CITY TRUSTEES START PAVING PROCEEDINGS LOS ANGELES STREET TO NORTH AND SOUTH CITY LIMITS WILL RECEIVE IMPROVEMENT W. A. WALLACE APPOINTED COLLECTOR FOR CITY LIGHT, WATER, AND LICENSE RATES Fears that the city trustees would not take up the matter of street paving for some months were laid quietly to rest Thursday evening when the city council adopted specifications, and passed resolutions of intention for paving North Los Angeles street from Sycamore to North street, and South Los Angeles street from Santa Ana to Broad street. This step had not been taken previously for the reason that City Engineer Steward has been working on the specifications, setting the grades, and doing other preliminary work which was necessary before active operations in the paving matter could begin. At last the work may be considered fairly under way, and active work of grading and paving will probably begin inside of four months, and the paving of Los Angeles street to the northern and southern city limits will be finished before the end of the summer. Resolutions were first adopted setting forth that the specifications which have been prepared by City Engineer Steward shall be the specifications for the paving of North and South Los Angeles street. Following this step, resolution of intention No. 100, stating that the city would shortly pave North Los Angeles street, was read and adopted. Resolution of intention No. 101 was then read and adopted, setting forth that the city would shortly pave South Los Angeles street. and action will be taken up at a later meeting of the board. A representative of the Layne & Bowler Company addressed the meeting and suggested that the 14-inch well and pump be installed, as the 12-inch would not pump the desired amount of water and the 16-inch was too large for the amount desired. An application for a drug store alcohol license was received from A. H. Heying, and was on motion granted. A petition from property owners on Crone avenue signed by H. H. Crone and others, requesting that that thoroughfare be graded, was read and referred to the street superintendent for action. Building permits were granted as follows: Bender & Silbernagle, contractors for N. Hart, to construct an addition to and alter front of building on East Center street; cost $100. W. J. F. Postlewait, contractor for L. A. Strain, to construct residence on Stueckle avenue; cost $250. Rev. F. W. Mitchell, to construct residence on Alberta street; cost $1,600. E. L. Goodrich, to construct garage on East Broadway; cost $100. Mrs. Derby Allen, to construct screen porch on rear North Philadelphia street; cost $40. O. H. Peed, to construct an addition to residence on Vine street; cost $70. Bender & Silbernagle, to construct residence on Chestnut street; cost $1,000. G. Jorns, contractor for Joe. Lautenbach, to construct residence on South Lemon street; cost $200. H. L. Briscoe, contractor, to construct residence on East Sycamore street; cost $1,250. Gustav Spingath, to construct residence on South Clementina street; cost $1,200. Reports were received as follows: City Collector's Report For License ... $1,035.75 For light ... 1,729.35 For water ... 972.35 Total ... $3,692.45 Resolutions were first adopted setting forth that the specifications which have been prepared by City Engineer Steward shall be the specifications for the paving of North and South Los Angeles street. Following this step, resolution of intention No. 100, stating that the city would shortly pave North Los Angeles street, was read and adopted. Resolution of intention No. 101 was then read and adopted, setting forth that the city would shortly pave South Los Angeles street. When these resolutions are published the necessary number of times, other work will be rushed, and bids will be called for probably inside of two months. The paving of Los Angeles street, which will be the route of the state highway through this city, and probably the national highway as well, will be of hydraulic concrete, with a concrete base of broken stone with an asphalt wearing surface. Pavement will be heavier than on other streets in the city because of the heavy traffic which the road will be called upon to carry. Maps and profiles of the proposed paving were submitted by City Engineer Steward and were accepted. He was also instructed to draw up profiles of the paving of street intersections which are to be paved by the city. Another important step about which much interest has been shown of late, was the appointment of a collector for the light, water and license rates of the city, which office was created by an ordinance recently adopted by the board. Several applications have been received for the position from men about town, all of whom would have done credit to the office. W. A. Wallace, who has had large experience in the situation, having acted as deputy collector on a number of occasions, was appointed to the new office. J. P. Henry appeared before the board and asked for city water for his residence south of the city limits on Los Angeles street. As the owner of the place is away in the East, a contract will be drawn up and sent to him for signature. It was moved and carried that the city engineer make up plans and specifications for the new fire hall to house the motor fire truck which is to be purchased in the near future. The structure will be made of brick, two stories in height, and ample large for all needs of the fire department. The building will be placed on the city's lots on West Cypress street, where the power house was formerly located. The city electrician was instructed to install fixtures in the public library. H. L.

The building will be placed on the city's lots on West Cypress street, where the power house was formerly located. The city electrician was instructed to install fixtures in the public library building, a request for this work having been sent by the library board. A contract between the city and the Standard Oil Company for the delivery of 10,000 barrels of fuel oil to the city was read and accepted. The oil is to be delivered on the Southern Pacific tracks in this city, and will cost the city 81 cents per barrel of 42 gallons. The contract was accompanied by a bond of $500. Bids for drilling a well for the use of the municipal water system were opened and read: Only one bidder was in the field, M. C. Chase, and his bid for 12, 14 and 16-inch wells were as follows: 12-inch $2.50 per foot, 14-inch $3.00 per foot, 16-inch $3.70 per feet; wells to be drilled from a depth of 100 to 500 feet. The bid was accompanied by a certified check for $100 as required by law. Bids for pumps in the new well were received from the Layne & Bowler Corporation and the Krogh Company, accompanied by blueprints and descriptive literature in regard to the different styles of pumps on hand. The bids were laid over for investigation Suit to foreclose a mortgage on ten acres at Anaheim was begun this week by E. B. Murphy against Marie Ceurvorst, J. A. Clark and J. Clyde Williams. The note is for $4,850, and was given on February 5, 1912. Tipton & Caillor represent the plaintiff. Joseph Fiscus is planning the erection of a fine $8,000 residence on his property on South Los Angeles street to be occupied by himself and family when completed.

FREE RAW SUGAR MENACE TO LOCAL FARMERS FOREIGN PRODUCT ADMITTED WITHOUT DUTY WILL RUIN ORANGE COUNTY INDUSTRY JONES OF LOS ANGELES GIVES SOME PERTINENT OBSERVATIONS UPON SUBJECT Editor Gazette: The head and front of a political conspiracy to cripple the sugar beet industry of this county is ostensibly F. C. Lowry, of the Federal Sugar Refinery. The arch conspirators are the Seaboard or Wall Street cane refineries. The ill-concealed object is to throttle the production, manufacture and sale of American produced beet sugar. At attempt is made under the guise of tariff reduction to recruit from the ranks in Congress more conspirators all of whom will attempt to make it appear to the people that it is better to send money to the tropics to pay coolie labor than to employ American labor and raise sugar beets from our own soil. More recently attempt is being made to drag President Wilson into the conspiracy. Will he heed the warning, "stop, look, listen," or will he be blindly led by Wall Street sugar interests who insist upon free sugar? Doubtless he has access to facts and figures which will show him that our people expend $400,000,000 a year for sugar, of which $100,000,000 is expended in foreign countries, while it all might be purchased at home as a home product from a small portion of the 274,000,000 acres of available good beet land of which only 500,000 acres are now used in supplying the raw land is available, hence it is imperative that lands now under cultivation should be made more productive. The great problem of agriculture is then how to make the soil more productive. (Sole this by rotation with sugar beets.) As every one knows, the soil that produces the same crop year after year becomes greatly impoverished until at last it is no longer able to supply the proper nourishment for a new crop. The proper method for the renovation of soils is well known to be, rotation. ALFRED WELLINGTON JONES. Box 116, Los Alamitos, Calif. WATER COMPANY HAS OIL LAWSUIT Action Denying Its Right to Bore on Land in Tuffree Tract In an answer filed in the office of County Clerk Williams, the Dorsby Oil Company declares that the Anaheim Union Water Company has no right under its articles of incorporation to engage in private enterprises. Specific denial of this right is made in regard to the issues brought up in the action begun by the A. U. W. Co. and E. V. Benjamin against Carolina B. Pittman and the Dorsby Oil Company. In that action the plaintiffs assert that they hold title to 7.77 acres of land in lot 3, Tuffree's sub-division, and ask judgment to that effect adversely to the claims of the defendants. The answer was filed for the oil company by Attorney Oscar Lawler of Los Angeles. This answer declares that the water company has nothing more than an easement upon the land, that easement being for the use of the land for conducting the business of supplying stockholders with irrigation water. The water company has leased this land to E. V. Benjamin for drilling for oil, the acreage being 7.77 acres. On January 20, 1912, Mrs. Pittman charge of Robert J. Hamilton, scout commissioner. On Saturday the third monthly contest of the boy scouts was held at Garden Grove at the Y. M. C. A. grounds. It consisted of first aid bandaging, setting-up exercises, star naming, fire lighting and water boiling for time, the 100-yard dash, and the 50-yard dash. The banner was won for the third successive time by the Eagle Patrol of Orange, with a total of 819 points, the Fox Patrol had 759 points; the Lion 582, the Stag 512, the Beavers 489 and the Tigers 425. The next contest will be held on May 3rd at the County Park, and will include first aid pertaining to cuts and bleeding, a gymnastic marching drill, naming and describing leaves and trees, cooking flapjacks, the running high jump, and the 8-pound shot put. Property at Placentia belonging to George H. Forster was attached in a suit for $318 brought by the Randolph Fruit Co. against him. The suit followed a disagreement over the payment of some orange pickers. F. P. Smith of Anaheim was last week ordered committed to the asylum at Patton as an habitual inebriate. Competition is destructive, not constructive. BUSINESS CARDS J. W. TRUXAW, M. D. Office Hours 11 to 12 A. M.; 2 to 4 P. M.; 7 to 8 P. M. Phone Pacific 341.

Will he heed the warning, "stop, look, listen," or will he be blindly led by Wall Street sugar interests who insist upon free sugar? Doubtless he has access to facts and figures which will show him that our people expend $400,000,000 a year for sugar, of which $100,000,000 is expended in foreign countries, while it all might be purchased at home as a home product from a small portion of the 274,000,000 acres of available good beet land of which only 500,000 acres are now used in supplying the raw material for the home product, beet sugar. Incidentally it may be said that if the 274,000,000 acres referred to above were all planted to sugar beets yielding a rotative crop once in three years, sufficient sugar might be procured therefrom to supply five times as much as is now consumed by the whole world, the United States included. These staggering figures are based upon the present average production from the 500,000 acres now growing sugar beets in this country. Also it might be shown that no other one factor has had such an influence in lowering the price of sugar to the consumer as has the establishment of the beet sugar industry in this country. Also that the surest way to permanently advance the price of sugar to the consumer would be to kill beet sugar production and give the Wall Street cane refineries and Cuban planters full control of our home market for an indefinite period. Joining the F. C. Lowry crowd would mean the death knell of an industry which if allowed to expand, will through rotation with sugar beets double the yield of American farms and thereby lower the price of all food stuffs to the 96,000,000 consumers. Furthermore, the chance of effecting a saving in the price of sugar amounting to 14 cents per capita per annum would soon be shown to be a myth, for with domestic sugar taken off our home market, the world's price would immediately advance to a figure higher than it is at present and the cane refiners would be able to dictate future prices for all time, yet our law makers condone a crime by endorsing F. C. Lowry's propaganda so industriously circulated that the tariff taken off from sugar would result in making it two cents cheaper to the consumer. Lowry knows better and so do the people if they will stop to think. Lowry's own testimony in the Congressional Record shows him to be a falsifier. Agriculture has laid the foundation that has made this the greatest and most powerful nation in the world. Would then President Wilson at the The answer was filed for the oil company by Attorney Oscar Lawler of Los Angeles. This answer declares that the water company has nothing more than an easement upon the land, that easement being for the use of the land for conducting the business of supplying stockholders with irrigation water. The water company has leased this land to E. V. Benjamin for drilling for oil, the acreage being 7.77 acres. On January 20, 1912, Mrs. Pittman leased 40 acres for 20 years for oil purposes to J. M. McLeod, who on March 23, 1912, transferred his lease to the Dorsby Oil Company. The Dorsby company has drilled a well and has a good producing well, proving the land to be oil bearing. This well is on lot 4 of the Tuffree sub-division. The water company's 7.77 acres is in lot 3. The oil company states that it fears that should a well be put down upon the water company property and oil struck it would drain the oil from the Dorsby well and any other well it may put down. The answer alleges that the articles of incorporation of the A. U. W. Co. are specific in outlining the purposes of the company to be for supplying irrigation water to its stockholders. It asserts that the company is now engaging in a private enterprise and has entered into an arrangement with Benjamin for the joint interests of the two parties to divert the easement of the company on the land to other purposes, namely the development of oil and gas. The defendant asks for judgment decreeing that the water company has no rights beneath the surface of that 7.77 acres. E. E. Keech is attorney for the water company. SANTA ANA BOY SCOUTS INITIATED Twenty-five Boys Become Members of World's Greatest Boys' Organization Monday evening the first formal initiation of members of the Boy Scouts of America under the direction of the Santa Ana council was held in the First Methodist church in that city last week, with five patrols represented with a total of 25 boys. These had all taken the examination required for membership in the Boy Scouts in the first degree, known as the tenderfoot degree. Those to receive the badge were as follows, in the Tiger Patrol of ture prices for all time, yet our law makers condone a crime by endorsing F. C. Lowry's propaganda so industriously circulated that the tariff taken off from sugar would result in making it two cents cheaper to the consumer. Lowry knows better and so do the people if they will stop to think. Lowry's own testimony in the Congressional Record shows him to be a falsifier. Agriculture has laid the foundation that has made this the greatest and most powerful nation in the world. Would then President Wilson at the behest of Wall Street kill beet sugar agriculture? Discouraging agriculture is "Crawfish Progressiveism," which is "killing the goose that lays the golden egg." Obviously any individual, state or country which buys more than is sold must eventually go bankrupt. The farm value of agricultural products produced in the United States in a single season aggregates the enormous—the unthinkable—sum of four and one-half billions of dollars, or $49 dollars for each man, woman and child in the country. Buying $100,000,000 worth of sugar abroad when it might be produced at home is an example of bankrupt tendencies. Here then is the crux of the situation—no farming is good farming, or justifiable farming even, that does not leave the land at the end of a term of years undiminished in fertility. And statistics show that we, as a nation are far from maintaining a normal balance between the production and consumption of vegetable food supplies. Comparatively little new Organization Monday evening the first formal initiation of members of the Boy Scouts of America under the direction of the Santa Ana council was held in the First Methodist church in that city last week, with five patrols represented with a total of 25 boys.

As a part of the initiation ceremony a splendid talk was given by Superintendent J. A. Cranston on the laws of the Boy Scouts. These are that a boy scout must be trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent.
