CALIFORNIA; MINERAL
PRODUCTION FOR 1915

Mineral output in California during
the year 1915 amounted to $o6,6o3,.
800 worth Of crude materials. The-C
were forty-nine different minera
substances, and of the hfty-eight
counties in the State all but two con
tributed some mineral product.
AS compared with the 1914 output
the two notable features are the al
most startling increases in some o.
the metals, and the decrease in petro-
leum, both in quantity and total va
lue. The result, however, is me-
increase in the grand total value OF
S3,348, 500 over the 1914 total
OF the metals: anthony again en-.

of several years. Copper increased

SHIPPING BILL TERMED
MENACE BY HUGHES

Charles Evans Hughes, in his speech
at Milwaukee, Wednesday outlined
his attitude toward the protection
on American rights as follows:
! propose that we shall protect
and enforce American rights on land
and sea. propose that we shall pro-
tect and enforce American rights on
land sea without fear and I'M
hinchingly with respect to American
lives, American property and Ameri-
can commerce We have no unstated
policies, no intrigues We stand four
squared to the world, representing
the United States and it interests and
its interests alone, first, last and all
the time
Mr.. Hughes reference to American
/ rights was contained in a speech in
which he termed democratic claims
for having aided business, and out
lined the republican program. In so
doing, lie dealt chiefly with subjects
discussed in President Wilson's speech
of acceptance.
The shipping bill was characterized
as "menance, the sooner removed the
better" The Underwood tariff he
called a measure that must be un
done if we are to have a sure basi
of prosperity in this country" He
reiterated that the antitrust lay in
stead OF being clarified by de,nitior
had been made more uncertain"

UNIVERSITY PROFESSOR

Dr. George H. Allen, the new mem
Der of the Latin department OF the
University has arrived on the campus.
DR.. Allen has spent large part o.
the past year in the preparation Of .
literary work of considerable magni-
tude. The first volume OF his book
THE Great War" has recently been
published, and late issue of the
Historical Review has praised Mr.. Al
EMS work in high terms. Because OF
his wide knowledge of present con
litions as well as his familiarity witt.
classical culture, the students at the
university are fortunate to come in
contact with this distinguished
scholar.

Spring.

Spring is looked upon by many
as the most delightful season o.
the wear, but this cannot be said
,,f the rheumatic. The cold and
damp weather brings on rheuma-
tic pains which are anything but
pleasant. They can be relieved
however, by applying Chamber
,ain's Liniment. Obtainable every
where.

The president is DESTROYS that poll,
tics should stop at the waters edge.
which is his way Of intimating that
the discussion of our foreign relations
should not be featured in the cam
oaign. The republicans will hardly
comply with the suggc 5tion. There
have been too many "great Diplomatic
victories" heralded from the White
House in the past two years to admit
of tabooing a discussion of them.

THE, PURCHASE OF DANISH
WEST INDIES

The treaty providing for the pur
chase from Denmark of the Danish
West Indies for $25,000000 has beef
ratified by the senate There was nc
-oll call, and less than half dozen
senator's, including senators Norris
Jones and Clapp, voted against it.
Favorable action on the treaty at
this session of congress had been
strongly urged by the administra-
ton, particularly because of the in
luence it might have upon the stu
alton in Denmark, where the low.
er house of parliament has APP
proved it. A fight is being made
Tor ratification in the upper house.
A vote tonight followed several
hours of debate i'm executive SEES
sion, while the senate was waiting
'or the conference report on the
emergency revenue bill, the only
obstacle to adjournment of congress
Finding that no serious opposition
developed, administration leaders ar
ranged for recess from Sis to $50
p. m. to round up a quorum and to
force final action.
An amendment by Senator Norris
to reduce the purchase price from
S25,o0O,OO0 to $l0000,000 was de-
feated by an overwhelming vote
md the treaty was approved just
as it was signed by Secretary Ian
ing and Minister Brun on August
4th.
Negotiations for the purchase. Of
the islands have been in progress
internationally for half a century.
Because of their strategic value,
particularly since the construction
Of the Panama canal, the American
government has been anxious to ac-
luire them not only with a view
20 establishing a naval base there, but
TO prevent the islands from falling in
to the hands of any foreign power.
German interference was credited
with blocking negotiations on the sub
iect in 1902 after the United States
Senate had ratified treaty.

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
greater number and variety of minera'
products than any other State in the
United States, and possesses latent
possibilities in other items as yet un
developed. The total annual value
Of her output is surpassed by but
four other states-they being the great
coal and iron producers of east Of
the Mississippi river. OF several
items, including borax chrome and
magnesite, California is the sole pro-
Queer. 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.
