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 reported he had interviewed the stockholders who had petitioned for a pipe line in the Yorba Linda district and the ditch committee recommended that their proposition be accepted. On motion of Hale, seconded by McFadden, the proposition was accepted and referred to the ditch committee. Director Beazley reported that the pipe line which crosses Chapman avenue in Fullerton was below the grade and as a result the water overflowed the open ditch on the Carpenter ranch. This was referred to Director Beazley and the superintendent. Director Dwyer reported he has investigated the damage reported done by water to the property of E. Borchert on the night of December 30, 1912, and found that one of Mr. Borchert's hedge trees had blown into the ditch and caused the overflow. He informed Mr. Borchert that the company would not be responsible for damages as long as the trees were allowed to remain where they are, and that Mr. Borchert had dropped his claim. Director Dwyer reported he had investigated the damage to Mr. Cordes' hay and found 24 bales slightly damaged for which Mr. Cordes should be allowed $30.00. He stated he had taken the hay home and would allow one-half the damage for same.

Charles Schneider appeared before the board and asked that he be allowed $9.75 for work he had performed on the company's ditch near the Anaheim cemetery. This was on motion of Hale, seconded by Bradford, referred to Director Dwyer with power to act. A. E. Morlae appeared before the board and stated he had pit No. 2 down 112 feet and that he would like a check for the amount due him, $240.00.

Applications on file for transfer of stock were on motion granted. Director Beazley stated that Gus Stern would pay one-half the cost of a 12-inch pipe line along the front of his place on Orangethorpe avenue, and that Mr. Stern would like to know what the cost would be. This was referred to Director Beazley with power to act. Director McFadden presented a profile of the proposed pipe line on Caroline avenue and Palm drive, Placentia, and after it had been inspected it was moved by Hale and seconded by McFadden that it be referred to the ditch committee for readjustment. A communication was received from the Amalgamated Oil Company, stating they were making arrangements to sell gas produced on the Amalgamated lease and wanted to know if the Anaheim Union Water Company would be willing to accept one-eighth of the amount so received in lieu of royalty.

It will in all probability be an interesting election as there is likely to be some spirited contents in some of the precincts. In the Newbert protection district directors are to be elected in precincts 1, 2, and 4, the terms of N. H. McCuistion of Huntington Beach, W. N. Ward and R. H. English having expired.

A communication was received from the Amalgamated Oil Company, stating they were making arrangements to sell gas produced on the Amalgamated lease and wanted to know if the Anaheim Union Water Company would be willing to accept one-eighth of the amount so received in lieu of royalty. It was moved by Sherwood and seconded by Dwyer that the Anaheim Union Water Company accept the money in place of gas, provided the contracts be so drawn that they can be cancelled on from 10 to 30 days' notice, and the secretary was instructed to notify Mr. Wootan to that effect.

The IN AND ABOUT COUNTY Pleads Not Guilty Francisco Ortiz pleaded not guilty to a charge of murdering F. Hernandez at Huntington Beach last July, and his trial was set for February 10, taking the place of a civil action set for that date. Asks For Letters Public Administrator Winbigler has petitioned for letters of administration on the estate of Henry Hetiker, the old indigent who was burned to death in his shack west of this city last week. The estate consists of carpenter's tools worth $5 and 18 chickens worth $7.50. F. C. Spencer is attorney for the petitioner. Two Japanese Are Caught Immigration Inspector Harry Blee last week took into custody two Japanese who came into this country illegally. Since the men had on shoes made at Mazatlan, Mex., it is thought they came from that place. One of the men was armed with a big revolver and the other had a ruge razor. Blee took his prisoners to Los Angeles. They may be deported. Two Men Claim Beans A dispute over the ownership of 125 sacks of lima beans in the Irvine warehouse has found its way into the superior court in an action brought by Harry Jessup against J. P. Skinner and the Irvine Company. Jessup says the beans are his, and Skinner says they belong to Skinner. The 125 sacks of beans weigh 10,000 pounds and are worth $529.42. Fullerton City Well a Good One Three stratas of water have been struck in the first city well being drilled for Fullerton's municipal water check to Shields endorsed it on the back with the name "F. J. Poole," writing the name in the upper left hand corner in very small characters, the endorsement being scarcely legible. Shortly after the transaction, Shields became suspicious that all was not right and called in Constable C. E. Jackson and told him the story and showed the check. Jackson at once telephoned to Stanton and learned that no such man as Poole was known there. Jackson went to Los Angeles and found that no such man as the signer of the check given to Shields had an account there, and also found that another check bearing the same signature and endorsed by F. J. Poole had been sent in from Pasadena, and that both checks were bogus. The man who gave Shields the check is described as of medium height, thick-set and apparently about 30 years old, smooth-shaven and dressed in dark-colored clothing. Shields cancelled his order to ship the goods purchased by Poole and so saved that much out of the possible loss. Stanton Townsite Officials The first annual meeting of the stockholders of the Stanton-City Improvement Company, owner of the townsite, was held last week. Directors were elected as follows: P. A. Stanton, John N. Anderson, Otis Birch, F. C. Beecher, R. Healthy Myers, J. J. Prendergast and Dr. T. C. Myers. The directors met immediately after the stockholders meeting and elected the following officers: P. A. Stanton, president; Dr. T. C. Myers, vice-president; F. C. Beecher, secretary and general manager; Orange County Trust and Savings Bank, treasurer. An aggressive policy for the ensuing year was decided upon. The report of the office on Cotaint's light hand. Two Johns of the index finger were none. The entire finger will have to be amputated. The little finger of the same hand was burned off to the first joint, and the remainder of the finger may be saved. The ball of the thumb was severely burned, but no part of the thumb will have to be taken off. The other fingers of Cotaint's right hand are severely burned. The palm of the hand was also badly burned. It is impossible to tell as yet what the result will be, as there is no way to determine how much of the flesh will resist the burn. There is a possibility that the hand will have to be amputated. Fullerton Buys Site For Hall A lot, 75 by 150 feet, on North Spadra, just north of the Christian church property in Fullerton, has been purchased by the city trustees from Stern & Goodman for a city hall site. The consideration is reported at $2,500. The fire house and later on a new city hall will be erected there. The purchase is considered a good investment. The room now used by the city in the Fullerton Improvement Company building will, when vacated by the city, be divided into offices, for which there is a good demand. New Hydros on the Bay Ralph A. Newcomb is setting up a Wright hydro-aeroplane at the East Newport garage, which he will try out on Newport Bay. Newcomb rode across the continent from San Francisco to Pebble Beach, Fla., with Robert Fowler, and afterward purchased the machine which he has equipped with two pontoons, the combined weight of which is only 147 pounds. Glenn L. Martin brought back another hydro-aeroplane made up of parts of the one A dispute over the ownership of 125 sacks of lima beans in the Irvine warehouse has found its way into the superior court in an action brought by Harry Jessup against J. P. Skinner and the Irvine Company. Jessup says the beans are his, and Skinner says they belong to Skinner. The 125 sacks of beans weigh 10,000 pounds and are worth $529.42. Fullerton City Well a Good One Three stratas of water have been struck in the first city well being drilled for Fullerton's municipal water works. The well is now down 355 feet and the drill is in gravel and boulders and a fine stratum of water bearing sand. The well will be drilled down into the clay about six feet. Well No. 2 is down 125 feet and struck water at 105 feet. The wells are to supply water for the municipal system. Santa Ana River in Government Report How power can be developed upon many surface streams and used to recover the water of these streams after it has sunk into the earth in the lower valley lands is illustrated in a government report, by the case of the Santa Ana river. A part of the water of this river is stored in a reservoir in the San Bernardino mountains, thence diverted through a power plant where electric current is generated, then diverted through another power plant, then distributed and used for municipal and irrigation purposes at Redlands and Highlands. Springs, flowing wells, and pumping plants run by electric power from upstream recover the water for use in irrigation about San Bernardino and Riverside, and later a part of it reappears in the river above Riverside Narrows. Here it enters a power ditch, and returns to the stream at Corona, to be further down distributed by canals to the orange and deciduous groves near Anaheim and Santa Ana. Part of the water sinking into the soil by this irrigation is again taken out by flowing wells and pumping plants west of Santa Ana. In a distance of 100 miles this water is used eight times for either power or irrigation. Celery Crop Turning Out Well Indications are that the celery crop of Orange county did not receive such a severe set-back from the recent frost as was at first thought. G. W. Moore, manager of the Celery Growers' Association, states that the product is turning out far better than was at first expected. He says that about two-thirds of the crop remains to be shipped, and that the prices being received are from 30 to 50 cents a dozen. Charles Johnson, secretary of the Celery Growers' Association, states that while none of the crop was killed byitors were elected as follows: P. A. Stanton, John N. Anderson, Otis Birch, F. C. Beecher, R. Halthy Myers, J. J. Prendergast and Dr. T. C. Myers. The directors met immediately after the stockholders meeting and elected the following officers: P. A. Stanton, president; Dr. T. C. Myers, vice-president; F. C. Beecher, secretary and general manager; Orange County Trust and Savings Bank, treasurer. An aggressive policy for the ensuing year was decided upon. The report of the officers showed that during its first year of existence several miles of street were graded and oiled, cement walks and curbs laid, a municipal water system installed, electricity, a telephone service, a postoffice, an up-to-date department store, a lumber yard, garage, machine shop, blacksmith shop, livery stable, newspaper and beet dumps all established. Projected enterprises include a bank, with safe deposit vaults, rural delivery, direct from Stanton, warehouses and a general farm implement store. Fingers Burned Off To the fact that two of his fingers burned partially off, A. L. Cotant of Tustin owes his life. He took hold of a live wire, fell and lay on the ground unconscious with an electric current passing through his body. When two fingers of his right hand were partially consumed, the connection was broken. Squires, blacksmith at Tustin, was quite a way off from Cotant when he saw Cotant fall. Squires ran to the fallen man, but before he reached him the two fingers had been burned, the wire loosened and the current no longer passing through Cotant's body. He was unconscious about five minutes. Cotant, who is a field deputy for County Assessor Sleeper and a well known citizen and rancher of Tustin, lives at the corner of Glenn and First streets. In that vicinity a number of trees were blown down, and wires of the Southern California Edison Company and two telephone companies were brought to the ground. The Edison company turned off its street circuit at Tustin and it is not known from what source the juice came that was in the wire picked up by Cotant. There were a number of wires on the ground, and it is thought a cross circuit at some other point had loaded the wire touched by Cotant with heavy voltage. The electrical men who arrived after the accident stated that it was the greatest wonder in the world that Cotant was not killed. No one knows how great the voltage was. Cotant was helped into the house and a hurry call sent for a physician. It was found that the worst burns were New Hydros on the Bay Ralph A. Newcomb is setting up a Wright hydro-aeroplane at the East Newport garage, which he will try out on Newport Bay. Newcomb rode across the continent from San Francisco to Pebble Beach, Fla., with Robert Fowler, and afterward purchased the machine which he has equipped with two pontoons, the combined weight of which is only 147 pounds. Glenn L. Martin brought back another hydro-aeroplane made up of parts of the one destroyed near San Pedro on December 21, while Martin was in search of Kearney and Lawrence. The engine in the new machine was saved from the wreck but most of the framework had to be built anew. Martin has his shop on Balboa Island in which he will experiment with a self-starting device nearly completed and work has been started on his school near the South Coast Yacht Club, at East Newport. Brea Canyon Oil Field On the Brea Canyon Oil Company's lease, well No. 11A is down 2,300 feet with 12-inch casing. This hole has gone down through oil sand since a depth of 80 feet was reached, and experts predict that the well will be a gusher. No. 12A, on the same lease, is down 1,975 feet, with 9% casing, and is in "hard-shell" oil sand, but is not showing up as good as No. 11A. It is believed, however, that it will make a good producer. The company is pumping 27 wells, with an output of over 40,000 barrels per month. It has a rig up for No. 28 and is getting material for No. 29. The Birch Oil Company, on the old Menges lease in Brea canyon, is drilling four wells. No. 8 is down over 3,500 feet and is about ready to come in. No. 5 has been drilling for over three years. At one time it was down 2,900 feet, but "went back" when the tools and casing were lost in the hole. It is again down 2,500 feet. On good authority it is reported that the output on this lease is between 80,000 and 90,000 barrels per month. The General Petroleum Company has been drilling on two wells over six months and has one hole down about 3,000 feet. It is using the rotary with fair success. The Union is not drilling in Brea canyon, but is pumping about 17 wells. Over $500 worth of water pipe, on top of the ground in the Brea canyon district, burst on account of the cold weather. Mix-feed is made from wheat shorts, cracked corn and crushed barley.$1.35 per sack of 80 lbs. Put up especially by Olive Mills。 Indications are that the celery crop of Orange county did not receive such a severe set-back from the recent frost as was at first thought. G. W. Moore, manager of the Celery Growers' Association, states that the product is turning out far better than was at first expected. He says that about two-thirds of the crop remains to be shipped, and that the prices being received are from 30 to 50 cents a dozen. Charles Johnson, secretary of the Celery Growers' Association, states that while none of the crop was killed by the frost, yet the outside stems were so badly frozen as to necessitate trimming them off, thereby making the bunches smaller, and taking more bunches to fill a crate. Mr. Johnson says that if the weather is favorable from now on, the celery will recuperate swiftly and will sprout anew. There has been no celery shipped from the county for some time. The celery association shipped 13 cars last week, consigned to the Eastern markets. That was the first shipment since the freeze. Last year at this time growers were receiving about 35 cents per dozen bunches, while the association is now getting from 35 to 50 cents, which is considered very good. Check Swindler at Santa Ana W. N. Shields, proprietor of the Richelieu paint store at Santa Ana, is lamenting the untimely departure of a smooth stranger who called himself F. J. Poole, who called on Shields and purchased a bill of goods amounting to $8.00 and paid him with a bogus check for $33.00, receiving the balance in coin. The man said he lived at Stanton and was a painter, and ordered the goods bought from Shields sent to Stanton. He was particular about the immediate shipment of his purchase, as he said he wanted the paint to use on work he had already under way. The check was drawn on the Los Angeles Savings Bank, and was signed "H. E. McDonald" and made payable to F. J. Poole. The man who gave the up by Cotant. There were a number of wires on the ground, and it is thought a cross circuit at some other point had loaded the wire touched by Cotant with heavy voltage: The electrical men who arrived after the accident stated that it was the greatest wonder in the world that Cotant was not killed. No one knows how great the voltage was. Cotant was helped into the house and a hurry call sent for a physician. It was found that the worst burns were $68.75 PROFIT IN ONE DAY That is what Elson of N. Dakota writes. Bryant of Colorado made $6.00 in six hours.

It contains some potash, phosphoric acid and nitrogen which still further increase its value.—U. S. Government Bulletin No. 77, page 19. Manufacture of Beet Sugar Lime It is made of the finest grade lime stone, burned at the sugar factory under their own supervision. It is taken from the kiln and while hot put into a large revolving cylinder (slacker) where water is run upon it and thoroughly slacked, then run over screens, the impurities drawn off, it passes into a mixer where it is thoroughly stirred and finally pumped to the filtering presses. After having performed its main purpose of filtering the sugar syrup (in which it absorbs the remaining plant food—Nitrogen Phosphoric acid and Potash) it is run into large pits 6 to 10 feet deep each of about ten acres in area, where it settles the water draining off leaving the dry lime in a most porous condition, easily handled—pulverizing of its own accord.
