EARLY BOOSTER TELLS ABOUT ANAHEIM SOIL HERE IS RICH, CLIMATE IS EQUABLE, AND LIST OF PRODUCTS IS LARGE INTERESTING DEVELOPMENTS IN DIVISION OF COUNTY CAMPAIGN LONG AGO (From Gazette January 6, 1872) County Division—The Gallatin Meeting An adjourned meeting was held on Wednesday last for the purpose of receiving reports from the various committees appointed at the county division meeting at Anaheim on the 20th ult. The chairman of the revision committee reported certain amendments to the county division bill which are in substance as follows: 1st—The name of the proposed new county is changed to Orange. 2nd—The boundary is changed in this respect, that after intersecting the San Bernardino base line it follows said line east to the San Bernardino county line, the remainder of the boundaries being left the same. 3rd—The commissioners to district the county for election purposes, etc., are L. L. Becquit, John W. Pryer, W. R. Olden and A. L. Bush. 4th—The county superintendent of public schools is made a separate office being connected with (From Gazette January 13, 1872) Team Accident—Two of H. D. Polhemus' four-horse teams left Anaheim Landing on Tuesday last with lumber for Gallatin. Accounts are conflicting as to what happened afterwards, but the most probable statement we can learn is this; arriving at the New River one team crossed and went on, the other driven by John Ryan, declined to risk the crossing and started back. The next day when the team from Gallatin returned, the driver found near the crossing the wagon and one dead horse of Ryan's team, with the harness, and even the halters of all the horses piled up, around, also a portion of Ryan's clothing, but the other three horses and Ryan himself are completely missing. Ryan is supposed to have been drunk, and it is stated, was last seen in his seat, asleep. Whether he was drowned at the river or what became of him is a mystery. Mr. Polhemus has gone to the scene of the accident. The overland stage driver brought in the news yesterday of the upturning of the stage coach preceding him in attempting to cross a small creek on this side of San Luis Obispo, resulting in the drowning of one of the passengers and two wheel horses, and the loss of the mails. There were three passengers on board at the time the accident occurred, but two of them and the driver, with the leaders, succeeded in getting to shore safely. The unfortunate man who was drowned is said to have been in ill health, and too weak to avail himself of the means of rescue extended to him. (From Gazette January 20, 1872) Anaheim Lodge, I. O. O.

L. Becquit, John W. Pryer, W. R. Olden and A. L. Bush. 4th—The county superintendent of public schools is made a separate office, instead of being connected with that of the county clerk as heretofore, and a salary of $400 per annum for the first two years attached to the office. 5th—A special judicial election is provided for to be held at the same time as the first county election, for the election of county judge and justice of the peace (the state constitution requiring such officers to be elected at a judicial election.) 6th—The bonds of various officers are increased, viz.: Sheriff to $40,000; county clerk to $20,000; treasurer to $40,000. 7th—Providing that the cost of transcribing the records of Los Angeles county for the new county of Orange, shall not exceed 15 cents per folio. 8th—The commissioners charged with the duty of ascertaining the proportion of the present county indebtedness which shall be assumed by the new county are J. G. Downey and A. W. Potts of Los Angeles county and E. H. Boyd and J. W. Clark of Orange county. 9th—Some further provision is made in regard to the redemption of the county bonds, issued to pay our proportion of the old county debt. 10th—That county seat shall be at the town of Anaheim for the first two years, or until the next general election, when a vote shall be taken to locate the same; and in case no one place shall receive a majority of all the votes, then a second election shall be held 30 days from the first, at which election the two places receiving the highest vote at the first election shall be re-submitted for a choice for the county seat, and the one having the highest number of votes shall be the county seat of said Orange county. The report was unanimously adopted and the committee discharged. The committee for raising funds reported progress, and was continued, to report at an early day. Brigham Young has been brought into court in Salt Lake City, in charge of the U. S. marshal. (From Gazette January 20, 1872) Anaheim Lodge, I. O. O. F., will be instituted at Masonic hall, Anaheim, on Tuesday evening next, by M. W. G. M., W. H. Hill, assisted by Deputy G. M. H. Wartenberg and others. The institution of an Odd Fellows' lodge among us is a most auspicious event, and one that marks an important era in our upward growth. (From Gazette March 9, 1872) For Those Who Want a Home Anaheim and the great valley of Los Angeles county of which it is the center, offers greater inducements to intending settlers than any portion of the State of California. Our temperate delicious climate and exuberantly fertile soil both adapted to every variety of both temperate and semi-tropical productions, make it most desirable as a residence for every class of our population. Our climate, while avoiding the extremes of heat and cold, still possesses a great variety; on the seacoast it is delightfully cool and bracing, the sea breeze having lost the raw harshness of the northern coast, and every mile one proceeds in going from the coast to the interior the temperature increases and this rule prevails throughout the year. Invalids are thus enabled to select exactly the climate suited to their disease. The changes of temperature from midnight to noon and from noon to midnight, although at times considerable, are so gradual as to be hardly perceived; they give no shock to the most sensitive system. The change of seasons requires but little change—very thin or very thick clothing is rarely worn. Although our southern location on the map naturally conveys the idea of heat, it is never oppressive, the rays of our sun are tempered by our delightful, health-promoting sea breeze, which commences at 11 A. M. and lasts till night. Our nights are always cool; but even in winter the thermometer rarely falls below 40 degrees, and at Anaheim has been down to 32 but once this winter. Although all kinds of fruit ripens perfectly, they do not come to maturity so early as in the torrid interior valleys of the northern part of the state, but as may naturally be expected, areally become exhausted of running water, an evincing with the seasonion of the hyprography of the United States Geological Survey few areas in the United States more favorable opportunities for development of water traced by the Cascade Range in 100 inches of rainfall. The streams of the Cascade Range in high degree require statistics for the success of water power, namely abundant water, uniform flow. Admire enormous resources owe and other minerals, and developed only in promising an extensive for water power, and parent that the large surrounding the Cascade in the undeveloped streams very great power. The United States surveyed in co-operation with State Board of General Secretary "Water Powers of Part II," is the second reports resulting from first having been issued Water-Supply Paper report deals with these of the Cowlitz (exce Nisqually, Puyallup, V Cedar rivers). It includes estimates of river dams from data collected from sources branch of these rivers in co-operation with Board of Geological private persons. River files made by the top officials of the Geological Survey included. The possibility power on the described in as much warranted in a work of... for the county seat, and the one having the highest number of votes shall be the county seat of said Orange county. The report was unanimously adopted and the committee discharged. The committee for raising funds reported progress, and was continued, to report at an early day. Brigham Young has been brought into court in Salt Lake City, in charge of the U. S. marshal. The directors of the Los Angeles and San Pedro railroad have decided to run a telegraph line from Wilmington to this city. Work will commence immediately, and it will not be many days before Los Angeles will have a regular telegraph line connecting it with Wilmington.—L. A. Star. The surveying party of the Los Angeles and San Diego railroad was to leave San Diego on the 5th inst. Messrs. Knox and Rumble are of the party. Surveyors are also in the field making a final survey and establishing the route of the San Diego and San Bernardino railroad. Ben Dreyfus, Esq., paid us a flying visit on Saturday last, returning however, immediately to San Francisco. Fred W. Athearn has just returned from a five-months' absence in San Diego county and Lower California. Glad to see him back. Deeds Filed Richard Melrose to Joseph and Ferdinand Backs, a lot in Anaheim for $500. Alexander Henry to E. Baker, 20 acres in the Cajon de Santa Ana rancho, together with right-of-way for $280. The total rainfall at Anaheim, this season, is 5% inches thus far. Our soil is rich, pliable sandy loam, varying in color from a light chocolate to black. When cultivated it is loose, mellow, very retensive of moisture and of extraordinary fertility. Oranges, lemons and limes are staple productions, the crops of which never fail. Even pineapples and bananas have grown and ripen their fruit here in the open air without protection of any kind. Our crops of all kinds of cereals are enormous; our hills are even now at this time of the year covered with a thick growth of most nutritious grasses, from one to two feet high. Along the seacoast are extensive tracts of the finest natural evergreen pastures the finest dairy land in the world, and the temperature at the same time is just what is required for the production of butter and cheese. Of our vines it is hardly necessary to speak. No part of this vine-producing state can vie with them in productiveness; 1,000 gallons per acre is an ordinary crop.

WATER POWERS OF CASCADE RANGE FEW AREAS IN UNITED STATES MORE FAVORABLY SITUATED FOR DEVELOPING ENERGY HIGHER PEAKS OF RANGE EXTEND INTO REALMS OF EVERLASTING SNOW Well to the west of the great rock barrier which in the early days of the republic was assumed to be the natural western boundary of the United States lies another great belt of elevated land surmounted by a very chaos of rugged peaks and pyramids—the Cascade Range of Washington and Oregon. In these mountains exists an inexhaustible store of potential wealth, much of it belonging to the Nation—not precious or useful metals, for mines however rich must eventually become exhausted, but a wealth of running water, an endless chain revolving with the seasons. In the opinion of the hypographic engineers of the United States Geological Survey few areas in the United States present more favorable opportunities for the development of water power than that traversed by the Cascade Range. The general altitude of the crest of the range is 6,000 to 8,000 feet above sea level, and the higher peaks extend into the region of everlasting snow. From Mount Rainier in Washington to complete surveys and plans for development of unused power privileges have not been attempted, such work being more properly left to those who are contemplating actual development. The purposes of the report are rather to show the power resources of the basins described and to indicate in a general way the relative value of the individual power privileges. The river surveys, which constitute one of the essential factors in the analysis of power, were made during the field season of 1910 by Bayard Knock and W. B. Lewis, of the topographical branch of the United States Geological Survey, under the direction of T. G. Gerdine, geographer. A supplementary survey of the upper portion of Cispus River was made during August and September, 1911, by Chas. Leidl and W. O. Harmon, under the direction of Fred F. Henshaw, district engineer. Field reconnaissances were made in most of the basins to gather information relative to water supply, topographic features and other general conditions which should be considered in the interpretation of stream-flow records and river-profile representations. These reconnaissances were made by G. L. Parker, assistant engineer of the United States Geological Survey. The summaries of the available power in each basin are computed from the average flow for the lowest week on record and from the flow that could be realized from possible storage. The flow with storage is computed on the basis of the continuous discharge that can be maintained by the release of the storage during the most extreme drought on record, considering the length and severity of low-water periods.

In the opinion of the hypographic engineers of the United States Geological Survey few areas in the United States present more favorable opportunities for the development of water power than that traversed by the Cascade Range. The general altitude of the crest of the range is 6,000 to 8,000 feet above sea level, and the higher peaks extend into the region of everlasting snow. From Mount Rainier in Washington to Mount Shasta just south of the Oregon-California line, both more than 14,000 feet in elevation, many snow-covered peaks are the perpetual fountains that supply the flow of strong rivers running westward to the coast. The precipitation of the area is heavy, the Cascade Range receiving about 100 inches of rainfall a year. The streams of the Cascades possess in high degree the requisite characteristics for the successful development of water power, namely, steep gradient, abundant water, and comparatively uniform flow. Add to these the enormous resources of timber, metal, and other minerals, and lands as yet developed only in small part but promising an extensive future market for water power, and it becomes apparent that the large areas of country surrounding the Cascade Plateau have in the undeveloped power of their streams very great potential wealth. The United States Geological Survey, in co-operation with the Washington State Board of Geological Survey, Henry Landes, State geologist, is making a comprehensive survey of the water resources of this area in that State. Water-Supply Paper 313, just issued by the Federal Survey, entitled "Water Powers of the Cascade Range, Part II," is the second of a series of reports resulting from this work, the first having been issued in 1912, as Water-Supply Paper 253. This second report deals with the drainage basins of the Cowlitz (except the Toutle), Nisqually, Puyallup, White, Green, and Cedar rivers. It includes all monthly estimates of river discharge derived from data collected by the water-resources branch of the Geological Survey in co-operation with the State Board of Geological Survey and by private persons. River plans and profiles made by the topographic branch of the Geological Survey are also included. The possibilities of developing power on the streams are described in as much detail as is warranted in a work of this kind. Com- The summaries of the available power in each basin are computed from the average flow for the lowest week on record and from the flow that could be realized from possible storage. The flow with storage is computed on the basis of the continuous discharge that can be maintained by the release of the storage during the most extreme drought on record, considering the length and severity of low-water periods.

RECLAMATION IS DOUBTFUL Department of Agriculture Working Hard to Overcome Dangers Deterioration of irrigated lands in the West has resulted in efforts by the Government to overcome what threatens to be a serious danger to all of the lands embraced in the Government's immense irrigation projects. Dr. B. T. Galloway, chief of the Bureau of Plant Industry, states that the Department of Agriculture is working hard to overcome the recognized dangers confronting farming on irrigated lands. Dr. Galloway's testimony was given before the House Committee on Expenditures in the Agricultural Department. He said the department hoped to be able to put irrigated farming on a lrm basis for the future. The danger lies not only in the alkali in the soils of irrigated lands, which washes down into other land, but also in what the experts term as the "wearing out" of the saturation. "I will go so far as to say, and it may be somewhat startling," Dr. Galloway said to the committee, "that as far as I know there never has been any long-continued irrigation in a semi-arid climate anywhere in the world." Congress is expected to appropriate additional sums this year to continue the studies in the irrigated regions, where the agricultural experts are endeavoring to solve the problems confronting agriculture. Father—It's a curious thing that whenever I want you to marry a man you object, and whenever I do not want you to marry one you insist on it. Daughter—Yes, and whenever we are agreed the man objects.
