LITTLE LEAK—UP TO 35 FEET Fullerton Irrigator Speaks Approvingly of Reservoir "The Yorba reservoir is demonstrating that wise heads were at the head of the water company when it was built," said a well-known Fullerton irrigator this week, "for there is no leak up to 35 feet. The dam is as nearly perfect as can be, and there is little if any seapage at all. Above the 35 feet there is leakage, and everybody expected it. Engineer Schuyler said the upper levels would leak for five years, and we expect moderate leakage. But it is getting less every year, and in another year or two will be so slight as scarcely to amount to anything. There is only one man in Fullerton who is kicking against the reservoir, and his kicks don't amount to much. This gentleman has lived in Fullerton for twenty-five years, and participated in the strenuous times of the early days when men had to put up a fight for their water rights. "Here it is the first of June," said he, "and there's an abundance of water. The Yorba reservoir is largely responsible for this. And no night irrigation. I tell you we live in the garden spot of the world." He expressed the opinion the water company could dispose of 2000 shares of stock as a result of building the reservoir, and with the construction of the La Habra reservoir, at some time in the future, it could sell an additional issue of 4000 shares. Here are 6000 shares which in his opinion there would be water enough to supply with the building of ROUTING CUPID BY PHONE There’s Always More or Less Trouble When a Party Line Is in Use Out on a quiet East End street lives a little married woman who will have a lot to answer for on the last day. This woman has a telephone that is on a party line. The other “party” on the line is a boarding house where a half dozen young men take their meals, each young man having, of course, one or more goils to fret about. These young men can up from the boarding house while they’re picking their teeth and ter meals, to make definite and certain arrangements for sitting in the cozy corners that they have picked out for theirs. The result is that when a married woman on the line wants to call up her dressmaker or make a bridge date, she has to wait for hours at a time while the members of the handholders’ crowd with hearts keeping syncopated time together, e’en though far apart, piling their conversation back and forth over the wires. She thought for a time of asking the telephone company to put her on another line. But she thought then of another way to get possible relief. Now whenever there is a conversation going on over the line she “listens in.” The other night young man at the boarding house niftled an East Side creature that he would be out to do a fireside companion turn that evening. Then the married woman in a soft gurgle voice butted in. “Why,” says she, “you can't get out there. You told that Olive gl He expressed the opinion the water company could dispose of 2000 shares of stock as a result of building the reservoir, and with the construction of the La Habra reservoir, at some time in the future, it could sell an additional issue of 4000 shares. Here are 6000 shares which in his opinion there would be water enough to supply with the building of the La Habra reservoir. At $60 per share — and he believed the stock would go to $100 before the last of the treasury stock is gone—and figure up for yourself how much the water company would be to the good. There is wisdom in what this irrigator says. "Talk about building the La Habra reservoir might call out a howl from the man who bucked the Yorba reservoir, but, say, put him in charge of the work as engineer, and he'd recommend making the dam ten feet higher!" WATER CONSERVATION Meeting Yesterday at Riverside To Perfect Plan A meeting of Southern California irrigators was held yesterday at Riverside, to form a corporation to take charge of the work of water spreading as a means towards the conservation of water for irrigation, as proposed under the new act passed by the last legislature whereby certain lands in the Santa Ana river bed were withdrawn from entry in order that they might be used for the purpose referred to. It is understood that the government simply gives the land for the purpose and those interested in the conservation of irrigating water provide for the payment of all expense necessary to carry out the plan. It is further understood that already a voluntary contribution sufficient for experimental work has been secured and is available and at the meeting a committee was appointed to take charge of the work. Orange county was represented by teachers throughout the country have been invited by the United States Forester to cooperate with the Forest Service in an effort to obtain more definite knowledge of the characteristics of the most important forest trees of the United States. To do this it will be necessary to obtain a large number of volunteer observers who will collect material on the time of leafing, blooming, and fruiting of the various kinds of forest trees. In his letter inviting the cooperation of teachers then of another way to get possible relief. Now whenever there is a conversation going on over the line she "listens in." The other night young man at the boarding house notified an East Side creature that he would be out to do a fireside companion turn that evening. Then the married woman in a soft gurgle voice butted in. "Why," says she, "you can't get out there. You told that Olive girl you'd be over to-night." The East Side party supposed that interruption came from somebody at the boarding house who knew just what every boarder had booked for the week. That's one case that this revengeful married woman has put on the blink and will have to answer for. Then a few days ago this woman heard two rings for the boarding house. She answered the phone herself, and as nobody answered at the boarding house she did the talking. "Is Mr. Jones there?" a pert voice inquired. "Why no," replied the woman with the Mrs. to her name, "he went over to Long Beach to be married tonight." The next day when that supposedly married-at-the-beach man sought to book a place on a certain pillow strewn davenport, he got his plenty. If that boarding house doesn't pay in a private line soon shattered manances will be lying about the plans as thick as napkin rings. STUDY OF TREES Teachers to Cooperate With Forest Service In New Subject Teachers throughout the country have been invited by the United States Forester to cooperate with the Forest Service in an effort to obtain more definite knowledge of the characteristics of the most important forest trees of the United States. To do this it will be necessary to obtain a large number of volunteer observers who will collect material on the time of leafing, blooming, and fruiting of the various kinds of forest trees. In his letter inviting the cooperation of teachers purpose and those interested in the conservation of irrigating water provide for the payment of all expense necessary to carry out the plan. It is further understood that already a voluntary contribution sufficient for experimental work has been secured and is available and at the meeting a committee was appointed to take charge of the work. Orange county was represented by three members of the Tri-Counties Reforestation Committee, Attorney E. E. Keech and M. Nisson of Santa Ana and William McLauchlin of Anaheim. Couldn't Fool Him. A member of the Nebraska legislature was making a speech on some momentous question, and, in conclusion, said: "In the words of Daniel Webster, who wrote the dictionary, 'Give me liberty or give me death!'" One of his colleagues pulled at his coat and whispered: "Daniel Webster did not write the dictionary, it was Noah." "Noah nothing," repeated the speaker, "Noah built the ark."

All Druggists THE STANDARD OF THE WORLD the Forest Service in an effort to obtain more definite knowledge of the characteristics of the most important forest trees of the United States. To do this it will be necessary to obtain a large number of volunteer observers who will collect material on the time of leafing, blossoming, and fruiting of the various kinds of forest trees. In his letter inviting the cooperation of teachers Forester Pinchot says: "Knowledge of this kind is greatly needed and will be of value from the standpoint both of education and practical forestry. For educational purposes the results obtained for each species, averaged and presented graphically by means of color charts, will be available to all who are interested in the subject, particularly to schools. They will form virtual "tree calendars," and will be valuable aids to nature study. Children can readily be interested in the actual work of obtaining records. This should form an attractive outdoor feature of the schoolwork that should serve to develop the culty of accurate observation, and the same time to promote an interest in forestry which may lead to better appreciation of its aims and methods. It may also prove to be profitable addition to botany courses for older students. "A study of this kind will be great value to practical forestry, since the proper treatment of forests pends partly upon a knowledge of these characteristics of trees.

Evangelist Jones will speak cept Saturday and Thursday the Popular Baritone from B not it is frost-hardy in a given region, and the length of time that a tree is in leaf influences the growth it is able to make during the season. Knowledge of the time when seeds of each species ripen in various localities is of great value to those who are collecting seed, since seed often deteriorates or is eaten by squirrels and birds if not gathered and stored as soon as ripe. "Another result of this study will be a more intimate knowledge of climate as manifested by plant growth, for differences in climate are shown by plant life as well as by instrument and a preliminary idea can thus be gained as to whether a given region is suited to a valuable tree which it is desired to introduce there.

Many such examples could be given, but sufficient has been said to show that the results of these observations will be a real help to practical forestry, in addition to their general interest and educational value. Volunteers will later be supplied with publications and charts containing the information they help to gather, as a return for the services rendered." On request, the Forest Service will be glad to send forms upon which to record data and a pamphlet containing full instructions as to the nature of the observations and how they are to be made. There seems to be much conflicting testimony regarding the ability with which Regis H. Post, Governor of Porto Rico, has administered his difficult office, but the impression prevailed that he has been wanting in some degree in that tact so essential to the successful administration of a country inhabited by people of Spanish descent. President Taft is not likely to remove Governor Post at the instance of any Porto Rican, but if the people of the island refrain from attacks on the Governor, there would seem to be good reason to believe that his tenure of office will be shortlived.
