RIVER WATER IS USED EIGHT TIMES HOW FLOW OF SANTA ANA IS UTILIZED FOR POWER AND IRRIGATION EVENTUALLY REACHES ANAHEIM ORCHARDS AFTER SERVING PURPOSES UP-STREAM Power can be developed upon many surface streams and applied to the recovery of the water of the streams after it has sunk into the earth in the lower lands of the valleys. An instance of this character, according to the United States Geological Survey, in a report recently issued, affecting waters of the Santa Ana, is to be found along that stream. A part of the water of this river is stored in a reservoir in the San Bernardino Mountains and the flow of the stream is thereby regulated. After is escapes from the reservoir it is diverted through a power plant and electric power is generated. Below this power plant it is diverted and passed through a second power plant. Below this it is all distributed and used for municipal purposes and irrigation about Redlands and Highlands. The waters that return from the irrigation are recovered in springs and flowing wells and by pumping plants, a portion of the power developed higher up on the stream being used for the pumping. This recovered water is used for irrigation about San Bernardino and Riverside. FIVE YEARS FOR ROLL Judge West Gives Fatherly Advice to Youthful Burglar Five years in San Quentin was the sentence imposed by Judge West upon Charles Roll, pal of John D. Coleman, burglar, who was killed at Santa Ana on the night of November 21 by Deputy Sheriff George C. Law. "That is the limit under the charge brought against you," said Judge West. "You are fortunate indeed to get off that lightly. The officer would have been absolutely justified in shooting you." Roll was brought into court by Under Sheriff Squires. Deputy District Attorney Koepsel filed an information charging Roll with receiving stolen goods from John D. Coleman. Roll waived all time, pleaded guilty and asked for his sentence at once. The judge postponed sentence for half an hour, and spent the interim in looking over the transcript of the evidence taken at the inquest held over Coleman and of the transcript of the evidence taken at the preliminary examination. The judge questioned Roll at length concerning his parents, bothers, sister and occupation since he left his home at Washington, Ind., on October 17, 1911. He said he was 23 years old, and one reason for coming West was that he and his brother, who was with him, both had weak lungs. Roll stated that Coleman gave him the revolver that was in his possession the night they attempted to rob the house in Santa Ana, an attempt that was interrupted by Geo. L. Bates and Deputy Sheriff Geo. C. Law. Roll said that he was hiding close to the porch of Michigan to the entire United States, and to state that nearly 75 per cent of our population depends directly upon underground waters. plant and electric power is generated. Below this power plant it is rediverted and passed through a second power plant. Below this it is all distributed and used for municipal purposes and irrigation about Redlands and Highlands. The waters that return from the irrigation are recovered in springs and flowing wells and by pumping plants, a portion of the power developed higher up on the stream being used for the pumping. This recovered water is used for irrigation about San Bernardino and Riverside. A part of it reappears in the river above Riverside Narrows, where it is again taken out into a power ditch whose waters are returned to the river above Corona. A few miles below it is picked up by canals and distributed to the orange and deciduous groves about Anaheim and Santa Ana. The portion of it that returns there, by irrigation, to the ground water is once more recovered by the many pumping plants and flowing wells west of Santa Ana. A single drop of water in its progress from the mountains to the sea, a distance of only 100 miles, may thus be used as many as eight times for power and irrigation. Danger in Water Supply Over a large part of the country streams and rivers from the most available source of water supply, and in thinly settled regions they are usually free from contamination, although even here a tan-bark plant or sawmill may lessen the desirability of the water for domestic uses. Mines, especially coal mines, may likewise discharge into streams their drainage of acid and otherwise polluted waters with similar effect, but the most common source of pollution is the sewage from towns and cities. In fact, practically all the larger streams and even many of the smaller ones are highly polluted by such sewage or by refuse from various manufacturing plants. It is true that such streams become gradually purified and under ordinary conditions may be fairly safe, but the periodic outbreaks of typhoid fever that occur among the users of their water are sufficient to indicate the imperfect nature of this purification. Large cities without other accessible sources will doubtless continue to use river waters, but these waters are now, as a rule, scientifically filtered before distribution. On most farms, however, other and safer sources are available, and stream waters that are known to have received drainage or sewage from any source should not be used for drinking. Underground Waters a Vital Necessity Large cities without other accessible sources will doubtless continue to use river waters, but these waters are now, as a rule, scientifically filtered before distribution. On most farms, however, other and safer sources are available, and stream waters that are known to have received drainage or sewage from any source should not be used for drinking. Underground Waters a Vital Necessity The importance of underground waters to residents in humid sections is illustrated by the fact that 75 per cent of the population in Michigan are directly dependent for water upon the underground supply. Another investigation of 19 counties in north-central Indiana indicates the vital relation that ground water bears to daily life. Of 54 communities in these 19 counties having public supplies, 45 use wells alone and three others use both streams and wells. The urban population is therefore largely dependent upon the subsurface supplies, and the rural population depends almost entirely upon them. It is estimated that in Florida 750,000,000 gallons of ground waters are used daily for town and country domestic supplies, while an additional 11,500,000 gallons are used by the cities and 500,000,000 gallons for the irrigation of tobacco, citrus fruits, and vegetables. One-half of the irrigation and the greater part of the city supplies in Southern California, amounting to more than 300,000,000 gallons daily, are drawn from the sands and gravels that underlie the valleys, while in Central California a smaller but nevertheless important draft is made upon the same source. It is probable that it would be safe to apply percentages but slightly less than that determined in the State more than ten times that sum annually for manufactured articles—20 times that much, according to the estimates of a director of the Home Industry league. The object of the Home Industry league, as visualized in the exposition, is to have that billion dollars spent for California made articles, whenever possible and advantageous to the buyer, and to multiply the capital invested in California factories twenty or a hundred fold. Capital will invest in California manufacturing plants; capital will hire California labor, and when the supply of California labor is exhausted will bring labor from other states to stand at the bench and behind the looms; capital will develop California—if it will pay it so to do. Most men would sooner make a return on their investment in California than elsewhere. That is demonstrated, for as fast as men—wise men—make their fortunes in the east they come to settle in California. The object of the Home Industry league's exposition is to educate the people of California to use California products, to teach them that it will be mutually beneficial to build up California industries. The Home Industry exposition affords every proof that the best of goods can be made in California. "More tough luck," whispered his wife. "Well, what now?" he muttered. "You know Miss Green never sings without her music?" "Yes." "Well, she's brought her music." Kristine Reinhardt, Anaheim, Cal. Diplomed at the city of New York.

Center Street CHRONICLES OF ANAHEIM MANY YEARS AGO H. W. HELLMAN OF LOS ANGELES DRAFTED IN THE PRUSSIAN ARMY ARTESIAN WELL ON JOHN HANNA'S RANCH REACHES DEPTH OF 152 FEET (From Gazette November 19, 1870) During the late grape harvest, Mr. Chas. Rehm gathered from 40 to 50 pounds of grapes from each vine of the lot of White Hungarian Buttshears growing on his place. Sunday last several families en route for the new colony on the Bolsa, camped for the night in Anaheim. During the week four families passed through here, destined for Santa Ana Valley. About the usual weekly number of new stock of young people. Let us pray that Heaven avert so great a calamity. New Buildings — The warehouse building at the new Landing was erected during this week. C. A. Gardner has commenced the erection of a new house on his ten-acre lot in the environs of Anaheim. Work has been commenced on the new city jail at Anaheim. An additional warehouse is being built at Anaheim Landing. Mr. Calisher is about to commence the erection of a large new store on the corner of Center and Los Angeles streets. Another new building is being erected on Lemon street near the blacksmith shop. (From Gazette November 26, 1870) As Mothers Do—We were considerably amused the other day at three little girls playing among the sagebrush in the backyard. Two of them were "making believe keep house" a few yards distant from each other, neighbors as it were. One of them said to the third little girl: "There now, Nellie, you go to Sarah's house and stop a little while and talk, and then you come back and tell me, and then I'll talk about her, and then you'll go back deposit of gravel and boulders, which but lately gave such annoyance. The instrument is now penetrating fine gravel and sand with every prospect of water. On Wednesday the water raised three feet in the well. Mr. Hanna has been to a heavy expense in his efforts thus far. He has taken the chances to demonstrate the artesian well problem for this whole county. 'Tis true he has received a few grudgingly loaned dollars to aid the enterprise—dollars to be returned in case of success; but now the money is exhausted and the expense is too great for him alone. Now is the time to help this enterprise. If it has to be abandoned before water is struck, the effect upon this community will be very depreciating. Are we blind to our own interests? That is the question. Necessity for a Postoffice—In the large New River settlement, about 12 miles north of Anaheim, there is much need for a postoffice. The inhabitants there have now either to go to Los Nietos or come to Anaheim. A postoffice located upon the stage route near them, would be a great accommodation. Anaheim Water Power—We desire to call the attention of capitalists and During the late grape harvest, Mr. Chas. Rehm gathered from 40 to 50 pounds of grapes from each vine of the lot of White Hungarian Buttshears growing on his place. Sunday last several families en route for the new colony on the Bolsa, camped for the night in Anaheim. During the week four families passed through here, destined for Santa Ana Valley. About the usual weekly number of new settlers have taken up their abode in our city. Reliable information has been received here that H. W. Hellman of Los Angeles, who went on a visit to Germany about the breaking out of the war, is drafted in the Prussian army and is doing gallant service in the ranks. Michael Reese of San Francisco is also corralled, and is, it is said, awaiting his trial for desertion years ago before he came to America. It is thought that Bismarck will get about one million and a half of dollars from Michael for his habeas corpus, and it is estimated that that amount will maintain the Prussian army for just one day. Married—On the 17th instant, three marriages took place on the upper Santa Ana, mostly in the Borden' and Bush families and by which Wm. McFadden, Esq., was deprived of six of his larger scholars. The parties are all very young, but as the old folks started them out with lands and "stamps," they may maintain the lea shore of matrimony with tolerable success. The marrying fever is raging strongly on the upper Santa Ana with a tendency in this direction. If it should strike Anaheim it would no doubt entirely deprive us of our already too scanty As Mothers Do—We were considerably amused the other day at three little girls playing among the sagebrush in the backyard. Two of them were "making believe keep house" a few yards distant from each other, neighbors as it were. One of them said to the third little girl: "There now, Nellie, you go to Sarah's house and stop a little while and talk, and then you come back and tell me, and then I'll talk about her, and then you'll go back and tell what I say, and then we'll get mad and won't speak to each other, just like our mothers do, you know. O, that'll be such fun. Admitted to the Bar—On the 23rd instant, G. W. Barter, A. B., of Columbian College, Washington, D. C., and member of its law class of 67-68, was upon motion of Frank Ganahl, Esq., and upon due examination by a board of lawyers, admitted to practice law in the 17th judicial district court in the State of California. Health of Mr. Dreyfus—A private letter, received in this city from Ben. Dreyfus, Esq., at San Francisco, conveys the information that, after much suffering, he is now improving in health. Upon his arrival at San Francisco, it was discovered that his arm and shoulder had received fractures, a circumstance which entirely escaped the observation of our Anaheim physicians. Consequently he had to undergo a second and most painful treatment. Races—The races that were to have taken place on the race track near this city between horses owned by L. E. Smith and F. A. Goodrich, will take place at Sam Blands on Saturday next. The artesian well being sunk on the place of John Hanna, has reached a depth of 152 feet and is past the large Necessity for a Postoffice—In the large New River settlement, about 12 miles north of Anaheim, there is much need for a postoffice. The inhabitants there have now either to go to Los Nietos or come to Anaheim. A postoffice located upon the stage route near them, would be a great accommodation. Anaheim Water Power—We desire to call the attention of capitalists and manufacturers to the Anaheim water power, of which no use is being made at present. By a simple process of fluming we have a water power of large volumne, 60 feet fall, right here in the city. A large woolen manufactory or grain mill could be established upon it and run by its use at a trifling expense. This is a wool-producing county. Why can we not have a woolen mill?
