ENTIRE BOND ISSUE TO BE SOLD AT ONGE COMMITTEE REPORTS UNFAVORABLY ON INSTALLMENT PLAN Los Angeles Bond Investors Recommend Selling Bonds in a Lump and Depositing Surplus Money in Savings Banks—Better Premium Can Be Secured—Three More Building Permits Granted for Residences — Other Notes of Extra Session of Board of Trustees Thursday Night The city trustees met in extraordinary session Thursday evening for the purpose of considering the report of the committee appointed at the previous meeting to consult the Los Angeles bond buyers relative to the proposition to issue and sell the sewer and power house bonds in installments at the option of the board of trustees. Messrs. Gates Stock and Nebelung composed the committee, and Mr. Melrose accompanied them. Chairman Gates reported that the committee had consulted the officials of the German-American bank, which has heretofore purchased all of the Anaheim municipal bonds, the American Savings bank, and Adams & Co. The Adams company agreed to bid on the bonds in whole or in part at any time, or to buy them on private contract, but the two banks recommended that the entire issue be sold at once. It was argued that a better premium could be secured by selling the whole in a block, and the surplus which will not be needed for a year or more, could be deposited these acts by members of monopolistic exchanges, are denounced for such tactics by many legislators. The legislators are determined that if these forms of stock trading are forbidden, they shall be forbidden to all citizens alike, whether members or non-members of an exchange. The majority of the lawmakers who have gone on record advocate the strict provisions of the Cartwright bill, and declare that it must be passed or the application of the provisions of the Hewitt bill be made applicable to all persons alike. They ask protection for their "legitimate" business against the onslaughts of the competing bucket-shops, and incidentally they will go to any extremity to win it from the state's lawmakers. Even Wall street is alarmed over the present danger to stock gambling in California. All California will be aroused when the facts are known. Already the country newspapers, the most untrammelled of all, have taken up the fight to wipe out stock gambling, which fattens only its promoters and injures everybody else. Wall street cannot afford to lose another state, especially California. For Texas and Alabama are already closed to the stock gamblers, where laws identical with the Cartwright bill are enforced today. And neither of these southern states are rated as progressive in spirit as is California since the last election. The boast has been made that the provisions of the Cartwright bill cannot be passed, or cannot even win a hearing sufficient to tear the whole subject wide open and make public revelations damaging to "legitimate" stock gambling. It is reported that the Cartwright provisions will be offered as an amalgamation of water power possibilities taken advantage of that water belongs settled former companies owning owning water rights. Now it is one great messers and owners, of land represents stock in a great cute not only waters great commodity "a very low estimate rived from each elver, will net $50 per development of 27 mean a revenue of $1 This amount distributes acres of land brings $5 to each acre, eas.

It was argued that a better premium could be secured by selling the whole in a block, and the surplus which will not be needed for a year or more, could be deposited in a savings bank and draw interest. The report of the committee was accepted and an advertisement soliciting sealed bids for the bonds was ordered published in the Gazette. The bids will be opened on Thursday evening, April 6th. C. E. Holcomb who is subdividing a portion of the Zeyn tract, which he now owns, asked permission to tap a water main on Lemon street as he is constructing sidewalk and curbing and needs water. The request was granted. He also requested permission to lay a five foot sidewalk in front of the property on Los Angeles street instead of six foot, the width of the walk already laid to his property. This request was not granted as it was deemed advisable to maintain a uniform width of walk on that street. Charles Dussourt, who was elected street sweeper at the last meeting, submitted a $500 bond signed by A. Arnold and Stephen Kistler, and it was accepted. Mr. Dussourt, who was present, registered a vigorous objection to the sweeper because the broom was too short and he could not cover as much territory in a day as he wanted to. He was finally pursued to be content with the present apparatus as it is impossible to add to the length of the brush. The committee appointed to confer with Judge Pope of Los Angeles and submit the sewer farm muddle to his expert judgment reported that a written opinion from him covering all the points at issue would be secured in a few days. Three building permits for residences outside the fire limits were granted as follows: To George M. Tedrick, dwelling and garage on Adele street, cost $2,-200. To R. A. Heinrick, frame residence on East Center street, cost $1200. To Max Jundge, frame residence, on Olive street, cost $1400. The public improvements committee finally located a much needed horse that could be secured at a rear lawn. WATER-JUMPERS' LAWSUIT Valley Irrigators Preparing to Maintain Rights in Court A water contest of unusual importance will be heard by Judge Conroy of the Los Angeles superior court, beginning May 1st and continuing for several weeks. It is an action affecting Orange, San Bernardino and Riverside waters and one which all of the superior court judges of those districts, Judge West of Orange county, Judge Densmore of Riverside and Judges Bledsoe and Oster of San Bernardino, are disqualified to hear. The suit involves the diversion of the waters of the Santa Ana river near Riverside, where both the subterranean and the surface flows are appropriated for domestic and irrigation purposes. The Santa Ana Valley Irrigation company and the Anaheim Union Water company are said to be in control of the major part of the river's flow, the former distributing water through the Santa Ana valley and the latter supplying the Fullerton, Placentia and Anaheim districts. Actiona to determine the rights of those using the waters and those who would like to use them have been heard in all of the courts of Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties, as well as in the federal courts, but no satisfactory result has been obtained. It is hoped that the action to be heard by Judge Conrey will end in an acceptable solution to the users of the water, which is of inestimable value. THE OLD MAN ATHLETE The notion that age is solely a matter of years dies hard. American medicine, for instance, which ought to know better, cautions us not to forget laws identical with the Cartwright bill are enforced today. And neither of these southern states are rated as progressive in spirit as is California since the last election. The boast has been made that the provisions of the Cartwright bill cannot be passed, or cannot even win a hearing sufficient to tear the whole subject wide open and make public revelations damaging to "legitimate" stock gambling. It is reported that the Cartwright provisions will be offered as an amendment to the Hewitt bill on floor of the senate. This would bring the question of stopping all bucketing squarely before the membership of the upper house.

THE ANTI-BUCKETING LAW Anti-Stock Gambling Fight Reveals That Crops are Sold Many Times Over on Paper Through Trading San Francisco, March 21.—Authorized statements from a score of the leading men of the legislature concerning the movement to outlaw gambling in "futures" and on "margins" of securities and commodities reveals some amazing facts about this branch of high finance. These interesting personal views of law-makers are now to be made public. The half-dozen "regular houses," which hoped to win for themselves a monopoly and satisfy public protest against stock gambling evils by securing the passage of the Hewitt bill (senate bill 901) which measure merely forbids persons who are not members of an exchange from gambling in futures and on margins and bucketing trades, while permitting ties, as well as in the federal courts, but no satisfactory result has been obtained. It is hoped that the action to be heard by Judge Conrey will end in an acceptable solution to the users of the water, which is of inestimable value. THE OLD MAN ATHLETE The notion that age is solely a matter of years dies hard. American medicine, for instance, which ought to know better, cautions us not to forget the fact that we were originally designed but for thirty-five or forty years of strenuosity that only a little while ago. "45 was extreme old age." And that after 40 or 45 which ends man's "allotted time of physical vigor," physical strains will irrevocably ruin the machinery. The increasing number of damaged hearts in the middle-aged men which the doctor is called upon to patch up, amply proves the necessity for this caution. No one will deny the existence of an occasional mature athletic fanatic who deserves some such rebuke, but the average citizen is far more in need of stimulus to physical exercise than cautions against its dangers. Look about among your grown-up acquaintances and note how few of them could be accused of excessive physical by even the most confirmed anti-exercisist. In fact, the likelihood is that for every man over 40 who is injuring his heart by unduly violent exertion there are a dozen or more hard at work developing a fat, flabby and inefficient organ by underexercise and overeating. Of course, the sensible man of 45 or 50 will try to strike a happy medium between the two extremes, but the average city man is certainly the victim of too little rather than too much exercise.

He referred to th IRRIGATION IN ARIZONA Progress of Water Users in Salt River Valley (Correspondence of The Gazette) Phoenix, A. T., March 17. Editor Gazette.—Land barons in Germany, England, and other countries of Europe will look very jealously at the future farmer that has holdings in some of the great projects reclaimed by Uncle Sam. The reclamation act of a few years ago gave permission to establish power-plants in combination with irrigation works. In some of the United States reclamation service schemes, notably the Salt River valley project, the power possibilities have been fully taken advantage of. The decision that water belongs to the land has settled former differences between companies owning canals, companies owning water rights, and landowners. Now it is one great company of farmers and owners, where each acre of land represents one share of the stock in a great concern to distribute not only water but that other great commodity "electricity." At a very low estimate, the revenue derived from each electrical horse power, will net $50 per year, and the development of 27,000 h.p. would mean a revenue of $1,350,000 annually. This amount distributed over 240,000 acres of land brings a return of over $5 to each acre, each year. When Colonel Roosevelt, on Saturday, March 18, dedicated the Roosevelt dam, 75 miles from Phoenix, he also officially approved of the great works, that are nearing completion, for the generation of a total of 27,000 hydro-electric horse power. The Salt River valley farmers have added ecy made in Palestine nineteen hundred and eleven years ago, that the birth of Jesus should bring peace and good will among men, and showed, that Peace and Brotherly Love were the objects which socialists, and especially christian socialists, were laboring to attain. He brought statistical facts to reinforce the evident, well-known ones, of every-day life, and to prove that this land, as much as European and Asiatic ones, is a land of classes. Privately owned machinery of production and distribution has brought this world embracing curse of classes, as we see it today, and only by the intelligent efforts of thinking, Christian spirited people in the streets, in the churches, in our homes, and lastly in legislative halls, can it be overcome, and replaced by the "public ownership of publicly used utilities." Mr. Weller is a young man of gentle manners, and with his whole heart given to the work that his age has spread before him, and before us all. May God grant that a portion of the spirit, that of old moved the Prophets of Isreal to denounce the evil, in order to install the good and the true, may find its way into our souls also, and make the labors of such preachers and priests, as this young man appears to be, the starting point of a genuine religious revival, in this sin, graft and corruption-filled earth. March 14, 1911. F. W. ORANGE COUNTY'S PRODUCTS Thirteen Million Dollars Taken from Ground Last Season The statistical report of Orange Fire Bug Goes Free Judge Considers Him Guilty—Insufficient Evidence to Convict Superior Judge West on Friday morning dismissed the case of arson against Adolph L. Schonek, alleged fire bug and anarchist, tried recently in this county on a transfer from San Diego. Schonek was as cool and calm, and seemingly cold-blooded, as he was throughout the two long trials to which he was subjected once at San Diego and once at Santa Ana both juries disagreeing. Dismissal occurred after Dist.Atty West read a telegram from Dist.Atty Utley of San Diego asking that the case be dismissed on the ground that the evidence was insufficient to convict, and because the defendant was tried twice. "The evidence is sufficient to convict," said the judge. "There never has been in this court a plainer case of absolute guilt than this case. It seems that courts have come to a time when jurors forgetting their duty, seek something in the way of doubt. No jury in any court has been more culpable in that respect than the jury in this case. It was only by the extreme ingenuity of the attorneys for the defence that the minds of some of the jurors were befuddled. "I entertain the motion to dismiss only on the ground that the defendant has been twice tried. I understand that the board of supervisors of San Diego county has asked their district attorney to drop this case because of the great expense. If the ends of justice are to be thwarted by reason of expense, then indeed is the safe- development of 27,000 h.p. would mean a revenue of $1,350,000 annually. This amount distributed over 240,000 acres of land brings a return of over $5 to each acre, each year. When Colonel Roosevelt, on Saturday, March 18, dedicated the Roosevelt dam, 75 miles from Phoenix, he also officially approved of the great works, that are nearing completion, for the generation of a total of 27,000 hydro-electric horse power. The Salt River valley farmers have added another product to their already very varied crops. From oranges and dates to alfalfa and cantaloupes they have a long list of growing things, nearly every semi-tropic fruit and vegetable can be listed. It is something of a feature to produce such a variety but they now include quotations on electricity with margins on kilowatts. To the title of "power-barons" that of roadmasters can be added. The 75 miles of scenic highway from Phoenix to the Roosevelt dam is all part of the great work, and the road itself, traversing some of the finest scenery on the American continent, is full of delights and pleasant surprises. For several years since the passage of the reclamation act, United States engineers have been persistently tolling and scheming to make the Salt River project the most complete irrigation system in existence. Every phase of reclamation has been looked after. Power possibilities have been developed to a fullness that will mean big returns to land owners in the near future. From the Roosevelt dam, footing the mountains near the "Four Peaks," to the roof garden of the Y.M.C.A. at Phoenix is a stride of 75 miles. The seven league boots of today, the fast automobiles, and splendid roads make the trip a matter of a few hours. The time is all too short, the journey being a continual panorama of mountain and mesa, cliff and canyon. The ending is in a great valley of delight, extending for miles and surrounded by hills which stand boldly with purple outline, contrasting the ultrablue Arizona sky. Faith in our form of government, and which is ever seeking new ways of adding to the wealth of the nation, is again justified. Changes in officials come, but the up-trend of our agricultural possibilities, stands clear and big, on the nation's balance sheet. Climatic conditions in the Salt River valley will permit exhaustive tests to be made in the further introduction of rare crops, and more diversified and intensive farming.

He has been sent to the asylum at Patton. Celaya is over 90 years of age. When a youth he came to this state from Mexico,and for years he was considered one of the best trailers and guides in Southern California. It is understood that at one time he was a guide for John C.Fremont.Celaya was well known to pioneers of this valley. Twenty years ago he had a season's wood-chopping done in Bell canyon when a mountain fire swept down upon him and destroyed his wood.The disaster worked upon the man's mind.Even yet he wakes up frequently and strikes out at imaginary flames.Several months ago Celaya was charged with insanity,but Theodore Lacy,the sheriff,and Edward Smithwick,the justice of the peace，agreed to keep their eyes out for the man.Several Spanish families tried to keep the old manbut they could not keep him from running away.The hardships of these wanderings were dangerous,and it was finally concluded that for the trasting the ultrablue Arizona sky. Faith in our form of government, and which is ever seeking new ways of adding to the wealth of the nation, is again justified. Changes in officials come, but the up-trend of our agricultural possibilities, stands clear and big, on the nation's balance sheet. Climatic conditions in the Salt River valley will permit exhaustive tests to be made in the further introduction of rare crops, and more diversified and intensive farming. Nature has co-operated in the work of the modern engineer. At the dam the strata in the rock walls of the canyon fits admirably to the mason work, making a monolithic mass that is a monument to the builders. Adjacent to the dam is splendid stone used in building the great wall. Nearby were found deposits of shale and other materials that go to make a fine cement. In the valley, the 240,000 acres of land under the project, lies unbroken and level, with a gradual slope sufficient only to make the most perfect of gravity irrigation systems. CHRISTIAN SOCIALISM Rev. Weller Gives Views at Recent Meeting Those of our citizens who were fortunate enough to hear the address of the Rev. W. H. Weller in Kroeger's hall last Sabbath, will probably long remember the occasion as one of rare intellectual significance. Mr. Weller is an unostentatious speaker, and relies upon a simple appeal to the honest and intellectual stability of his hearers, to bring them to the point of revolt against the embruting conditions of modern society. He referred to the angelic proph THE VALUE OF WALKING The man or woman who has cultivated the habit of the daily walk has minimized the chances of falling a victim to a good many different ills and those who have not yet gone into the habit cannot do better than begin straight away. Winter is a good time for walking; there is no dust or hot sun, both of which some times prove rather a drawback to one's enjoyment, and the cold, sharp air makes brisk movement a pleasure. When it is impossible to keep warm indoors, even with the help of a fire, you can do it easily enough out side, swinging steadily along, sometimes it may be without an overcoat, provided there is no wind. Every day a short walk should be taken, and the distance when feasible may be increased with advantage, tramps of ten miles or more are indulged in without undue fatigue. But this must be done gradually; the man who, after sitting for months at his desk and neglecting exercise almost entirely, suddenly sets out on a twenty mile tramp, will be only upset and put out of gear. Begin with a short distance, and above all keep the practice up regularly, and you will soon feel a different being; your liver will work like a clock, the blood will be purified and will course gently through every vein, while the busy brain will feel as if swept clear of cobwebs, and invigorated to perform the daily task without fatigue. Within bounds, it is counseled to walk in all weathers, even in the rain; it will do you good, and the habit of going out wet or shine will make you far less susceptible to ordinary colds. FRUIT BUYER GOES BROKE E. L. Gilman, independent fruit buyer and packer, who this season ran the Spencer packing house at Orange under lease, has filed a petition in bankruptcy in the United States district court in Los Angeles. Gilman states in the petition that he is indebted to various ranchers to the amount of $8709.26, and that he has property valued at only $2992.86. The petition in bankruptcy serves to void an attachment suit filed in the superior court of this county by J. A. Irvin against Gilman.
