SAN GABRIEL MOUNTAIN
TRAILS IN GOOD SHAPE
Supervisor of Angeles National
Forest Praises Work Done

r. H. Charlton, supervisor of the
Angeles national forest, says that
trails leading into the San Gabriel
mountains are in better condition this
spring than they have ever been be-
fore.
Men have been at work on trails and
firebreaks in the forest service for
more than three months and about fifty
miles a month have been repaired or
constructed. About half this mileage
is on new trails and the mounte<ls
are very much more accessible than
previously.
In the forest appropriation bill now
pending in congress, the Angeles for
est is given about $4,000 more than
any other forest in the United States,
According to Supervisor Charlton, this
is because the people appreciate the
work of the forest service and are will
ing to supplement it with funds of
their own to aid in the work of water
conservation

At 10 o'clock tonight the second spe-
cial prize period in The Herald's $25,-
900 voting contest comes to a close. Up
until that time candidates will cast
votes in an effort to show increases, as
ten special prizes are TO be given to the
ten candidates showing the ten greatest
increases between April 10 and April
% inclusive. The vote standing of can
didates is printed on page 6, and, as is
shown there, the increase scored up to
yesterday evening is small and away
out of proportion to the value of prizes
for which they lead.
Another important reason for activity
before 10 o'clock this evening is the fact
that the vote schedule makes drop at
that hour. Until then votes will be
counted as follows:

and lower California, can be found a
veritable but scattered army of home

a determination to rout the coyote and

of centuries and make "the desert bios

WASTED ROAD WORK
ICreston Advertised

It is no doubt true that a great deal
of money that is now spent on streets
and country roads is wasted. In many
cases the work is only temporary and,
while Tor short period after the labor
is performed the street or road is in
a passabie condition, the first heavy
downpour puts them in such shape that
TO get over them with a load is al
most an impossibility. If every cent
of money spent in fixing up the roads
were expended intel1igently every dol
lar that has gone into the roads would
be money expended for permanent i'm
provement. It is not enough for a
road maker to say my father did these
things such way, and that is good
enough for me-" The paternal ancestor
may have done the very best possible
with the knowledge he had In his day
regarding such = thing as road build
ing. The world has not stood still and
as we have advanced in wisdom in
every walk Of life so we have advanced
in the art of constructing highways
and to use the primitive methods OF
the forefathers is as sensible as to ask
the people of today to use the flint and
steel

BACK TO THE SOIL
Huntington Hawkeye.I

There has been much buncombe
about this Back to the SoiP' move
ment Men who know nothing about
farming. preached the Back to the
Soir' doctrine to other men, who knew
nothing about farming and who had
become tramps and beggars, or who
depended upon public support IN the
large cities. And, Of course, nobody
paid any attention to the people who
preached the gospel Of Back to the
Farm"
But, Of late, the matter has been
taken up in different manner, and
by practical people. The clerk, who Is
industrious and capable and honest, but
who has grown weary OF the battle and
effort that leads TO nowhere; the me-
chanic in the big city. who has made
good wages, been economical and when
things clouded up, had TO pass thru
long period of enforced fdleness, and
hence became discouraged; the re-
taller, who sees nothing ahead burt year
after year of simply playing even,
these are the class Of men who are
being interested in the Back to the
Soil" movement.
To simply dump lot OF poor from
the city on the farms, would benent
nobody and in a very short time these
city poor would all be back in their
favorite haunts. It il the people whose
pride has not been broken, but who
are sick OF the struggle and strife Of
the city, of the everlasting effort, that
leads to no results It f. those people
