EXTENSION OF JAIL CONSIDERED BY BOARD COMMITTEE APPOINTED TO DRAFT PLANS AND ESTIMATE COST The Map of Dr. Janse' Proposed Sub-Division East of the High School Adopted—The New South Street Tract Held Up for Investigation of Bondsmen—Five Building Permits Granted—Judge Howard Reports 35 Cases in Police Court—Other Notes The necessity for more jail room was again discussed by the city trustees on Thursday evening, and it was decided that something must be done immediately to relieve the over-crowded condition of the city basement. Marshal Kellenberger stated that he sometimes had as many as ten prisoners in his small pigeonholes and the situation is growing worse on the approach of winter. Hoboes and other undesirable visitors are getting more numerous and some of them are trying to break into jail in order to secure food and shelter. He cited an instance a day or two previously where a hobo who had asked to be arrested and was refused, seized two lap robes from an automobile and made off with them. He secured sixty days' free board. It was decided to build a concrete addition in the rear of the city hall, and a committee consisting of Trustee Gates, City Engineer Steward and Marshal Kellenberger was appointed.

He cited an instance a day or two previously where a hobo who had asked to be arrested and was refused, seized two lap robes from an automobile and made off with them. He secured sixty days' free board. It was decided to build a concrete addition in the rear of the city hall, and a committee consisting of Trustee Gates, City Engineer Steward and Marshal Kellenberger was appointed to draw up the plans and estimate the cost. The following building permits were petitioned for and granted: To Oscar Renner, frame building in rear on South Los Angeles street. Cost $200. To J. W. Sackett, frame dwelling on the county road. Cost $1000. To Carl Kohlenberger, frame building in rear on Adele street. To J. Henry, frame building on East Center street. Cost $75. To Fred Hinemann, frame residence on Chestnut street. Cost $1000. The petitions of Mrs. Grimshaw to move building on Santa Ana street, and Thos. W. Jackson to move building from corner of Olive and Baltimore streets, were granted. A preliminary map of the sub-division petitioned for by Dr. Janss on West Center street was again presented by Engineer Steward, and the Doctor was present and addressed the board. Trustee Stark, who was appointed at the previous meeting to confer with the Catholic authorities relative to extending Chartres street through their property, reported that there was little hope of securing right of way without resorting to condemnation proceedings. The matter will be presented to Father Dubble and through him passed up to the bishop of the diocese, and a mutual agreement may possibly be reached. Dr. Janss' petition was granted and efforts to secure right of way for the extension of Chartres street will begin immediately. The League of Municipal Corporations which recently held its annual session at Santa Barbara, is having the proceedings of the convention printed in book form, and a communication was received from the secretary asking how many copies the board would subscribe for at one dollar per copy. On motion of Nebelung the clerk was instructed to order three copies—one each for the clerk; the attorney and the engineer. Trustee Stark reported that there is still a slight hitch in the proceeding the alley south of Summary General fund ... $16,576.28 Sewer Construction fund ... 47,243.59 Electric Light fund ... 8,134.54 1910 Bond fund ... 1,269.66 Library fund ... 30.00 Improvement fund No. 2... 126.00 Improvement fund No. 6... 10 Improvement fund No. 7... 56.25 Total in treasury ... $73,436.42 PANAMA CANAL—1913 Col. Goethals Believes Big Waterway Ready Then for Operation George W. Goethals, chairman and chief engineer of the Isthmian canal commission, has submitted the annual report of the canal commission to Secretary of War Henry L. Stilson. According to Colonel Goethals the work is rapidly approaching completion, and although the original date for the opening of the canal was set for January 1, 1915, it is believed now by the chief engineer in charge that the canal will be ready for operation on June 15, 1913. The time pledged for completion of the three great dams, according to Col. Goethals, is as follows: At Gatun, August 15, 1912; at Pedro Miguel, January 15, 1913; at Miraflores, the last one, June 15, 1913. An electrical system will be used for the operation of the canal after completion. Contract for construction of the three big dams has been given for $2,238,998. Colonel Goethals declares that inasmuch as the canal will be ready for operation on June 15, 1913, the need of legislation looking toward the fixing of tolls is urgent. MILES OF ICE Precooling Plant Has Ever So Much Of It They measure ice by the mile at the giant San Bernardino ice and precooling plant, which supplies the thousands of cars of fruit with refrigeration that move east on the Santa Fe every year. The plant is now running night and day, piling up a huge mountain of ice that will soon begin to move. T. A. Mcginnis, general manager of the plant, estimated one day last week that he had about 100 miles of ice on hand, and it is only a third of the supply that will be needed next spring and summer. There are now 20,000 tons of ice stored in storage rooms. It takes seven takes three and a half feet long, two feet wide and one foot in thickness, to make a ton, and there POINTED PARAGRAPH The only way to feel believe that way.

D.JONES'LOCKER PRESS New Theories About Dressmaking Ship Guess Washington, Nov. 8.-the wreck of the Maine ed out to sea and buried will be hacked to pieces on barges and dumped General Bixby, chief engineers, in charge of tangled wreck from Haiti has decided upon this Trustee Stark reported that there is still a slight hitch in the proceedings of opening the alley south of Center street. Right of way has been secured but the barn of Carl Martin, which laps over into the alley nine feet has not been removed. Martin thinks he has been double-crossed, as certain property owners on the alley agreed to remove the barn without cost to him in exchange for his right of way. As the agreement was only verbal they now want the trustees to pay the expense. On motion of Stock the street superintendent was instructed to notify Martin to remove the barn within 30 days. A map of the South street tract, recently platted by W. E. Jones, was presented, accompanied by a bond for $3000, signed by E. B. Jones and L. A. Caldwell. The tract extends along South street, from Los Angeles to Olive. As the sureties are unknown to the trustees the map was held up until the city attorney can verify the reliability of the sureties. Marshal Kellenberger requested the board to purchase a five-gallon can of germicide for use in the jail. His request was granted. Trustee Stock was given permission to lay six hundred feet of curbing in front of his property, and the city engineer instructed to establish a grade. Judge Howard reported 35 cases in police court during the month. Fines to the amount of $78.70 were collected. Following are the reports of the marshal and treasurer: ANAHEIM GAZETTE 10—that is, the cities and incorporated town of 2500 inhabitants or more—contained 1,469,739 inhabitants, or 61.8 per cent of the total population, while 907,810 inhabitants, or 38.8 per cent lived in rural territory. SECULAR SEQUENCE WHEN FIGURES USED Saturday, Nov. 11, represented a day whose date, when written in the time-saving method of the business world, was a sequence of repeating figures—11-11-11. Have you ever thought what a peculiar combination of figures this is? It is a coincidence that is rare. Such combinations presenting the month, the day therein, and the year, happen but three times each century. Last year on October 10 this repetition existed. Next year, on December 12, we may write again the peculiar coincidental group, only this time with 12-12-12. This will be the third and last time that such a sequence may be written in this century. Not for nine-eight years will such a thing occur. This will be on October 10, 2010, as the figures 10 will return and occupy its triple position in the business world.

Ever notice how easy it is for a man to get married who isn't able to support a wife? Too many children hate to see their parents spend their hard earnnings; and 4,800,000 tons of Epsom salts. In spite of all this dissolved material the Colorado at its mouth is not considered to be a stream of unusually high mineralization for that region of the country. The reason is that the river also carries so enormous an amount of water that the dissolved salts constitute a comparatively small proportion of the total discharge. Other streams in the country contain dissolved salts in a greater concentration—for example, the Elm Fork of Red River, in Oklahoma, discharges nearly 1,300,000 tons of common salt annually. Although this amount is not so great as that discharged by the Colorado it is much greater in proportion to the size of the area drained. The discharge of salt from the Colorado is equal to 20 tons annually to each square mile drained by the river, but the salt in Elm Fork of Red river is equal to 1680 tons per square mile of area drained. The same river discharges annually 177,000 tons of magnesium chloride, 168,000 tons of Epsom salts, 690,000 tons of gypsum, and 54,000 tons of lime. These quantities, too, are considerably greater than those carried in the Colorado in proportion to the size of the drainage area. Belle Fourche River, at Belle Fourche, S. Dak., discharges 191,000 tons of gypsum, 79,000 tons of Glauer's salts, and 236,000 tons of Epsom salts. The mud and silt carried in suspension by this river amount to 1,100,000 tons. Milk river at Havre, Mont., discharges annually 41,000 tons of soda; Payette river, in Idaho, discharges 46,000 tons; Salt river at Roosevelt, Ariz., discharges 288,000 tons of salt and 170,000 tons of Epiphytes or should be practiced. It will also show the irrigated areas, the water resources of importance in irrigation, and all of the co-operative and company canals. The field work of this investigation has already begun and the north-eastern counties of the state are covered. From eight to ten men will be engaged on the investigation during the winter, and it is expected that it will be completed by April. In the meantime progress reports will be issued stating the conditions and before the next meeting of the legislature it is expected that a bulletin carrying the results of the entire inquiry will be issued by the department of agriculture at Washington. The work is being directed from the California headquarters of irrigation investigations, at Berkeley. ERADICATING TEXAS TICK State Veterinarian Sends Communication to Supervisors State Veterinarian Charles Keane has sent the usual annual notice to the board of supervisors to eradicate the Texas fever tick. The notice is merely formal and does not mean that the county is expected to do anything more than it is doing, which is that the county veterinarian, Dr. W. S. McFarlane, is working with the federal and state veterinarians in carrying on the fight against the tick and which fight has already proven a long one. The following letter accompanying the notice gives the reason for the notice: "The enclosed letter is sent to you from this office for the purpose of complying with the provisions of the law which make it necessary for the state veterinarian to notify you that POINTED PARAGRAPHS The only way to feel good is to believe that way.

JONES' LOCKER FOR MAINE New Theories About Destruction of Ship Guess Work Washington, Nov. 8.—The stern of the wreck of the Maine will be floated out to sea and buried. The bow will be hacked to pieces, hauled out on barges and dumped into the sea. General Bixby, chief of the army engineers, in charge of removing the tangled wreck from Havana harbor, has decided upon this course. Belle Fourche River, at Belle Fourche, S. Dak., discharges 191,000 tons of gypsum, 79,000 tons of Glauber's salts, and 236,000 tons of Epsom salts. The mud and silt carried in suspension by this river amount to 1,100,000 tons. Milk river at Havre, Mont., discharges annually 41,000 tons of soda; Payette river, in Idaho, discharges 46,000 tons; Salt river at Roosevelt, Ariz., discharges 288,000 tons of salt and 170,000 tons of Epsom salts; and the Rio Grande discharges 245,000 tons of lime and 368,000 tons of Glauber's salts. The foregoing are a few of the figures of insidental interest presented by Water-Supply Paper 274 of the United States geological survey, entitled "Some stream waters of the western United States." The work reported by this volume is, however, of higher practical importance than the above statement would indicate. It is the result of an investigation of the quality of western stream waters made for the purpose of determining their availability for use for irrigation and other purposes. For a water-supply system the quality of the water available determines its usefulness quite as much as the quantity. Some waters contain ingredients that make it impossible to use them for irrigation unless certain precautions are taken in applying them to the land and in draining them off. Certain ingredients in water make it unavailable or destructive if used in boilers and the quality of water used in a manufacturing plant may very largely determine the quality of the product of manufacture. The report just published therefore can not fail to be of material value to the manufacturing and agricultural interests of the west; and the proper consideration of the information that it contains will prevent many costly mistakes in connection with the industrial development of that part of the country. A copy of this report may be obtained free on application to the director of the United States geological survey, Washington, D.C. IRRIGATION RESOURCES Their Present and Future Development in California The mapping of the irrigable agricultural areas of California and the preparation of a report showing the present and possible future irrigation development in the state is the task turned over to the Irrigation Investigations of the United States department of agriculture by the state con- anything more than it is doing which is that the county veterinarian, Dr. W. S. McFarlane, is working with the federal and state veterinarians in carrying on the fight against the tick and which fight has already proven a long one. The following letter accompanying the notice gives the reason for the notice: "The enclosed letter is sent to you from this office for the purpose of complying with the provisions of the law which make it necessary for the state veterinarian to notify you that an infectious disease among cattle exists in your county. "In order to prosecute an offender if our state quarantine regulations are infringed, it is necessary for the state to show we have officially notified your honorable body of the existence of disease and the necessity of measures to eradicate same. "These letters in no wise reflect upon the work which is being performed by your county live-stock inspector." The official notice after naming the statute says: "I wish to notify you that certain cattle in Orange county are infested with cattle ticks, and are liable to communicate the disease known as Texas fever to other cattle not so infested, if measures are not taken by your honorable body so quarantine such infested cattle and eradicate such infestation." In Orange county the man who has actually been in charge of the long campaign against the tick is Dr. Coleman, a federal veterinarian, a very capable and energetic man. The greatest difficulty in eradicating the tick in this county has been with the big O'Nell ranches. The pastures were so large that it was difficult to get the cattle all together for dipping them in the arsenical fluid that is used to kill the pest. The ranch has co-operated with the authorities, and the prospects now are that the tick is approaching eradication in this county. The O'Nell cattle were all driven south o'the San Juan hot springs canyon, and were kept there for a period of months. In that time there were no cattle north of the dividing fence. According to the veterinarian the ticks that were dropped on the ground by the cattle while in the north pastures were dead for want of stock upon which to feed. The pastures on the north were then clean, and ready to receive clean cattle. The transfer of cattle from the south pastures to the north pastures had been completed, with the exception of perhaps a few strays that will soon be rounded up D. JONES' LOCKER FOR MAINE New Theories About Destruction of Ship Guess Work Washington, Nov. 8.—The stern of the wreck of the Maine will be floated out to sea and buried. The bow will be hacked to pieces, hauled out on barges and dumped into the sea. General Bixby, chief of the army engineers, in charge of removing the tangled wreck from Havana harbor, has decided upon this course. The aft section of the wreck is uncovered and is in excellent condition. The bow of the ship, where the explosion occurred, is a tangled wreck of boilers and girders, and will not be completely uncovered for at least three months, probably longer, the time depending on whether or not congress appropriates $250,000 for the work next month. "In about three weeks we will start to rip the stern section free from the bow," General Bixby said. "We have enough money out of the last appropriation to sever the wreck into two portions, but we have not enough to remove the coffer dam and tow the stern out to sea. "A great part of the bow is covered with mud, and we will not know just how to handle that portion until we have removed the mud. It is a slow, tedious job." WHAT OUR RIVERS CARRY Enormous Loads of Sediments and Dissolved Chemicals—Importance of Water Investigations Colorado River discharges during an average year into the Gulf of California 338,000,000 tons of mud and silt as suspended matter. In addition to this the dissolved substances in the water include 4,550,000 tons of sodium chloride, or common salt; 3,740,000 tons of Glauber's salts; 4,000,000 tons of lime; 2,400,000 tons of geological survey, Washington, D.C. IRRIGATION RESOURCES Their Present and Future Development in California The mapping of the irrigable agricultural areas of California and the preparation of a report showing the present and possible future irrigation development in the state is the task turned over to the Irrigation Investigations of the United States department of agriculture by the state conservation commission of California, of which former Governor Pardee is the chairman, and Francis Cuttle and J. P. Baumgartner are the other members. Ten thousand dollars has been set aside by the conservation commission for this work under co-operative agreement with the director of the office of experiment stations and the secretary of agriculture. According to this agreement, not only is the department of agriculture conducting the investigation and supplying part of the immediate funds needed, but it is also placing at the disposal of the conservation commission for the purpose of this report the results of the irrigation census in California recently completed at a large cost under co-operative agreement between the department of agriculture and the bureau of the census. All of the data gathered in California along irrigation lines during the past eleven years under authority of the secretary of agriculture and in co-operation with the state of California also will be drawn upon. While the irrigation map being made is not to be based on precise surveys made during the present year it will follow careful field investigations into the irrigable agricultural areas of every valley of any importance in the state. The map will be prepared on a large scale and will show the irrigable agricultural areas in every part of the state where irrigation resources are present and future development in California. The pastures on the north were then clean, and ready to receive clean cattle. The transfer of cattle from the south pastures to the north pastures had been completed, with the exception of perhaps a few strays that will soon be rounded up by the riders. Each animal was run through the arsenical bath in the dip at Mission Viejo before being allowed to go on to clean territory. All of this shows that everything that can be done to kill off the Texas fever tick is being done, and further proves that the notice from the state veterinarian is a mere formality needed in order to put the state in position for prosecutions should any become necessary. Patient—I hear they're saying that Jones, the man you've been treating for liver complaint, has died of heart trouble. Doctor—(Acidly)—When I treat a man for liver trouble he dies of liver trouble. NATURE'S SUN DIAL There is no need for clocks on the Aegean sea any day when the sun is shining. There nature has arranged her only timepiece, one that does not vary though the centuries pass. This natural time marker is the largest sun dial in the world. Projecting into the blue water of the sea is a large promontory which lifts its head 3000 feet above the waves. As the sun swings round the pointed shadow of the mountain just touches one after the other a number of small islands, which are at exact distances apart and act as hour marks on the great dial.
