FLAT SALARIES FOR COUNTY OFFICERS NEW BILL INTRODUCED IN STATE SENATE MAKES SOME VERY RADICAL CHANGES PAY OF OFFICIALS TO BE REDUCED, DEPUTIES TO BE PAID OUT OF TREASURY Senator Anderson has introduced two county government bills into the legislature. The first, known as the temporary bill, provides for several changes to take place 90 days after the adjournment of the legislature and to remain in effect until the first Monday in January, 1915. The second bill, known as the permanent bill, will go into effect on the first Monday of January, 1915. The permanent bill also aims to put most of the county officers upon flat salaries. That is, the principal shall be paid a certain sum in compensation for his own work, and shall be given enough additional help in the way of deputies to run the office, it being intended that he need not spend any of his salary for the maintenance of his office. In following out that plan radical changes are proposed in the offices of the clerk, sheriff, recorder, and assessor, and the offices of treasurer and tax collector are to be consolidated. The measure takes the fixing of the salary of the stock inspector out of the duty at $1,200 a year, and nine field deputies to serve four months at $130 each, with $400 for office help. The permanent bill provides a salary of $2,500 for the assessor, and gives him no additional help. At present the assessor uses part of his $3,500 to pay office help. The district attorney's office gets the same provisions in the permanent bill as given in the temporary. That is, $2,500 for the district attorney, $1,200 for a deputy, $720 for a stenographer and $300 a year for the employment of another deputy. The last two items are in addition to the provisions now in effect. The district attorney says he can get no good from the help proposed by the temporary bill, as he cannot legally accept it. The new measure makes no changes in the offices of coroner and public administrator, which are on a fee basis; gives the superintendent of schools $2250 a year as now and a deputy at $65 a month, as provided in the temporary bill; leaves the surveyor on a per diem of $8 makes no changes in the compensation of justices of the peace, constables, supervisors and jurors. ROAD BONDS OFFERED FOR SALE Highway Commission Authorizes Issuance of Securities For Roads The advisory board of the State engineering department has authorized the sale of another lot of State highway bonds amounting to $400,000. Where the bonds will be marketed is doubtful. For the $400,000 sale of bonds authorized last month the board has two offers on file. The offers come from banks in Los Angeles county, but in each case there is a condition that the highway commission agree to spend the money for new roads within the county limits. To this proposition the study begins at Laguna Beach. ASSOCIATED CHAMBER MERCE INDORSE MARINE LABOR LEW WALLACE PUTS IN HIS OA TO OCEAN H A biological and geography, which, it is declared students of these schools over the West, to be guna Beach, was endowed by associates Chambers of Orange county at a Orange Wednesday evening. The plan of Pomona establishing such an institution as plained by President Monica. He stated that had been maintained over years, and that for research in both unequalled. He said decided to found a per school, to be conducted structors, and that he cause of the excellent presented, that she come the Mecca of veneration. He said that there are institutions in the county prominent one on the that he did not doubt. The only other changes to be made by the temporary bill are to add a court clerk for the new court at a salary of $1,200 a year, a new bailiff to the office of the sheriff at a salary of $1,000 a year, two field deputies to the office of assessor at a total cost of $1,040 per year, to add $500 per year to the expense money allowed the tax collector; a stenographer at $720 per year and to add $300 a year for attorney hire for the district attorney's office, and to raise the salary of the deputy superintendent of schools from $50 a month to $65, it being understood that she shall continue to draw $10 a month as librarian. At present the county clerk gets $3,250 a year, from which he pays whatever help the office needs in addition to the help of one court clerk. For months past the clerk has employed a stenographer. The permanent bill provides a salary of $2,200 a year for the clerk, provides a $1,200 deputy for each superior court and a stenographer at $75 a month. As now, seven and a half cents per name will be paid deputies who register voters outside the clerk's office. At present the sheriff gets $4,000 a year and pays his under-sheriff and stenographer. The new bill provides a salary of $2,500 for the sheriff, allows him a $1,000 deputy for each court, and a stenographer at $500 a year. It seems that at first it was proposed to suggest $900 a year for the stenographer, but that would run the total salaries of the office $400 above what is now paid, so $400 was taken off the stenographer's proposed salary. In addition, the office gets a jailer at $1,000 a year, as now. The sheriff will be allowed such mileage and fees as allowed now. As recommended by the county central committee, the measure will take the recorder's office off of a fee basis. The bill proposes $2,000 a year salary, and provides three deputies, two at $75 a month and one at $60, as recommended by the central committee. At present the recorder gets $1,500 a year The advisory board of the State engineering department has authorized the sale of another lot of State highway bonds amounting to $400,000. Where the bonds will be marketed is doubtful. For the $400,000 sale of bonds authorized last month the board has two offers on file. The offers come from banks in Los Angeles county, but in each case there is a condition that the highway commission agree to spend the money for new roads within the county limits. To this proposition the advisory board is agreeable. It expects other banks to put up enough money to buy the next $400,000 worth on the same terms. The opportunity is open to any county in the State. So far State Treasurer Roberts has succeeded in disposing of $2,000,000 worth of bonds. In December last he had about arranged for the sale of the whole issue in London when the Balkin war diverted the money. NEW PIANO AGENCY C. T. Webber Opens Salesroom on West Center Street For Display of Musical Instruments C. T. Webber has had fitted up for his use as a piano showroom quarters in the Cassou building next door to Jensen's bakery and has had a number of pianos placed therein. Mr. Webber has made his home here and expects to build up a large piano business in the northern end of the county with Anaheim as a headquarters. In speaking to a Gazette reporter the first of the week, he remarked that he was a permanent fixture and intended to live here and trade here for the rest of his natural life. He has been in the piano business for 35 years, and knows all there is to be known about it. He has had offices in Los Angeles for some time but was forced by high rent to go to a smaller town, and, being very much impressed with Anaheim from many trips through here, decided to locate here, as offering him the best opportunity of any town near Los Angeles. He has moved here with his family and will be followed later by two sons, who are at present holding positions with large Los Angeles houses. Mr. Webber has the Orange county agency for the Emerson pianos and also has for sale the C. T. Webber & Son piano, which he patented and has built for himself exclusively. These are two standard lines of high grade musical instruments and Mr. Webber assures us they are among the best on the market and that he sells on any general years, and that we research in both law unequalled. He said he decided to found a per school, to be conducted structors, and that he cause of the excellent presented, that the state come the Mecca of w He said that there are institutions in the county prominent one on them that he did not doubt school is destined to be known one on the Pac He stated that Lennard provided a site for that $4,000 has been more is needed.

In addition, the office gets a jailer at $1,000 a year, as now. The sheriff will be allowed such mileage and fees as allowed now. As recommended by the county central committee, the measure will take the recorder's office off of a fee basis. The bill proposes $2,000 a year salary, and provides three deputies, two at $75 a month and one at $60, as recommended by the central committee. At present the recorder gets $1,500 a year salary and certain fees in addition, and pays his own deputies, which now number five. Cuts the Auditor The bill cuts the salary of the auditor from $2,000 a year to $1,800 and reduces the allowance for office help from $900 a year to $700. It is reported that a bill has been prepared to slice off $25 a month allowed for a statistician. This, however, does not appear in the county government act. Hitherto the $25 a month has been paid to a deputy in the auditor's office. The bill consolidates the office of treasurer and tax collector and prohibits the board of supervisors from separating those two offices. A salary of $1,000 a year is provided for this office as treasurer and $1,000 as tax collector, making $2,000 for the officer. In addition, deputies are allowed just as will be allowed under the temporary bill. There will be a deputy treasurer, as now, at $75 a month; one chief deputy tax collector for nine months at $75 a month, with $1,700 additional for office help. The assessor's office is cut $1,000 per year. That is there will be that difference between the annual salary total under the temporary bill and the total under the permanent bill. The temporary bill gives the assessor two additional field deputies. That means that under the temporary bill the assessor will get $3,500 a year, with a chief dep- STUDY BIOLOGY AT LAGUNA BEACH ASSOCIATED CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE INDORSE PLANS FOR MARINE LABORATORY LEW WALLACE OF NEWPORT PUTS IN HIS OAR ON OCEAN TO OCEAN HIGHWAY A biological and geological laboratory, which, it is declared, will attract students of these sciences from all over the West, to be located at Laguna Beach, was endorsed by the Associated Chambers of Commerce of Orange county at a meeting held at Orange Wednesday evening last. The plan of Pomona College in establishing such an institution was explained by President Blaisdell of Pomona. He stated that a summer school had been maintained at Laguna for several years, and that the opportunities for research in both lines of study are unequalled. He said it had been decided to found a permanent summer school, to be conducted by Pomona instructors, and that he felt certain, because of the excellent opportunities presented, that the school would become the Mecca of western students. He said that there are but few such institutions in the country, and but one prominent one on the west coast, and that he did not doubt that the Pomona inspectors be placed at packing houses was carried. The resolution is to be telegraphed to Senator Works. The next meeting of the associated chambers will occur in this city next month. THE ROSE SEASON Planting Should Be Attended to at Once We are now in the midst of the most active rose season, no matter from what angle we may view. All contemplated planting should be done as soon as possible. Dormant roses are better for immediate planting than those grown in pots, and will so remain for the next 60 days. After April 1st, unless we have a very late spring, it will be better to plant established bushes from pots. So, too, is this a pruning time, though in normal season such work should be done earlier. Tea roses need severe pruning, and as they are sometimes inclined to hug the soil the lower and down-tending branches should be cut out and the whole head of the bush thus lifted. In some gardens the Test-out roses require such treatment. The hybrid teas also require considerable cutting back, while the hybrid perpetuals need it least of all, though still needing thinning out and some heading-in. Roses succeed in a variety of soils and under widely varying conditions and treatment, though few will prove satisfactory in very light soils. Many roses are too much trifled with to produce really fine crops of blooms. Many garden owners give them a sprinkling every day and call it watering. Roses will endure, and probably relish a sprinkling each day if it be regarded as such, a short, forceful general spray to eral years, and that the opportunities for research in both lines of study are unequalled. He said it had been decided to found a permanent summer school, to be conducted by Pomona instructors, and that he felt certain, because of the excellent opportunities presented, that the school would become the Mecca of western students. He said that there are but few such institutions in the country, and but one prominent one on the west coast, and that he did not doubt that the Pomona school is destined to become the best known one on the Pacific. He stated that Laguna Beach had provided a site for a building, and that $4,000 has been raised and $4,000 more is needed. With the endorsement of the Chambers of Commerce it will be much easier to raise the remaining amount needed. After J. A. Cranston, of Santa Ana, A. J. McFadden and others had spoken in support of the project, a resolution of endorsement was unanimously passed. The business of the evening began after an excellent banquet. V. D. Johnson delivered an address of welcome to the 80 or more present, and H. B. Little of Huntington Beach, responded. Eighteen delegates of the 23 composing the organization answered roll call. President Zimmerman gave a brief report of his recent trip East, declaring that California and the coming expositions are the talk in all sections. A. S. Bradford reported that a committee had taken up the question of a defense of the citrus industry and had learned that Congressman Kettner is doing great work in behalf of the industry. A. F. Call, he said, recently returned from Washington and praised Kettner highly. Call said that Kettner was a fine "mixer" and was already close to Underwood. It has been practically agreed, he said, that the lemon tariff will be cut to 1 cent per pound, and that the orange tariff will be left as it is at present. J. A. Knapp reported that the booklet under preparation by a Santa Ana newspaper should not be endorsed to the board of supervisors. A resolution prepared by A. A. Mills and introduced by W. T. Brown, of Fullerton, endorsing the State highway commission's selection of a route from San Diego to El Centro as against the plan of the ocean to ocean highway promoters' plan for a State road from Banning to El Centro, was, on motion of Lew Wallace, tabled. Wallace being a coast line boulevardier, and opposed to the State highway along the inland route of Orange county, was not de- Roses succeed in a variety of soils and under widely varying conditions and treatment, though few will prove satisfactory in very light soils. Many roses are too much trifled with to produce really fine crops of blooms. Many garden owners give them a sprinkling every day and call it watering. Roses will endure, and probably relish a sprinkling each day if it be regarded as such, a short, forceful general spray to wash off dust and freshen the foliage. But this must not aim to replace a judicious watering once each week by irrigation. Either make generous basins about each bush and fill with water for at least a half-dozen times or use a continuous ditch system that will carry the water from one plant to another until all bushes have had a chance to drink from one to several hours. The duration of these weekly drinks must be governed somewhat by the age and size of the bushes, but principally by the nature of the soil; that is, its physical condition. In addition to frequent irrigations, roses need as frequent cultivations, though the latter need not be deep so long as it constitutes a stirring of the soil. Now for the kinds or sorts to plant. In whites, Frau Karl Druschski, White Killarney, White Cochet and Kaiserin Augusta Victoria are grandly true and tried in local gardens. In pinks we have Pink Cochet, Chatenay, Mad Lombard, Caroline Testout, Cecil Bruner, Double Killarney. In yellows are Perle Des Jardines, G. Nebonnand, Dr. Grill, Soleil D'Or, Harry Kirk. In reds we have Gen. McArthur, Lady Battersea, Ragged Robin, Rhea Read, and Etoile de France, where the latter does not mildew. All listed here are the very best of sorts, and should now be bought in a dormant state. Prices of roses are governed by quality; a good sort of good size is worth all it costs. KITTY MEASOR GOES TO JAIL Delhi Woman Who Sold Liquor Parts From New Husband at Jail Door Mrs. Joseph W. Leieritz began on Tuesday afternoon of last week serving a sentence at the county jail. She will not be recognized under that name except by those who know that Mrs. Kate Measor has become the wife of Joseph Leieritz, a well borer who gives Tustin as his residence and his age as 35. The marriage license was issued in Los Angeles. The woman's age is 45. Leieritz was a constant attendant at the two trials of Mrs. Measor, charged with selling liquor at Delhi. At both trials verdicts of guilty A resolution prepared by A. A. Mills and introduced by W. T. Brown, of Fullerton, endorsing the State highway commission's selection of a route from San Diego to El Centro as against the plan of the ocean to ocean highway promoters' plan for a State road from Banning to El Centro, was on motion of Lew Wallace, tabled. Wallace being a coast line boulevardier, and opposed to the State highway along the inland route of Orange county, was not desirous of saying a word in favor of routing the ocean to ocean highway through this county. Wallace is a coast line disturber, and will probably one of these days run across a man who will sit upon him severely. The motion to table the resolution passed on a roll call by a vote of 13 to 6. A recommendation to the county highway commission, that the first road to be built under the bond issue be the lateral connecting with River-side county through the Santa Ana canyon, was passed. President Zimmerman broached a plan which he believed would assure the county of a square deal at the hands of contractors bidding on the county roads. It was that a corporation be formed by residents of Orange county, that estimates of the cost of construction be made, and that bills allowing a liberal profit to the contractor, be submitted. He declared that in that way there could be no connivance among contractors to parcel out contracts and hold up the county. It was moved that a committee of three be appointed to investigate such a plan and report. The motion carried and Zimmerman, Wallace and Rutherford were named. An effort to secure an endorsement of a road from Bay City to Santa Ana as one of the first to be built failed by a vote of 12 to 6. A resolution asking that government Mrs. Joseph W. Leieritz began on Tuesday afternoon of last week serving a sentence at the county jail. She will not be recognized under that name except by those who know that Mrs. Kate Measor has become the wife of Joseph Leieritz, a well borer who gives Tustin as his residence and his age as 35. The marriage license was issued in Los Angeles. The woman's age is 45. Leieritz was a constant attendant at the two trials of Mrs. Measor, charged with selling liquor at Delhi. At both trials verdicts of guilty were brought in, and sentences were passed by Judge West. The appellate court affirmed the lower court's judgment, and on Saturday Judge West issued a commitment against the woman. She must serve two sentences, one for six months and the other for seven months. The woman was accompanied to the county jail this afternoon by her husband, who was present when Mrs. Leieritz was locked up. ROBINSON FILES REPORT Walter K. Robinson, recently appointed game warden for Orange county, has filed his first monthly report with the county clerk, in which is given details of his employment for the month. Robinson goes into the very heart of the matter in making his report and tells exactly what he was doing on each day he was at work, making the recapitulation refreshingly clear and readable. For instance, beginning with January 5th, the report says: "Patrolled Trabuca, Live Oak and Aliso canyons, en route to Santa Ana looking for a job." January 6—"Hung around the court house looking for a job." January 7—"Asked Supervisors to give me a job, but it was a cold day and I got left." January 8—"Weather moderate, Supervisors' hearts warmed up and they gave me a job."
