BACK TO SOIL FOR
FOLSOM CONVICTS

SACRAMENTO, Dec. 28.-Warden J.
J. Smith is ready to start the "back-to-
the-soil' movement among the convicts
at Folsom prison.
For a number of years most of the
convicts at Folsom have been breaking
rock and building cellhouses and other
structures on the prison grounds. Now
that the buildings are completed, the
prison directors will have to find some
other way to keep the prisoners busy.
There are 125 acres of tillable soil
owned by the state adjining the
prison. There are, on the average,
LOO convicts in Folsom prison. The
warden believes that intensive farm
ing would keep several hundred con
victs busy, while others could attend
to orchards, vineyards and big herd
of cattle.
Some of the prisoners have been en-
gagged in setting out fruit trees, and
the results have been such that Smith
sees great possibilities in farming the
tract thoroughly.
1t is expected that 100 Folsom pris-
oners will be called to work on state
highways, while the ''bad actors"
would remain inside the walls and
pound rock.

ENORMOUS LOSS IN
OCEAN PARK FIRE

OCEAN PARK, Dec. 2S.-Flames
starting in the Ocean Park dance hall
swept the $1,00O,OO0 Fraser pier at
Ocean Park early Monday morning,
reducing a score of concessions to
ashes before a shift of the wind from
northwest to west allowed the fremen
to control the blaze. The fire started
at 12:45 o'clock, and so rapid was its
spread that within an hour serious
alarm was felt that large portion OF
the city was endangered.
Members of the Los Angeles fire de-
partment were rushed to Ocean Park
to assist the Santa Monica and Venice
fire fighters and hundreds of citizens
in battling the blaze.
At least half of the pier was fire
swept, and the loss was estimated at
$150,0O0 by Maynard Gunsul, manager
of the State Investment company, les
see of the pier.

U.S.. TO MAP 1000 MOUNTAIN

WORK WILL BE BEGUN ABOUT
JANUARY FIRST
Uncle Sam Wants to Popularize the
Mountain Habit = Will Survey
1000 Homesites in the
Angeles Forest

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 28.-A recon
naissance of Santa Barbara, Angeles
and Cleveland national forests is to be
made by three parties of men work
ing under the direction of J. o. Nor
row of the forest service, for the pur-
pose of mapping out suitable sites for
summer homes in the mountains. The
work will be begun Jan. 1.
Today there are some 1000 summer
home permits in effect in Angeles for
est, more than exist in all the other
163 national forests in the United
States.
Using the Angeles forest as lab
oratory, Uncle Sam is about to try a
new experiment He wants to popular
ize the mountain habit, and to that
end proposes to survey, map and get
ready for occupancy between 5000 and
1000 summer home sites in this for
est. The coZist places in the beautiful
canyons within reach of Los Angeles
will be selected. The same will be
done in the Santa Barbara forest, ad
joining the Angeles on the north, and
the Cleveland, adjoining the Angeles
on the south
does not mean that those who lease
Uncle Sans building sites will be re-
stricted to use them during the sum-
mer months only. On the contrary,
Mr.. Charlton and Mr.. Morrow say they
will be only too happy to have the les
sees use their sites all the year round,
if they so desire.
The sites will be selected for eli
mate, for elevation, for proximity to
the foothills and cities, for nearness to
mountain streams, etc. In every in
stance sites will be selected where
water may readily be had.
The charge which the government
will exact for this service will be but
SIS year. The size of each building
site will depend upon the topography of
the land, but where possible lots at
least quarter of an acre in size will
be staked.
Under the law a person may be is
sued a permit for a summer home for
a period of from one to thirty years.

U. S. CHEMIST FINDS
NEW POTASH FORMULA

NEW YORK, Dec 2S.-A new pro
cess for producing potash, now greatly
in demand by all nations, but con
trolled by Germany, has been discov-
cred by Howard F. Chappell, one of the

mineral. A mine in Utah, 200 miles
south of Salt Lake City, already is in

New Radio Device Relays Wireless

ANN ARBOR, Mich, Dec. 2S.-Dr.
Ray E. Hall, scientist and inventor,
says he has perfected system of
wireless receiving by which messages
can be recorded automatically on tape,
with great speed. Nor is the speed
the greatest factor in DR.. Halls inven-
ton, the technical name for which is
wireless relay" for by means of his
invention wireless messages may be
relayed automatically to wire tele-
graph line by the same action which
records the message. The result is,
Hall says, that wireless message may
be sent by ship at sea to point on
land, and thence relayed by wire lines
to any point desired, thus opening up
new possibilities for wireless teleg-
raphy by connecting it to the wire sys-
tenn.

If such action is justified in the one in stance it is clearly justified in the other. If we are fair and inn partial it is the duty of the presi- dent to treat the aggressions and injuries of England in exactly the same manner as he has treat ed the aggressions and injuries of Germany. To be neutral we must be just and exact as much from the one than we exact from the other.

NATIVE SENTENCED
 ON LARCENY CHARGE

According to advices received in Fairbanks, Commissioner Ger aghty, of the Iditarod, sentenced Lee Howard, native, to 100 days in jail for the larceny of a vol verine skin. The sentence follow ed a plea of guilty by the de- fendant.
 There would be nothing worth commenting on in the case were it not for the fact that it presents an unusual circumstance. The case involves the application of tribal customs which conflict with white mans laws, and the effect of the punishment will probably serve as a warning that the terri torial laws arc paramount and must be respected.
 It appears that a native re- gently died, and his widow took possession of his effects. Ac- cording to native customs, the relatives of the deceased had a prior claim on his property, and in seeking to enforce these claims, Howard is said to have stolen the property of the dc ceased.
 The arrest was made by Dep uty Marshal Percy Charles and necHssitated a trip to Shagluk from the Iditarod' It took I3 dogs just one week to make the trip.
