GOOD ROADS It Was Warm While It Lasted In Placentia—Apparently a Compromise on the Pierotti Road—Fullerton, Orangethorpe and Buena Park Do Not Agree—Olive Bridge Should Be Included A. A. MILLS The highway commission came to Placentia as scheduled and there was something doing. It is reported that there was much heated debate, but that most of the combatants declared they should vote for the bonds irrespective of where the roads were located finally. The impression goes out that the commission would relocate the highway by lifting it from the Sam Kraemer road and placing it on the middle or Pierotti road. It is claimed this is satisfactory to all the Placentia people concerned, except those on the Placentia avenue. A Fullerton-Buena Park Problem Fullerton was the only section that was entirely dissatisfied with the report of the commission. At a recent meeting of their chamber of commerce it was decided to ask the commission to amend the report by including all of Orangethorpe from Placentia avenue to Buena Park and also the Pomona road. Since then Fullerton has decided she wants a road west from her city limits along the Emery ranch to the Buena Park road. Unless there were two roads built parallel only one mile apart this would leave out Orangethorpe and Buena Park. The park people decided to get busy and insist that the Orangethorpe road east be improved. WATER BOARD MINUTES Secretary's Report of Proceedings of Saturday's Meeting Anaheim, Cal., Feb. 4, 1911. A regular meeting of the board of directors of the A.U.W.Co. was held on the above date. Members present were Crowther, Drake, Porter and Sherwood. Members absent were Bradford, Hale and McLauchlin. The minutes of the preceding regular meeting were read and approved. The report of the finance committee was received and filed and warrants were ordered drawn in payment of the various demands therein contained. The reports of the treasurer, superintendent and secretary were each in turn received and filed. The request of H. D. Tuffree for the construction of a culvert at his property was referred to the superintendent. Mr. Tuffree agreed to pay one-half the expense of construction. A communication was received from J. R. Hitchcock of the Santa Fe railway company, stating that Fred H. Bixby had made request to them for permission to attach a pipe line to their windmill at Horseshoe Bend for the purpose of conveying water to his stock on land adjoining the railroad right of way at that point. Before granting this request Mr. Hitchcock desired the information in regards to the rights of Mr. Bixby to the use of the water at this point.On motion of Sherwood seconded by Porter, the secretary was instructed to notify Mr. Hitchcock that Mr. Bixby had no right to use the water at this point, as the contract with him allowed him to use water at only three new positions.

Ever since the foreover the management forests, it has been commission to amend the report by including all of Orangethorpe from Placentia avenue to Buena Park and also the Pomona road. Since then Fullerton has decided she wants a road west from her city limits along the Emery ranch to the Buena Park road. Unless there were two roads built parallel only one mile apart this would leave out Orangethorpe and Buena Park. The park people decided to get busy and insist that the Orangethorpe road east be improved. At a meeting of the chamber of commerce on Monday night a committee consisting of Wilcox and Warren were appointed to circulate a petition in the Park and along the Orangethorpe road. Before they got in action on Tuesday morning Morris Smith and Lil Gardiner of Orangethorpe came down there with petitions and so all got busy. On Orangethorpe avenue Smith and Gardiner got 42 signatures from the Buena Park road east to the Orangethorpe school. Did not find a single man against the proposition. Something doing? State Highway Boosters Imperial county has joined with San Diego and is putting in a claim for a road from her county seat to San Diego. The county is sending a paid representative to Sacramento to get a line on the matter. That Olive Bridge The Anaheim chamber of commerce has asked that the Olive bridge be included in the county highway system. In the commission's original report it is set out that probably there would be a protection district formed to control the river both above and below this bridge; that at present the river is footloose, so to speak, and a bridge under present conditions would be impracticable. In asking that the report be referred back to the commission it was suggested to the supervisors that the bed of the river could be established and a permanent bridge be built there and temporary approaches made to it until such time as the river was taken care of in some effective way. In speaking of this to Engineer Kellogg he said that twice the bed of the river has been lined out and located at the Olive bridge; that the alignment there is easy and that the supervisors have the authority to establish an official bed for a river. Could not the county engineer in consultation with the local engineers who have done much work on the river line it out and locate the natural and proper bed and thus solve the difficulty? The bridge must be built and the purpose of conveying water to his stock on land adjoining the railroad right of way at that point. Before granting this request Mr. Hitchcock desired the information in regards to the rights of Mr. Bixby to the use of the water at this point. On motion of Sherwood seconded by Porter, the secretary was instructed to notify Mr. Hitchcock that Mr. Bixby had no right to use the water at this point, as the contract with him allowed him to use water at only three points on the canal, from which water is now being used. Application of S. Ross for purchase of fifty sacks of cement was allowed, on condition that the supply of cement on hand warranted same. On motion of Drake seconded by Porter, the president and secretary were authorized to execute the agreement submitted for the granting of the right to shoot upon the Yorba reservoir to A. L. Porter and others, upon payment of the annual rental. Applications on file for the transfer of stock were on motion granted. Supt. Porter reported that the company ditch on the road between the Parker and Tucker ranches had been filled in by the county without permission. No action was taken in the matter. The superintendent also reported that the Pacific Electric railway company had neglected to remove gravel from the main canal, which had been dumped into the canal while the road was being graded also that considerable gravel had slid down into the Anaheim ditch above the Yorba reservoir from the railway running parallel to the ditch. The secretary was instructed to have the attorney notify the Pacific Electric Co. to remove these deposits without delay. The secretary submitted the report of the annual net income of the company to be forwarded to the United States internal revenue office. The president and treasurer were authorized to attach their signatures to the report as required and forward same to the office of the collector of internal revenue. On motion the meeting adjourned.

Although Moore and Albrecht lead the fact that they have participated in only one and two games respectively, eliminates them from serious consideration. But when games played are taken into consideration Carpenter really is the Hans Wagner of the team, his record of nineteen hits in fifty-three trips to the plate accounting for some of the games won this season. The leading rungetter of the team is Capt. Lewis who has circled the bases twenty-three times, while Fisher is the leading thief, having fifteen stolen bases to his credit. Schneider leads in sacrifice hits, being credited with four. Of the long hits Carpenter leads with four homeruns one threebase hit and one twobase hit.

NEW POSITION SPAY $1200 Government Desires Men for Grazing Examiners in Forest Service Washington Feb. 8.—A new government position is disclosed by the announcement by the U.S. civil service commission of an examination which will be held February 23 and 24 to find three grazing examiners for the forest service. The positions will pay a salary of $1200 a year at entrance. The announcement specifies that the applicants must be men, at least twenty years old, and possessed of at least one season's experience in handling range stock, together with at least one year of technical training in specified botanical studies. The establishment of this position is in line with the objects which the department of agriculture has always had in view in its management of the grazing on the national forests. It is not merely seeking to prevent cattle and sheep from doing damage to forest growth and watershed conditions as they graze on the herbage which is yearly produced in the open forests, parks, and high mountain meadows within the national forests. The range-fed stock are a matter of decided importance to the American people in these days of rising prices for food products and diminishing supplies, in proportion to population, of livestock and therefore Secretary Wilson intends that every acre of national forest range shall be made to produce as much forage as it is capable of doing, consistently with the carrying out of the other purposes for which the national forests are maintained. Ever since the forest service took over the management of the national forests, it has been studying the range HAS NO SUBSTITUTE ROYAL BAKING POWDER Absolutely Pure The only baking powder made from Royal Grape Dream of Tartar NO ALUM, NO LIME PHOSPHATE EXPENSES ARE PILING UP People of California Getting Extraagent in Public Affairs The expenses of the state, county and city governments have all been growing by leaps and bounds in the last ten years. The cost of state government has increased from $8,891,535 in 1900-1 to $17,197,005 in 1909-10. That is to say, they have nearly doubled in the decade, and unless a halt is called they are likely to go on at the same rate of increase because the state has this year authorized a large bonded indebtedness. Among other things, we are invest- the center of the tent, the space used for the rings at a circus, will be artistically arranged working models of things related to the orange industry, such as packing houses, railroad trains and the like, these features being arranged for the purpose of relieving the monotony of the exhibits themselves. Few people realize the importance of the citrus crop in California, even in Southern California, but some idea may be had when it is understood that the crop this year is estimated to be in the neighborhood of 45,000 carloads. The handling of such an output involves the labor of a vast army of workers and the amount of money involved is so great that the industry must of necessity be classed as one of the largest in the United States. In connection with the National Orange Show the California Fruit Growers convention will be held in San Bernardino during that week, and this in itself will be sufficient to center the interest of the fruit growing world in the National Orange Show.

Ever since the forest service took over the management of the national forests, it has been studying the range problem along with its regulation of grazing. In the beginning it was confronted with the fact that a very large part of the range had been badly abused and depleted through the competition of rival owners before any restrictions had been put upon them. And by overcrowding and bad methods of handling stock. Its supporting power had in consequence been greatly reduced, and was steadily declining. To enable overgrazed areas to recuperate and to prevent the extension of overgrazed conditions to new areas, the amount of stock to be allowed on the forests was everywhere carefully prescribed. The results were then observed, and if it appeared that there was still over-use of the range, the numbers permitted were cut down still further. On the other hand, recuperation has taken place the allowance of stock has been correspondingly increased. The proposal to appoint specialists who are both thoroughly trained botanists and men of practical experience in range matters indicates recognition of the fact that to attain the very highest point of range productivity the best scientific knowledge must be applied to the study of the problems of forage production and utilization. ANAHEIM LIBRARY REPORT January, 1911, Banner Month in Circulation of Books The report submitted by Miss Jean Adams, librarian of the Anaheim public library, for the month of January shows a very much increased interest by the reading public. The circulation of books during the month totals 1271, and 21 new cardholders were added. On Saturday, Feb. 4, 104 books were taken from the library, the largest number ever given out in one day since the opening of this public building. The figures tell the story of Anaheim's steady growth, not only in grasping out for new business and new industries, but for a greater intellectual growth. The librarian attributes the great increase of interest to the influx of agent in Public Affairs The expenses of the state, county and city governments have all been growing by leaps and bounds in the last ten years. The cost of state government has increased from $8,891,535 in 1900-1 to $17,197,005 in 1909-10. That is to say, they have nearly doubled in the decade, and unless a halt is called they are likely to go on at the same rate of increase because the state has this year authorized a large bonded indebtedness. Among other things, we are investing large, fat wads in the keep of useless or extravagant commissions, every one of which means a lobby at Sacramento begging for appropriations to make special and superfluous investigations to be applied chiefly to swell the already enormous sum expended for purposes of political patronage. Few people realize, for example, that the bureau of labor statistics cost $43,757 in the last year, of which $8530 was paid for Johnny McKenzie's report in favor of Japaneese labor. Adjutant General Lauck asked for an appropriation of $523,525 for the national guard for the coming two years, as to which Mr. Nye remarks diplomatically: "I have felt compelled by reason of revenue conditions already mentioned to reduce considerably." There are 12 state boards and commissions, whose expenses last year ranged from $189,878 for the fish and game commission to $26,036 for state veterinarian, of whose existence most of us had never heard. Who is the gilt-edged horse doctor? We have been increasing official salaries in a generous fashion. The additions voted by constitutional amendment in 1908 include $62,400 per year for members of the legislature. In this career of extravagance the counties and the cities have far outstripped the state. The counties, for example, were spending $12,741,955 in 1900. In 1910 the cost of county government in California was $27,788,108. Complete statistics on cost of municipal government in California are not available for 10 years back, but the figures given by Mr. Nye show that in 1908 the total cost of city government was $28,138,522, and in 1910 it was $40,253,518. In the same decade the state assessments for all property has increased from $1,217,648,863 in 1900 to $2,372,944,301 in 1900.

On Saturday, Feb. 4, 104 books were taken from the library, the largest number ever given out in one day since the opening of this public building. The figures tell the story of Anaheim's steady growth, not only in grasping out for new business and new industries, but for a greater intellectual growth. The librarian attributes the great increase of interest to the influx of new people into the town, and the problem now presents itself as to how to meet the increasing business. The library needs new furniture, new books and perhaps soon an extension of the open hours. The juvenile reading room is to be refurnished and a magazine reading room opened and furnished, two very badly needed improvements, and other changes are contemplated which will facilitate the work and give the patrons greater convenience. Cash contributions, books or furniture will be cheerfully received at the library at any time. During the month of January Mrs. Teffender of San Francisco donated to the library a monthly magazine, "The Theosophic Messenger," and a book of lectures on Theosophy was donated by Anna Besant. The January report follows: Circulation, fiction 819, non-fiction 29, juvenile 283, magazine 140, total 1271. New cardholders added 21; books added by gift 2; books added by purchase 3. NATIONAL ORANGE SHOW San Bernardino to Have Exhibition of Citrus Fruits While the First National Orange Show in the United States will be held in San Bernardino, March 6 to 11, it will be an exposition in which the entire state of California will be interested for the reason that the prime object of the move is to advertise to the world the magnitude of the orange industry and the fact that only in California can the golden fruit be grown under the best conditions. The plan to be followed is similar to that so successfully carried out in the past at the National Apple Show and the National Corn Show. A mammoth tent as large as that used by the largest circus has been obtained and in it will be arranged not only the exhibits of citrus fruit from all sections of California and Arizona, but also displays representing the kindred industries such as box making, packing, precooling and refrigeration and miniature of the railroad equipment necessary to get the golden harvest to the market.
