PETROLITHIC PAVING IS RECOMMENDED TRUSTEES WILL PROBABLY ADOPT THE NEW SYSTEM Judge Howard Reports Strenuous Life In His Court During Month—21 Cases Tried—Street Sweeper Selected by Board—Sign Posts to Be Erected on Street Corners — Four Building Permits Granted—Reports of City Officials Filed Street Superintendent Simpson reported to the Board of Trustees on Thursday evening that he had been investigating various street sweeping apparatus and recommended the purchase of a small machine offered by a Chicago firm, the cost of which will be something less than $500. A few days previously he had investigated the workings of a costly machine at Santa Ana and found it wanting as it failed to take up the sand and heavy dust. The cheaper machine will probably be purchased if the company gives a satisfactory guarantee and the cost of repairs and supplies is not too great. Mr. Simpson also strongly recommended the new petrolithic paving process as a substitute for the oiling system. This process, or patent, is owned by a corporation which neither sells machines or privileges but performs the work itself at a cost of six and six-tenths cents per foot. The petrolithic process is vastly superior to, and much more economical than the oiling system, which costs between three and four cents per foot, as it is more durable, and makes a surface equal to an asphalt For water ... $87.75 For license 1.25 For light 67.85 Total ... $156.85 WHITER THAN THE SNOW Santa Ana Official Exonerated, But Fight May Continue C. M. Ward, Santa Ana's street superintendent, who has been under fire because of alleged attempts to use his office to his personal advantage, has satisfied the board of trustees of that city that he is innocent. The trustees reported that their investigation had convinced them that a case had not been proven against the street superintendent and he was, accordingly, exonerated. Ward was accused by officials of the Petrolithic paving company of Los Angeles of opposing petrolithic paving because the company refused to organize a subsidiary company in which he was to be a member, and for which he was said to have promised that he would assure plenty of work. Three affidavits were produced from the officials of the company stating that Ward had made such a proposition. W. A. Gillette, manager of the company; H. R. Postle, engineer, and K. F. Postle, salesman all swore that Ward had been concerned in such a proposal. Ward denied the accusation in an affidavit. Affidavits concerning other reports that Ward had been grafting were introduced tending to show that he was innocent. After the evidence had been read a motion to exonerate him of the charges was passed. It is intimated by those carrying on the fight against him that the charges against Ward as made will not be dropped on account of the action of the board.

This process, or patent, is owned by a corporation which neither sells machines or privileges but performs the work itself at a cost of six and six-tenths cents per foot. The petrolithic process is vastly superior to, and much more economical than the oiling system, which costs between three and four cents per foot, as it is more durable, and makes a surface equal to an asphalt pavement. Mr. Royer, who also investigated it was so impressed with the value of the process that he declared his intention of paving the road to his residence irrespective of the decision of the trustees. The matter was turned over to the street committee for further action. Ordinance No. 228, levying a tax for municipal purposes, was introduced, and will be passed at the next regular meeting. The total levy is $1.70 on the hundred dollars, which is the same as the previous year, notwithstanding the additional paving bonds item. Levi Mann was granted permission to erect a $4000 frame apartment house on Olive street, and three other permits were granted as follows: To James R. Shears, frame dwelling and barn on Sycamore street; cost $3000. To W. W. Crone, frame dwelling and barn on Philadelphia street; cost $2400. To J. J. Dwyer, frame addition to a brick dwelling on West street, cost $200. The application of Dell Ramerez for permission to erect a small corrugated iron structure on West Center street was denied. Marshal Simpson stated that a post office inspector was in town establishing the free delivery system and that Postmaster Duckworth requested permission to use the city's electric light poles for mail box posts, which was granted. Inasmuch as the postoffice department requires that the names of all streets be posted conspicuously at the corners Trustee Stock advocated the planting of white posts without arms with the street names painted perpendicularly on their sides. The telephone companies, he said, granted permission to use their poles for this purpose wherever convenient. His recommendation was adopted. City Recorder Howard appears to have been doing a land office business during the past month. He reported twenty-one cases in his court, and fines or forfeited ball collected the accusation in an affidavit. Affidavits concerning other reports that Ward had been grafting were introduced tending to show that he was innocent. After the evidence had been read a motion to exonerate him of the charges was passed. It is intimated by those carrying on the fight against him that the charges against Ward as made will not be dropped on account of the action of the board. MANY GOING TO CIRCUS Anaheim Will Be Well Represented In Santa Ana on the 23d The Barnum and Bailey Greatest Show on Earth is the powerful magnet that will draw thousands of people from northern Orange county on Friday, Sept. 23, to Santa Ana. The railroads will make a special lowrate and excursions will be run. A glance at the list of features offered by this circus discloses many wonders. Jupiter, "the Balloon Horse," takes a trip to the dome of the tent and comes back to earth in a shower of fireworks. Desperado, a rash Frenchman, divides from the top of the arena to the ground, lighting on his bare chest. Charlie the First, a chimpanzee, presents a greater bicycle and acrobatic act than any man ever achieved. A company of fifty clowns creates incessant laughter. A member of the Siegrist-Silb-on family of aerialists, blindfolds his eyes and leaps across the entire width of the arena, turns a double somersault on the way and catches the wrists of a comrade who hangs head down from a flying swing. The Abner family of Mexican gymnasts introduce a great novelty act. Berzac's horses present an amusing play, the scene of which is laid in a country inn. One horse plays landlord and another is the town constable. The other horses make very amusing boarders.Paula Peters' monkey and dog circus holds the attention of the audience for half an hour. A mastiff villain sets fire to the hero's cottage. The dog fire department responds. The captain climbs a ladder and rescues Miss Poodle and an ape detective puts the villain in a cell.

IRRIGATION OF ORCHARDS Use of Water Covers a Wide Scope of Investigation No recent publication of the U. S. Department of Agriculture possesses more interest to Orange county orchardists than that just issued on irrigation of Orchards, by Samuel Fortier, chief of irrigation investigations, in the office of the experiment stations at Washington. Mr. Fortier has written many reports upon the use of water in the orchard, but it is doubtful if any of his preceding reports cover so wide a scope of investigation as the one now before us. We give our readers herewith the benefit of his observations, and shall quote extensively from his report. Mr. Fortier begins his paper with a chapter upon the Selection of Lands for Orchards, and holds that care and good judgment should be exercised in the selection of an orchard tract. If it turns out well the profits are high, but if it fails the losses are heavy. It involves the setting aside of good land, the use of irrigation water, and somewhat heavy expenses in purchasing trees, setting them out and caring for them until they begin to bear. Assuming that the climate and soil of the district selected are adapted to the kind of trees to be grown, the next most important things to consider are good drainage and freedom from early and late frosts. Low-lying lands under a new irrigation system should be regarded with suspicion, even if the subsoil be quite dry at the time of planting. The results of a few years of heavy and careless irrigation on the higher land adjacent may render the lowlands unfit for orchards. On the other hand, the higher lands are not always well drained naturally. A bank of clay retention of moisture and the growth of young trees. An effort should be made to establish a fairly uniform grade from top to bottom of each tract. This is done by cutting off the high points and depositing the earth thus obtained in the depressions. The length of the furrows should not exceed one-eighth of a mile and in sandy soil they should be shorter. As a rule, it is not difficult to grade the surface of an orchard so that small runs of water will readily flow in furrows from top to bottom. In setting out orchards which are to be irrigated, the elevation of the surface of the ground should first be ascertained. This is usually done by making a contour survey by which each tract is divided up into a number of curved strips or belts by level lines. With these as a guide the direction of the tree rows can be readily determined. Where the trees are watered in basins or checks, the flat slopes are not so objectionable, but in furrow irrigation a slope of about 2 in. to the 100 feet is necessary to insure an even distribution of water. When streams are to be run in the furrows the slope of the furrows may be increased to 8, 10, and even to 12 inches to the 100 feet. On slopes varying from 10 to 40 feet to the mile, the tree rows may therefore be located at the upper distance apart down the steepest slope. Under such conditions the trees are most commonly planted in squares. The location of the trees can be best fixed by the use of a surveyor's transit and steel tape. When these are not available a woven-wire cable about three-sixteenths of an inch in diameter will answer the purpose. If apple trees are to be set out and it is desired to have them 32 feet apart, tags are inserted between the strands of the cable to mark this exact distance. A base line at the proper distance from feet per second. A ditch having a bottom width of 24 inches, a depth of 6 inches, and sloping sides, ought to carry 1 1/2 cubic feet per second on a grade of half an inch to the rod or 3 inches to 100 feet. Such a ditch can be built by first plowing four furrows and then removing the loose earth either with shovels or a narrow scraper. The loose earth may likewise be thrown up on the sides and top by means of a homemade implement. Canvas dams, metal tappoons, or other similar devices are inserted in the head ditch to raise the surface of the water opposite that part of the orchard where furrows have been opened and which is about to be watered. The chief difficulty in this mode of furrow irrigation arises in withdrawing water from the ditch and in distributing it equally among a large number of furrows. A skilled irrigator may adjust the size and depth of the ditch bank openings so as to secure a somewhat uniform flow in the furrows, but constant attention is required in order to maintain it. If the water is permitted to flow for a short time unattended the distribution is likely to become unequal. The parts of the ditch bank become soft, and, as the water rushes through, the earth is washed away, permitting larger discharges and lowering the general level of the water in the ditch so that other openings may have no discharge. Some of the orchardists of San Diego county, Cal., insert in niches cut in the bank pieces of old grain sacks or tent cloth. The water flows over these without eroding the earth. Another device is to use a board pointed at the lower end and containing a narrow opening or slot through which the water passes to the furrow. Shingles are also used to regulate the flow in the furrows. The thin ends of these are stuck into the ground at the heads of furrows. In recent years short tubes or next most important things to consider are good drainage and freedom from early and late frosts. Low-lying lands under a new irrigation system should be regarded with suspicion, even if the subsoil be quite dry at the time of planting. The results of a few years of heavy and careless irrigation on the higher land adjacent may render the lowlands unfit for orchards. On the other hand, the higher lands are not always well drained naturally. A bank of clay extending across a slope may intercept percolating water and raise it near the surface. Favored locations for orchards in the mountain states are often found in the narrow river valleys at the mouths of canyons. The coarse soil of these deltas, the steep slopes, and daily occurrence of the winds which blow first out of the canyons and then back into them, afford excellent conditions for the production of highly flavored fruits at the minimum risk of being injured by frost. Proper exposure is another important factor. In the warmer regions of the west and southwest a northern exposure is sometimes best, but as a rule the orchards of the west require warmth and sunshine, and a southern exposure is usually most desirable. Natural barriers frequently intercept the sweep of cold, destructive winds, and when these are lacking, windbreaks may be planted to serve the same purpose. Depressions or sheltered coves should be avoided if the cold air has a tendency to collect in them, a free circulation of air being necessary to drive away frost. The low-lying lands seem to be the most subject to cold, stagnant air. While experience has shown that orchard trees of nearly all kinds can be successfully grown on soils that differ widely in their mechanical and chemical composition, it has also shown that certain types of soils are best adapted to particular kinds of trees. Thus the best peach, almond, apricot and olive orchards of the west are found on the lighter or sandier loams; the best apple, cherry, and pear orchards on heavier loams; while walnut, prune and orange orchards do best on medium grades of soil. The requirements of all, however, are a deep rich, and well-drained soil. Formerly most western orchards were supplied with water through the earthen ditches. These leaky, unsightly channels, by reason of their cheapness, would have been quite generally retained had it not been for the increasing value and scarcity of next most important things to consider are good drainage and freedom from early and late frosts.

The requirements of all, however, are a deep rich, and well-drained soil. Formerly most western orchards were supplied with water through the earthen ditches. These leaky, unsightly channels, by reason of their cheapness, would have been quite generally retained had it not been for the increasing value and scarcity of water. The value of water for irrigation purposes has increased beyond the average of that given by the census report of 1902 over 300 per cent. In many localities there is likewise great scarcity at certain times. These rapidly changing conditions have induced many water companies to save some of their heavy losses in conveying water supplies by substituting pipes for open ditches in earth, or else by making the ditches water-tight by an impervious lining. The high value and scarcity of the water in natural streams have likewise induced orchardists to install pumping plants to raise water from underground sources. It was estimated that in 1909 20,000 of these plants were in operation in California alone. In other parts of the west reservoirs are being built to supplement the late summer flow of streams which fall to provide enough water for all. As a rule fruit trees are planted on land previously cultivated and cropped. One of the best preparatory crops for orchards is alfalfa. This vigorous plant breaks up the soil and subsoil by its roots, collects and stores valuable plant foods, and when it is turned under at the end of the second year or third year leaves the soil in much better condition for the orchards have been planted too close. This is made clear to even the casual observer who visits the old orange groves of Riverside, Cal., the deciduous orchards of the Santa Clara Valley, California, or the apple orchards of the Hood River district in Oregon. Under irrigation systems the peach trees should be spaced 20 to 22 feet, olive, pear, apricot and cherry trees from 22 to 28 and 30 feet, orange trees 22 to 24 feet, apple trees 30 to 36 feet, and walnut trees from 48 to 56 feet apart. The usual way of irrigating orchards is by means of furrows. These vary in depth, length, and distance apart, but this diversity does not tend to create different kinds of furrow irrigation. The division of this subject is rather due to the means employed in distributing water from the supply ditch to the furrows. In some cases the distribution is effected by making openings in an earthen ditch, in others by inserting wooden or iron spouts in the ditch banks, while in many others flumes having the desired number of openings or pipes with standpipes divide the supply among the requisite number of furrows. These designs and methods will be described under their respective headings. Permanent ditches at the head of orchard tracts should be located by a surveyor. The proper grade depends chiefly on the soil. If the soil is loose and easily eroded, a slow velocity is best. On the other hand, the velocity must be sufficiently rapid to prevent the deposition of silt and the growth of water plants. In ordinary soils, a grade of 2 1-2 inches to 100 feet for a ditch carrying 2 cubic feet per second is not far out of the way. The amount of water to be carried varies from 1-2 to 2 or more cubic Such pipes when cut into suitable lengths make a good substitute for wooden spouts. Tin tubes one-half inch in diameter and of the proper length have been used with good success. In compact soils, through which water passes very slowly, the furrows must be near together, and under such conditions small tin tubes are to be preferred. In making use of tubes of various kinds to distribute water to furrows it is necessary to maintain a constant head in the supply ditch. This is done by inserting checks at regular distances. These distances vary with the grade of the ditch, but 150 feet is not far from being an average spacing. In temporary ditches the canvas dam is perhaps the best check, but in permanent ditches it pays to use wood or concrete. In this the opening is controlled by a flashboard which may be adjusted so as to hold the water at any desired height and at the same time permit the surplus to flow over the top to feed the next lower set of furrows.
