BOARD OF TRADE TO AID STATE COMMISSION (Continued from page 1.) ward the construction of the bridge until a protection district was formed and steps taken to curb the river's meanerings. It is planned to put in a 450-foot concrete bridge over the river between this city and Olive, a movement which has been much agitated of late in some circles. Mr. Ahlborn suggested a tax of 10 cents per acre for funds to set piling about a mile north of the bridge. This was shown to be illegal by Mr. Mills, who said that a tax only upon the assessed valuation was the only legal way of doing it. The Garden Grove Chamber of Commerce discussed the matter of a protection district at its last meeting, and Chairman Lake of that body said to Mr. Ahlborn before Monday night's meeting that his associates were opposed to the forming of a protection district, as such a procedure would seem to indicate to strangers coming into this county that their lands are liable to be washed away at any time. A committee was appointed to investigate the matter and make a report at the next meeting. J. W. Duckworth reported that he had had a talk with Bob McKee and that gentleman had been in conversation with Supervisor Schumacher, who had suggested that he would be pleased to have two gentlemen appointed by the Board of Trade to make an investigation into the condition of the roads in this section, pick out the worst ones. STATE WILL ATTEMPT TO CUT LIVING COST To Go Into Commission Business—Other Proposed Bills Reduction of the high cost of living by bringing the farmer and consumer closer together is the aim of a bill to be introduced by Assemblyman D. W. Tulloch, of Oakdale, Stanislaus county, for the creation of a State produce exchange. The bill proposes the creation of a commission of five members who shall maintain at least two offices, one in San Francisco and another in Los Angeles, and shall have power "to organize, manage, control and carry on the business of receiving on consignment, selling and shipping to dealers and consumers within or without the State of California, all agricultural, horticultural, dairy and farm products manufactured or processed therefrom, which shall be grown, produced or manufactured within the State of California." All producers within the State of any of the above items will have the right to consign their products to the commission for disposal. The commission's duty is to receive, care for, and as far as practicable preserve, sell, dispose of and distribute all produce of every nature consigned to it to the best possible advantage. The commission is empowered to rent or acquire receiving stations, warehouses, machinery, horses and wagons and other necessary supplies. The bill also contemplates the establishment of a bulletin service similar to that maintained by the United States Department of the Interior, to adyise farmers as to the condition of crops, the acreage planted to different varieties of product, and price forecasts.

BOY SCOUT TO BE HE County Executive Banner to F the Mo Santa Ana, Editor Gazette: DEMENTED MAN THINKS HIMSELF SAVIOUR Says World Is Coming to End, Burns Down House at Brookshurst Seated upon a stove which remained after the building which housed it had been destroyed by fire started by his own hands, Neils Olsen, a Swede, aged 25 years, was on Friday morning placed under arrest by Officer Germann on a charge of insanity. The man claimed to be Jesus Christ, but added that he could not raise the whiskers. People passing the place early Friday morning, had been frightened by the queer actions of the man, and J. O. Reed telephoned officers here at noon Friday that a crazy man was out in the neighborhood. Officer Germann procured an auto and went to the scene. He found Olsen sitting on a stove in the remains of the burned house, mumbling to himself. He did not look up for a time and Germann spoke to him, at which time the man raised his head, but said he did not desire to talk. Upon being further addressed he arose and started to walk away. He was detained and placed under restraint. He said that the world was coming to an end on Saturday and everything was going to be burned up so he thought he might help things along by burning the house whose smoking ruins lay around the Savior but had not as yet raised every nature consigned to it to the best possible advantage. The commission is empowered to rent or acquire receiving stations, warehouses, machinery, horses and wagons and other necessary supplies. The bill also contemplates the establishment of a bulletin service similar to that maintained by the United States Department of the Interior, to adyise farmers as to the condition of crops, the acreage planted to different varieties of product, and price forecasts. The commission is empowered to impose sufficient fees to make its work self supporting. An appropriation of $200,000 is asked for the installation of the system. The salaries of the commissioners are fixed at $6,000 each per year; an attorney at $4,000, and a secretary at $3,600 specified, and provision made for the appointment of all necessary clerks and inspectors. The bill was originally prepared by J. H. Penfield, principal of the Turlock High School for submission to the electorate by initiative at the time of the last election. Twenty thousand signatures to the petition placing the bill upon the ballot were obtained, but the time limit expired before the requisite number had been obtained. Other bills in course of preparation include one by Fitzgerald of Oakland for the establishment of public comfort stations in all towns and cities of more than 1,000 population, the State to bear one-third the expense. The bill carries an appropriation of $50,000. The rejuvenation of the old district fairs will be attempted by Wall of Stockton, in a bill providing for State supervision of a circuit of not more than ten exhibits to begin in the northern part of the State two weeks before the State fair and continue south. An appropriation of $5,000 per fair per year will be asked. The thousands of itinerant laborers in the State who lose their votes by frequent changes of residence are promised relief by Assemblyman Harry Polsley of Red Bluff, Tehama county, who will introduce a bill permitting railroad men, lumberjacks and others to vote with short residence qualifications.

He did not look up for a time and Germann spoke to him, at which time the man raised his head, but said he did not desire to talk. Upon being further addressed he arose and started to walk away. He was detained and placed under restraint. He said that the world was coming to an end on Saturday and everything was going to be burned up so he thought he might help things along by burning the house whose smoking ruins lay around the Savior but had not as yet raised the Savior but had not as yet raised the whiskers. He was placed in the automobile and taken immediately to Santa Ana, where he was put in a padded cell. He said that he was known in Los Angeles, and it is thought that he had been under restraint there for insanity. The house burned by Olsen Thursday night was a three-room structure belonging to Dr. Blake, and was situated west of this city about two miles. He was examined yesterday as to his sanity and ordered sent to the lunatic asylum at Patton. E. A. Day was in town Monday morning from his orange ranch on the eastside. Mr. Day has been in all sorts of winter weather since 1886, and says that last week's frost visitation was the worst he ever experienced. However, he adds the amount of damage done is less than anticipated a week ago, and with the resultant increased price for fruit, growers will not be so hard hit after all.

It is not believed Bombela will hang, as evidence has been gathered concerning his case, which may ultimately bring him a parole. Saiz is in for life, having been convicted of murder in the first degree. He is a tractable prisoner, and gives the prison officials no trouble. Peabody and MacDonald were school teachers and were each sentenced to 25 years on conviction of felonies perpetrated against young lady pupils. In common with many other prison officials, Madden has a soft heart toward the men placed behind the bars for crime. He says the history leading up to many crimes is not accurately gone into, and that many of these men are punished so severely that it seems almost out of reason. He also says a man is occasionally "jobbed" into the penitentiary, and he seems to give all these fellows the benefit of the doubt. While a brave officer, he carries within him a heart as large and soft as a school girl.

ANAHEIM GAZETTE WRECK ON SANTA FE Engine Driver Killed When Train Left Rails Near Sorrento A special train bearing the Sacramento Supervisors and others going to San Diego to arrange for exhibits at the exposition, left the track one mile north of Sorrento on Sunday afternoon. Fred Gilnes, the engineer, was killed, and Fireman A. T. Moir and Brakeman S. S. Smith were injured. All lived in San Diego. Moir's condition is critical. Smith is not seriously hurt. Gen. I. G. Martine, formerly of the California militia, was thrown to the floor of the car in which he was riding and was rendered unconscious, but revived and was able to assist himself. Other passengers escaped with a shaking up. The cause of the wreck is not known. Some of those on the train think that a truck was derailed as they felt the cars bumping for some time before the shock came. Santa Fe officials say the wreck occurred on one of the best pieces of track on the line. The Sacramento Supervisors and Exposition Commissioners left the capital yesterday afternoon, the party numbering about 50. At Los Angeles their cars were to have been attached to the regular morning train from that city to San Diego, but came as a special because of the delay.

Editor Gazette: So many boys and parents of boys are interested in the Boy Scouts and are interested to know just what is planned for them in this county, that I would like to take this method of bringing before them and others the plans. The executive committee of the Boy Scout Council met recently and voted to offer a banner to the patrol of Scouts which gained the most points in a series of monthly contests, the first of which is to be held Saturday, February 1 at the Lincoln school athletic grounds in Santa Ana. Any boys who are now members of a Boy Scout patrol or who are intending to join one as soon as they can, are eligible to enter this meet. Any one who does not understand the work of the Boy Scouts of America is urged to purchase a copy of the handbook of boys from Mr. G. S. Thacker, the treasurer of the council, who has agreed to turn any profits from their sale into the treasury of the council. The work as planned for the next few months is as follows, subject to slight modifications as occasion may require: During January a study should be made of Chapter I of the handbook for boys, learning the Scout laws, also study be made and some practice given in camp cooking with the simplest of cooking outfits. Scout masters are free to put in any other subjects deemed advisable. A study should also be started of the stars and the boys trained to recognize the principal stars and constellations. More attention should be given to this during the following month when it will be a part of the monthly competition for the banner. The competition for the banner will consist of cooking the camp dinner over a bonfire, reciting the Scout laws, a knot-tieing contest, and handling in a list of the good turns done by the members of the patrols. There will also be some athletic features, the pull-up, the potato relay race, and some other relay races. Information about some of these will be found on page 320 of the handbook of the scouts. Points will be awarded for these contests and the patrol winning the most points will be entitled to carry the banner home and keep it there. MYSTERIOUS GRAVE PROVES TO BE HOAX Mound of Earth in Catholic Cemetery Brings Coroner Here A fresh mound of earth in the Catholic cemetery, denoting that a new-made grave might have been made, was reported to Father Dubbel some days ago. The reverend gentleman could find no record of any burial at that point. At head and foot of the mound geraniums had been planted. The matter was reported to the county coroner. Officials at Santa Ana at first supposed the mound covered the last resting place of a Mexican who was thought to have been murdered at Westminster two weeks ago. A number of Mexicans at Westminster engaged in a fight, and a resident of that town informed Sheriff Ruddock that at daybreak the following morning he saw several Mexicans carrying the body of a man away from the house in which the fracas had occurred. Officers immediately repaired to the scene but could find no trace of a dead man. Mexicans were questioned relative to the fight, in which several shots had been fired but they returned their usual evasive answers. A thorough search was made of several Mexican houses in the neighborhood, but no evidence of a murder was obtained. When the mound in the cemetery was discovered it led to the belief that the man supposed to have been murdered had been buried there. On Monday Father Dubbel, in company of Coroner Winbigler, Undertaker Terry and Under Sheriff Law visited the cemetery. The mound was cleared away, when the hoax was made apparent. No grave existed there, and the mound was probably made by some person eager to perpetrate a joke, which, under the circumstances, was more or less grewsome. Reports yesterday from the west side states the mound was undoubtedly the work of Grewe, the demented man, who Sunday evening dug open his father's grave. SAN BERNARDINO ORANGE SHOW In Spite of Adverse Weather Growers Will Make Great Exhibits of Citrus Fruits After listening to reports from almost every fruit growing district in this part of the State, the executiveANAHEIM WINS ONE-SIDED GAME Defeats a Los Angeles Nine by a 16 to 4 Score One of the most uninteresting and lop-sided exhibitions of the great national game of baseball ever witnessed by the Anaheim fans was pulled off Sunday afternoon on the local diamond, the Huntington Hotel team, of Los Angeles, being the slaughtered party. The game was prolonged until the shades of darkness began to close over the field and the spectators, with a few exceptions, had left for their homes, and the score at the end of the ninth inning was 16 to 4 in favor of the locals. The only ripple of interest exhibited by the fans after the first inning demonstrated the small calibre of visitors was the crippling of Chillie Fisher in the sixth, a pitched ball curving inward and striking him on the jaw. He was semi-unconscious for a few minutes, but finally revived sufficiently to walk to an automobile and was taken home, his place on second being filled by Little. Aside from an abrased skin, a swollen face and a few loose teeth, he was subsequently pronounced uninjured. Mensenkamp and Gerken, the old-time battery, were in the points for Anaheim and did splendid work. Al striking out two men the first and three the second inning. Valle was in the box for the visitors with Crandall behind the bat. Valle retired at the end of the fourth inning after eight runs had been made off his delivery. A youngster from the bench, whose name the scoreman failed to get, was substituted and did good work until he became nervous after hitting Fisher. After that he was over-cautious and every ball that passed over the plate was hit. The game was full of errors, especially on the part of the visitors. Some of the players showed high-class, but there were several weak spots in the line-up, and many of the runs were the result of fumbled balls or dropped flies. Pete Wisser umpired the game and managed it with his usual impartiality. Next Sunday, if the weather is propitious, it is promised a different game will be witnessed as a team of big league players, which is wintering at the beach, has been engaged for an exhibition game. It will probably not will consist of cooking the camp dinner over a bonfire, reciting the Scout laws, a knot-tieing contest, and handling in a list of the good turns done by the members of the patrols. There will also be some athletic features, the pull-up, the potato relay race, and some other relay races. Information about some of these will be found on page 320 of the handbook of the scouts. Points will be awarded for these contests and the patrol winning the most points will be entitled to carry the banner home and keep it for one month. During February the work should be largely in preparation for the monthly contest which will be held in either Anaheim or Orange on Saturday, March 1. The features of this contest will be a star and constellation naming contest, a list of good turns done during the month, compass games, and another contest on the Scout laws. The athletics for February will consist of the standing and the running broad jumps, and the push-up, as referred to on page 320 of the handbook. This outline of the first two months' work in the Boy Scouts ought to be sufficient to give an idea of the class of work done by the Boy Scouts. Those desiring to start patrols of Scouts should write us soon, as the earlier the work is started the greater chance there will be of a group winning the banner. Yours truly, ROBERT J. HAMILTON, Scout Commissioner. NOTICE TO WALNUT GROWERS We have a few tons of the best walnut fertilizer which we will sell at wholesale prices rather than carry it over.

SAN BERNARDINO ORANGE SHOW In Spite of Adverse Weather Growers Will Make Great Exhibits of Citrus Fruits After listening to reports from almost every fruit growing district in this part of the State, the executive committee of the third National Orange show unanimously agreed that there will not be the slightest deviation from the plans for the show as originally outlined. The show will be held, larger and more beautiful than ever, in this city, February 17 to 22. There is an abundance of the finest fruit in every district yet available for making exhibits, in spite of the adverse weather conditions of the past few days. Not a single cancellation of space has been made and on the contrary many sections have already sent in word that they will be on hand with even a better display than they had originally planned to make. Following the report that the fruit men are standing solidly behind the show, the committees have taken up their work with renewed energy and San Bernardino and the fruit growers will demonstrate to the world that they are equal to any emergency, and will make the third National Orange show worthy of the great citrus industry which it represents. The great fruit exhibit tent, built especially for the National Orange show, is now en route from the manufacturers, and the indications are that every foot of space in the two great tents will be occupied by exhibitors. PRATER DIED FROM WOUND Sank Steadily After Battle in Which He Received Fatal Wound From a wound received in the bloody battle at Tomato Springs on December 16, Alexander A. Prater died at Santa Ana on Sunday night. He was employed on W. H. Cook's ranch at Myford on December 15, when a desperado believed to have been Ira Jones of Vida, Ore., attacked Miss Myrtle Huff, aged 16, after he had tied her sister, Jessie, aged 13, to a fence. Prater joined in the search for the scoundrel, and was among those who tracked him into the foothills. From a rocky mound on a ridge the outlaw opened fire with a rifle and killed Under Sheriff Robert Squires, and wounded Deputy Sheriff J. F. Stacy. The lion-hearted Prater wanted to rush the outlaw alone, but was dissuaded. He was a member of a party that went to the side of the fallen Squires, hoping to move the body.

Prater was one, a rifle ball entering his right temple and coming out above his right eye. The other was William Culver, blacksmith at Myford. Culver was shot through the right knee and amputation of the leg will be necessary. As the desperado was rushed and killed, Prater was being taken to the hospital. In a few days his mind became a blank, and gradually he sank until last night when he died. He began work on Cook's ranch a year ago, coming here from Texas. His father lives at Katemcy, Texas.
