State Mineral Production.

Mineral output in California during
the year 1915 amounted to 500, ,663 1863
worth of crude materials. There we're
40 different mineral substances, and
of the So counties in the state, all but
two contributed some mineral product
AS compared with the 1914 output,
the two notable features are the al
most startling incheases in some of
the metals, and the decrease in pc
troleum, both in quantity and total
value. The result, however, is net
Increase in the grand total value of
s. ,348,596 over the 1914 total.
Of the metals: Antinony again en-
tered the active list after an absence
of several years. Copper increased
over 1O,OOO,000 pounds in amount and
S3,114,192 in value. Gold increased
s. ,788,8O0. Quicksilver increased 25
irer cent in amount and more than
dc ubled in value. Tungsten increas-
CD from a value of $18O,575 to $1,OO5,-
ACT. Zinc increased from 399,641
pounds, worth $2O,381. to 13,O43,411
pounds, valued at S1,6l7,3S3.
Petroleum decreased approximately
100000 barrels in amount, but the
average price per barrel was slightly
higher, SO that the net result was a
decrease in value of $3,9S3,272.
California yields commercially a
81 eater number and variety of min
eral products than any other state in
the United States, and possesses lat
ent possibilities in other items as
yet undeveloped. The total annual
value of her output is surpassed by
but four other states-they being the
gleat coal and iron producers of east
cf the Mississippi river. OF several
items, including borax, chrome and
magnesite, California is the sole pro-
ducer. For several years we have
been leading all others in gold, pc
troleum, platinum and tungsten; but
surpassed in 1915, for the first time,
in petroleum by Oklahoma

Selling Whole MiTkProving Profitable
to the Dairymen Around FL Centr0

The Imperial Valley Creamery Co., Inc, started
new deal in dairying in the Valley when it began
last February to buy whole milk. 1t was an expert
ment with and nearly everyone advised that whole
milk could not be handled through the summer
months
"The proof of the pudding is in the eating" is
an old saying We have given the whole milk busi-
ness most thorough trial and found that for gen
eral quality and easy handling the Imperial Valley
can furnish as good whole milk any other section
of California.
Now ready 70 back up our judgment in
this matter by making price to the farmers that
will mean money for milk than before.
In handling whole milk cost of hauling is an i'm
portant factor which must be considered Our pur-
chases for the present must therefore be confined to
distance.
Beginning September 1st our prices will be as
follows:
Whole Milk seven cents over Los Angeles quota
tons.
Sweet Cream three cents over Los Angeles quo
tations. a7e@ gssssaTaE #s5
Sour Cream one cent over Los Angeles quota
tons.
The whole question of price is based on quality.
From whole milk and sweet cream, make the
best butter turned out in California. Good butter
increases the consumption. We have found an in
crease of as much as 35 per cent where we have
placed poor butter with the kind of butter we can
make from Imperial Valley whole milk and sweet
cream.
Imperial Valley farmers cannot afford to turn
down this opportunity to make more profits. The
Imperial Valley Creamery Co., Inc, has given you
this opportunity and we ask your patronage.

BESIDES THEY DON'T
MEAN 1T

IA ROSPERITY and peace
cause some people to
worry for the nations
soul and future. They think a
life of ease will make people
flabby and cowardly. If such
critics knew much they would
not worry. They would then
realize that the average citizen
is not being spoiled by too much
prosperity or too much ease.
They would also realize that
people who are surfeited with
luxury are not the people who
would go to war if war should
come. They would leave the
blessing" to others. War
does not strengthen or enrich
it degrades and destroys. OF
all forms of lunacy the halluci-
nation about war being a good
thing for the country is the
most difficult to understand.

ANOTHER JAPANESE
MENACE

.MEWS print paper has
" doubled in price since the
~ beginning of the war and
some other grades of paper
have gone still higher toward
the sky.
There is curiosity as to how
much of this advance has been
due to supply and demand and
how much to combination. Fur
ther interest is aroused by a re-
port from Chicago that a rep.
resentative of a japanese pa
per manufacturing house is
there to buy $4,000 tons of

with the Pacific Power &
Light Co. is something to be
Investigated carefully. There
is need of full publicity and
consideration before action of
any sort is taken.
If the council enters into a
10 year agreement with the
Pacific Power & Light Co. does
it mean we must forego for
another decade the propositi-
on of modern lighting facili-
ties for our business streets?
Does it mean we must fore
60 the benefits of any advance
ment that may be made in IL
Elimination during the next 10
years?
Does it mean the city will
be so obligated to the electric
company as to preclude the es-
tablishment of a municipal
light plant if one should be-
come advisable and desirable?
These and other questions
become pertinent in view of the
light company's effort to ex-
tend its street lighting con-
tract. Ten years is a long time
and many things may happen
within that period. No private
user of electricity would like
to bind himself upon this sub
iect for such a term of years.
Why should it be necessary for
the city to do so?
If the city council represents
the people of PendletOn it will
look thoroughly into this sub
ject and ascertain local wishes
before going farther in the
matter.

stick to the end. British Tor
les are intent upon humbling
Germany, but many of them
sympathize with the Austro-
Hungarian purpose to crush
democracy in the Balkans;
they would curb democracy at
home, kill Irish Home Rule and
steal back their lost power for
the Lords. British Liberals are
resolved upon freeing the sup
pressed Italian, Serb and Rou-
manian subjects of Charles l.,
and upon treating fairly even
the Greeks and Bulgarians
when map-making begins, so
that another Berlin congress
may not foster new wars by
new iniquities. Their motto is
Thorough; and Never Again.
American democracy must
feel with German liberals their
wish for peace; with Entente
liberals their desire for a peace
that need not foment war. The
