STATE HIGHWAY GOES THROUGH ANAHEIM EFFORTS OF COAST BOULEVARD IERS TO DIVERT ROAD UNAVAILING HIGHWAY COMMISSION PAYS NO ATTENTION TO PLAN TO PLACE ROAD ON ROCKY COAST LINE The State Highway Commission has decided to construct a long lateral of the state highway trunk line, reaching from San Diego to El Centro, and linking the Imperial Valley with the ocean and the main trunk road to Los Angeles and the north. State Highway Engineer A. B. Fletcher has been ordered to make a survey by the commission and in accordance with this, W. L. Clark, engineer of the seventh division, who recently completed the Orange county survey, will have surveyors working out of San Diego this week. The order to the highway engineer regarding this survey by the highway commission is as follows: "That the highway engineer be and hereby is instructed to cause the survey, plans and estimates to be made of the road in San Diego county, beginning at the easterly limits of the city of San Diego and extending to the Imperial county line via La Mesa, El Cajon, Bostonia, Alpine, Descanso or PROTEST AGAINST SEWER FARM West Orange Citizens Object to Unscientific Disposal of Sewage West Orange citizens are protesting vigorously to the city trustees or Orange against the maintenance of the city's septic tank and sewer farm, which they allege is a nuisance and a menace to the health of the community in which it is located. These complaints were formally placed before the city board at an executive meeting of that body this week by a delegation of twenty or more of the West Orange ranchers. They alleged that the stench arising by reason of the septic tank and sewer farm is at times insufferable. The city trustees, having received previous complaints, had sent Health Officer Domann to investigate. He was accompanied by County Health Officer Wehrly. Dr. Domann reported that in the daytime no very noticeable odor could be detected beyond the immediate vicinity of the place. He later made a trip there at night and then reported that the odor was noticeable for a distance and that the condition should be remedied. The city trustees are considering means of locating the trouble and correcting it. The city engineer, street superintendent, and sewer inspector, Bonebrake, Dalton and Buchanan, were sent to this city to investigate the scientific manner of sewage disposal and compare conditions with those at the Orange sewer disposal plant. Members of the board state that they believe that the septic process in the tank is complete, and that the odor, which is analyzed as hydrogen sulphide, is notorious only when a fog blankets it. INSPECTOR FERTILIZATION STATE OVER 50,000 TONS ARDS OF DURING PURCHASES SHAME EXCEPT TERED COUNTY No dealer or moths who have certified from the University and their authorized sell fertilizers in person or company have any registration number connection with the filing the registration number has been issued son or company number has been right to give any o The route will be about 129 miles between El Centro and the east limits of San Diego. A stretch 20 miles long between Dixie and Devil's canyon will be the first of the state highway work through desert conditions. The road will leave the mountains eastward from Devil's canyon, which is 34.2 miles from El Centro. From Los Angeles to El Centro on the state highway when completed, by way of San Diego, the distance will be 257.3 miles. The distance through the Banning-Beaumont pass to El Centro is 233 miles. The state highway from Los Angeles into the Imperial Valley will leave that city on the Whittier road, pass through Fullerton, Anaheim, Orange, Santa Ana and San Juan Capistrano, then following the coast through Oceanside and Del Mar to San Diego, all as a part of the main trunk line. The lateral will continue out through El Cajon Valley and La Mesa through 95 miles of mountainous country into the Imperial Valley with a terminus, for the present at least, at El Centro. Attemps of coast boulevardiers to have the state highway pass along the rocky coast line have been finally turned down by the state highway commission. The state commission has not given the coast road a thought. A considerable portion of this road has been improved by the county of San Diego at a cost of $200,000, and the citizens of San Diego have raised $50,000 additional for the road improvement. This work will be utilized by the state highway commission, although in some sections the grade may be improved to keep it within 6 per cent and deviations which may affect the maintenance will be determined by the survey.

The city engineer, street superintendent, and sewer inspector, Bonebrake, Dalton and Buchanan, were sent to this city to investigate the scientific manner of sewage disposal and compare conditions with those at the Orange sewer disposal plant. Members of the board state that they believe that the septic process in the tank is complete, and that the odor, which is analyzed as hydrogen sulphide, is noticeable only when a fog blankets it to the ground and prevents its escape into the upper air. The water which leaves the septic tank clear, can only be deodorized, it is said, by running through charcoal filters. A plan for connecting with the Santa Ana system is under consideration if the objection to the sewer farm cannot be overcome otherwise. It is stated that Santa Ana would consider the proposition, as that city disposes of its septic tank water for irrigation purposes at a profit. The city trustees have been served with a notice by the state board of health to discontinue allowing the water not used on the N. H. Leonard ranch to run into the river. Mr. Leonard is under contract with the city to care for all water discharged from the septic tank. PIXLEY HIGHWAY COMMISSIONER Supervisors Appoint Orange Man to Succeed Burnham D. C. Pixley, of Orange, was last week appointed by the Board of Supervisors a member of the county highway commission, filling the vacancy caused by the resignation of M. H. Burnham. Pixley is one of the most substantial men of the county, and a man in whom everyone who knows him has the utmost confidence. He was a member of the Board of Supervisors when the court house was constructed. There was filed with the board a petition, signed by 459 residents of the north end of the county, asking that the supervisors appoint B. F. Porter of Fullerton to take Burnham's place. This petition came too late for consideration, as the appointment had already been made. The supervisors set January 8, 1913, at 11 o'clock as the time for opening bids for the purchase of the $1,270,000 good roads bonds that have been voted in this county. Each bidder must accompany his bid with a certified check for 3 per cent of the amount of the bid.

Three of the seven Republicans, Nolan, Bell and Stephens, affiliate with the Progressives. The tabulated vote by districts is as follows: First—William Kent, Progressive, 20,-841; Edward H. Hart, Republican, 10,585; I. G. Zumwalt, Democrat, 18,756; Joseph Bredsteen, Socialist, 4892. Second—John E. Raker, Democrat, 23,-467; Frank M. Rutherford, Republican, 10,178; J. C.

Twenty-four hours each day, 7 days each week, 52 weeks each year always on the job. The Home Telephone Co. pervisors appoint B. F. Porter of Fullerton to take Burnham’s place. This petition came too late for consideration, as the appointment had already been made. The supervisors set January 8, 1913, at 11 o’clock as the time for opening bids for the purchase of the $1,270,000 good roads bonds that have been voted in this county. Each bidder must accompany his bid with a certified check for 3 per cent of the amount of the bid. Assessor Sleeper asked the supervisors to reach a decision as to whether or not any old soldier or old soldier’s widow who failed to make affidavit of tax exemption previous to this time can now come in, make affidavit and secure a rebate of taxes. Sleeper said the law exempts the property and sets no time at which the affidavits must be in, and he believed the exemption should be given at any time requested. The matter was referred to the district attorney. G. E. Pillsbury, chief engineer of the Pacific Electric, held a conference with the board in regard to the proposed franchise for the Pacific Electric on North Main street for 300 feet north of the city limits. County Surveyor McBride thought the Pacific Electric should designate now whether the road will be single or double track. No change was made in the franchise, which allows the Pacific Electric to use either a single or a double track. Sheriff Ruddock was allowed to employ a motorcycle officer for two months at $110 per month,the officer to furnish a machine. Mr. and Mrs. Rudolph Fossek were blessed by the arrival of a 9-pound son at their home in Los Angeles last week.Mother and child are doing well,and “Sprock” continues to hold down a responsible position on a city daily.Grandpa Fossek is still on the water wagon and now holds the honorable distinction of having four grand children. INSPECTION OF FERTILIZERS BY STATE BOARD OVER 50,000 TONS USED IN ORCHARDS OF CALIFORNIA DURING YEAR PURCHASES SHOULD NOT BE MADE EXCEPT FROM REGISTERED COMPANIES A bulletin issued by the Agricultural experiment station at Berkeley, comprises results of the fertilizer inspection work of the California Fertilizer Control for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1912. According to the sworn returns of dealers registered for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1911, their entire sales in the state amounted to 49,764 tons. Nearly complete returns for the year ending June 30, 1912, indicate sales of over 50,000 tons. No dealer or manufacturer, except those who have certificates of registration from the University of California, and their authorized agents, can legally sell fertilizers in this state. No person or company has any right to use any registration number except in connection with the firm name to which the registration certificate of such number has been issued; and no person or company to whom a registration number has been assigned has any right to give any other person or company permission to use said register. No dealer or manufacturer, except those who have certificates of registration from the University of California, and their authorized agents, can legally sell fertilizers in this state. No person or company has any right to use any registration number except in connection with the firm name to which the registration certificate of such number has been issued; and no person or company to whom a registration number has been assigned has any right to give any other person or company permission to use said registration number, and any number so used is a fraud. No agent has any right to use his principal's registration number in connection with his own name. During the year 636 samples of fertilizers and fertilizing materials have been received at the laboratory. Of this number 40 were sent by farmers under the two-dollar fee provision, 208 were taken by inspectors from purchasers' goods upon the request of the purchasers, and 296 were taken by inspectors from goods in the hands of agents and manufacturers. On 29 samples the analysis as reported was used as a basis of settlement by mutual agreement of buyer and seller. No guaranty was required or given with goods sold under such agreement. The calculations of the commercial values of the fertilizers reported are made on the so-called unit basis. Such calculations consist simply in multiplying the number of per cent of each ingredient by the price per unit and adding the products. The sum thus obtained is the commercial value per ton at the prices used. If it is desired to use such a calculation for determining the amount which should be paid for goods, or the rebate to which the buyer is entitled owing to the goods delivered being below the guaranty, it can only be satisfactorily done if a definite price per unit has been agreed upon between buyer and seller. But for the mere purpose of showing the relative values of goods to guaranties, it is not at all necessary that the prices adopted should be the exact market prices. Thus it is that the Fertilizer Control in attempting to show the relation between values found and values claimed, uses a schedule which is admittedly only as approximate average of market values. Owing to market fluctuations, differences in cost of delivery at different points, and other causes, the obtaining of true average market prices is an impossibility. But if the reader will bear in mind the true purpose of the valuations reported, these will have served their turn and he will not be led to assume that the experiment station is dictating the prices at which goods shall be sold. tween values found and values claimed, uses a schedule which is admittedly only as approximate average of market values. Owing to market fluctuations, differences in cost of delivery at different points, and other causes, the obtaining of true average market prices is an impossibility. But if the reader will bear in mind the true purpose of the valuations reported, these will have served their turn and he will not be led to assume that the experiment station is dictating the prices at which goods shall be sold. It cannot be too frequently pointed out that the commercial value and the agricultural value of fertilizers is in no way related. The choice of the kind of plant food to be purchased should be based on a knowledge of the needs of the particular crop and soil to be treated. Only after this is decided should the cost of the fertilizer be considered, when the particular kind of fertilizer supplying the ingredient desired should be selected according to its agricultural availability and cost. The elimination from the schedule of estimates of the commercial value of insoluble phosphoric acid and of fine and medium bone and tankage make it necessary that consumers pay particular attention in the analytic reports to the figures for availability and fineness. Heretofore the use of such valuations has reflected the inferiority of goods of low availability and fineness in the calculated value per ton. This is not the case under the present schedule, hence the importance of buying and insisting on receiving goods of high availability and degree of fineness.
