PUNCHOT ASKS SQUARE DEAL CHIEF FORESTER STANDS FOR RIGHTS OF PEOPLE Comes to Southern California for fishing Trip—Delivers Notable Address—Will Go On to Beverly to Conference With President Taft on Subject Gifford Pinchot, chief forester of the United States bureau of forestry, is at San Clemente island with a party of friends fishing. Mr. Pinchot is well known in this section, where his great work in conservation and forestation is reckoned at its true worth. He goes east next week and will confer with Taft over the Ballinger incident, which the president desires to have settled before he begins his western trip. Mr. Pinchot addressed the City Club in Los Angeles on Saturday at the Westminster hotel at noon. He received an ovation. If he had any doubt about whether Los Angeles has confidence in him or approved his vigorous support of the Roosevelt policies, the reception the City Club gave him must have removed it. An anxiety to be sure of obtaining seats caused a big early attendance. The large dining room of the Westminster was crowded long before Mr. Pinchot arrived. When he entered the room those what they have. "That sounds like a reasonable program." Power Companies Active "This fight has been going on a good while. The men who are representing the power companies should come out in the open. "These interests have been sending representatives to the various conventions and congresses whose missions as agents of the interests have not been made public. "I don't object to the representative of any interest coming to any convention at any time as the representative of that interest, but I do object to their coming as the representative of one thing and really representing another. Such a man is my friend Frank Short of Fresno. I hope he will continue to come to future irrigation congresses, but frankly as the representative of the power interests. "Shall our descendants have a fair share of the resources which exist, or shall those resources be held for the benefit of the few? That question will have to be settled in the near future, and I have faith that it, like other great questions, will be settled right." People Should Control "We shall come to see that this conservation movement is not entirely concerned with the monopoly of resources. The men who control the natural resources of the country should be done turned into the If he had any doubt about whether Los Angeles has confidence in him or approved his vigorous support of the Roosevelt policies, the reception the City Club gave him must have removed it. An anxiety to be sure of obtaining seats caused a big early attendance. The large dining room of the Westminster was crowded long before Mr. Pinchot arrived. When he entered the room those who saw him first began to applaud. The applause swept across the room and increased in volume. Then the cheers began, as Mr. Pinchot walked along the seats toward his place at the center of the speaker's table. When he was half way across the room the members of the club rose as a man, cheering, applauding and pounding the tables, and remained standing and clapping until he had seated himself. Mr. Pinchot smiled and bowed repeatedly in response to the hearty greeting. Another enthusiastic demonstration greeted him when he rose to speak and at every possible opportunity during his address the audience interrupted him to applaud. Mr. Pinchot's address was on the subject, "The Conservation of Our National Resources." In introducing him, Frank Finlayson, vice-president of the club, said that he had been requested by one of the officials of the Los Angeles aqueduct to say that no other one man has done so much for the aqueduct as has Mr. Pinchot. This brought another volley of applause, in the midst of which Mr. Pinchot arose. He said: "If I have done anything to help carry out the boldest, wisest project ever attempted by an American city, the Los Angeles aqueduct, I am glad I had the opportunity. "I want to make another acknowledgment, and that is that nowhere in the United States has the forest service had the hearty co-operation that it has in Southern California. You're putting about as much money in here as the forest service itself. "I don't want to talk about forestry today. I want to talk about conservation." "The lines in this country are being pretty closely drawn between those who stand for good government and those who stand for special prizes." People Should Control "We shall come to see that this conservation movement is not entirely concerned with the monopoly of resources. The men who control the natural resources of the country should be controlled by the whole people. That is undoubtedly true; but there are other things. "The same point of view which made it appear that forests should be preserved also makes it clear that coal waste should be stopped, water power developed and lands irrigated—this same point of view goes straight on and applies to the great total of national efficiency. "The line is hard to draw; all these policies converge and progress along with the others. These are the Roosevelt policies. They are also the Taft policies. One thing President Taft is solemnly pledged to, with all his administration, and that is to carry out these Roosevelt policies; but what is more important is that they have been adopted into the minds of the American people. Tendencies of the Times "The old idea of politics is disappearing. The real live issues are now before the country. The welfare of the plain American citizen is the vital issue. "I believe most heartily in the future of this country and its greatness, that will undoubtedly overshadow every other nation. Suppose the present tendency should go on. We've seen great trusts building up. Suppose all the utilities fall into the same category as the railroads. Is it a pretty picture to suppose all these resources to fall into the hands of a little group of men to decide what parts of the country should be developed? I am an optimist and do not believe we shall ever reach that condition. Either we will or we will not. Unless our people take the action I think they will take, we shall reach it very soon. Natural tendencies once begun work themselves out, one way or another. Again I say I don't believe we'll come to that, but we will unless we do something." Roosevelt-Taft Policies "One word in conclusion. These Roosevelt-Taft policies, dear to the hearts of the American people, shall those resources be held for the benefit of the few? That question will have to be settled in the near future, and I have faith that it, like other great questions, will be settled right." edgment, and that is that nowhere in the United States has the forest service had the hearty co-operation that it has in Southern California. You're putting about as much money in here as the forest service itself. "I don't want to talk about forestry today. I want to talk about conservation." "The lines in this country are being pretty closely drawn between those who stand for good government and those who stand for special privileges. Wants Square Deal "The square deal is what we seek as a weapon in the controversy between the people and the money interests. "The great test in this matter has been no better expressed than the statement President Taft made about ex-President Roosevelt. He said: 'He understands the plain people about as well as Lincoln did.'" "This accounts largely for the popularity of the Roosevelt policy. I feel that the time has come for men to stand up and be counted, and I think also that the facts ought to be more widely known. I am not for muck raking, but I think it is only necessary for the people to have the facts and the remedy will be forthcoming. "There is a big fight coming up in the next congress and it will be on the question of water power rights. On account of the withdrawals for power rights lately it is bound to come up. The men who control water power in the end, unless the government controls them, will control industry. "Let them hold their rights from the people, report to the people from time to time and pay the people a just and reasonable compensation for believe we shall ever reach that condition. Either we will or we will not. Unless our people take the action I think they will take, we shall reach it very soon. Natural tendencies once begun work themselves out, one way or another. Again I say I don't believe we'll come to that, but we will unless we do something." Roosevelt-Taft Policies "One word in conclusion. These Roosevelt-Taft policies, dear to the hearts of the American people, contain the essence of the remedies we need. More and more men are coming to see this, and more and more are coming to believe them the greatest of all remedies for the present-day conditions. I know you believe in them, and I think you know I believe in them. As long as I have the strength to rise from my chair I propose to stand up and be counted for them when the time comes." AN EVELESS EDEN Ten young bachelors of Santa Ana have formed a club to be known as the Bohemian Club, for the purpose of establishing a home for themselves and, according to the articles of incorporation, "to insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, and to secure the blessings of individual liberty." Unmarried men only can belong to the club, and should a member desert bachelordom for matrimony he must sell his stock to the corporation. Under no circumstances shall woman be allowed to enter the clubrooms. The corporation is capitalized for $25,000, of which $1,-000 is subscribed by the ten charter members: H. G. Ames, J. C.

SEPTEMBER 9, 1909 VIEWING THE RESERVOIR WATER BOARD WILL INCREASE ITS EFFICIENCY Private Dam Constructed Near Reservoir to Turn Water from Land—Superintendent Reports It May Damage Company Pumping Plants Anaheim, Cal., Sept. 4, '09. A regular meeting of the Board of Directors was held on the above date with all members present, except L. P. Drake. The minutes of the preceding meeting were read and approved: The Superintendent reported Pumping Plant No. 1 lifting about 135 inches of water and No. 2 lifting its usual 450 inches. The report of the Finance Committee was received and filed and warrants were ordered drawn in payment of the various demands therein recommended. The reports of the Secretary, Treasurer and Superintendent were each in turn received and filed. On motion of Director Sherwood, seconded by Director Hale, it was decided that the Board should go as a committee of the whole to view the Yorba dam next Wednesday at 9 a.m., to determine what work should be done before the water is turned into the reservoir. PICNICKERS RESCUE BANKER Goes Over Creek Bank While In Act of Backing Auto A picnic party composed of N. Hart John Hahn, Dee Jackson and several other gentlemen drove to Modjeska's ranch on Sunday morning, and while enjoying the shade of the oak trees at noon acted as life-savers in one of the worst automobile accidents that has ever occurred in the canyon. James Turner, the well-known banker of Santa Ana, drove up in an auto, accompanied by his son-in-law, Thomas Inch, of Los Angeles, to the point where the party were encamped. After a short conversation he backed his auto in order to turn around. The machine went over a twelve-foot embankment to the bottom of a dry creek lined with big boulders. The machine turned over and over, landing upon its occupants at the bottom of the creek. The picnickers ran at once to their assistance. The auto, which was badly smashed, was with difficulty lifted from the men pinned underneath. Mr. Turner was assisted to the roadway, suffering severe bruises, but with no bones broken. Mr. Inch was at first thought to be more seriously hurt, as it was at first impossible to move him. He was assisted out of the creek, and lay under a tree. He recovered shortly and later in the afternoon was able to return home with Mr. Turner in an THE GOOD ROADS COMPAIGN COMMITTEE OF INFORMATION ISSUES STATEMENT Petitions Asking Appointment of the Road Commission—Who May Sign Them—Men in Various Precincts Whooping Her Up for Bonds The good roads propaganda is moving. Committees in a number of cities and towns have been appointed to whoop her up for bonds. We have been requested to publish the following circular of the committee, giving information regarding the method of procedure to get bonds. We do so with pleasure. Conveying information to our readers is our strong holt: Santa Ana, Sept. 4, 1909. To the Electors of Orange County: The undersigned have been appointed by the Associated Chambers of Commerce of Orange County as a committee to issue this letter of instruction regarding the proposed good roads bond election. The law provides that a petition must be presented to the Board of Supervisors asking that the matter of issuing bonds of the county for highway purposes be submitted to the electors of the county; that this petition must be signed by electors, who must also be freeholders, of the county, equal in number to at least of the various demands therein recommended. The reports of the Secretary, Treasurer and Superintendent were each in turn received and filed. On motion of Director Sherwood, seconded by Director Hale, it was decided that the Board should go as a committee of the whole to view the Yorba dam next Wednesday at 9 a.m., to determine what work should be done before the water is turned into the reservoir. The Superintendent reported that the recent purchaser of the small piece of land adjoining the Yorba reservoir has constructed a dam to turn the water from his land and that this dam is likely to prove injurious to the Water Company. A. A. Mills, representing the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce, appeared before the Board. He expressed the appreciation of the said body of the attitude as expressed by the Board at the preceding meeting but represented that even when Yorba reservoir was full and ditches running at full capacity during April and May, it was impossible to get water within ten days of application and that, therefore, the Yorba reservoir was inadequate. That the acreage of trees around Anaheim would probably be doubled in a year and that the demand for water would greatly increase. That the reason stock was sold here was that the A.U.W.Co. could not furnish the necessary water when needed. That if all the water were furnished that people would buy, the running expenses and debts of the Company would take care of themselves. Mr. Mills gave the board his views on pumping plants. Evidence was submitted in the case of an alleged interference with a gate. The evidence was carefully gone into and the board took further time in which to decide the matter. An application was received from Mr. Tousseau for the privilege of again renting the La Habra reservoir for from one to three years at $1200 per annum. A second bid of $1100 was also submitted. Neither bid was accepted. A communication from W. F.Hughes offered 25 cents per acre as rental for the 600 acres adjoining the Bixby ranch, provided we would furnish water for stock. The offer was not accepted. A communication from A. Goodwin calling attention to needed repairs assistance. The auto, which was badly smashed, was with difficulty lifted from the men pinned underneath. Mr. Turner was assisted to the roadway, suffering severe bruises, but with no bones broken. Mr. Inch was at first thought to be more seriously hurt, as it was at first impossible to move him. He was assisted out of the creek, and lay under a tree. He recovered shortly, and later in the afternoon was able to return home with Mr. Turner in another auto. The demolished auto was hauled to the opposite side of the creek and landed upon the embankment. The picnickers left here at 5 o'clock, had coffee at the county park, and continued on their way to Modjeska's ranch, where they partook of lunch. They were enjoying a siesta under the trees when Mr. Turner drove up. Had it not been for their presence both Turner and Inch would probably have expired at the bottom of the creek. A. A. MILLS ON GOOD ROADS Where They Should Be Located in This End of County Editor Gazette.-A word in reference to good roads. Would it not be well for the friends of good roads in the northern end of the county to get together and discuss the location of the proposed good roads in this section, rather than be always discussing what will be south of Santa Ana? I think so, and believe it is a very important thing to do, and would suggest that meetings be held with this end in view. As a starter for such a discussion the following is proposed: To connect Anaheim and Orange 4 1-2 miles, Anaheim and Olive 3 miles, Anaheim and Placentia 2 1-2, Placentia and Yorba 4 1-2, Fullerton and Olinda 7 miles, Fullerton through La Habra to the Los Angeles county line 4 1-2, Buena Park and Fullerton 1, Fullerton and Anaheim 1 1-2, Anaheim west to the county line 8 miles, Buena Park to connect with this road 2 1-2, county line south to Los Alamitos 2 1-2 miles, Anaheim to Garden Grove 4 mi. This will make 45 1-2 miles north of Orange and Garden Grove and save about 1 mile, all on this side of the Santa Ana river. Besides this we would be interested in a road from Yorba to the Riverside county line The law provides that a petition must be presented to the Board of Supervisors asking that the matter of issuing bonds of the county for highway purposes be submitted to the electors of the county; that this petition must be signed by electors who must also be freeholders, of the county, equal in number to at least ten per cent of the vote cast for governor in the county, at the last election. In other words, no one is qualified to sign the petition unless he be a qualified elector and holds title in his own name, to real estate situated in Orange county. A qualified elector is required to be a male citizen of the United States, who has resided in the State one year, in the county ninety days, and in the voting precinct thirty days; and is duly registered in the Great Register of the county. Care should be taken that the petitions are signed only by persons who have the required qualifications. When a proper petition is presented, the Supervisors are required to appoint a highway commission composed of three members, who must have been for two years bona fide residents and freeholders of the county, and who must be specially qualified to have charge of the improvement of highways. This commission must proceed, with all diligence, to investigate carefully the main public highways of the county and cause to be made a map showing said main public highways and their connections; must ascertain which of said public highways should be improved by the issuance of bonds, the kind of improvements to be made thereon and must estimate the cost of such improvements. The law defines a main public highway to be a highway connecting different cities and towns, in the same or different counties, or connecting any city or town in one county with the public highway system of another county. The Commission, also, may recommend the laying out of new public highways. A detailed report must be filed with the Supervisors by the Commission, and this report may be approved by the Supervisors or referred back to the Commission for further consideration. When the report is again renting the La Habra reservoir for from one to three years at $1200 per annum. A second bid of $1100 was also submitted. Neither bid was accepted. A communication from W. F. Hughes offered 25 cents per acre as rental for the 600 acres adjoining the Bixby ranch, provided we would furnish water for stock. The offer was not accepted. A communication from A. Goodwin calling attention to needed repairs on a ditch at his corner was referred to the Superintendent. A communication from H. C. Kellogg asked for data concerning the past history of the Company and which it would take some time to compile. On motion the Secretary was instructed to answer that the Board wishes further information concerning the circumstances before giving the said data. A communication from the Aetna Indemnity Co. asked a release from the bond on the new office building. On motion the President and Secretary were authorized to execute the said release as soon as the usual 35 days after completion of the work are expired. The matter of the zanjeros marking or designating on the reports the number of each run so as to better keep track of each irrigator's water was referred to the Superintendent. Applications on file for the transfer of stock were granted. On motion the Secretary was granted leave of absence for two weeks. On motion the meeting adjourned. P. H: Krick, Secretary. Championship Waltz Dance tomorrow evening, Friday, Sept. 10. A good time assured to all. CORPORATIONS DELINQUENT Three thousand corporations registered in the office of the Secretary of State have failed to pay their corporation tax, and the amount due the State is about $30,000 for fines alone. Many will not pay up, and will cease to exist, legally, at least. Last year 4400 corporations were in arrears when September 1st arrived. More than 2000 corporation licenses were paid last Tuesday and Wednesday. The Commission, also, may recommend the laying out of new public highways. A detailed report must be filed with the Supervisors by the Commission, and this report may be approved by the Supervisors or referred back to the Commission for further consideration. When the report is finally approved and adopted by the Supervisors, they must call an election to determine whether bonds of the county shall be issued in the amount recommended by the commission for the purpose stated in their report. Thus, all of the facts as to what roads are to be improved, the nature and cost of the proposed improvement, and the men who are to have charge of the work will be fully known before the election is held. A two-thirds vote in favor of the bonds is necessary to carry them. If the bonds carry, the doing of the work for which they are issued will be under the supervision and direction of the highway commission. The law requires that improvements constructed shall be of a durable and lasting character, and not flimsy or temporary; that the macadamized or paved portion of the roadbed constructed on any highway shall not exceed sixteen feet in width, unless donations are made to defray the expense of making it wider; and that none of the proceeds of the bonds shall be used upon any highway within the corporate limits of any city. We desire that every step taken in this movement shall be open and above board; that, at all times, elec- ROADS COMPAIGN OF INFORMATION ISSUE STATEMENT Appointment of the Mission—Who May Sign in Various Precincts Under Up for Bonds Propaganda is moved in a number of citations have been appointed up for bonds.

RAISING THE BONUS Placentia Property Owners Meet to Provide Right of Way A meeting of Placentia property owners was held at the schoolhouse a few evenings ago to raise funds for purchasing right of way for the Santa Fe cut-off between Fullerton and Central building, a two-story structure, has six exits, all the doors thereto swinging outward, including two double fire escapes from second floor, one at each end of the building. These fire escapes have been criticised by a few for being too steep; this however we find is not the case, as proven by the frequent fire drills held at the schools: the entire building being emptied of all occupants in 50 seconds and in good order. It is a known fact that fire escapes are perpendicular and extend... RAISING THE BONUS Placentia Property Owners Meet to Provide Right of Way A meeting of Placentia property owners was held at the schoolhouse a few evenings ago to raise funds for purchasing right of way for the Santa Fe cut-off between Fullerton and Richfield. H. H. Hale and A. S.Bradford, who have been in charge of the matter of raising funds, were present and stated it was necessary to raise from $15,000 to $17,000. About $3000 had been pledged before the meeting. An assessment of $5 per acre was decided upon on all lands lying in the Placentia district, which it is expected will raise the necessary amount. A number of large owners have not yet subscribed, but it was said this week the amount required will be raised in a short time. Messrs. Hale and Bradford will make a house-to-house canvass, and will put the question squarely up to all property owners, big and little, whether they want the railroad or not. KNOWLEDGE OF INSECT PESTS A Prerequisite Holding Job as Commissioner The date for the examinations of applicants for the position of horticultural commissioner for this county will be held at the city hall in Santa Ana on October 9th. The date hitherto announced was October 8th, but the state commissioners have given notice that the examinations will be held on October 9th, commencing at 10 o'clock in the morning. Applicants must be residents of the county and fruit growers. They cannot be in the nursery business. As a result of that provision E. W. Camfield of Orange, one of the applicants, has sold his nursery. The percentage necessary for success in the examinations is eighty. A member of the state board must be present during the examinations, and each applicant must depend entirely upon himself. There will be 100 questions asked each applicant. The report of the five successful applicants must be made to the Board of Supervisors within twenty days, and from the ture, has six exits, all the doors thereto swinging outward, including two double fire escapes from second floor, one at each end of the building. These fire escapes have been criticised by a few for being too steep; this however we find is not the case, as proven by the frequent fire drills held at the schools: the entire building being emptied of all occupants in 50 seconds and in good order. It is a known fact that fire escapes are perpendicular and extend only to the second floor of buildings, while the ones at our school extend from the second floor to the ground and slant so they may be safely used, also there is a handrail extending to the bottom. The individual each have four doors, two at end. These doors open inward thus obviate the danger of bleed from the hall-ways in case of a panic addition to this there are on each floor in the halls, two fire hydrants with ample hose which can be put to use on short notice. While, as we noticed at the time of our local papers, the Grand Jury saw fit to criticise part of its arrangement, the one of the year previous commended it. At the present time the trustees also have in contemplation the installation of an efficient electric fire-alarm system, whereby each room is immediately informed in which part of the building a fire may exist and thus take the safest means of agress. Now a suggestion to the directors of the "Chamber of Commerce." The school board, (however insignificant it may seem), is always at work for the welfare of our schools, and concerned for the safety of our children. It is not necessary to go to other bodies to have school business attended to, nor is it necessary to ignore them. Put away the hammer and get out the saw. If we changed our system every time some one saw a great (?) light, it would take all the tax-payer's money to do it regardless of teachers salaries and necessary improvements. Nothing will please us more than for parents to visit and thus show the interest they take in our schools which we feel are second to none in this county. Sincerely, J. H. Clabaugh, Wm. H.

The report of the five successful applicants must be made to the Board of Supervisors within twenty days, and from the five the appointment must be made. Should less than five pass the examinations the Supervisors must name fruit growers to make up the five. “There is no chance in these examinations but for the straight goods,” writes one of the commissioners. The examinations are to be on the following subjects: 1. Practical knowledge of insect pests and diseases in the county. 2. Best methods of controlling insect pests and diseases. 3. Orchard practice and general horticultural conditions in the county. 4. Technical knowledge of life history and habits of destructive and beneficial insects. 5. Quarantine work in county and state. 6. Administration of the state and county horticultural commission and knowledge of horticultural laws of the county and state. Among those reported as likely to take the examinations are E. W. Camfield, J. W. Morrison and R. K. Bishop of Orange, A. J. McFadden of Myford, and J. J. Schneider of Anaheim. Anyone desiring to be an inspector under the new law, as a deputy of the commissioner, must pass the examinations. ORANGE GROWERS Affiliate With the Semi-Tropic Fruit Exchange of Los Angeles Members of the reorganized Anaheim Fruit Association met at the water office on Tuesday afternoon and listened to a discussion of marketing problems by J. A. Reed of the Semi-Tropic Fruit Exchange of Los Angeles. The association decided to cast its lot with the Semi-Tropic Exchange and will be hereafter affiliated with that organization. Ten carloads of first-class Valencia oranges, which remain upon the trees, will be shipped out by the association beginning on Monday next. This fruit is the last of this season's crop, and favorable prices are anticipated. C. E. Holcomb will be manager of the packing house, and shipments will be made from the cannery building near the Santa Fe depot. Growers representing one hundred cars of fruit have signed up for new association, and it is said that next year ship 150 cars. MISS ALICE NORTON Teacher of Plano, Oberlin Conservatory Method.
