
portation facilities is deprived OF
his market. No matter what may
be the value of his crop, it rots
on the ground. The size of our
forests places us in a dominating
position, exactly the reverse of the
small tract owner, and our method
of selling insures to the smallest
holder of acreage in Glenarden

inhering to the holder OF thou
sands of acres.

profits. The forest is divided and
sold in groves of approximately
100 acres each, which are market
ed as a whole. This permits the
holder of even a single acre to
share every advantage OF the
large forest owners. This insures
higher prices for his holdings
than would be possible If his trees
were isolated and thus deprived

the larger acreage of weather.

This water feature is OF incai-

part understanding plays in pre-
pairing eucalyptus timber for GER
tain valuable uses.
The entire tract is sub-irrigated
by a water stratum only 10 to 10
feet below the surface. The roots

We Know It's Vsiue

We know the market prices OF
oak. hickory, walnut and mahog-
anv. and we know, on the best
authority-namely, the lumber
trade-that eucalyptus timber on
the stump today is worth $25 per
thousand. From this we know
that a valuation of $5 per tree at
a timber age, eight or ten years,
is ultra-conservative.

yield their owner $4,000 at a single
cutting-that five acres will earn
him $4,000.
This represents an increase OF
120 per cent year on the pnr-
chase price!

who can refute them. Beside
them every other legitimate in

Los Angeles herald., 1909-11-21
The Proof

uC AAOOA
We know that eucalyptus outranks
every other California invest
ment because of certain unassail'
able facts. The first of these Is
the existence of an imminent tim
ber famine. The average man
never thinks of the fire escape un-
til he hears the alarm. SO this
country has ignored the approach
of a great calamity-awaiting the
day when it will awake and ask
why its orders for hardwood are
not filled. why the wheels of great
industries are still. 1t will be
told that hardwood for common
use is thing of the past, that the
little that still remains has placed
It in the rank of luxuries; that
those who own it possess a gold
mine.
Then he will recall that the Gov,
ernment for years uttered its
warning of the approaching crisis,
and that those who saw the In.
evitable and acted upon this
knowledge were the wise ones OF
their generation. Every man to-
day who has any knowledge OF the
situation admits this fact, that as
rapidly as the demand for hard
wood is increasing the supply Is
decreasing. Roosevelt, Pinchot
and every expert in the national
service have said it. The situa'
ton is that OF a great demand and
no supply.
Second. the price Of lumber has
doubled in the last ten years, and
the extent of its future rise only
the imagination can predict.
Every foot of hardwood timber
procurable today has its scheduled
price, and the timber barons of the
country form our richest class.
