ARTESIA MEN ARE OPPOSED TO ANNEXATION DELEGATION APPEARS BEFORE SUPERVISORS ASKING PREFERENCE FOR LOS ANGELES NO ACTION WILL BE TAKEN BY ORANGE COUNTY UNLESS SECTION IS UNANIMOUS TO JOIN The proposal to annex Artesia and Norwalk to Orange county seems to be about as good as dead. Delegations from the Citizens' Association of Artesia and the Commercial Club of Norwalk appeared before the Board of Supervisors at their Wednesday's meeting and declared that the prevailing sentiment is against the proposition made to this county by Dr. E. A. Diehl and others a short time ago. The supervisors replied that this county has done nothing whatever in the matter and does not propose to do anything. The only condition on which the matter would be taken up would be a practically unanimous sentiment in favor of annexation. The petition presented by Dr. Diehl was roughly handled. G. R. Frampton, an Artesia banker, stated that about half of the signatures were secured in October, 1910. The big property owners were not asked to sign, probably for fear they would not sign. Frampton said that the citizens' association does not want to change conditions. James Hay of Norwalk, an ex-supervisor, spoke for the Commercial Club of Norwalk, saying that the movement was opposed by that club. The visitors were assured that this OFFERS FOR HOSPITAL SITE Supervisors Receive 16 Bids From Various Portions of Orange County The Board of Supervisors has received 16 offers of sites for the county poor farm and county hospital, for which $69,000 bonds have been voted, sold and accepted by the bond buyers. The money will be received from the bond buyers in about two weeks. The sites offered are from nearly all over the county, but most of them within a few miles of Santa Ana. The supervisors took the bids under advisement and for investigation. The supervisors reached an agreement with the Young Construction Company for the erection of the concrete bridge to be built on West Fifth street across the Santa Ana river. The contract was let to R. L. Hogue for $18,350. Hogue fell down on the contract. Negotiations were then taken up by the company with the Guardian Guaranty people, with the result that the county passed the necessary resolutions turning the work over to the Young Construction Company which offered to build the bridge for the actual cost of labor and materials plus 15 per cent. Should the expense exceed $18,350 the surety company will have to stand the excess. Dr. G. H. Dobson and Victor Walker as a committee of the Orange County Fish and Game Protective Association asked the supervisors to amend the county ordinance protecting shell-fish in such a manner as to protect mussels. The matter was referred to the district attorney. The petition of E. H. Henshaw to lay a pipe line across a county road south of Anaheim was granted. NITRATE DEPOSITS IN WEST Discovery of Prospects Which May Obviate Foreign Importation Nitrate of soda and nitrate of potash were imported into the United States in 1911 to the value of $17,117,- was roughly handled. G. R. Frampton, an Artesia banker, stated that about half of the signatures were secured in October, 1910. The big property owners were not asked to sign, probably for fear they would not sign. Frampton said that the citizens' association does not want to change conditions. James Hay of Norwalk, an ex-supervisor, spoke for the Commercial Club of Norwalk, saying that the movement was opposed by that club. The visitors were assured that this county had taken no action in regard to the matter. Frampton said Artesia might soon ask Santa Ana to aid in a movement to get lower passenger rates on the Santa Ana line of the P. E. S. M. Davis and A. A. Mills appeared before the board as a committee of the Associated Chambers of Commerce and asked that action be taken toward getting the railroad commission to take up an investigation of alleged discrimination in freight rates in which Orange county is the sufferer. The proper method for procedure was outlined, and on motion the action asked for was ordered. The county clerk was instructed to request the railroad commission to direct the district attorney of this county to take up the matter. The law requires that the matter be handled in that way. The county has larger freight bills to pay for oil than it ought. Supervisors Talbert and Leck spoke of this phase. It was pointed out that in many ways this county has higher rates to pay than Los Angeles. For instance, apricots shipped from here to San Diego direct cost $4.00 a ton freight. If shipped from here to Los Angeles and then to San Diego the freight is 80 cents per ton. A. A. Mills was before the board with an objection to the plans of the County Highway Commission. He got a courteous hearing, but it took mighty few words from Chairman Talbert to show that Mills appearance was untimely and a waste of time so far as the board is concerned. Mills said that the plans do not give the north end of the county as many miles of good roads as it ought to have in proportion to its assessment and raise in assessment. Assessor Sleeper was right on Mills' collar, understanding Mills to say that the north end of the county had been raised too much in comparison to the south end. "The oil wells have been raised 600 per cent, as was right," said Sleeper, "but I tell you that the agricultural and horticultural interests have not been raised one bit more in proportion to their value than the raises I gave The petition presented by Dr. Diem was roughly handled.

NITRATE DEPOSITS IN WEST Discovery of Prospects Which May Obviate Foreign Importation Nitrate of soda and nitrate of potash were imported into the United States in 1911 to the value of $17,117,068. Nearly all the nitrate imported comes from Chile and is used for fertilizing. This enormous expenditure for imported nitrates lends interest to a pamphlet just issued by the United States Geological Survey — "Nitrate Deposits," by Hoyt S. Gale (Bulletin 523). All the known occurrences of nitrate deposits in the United States are described by Mr. Gale, and though most of these are probably in the nature of "prospects" they are interesting and of importance as indicating the possible origin of deposits which can be mined commercially. Last year George Otis Smith, director of the Survey, and A. H. Brooks, in company with Mr. Gale, visited a reported deposit near Gerlach, Nev., where specimens of salts running high in potassium nitrate were obtained. Reference is made in the bulletin to areas most of the Western States where discoveries of these nitrates have been reported from time to time. The extreme solubility of nitrate salts renders it unlikely that concentrated deposits will remain anywhere except in places either not subject to or protected from the solvent action of rain, surface water, or moving ground water. Thus nitrate salts are found chiefly in caverns or caves, or under overhanging ledges, or, as in the Chilean and other South American occurrences, in a region of exceptional aridity. The assertion that none of the nitrate deposits of the character mentioned will prove commercially workable is, according to Mr. Gale, not warranted. Such deposits have proved to be of value under exceptional conditions, as when they were utilized for the manufacture of gunpowder, during war times, in the Eastern States; and it is entirely possible that changing conditions may render some of the western deposits valuable. It must be recognized, however, that so far as may be judged from present evidence, few if any of the deposits now known warrant much outlay for development as a source of commercial nitrate salts. A copy of the report may be obtained free on application to the District attorney. The petition of E. H. Henshaw to lay a pipe line across a county road south of Anaheim was granted.

We want to do what is best for the entire county. We draw no division line. This outline of roads has been laid out by the highway commission, with but very few suggestions from us, and I think it gives all sections a square deal. Anyhow, the plans are accepted, and we have called the election, and there is absolutely no way we could get the plans changed, even if we wanted to.” One bid was received for the $8,000 bonds of the Yorba Linda school district. That bid was the California National Bank, which bid par. The bid was accepted. County Recorder Peters’ leave of absence was extended to November 1. Bayele & Bayele were awarded a contract for building a bridge across the Trabuco creek near San Juan Capistrano. The bids were: Bayele & Bayele, $4,498; Westlake Construction Co., $5,670; Munoz & Munoz, $4,749; Mercereau Bridge & Construction Co., $4,578. GAME PRESERVE IN SHASTA Wild Turkeys Placed in Woods of Northern Country; Elk Next Thirty wild turkeys were received at Redding, Shasta county, on Saturday from the state game farm at Hayward. They were consigned to C. C. McCray, who has taken the lead in securing the wild birds for stocking Shasta county. The turkeys are of the Mexican variety, 20 hens and 10 gobblers. Warning notices have been posted all around their habitat, a fine of $50 being the prospective punishment for any hunter who kills one of the protected birds. It is anticipated that the turkeys will need to be provided with little if any food, for acorns and berries, as well as insects, will be made to supply their gizzards. McCray will now take up the matter of securing from the government 50 elk to be released in the county between the McCloud and Pitt rivers.

WATER BOARD IN ITS MONTHLY SESSION YORBA LINDA IRRIGATORS ASK FOR CONSTRUCTION OF PIPE LINE DITCH ON EAST SANTA ANA STREET WILL BE PIPED—FINANCIAL REPORT Anaheim, Cal., Oct. 5, 1912. A regular meeting of the Board of Directors was held on the above date with all members present. Minutes of the last regular meeting were read and approved. Director Bradford of the ditch committee reported that the committee had endeavored to see the stockholders in the Yorba Linda district in regard to the pipe line requested by them, but were unable to find them. Mr. Vernon, one of the stockholders, was present and stated he would take it upon himself to get the petition signed by all the stockholders who were interested in the pipe line. On motion of Hale, seconded by McFadden, the committee was given more time on this petition. The report of the finance committee was read and approved and warrants ordered drawn in payment of the various demands therein recommended. The reports of the treasurer, superintendent and secretary were each in turn received and filed. A communication was received from the Frank J. Kimball Company requesting the Anaheim Union Water Company to be on the lookout for the compressor, which is expected to arrear. TROUT FOR COUNTY STREAMS Santiago, Trabuca and Other Creeks to Be Stocked With Finny Delicacies The fish car from the hatchery is expected to arrive in Orange county on Tuesday, October 15th, according to information just received by Deputy Fish and Game Commissioner W. K. Robinson. It is the understanding here that Orange county will receive from 36,000 to 45,000 fish at this time, and that they will be distributed in the head waters of Santiago, Trabuca and San Juan creeks, each stream being stocked with from 12,000 to 15,000. These fish are young trout, and will serve to assist materially in re-stocking those streams. The acquisition of the fish is particularly gratifying and the boys are expecting a fine lot of trout later on. IT'S YOUR KIDNEYS Don't Mistake the Cause of Your Troubles — An Anaheim Citizen Shows How to Cure Them Many people never suspect their kidneys. If suffering from a lame, weak or aching back they think that it is only a muscular weakness; when urinary trouble sets in they think it will soon correct itself. And so it is with all the other symptoms of kidney disorders. That is just where the danger lies. You must cure these troubles or they may lead to dropsy or Bright's disease. The best remedy to use is Doan's Kidney Pills. It is for pills which are caused by weak or diseased kidneys. Anaheim people testify to permanent cures. Mrs. Fred Dyckman, 112 N. Lemon St., Anaheim, Cal., says: "For a long time I was subject to attacks of backache. Any work which required stooping, caused my back to pain me intensely and I was also afflicted with headaches and dizzy spells. I knew that my kidneys were disordered, as the kidney secretions were unnatural. A relative, who had used Doan's Kidney Pills with good results advised me..." The report of the finance committee was read and approved and warrants ordered drawn in payment of the various demands therein recommended. The reports of the treasurer, superintendent and secretary were each in turn received and filed. A communication was received from the Frank J. Kimball Company requesting the Anaheim Union Water Company to be on the lookout for the compressor, which is expected to arrive any day. On motion of Hale, seconded by McFadden, J. Schumacher, representing the Southern California Fence Construction Company, was given the contract to fence the reservoir at pumping plant No. 2. On motion of Dwyer, seconded by Hale, the superintendent was instructed to put in a 16-inch pipe line on the Mattie Taylor ranch. Applications on file for transfer of stock were, on motion, granted. A communication was received from A. E. Morlae and placed on file. The secretary reported that Mr. H. F. H. Schneider had complained of the water from the sugar factory being run in the ditch in front of his property, and he also reported that he had taken the matter up with the manager of the factory who assured him that this water had been forced into the company's ditch by one of the irrigators shutting off a valve without notifying the factory, and was not done intentionally. A communication was received from E. B. Merritt, city clerk of the City of Anaheim, requesting the company to pipe the open ditch on Santh Ana street between Olive and Melrose streets, and agreeing to pay one-half the cost of such work. On motion of Hale, seconded by McFadden, the proposition of the city clerk was accepted. A communication was received from Gus Stern complaining of the damage being done the Hansen property by waste water. This was referred to the ditch committee. An application for 500 feet of 12-inch cement pipe was received from S. S. Twombly, and the secretary was instructed to notify Mr. Twombly that it would be impossible to furnish the pipe on account of other work on hand. On motion of Dwyer, seconded by McFadden, the superintendent was instructed to raise the ditch on South Los Angeles street. On motion of Hale, seconded by Beazley, Mr. Sherwood was instructed to run lines from the Tuffee reservoir to the Kraemer ditch. On motion the meeting adjourned. WM. T. WALLCP, Sec.

COUNTY SEAT NEWS BRIEF Auto Overturns Injuring Occupants—Favors County Road Bond Issue Skidding off a road wet by rain, an automobile, owned and driven by E. T. Stoddard of Whittier, turned over and plumed Mrs. Stoddard and Mrs. W. L. Rideout of Whittier, under the car. Of the five occupants of the car, the severest injury was received by S. S. Rideout, a Michigan man visiting at Whittier. He had the ligaments of one ankle badly torn. E. T. Stoddard and his wife, Mrs. W. L. Rideout, Mrs. F. H. Rideout and S. S. Rideout were returning from a trip to San Diego when the accident occurred on the road between Tustin and Irvine, Friday night. Stoddard and Rideout were able to extricate the two women. Dr. J. P. Boyd was called. Mrs. Stoddard was badly bruised about the head and limbs, and Mrs. Rideout suffered cuts on her face and a slight sprain of her back. Civic bodies all over this county are preparing to make vigorous campaigns in favor of the passage of the proposed $1,270,000 good roads bonds for the improvement of 107 miles of Orange county's roads. The civic bodies seem to be fully satisfied that the bonds ought to be carried so that this county can get on the good roads map. The sentiment in favor of the roads seems of being among the ranchers, who use the roads more than any other class of people. The election is to be held on November 4, the day before the general election. The bonds were not submitted on November 5 for the reason that the district attorney feared that to do so would furnish a technicality that might invalidate the procedure. MRS. Fred Dyckman, 112 N. Lemon St., Anaheim, Cal., says "For a long time I was subject to attacks of backache. Any work which required stooping, caused my back to pain me intensely and I was also afflicted with headaches and dizzy spells. I knew that my kidneys were disordered, as the kidney secretions were unnatural. A relative, who had used Doan's Kidney Pills with good results, advised me to try them and I procured a supply at Muilinxix's Drug Store. I found prompt relief and after I had taken the contents of three boxes, I felt better in every way. I cannot speak too highly of Doan's Kidney Pills." For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.
