RAPID WORK FOR SAN FRANCISCO EXPOSITION PLANS FOR SERVICE BUILDING COMPLETED, WORK SOON TO BE UNDER WAY PLANS PERFECTED FOR RECEPTION OF JAPANSES COMMISSIONERS (Correspondence of Gazette.) San Francisco, July 23.—In a report submitted by the buildin and grounds committee to the board of directors of the exposition, it was stated that the drawings for the service building, one of the first structures to be erected on the exposition site were practically completed, and that studies are under way for the grouping of minor buildings about the Fillmore-street entrance and the entrance to the amusement concessions. The report further showed that the engineering department is working on plans for the operation of the sewer system, which is to drain the exhibit palaces and that these plans were three-fourths completed. Working plans for the fresh water system and the fire protection system are under way. During the month of June about 250,000 cubic yards of material were deposited in the fill from perity which will follow active work upon constructions of the exposition buildings. It is estimated that as soon as the work of the exposition is under full way, some 17,000 men will be employed within the exposition grounds. "All this getting ready for such an undertaking must be done slowly and with the utmost care if miscalculations are to be avoided and no back steps taken. Every step has been difficult to men who, although they embrace many of San Francisco's ablest business men, have, with but one exception, been inexperienced in exposition affairs. But everything has been done with deliberation and care; and so wisely that it meets the approval of the experts. It is easily true today that no previous exposition has been so far advanced at so early a date." THE COUNTY'S EXPENSES Auditor's Annual Statement Gives Some Interesting Figures County Auditor Lester has prepared a statement showing expenditures of the county for the fiscal year ending July 1, 1912. The items as they appear in the following are totals, which include salaries and all other expenses.

Working plans for the fresh water system and the fire protection system are under way. During the month of June about 250,000 cubic yards of material were deposited in the fill from the dredgers "John McMullen" and "Oakland." During the present month material has been deposited at the rate of about 20,000 cubic yards per day. The work of constructing a sea-wall has been completed and the contractors have about completed the fill they have been making between Buchanan and Webster streets. Bids have been called for the filling in of lands in the Presidio and adjacent thereto, and these are to be received next Friday. Bids for the construction of a fence about the exposition grounds are to be received the same day. Up to the present day 75 buildings have been moved from the exposition site at Harbor View. Laborers under the direction of John McLaren, landscape engineer of the exposition are now preparing trees for planting and the water supply system for the nursery has been installed. Bids will be received on July 23rd for the construction of three green houses, one potting house and the heating plant in the Presidio. The committee also reports that the city authorities have passed the necessary resolution to close the streets within the site of the exposition until January 1, 1917. Mayor James Rolph, Jr., Rt. Rev. William Ford Nichols and John Brisben Walker, director of exploitation of the exposition, have accepted the invitation extended by the mayor of Victoria and the Victorian citizens committee to accompany the "Flying Legion" of the exposition on its trip to Victoria on August 22nd. The committee planning this important excursion to the Northwest has decided to limit the number in the party to 100 as accommodations can only be made for that number.

The call was received at 11 o'clock at night and at 8 o'clock the next morning the Frankfurt, with our fellow-townsman on board arrived at the scene of the tragedy. The survivors were just being taken aboard the rescuing vessels, six of which had come up during the night. When it was found that the vessels could give no further help, the Frankfurt continued on her way. Mr. Syre visited friends and relatives at his old home on the Rhine.

Now that Luther Burbank has agreed to join the distinguished party it is expected that President David Starr Jordan of Stanford University and President Ide Wheeler of the University of California will participate. Plans are under way for the reception and entertainment of Japan's commissioners, who are due here later part of this month. Japan will be the first foreign nation to select its site for participation in the 1915 Universal Exposition, and the ceremonies on that occasion promise to be exceedingly impressive. Fifteen states have already selected their sites for participation in the Panama-Pacific International Exposition, and within the next three months at least 17 more states will dedicate their sites. Governor Judson Harmon of Ohio and his commission will arrive in this city in the early part of September to select a site for Ohio's state building. The Ohio society of California and the officials of the exposition are formulating plans for the entertainment and reception of Governor Harmon, and it is expected that at least one thousand former residents of the state of Ohio will participate in the site-selecting ceremonies on the occasion of Governor Harmon's visit. Director of exploitation, John Brisben Walker, of the exposition, in an interview yesterday discussed the progress of the exposition and said: "The history of no exposition has been marked by such rapid work as that which has followed the official recognition of the city of San Francisco by act of congress. It will not be but a short time until San Francisco will begin to reap the period of prosperity." Thomas B. Talbert, of Huntington Beach, chairman of the Orange county board of supervisors, was married at Compton on Wednesday of last week to Miss Madge Crum at the home of her parents in that town. The bride was formerly a teacher in the Huntington Beach Union high school and her many personal charms of character have won for her many warm friends and admirers. Mr. and Mrs. Talbert will spend their honeymoon at various seaside resorts, and on their return will make their home on the groom's fine ranch at Huntington Beach. HIGHEST FIGURES FOR SOUTHERN PRODUCT FRUIT BRINGS FANCY FIGURES AT NEW YORK CITY AT AUCTION SALE A CARLOAD OF VALENCIA ORANGES AVERAGE $5.90 PER BOX Placentia oranges continue to lead in the Eastern markets, and fetch the highest prices. The Placentia Mutual Orange Association, Monday received a telegram announcing the sale of a carload of their fruit in which their fancy grades were sold at public auction at 10 o'clock in New York City at prices ranging from $4.13 to $7.15 per box, the average being $5.90 per box. This is the highest record price for the season so far. The Placentia Mutual Orange Association led the market in the prices received last season until November 27 their Shamrock brand brought $9.28 per box in the New York auction market, $1.50 per box higher than received by any other shipper during the season. Chapman's "Old Mission" brand capped the climax a short time after by the unheard-of price of $17.25 per box. Twenty-five boxes brought $431.25, 13½ cents for each orange—the highest MINUTES OF WATER BOARD Proceedings of Saturday's Meeting as Reported by Secretary Wallop Anaheim, Cal., July 20, 1912. A regular meeting of the Board of Directors was held on the above date with all members present except Directors Hale and Bradford. Minutes of the last regular meeting were read and approved. Director Dwyer reported that the ditch committee had investigated the complaint of Mr. Vernon in regard to the ditch on Mrs. Chowning's property and found it in very bad shape, and that the property owners had agreed to come before the board with a petition agreeing to pay one-half the cost of replacing the present open ditch with a pipe line. The committee was given more time. On motion of McFadden, seconded by Dwyer, Joe Wagner was given permission to connect the Sullivan pipe line with the main ditch of the company provided he pay the expenses of such a connection. Director Dwyer reported that P. H. Krick wanted the company to construct a ditch from the pipe line on Cypress street to his lots near the corner of Olive and Cypress streets. On motion of McFadden, seconded by Beazley, Mr. Krick was given permission to make the connection at his own expense, under the supervision of the company's superintendent. Jas. Adams appeared before the board and asked that the pipe line which connected his lots with the pipe line on Cypress street, be made larger. His request was referred to the ditch committee. The Placentia Mutual Orange Association led the market in the prices received last season until November 27 their Shamrock brand brought $9.28 per box in the New York auction market, $1.50 per box higher than received by any other shipper during the season. Chapman's "Old Mission" brand capped the climax a short time after by the unheard-of price of $17.25 per box. Twenty-five boxes brought $431.25, 13½ cents for each orange—the highest price ever paid for oranges. Placentia is known in the best markets as the best orange section in the world for the highest class of oranges grown. Our late Valencias are especially wealth-makers. Ripening in the summer and hanging on the trees till December without losing their color or quality, they reach the markets after the oranges of other sections are out of the way, and command fancy prices. Frostless, highly productive, with oranges ripening and being marketed the whole year round, Placentia is the peer of the famous orange districts of California. This section will also rise into equal prominence the next few years as a premier lemon district. The lands stretching off toward the foothills, particularly about Yorba Linda, are fast being planted to lemons, and will soon number several thousand acres. The Randolph Fruit Company shipped out four cars of lemons the past month, and there can hardly be said to be any acreage as yet old enough to be producing. The Randolph Fruit Company is also very busy shipping out choice oranges. Their pickers have not touched the top oranges, but are reserving the choicest fruit for late picking when top-notch prices are expected, as this is practically the only late Valencia district in the state this year. Their shipments are netting their growers from $2.10 to $2.30 per box. They guarantee $2.10 per box, and have been doing 15 to 20 cents better than this. They are shipping out only choice fruit.

The murderer is Francisco Ortiz. Ortiz was last heard of as he was headed toward Long Cypress street to his lots near the corner of Olive and Cypress streets. On motion of McFadden, seconded by Beazley, Mr. Krick was given permission to make the connection at his own expense, under the supervision of the company's superintendent. Jas. Adams appeared before the board and asked that the pipe line which connected his lots with the pipe line on Cypress street, be made larger. His request was referred to the ditch committee.

All Agents; 520-630 California Bu Pho REGISTER NOW FOR PRIMARY Registration Ceases August 3 for Election in September If you wish to vote at the September primaries you must register not later than Saturday, August 3, unless you have already registered since the first of the present year. Which leaves but little more than one week to get the names of no less than one-third of the voters on the great register, for County Clerk W. B. Williams estimates that hardly two-thirds of the voters have made registrations since the first of the present year. The primary election comes on September 3, so that the time for registration will close 30 days before, bringing he last day for getting names on the register, Saturday, August 3. Those not registered by that time will not be able to participate in the primary. There is much confusion in the minds of many of the voters as to the necessity of registering this year. The old registration was good for the special elections held during the spring months, but for the September primaries and the general election in November it is necessary that the voter register since January 1 of the present year. So that in compiling the great register for the primary election the clerk's office will consider only such names as have been placed on the register since January 1, 1912. CALLED TO DOOR—MURDERED Mexican Feud at Huntington Beach Results in Fatality Enrogio Hernandez died at the Santa Ana hospital Monday morning as the result of a bullet wound inflicted Sunday night about 8:30 o'clock at Huntington Beach. The murderer is Francisco Ortiz. Ortiz was last heard of as he was headed toward Long Beach. Hernandez and Ortiz have been in trouble before. City Marshal Vincent heard that there was bad blood between the two men because of a quarrel over Hernandez's wife. Vincent was told by a white man that Ortiz had turned his revolver over to him to keep. Vincent asked for the revolver, but the man refused to give it to him. Later Ortiz, who had been drinking, returned, got the revolver and went to Hernandez's house. Hernandez was called out, and as he stepped from the door of his house Ortiz fired. The bullet cut through the man's liver and intestines. Hernandez was brought to Santa Ana, but an examination soon showed that there was no hope for him. He died about 10 o'clock Monday. The shooting was witnessed by Hernandez's wife and daughter. They were the principal witnesses at the inquest. “What made Mr. Chuggins buy an automobile?” “His wife persuaded him by calling his attention to the economy of having gasoline on hand to clean gloves with.” NEW SEAL HAS 48 STARS The House of Representatives is to have a new great seal.

On motion of Dwyer, seconded by Sherwood, the president and secretary were authorized to sign a warrant in favor of Harold S. Cook Company for the amount. A communication received from Attorney Keech in regard to the decision of the supreme court in regard to putting underground the open ditch on West Washington street, Santa Ana, was placed on file. A communication was received from Thos. B. Welch in regard to an open ditch near lot 3, block 17, Yorba Linda tract, was placed on file and the secretary instructed to notify Mr. Welch that the board had agreed to pay one-half the cost of piping this ditch, provided the property would present a petition agreeing to pay the other half. The question of taking out insurance on the employees of the company was referred to Attorney Keech who agreed to send copies of the various laws to each of the directors. Mr. J. N. Ninno appeared before the board and complained of the condition of the main ditch in front of his property. Mr. Ninno admitted that he had intentionally broken in about 30 feet of the ditch which was cracked, and agreed to pay part of the repairs. On motion of McFadden, seconded by Beazley, the board agreed to furnish the material and pay for the labor necessary to repair 60 feet of the ditch if Mr. Ninno would do all the hauling of cement, gravel, tools, etc., to and from the job. Mr. Ninno accepted the proposition of the board. On motion the meeting adjourned. WM. T. WALLOP, Secty. A SHORT STORY “What seems to be the matter with him?” asked the doctor, approaching the bedside of the man who lay swathed in bandages. “He found the gas leak,” briefly explained the nurse. minds of many of the voters as to the necessity of registering this year. The old registration was good for the special elections held during the spring months, but for the September primaries and the general election in November it is necessary that the voter register since January 1 of the present year. So that in compiling the great register for the primary election the clerk's office will consider only such names as have been placed on the register since January 1, 1912. The primary law is a little vague as to the matter of registration for the primary election, but it has been held by the best attorneys that as the primary election requires the same machinery as a general election, and is in fact preliminary to a general election, the same law would apply—that is, that an entire new registration must be made. Thus the ruling that persons who have not registered anew this year cannot participate in the primary. CALIFORNIA FARED WELL By Appropriations For Harbor Improvements in Rivers and Harbors Washington, July 23.—With all the California items safely tucked in, the House this week adopted the conference report on the Rivers and Harbors bill. As the Senate has already acted, the bill now goes to the President for his signature. Largest among the items now finally assured for California are $327,250 for the dredging of the outer Los Angeles harbor, $200,000 for improving Monterey harbor and $130,000 for Oakland harbor.
