STILL UNDECIDED ABOUT THE DYNAMO TRUSTEES WILL CONSIDER MATTER AT SPECIAL MEETING Associated Oil Company Given Contract for Crude Oil—Santa Fe Railroad Refuses to Modify Its Sewer Deed—Sanitarium Given Permit for $16,500 Addition—A. L. Lewis Grant ed Increase of Salary Beginning on Oct. 1st—Other Notes of Meeting The question of purchasing a new dynamo for the powerhouse was again laid over by the city trustees on Thursday evening for consideration at a special meeting to be called at the option of President Rust. At the meeting of the board on May 11th eight firms submitted bids on thirty-four engines, ranging in price from $6327 to $9870. The bids and specifications were turned over to Manager Lewis with instructions to make a selection from the list and submit his recommendation to the board. Representatives of two of the competing firms were present at Thursday's meeting and filed protests against the acceptance of Mr. Lewis' recommendation, each claiming that if granted time he could prove the superiority of his engine. "My firm," declared one of the men, "will sign a contract written by your city attorney to accept payment for our engine out of the surplus saved in operating expenses in competition with any other machine on the market." On motion of Stark the matter was held up for further investigation, and to permit the competing firms to prove their claims. Mr. Lewis advised that the board act quickly in making its selection as it required time to install a dynamo and business was increasing so rapidly at the power house that it would soon be needed. BASIS OF OUR PROSPERITY Irrigation, the Measure of State's Agricultural Growth California is now undergoing the most rapid agricultural growth in her history. The dream of those who have seen all of the broad acres of the great valley yielding back to Nature full annual recompense for the rich endowment of soil and water and sunshine she has showered on this favored land is coming true. And the significant fact about all this growth is that, in the aggregate, irrigation is both its basis and its measure. One does not fall to note the magnificent agricultural increase in the southern part of the state during the past decade has also been due to irrigation. To imply, however, that California is now experiencing a great agricultural awakening due to irrigation does not mean; writes Frank Adams, in charge of irrigation investigations in California, in the annual report of the state agricultural society, that rapid growth was not made and that wonderful things were not accomplished during the first half-century of the State's occupancy by Americans. No amount of pen picture writing could minimize the achievements of California farmers or discolor the romance of California agriculture prior to 1900. Progress blazed its way to accomplishments that commanded the respect and admiration of people everywhere. Irrigation in the south made a garden of a desert. To the extent that it was absolutely necessary in the north, it accomplished the same result in a less degree, and where it was not absolutely necessary the grainfields and orchards and the vineyards in many cases made their owners wealthy. But within 10 years the northern farmers and landowners have come to understand that "sky farming" is not the best farming, even in northern California, and that the best success in agriculture can only come with the small intensely cultivated and irrigated farm. In the first place, because irriga- declared one of the men, "will sign a contract written by your city attorney to accept payment for our engine out of the surplus saved in operating expenses in competition with any other machine on the market." On motion of Stark the matter was held up for further investigation, and to permit the competing firms to prove their claims. Mr. Lewis advised that the board act quickly in making its selection as it required time to install a dynamo and business was increasing so rapidly at the power house that it would soon be needed. Sealed bids for the delivery of 1,500 barrels of crude oil for road purposes were opened and read, as follows: U. S. Oil Co. f.o.b. Los Angeles, 79 cents. Associated Oil Co., f.o.b. Los Angeles, 76 cents. Associated Oil Co., f.o.b. Anaheim 86 cents. The bid of the Associated Oil Co. was accepted, the oil to be delivered f.o.b. Los Angeles. In response to a notification some weeks ago to grade its track on Olive street a communication was received from the Southern Pacific Co. to the effect that the road was living up to its franchise inasmuch as it is only required to fill in to the end of the ties. The letter stated, however, that the road would not object to contributing four or five cars of gravel for filling purposes. Superintendent Kellenberger said the franchise also required the road to run its rails on a level with the grade established by the city. That portion of Olive street has not yet been graded but the city engineer reported that the crossings above and below this section of street had been graded and he could easily learn whether or not the track corresponded to the grade. The matter was referred to Mr. Steward for future report. The Santa Fe railroad also occupied the attention of the board for some time as City Attorney Ames reported an answer to his request for a modification of the deed for sewer rights under the depot. The objective clause gives the road the privilege of ordering the sewer taken out at any time at the will of the officials. The general superintendent, to whom the matter was referred, declined to alter the revocable clause, and the trustees were compelled to accept the deed as presented. Building permits were solicited and granted as follows: To Anaheim Sanitarium Company, a tiled veneered building for use as a sanitarium on Hermine street,cost $16,500. To D. J. Farwell, frame dwelling on fresh street,cost $800. To H. J. Westerman, frame building on North Olive street,cost $120. To J. S. Howard, addition for garage on South Los Angeles street,cost $100. The application of A. L. Lewis for an increase in salary to $150 per month caused a lengthy discussion, Gates and Stark opposing action at present owing to the low condition made a garden of a desert. To the extent that it was absolutely necessary in the north, it accomplished the same result in a less degree, and where it was not absolutely necessary the grainfields and orchards and the vineyards in many cases made their owners wealthy. But within 10 years the northern farmers and landowners have come to understand that "sky farming" is not the best farming, even in northern California, and that the best success in agriculture can only come with the small intensely cultivated and irrigated farm. In the first place, because irrigation farming in California is as a rule very profitable, it must not be supposed that every irrigated farm in California pays. Irrigated farms in California are not unlike irrigated farms in other places. The irrigation farmer who is not both a good agriculturist and a good business man, who tries to work poor or water-logged land, to grow profitably unprofitable crops, or fails to use water economically, and in the quantity and the manner and at the time needed, is as apt to fail as would be a poor farmer on unirrigated land. In other words, irrigation is not a magical wand whose mere touch makes all land and all crops blossom into a bountiful harvest. It is but one of the many important agencies at the command of him who would make the best success out of farming, and the irrigation must be practiced both carefully and intelligently. For the man or woman of moderate means it has long been conceded that the ideal crop with which to set up irrigation farming in the west is alfalfa, and with this crop irrigation usually means everything. Exceptions to this are found only on river bottoms and where the ground water level is high enough to carry moisture to the alfalfa roots by capillarity. How much money return a farmer can get from irrigated alfalfa depends on the length of the growing season, of course assuming favorable soil and water conditions. In the northeastern counties of California where the season is comparatively short it is usual to expect one good crop of about two tons per acre and pasture on the unirrigated bottom lands and two good crops and pasture when the land is watered. On the experimental irrigation plat maintained on the University farm at Davis under cooperative agreement between the Office of Experiment Stations and the University of California, six cuttings were taken from the land in 1900, yielding from 4.08 to 8.45 tons per acre, depending upon the amount of water received by irrigation. Irrigated alfalfa fed to dairy cows in Stanislaus county in 1910 raised that county from fourth to first in the list of dairy producing counties in California. In 1910, the second year after planting, a progressive farmer of Porterville harvested 950 tons of alfalfa from 145 acres of land, making the average yield substantially 6.5 tons per acre. At Pomona all alfalfa grown is irrigated with water pumped from depths of 30 to 100 feet and yields six or seven cuttings of plantation stations. The Oment Stations of the Agriculture, for instance issued a bulletin containing information for beginning irrigation, and a series of articles regarding irrigation of irrigated crops, all of en freely; also, specifically dressed to the Department or the state expereare always answered to city of those receiving cost of an irrigated farm mount needed to bring point of supporting this cost, by the way, is quite less than the cost of an farm in some sections are, however, not always clear. In the first place, in his land, which in its cost from nothing to $ must be secure in any right. On the irrigation Reclamation Service right is paid for in ten installments, and then taken up under the legal laws or purchased from ers. The installment plan is also frequently adopted projects, but the waters with the land.

Even more than the cost of a waiver ever, an intending set iffy himself by thereion that the water rier is clear and certain city of water he providethe needs of crops are plied,and finally,the financially responsible ble of living up to thie makes. If these ma looked,i irrigation by may prove disastrous.

Howard, addition for garage on South Los Angeles street, cost $100. The application of A. L. Lewis for an increase in salary to $150 per month caused a lengthy discussion, Gates and Stark opposing action at present owing to the low condition of the treasury. Gates' motion to lay the matter over for future consideration was voted down, Rust, Nebelung and Stock voting against it and Gates and Stark yes. Nebelung then moved that Mr. Lewis' salary be increased to $150 per month, the increase to begin Oct. 1st. It carried by the same vote as above. The Anaheim Union Water Company reported its willingness to lay a pipe line from a connection on Cypress street, along Sabina, to connect with its pipe at Olive street. The city attorney was instructed to draw up a resolution covering the matter. The bid of Charles Doussart of $10 for a pile of second hand lumber at the old power house was rejected as the city has use for it. Ordinance No. 232, ordering the opening and extending of South Lemon street, was read the second time and adopted. This is one of the measures Judge Shanley has been trying to get through for a number of years. A map of the new Eyman sub-division was presented to the board by Engineer Steward and accepted. Mr. Steward asked permission to build a filing case for the storage of the valuable maps and specifications being accumulated by the city, which are now enclosed in tubes and stowed away in inconvenient places. On motion of Stock the request was granted. At the request of Superintendent of Streets Kellenberger the city clerk was instructed to publish a notice notifying all property owners to cut the weeds in the gutters and streets and trim their shade trees. Ten days notice will be given. 1900, yielding from 4.08 to 8.45 tons per acre, depending upon the amount of water received by irrigation. Irrigated alfalfa fed to dairy cows in Stanislaus county in 1910 raised that county from fourth to first in the list of dairy producing counties in California. In 1910, the second year after planting, a progressive farmer of Porterville harvested 950 tons of alfalfa from 145 acres of land, making the average yield substantially 6.5 tons per acre. At Pomona all alfalfa grown is irrigated with water pumped from depths of 30 to 100 feet and yields six or seven cuttings of from 1 to 1 1-2 tons each per acre a year. In Imperial Valley irrigated alfalfa yields eight or nine cuttings of a ton to the cutting each year per acre. The above are fair statements of what irrigation means to the alfalfa farmer in typical parts of the state. But while irrigated alfalfa is always a safe crop, whether sold as hay as beef, as alfalfa seed, or as butter fat, alfalfa farming will not satisfy everybody as a permanent occupation. Fortunately, the range of crops, whose profitable production proper irrigation makes certain in California is almost unlimited. While nearly all of these crops are profitably grown in one section or another of the State without irrigation, although few of them are so grown south of Tehachapi, the assurance the irrigation farmer has that the summer drought will not leave him without a harvest and the greater productiveness and diversity irrigation makes possible give to irrigation farming a stability that is exceeded in no other industry. Up to 1898 practically no orchards were irrigated in the Santa Clara valley. In 1900 Imperial Valley was an uninhabited desert. Today, due to irrigation, it is doing some of the biggest agricultural things in the west. In the immediate vicinity of Pomona 250 pumping plants, some of them lifting water 400 feet, are in almost continuous operation many months each year supplying water from the various clenagas for the irrigation of orchards and alfalfa fields at an average annual cost of about $18; yet what irrigation means to the people about Pomona, as measured by the expense to which they will go to get PLACENTIA PROCESS Contest Over Estate shire Promises to A bitter legal contender position of a $25,000 equity in the suit brought by McDonald, through his P.

ANAHEIM GAZETTE it is but what it means to thousands of others at Redlands, Riverside, San Diego, San Fernando, and the other attractive communities of the south. Even now the city of Los Angeles is preparing to supply water from its twenty-five million dollar Owens river aqueduct to 135,000 acres of land contiguous to the city, charging some such bonus as $50 per acre for the right to receive the water and $10 per acre per annum, which is considered to be lower than the present prevailing rate, for its use. There is no occasion, however, for multiplying examples of what irrigation means to the California farmer. The story is really as old as irrigation itself in this State, and has been told and retold almost each succeeding year. It may be interesting, however, to conclude with a brief statement of what an irrigated farm in California costs. For the intending settler, unfamiliar with irrigation, it may be in place to say that while irrigation farming is not sufficiently different from other farming to require any extraordinary skill or means, failure sometimes results from both lack of acquaintance with irrigation practice and the lack of means to apply to the knowledge possessed. To the settler anxious to learn, ample information as to the best way to proceed in the settlement of an irrigated farm is available in the experience of irrigators already on the ground, and in the practical bulletins of the United States Department of Agriculture and of the different state agricultural experiment stations. The Office of Experiment Stations of the Department of Agriculture, for instance, has already issued a bulletin containing practical information for beginners in irrigation, and a series of manuals covering the irrigation of the chief staple irrigated crops, all of which are given freely; also, specific inquiries addressed to the Department of Agriculture or the state experiment stations are always answered to the best ability of those receiving them.

FOUR DAYS OF PAGENTRY San Diego Preparing Day and Night Celebration SAN DIEGO, Cal., May 29.—After months of toil and planning, of committee meetings and plodding labor, the ground breaking ceremonies preliminary to the work of construction of the Panama-California Exposition are now practically arranged so far as a program of events is concerned. There will be four days and nights of pageantry and carnival interspersed with various establishment projects such as only San Diego can offer and make possible. On the morning of the opening day, July 19, religious services will be held in Balboa Park during which a pontifical high mass will be said by Bishop Conaty at an immense floral altar which is to be a replica of the famous altar in the church of San Francisco, Mexico City. The formal exercises of the celebration open in the afternoon when ground will be broken by the directors of the Panama-California Exposition in the presence of a host of distinguished guests from all parts of this state and nation. In the evening of that day there will be a big display of fireworks on the bay and the reception throughout the city of ment stations. The Office of Experiment Stations of the Department of Agriculture, for instance, has already issued a bulletin containing practical information for beginners in irrigation, and a series of manuals covering the irrigation of the chief staple irrigated crops, all of which are given freely; also, specific inquiries addressed to the Department of Agriculture or the state experiment stations are always answered to the best ability of those receiving them. The cost of an irrigated farm and the amount needed to bring it to the point of supporting the farmer, which cost, by the way, is quite apt to be less than the cost of an irrigated farm in some sections of the east, are, however, not always made duly clear. In the first place, in addition to his land, which in its raw state may cost from nothing to $150, the settler must be secure in an ample water right. On the irrigation projects of the Reclamation Service, the water right is paid for in ten equal annual installments, and the land is either taken up under the government land laws or purchased from private holders. The installment plan of payment is also frequently adopted on private projects, but the water is usually sold with the land. In irrigation districts the water is part of the land and can not be sold separately. In the cooperative or mutual irrigation associations, which predominate in the south particularly, a share of stock in the water company carries a pro rata share of the water carried. Water aside from land costs from $10 in some sections of the north, where water is used chiefly for alfalfa or for grain, to $200 an acre in the orange and lemon orchards of Riverside, Orange and San Diego, with annual maintenance and operation charges to be added, in some cases whether water is used or not. Land with water costs from a minimum of about $40 per acre in some of the mountain valleys to a usual maximum of about $250; depending both on the location and the cost of providing the water supply. Good land at $100 to $125 an acre, with a safe water right and under a well managed system, is perhaps a fair average for the irrigated lands being placed on the market in the interior valleys, although some of the land is being sold at double that figure. Even more important than the cost of a water right, however, an intending settler should satisfy himself by thorough investigation that the water right of the seller is clear and certain, that the quantity of water he provides is ample for the needs of crops and can be supplied, and finally, that the seller is financially responsible for and capable of living up to the contract he makes. If these matters are overlooked, irrigation by the newcomer may prove disastrous.

Devonshire, deceased, an aged woman who committed suicide while insane at her home in Placentia a year ago. MacDonald is a grandson of Mrs. Devonshire and the property is alleged to have been held in trust for him, an agreement and deed to that effect having been given Mrs. Devonshire by her husband, Thomas Devonshire, before his death. This trust deed and other papers were on deposit in a Fullerton bank, and it is alleged that Mrs. Devonshire shortly before her death secured possession of them and destroyed them. Markel and Mrs. Arper are children of Mrs. Devonshire, and they are claiming the estate as the natural heirs, and the fight promises to be bitter, as they either get about $8000 each or nothing at all. Answer to the amended complaint has been filed in the superior court and everything seems now ready for the case to go to trial. The property involved is an orange grove in Placentia. Attorney Harry L. Dearing of Los Angeles has filed notice with the county clerk to dismiss the action of Patricio Yriarte against Jacob Stern, the suit being brought asking judgment annuling an oil and water lease at La Habra.

The probable source of underground waters has been widely discussed, and while every one would doubtless agree that by far the greater part is derived from rainfall, there is considerable variation of opinion as to the relative importance of the other sources, such as seepage or absorption of water from the ocean, or the release of otherwise unavailable waters in the earth's crust which have been set free by physical or chemical exclusion. Bulletin 319 of the United States Geological Survey, entitled "Summary of the Controlling Factors of the Artesian Flows," by Myron L. Fuller, discusses the subject of the theory and behavior of artesian wells. A copy may be obtained on application to the Director of the Survey at Washington. HIGH SCHOOL BUNGALOWS Six bungalows, each a schoolhouse, are to be built by the Fullerton union high school. Plans for the buildings were recorded this week. The buildings are to be used as class rooms until the district erects a new high school building to take the place of the one that burned several months ago. Each bungalow is 32 by 24 feet, and is all one room. The district will furnish the lumber, and has contracted with the James Shultz Lumber Co. for it at $1809. I. H. Dysinger has the building contract for the six bungalows at $2431.78 for the half dozen. Thursday, June 1 YOUNG MANA BANK ACCOUNT WILL GIVE YOU CONFIDENCE ON YOUR WEDDING DAY= START NOW.
