A regular meeting of the board of directors of A.U.W.Co. was held on the above date, with all members present. Minutes of last regular meeting were read and approved. Bradford reported that the ditch between Schaller's corner and Tom Drips property needed immediate attention, and recommended that it be piped. The superintendent was instructed to keep the ditch clean for the present. Beazley reported the ditch in rear of B. F. Porter's property needed attention. Superintendent was instructed to clean it out and keep it in repair. On motion of Hale seconded by Bealzey the superintendent was instructed to keep a supply of 12 in. and 16 in. pipe continually on hand. Beazley reported the Gardiner ditch needed raising and repairing. Sherwood was instructed to get the grade of this ditch and report at the next meeting. Mr. Deimling of the Edison Electric Co. stated that the Edison company would reinstall the motor at P.P. No. 1 and furnish all material and labor to install the motor at well No. 1 at P.P.

On motion of Bradford seconded by Hale the proposition of Deimling was accepted and the president and secretary were authorized to sign agree- pump which they had installed at P.P. 2, and on motion of Hale seconded by Bradford the president and secretary were authorized to sign a warrant in favor of the Byron-Jackson company for $860, the amount due. The report of the Amalgamated company for May was received and filed. A communication was received from J. P. Yates in regard to the Employer's Liability Act, quoting a rate of 65c for each $100 of the annual pay roll. As this was for operating only and did not include construction work and other risks, the matter was referred to Sherwood to get rates covering the entire system and report at next meeting. On motion of Hale seconded by McFadden the following resolution was passed: Resolved, That the president and secretary be and are hereby authorized to borrow for the company an amount of money sufficient to pay the interest due on bonds, notes, etc. due July 1, 1912, and the president and secretary are hereby authorized to sign notes for the amount borrowed. McFadden presented a requisition blank which was approved by the board and the secretary was instructed to have a supply printed. Bradford reported there was a misunderstanding between the stockholders who had applied for a pipeline on the Mattle Taylor ranch, in regard to the payment for same. On motion of Hale seconded by Beazley the board rescinded their action of April the 20th, when the pipe line was granted, and instructed the superintendent not to construct the proposed line, and the secretary was instructed to notify the stockholders in question that it would be neces- Sherwood was instructed to get the grade of this ditch and report at the next meeting. Mr. Delmling of the Edison Electric Co. stated that the Edison company would reinstall the motor at P.P. No. 1 and furnish all material and labor to install the motor at well No. 1 at P.P. No. 3 for $125. On motion of Bradford seconded by Hale the proposition of Delmling was accepted and the president and secretary were authorized to sign agreement with the Edison Co. for above work and the agreement for the additional 75 H.P. necessary to operate P.P. 5. Mr. Cox of the General Electric Co. presented a contract in which he proposed to furnish a 75 H.P. motor and three 25 Kw. transformers for $1301.10, and on motion of Bradford seconded by Dwyer the president and secretary were authorized to sign the contract with the General Electric. On motion of Hale seconded by Beazley, Sherwood was instructed to draw plans for a house of sufficient size to cover both wells at P.P. 3. Bradford was appointed a committee of one to purchase a steel ladder for pit 1 at P.P. 3. Mr. Morlae stated that he had finished pit No. 1, at a depth of 84 feet, and requested a check in payment of the amount due. By the terms of the contract there was $462 due Morlae and on motion of Hale seconded by Dwyer the president and secretary were instructed to sign warrant in favor of Morlae for the sum. Mr. Morlae proposed to construct a nine foot pit at well No. 2 at P.P. No. 3 for $18 per foot and on motion of Hale seconded by Bradford the attorney was instructed to draw up a contract with Morlae and the president and secretary were authorized to sign the contract. Sherwood reported that he had purchased seven acres of land from the Stern Realty Co., adjoining the Gomber tract for a right of way for a pipe line from P.P. 3 to the main canal, and presented a contract signed by J. Stern. On motion of Hale seconded by Bradford the action of Mr. Sherwood was approved. J. C. des Granges offered his services to the company to prepare the maps of the entire system. Sherwood stated he had been instructed to do this work for the company and was about ready to start. Hale reported the oil committee had met with Messrs. Wootan and Kammerer of the Amalgamated company, in regard to a proper divisional methods of furnishing it to be studied by a National Commission on Farm Finance The finance committee has reported favorably to the United States senate the Gronna resolution. It provides for a national commission on farm finance, to consist of three members and to be limited to one year. It is to investigate and report upon the systems of co-operative land mortgage banking, and co-operative rural credit unions, which have achieved such stupendous success in Europe. If this class of institution can be enjoyed by American farmers, the result will be of profound importance, says an editorial in Farm and Home. The Nashville conference, which considered this problem, takes the same view. An official report of the British government says that these methods of co-operative rural credit are "a modern discovery which may be likened, as a factor in production, o the discovery of steam." Some millions of farmers in different European countries are members of thousands of local and provincial credit unions that make a business of seasonal loans to farmers, at reasonable rates. In Germany alone, all these rural banks are doing a business of $5,000,000,000 annually. Foreign co-operative land-mortgage-bank do a still larger business, enabling farmers to borrow money on mortgage at 3 1-2 to 4 1-2 per cent and encouraging them to repay it by installments, so that in due time the farmer owns his place free and clear of all incumbrance. Abroad, these institutions are the by J. Stern. On motion of Hale seconded by Bradford the action of Mr. Sherwood was approved. J. C. des Granges offered his services to the company to prepare the maps of the entire system. Sherwood stated he had been instructed to do this work for the company and was about ready to start. Hale reported the oil committee had met with Messrs. Wootan and Kammerer of the Amalgamated company, in regard to a proper division of the oil, and although convinced that the A.U.W.Co. were getting one-eight of the oil reported, the A.U.W.Co. has no absolute check on the total production. The oil committee were given more time to arrange for a better method of division. Sherwood reported the reservoir nearly ready to cement and asked for permission to purchase crushed rock. On motion of Hale seconded by Beazley Sherwood was authorized to purchase the necessary crushed rock. Bradford reported he was unable to secure insurance on the machinery at the oil fields and had purchased two fire extinguishers. Mr. Cokley offered to lease the Tuffree reservoir site for a term of twenty years for oil purposes at 1-6 royalty and a bonus of $4500, provided the A.U.W.Co. would furnish him with 50 inches of water at all times at 90 per cent regular rates. Cokley's offer was refused. Applications on file for transfer of stock were on motion granted. A communication was received from Walker & Gilbert and placed on file. A communication was received from the Byron Jackson iron works company, stating a payment was due on the 12 in. Horizontal Booster of seasonal loans to farmers, at reasonable rates. In Germany alone, all these rural banks are doing a business of $5,000,000,000 annually. Foreign co-operative land-mortgage-bank do a still larger business, enabling farmers to borrow money on mortgage at 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 per cent and encouraging them to repay it by installments, so that in due time the farmer owns his place free and clear of all incumbrance. Abroad, these institutions are the outgrowth of over 150 years' experience. Their successful development in this country may be productive of more good than all of the political reforms now agitating the public mind. The national commission on farm finance should present all the facts, so that the farmers in the respective states may succeed in their financial co-operation. The report should suggest what state laws are needed and also whether any national legislation is called for to promote the most effective progress of co-operative farm finance. AN EXPENSIVE BREAK Monday morning while a Los Angeles plate glass company was placing the large-glass in the front of the Anaheim National Bank building a corner about eight inches deep was broken off when an attempt was made to raise the entire glass to even the space at the bottom. The glass had already been put in position and a few minutes more work would have completed the chore when the break occurred. This necessitated removing the large glass and taking it back to the city to replace with another. A team driven to town afternoon by C.

During the last legislature it was well-known that State Senator Miguel Estudillo of Riverside was sparring with a view to re-election, and that Assemblymah Bishop of Santa Ana had his eyes on Estudillo's job. Bishop tried to make Orange county one assembly district, while Estudillo thought to add Imperial county that he might gain an advantage over Bishop. Estudillo's plan carried. While Estudillo's name has been mentioned casually as a candidate for congress, it is not thought here that he ever had any show for getting into the race. Anyhow, the River-side republicans have used a postcard vote to pick S. C. Evans as their candidate for congress. With that, a petition was started in River-side asking that Estudillo run again for state senator. In the meantime, John N. Anderson of Santa Ana, who served in the senate before Estudillo was sent there, had entered the race as a Progressive, which is the side of the fence upon which Estudillo now stands. This last week still another progressive is reported as going into the race. He is Lew H. Wallace, a banker of Newport Beach, a nephew of Lieut.-Gov. Wallace. Bishop has not yet announced his intentions, but he probably is waiting to see how things shape up. ADVERTISEMENTS WORTH WHILE Often one meets the man, and occasionally the woman, who boast of not reading the newspaper advertisements. This rapidly diminishing class has not yet realized that advertisements are open doors to opportunities of betterment in their welfare. They do not know what they are missing, and, like the ostrich, that buries its head in the sand when danger is imminent; imagine they have escaped an unnecessary ordeal. What a delusion. Go out among your friends and acquaintances, if you will, and you will find that those of them who get along in the world most easily and contentedly are readers of advertisements. The man on a salary of $1500 a year who, with his family, carefully watches the newspaper advertisements, can and will live in the same style and comfort as a man on a salary of $2000 who, with his family, ignores the announcements in the advertising columns. It couldn't be otherwise. The thrifty housewife reads the advertisements and watches for special offers and reductions in merchandise and food products. The saving is often as much as 50 per cent.

Bishop has not yet announced his intentions, but he probably is waiting to see how things shape up. T. E. Stephenson has started his nomination petition for assemblyman of this district, and so far he is the only candidate to announce himself. J. W. Newell of Placentia was given an indorsement for the position by a meeting of Lincoln-Roosevelt League at Fullerton several months ago, but as yet Newell has not made known his intentions. There are to be two supervisors elected in this county next fall. The terms of H. E. Smith, republican, of Santa Ana, and D. S. Linebarger, democrat, of Fullerton, end. Smith is already in the fight for reelection and has City Trustee W. L. Grubb of Santa Ana as his opponent for the nomination. Linebarger will not run. There will be two or more candidates for the republican nomination in his district. WILSON’S PLACE RAIDED El Toro Boot Legger Landed in the County Jail Officers landed one of the shiftiest blind pig operators in the county jail Friday night when they took "Gimple" Wilson of El Toro into an automobile and took him to Santa Ana. With Wilson was brought a quantity of liquor, including 6 sacks of bottled beer and several demi-johns of wine. Wilson has been a nuisance in the El Toro district for some time. A number of residents in that vicinity refrained from complaining against him for fear that his resentment might take some material form. On Friday men sent to El Toro by District Attorney West and Sheriff Ruddock made purchases of liquor from Wilson, and a search warrant was issued by Justice Cox. District Attorney West, Deputy Sheriffs Ramsey and Squires and Constable Heard went to El Toro by automobile. Wilson’s shack is situated in a barley field south of El Toro.

That is exactly what they will do for you. Start in today. Read over the advertisements. If you have not been doing this, you will marvel and wonder over what you have been missing. Only the progressive and up-to-date merchants advertise. Their slogan is “Many Sales and Moderate Profits.” The fellow you have dealings with may not be an advertiser. He probably has a limited business and must make a big profit to keep going. Buy from those who sell you the most and best for the money. You will find them to be advertisers and progressive. Their advertisements are in this newspaper. CONSERVING BIRD LIFE How Farmers May Have Assistants In Destroying Insect Pests Advices received the past few days from prominent educators in thirty-one states and five Canadian Provinces reveal a most unusual interest now manifest in bird study in the schools through the country. The reason for this unparalleled activity is explained by superintendents and principals of schools as being due to a pronounced awakening of the public conscience to the importance of conserving wild bird life. Farmers and fruit growers are complaining of the depredations of insects which annually take a toll of at least ten per cent of all crops, and foresters state that bark-and-wood-boring beetles are playing havoc with many forms of fine forest trees. Birds destroy many of these injurious insects. In numerous cities bird life is now a required study in the schools and in nine states, the educational departments have recently issued attract- refrained from complaining against him for fear that his resentment might take some material form. On Friday men sent to El Toro by District Attorney West and Sheriff Ruddock made purchases of liquor from Wilson, and a search warrant was issued by Justice Cox. District Attorney West, Deputy Sheriffs Ramsey and Squires and Constable Heard went to El Toro by automobile. Wilson's shack is situated in a barley field south of El Toro. When the officers arrived, one of them was stationed at the back door, and it was well that this was done, for when entrance was demanded at the front door Wilson endeavored to escape by the back door. Wilson was placed in the county jail. About three years ago he had a similar experience. At that time he was peddling liquor, making his headquarters in a shack this side of El Toro. He was arrested and fined. Wilson is a cripple. A LUCKY RUNAWAY A team driven to town Tuesday afternoon by C. Ahlbekack was standing at the Ganahl Lumber company's yards when it frightened at a machine and started on a little run on its own account. They tore up Center street and when near the Anaheim Realty Company's office collided with an H. H. Gardner delivery wagon driven by H. W. Lawe. The driver was thrown from his seat and fell beneath the heavy farm wagon, but fortunately the impact of the two rigs stopped the rush of the team and the horses came to a standstill before the heavy wagon had passed over Lawe's body. He escaped with only a sprained finger. Farmers and fruit growers are complaining of the depredations of insects which annually take a toll of at least ten per cent of all crops, and foresters state that bark-and-wood-boring beetles are playing havoc with many forms of fine forest trees. Birds destroy many of these injurious insects. In numerous cities bird life is now a required study in the schools and in nine states, the educational departments have recently issued attractive and expensive books containing elaborate programs for the use of pupils on bird day, which the state law now requires them to observe. In addition to receiving instruction on the value of birds to mankind, pupils are being taught to build and erect artificial drinking fountains and boxes for nesting places. "If many species of North American birds are to be saved from extinction, the children who are to be the men and women of the next generation must be taught that the wild bird has a most pronounced economic value," said T. Gilbert Pearson, secretary of the National Association of Audubon Societies, at the office at 1974 Broadway, New York. "One evidence of this great awakening is the fact that we have enrolled over 25,000 school children as junior members during the past few months. All of these pupils are supplied with colored pictures of American birds and also the best literature which it is possible to obtain on the subject." Mr. Pearson further stated that the association was financially able to do this largely on account of the liberal contributions which are being made annually to the cause by Mrs. Russell Sage.
