No expense, labor or effort has been spared to bring the results of the latest scientific experiments in agriculture, horticulture, live stock, public health, etc., before the public through the medium of this demonstration train. That the work is appreciated in Anaheim was demonstrated by the crowd that began pouring in as soon as the doors were open, and continued until closing time. Many hundreds of people passed through the train, and each one discovered something new and interesting. The train is in charge of Prof. W. T. Clarke, superintendent of university extension in agriculture. Eighteen courteous and obliging assistants accompany him, all of whom are experts and authorities in the branches over which they presided. Car No. 1 was devoted to live stock, and was in charge of O. D. Baker. Two cows and three fat pigs were exhibited here as products of the Davis farm, and all the latest methods of feeding scientifically and handling animals could be learned from Mr. Baker. Car No. 2 contained two departments—Veterinary Science and Dairy Industry. Dr. C. L. Roadhouse had charge of the veterinary department. The prevention and cure of diseases of animals was, of course, the ultimate points of his exhibits. Models showing the best methods of sanitation in the homes of animals were displayed and explained. L. M. Davis presided over the Dairy department in the same car. He was demonstrating the good qualities of the Babcock milk tester, and the best method of conducting any branch of the dairy business could be procured from him by asking. There were three departments in Car No. 3—Field Crops, Soils and Fertilizers. B. A. Madson was in charge of the former and had on display specimens of all the crops now grown in California, including cotton measures, brooders and necropsies were exhibited, and several plans of housing and yarding the chickens explained. The feeding of poultry, especially laying hens, was also one of the important points demonstrated by Mr. George. Mrs. C. A. Amundsen was in charge of the college of agriculture department. She had on exhibition many photographs of the various branches of the great university, and also passed out literature and explained the workings of the several departments. The last of the string of cars contained the departments of Public Health and Home Economics. Dr. A. B. Shaw was in charge of the health department, and he had a large number of photographs showing the manner in which diseases are contracted from lack of proper precaution and sanitation. Also models of plumbing apparatus, exhibiting the best methods of house sanitation. The last department of the train proved the most interesting for the ladies. It was Miss L. D. Clark's home economics display. All the new labor-saving devices for the kitchen, the dairy, and for use of the housewife generally, were on exhibition here and explained by Miss Clark. The demonstration closed at five o'clock but the train remained in the yards all night, leaving for Santa Ana at 8:30 Saturday morning. SNOW IN IOWA Worst Winter n Memory of Oldest Settlers Robert McKee is in receipt of the following letter from a friend in Iowa, which depicts the hardships of the present winter in that state. Mr. McKee has written in reply, contrasting the ideal weather prevailing here with that in the blizzard belt, and it is probable Anaheim's population will soon be augmented by new arrivals from Iowa. The letter reads: Garden Grove, Ia., March 1, 1912. Mr. Robert McKee, Anaheim, Cal. -Dear Sir: This winter has been the worst that any of the old settlers know of in this country for a good many years. The snow is so high that we have to make paths around the high drifts, and it looks like going around the mountains. The snow in our yard is as high as the chicken houses. We have not been through the roads for 2 1-2 months. Been going through Leighty field to town. But we will still stick to old Iowa. The cattle around here are vis presided over the Dairy department in the same car. He was demonstrating the good qualities of the Babcock milk tester, and the best method of conducting any branch of the dairy business could be procured from him by asking. There were three departments in Car No. 3—Field Crops, Soils and Fertilizers. B. A. Madson was in charge of the former and had on display specimens of all the crops now grown in California, including cotton from the Imperial valley. Charts showing the commercial value of nitrogen and manure fertilizers and their results on different soils and crops were here displayed. Prof. Lipman also had several maps showing the good effects of dynamiting hardpan in orchards. In this department was operated a miniature irrigating plant, displaying ditches in operation, pumps, gates and all needed apparatus. Car No. 4 contained the departments of Entomology, Plant Diseases and Birds and Mammals. In the insect branch Prof. J. C. Bridwell was showing the various brands of insecticides and fungicides and explaining the compounding and application in fumigation and elsewhere. The plant disease department, under S. S. Rogers, was displaying a number of plants and leaves showing and labeling the various diseases that attack the plants, and explaining how to doctor the sick plants. The birds and mammals display in this car was being exhibited by H. C. Bryant. Specimens of all the birds, rodents, mammals and reptiles native to the soil of California were on his tables, and a list of the valuable and destructive groups were shown. Apparatus and poisons for destroying rodents were also explained.

The snow is so high that we have to make paths around the high drifts, and it looks like going around the mountains. The snow in our yard is as high as the chicken houses. We have not been through the roads for 2 1/2 months. Been going through Leighty field to town. But we will still stick to old Iowa. The cattle around here are awfully poor and feed is very scarce. Hay, what little there is, is worth twenty dollars a ton. There isn't any news here that I know of. The weather has been so bad and trains are not running. Yours truly, Joseph Bailey, Garden Grove, Iowa.

The various growers' organizations of the state sent delegates to the meeting, the following associations being represented: Santa Barbara, Carpinteria, Oxnard, Saticoy, Santa Paula, Limoneria, Whittier, Walnut, La Habra, Fullerton, Golden Belt, Anaheim, Richland and Santa Ana. Fred A. Hazzard of Los Angeles presided, outlining the purposes of the organization. "We believe that the growers in the walnut industry in California may obtain mutual advantages by organization," he said. "The citrus growers have perfected a large and powerful association, which has been helpful to its members. With such extensive interests as the walnut growers have it is essential that there be a strong organization for both advancement and protection." The election of directors resulted in the selection of Delegates Hoag, Saticoy; Williams of Santa Barbara; Thorpe, Santa Paula; Teague, Santa Paula; Currier of Walnut; McNees, Whittier; Dunlap, Whittier; Stutsman, Santa Ana; Hayden, Anaheim.

Ahlborn said that the last trip brought many strangers in touch Anaheim who were now regular tomers of the town, and he suped that a committee be appointed arrange another trip map out the inerary, fix a date, and reportress at a subsequent meeting.

It will be adopted at the regular session tonight. The ordinance merely submits the question to the voters at the coming election as the board has no authority to vote itself a salary. The petition of Joseph Helmsen for permit to erect a brick building on the lot east of the city hall was met with a protest. The building is to be used as a blacksmith shop, and residents in the neighborhood to the number of thirty objected to the establishment of such a business in that locality. Attorney Evans appeared for the petitioners and pleaded their cause while N. Hart made a few remarks in defense of the blacksmith. It would not be as objectionable as they anticipated, he said, besides it would soon be crowded out by the advance of other business. The board decided that it had no authority to stop the erection of the building and to prevent its occupancy by a blacksmith, an ordinance creating a zone would have to be adopted. This would necessarily interfere with other shops also. Mr. Helmsen's permit was granted and the matter dropped. City Attorney Ames reported that the board of supervisors had granted the petition of the city of Anaheim for a sewer right of way along the Garden Grove road. The board was of opinion that the bonds of the marshal and city treasurer were insufficient considering sums of money they handle. helpful to its members.

The election of directors resulted in the selection of Delegates Hoag, Saticoy; Williams of Santa Barbara; Thorpe, Santa Paula; Teague, Santa Paula; Currier of Walnut; McNees, Whittier; Dunlap, Whittler; Stutsman, Santa Ana; Hayden, Anaheim. Because the purpose of the organization is not for financial gain no capitalization is required. ELECTRIC LINE MAY COME Possibility that Railway May Be Built from Ontario According to a story which comes from Ontario the United States government is to survey and in all probability dredge Newport harbor, has renewed activity among local capitalists there and a project to build an electric railway from Ontario to the proposed harbor by way of Anaheim and Santa Ana, a distance of thirty-two miles, is again being seriously considered. The project was launched several years ago, but has hung fire awaiting some action on the part of Uncle Sam. A company backed by capitalists headed by Charles Frankish, known as the Ontario interurban railway company, has already secured a right of way for a greater part of the distance and it is probable that arrangements may be made for connecting with the lines of the Pacific Electric at Santa Ana. The line will be a direct outlet for the interior of Southern California to the coast, and with the opening of the Panama canal will greatly reduce the cost of freight transportation to interior shippers. Ontario's shipping alone amounts to thousands of pounds yearly. The railroad, if built, will draw upon the entire San Bernardino country and from the eastern end of Los Angeles county, and meaning a cheap outlet for the products of one of the most fertile valleys in Southern California and will be of incalculable value to this entire section. POOR FARM FOR COUNTY Board of Supervisors Consider the Purchase of Two Tracts The Board of Supervisors has determined to establish a county poor farm in accordance with the recommendation of the local government. The debate that was on the basis as part of the evening's business entertainment, was postponed Monday, March 23, owing to the absence of two of the orators. "Roved, That Anaheim should adopt commission form of government," the subject. Stern and Eygabroad were the speakers appointed to fend and Mills and Renner to defend the proposition. Chairman Eygabroad appointed heads of the various committees in the ensuing year, announcing each should select his own associates They are: Membership, Ahlbøl Public Improvements, Krause; Finance and Advertising, Duckworth Manufacturing, Gibbs; Trade Commerce, Eygabroad; Transportation, Beebe; Entertainment and Inventions, Hamler. A. A. Mills brought forward question of an outfall sewer to ocean which would serve all the cities of Orange county. Newport offered outfall privileges and the pipeline could be laid from Fullerton to this point, other points connecting at convenient places. The fall was 175 feet and the cost would be less than half a million. In response to a question City Attorney Ames said he was not at litlety to say what the trustees had view in the outfall matter. He believed, however, such a move would be unnecessary at this time and could positively state it was a financial impossibility. A communication from the California development board inquiring about industries, factories, etc., could best developed here was referred to the manufacturing committee. It was decided to make an aggressive move toward increasing membership of the board. On motion POOR FARM FOR COUNTY Board of Supervisors Consider the Purchase of Two Tracts The Board of Supervisors has determined to establish a county poor farm in accordance with the recommendation of the last grand jury report. Two sites are now under consideration. The supervisors made a trip to inspect a $7-acre tract out on West Seventeenth street, Santa Ana, which S. R. Obarr has offered as a site for $20,000. A second site considered is Fairview Hot Springs, consisting of 22 acres and buildings offered for $17,000. The objection offered to the purchase of this property is that it is too far from the county seat. The supervisors have not decided whether or not it will be necessary to call for a bond issue to finance the poor farm purchase. If a bond issue is necessary it will probably include provision for a hospital, which was also recommended by the grand jury. The city of Anaheim was granted right-of-way over the county roads for an outfall sewer between Anaheim and the city of Stanton. A delegation waited on the supervisors to urge a petition for building of a bridge across the Santa Ana river on West Seventeenth street, in Santa Ana. John Barr of Park City, Montana, an old-time friend of J. W. Sackett, arrived here on Tuesday on a visit to that gentleman and other members of the Montana colony. Mr. Barr is favorably impressed with Anaheim, and is looking over the city with a view to establishing a garage and machine shop. A communication from the California development board inquiring about industries, factories, etc., could best developed here was referred to the manufacturing committee. It was decided to make an aggressive move toward increasing the membership of the board. On motion of Adams it was voted to issue a year certificate of membership to person paying $5 in advance. Hereafter all bills incurred by committees or members must be first authorized and O.K.d by the financial committee. As a great deal of fruit goes from this neighborhood to Fullerton for shipping, A. A. Mills wanted the board to father a move toward the location of an independent packing house. While Anaheim has increased her packing facilities 300 per cent during the past year or two, he said still a large number of Anaheim oranges were packed at Fullerton. The question was laid over. Eygabroad wanted to know if some step could not be taken that would compel packers to feed their culls to hogs. All the good fruit, he said, is shipped east and nothing but culls left to feed tourists or visitors. This gives a wrong impression to strangers and if the culls were destroyed we would find good oranges in our home markets. Judge Howard stated that up in the Pomona valley a big packing plant maintained an auxiliary where all culls and low grade fruit was transformed into marmalades, cider, etc., and a similar institution at Anaheim would dispose of the culls and leave nothing but good fruit for the market. The suggestion met with approval and the manufacturing committee was instructed to take it up. MARCH 14, 1912. THE GAZETTE The Original Anaheim Booster.

WILL OCCUPY FRONT SEAT Judge Howard Qualifies for Admission to Club Judge Howard tells a story of the rain and wind which fits him for membership in the Romancers' Club. The Judge says that the rain of Saturday so dampened the ground about one of the trees in the parking at his residence on Claudina street that the wind of Sunday blew it over. He was sorrowfully contemplating the loss of his prized shade tree, when the wind, coming from an opposite direction, straightened the tree up, and it is now growing greener than ever. The Judge will take a front seat in the club. SCHOOL APPORTIONMENT The semi-annual apportionment of school funds by the state, based on the number of pupils in average attendance June 30, 1911, has been announced..
