COUNTY SALARIES AS PROPOSED ARE LOWER BILLS NOW BEFORE LEGISLATURE MAKE RADICAL CUT IN MONEY PAID OFFICIALS COMPARISON WITH RIVERSIDE AND IMPERIAL COUNTIES SHOW HIGH WAGES PAID THERE County officials are comparing the new salary bill introduced by Senator Anderson and Assemblyman Weisel with the bills introduced in the Assembly by Assemblyman Ellis for Riverside county and by Assemblyman Moorhouse for Imperial county. The Riverside and Imperial bills have not the proposal for consolidating the office of treasurer and tax collector, which proposal is made in the Orange county bill. The officer who will hold the combined offices in this county will get a salary of $2,000 a year, if the provision as now proposed stands. Riverside pays its treasurer $3,000 and its tax collector $3,000. Imperial pays those officers $2,000 each. The Riverside and Imperial bills, if passed, will go into effect ninety days after the adjournment of the legislature. With an assessment of $13,000,000 less than this county, Riverside provides about $1,350 more for the running of the assessor's office than will be allowed under Orange county's temporary bill and $2,350 more than Assessor, $3,000 and traveling expenses; deputy, $1,500; stenographer, $900; stenographer, $720; office help, $1,000. Coroner—Fees in each county. Public Administrator—Fees in each county. District Attorney—Orange: District attorney, $2,500; deputy, $1,200; deputy, $300; stenographer, $720. Riverside: District attorney, $2,500; deputy, $1,200; stenographer, $900. Imperial: District attorney, $2,500; deputy, $1,800; stenographer, $1,200. Superintendent of Schools—Orange: Superintendent, $2,250; deputy, $780. Riverside: Superintendent, $2,400; deputy, $1,200. Imperial: Superintendent, $2,000; deputy, $1,000. Surveyor—Orange: Surveyor, $8.00 per diem; Surveyor, Riverside county, $1,500; two deputies at $900 each. Imperial: Surveyor, $1,500. Supervisors—Orange: Salary, $500 per year, with not over $600 per year each for road work. Riverside: Salary, $1,000 per year, with $5 per day additional for road work. Imperial: salary, $1,200. The Orange and Imperial county bills set $900 as the salary of the stock inspector. Imperial's bill allows three deputies at $300 each. The Riverside bill does not fix that salary, evidently leaving that to the Board of Supervisors. Other appointive offices are not touched by the Riverside and Orange county bills. Imperial's bill fixes the salary of the horticultural commissioner at $1,500, and the salary of the county physician at $1,200. IN AND ABOUT COUNTY Sent to Asylum George F. Boyd, of Orange, was on Riverside and Imperial counties have both endeavored to take the recorder's office off of a fee basis, as has also Orange county. The system adopted in those two counties is to give the principal a flat salary and one deputy, and to pay the copyists 5 cents per folio, by which method the amount of help in the office can be made to comply with the amount of work. The Orange county bill proposes a flat salary and three deputies, with no provision to meet the increase or decrease of the work in the office. The Orange and Imperial bills propose $2,000 salaries for the recorder, and Riverside $3,000. In several of the offices, Orange county's proposals would bring the salaries of the principals lower than in either of the other counties. Comparing the bills, it is found that the Orange county clerk is $200 under Imperial and $800 under Riverside, and the sheriff $500 under the lowest and the auditor $600 under. The supervisors of this county would be considerably under either county's supervisors. Supervisor Smith of Orange county, having no county roads in his district, can receive no more than $500 a year. At the most the supervisors can get but $1,100 a year. Riverside supervisors get $1,000 a year salary with a possibility and probability of $1,500 additional per year for road supervision. Imperial will pay its supervisors $1,200 for all duties performed. For comparison, the following is gathered from the permanent bill for this county and from the Riverside and Imperial counties: County Clerk — Orange county: Clerk, $2,200; one deputy for each court, $1,200 each; stenographer, $900. Riverside county: Clerk, $3,000; two deputies at $1,500; one deputy at $1,000. Imperial county: Clerk, $2,400; one deputy at $1,500; one deputy at $1,000. Sheriff — Orange: Sheriff, $2,500; one bailiff for each court, $1,000; Other appointive offices are not touched by the Riverside and Orange county bills. Imperial's bill fixes the salary of the horticultural commissioner at $1,500, and the salary of the county physician at $1,200. IN AND ABOUT COUNTY Sent to Asylum George F. Boyd, of Orange, was on Friday ordered committed to the insane asylum at Patton. Case Is Dismissed Dismissal by stipulation was entered Saturday in the suit of the County of Orange against Emma M. Colgan, an action to recover money expended by the county in fumigating an orange orchard at Tustin. Asks Judgment of $136.50 In an answer and cross-complaint filed last week, W. S. B. Lawrie asks judgment of $136.50 against the plaintiff, Perrylea Hart, who is suing him for $613.66. Mrs. Hart alleges that Lawrie sold land under a contract with her, and there is money due her. Lawrie replies that he paid out money under the contract, and there is now money due him. Bishop is attorney for Lawrie. Students Disturbers of Peace Professor J. W. McCormac, head of the Orange County Business College, had trouble Friday afternoon with two of his pupils, George Dorn and Oscar Schildmeyer, as a result of which he swore to complaints charging both with disturbing the peace. They were arrested and arraigned in the township court and their cases set for hearing on February 15th. Each gave bail in the sum of $25. Jenny's Short Leg Causes Lrouble Jenny Lind, a pretty Los Angeles telephone operator, formerly of Garden Grove, then a student at the Santa Ana high school, filed a suit at San Bernardino in the superior court. She alleges that an automobile driven by J. B. Gentry of San Bernardino ran her down, breaking a leg, and that when the member knitted it was an inch shorter than its mate. She asks $35,000 damages. Judge Bledsoe May Be a Candidate Judge B. F. Bledsoe of San Bernardino, denies the report that he is to receive the Democratic appointment to succeed Judge DeHaven on the federal bench at San Francisco. He believes, however, that a second department to the federal court will be established in Southern California, and in that case, he expects to be a candidate.

While he would not refuse the appointment in the north he deems it impossible that the vacancy will go to a Southern California man as there are several candidates in the north. Boys Steal Auto Charged with starting for San Diego in a machine they had stolen from in front of the Majestic theater and stopping at Whittier where they stripped the new car they found. Leslie Holbrook and Byron Moon each 23 years of age were arrested at Santa Ana on Friday. They were returned to Los Angeles by Detectives Ziegler and Fitzgerald. According to Ziegler the young men took the car of W.H. Council South Pasadena while Council was attending the theater Thursday night. While passing through Whittier they spied a new machine and stripped it of number tires lamps and other equipment with which to disguise the stolen machine. Ziegler says. Mrs. August Wipperman left one day last week for her old home in Cincinnati Ohio. She took the southern route by way of New Orleans and is now visiting her daughter Mrs. Herbert Atchison in Florida. She will return to her home in this city about April 1st. The College of Agricultureizes that its public service very large measure means those now engaged in work. It further recognizes that the farming works to be successful must be trained.

The College of Agriculture of the University of California believes that it owes a duty to the State at large that can be fully accomplished as it states in a communication just received at this office, only when it is engaged to the fullest extent in public service. The following are some of the methods of rendering this service adopted to thus serve the people of the State. Meetings of farmers and those interested in farming work are addressed by experiment station workers and by men and women engaged in successful agricultural practice. At these meetings problems of local importance are discussed and lines of desirable work described and demonstrated to the end that the successful practice of trained men and women may become the common practice of the locality. It is the aim to make the work done at these meetings of immediate value to the community and the methods of presentation may therefore vary in different regions to meet local needs. The farmers’ institute is distinctly a people's forum. These meetings are given instruction along specific lines both by carefully prepared lessons and questions thereon and by well considered lines of suggested reading. The College of Agriculture feels that the best attention should be given to personal and individual inquiries and that its duty is to see that the questions that may be raised receive adequate reply. This branch of our work means the handling of many thousands of letters each year and will receive in the future as in the past the earnest attention of those whose duty it may be to handle the matter at issue. The intending farmer and the man already in the business may occasionally be confronted by some problem which demands for an adequate answer the investigation and study that only an expert can give it. To meet this condition the college is prepared, with due regard to other demands, to send men out for the specific purpose of studying the problem at first hand and to advise those directly interested and to advise those directly interested PLACENTIA NOTES Work began last week by R. W. Stevens on 27 acres leased from Geo. Johnson. This lies east and north of the Dorsby. Another large company from the Kern River field is the Monte Cristo which is said to have secured an interest in the McAnders Oil Company and through it to be acquiring new leases in the Placentia field. One of the most important leases effected recently in the Placentia district was that signed January 24 by the Monte Cristo Oil Company with Mr. and Mrs. N. P. Robertson for their 20-acre tract. They receive $4,000 homes and one-sixth royalty. Deputy Marshal Phil Germain and Under-sheriff Law arrested three Mexicans at the Santa Fe depot Friday evening at 6 o'clock and placed them in the county jail on a charge of suspected burglary. The men gave the names of Francisco Sanchez, Manuel Gomez and Pedro Morales. A suit case containing two suits of clothes, several pairs of gloves and a number of silk petticoats was taken into custody with them. These articles are said to have been stolen at Orange. The men arrived at Santa Ana on an electric car from Los Angeles Friday afternoon. They are said to have been met by a confederate with whom they went to Orange, where the thefts are said to have been made. They later arrived here and were immediately spotted by Germann and Law, the latter having followed them here. They entered the S. Q. R., Ahlborn, and Federman stores, being closely shadowed by the officers. It is believed a confederate tipped them off when they proceeded to the Santa Fe depot and asked the time for the next train to Los Angeles. They were placed under arrest and taken to the county jail. In the suit case were several bottles of acid with which the men intended to destroy locks. At their hearing in the Santa Ana township court they were sentenced to the county jail for a term of six months. Geo. S. Baker was in town on Saturday from his ranch on the county road west of town. Mr. Baker's fine 20-acre Valencia orange grove came through the recent cold spell unharmed and he says growers in this section can shake hands with themselves on account of the little damage done hereabouts. Mr. and Mrs. Baker and Mr. and Mrs. E. F. Bell recently took an automobile trip through the The University of California recognizes that the need of bringing to the great mass of farmers certain facts or methods of work which are of vital importance to their business and should receive immediate and general attention. To bring these facts to those most interested in an impressive and tangible form there are sent out what are known as agricultural trains. These fully equipped trains of cars are furnished by the different transportation companies and carry conveniently arranged exhibits of material and appliances to illustrate the line of work or practice to which the college especially wishes to call attention. It is fully recognized that while the farmers' institutes and the agricultural train are of immense value in improving working conditions upon our farms they cannot in the very nature of things go very deeply into the matter of the basic principles underlying a successful agriculture. To meet this condition we have established as a part of our activities what are known as movable schools of agriculture. To carry on this work we establish a regular short course school for enrolling students in localities desiring such an activity. These schools are planned to be in operation for two weeks and usually undertake to cover in an intensive way two or three related lines of agricultural practice. The instruction in these movable schools covers lecture, text book, laboratory and field demonstration work. These schools will be established when and where the conditions seem to warrant such action. The College of Agriculture recognizes that its public service must in very large measure meet the needs of those now engaged in agricultural work. It further recognizes the fact that the farming work of the future, to be successful, must be prosecuted by those who have been adequately trained. To assist in arousing the attention of those who will work our fields in the future and to present to the Dorsby. Another large company from the Kern River field is the Monte Cristo which is said to have secured an interest in the McAnders Oil Company and through it to be acquiring new leases in the Placentia field. One of the most important leases effected recently in the Placentia district was that signed January 24 by the Monte Cristo Oil Company with Mr. and Mrs. N. P. Robertson for their 20-acre tract. They receive $4,000 bonus and one-sixth royalty. A previous option with the North American Oil Company was allowed to lapse, that concern forfeiting $1,000 paid for the option. The Monte Cristo Oil Company is a new concern in this field, having confined its previous operations to the Kern River section. It is said to have extensive capital. The Placentia oil fields are attracting the attention of northern oil operators, this being the second to extend operations to this field. The other company is the Kern River Oil Fields, Ltd., which leased the Tuffree reservoir tract and has a rig up on same. A number of other leases in this section may be consummated at any time, negotiations being now under way. Greater interest than ever will probably be aroused in La Harba Valley by the coming in of the Union Oil Company's Graham and Loftus No. 5 well, with a production of 2,000 barrels. The new producer came in last Tuesday, and the flow Wednesday was gauged at 1,970 barrels of 23 gravity oil. Oil sand was entered in this well at 2,945 feet. It was finished at about 3,200, and is among the very largest wells in the valley. The Union's Nos. 2 and 7 wells on the Graham and Loftus lease are cemented. No. 6 is prepared for cementing and No. 1 has had oil showings. The rig is up for well No. 12. The locations for wells Nos. 9, 10 and 11 are in a different portion of the field but they are not to be drilled now. The No. 5 is the third well brought in by the company on the Graham and Loftus lease. No. 4, one of the other producers, does about 800 barrels a day. The No. 2 well, which has fallen off to about 100 barrels a day, is to be cleaned, as the hole is partially clogged. It produces a heavier oil than obtained in Nos. 3 and 4. Work is nearly completed on two of the Amalgamated's wells—Nos. 10 and 12—on the Anaheim Water Company lease. The Petroleum Company is also expected to bring in another well shortly. The valley's production... The College of Agriculture recognizes that its public service must in very large measure meet the needs of those now engaged in agricultural work. It further recognizes the fact that the farming work of the future, to be successful, must be prosecuted by those who have been adequately trained. To assist in arousing the attention of those who will work our fields in the future and to present to our coming farmers and those who are interested in sound educational work the facts that the college deems fundamental to success, there have been established lecture courses to be given in various high schools of the State. The lectures are given by members of the college staff and represent a distinct and valuable means of increasing interest in farm activities. To many individuals the written or spoken description of methods of work and lines of practice is not sufficient. To these the field demonstration, the actual doing of the thing advocated, is necessary before the line of practice recommended becomes a part of their working equipment. To meet this "condition which exists" we have already established lines of field demonstration work in various parts of the State. This work will be so expanded as time goes on that the farmer may, by the use of but a small amount of time, visit places where these demonstrations are in progress and there see the work in actual practice. To meet the special needs of individuals, as these needs may perhaps not be meet by the efforts previously described, there have been established definite lines of instruction through correspondence and reading courses. In these courses the enrolling student in by the company on the Graham and Loftus lease. No. 4, one of the other producers, does about 800 barrels a day. The No. 2 well, which has fallen off to about 100 barrels a day, is to be cleaned, as the hole is partially clogged. It produces a heavier oil than obtained in Nos. 3 and 4. Work is nearly completed on two of the Amalgamated's wells—Nos. 10 and 12—on the Anaheim Water Company lease. The Petroleum Company is also expected to bring in another well shortly. The valley's production has been increased to nearly 7,000 or 8,000 barrels a day by the coming in of the Union's well, and is one of the most promising districts in the southern part of the State. The Walker-Brand Company has lumber on the ground for another rig. The rig is about completed on the Nenno lease and the machinery is expected in this week. No. 2 well on the Dorsby lease is down about 1,200 feet. No. 1 is producing a little better than 200 barrels. FOR A SCENT A California butcher recently, who watched the price of porterhouse steak climb the ladder of fame, was deep in the throes of an unusually bad grouch when a would-be customer eight years old, approached him and handed him a penny. "Please, mister, I want a cent's worth of sausage." Turning on the youngster with a growl, he let forth this burst of good salesmanship: "Go smell o' the hook!" "A woman can stand the great calamities of life with fortitude." "Go on." "What worries her nearly to death is wondering whether she erased the price marks on all those Christmas presents or not."
