VIGOROUS CAMPAIGN FOR CONSERVATION MEMBERSHIP FEE IS TWO DOLLARS—BOTH MEN AND WOMEN The Help of Every Patriotic Citizen at this Critical Time is Asked for by Gifford Pinchot, President of the National Conservation Association — Members in Every State Washington, April 30.—Plans are under way to carry the conservation campaign into every state. With Gifford Pinchot as its president, the national conservation association, which has its headquarters in the Colorado building here, has begun a vigorous campaign to extend its membership into every part of the country. The association already has members in every state and territory, but the campaign just started is intended to bring the enrollment up to 100,000 members. Mr. Pinchot feels that it is a critical time for the conservation movement and he has asked for the help of every patriotic citizen. His appeal, sent throughout the country, is bringing notable results, and those in charge here declare that the association will soon be a great force in national public affairs. The national conservation association is made up of an individual membership—men and women—who believe in the principles the conservation movement represents. The membership fee is two dollars. The principles on which the association is founded are those declared by the governors at their now historic conference with President Roosevelt at sures to prevent the control of the great sources of heat and mechanical power in the United States from being seized by monopolistic organizations, and to secure the best development of these sources in the interest of the whole people." When Gifford Pinchot was dismissed as United States forester by President Taft, Dr. Eliot immediately called his executive committee together, presented his resignation, and nominated Mr. Pinchot as his successor, saying Mr. Pinchot was the recognized head of the conservation movement, and that as, by President Taft's action he had been relieved of his official connection with the government, it was eminently fitting he should take the actual leadership of the national conservation association. The committee elected Mr. Pinchot president, and conferred on Dr. Eliot the honorary presidency, which he still retains. WOMAN'S PARLIAMENT Officers Elected and Resolutions Adopted at Annual Meeting The Woman's Parliament closed an interesting session at Santa Ana on Thursday by electing the following officers to serve the ensuing year: Honorary President, Mrs. D.

"O, a mile or so on walking and you The national conservation association is made up of an individual membership—men and women—who believe in the principles the conservation movement represents. The membership fee is two dollars. The principles on which the association is founded are those declared by the governors at their now historic conference with President Roosevelt at the White House in 1908. The declaration adopted by the governors at that meeting was very general in character, but it laid down principles which could not possibly be misunderstood. These principles have been taken by the national conservation association and have been made concrete, specific and practical. The association is already doing practical work. Hon. James R. Garfield, former secretary of the interior, one of the leading members, has appeared before the senate committee on public lands, favoring a bill to authorize the president of the United States to withdraw lands chiefly valuable for coal, water power, mineral phosphate, etc., so that such lands may be disposed of in the interest of all the people, instead of in the interest of a few; and the committee has made a favorable report carrying out the suggestions of the association, as outlined by Mr. Garfield. Mr. Pinchot, as president of the association, has sent out a bulletin to all the members calling on them to write their congressmen, urging the immediate passage of this bill. At the beginning the conservation movement was criticised by its enemies for being too theoretical and academic.As the movement advanced the principles which the governors declared received wider and wider endorsement, until they had, with the exception of the open enemies of conservation, practically the unanimous endorsement of the country. But those who were active in the conservation movement felt that too general approval without specific, practical application to those principles, was even dangerous to success, and that what was needed to insure the practical application of conservation principles was a national conservation association. The national conservation commission, which, on the recommendation of the governors, President Roosevelt had created, was killed by the amendment which Representative Tawney of Minnesota succeeded in adding to ta Ana.

Co.a The national conservation commission, which on the recommendation of the governors, President Roosevelt had created, was killed by the amendment which Representative Tawney of Minnesota succeeded in adding to the Sundry Civil bill of 1909. The work the commission had been carrying on was taken up independently by the joint committee on conservation, an unofficial body supported by private funds, and carried on with success. The joint committee accomplished notable results acting as a clearing house for these commissions and committees. But friends of conservation felt that there should be some national organization through which the individual citizen could join in the movement. So last July, men who had taken the lead in the conservation movement in the different parts of the country, met with Dr. Charles W. Elliot, of Harvard university, and organized the national conservation association. Dr. Elliot was made president. Under his leadership the association at once met with a hearty response. Its first bulletin called the attention of its members and the public to the situation with regard to the coal lands of Alaska, which have since achieved such prominence through the Ballinger-Pinchot controversy. In that bulletin, which was issued back in November, Dr. Elliot, speaking for the association, said, "The national conservation association is convinced of the urgent need of immediate mea- ORANGE COUNTY EMPLOYMENT AGENCY Help of all kinds furnished free of charge.

ENGINE TOPPLED OVER Overworked Towerman Gave Wrong Switch, Cars in Disorder in Ditch The sight of an overturned engine and a string of freight cars in the ditch at Cudahy on Friday morning enlightened several carloads of passengers on the early morning Espee train to Los Angeles who had become impatient at a two hours' delay at Downey, five miles this side the accident. Arriving at the scene of the wreck, passengers walked a mile to a relief train which had been sent out from town. A gang of several hundred workmen were engaged upon repairing the track. A work train with several engines stood beside the fallen locomotive, seeming with human intelligence to have come to its side to help it up. It lay dead in the ditch, a picture of helplessness. A hundred yards or more of splintered ties, showed where the engine had left its imprint when thrown from the track. The towerman sized up the wreck as he thought he might as well look for another job. At midnight the engineer whistled for signals at the crossing of the Southern Pacific and Salt Lake tracks. The overworked towerman was sleeping after his long hours of labor. He mistook the whistle for a Salt Lake train, due at the moment. He opened the track for it. A long line of cars in the ditch and a screaming engine splintering ties along the track was the result. The engineer and fireman jumped, and escaped injury. "How far is it to Los Angeles?" asked one of the passengers, who had a grouch, but tried to make the best of it. "O, a mile or so ahead; just keep on walking and you'll get there," the speechaker Stanton A Home-Builder BUSINESS ASSOCIATES HAVE WORDS OF PRAISE FOR HIM Came to Southern California 29 years Ago When a Lad, Entered the Realty Business and Amassed a Fortune—Bought Land and Planted Walnuts and Oranges—Stands for a Square Deal in Taxes—Notable Achievements While a Legislator The following article which appeared in the Home Builders' Monthly of Los Angeles, shows the estimates placed on Speaker Phil A. Stanton, candidate for the republican nomination for governor of California, by his business associates in his home city. It means a great deal for a man to have the respect and high regard of those who know him best, because it is the men one associates with in the everyday walks of life who can form the clearest and soundest opinion of him, and this testimonial to the worth of Mr. Stanton, coming as it does from men who have had close dealings with him, attests as nothing else could do to his worth and business standing: Occupying a prominent place in the public eye just now is another of Los Angeles’ sons—Phil Stanton, as he is familiarly called, who is seeking the republican nomination for the office of governor for the state of California. Mr. Stanton is a Home Builders’ stockholder and is a staunch friend and believer in the safe, conservative policy of this institution. He has placed this seal of approval upon our came to Los Angeles 24 years ago. Southern California’s climate brought him health and the same business acumen which induced him to become a Home Builders stockholder and which has characterized his many investments has brought him wealth. Of none of the many enterprises, however, which stand as a monument to his acumen and energy is he more proud and to none does he give more hearty indorsement than to Home Builders, which owes very much to his counsel, to his interest and assistance. Politics or no politics, we are sure that every Home Builders stockholder is proud of the fact that many such sterling men as Philip A. Stanton are to be numbered amongst its membership, in fact, of such stamp is the success of this progressive institution. Here is wishing well the subject of this sketch—Philip A. Stanton, Home Builder, in his laudable ambition to be governor of the great state of California, and congratulations to the people should they choose this fearless son.

The engineer and fireman jumped, and escaped injury. "How far is it to Los Angeles?" asked one of the passengers, who had a grouch, but tried to make the best of it. "O, a mile or so ahead; just keep on walking and you'll get there," the boss of the gang replied. A normal school girl telegraphed from the station that she was held up by a wreck and didn't know when she should be able to arrive. When the passengers returned in the evening the toppled-over locomotive had disappeared. Where it lay was a pile of splintered ties. The work train and the extra locomotives were gone. Only a few men remained shoveling about the newly constructed track. Dad Thomas ran his train slowly over the newtrack, but once over it he opened the throttle and his engine went squealing down the track to beat the band. AFTER THE GAGE CANAL Valley Irrigators Seek to Set Limit Upon its Water Supply A settlement between the Gage Canal Co., a defendant, and the plaintiff corporations, the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation Co. and the Anaheim Union Water Co., is not yet in sight. On Tuesday and Wednesday of last week the directors of the two irrigation companies went over the Gage canal system and on Thursday a joint meeting of the water boards was held in the water office here to discuss the situation as regards the Gage Canal company. The investigations made earlier in the week seemed to convince the water boards that the Gage Canal Co. is claiming more water than it should have. The canal company wants to get an agreement to be entered as a part of the judgment in the water suit to the effect that it may take and use 2250 inches of water from the Santa Ana river. The two Orange county companies have not conceded that the Gage Canal Co. can fairly claim more than 300 inches less than that amount. The result of Thursday's meeting here was the appointment of a committee consisting of Directors Sherwood and Hale from the A.U.W. Co. and Directors Drake and Dlerker of the S.A.V.I. Co. and Engineer Kel-ness standing: Occupying a prominent place in the public eye just now is another of Los Angeles' sons—Phil Stanton, as he is familiarly called, who is seeking the republican nomination for the office of governor for the state of California. Mr. Stanton is a Home Builders' stockholder and is a staunch friend and believer in the safe, conservative policy of this institution. He has placed this seal of approval upon our plan after his characteristic manner of thorough investigation, and, this long acquaintance with the personnel of Home Builders management, so it is a very great pleasure for Home Builders Monthly to present this picture of him and to recount some of the successes of this shrewd business man and legislator. Mr. Stanton is indeed one of the brilliant examples of Southern California's successful growth — whether that be in commercial supremacy or political prominence. That Southern California is a great and dominant factor in the life of the state cannot be gainsaid. This section is the home of big things accomplished, that is the reason why people come here from the four quarters of the globe to imbibe our spirit of "doing things." It is to that side of Mr. Stanton's career as a citizen of this southland, we would call the attention of the readers of Home Builders Monthly — his identification with its upbuilding, and his unfaltering confidence in its future. Mr. Stanton came to Los Angeles twenty-four years ago, when but 18 years of age, then he was frail of body, but stout of heart, clear and alert of mind with a will and determination to be somebody—he has "arrived," as the saying goes. The idea of making money out of the land of Southern California took a deep hold upon young Stanton soon after his arrival. He started in to acquire land while it was yet cheap and there was plenty of it on the market, and, as an old associate of his remarked to the writer, "He took to the real estate business like a duck to water," and he stayed with it through thick and thin. He has been a bona fide farmer, having purchased large land holdings in Orange county, still retaining that land which he himself planted to walnuts, olives and oranges and which has become of course valuable. He has also been closely identified with this section's development as a city builder, Huntington Beach and part of the judgment in the water suit to the effect that it may take and use 2250 inches of water from the Santa Ana river. The two Orange county companies have not conceded that the Gage Canal Co. can fairly claim more than 300 inches less than that amount. The result of Thursday's meeting here was the appointment of a committee consisting of Directors Sherwood and Hale from the A.U.W. Co. and Directors Drake and Dlerker of the S.A.V.I. Co. and Engineer Kellogg to go over all the details of the situation again and make a recommendation as to what action the water companies of this county will take in the matter. At the annual meeting of the Santa Ana River Development Co., which corporation holds the water rights of the two local irrigation companies, the same directors were reelected, and the directors left the officers as they have been for the past year. S. W. Wall and wife of Ontario were in town on Saturday afternoon for a brief visit. Mr. Wall was until recently editor of the Ontario Record, one of the best weekly papers in the state.

He has been a bona fide farmer, having purchased large land holdings in Orange county, still retaining that land which he himself planted to walnuts, olives and oranges and which has become of course valuable. He has also been closely identified with this section's development as a city builder, Huntington Beach and Bay City being monuments to his indomitable pluck. Los Angeles and other California towns and cities have likewise known and felt his activities. In all this broad effort Mr. Stanton has gone steadily forward to success, and his prosperity has been that of his adopted country, loyalty and energy have always marked his championship of every cause. His natural endowments as a leader of men might be recounted in his many brilliant legislative encounters, over San Pedro annexation; assisting with the anti-racetrack gambling law and carrying out of Roosevelt's requests against anti-Japanese legislation, for instance, both as a member and as speaker of the state assembly, but that is to talk politics, and Home Builders is not in politics, although like every other business institution in Southern California, Home Builders as a heavy taxpayer is directly interested from a strictly business standpoint in having a governor from the south who will assist in obtaining a more equitable division of state taxes, over the entire state, and, in preventing such outrages of tax inequalities as has been perpetrated upon this section during the past year.
