Harrison and Scott Douglass of Los Angeles were sent to the county jail for a 90-day term by Justice J. B. Cox today. Harrison was charged with carrying a concealed weapon.

The young men were arrested by County Motorcycle Officer O. K. Carr. The gun, which they were carrying, was a Smith and Wesson 32-20 shot model.

The gun is alleged to have been cured on a loan made to a friend in Los Angeles. The young men claim they were on their way to San Diego where a job had been promised them.

LEAGUE OF SOUTHWEST WILL TELL PUBLIC ABOUT PLANS RIVERSIDE. Cal., Dec. 9.—Tell the public what it's all about. This is the aim of the League of the Southwest which is in special three day conference here for the purpose of discussing the Colorado River problem. A forum for a full, free and open discussion of the problem is the goal toward which the league is working. Officials of the league agree that the right public sentiment based on complete understanding of all the facts will automatically result in a right solution of the problem which will reclaim the largest possible area of land and develop the largest possible ultimate total of hydro-electric power. The Colorado River is the Nile of America. It flows for about 200 miles through a canyon and power can, be developed for every foot and drop of the river from the Glen Canyon dam to the mouth of the canyon. Below that in Arizona and California the irrigation of two or three million acres would create arid-tropical country like Egypt.

The recommendation of Dean Hasson, fire chief, that the city council appoint a fire marshal for the city of Anaheim received favorable consideration by the councilmen last night. This deputy would have police authority and his special duties would consist of enforcing the fire regulations here. Violations of ordinances relative to rubbish on property, and burning trash and paper later than 10 o'clock in the morning would come under his jurisdiction. The council referred the recommendation to the city manager with a request that he make a report at the next meeting. Two Sub-Divisions Accepted Two sub-divisions were accepted by the board at the meeting last night. The J. Lloyd Moore tract of eleven acres, south of the South street tract and the Allen resub-division were approved. Demand More Sidewalks M. R. Fisher and H. E.

There are some Mediterranean sweets and some seedlings, but local packing plants will not begin the packing and shipment of valencias again until April. While the prices for the season's crop has not been large, the orange industry has not suffered from the depression like other agricultural lines and with a good crop and favorable conditions which are characteristic of this section there is money in orange growing even at this season's prices, officials pointed out.
