Director Bradford reported that Mr. Chapman had put a road through the Mesmer tract and was willing to pay the cost of piping the open ditch the "How Did the Bird Know that"— Lots of Far Sighted People Wear Glasses ELECTRIC RAILWAY RUMORS CURRENT Franchise Applied For by Pacific Electric For Extensive Additions to Its Mileage in This County Renewed activity in railroad building and improvements of the Southern Pacific and Pacific Electric railway companies in Orange county this spring and summer, together with the expenditure of large sums of money in general betterment work by both corporations, is believed to be behind an application made to the board of supervisors by Hon. Phil A. Stanton, founder of the town of Stanton and one of the best known public men in California. Mr. Stanton visited County Clerk Williams last week for the purpose of securing information relative to an application which he has filed with the county supervisors, for right-of-way for an extension of the Pacific Electric line from Alamitos Bay to Bay City. This line is intended to give Bay City direct communication with Long Beach, if not immediately, then in the near future. Once this work has begun, men familiar with the railroad situation in Orange county, profess the belief that it will only be a short time before the Pacific Electric, in conjunction with the Southern Pacific, will bring about the electrizing of the Southern Pacific to Westminster, the building of an extension of the line from Bay City to Anaheim, and eventually a Pacific Electric direct line from Anaheim to Santa Ana. With rumors current that the Alamitos Bay extension to Bay City will prove to be a real link in the line between Long Beach and Bay City, the result is that it is being assumed that the end will not be seen until there is the new line from Anaheim to Long Beach, which would eliminate the present necessary change of cars at Zaferia Junction, a财富 avenue. It was moved by Dwyer and seconded by McFadden that the request of the city of Fullerton be granted and that Attorney Keech take the matter of a contract up with Attorney Marks. A communication was received from J. P. Hatzfeld, complaining of the damage being done his property in Placentia by water overflowing the ditch. On motion of Hale, seconded by Beazley, this was referred to the ditch committee and superintendent. On motion the meeting adjourned. WM. T. WALLOP, Secretary.

HOSPITAL PLANS ACCEPTED Plans prepared by Architect Fred H. Eley for the new county hospital have been accepted by the county supervisors. Eley's plans were submitted in competition with a number of other architects, both local and from Los Angeles. Some slight changes were favored by the county officials and these were finished this week. Following the formal approval of these plans, they will be sent to the State Board of Charities for the approval of that body. Then they will be returned and the actual drawings made. The new county hospital will be located on the county poor farm between Orange and Anaheim, three miles south of this city. It will be a two-story reinforced concrete structure, 48x92 feet. It will have basement and roof garden and will cost about $26,000. You can't eat enough in one week to last you a whole year, and you can't advertise on that plan, either. DEMOCRATSHOLD TO PLATFORM PLEDGES COUNTY CENTRAL COMMITTEE, BY TEN TO EIGHT VOTE, REJECTS TARIFF PROVISION MINORITY WILL PROBABLY TAKE THE MATTER UP WITH CONGRESSMAN KETTNER By a vote of ten to eight the Democratic county central committee at a meeting held at Santa Ana on Saturday denied adoption to a series of resolutions by Chairman Head asking Congressman Kettner to stand for a protective tariff on citrus fruits and sugar beets. After Sachem Head had read his resolution, Charley Jones of the second ward of this city, arose and said that he suspected for a time that he was in a Republican meeting. Jones declared the party should stand by its platform pledges. He said the tariff on citrus fruits and beets could be cut in half and then there would be a better market and better profits for the growers. Godfrey Stock favored the resolution and advocated a protective tariff for both of the Orange county products, which he said, would be crippled if not entirely destroyed by free trade. Mr. Jumpter of Newport Beach said for the Lord's sake for the committee to be honest with themselves and the people and remember that the Democrats were pledged to a reduction of the tariff in citrus fruits and everything else. F. B. Case, general manager of the Southern California Sugar Company, was requested to shed some light on that industry and the tariff, and in a most comprehensive address he declared the Democratic free trade would mean the ruination of the sugar IN AND ABOUT COUNTY Linebarger’s Inventory Supervisor Linebarger last week filed with the county clerk an inventory under his direction, which includes all the graders, wagons, plows, etc., in the La Habra, Fullerton, Buena Park and Anaheim road districts. Bielma Sentenced Francisco Bielma was last week sentenced to serve 18 months in San Quentin by Judge West in the superior court. He had been convicted of assault with a deadly weapon on the person of a fellow countryman, Bernardino Sandejes. Notice of appeal from the sentence has been filed by his attorney, S. S. Finley. Wants Road Opened A letter was received by the supervisors recently from Anna Derksen praying for the opening of a 30-foot strip of roadway that leads to her place in township 4 south, range 9 and 10 west. This is an old disputed problem, it being claimed that the road is county property but has been fenced in by Mr. Tucker. Surveyor McBride failed to find any record showing that the road had ever been deeded to the county. Gas Company Ask Raise in Rates The Southern Counties Gas Company has applied to the railroad commission to have the rate for gas in the city of Orange, raised from $1.15 to $1.35 per 1,000 cubic feet. The city of Orange recently surrendered the control of its utilities to the commission. The Southern Counties Gas Company states that the rate of $1.15 is unduly low and was fixed by the city of Orange without proper notice to the company. It states that $1.35 is a proper rate to be charged.

Van Derveer, supervisor of the gramnair schools here, has received notice that he has been appointed a member of Council of Education, Southern section of California. This is an advisory board and is an honor well bestowed on the local man. Other members of the council in the county are J. A. Cranston, R. P. Mitchell, E. H. McMath and A. E. Paine. Supervisor Jasper Leck has sold the San Juan Hot Springs to Mr. Hun-sake of Los Angeles and will give possession Feb. 15. Mr. Leck has had possession of this health and pleasure resort for the past two years or more, and has made many improvements. It is Mr. Hun-saker's intention to further improve the property and give it the publicity necessary to secure for it the popularity its merits deserve. George Tolson is hauling to the Orange Growers’ Association packing house some of the finest oranges ever grown in the frostless belt. Mr. Tolson’s grove, in common with others in this section, escaped harm during the recent cold spell, and in proof of this he exhibits as fine a lot of fruit as was ever shipped from Southern California. He is receiving top-notch prices for his oranges and thinks that, all things considered, his lines have been cast in exceedingly pleasant places since coming here from Montana.

UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT The Fairland motion picture theater hereafter will be under the management of R. A. Speicher of Fullerton, who has conducted a theater in that town for the past two years. The licensed pictures will be shown with an entire change of pictures except stroved by free trade. Mr. Jumpter of Newport Beach said for the Lord's sake for the committee to be honest with themselves and the people and remember that the Democrats were pledged to a reduction of the tariff in citrus fruits and everything else. F. B. Case, general manager of the Southern California Sugar Company, was requested to shed some light on that industry and the tariff, and in a most comprehensive address he declared the Democratic free trade would mean the ruination of the sugar industry in this country. Chairman Head's resolution was as follows: Whereas, a tax burden in the form of a tariff is necessary in order to provide revenue for our government, and Whereas, we as Democrats, are in favor of distributing that burden as equitably as is possible, of eradicating fraud from the tariff schedules, and of removing the tax from those commodities that are produced in the United States, sent abroad and there sold more cheaply than at home, and Whereas, we recognize the justice and necessity of placing a reasonable tariff upon certain products of the soil of our country which constitute large and growing industries, in which millions of capital is invested and thousands of our citizens are employed, and which must compete in our home markets with products from foreign countries where pauper labor is employed, and from which shipment to our markets can be made by water at low rates, and Whereas; citrus fruits, sugar beets and beet sugar are such products in which millions of dollars are invested in our country, and in which many thousands of our citizens are interested and employed, and Whereas, the value of the annual crop of citrus fruits in Orange county alone amounts to three millions of dollars; that of the sugar beet crop to three millions and a half, and the manufactured sugar to five millions of dollars annually, in said county, and Whereas, in the production and handling of these crops and products employment is given to a large number of laboring men at remunerative wages based on the American scale of prices, and Whereas, the removal of the duty on citrus fruits and sugar would admit the products of pauper labor from foreign countries to come into competition with these products of our country, and would result in paralyzing these great industries; therefore, be it Resolved, by the Democratic Central Committee of Orange County, California, that our Congressman, Hon. William Kettner be, and he is hereby instructed to use every honorable means to prevent the removal or reduction of the duties on citrus fruits and sugar; and that all of the representatives in Congress from the State of California be, and they are hereby requested and urged to use their best efforts to prevent the removal or reduction of said duties. And be it further Cannot Accept Weevil State Horticulturist Cook now declares that under no circumstances will the quarantine prohibiting the importation of alfalfa, bees or honey from Idaho into California be modified. "All reports to the contrary are erroneous," said Dr. Cook. "California alfalfa growers would never stand for a lifting of the quarantine which would jeopardize the $50,000,000 alfalfa crop of this State and might result in the alfalfa weevil becoming a permanent pest." Had Parents' Consent When Rodney M. Doremus and Miss Genevieve M. Elliott visited the court house for a marriage license the other day, it developed that the groom-to-be was but 20 years of age, or one year shy the legal tender. The near-bride was on the safe side of the law with 18 years to her credit. But Doremus had not forgotten that he is still a minor and he presented County Clerk Williams with a sworn statement from his parents in which they gave their consent to his contemplated marriage. So the license was issued. Joe Dierksen in Toils of Law Joe Dierksen, of Fullerton, a notorious forger and probationer from the state penitentiary, was arrested in San Bernardino, charged with forging two more checks. Sheriff Ruddock went to that city after him and brought him to Santa Ana. Dierksen, who was on probation for seven years, will be sent to San Quentin to serve that term in prison. He was placed on probation by Judge West after he had pleaded guilty to forging a check for $50 and signing the name of the county auditor, Cal D. Lester. Supervisor Talbert Sells Ranch One of the largest real estate deals made in Orange county this year, was consummated Wednesday when O. E. Elftman of Elftman station purchased the 160-acre ranch of Thomas B. Talbert, lying eight miles north of Huntington Beach. Mr. Talbert received $80,000 cash, and the Mira Mar apartments at Long Beach. The apartments are valued at $22,500. The consideration in the deal, therefore, totals $102,500. The Talbert ranch is situated in the heart of the peatland district, and is regarded as excellent celery land. At the present time the ranch is utilized largely for the growing of beets. Resolved, by the Democratic Central Committee of Orange County, California, that our Congressman, Hon. William Kettner be, and he is hereby instructed to use every honorable means to prevent the removal or reduction of the duties on citrus fruits and sugar; and that all of the representatives in Congress from the State of California be, and they are hereby requested and urged to use their best efforts to prevent the removal or reduction of said duties. And be it further Resolved, that copies of this resolution be forwarded to the Hon. William Kettner and the other representatives in Congress from the State of California. A lively discussion was precipitated upon the resolutions which were finally rejected by a vote of ten to eight. The minority expressed keen disappointment at the action of the committee and it is said they will submit their view of the case to Congressman Kettner. Those present at the meeting were: J. A. Smiley, West Orange; Henry Adams, of Anaheim; W. H. Bentley, of Westminster; F. W. Grum, C. E. Jones, H. J. Westerman, Godfrey Stock, A. E. Griggs, of Anaheim; Eli Sparks, of West Anaheim; S. R. Jumpter, of Newport Beach; B. J. Westline, of Huntington Beach; James Fullerton and D. C. Pixley, of Orange; Orlando A. Stewart, of Delhi; and George Reyburn, of Garden Grove; Horace C.

The Talbert ranch is situated in the heart of the peatland district, and is regarded as excellent celery land. At the present time the ranch is utilized largely for the growing of beets. Gas Company Asks Raise in Rates The gas rate dispute at Orange is to be heard by Railroad Commissioners John M. Eshleman and H. B. Loveland in response to the appeal of the Southern Counties Gas Company's application for permission to raise their gas rates in that town from $1.15 per thousand feet, the present rate, to $1.35 per thousand, and not to only $1.25 as previously announced. The hearing will be held at Orange March 6. Secretary Walter F. McFarland of the gas company says that his company has an annual deficit to meet in Orange of $260 per annum, because of the present rate, which the city trustees fixed despite the company's protest. He also said the company has an annual deficit in Santa Ana of $370. Asked if the company also would request permission to increase its rates in Santa Ana and Anaheim, McFarland declined to make answer. It is believed that if the company is successful in its application to increase its rates at Orange, it will do likewise in Santa Ana and this city.

STRAWBERRY CROP A BIG ONE Strawberries reach their most luscious state when raised in Orange county. The tempting berries attain perfection here. Each year the strawberry crop grows larger and larger. An interesting illustration of this fact is presented by the six or eight Japanese who form the El Modena berry growers' association. Their output for the year 1912 totaled 12,530 basket crates. For the last four years the Santa Ana Produce Company has sold the little brown men the baskets used. Friday the growers closed a contract with the produce company for 450,000 baskets to be used this year. Adelheid Bath House Reopened Prof. Frank Burgfeld, Prop’r, Hydrotherapist and Chiropodist.
