DISPOSITION OF SEWAGE Progress Made by California Cities During Year By N. D. Baker, Engineer-Inspector, State Board of Health: The following data has been compiled from the Engineering Record, Engineering News, and from records of the State Board of Health to show that steady progress has been made during the past six months in the sewage disposal and water supply improvements of California cities. It will be noted that every section of the state is represented in these lists. December 25, 1909.—Santa Paula. A movement looking to the building of sewers. January 6, 1910.—Long Beach. Is making plans for new system. January 6.—East San Jose. Plans accepted December 21 for new system. Feb. 10th, contract for sewers made at price of $29,000. January 13.—Whittier. Contract for sewers and septic tank let. January 22.—Berkeley. Sewer improvements planned to cost about $500,000. January 22.—Monrovia. Soon to have an election to vote on $100,000 bonds for sewers. January 20.—Bakersfield. Contract for septic tank made at $14,500. January 27.—Colton. Plans for sewer system to cost $65,000 completed. April 23, bonds for sewer passed. January 27.—Imperial. $35,000 of bonds sold for sewers. April 14 the contract for sewer system awarded at $33,346. January 29.—Mayfield. Plans for sewer system accepted. Estimated cost, $37,000. March 24, contract is January 20.—Bakersfield. Contract for septic tank made at $14,500. January 27.—Colton. Plans for sewer system to cost $65,000 completed. April 23, bonds for sewer passed. January 27.—Imperial. $35,000 of bonds sold for sewers. April 14 the contract for sewer system awarded at $33,346. January 29.—Mayfield. Plans for sewer system accepted. Estimated cost, $37,000. March 24, contract is awarded for $21,785. March 26.—Santa Clara. Storm sewers are planned, to cost $5000. April 16.—Pasadena. Contract is let for septic tank for $10,000. May 7.—Santa Ana. Plans being made for outfall sewer to cost $35,000. An accompanying table gives the sewage disposal data for a partial list of the cities and towns which the State Board of Health has been studying during the past year. Nineteen of these communities discharge their sewage into salt-water; fifteen without previous treatment; four after septic tank treatment. Of these thirty-five use their sewage for farm irrigation; eleven without previous treatment, twenty-four after a septic tank treatment. Fifteen of them discharge their sewage into "fresh-water" streams; twelve directly into streams without previous treatment; three after preliminary treatment in a septic tank. Four discharge sewage on the surface of low waste land; two directly; two after treatment in a septic tank. The twelve communities discharging their sewage directly into "fresh-water" aggregate a total estimated population of 123,000. The population of those communities in this partial-list which have provided treatment, sewage farming or discharge into salt-water totals 1,530,000. Estimating the total population of the state at 2,056,190, it will be seen that approximately four fifths of the population of California live in communities already provided with sewers. Seventy-three towns and cities are represented in this tabulation, of which number only twelve have not attempted to remove their sewage from the streams or to treat it before discharge. The Sacramento and its tributaries, the San Joaquin and its tributaries, and the Salinas-Pajaro rivers represent the surface streams receiving this raw-sewage. The farmers' bulletin series now contains 57 numbers, each number comprising from six to a dozen condensed summaries of work done in one or more of the state agricultural experiment stations, and they form a library on approximately 500 subjects of interest to practical agriculturists. During recent years this series has increased wonderfully in popularity, and there is every evidence, says the annual report of the editor, that the farmers generally are beginning to appreciate their value. These farmers bulletins were first issued in 1890, at which time 540,000 copies were issued of 12 separate bulletins. The number of these bulletins issued last year was 45, and nearly 10,000,000 copies were distributed. Joseph A. Arnold, editor of the department of agriculture, by way of illustrating this growth in popularity of the farmers' bulletins, refers to No. 391, issued last March, on the economical use of meat in the home. That bulletin has been reprinted 8 times, and 900,000 copies of it have been distributed thus far. Bulletins discussing nutrition are also in great demand. Mr. Arnold adds: "The demand for the farmers' bulletins was unprecedented the past year, and it was with some difficulty and not without some delay, that the orders for printing them were executed. There is an increasing demand for these popular bulletins from schools of all grades and from higher educational institutions, where they are used in connection with the courses of instruction." Some of these departmental publications are on sale, and it is noted that the sale increases have been very heavy. In five years these sales have increased 205 per cent, while the amount of cash received has increased 240 per cent. In 1906, for instance, 45,745 copies of bulletins were sold, for $5,386,28, while in the past year the number sold was 147,327 and the amount received $18,398,18. These bulletins are sold at cost, and the average price of them is only a few cents. "No other government," says Mr. Arnold, "publishes as many public documents as the United States and no other executive department of the government issues as many publications as the department of agriculture. It is the function of this department to acquire and disseminate useful information with regard to agriculture. With the rapid increase in population of the country and the consequent increasing demand for feet deep or less if Cubbon alleges that never owned the land did not drill for abandoned all attempts oil. The same set of facts regard to others who terest in the quarter himself Cubbon asks $1000. He also asks claims assigned as for P. R. Reynolds, $500; $500; Samuel Mathewsur, $1000; C. B.; C. E. Parker, $1000; G. Twist, $1000. The $500 were to get a terest in the land,$1000 to get one-third est. The total judgment bon is $7000. That against the company against each of the companies. Efforts to settle thieves Cubbon and sent by him, on the defendants, on failed. Some of the willing to dig up thieves $7000, but it was fouls bring the suit in order the defendants. STANTON FILE Asks Damages from Land D Philip A. Stapton asks water and cross-compile brought against him French. Mrs. French She alleged that in near this city from agreed to furnish irrig which he failed to do Stanton alleges that lands could have recurrent of the company wanted it; that no raised or attempted that Mrs. French has ed to use the water. In his cross-complaints that on Jan. 2 twenty-six acres to M got in return a note shares of stock in the water company horses said to be worth $50 cash. Stanton said he forts to sell the note horses and mules,and get for them was $35 depended entirely upon ASK NEW SCHOOL DISTRICT Residents in East Country Would Separate from Us J. L. Davee, T. Bentjen, J. A. Goetz and a number of other residents east of Anaheim, have petitioned the county school superintendent and the board of supervisors for the formation of a new school district to be known as Commonwealth school district. The proposed district would be made up of parts of Placentia, Anaheim, Olive and Orange districts, and already there is talk of opposition from at least two of the districts, Placentia and Anaheim. Olive and Orange are hardly touched by the proposed lines. At present the boundary lines lie a short way west of the river. The new district adherents would change the line to the river. Probably no residents are in the strip, and the land is not of sufficient amount to cut much figure in the assessment. The objection that Olive and Orange might have would be that the change would mean unnecessary changing of maps, with nothing much to be gained by the Commonwealth district. The proposed district would take in the east end of the Anaheim district, all of Richfield, part of the Kraemer tract and all of the Golden State tract. The supervisors will hear the petition on Jan. 4, at 11 o'clock. "No other government," says Mr. Arnold, "publishes as many public documents as the United States and no other executive department of the government issues as many publications as the department of agriculture. It is the function of this department to acquire and disseminate useful information with regard to agriculture. With the rapid increase in population of the country and the consequent increasing demand for publications it became apparent many years ago that the department probably could never secure an appropriation sufficient for printing documents to supply the demand. "Congress has, however, provided a solution of the problem by authorizing the sale of government publications at a nominal price. The superintendent of documents, under the law, may reprint and sell any publication, so long as there is a demand for it, without expense to this department. Consequently, by paying the price fixed by law, applicants are able to secure documents which can no longer be secured from the department, and which would not otherwise be available, owing to the insufficiency of the department's fund for printing additional copies."

The defendants are the oil company and its six stockholders, Frank Monaghan, president; C. M. Jordan, secretary, and G. A. Edgar of Santa Ana, and T. J. Carrigan, C. D. Dickensheets and C. A. Sarber of Los Angeles. The company is capitalized for $12,000, of which $2000 is held by each stockholder. The Fresno county property on which the company proposed to put down a well was the southest quarter of section 26, township 19 south, range 14 west. Cubbon sets forth that on March 18, 1910, he paid $1000 to the California Drilling & Petroleum Co., in payment for a one-thirty-second interest in the land, with the signed agreement of the promoting company that within thirty days it would begin to drill for oil, and would continue drilling until the well was 1500 feet deep or less if oil was struck. Cubbon alleges that the company never owned the land, never had title, did not drill for oil and have abandoned all attempts to drill for oil. The same set of facts is alleged in regard to others who bought an interest in the quarter section. For himself Cubbon asks judgment for $1000. He also asks judgment on claims assigned as follows: From Dr. P. R. Reynolds, $500; P. T. Adams, WILL TURN MONEY OVER Naturalization Fees to Go Into County Treasury Under a decision just rendered by the appellate court in San Francisco, county clerks all over the state will turn money over to the county collected by them in the last four years as fees in naturalization matters. When naturalization matters were turned over to the superior courts and county clerks, by the federal authorities, the federal authorities stipulated that half the fees go to the federal treasury, and told clerks that the other half would go to them. In the larger cities these facts pile up fast. San Francisco sued its county clerk, Mulcrevy, for $2900, alleging that any fees collected by the clerk should go to the county treasury. The upper court upholds the view that the fees go to the county. County Clerk Williams of this county has received $213 in the last four years, of which half has gone to the federal treasury. He has held the other $106 pending the decision in the San Francisco case, and now that that case determines that the fees go to the county, Williams will turn over to County Treasurer Joplin the sum of $106.50. SANTA ANA By orders of the juvenile judge, Robert Davis, aged 11, of Fullerton, is in the detention home at Santa Ana, and Hobard Nichols, aged 11, of the same town, is at his home, on the promise to quit playing hockey, to quit smoking cigarettes and quit “being bad.” Last summer the two boys were concerned with an older boy in burglarizing a number of houses. At that time they were taken into the juvenile custody. FRITZ VS. MEINECKE Brings Suit to Recover Property Given Defendants Alleging that a man and wife whom he believed were his friends have taken advantage of his ignorance,Herr Christ Fritz of Anaheim has begun suit against August Meinecke and his wife, Emma. The complaint in the case has been filed with the county clerk by Attorney Spencer of this city. The complaint sets forth the following allegations: Fritz is a man 67 years old, uneducated and uninformed in relation to land matters. For a long time he had known Meinecke and his wife, and had great confidence in them. On Nov. 6, 1909, Fritz had $3000 in cash and mortgage loans. That was all he had. The husband and wife wanted to get five acres of land adjoining theirs. It was agreed that the defendants should use the $3000, after promising that they would give Fritz a comfortable home during the rest of his life, would provide him with food and clothing and $100 a year. Fritz signed an agreement to convey the property to Mrs. Meinecke, and he also signed a deed of the five acres that was then purchased. This deed was signed with the understanding that it should not be recorded until Fritz’s death. Fritz alleges that the contract was not kept, that he has not had a comfortable home, food and clothing,and has received but $75. Moreover,the deed of the five acres to Mrs. Meinecke has been recorded, and Fritz is not yet dead. On Dec. 10 Fritz demanded that the defendants place him in possession of his property. Cubbon alleges that the company never owned the land, never had title, did not drill for oil and have abandoned all attempts to drill for oil. The same set of facts is alleged in regard to others who bought an interest in the quarter section. For himself Cubbon asks judgment for $1000. He also asks judgment on claims assigned as follows: From Dr. P. R. Reynolds, $500; P. T. Adams, $500; Samuel Mathews, $1000; C. F. Mansur, $1000; C. B. Leddick, $1000; C. E. Parker, $1000; A. C. and C. G. Twist, $1000. Those who paid in $500 were to get a one-sixty-fourth interest in the land, those paying in $1000 to get one-thirty-second interest. The total judgment asked by Cubbon is $7000. That amount is asked against the company, with $1166.66 against each of the six stockholders of the company. Efforts to settle the differences between Cubbon and the men represented by him, on the one hand, and the defendants, on the other hand, failed. Some of the defendants were willing to dig up their share of the $7000, but it was found necessary to bring the suit in order to include all the defendants. STANTON FILES ANSWER Asks Damages from Mrs. French in Land Deal Philip A. Stapton has filed an answer and cross-complaint in the suit brought against him by Mrs. A. A. French. Mrs. French sued for $6500. She alleged that in purchasing land near this city from Stanton, Stanton agreed to furnish irrigation water, which he failed to do. In his answer, Stanton alleges that Mrs. French's lands could have received irrigation water under the rules and regulations of the company, had Mrs.French wanted it; that no crops have been raised or attempted to be raised; that Mrs. French has never attempted to use the water. In his cross-complaint Stanton asserts that on Jan. 2, 1909, he sold twenty-six acres to Mrs. French and got in return a note for $2525, 130 shares of stock in the Imperial valley water company, horses and mules said to be worth $500, and $819 in cash. Stanton said he made many efforts to sell the note, water stock and horses and mules, and all he could get for them was $3563. He says he depended entirely upon the plaintiff's three drilling until the well was 1500 feet deep or less if oil was struck. Cubbon alleges that the company never owned the land, never had title, did not drill for oil and have abandoned all attempts to drill for oil. The same set of facts is alleged in regard to others who bought an interest in the quarter section. For himself Cubbon asks judgment for $1000. He also asks judgment on claims assigned as follows: From Dr. P. R. Reynolds, $500; P. T. Adams, $500; Samuel Mathews, $1000; C. F. Mansur, $1000; C. B. Leddick, $1000; C. E. Parker, $1000; A.

By orders of the juvenile judge，Robert Davis，aged 11，of Fullerton，is in the detention home at Santa Ana，and Hobard Nichols，aged 11，of the same town，is at his home，on the promise to quit playing hookey，to quit smoking cigarettes and quit "being bad."Last summer the two boys were concerned with an older boy in burglarizing a number of houses.At that time they were taken into the juvenile court and，when they had promised to steal no more，they were allowed to return to Fullerton。They evidently kept their promise to steal no more.At least there have been no more complaints along that line，但 of other complaints there are many.City Marshal Stone of Fullerton on the witness stand recited to Judge West some of the things charged against the two boys.He said he was told they held another boy on a railroad track，telling him they were going to let an approaching train kill him；that they stripped another boy beneath a bridge，built a fire and wreep preparing to tie the prisoner over the fire when a man stopped them；that they turned over a gasoline can beside a tamale wagon and set it afire.The boys admitted thatthe charge was true，but deniedthe others.Hobard Nichols，the 11-year-old,said he had been smoking cigarettes four years and got them offthe street if he could not get them elsewhere.The city marshal said Hobard once forged an order for tobacco and got another boy to get the stuff.The boy seems to be as sharp as a tack and the officers say he is without fear of anything。他 said he learned to smoke from Mexicans in New Mexico.

Stanton said he made many efforts to sell the note, water stock and horses and mules, and all he could get for them was $3563. He says he depended entirely upon the plaintiff's representations as to their worth, but found when he came to attempting a sale that the representations were false. By reason of those circumstances Stanton alleges he was damaged $1512, and asks judgment for that amount. SURVEY OF NEWPORT HARBOR A survey and examination of Newport bay, to ascertain if it should be improved for harbor purposes by the government, will be made by Lieut. Chas. T. Leeds, United States district engineer, if the river and harbor bill now pending in congress passes the senate as it has the lower house. A provision for this purpose is contained in the bill and also one for the examination and survey of Santa Barbara harbor, which also is in this engineering district. Inasmuch as the board of engineers recently decided adversely on the improvement of Long Beach harbor by the government, although it was advised by Capt. W. P. Stokey, acting United States engineer, there is considerable question what attitude would be taken concerning Newport harbor, even if Lieut. Leeds reports in favor of the proposed improvement. Smoked Salmon at Dickel's. to impress upon the mind of the army officer making the examination the feasibility of some definite plan of improvement. The congressman says in his letter that he is convinced that Newport bay ought to have a considerable shipping business, and it is his intention to do all he can to advance the interests of the bay as a harbor. W. F. Lutz, representing a number of local men who recently formed a bank and who applied for a national charter, has received assurances in the following message from Deputy Controller W. J.

Among local men interested are John Cubbon, W. F. Lutz, A. J. Visel, G. H. Randall, Stephen Ross, Charles Ross, M. Nisson. FRUITS GOING BY WATER The first oranges and lemons ever shipped to New York from the Pacific coast by water were loaded on the steamer Olsen & Mahoney at San Pedro this week. The consignment is a trial shipment and consisted of one car of oranges and one car of lemons. If the experiment proves successful and the fruit arrives at its destination in good condition, it is expected that a considerable portion of the citrus fruit crop of Southern California will be shipped by water. The California Atlantic steamship company agreed to risk the freight if the fruit growers of San Bernardino would supply the fruit. The Olsen & Mahoney also took about 300 tons of beans and dried fruits for New York. She will continue her voyage to Ancon.
