Create Office of Engineer.

LOS ANGELES, Feb. S.-The Office
of county engineer was created by the
board Of supervisors when an ordi-
nance proposed by Supervisor Hamil-
ton was adopted.
The county engineer is J. w. Rea-
gan. He will not receive any compen-
sation for his services from the coun-
ty, but when the Los Angeles flood
control bonds are sold he will be paid
$3.50 per month
The engineers duties will be to
keep his eyes on the flood water con-
ditions in the county and investigate
damage done or threatened by flood
water in all parts of the county and
to advise the board of supervisors as
to the best methods of meeting the
difficulties.
The engineer will also represent the
county in it's cooperation with the en-
gineers of the United States govern
ment.
The engineer is allowed a secretary,
clerk, senior engineer craftsman, two
instrument men and two rod men.

State SCHOOL LANDS
SOLD FOR CULTIVATION
FEATURES OF LAW PASSED BY
LAST LEGISLATURE
Limit Under Act to Any One Person Is
800 Acres-List of Vacant Lands
Will Be Furnished by Sur
veryor-GeneraI

SACRAMENTO, Feb. 8. = School
lands suitable for cultivation are now
being sold by ~Surveyor-GeneralW w. S.
Kingsbury, pursuant to the provisions
of an act passed by the legislature of
1915, which is of special interest to
the prospective homeseekers in Cali
fornia. By this act of the legislature,
Surveyor-GeneralK Kingsbury is author
lied to accept applications to pur-
chase state school lands suitable for
cultivation in quantities not to exceed
800 acres. The very easy payments
required by the state and the length
of time allowed the settler to complete
his payments are the features of this
law that will appeal to the man of
small means.
Any person desirous of acquiring
cultivable land under it's provisions
must be citizen of the United States,
or have declared his intention of be-
coming a citizen, and he must be an
actual settler upon the land when he
makes application to the surveyor-gen-
eral to purchase.
If, upon examination, the land is
held to be suitable for cultivation and
the application approved, the applicant
is then required to pay only one-tenth
of the purchase price, with interest
upon the unpaid balance at the rate
of 6 per cent per annum. This inter
est is payable in advance on the first
day of each January, at which time the
applicant may pay as many one-tenths
of the purchase price as he wishes, or
he may simply pay the interest and
allow the principal to remain unpaid
during such reasonable time as may
be necessary to enable him to COM
plete his purchase, which, in no case,
will be less than five years after the
legislature may require full payment.
The surveyor-general will send free
to any applicant a list, segregated by
counties, of the vacant school lands
offered for sale.
The state lands remaining unsold
which are suitable for cultivation are
necessarily limited, for the reason that
the school lands have been subject to
sale for over sixty years.

100000 Troops by Spring

PARIS, Feb. 1.-THE Paris newspa-
pers publish further excerpts from the
interview of David Lloyd-George, min
lister of munitions, at the London cor
respondent of the Milan Secolo, in
which the minister was quoted as say
ing the allies are only just beginning,
and that they are gaining now, while
Germany is weakening. Some of the
excerpts follow:
1--WE have at present 100000 men
under arms" said Mr.. Lloyd-George,
according to the interviewer, ''and by
spring we will have 100000 of sol
diers, solid, fit and well equipped.
"This is a democratic war. If it
was not, l should have nothing to do
with it. I was opposed to the last war
that England engaged in, but in the
present war the future of democracy
in the whole world is involved. 1t is
a final struggle between military
and political liberty

for intermediates, and a dye works
In addition, cheap coke and electricity
would be produced for sale, for making
cheap steel.
DR.. Koebig's estimate of the cost OF
establishing the soda-ash unit is $780,.
600, and of the entire project $5,000,.
900.
Wonderful Possibilities
1t is scarcely possible to over-esti-
mate the immediate influence which
the reduction of the cost of soda-ash to
one-half it's present price will have in
stimulating our already existing indus
tries. Since it would at once put us on
an even footing with the centers of
the chemical industry in this country
and abroad, it would enable us to man
ufacture our own cyanide for mines
and orchards, as we'll as permit the
home production of a large line of fine
chemicals. Last, but not least, we
could in time not only supply our home
markets, but could enter the export
trade with certainty of being able
to hold our own against the keenest
competition.
DR.. Koebig gives as an illustration
the failure of glass factories on this
coast even when economically organ
lied and ably managed, due to the
high cost of soda-ash.
Tests California Coal
DR.. Koebig expects to accomplish
later an extension of the enterprise to
the utilization of one of the big Ignite
coal deposits in Monterey and San
Benito counties in the production of
coal-tar, low grade of coke and elec-
tricity. Some time ago he shipped
three tons of this soft coal to Pitts
burg, and there, under the most ac-
eurate and scientific observation, he
demonstrated that a ton of this coal
will produce the following values:
872 b.h.p. at 81 SO
60 gals. tar at 3c------------- 1.SO
70 lbs. ammonium sulphate at
o12c l.4o
soc lbs. coke at $3.50 per TON loo
Total SO. 81
Careful and liberal estimates place
the cost of such operation at 81 ton,
and the coal can be delivered at the
mouth of the pit at 81 ton. This
will give electricity at less than the
cost of it's manufacture by the aver
age hydro-electric plants. 1t would
provide cheap power in the soda-ash
manufacture The coke would reduce
iron ore, of which Southern California
has large deposits, to "iron SPONGE
and the smelling process would be
completed with the cheap electricity
The coal-tar would provide the raw
material for a coal-tar chemical indus
try. making possible finally aniline
dye industry.
