HOW TO KEEP COOL Little Suggestions About Housework During the Torrid Days Mothers who have several small children to care for during this hot weather may greatly reduce their discomfort if they will use a little good HOW TO KEEP COOL Little Suggestions About Housework During the Torrid Days Mothers who have several small children to care for during this hot weather may greatly reduce their discomfort if they will use a little good judgment in planning their daily labors. First, let all the air that is possible enter your house. Many persons think that their houses are made cooler by opening the windows early and after an hour closing them until nightfall. I have tried this plan times without number and always found that at the end of an hour the house became stuffy and almost unbearably close and hot. Now my windows are never closed except in time of storm, and by means of a certain amount of protection from the sun by means of an outside shade made of awning-cloth or denim the house is always comfortable. So far as the work of the house is concerned there is a great deal that may be lightened if a little judgment is used. For example, in making up the beds, leave all unnecessary coverings off. Two sheets are all that are necessary and further protection may be provided for by placing a light cover at the foot of the beds upon retiring. Next, place all unnecessary ornaments in some unused room or closet and you will enjoy their beauty all the more when you take them out in the fall. If possible, cover all furniture with slips that may be as inexpensive as desired and can easily be made at home. By making up a piece or two each year and by matching the material which may be done in all staple goods, you will not only save a great deal of wear and tear on your furniture but will add greatly to the comfort of the house, as the covers, especially if made of linen, surely reduce the temperature several degrees. Strips of denim sewed together will make a good and lasting cover for the carpet if it is not convenient to take up the carpet each season. Here again the linen that comes for this purpose is better, but if the cost is to be considered the denim will be much cheaper and will do almost as well. In making up the children's clothing, mothers may greatly reduce the total cost of T., John Calkins; S. G. of T., J. G. Stock; I. S., F. C. Mauerhan; O. S., A. E. Schumacher.

The ranchers are relieved to hear that three of the bling pig operators are in jail. They are Romolo Gonzales, Epitacio Valenzuela and Alez Foltz, who were arraigned before the justice of the peace at Santa Ana. Dist.-Atty. Davis, Deputy Finley and four officers raided the homes of Gonzales and Valenzuela. At each place they found several dozen bottles of beer and whisky. Gonzales kept his reserve stock hidden in a tiny attic. Valenzuela had a trapdoor in the bottom of a manger in the barn. The officers found five sacks of bottled beer. ORANGE With a crash sounding like an explosion, a 50,000 gallon tank of the Orange city water works burst some days ago., and the tank and water were dashed to the ground. The bands of steel about the tank seemed to give way to the tremendous pressure. A small frame building used as an office was crushed. Had there been any one in the building, he would have been killed. The tower and engine room were not damaged. For Sale: Ten shares of Anaheim Union Water Co. stock. Enquire of Newton B. Pierce, Santa Ana, Calif. 7-16-8t SCOTT DOES WORK WELL Assessment Roll Shows Notable Increase in Property Valuations Showing a total of $27,784,880 the books of County Assessor W. M. Scott have been turned over to the supervisors sitting as a board of equalization. The footings show a commendable readjustment following the raise made by the state board of equalization last year. The state board made a general raise of fifty percent in this county, which took in all classes of property. Assessor Scott has maintained the standard set for real property, but has readjusted the assessments on improvements and the personal property. Such changes as were necessary in the real estate to further equity and the changes of a year were made. The totals show a gain in everything except improvements on real estate. The following figures show the totals for this year as compared with last year. The figures for last year are given as they stood after the change made by the state board. Assessment on real estate for 1910 is $17,776,700. For 1909, it was $17,587,852. Assessment on improvements on real estate for 1910 is $5,343,715. For 1909 it was $7,111,650. Assessment for personal property for 1910 is $4,490,630. For 1909 it was $4,430,603. Assessment for money and solvent credits for 1910 is $173,735. For 1909 it was $89,050. The total assessment for 1910 is $27,784,880. For 1909 it was $29,219,155. These figures are exclusive of the railroad assessment, which is made by the state, and which has not STATE SCHOOL MONEY Superintendent Hyatt Makes Apportionment of Funds State Superintendent of Public Instruction Hyatt has made public his second semi-annual apportionment of the state school funds. The elementary schools will receive the sum of $1,546,004. The apportionment of the high schools amounts to $129,848. In the apportionment for the elementary schools, Los Angeles county receives the largest amount. The average daily attendance at these schools in that county was 48,670,and there is credit to the county of $307,-594. San Francisco is second with an average daily attendance of 32,-858, with Alameda third, the daily attendance being 25,497. Following is the apportionment for the southern counties: Imperial 1,001 $ 6,315 Inyo 510 3,412 Kern 2,824 17,847 Kings 2,221 14,036 Los Angeles 48,670 307,594 Orange 4,195 28,408 Riverside 3,889 24,578 San Bernardino 5,959 37,680 San Diego 32,858 207,667 Santa Barbara 2,886 18,239 Ventura 2,141 13,531 Likewise for the secondary, or high schools, the largest sum goes to Los Angeles,$28,896.

A study of the petroleum industry of the United States shows that the California oil fields are practically in their infancy, with production increasing by leaps and bounds, while the proved oil bearing area is being augmented daily. The oil fields of other sections of the country have reached the maximum production adi-are on the decline, leaving California in a class by itself as a producer of the inflammable fluid. The total proved petroleum territory of California, according to the United States Geological Survey, is 850 square miles, or a total of slightly more than 500,000 acres. This area would accommodate something like 120,000 wells, allowing one well to each 2 l-2 acres. Large as this territory may seem, it is less than half the area proved to be productive in Pennsylvania;that state having nearly 2000 square miles of oil lands. But the thickness of the oil bearing stratum in California far exceeds that of other fields in the United States;there being,by actual measurement,the over 500 feet of oil sands in several different sections of this state;whereas in many localities in the eastern fields the oil bearing stratum is only a few feet thick. On account of these dense sands California will be producing oil when eastern fields are only a WIFE IN NAME ONLY Mrs. Town Asks Divorce and Gets a Puzzle Mrs. Mary E. Town, or Mrs. Mary E. Cody, as her name probably is, has just about concluded that she never was married to August W. Town, from whom she recently sought divorce and which case is still pending in the superior court. There is no record of a marriage license having been issued in Yuba county, in which county she says she always thought she had been married. She says she is certain that at Marysville some kind of a ceremony was performed, and that Town said they were married. Town and the woman who says she has believed herself to be his wife have settled their property differences. This is shown by the two deeds and a mortgage that were recorded at the office of the county recorder this week. A. W. and Mary E. Town deeded to S. S. Finley, attorney for the woman, the twenty acres at Cypress upon which the couple has lived for several years. Finley then deeded the property to Mary E. Cody, which was the name of the woman at the time she says she believed she was married to Town. The fact that the property is given to her in her former name may be taken as the result of the conclusion of the woman and her attorney that there was no legal marriage at Marysville of Town and Mrs. Cody. Mrs. Cody gave a mortgage on the property on a $4000 loan from the estate of Luther Kellogg. To all the papers Mrs. Cody signed with her mark. Those who have investigated the assessment for personal property for 1910 is $4,490,630. For 1909 it was $4,430,603. Assessment for money and solvent credits for 1910 is $173,735. For 1909 it was $89,050. The total assessment for 1910 is $27,784,880. For 1909 it was $29,219,155. These figures are exclusive of the railroad assessment, which is made by the state, and which has not been made this year. Last year's railroad assessment for this county was $2,717,482, the total for everything last year being $31,936,637. The assessment reports show excellent growth in all parts of the county. AMENDMENTS DEFEATED Santa Ana Irrigators Refuse to Increase Capital Stock Falling short of the necessary vote all three proposals submitted to the stockholders of the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation Co., at the election held last week were defeated. Many of the stockholders believe that the defeat of the proposals means the dropping for the present of attempts to make the amendments. The stockholders defeated a raise of capital stock from $100,000 to $500,000 a number of times. It was then thought that a raise to $250,000 would carry, but that, too, was defeated. It fell short about 3000 votes. The by-laws require a two-thirds vote of the subscribed stock to carry any amendment. The vote needed to carry was 11,465.16. The proposed amendments to the by-laws and articles of incorporation were numerous, and had to do with numerous minor changes. The result of the election as announced by the canvassing board, composed of Cood Adams, J. W. Crawford, W. F. Greenleaf, W. S. Gregg and D. F. Campbell, is as follows: Capital stock, voting yes, 8355.21. Capital stock, voting no, 1879.86; by-laws, voting yes, 9257.75; by-laws,voting no, 963.93; articles of incorporation state having nearly 2000 square miles of oil lands. But the thickness of the oil bearing stratum in California far exceeds that of other fields in the United States, there being, by actual measurement, over 500 feet of oil sands in several different sections of this state, whereas in many localities in the eastern fields the oil bearing stratum is only a few feet thick. On account of these dense sands California will be producing oil when eastern fields are only a memory. The Pennsylvania oil fields, which are the oldest in the United States, reached the maximum productiveness many years ago and have steadily declined, until now they are yielding about one third of the amount produced at the height of their development. Geologists estimate that only about two billion barrels remain in the ground in that state, while in the proved fields of California, government geologists estimate the supply in the ground at eight and one half billion barrels without taking into account new fields that undoubtedly will be discovered in this state. The Ohio-Indiana fields, which rank next in importance to Pennsylvania, have an area of 2040 square miles and the supply in the ground is placed at three billion barrels. In Texas and Louisiana the fields have an area of not more than 360 square miles, only a small proportion of which now are to be considered highly productive. Taking these facts into consideration, it will be readily seen that California will, a comparatively few years hence, be depended upon to supply the United States with illuminating, lubricating and fuel oils. Is the flow of the great Lakeview geyser of central California controlled by the tides of the Pacific? That is a question that is puzzling engineers and scientists since it was noticed recently that the volume of oil discharged by this world famous sputter varied at different times of the day. Engineers believe they have found a solution to the phenomenon in the fact that the fluctuations in the flow of the great gusher are co-inCIDent with the ebb and flow of the tides of the Pacific ocean—that the inky fluid spouts in greater volume at high tide and diminishes considerably at low tide. If this theory is correct, it strengthens the contention of many scientists that the vast deposits of petroleum underlying California were once Evils of Cold Storage Uncle Sam Will Take a Hand in Regulating the Business A special from Washington says: Efficient regulation of the cold storage business is to be urged during the next session of congress. The first step will be a bill prescribing that no food product shall be kept in cold storage warehouse in any territory for more than six months. Such a measure will serve as a model for the states. The federal authorities are searching also for some constitutional method which will enable federal supervision of the storage business, regarding such action as is necessary to the public health. The legislation will be supplementary to the pure food law. It is possible for the agricultural department under the provisions of this law to condemn any food in cold storage which is perilous to health. But Dr. Wiley, chief chemist, says the authority of the government is not sufficient to protect people from the cold storage evils. The proposed amendments to the by-laws and articles of incorporation were numerous, and had to do with numerous minor changes. The result of the election as announced by the canvassing board, composed of Cood Adams, J. W. Crawford, W. F. Greenleaf, W. S. Gregg and D. F. Campbell, is as follows: Capital stock, voting yes, 8355.21. Capital stock, voting no, 1879.86; by-laws, voting yes, 9257.75; by-laws,voting no, 962.93; articles of incorporation, voting yes, 8545.84; articles of incorporation, voting no, 1677.88. COUNTY CLERK EARNS SALARY Primary Election Keeps Him on the Jump, and Then Some As the date of the primary election draws near and the actual putting into practice of the provisions is begun, its intricacies become more apparent. It is certainly a long, drawn-out and complicated law and will need much smoothing out and simplification before it can be handled perfunctorily. The work of handling the election falls almost wholly upon the county clerk, and the county is fortunate in having in that office such a careful and competent man as W. B. Williams, who is a good lawyer as well as a good clerk. The slightest inaccuracy or irregularity might invalidate the whole election. And work?—well, there's no end to it, seemingly; but Mr. Williams and his assistants keep pegging away, and by putting in nights and Sundays they expect to keep ahead of the hounds.—Santa Ana Register.

Engineers believe they have found a solution to the phenomenon in the fact that the fluctuations in the flow of the great gusher are co-incident with the ebb and flow of the tides of the Pacific ocean—that the inky fluid spouts in greater volume at high tide and diminishes considerably at low tide. If this theory is correct, it strengthens the contention of many scientists that the vast deposits of petroleum underlying California were once great inland seas, and that there still is connection between the Pacific ocean and these subterranean seas of combustible fluid. The Lakeview gusher is 1600 feet below the mean level of the Santa Barbara channel and 60 miles distant. Despite this distance, engineers have discovered that the flow of the gusher is directly affected by the tides. The torrent of oil increases with high tide and decreases with low tide, but just what the ration of increase and decrease is has not been determined, although the difference is manifest. According to geologists, the wash of the sea has had much to do with the deposit of petroleum in the so-called oil sands, it being found in zones as if cast up by the tides. As proof of this contention, shell fish, star fish, mammoth oyster shells and sharks' teeth have been found in the oil sands of many fields in this state. What will happen if the Lakeview continues to emit its tremendous torrent of liquid fuel until the supply is exhausted is a question that has caused alarm among timid folks residing in the region of the spouter, who fear that the waters of the Pacific ocean may break forth and flood the whole San Joaquin valley oil fields.
