BECKER APPOINTED PLUMBING INSPECTOR FORMER CITY TRUSTEE LANDS THE NEW POSITION Will Have Official Control Over All Plumbing, Draining, Sewer Connections, Etc.—Gets His Pay Through the Fee System—Marshal Reports New Hitching Ground Must Be Secured as Building Will Probably be Erected on Present Site—Reports The newly-created municipal office of plumbing inspector, made necessary by the establishment of the sewer system, was filled at Thursday night's meeting of the Board of City Trustees by the appointment of C. L. Becker to the responsible position. The duties of the inspector were defined in a recent ordinance. All house plumbing, all repairs, and all sewer connections must pass under his official and critical eye, and the workmanship must be acceptable and the material in accordance with an established standard before receiving his O.K. The inspector shall be compensated for his labor by a system of fees, also provided for in the ordinance, but the job will probably be a remunerative one as three good men were applicants for appointment—R. H. Seale, Henry Armbruste and Becker. Mr. Becker is at present a non-resident, his ranch being beyond the city limits, but that will not interfere with the faithful discharge of his duties. Only two applicants for building BOARD OF SUPERVISORS Water Company Granted Franchise for Oil Pipeline The Board of Supervisors granted the application of the Anaheim Union Water Company for a franchise for an oil pipeline on Orangethorpe avenue, near Fullerton. The franchise is now to be advertised for sale. Attorney Keech for the company stated he would bid enough to cover all the county's expenses. The juvenile court committee was given permission to buy a cow and two dozen chickens for the detention home. Fred Mallet, A. B. Crane and County Surveyor McBride were appointed viewers of the B. A. Farrar road in the Newhope road district; R. W. Jones, Wade Flippen and McBride of the C. Roelands road in the El Modena district; R. Courreges, P. A. Isenor and McBride of the F. Schutte road in the Newhope district. On the report of the viewers, the petition of W. S. Babb for narrowing a road in the Newport district was denied. Supervisors Smith and Leck were appointed a committee to provide supplies and means of working the county prisoners, according to the county government act. Petitions for pipelines to cross highways were granted to J. A. Turner at Yorba, George Rumpf at Olive and F. M. Waltz. The petition of residents of Orangethorpe precinct asking that their territory be put back in West Anaheim was laid on the table, on motion of Supervisor Linebarger.

Only two applicants for building permits were on file Thursday night. They were: To J. B. Hemerling, frame dwelling on Santa Ana street; cost $2000. To J. D. Lavin, addition to building on North Los Angeles street at cost of $500. The petition of Joe Loeb, one of the power house employees, for an increase of salary from $65 to $75 per month was granted. Joe has been in the employ of the city for four years. Marshal Kellenberger reported that the board will have to secure a new site for the public hitching grounds as Miss Rimpau has recently purchased the vacant lot on the corner of Chartres and Los Angeles streets, now utilized for that purpose, and contemplates erecting a building there. She also demands rent for its use for the present. The hitchrails will be removed if a suitable site can be secured. O. E. Campbell complained to the board that the Anaheim Union Water Company's ditch passing through his property on West street was overflowing and causing considerable damage and annoyance, and he wanted the board to take some action in the matter. Trustee Stock reported that Superintendent Porter of the water company recently informed him that the company expected to pipe this ditch in a short time, consequently the matter was dropped. City Recorder Howard's report shows 46 cases in his court during the month, the fines collected aggregating $159.

BOOKS FOR THE YOUNG County Secretary Hamilton Gives a List of Publications Santa Ana, Cal., Feb. 8, 1912. Ed. Gazette.-At various times I have been asked by parents and religious workers with the young to give them the names of books which might be of help to them. Believing that your paper would help bring this list before many such I am giving the names of a few such books. When paraents and religious workers with children will train and study for the work as faithfully as we do for orange growing, chicken raising, and for other secular pursuits, then we shall have some chance of really solving the boy problem and the girl problem. Thanking you in advance for publishing this list, I remain, yours respectfully, R. J. Hamilton, County Secretary Y.M.C.A. A list of books appropriate to this purpose follows: 1. Foster—The Boy and the Church. 2. Cook—The Gospel for Boys. 3. McKinney—The Child for Christ 4. McKinney—After the Primary—What? 5. McKinney—Our Big Boys and the Sunday School. 6. Haslett—The Pedagogical Bible School. 7. Lawrence—How to Conduct a Sunday School. 8. DuBois—The Point of Contact in Teaching. 9. Forbush—The Boy Problem. 10. Forbush—Church Work with Boys. 11. Official Handbook—Boy Scouts of America. 12. Littlefield—Hand Work in the Sunday School. 13. Faris—Pleasant Sunday Afternoons for the Children. 14. Arnold—a Mother's List of Books for Children. 15. Kern—Selected Books for the Boys. 16. Abbott—On the Training of Parents. 17. Abbott—Gentle Measures in the Training of the Young. 18. Davids—Note-Book of an Adopted Mother. 19. Harrison—A Study of Child Nature. 20. Poulsson—Law and Love in Where the farmer might save a few cents upon carriage of goods bought from some mail-order house, he would lose much more through deadening of the town and sending its resources to large mail-order centers. The proposed carriage of parcel's by the government for concerns a thousand miles distant at the same price as that charged for a few miles would weaken home ties and loyalty to community interests. It would build up large mail-order concerns to the depreciation of local values. Nearness to a good live town adds to contentment on the farm. Increase of great cities and consequent misery of many unemployed are largely due to dullness of many small towns.The great cities furnish gravest dangers. Carriage of first and second class mail at a cost regardless of distance might be justified by their diffusion of intelligence necessary for stability of a republic. The present carriage of merchandise up to four pounds regardless of distance was only incidental; for samples, for information purposes, etc. This has been so abused that it might be more just to transport even merchandise under this limit at rates proportionate to distance. The chief argument used to locate industries in the central west has been that thereby such concerns would be nearer the centers of population and markets. If the government should haul much merchandise at rates regardless of distance, there would be little inducement for a factory to locate or establish a branch in the west or south. Factories thus would congregate where labor and power are cheapest. The proposed time required for these to traverse the distance laid off on the bank The surface velocity in feet per second is obtained by dividing the distance in feet passed over by the float by the time in seconds it takes the float to travel this distance. The average of several such determinations will give the mean surface velocity of the stream. This result multiplied by the coefficient 0.80 gives nearly the mean velocity of the stream. To obtain the area of the cross section of the stream, stretch a tape from shore to shore and take the depth of the stream at intervals of 2 to 5 feet. The average of these depths may be assumed as the mean depth of the stream. This average multiplied by the total width will give the area of the cross section of the stream in square feet. The discharge is found by multiplying this cross-section area by the mean velocity, as obtained by the float measurements, the result giving the discharge in second-feet, or, in other words, the number of cubic feet flowing past the point of measurement each second. In determining the velocity for small streams and when only approximate results are desired the float is placed in the center of the stream only. For larger streams and when greater accuracy is desired a tape is stretched across the stream and the distance between the banks is divided into a number of equal spaces or sections. Floats are then allowed to drift down the stream as near as possible in the center of each of these spaces, the same number of floats being used for each section. 14.

OPPOSES PARCELS POST Senate Postoffice Committee Hears Objections to Proposed Measure (Correspondence of The Gazette) Washington, D. C., February 9. — President Taft has notified President Gomez of Cuba that, unless a reign of militarism can be averted there, the American government will take charge of the island. The national board of trade representing organizations in all parts of the country has been in session in Washington. The association encourages business men to interest themselves in primaries and in public questions. It endorsed one-cent letter postage. A convention has been in session in the interest of federal aid to the good roads. In an address to the meat packers Senator Reed of Missouri condemned the Judge Gary plan of federal supervision of corporations as "Plutocratic Socialism." Representative Henry of Texas has proposed a constitutional amendment making the last Thursday of April, instead of March 4, the date for inaugurating presidents and vice presidents. The charge that persons connected with the steel trust are endeavoring to advance his nomination for the presidency has been called by Col. Roosevelt "Tom-foolery." The recommendation of Postmaster-General Hitchcock that the government appraise, take over and operate the telegraph companies has produced much discussion. Charles S. Hernly, president of the New Castle, Ind., industrial association, has just given the senate post-office committee an interesting recital of industrial development. He said that New Castle was a sleepy country village with a population of 3406. The chief argument used to locate industries in the central west has been that thereby such concerns would be nearer the centers of population and markets. If the government should haul much merchandise at rates regardless of distance, there would be little inducement for a factory to locate or establish a branch in the west or south. Factories thus would congregate where labor and power are cheapest. The proposed system, he believed, was "protection to home industries," reversed to destruction of home industries. "Parcels post," he said, "is the entering wedge of government ownership and socialism." It will necessitate large increase of force and equipment. Its chief advocates have introduced bills providing for government operation of transportation lines, including public highways, "at the lowest possible rates regardless of distance." If the limit be increased to eleven pounds, why not 1100 pounds? It has been said that eleven pounds is the weight of a gallon of whiskey, jug and container. Advocacy of government entrance into express carrying business is naturally followed, he said, by socialistic demand for its ownership and operation of telegraph lines, telephones, railroads, coal mines, etc. Individualism, initiative and self reliance would disappear under such paternalism and bureaucracy. Government conduct of business is more costly and wasteful than private operation. Regulation, not operation, should be bad. Many factories are moving out of the large cities to towns and smaller cities where living conditions produce improved types of citizenship, he argued, and parcels post would stop this movement of decentralization. It would blight the efforts of live industrial organizations for town development. For the government to place the products of factories well-established in old-settled communities into the markets of the central west at the same price as charged to local industries, many of which are new and struggling for a foothold, would rebuke the pioneer spirit and punish local enterprise. He did not believe this to be a true function of the United States government. Ours differs from those of the old world in its encouragement to liberty of thought and action, equal and exact justice to all. Local merchants, he said, should likewise allow to retain the advantages small streams and when only approximate results are desired the float is placed in the center of the stream only. For larger streams and when greater accuracy is desired a tape is stretched across the stream and the distance between the banks is divided into a number of equal spaces or sections. Floats are then allowed to drift down the stream as near as possible in the center of each of these spaces, the same number of floats being used for each section. The mean surface velocity is then assumed to be the mean of the surface velocities obtained for the several sections. For each float the distance of its starting point from the right bank is recorded as indicated. WILSON IN LIMELIGHT Secretary of Agriculture Up for Investigation Washington, Feb. 10. — Another investigation of the department of agriculture, which promises to rival the recent Wiley inquiry in notoriety, was ordered yesterday as a result of the charges involving Secretary Wilson and Solicitor McCabe, which were laid before the house committee on expenditures in the agricultural department by Representative Clark of Florida and Bathrick of Ohio. For some months criticism in regard to the alleged friendly attitude of the department toward various companies which have been exploiting under water land in the Florida everglades has been heard in Washington. These companies, which are row under investigation, have advertised extensively throughout the United States, and it is contended, have collected millions of dollars for lands obtained at 50 cents an acre and sold as high as $60 an acre, which are now covered with from two to ten feet of water, which will not be drained for many years, if ever, and the ultimate value of which is doubtful. The situation came to a head yesterday when Represeentatives Clark and Bathrick appeared before the house caucus and declared that circular letters of warning, intended as a response to many inquiries received at the department as to the reliability of the everglades land for investment and an elaborate report prepared at an expense to the government of $10,000, had been suppressed by order of the secretary. The report was not favorable to the sale of the submerged lands. "I went to the agricultural depart- The recommendation of Postmaster-General Hitchcock that the government appraise, take over and operate the telegraph companies has produced much discussion. Charles S. Hernly, president of the New Castle, Ind., industrial association, has just given the senate post-office committee an interesting recital of industrial development. He said that New Castle was a sleepy country village with a population of 3406 in 1900. It is now a thriving city having about twenty-five important diversified industries and a population of something more than 15,000. Though houses have been rapidly built, last year an automobile company, employing two thousand hands in their plant, found it necessary to invest $150,000 to provide homes for their employees. The success of New Castle caused many other towns to follow its example. Mr. Hernly's services have been asked by commercial clubs in nearly every state. Under his direction, Brazil, Evansville and other Indiana cities ahve succeeded in locating important industries. Mr. Hernly said that one of the first things they did not do was to send for a lot of mail-order catalogs. Lack of public spirit, he said, would deaden any town. Local merchants had always been active in such development. Any system which disables them from helping in such mvoements, supporting their local newspapers and extending credits necessary in growing towns, will result in decreased home markets for farm products, labor, etc. Lands near a live town are worth much more than land near a dead town. Any rate which would enable the government to operate parcels post otherwise than at great loss would be so high as to make it impracticable for transporting farm products. Merchants and farmers prefer to sell goods and products through personal inspection. HOW TO MEASURE A RIVER Simple Method Described for Determining the Volume of Any Stream The United States geological survey frequently receives letters inquiring for some simple method of determining the approximate flow of streams or small rivers. It is believed that the following instructions may be of some value to those who for any reason wish to determine the velocity or volume of a stream. To ascertain the velocity of the stream choose a place where the channel is straight for 100 to 200 feet and has a nearly constant width and depth; lay off on the bank a line 50 or 100 feet in length, marking each end; then allow small chips to float down the stream, by one of the methods described below, noting at the same price as charged to local industries, many of which are new and struggling for a foothold, would rebuke the pioneer spirit and punish local enterprise. He did not believe this to be a true function of the United States government. Ours differs from those of the old world in its encouragement to liberty of thought and action, equal and exact justice to all. Local merchants, he said, should likewise be allowed to retain the advantages nature and their own efforts and expenditures had given them of their local markets. For the government to deprive them of these, he believed, would be class legislation. Agitation, which it was assumed came from the farmers, really came from retail mail order houses. Though the voice may be that of Jacob, the hand was that of Esau. To be "progressive" toward socialism is not real progress, he claimed; but we should seek the "old paths" and oppose further entrance by the federal government into fields of private enterprise.
