ARGUMENTS FOR EARLY COUNTY DIVISION REASONS WHY THIS SECTION OF LOS ANGELES COUNTY SHOULD BE MADE INDEPENDENT FORMER EXTRAVAGANCE LEADS TO FIGHT FOR NEW POLITICAL ORGANIZATION (From Gazette, March 22, 1873) Why Los Angeles County Should be Divided Although the reasons which have influenced the citizens of the southern portion of Los Angeles county to attempt the division of the county are perfectly understood by the oldest residents, having been thoroughly canvassed during the past election campaign, still it would not be unwise to make a brief mention of them at the present time, for the information of those who have settled in our section during the past twelve months. The county of Los Angeles has an area of over six thousand square miles, though a large portion of it is but sparsely inhabited, being either desert or mountainous and barren. That portion of the county which is thickly settled is contained within an area of two thousand square miles, of an irregular shape, 70 miles long. county, $30,000 will be required of this section for this prison alone. Under the act authorizing the creation of the new county, drawn up and presented to the Legislature of 1869-1870 for their action, the sum total of the salaries to be paid to county officers was less than $20,000, which is the amount required of us at the present time. From these figures it will be seen that our section can carry on a separate county government for less money than is now required to defray our portion of the expenses in the present county; consequently the objection raised to our secession is not good. In the new county, its citizens can use their own discretion in the disposition of the public funds; in the new county the surplus cash can be devoted impartially to public improvements from one extremity to the other; in the old county, past experience shows for the future, nothing but waste, reckless expenditures and financial ruin. SCHOOLS URGED TO USE GOVERNMENT MAPS U. S. Geological Survey Will Make Selections for Any School or College For teaching the geograhpy of the United States in the public schools and colleges a strong effort is being made by the United State Geological Survey to foster the use of the government topographic maps. These maps USE GOVERNMENT MAPS U. S. Geological Survey Will Make Selections for Any School or College For teaching the geograhpy of the United States in the public schools and colleges a strong effort is being made by the United State Geological Survey to foster the use of the government topographic maps. These maps contain so many details of local interest, showing even the school houses and farm houses as well as every wagon road, with which of course the school children are familiar, that it is said to be an easy matter for teachers to enlist the interest of the pupils in this new type of school map. From an understanding of the particular maps representing their own localities it is but a succession of short steps to lead the pupils to an appreciation of the different types of country portrayed on maps of other sections of the United States. Most of the standard atlas sheets of the geological survey of recent issue are printed on the scale of 1 mile to 1 inch, a scale which shows the physical features of the country in very interesting detail. With these maps the pupils can determine the altitude of their homes and the steepness of hills and mountains, estimate the grade of wagon roads, work out simple engineering problems such as the drainage of swamps, select dam sites for the construction of reservoirs to supply water to imaginary trolley of feasible routes, establish lookout and signal stations on high points for the control of forest fires, and plan many other similar activities. The geological survey has published 2,200 topographic atlas sheets, covering about 40 per cent of the United States, and on receipt of $3 from any teacher it will supply 50 different maps selected with special reference to the particular requirements of the class it is proposed to instruct in this kind of geographical study. This selection will include, besides the map covering the area where the school is situated (providing such a map is published), other maps showing all the physiographic forms to be found in the United States—seacoast areas, hilly country, high and precipitous mountain country, swampy areas, regions of innumerable lakes, areas showing dense forests, areas with woodlands interspersed with many streams, lakes, and other natural features. The automobile landed in feet of tidewater on the edge of the bridge, upon its side. Figone immediately called and the two rushed to the Myrenh's house, which is to the bridge. Mrs. Souder husband, and he arrived at soon after Figone and Myren. The men waded into which was up to their wall was the first man taken off evident that he was dead. One of Bergey's legs was sticking out of the water. Since that time large additions have been made to the county indebtedness, resulting in no good to the southern part of the county, on the contrary proving detrimental to it by an increase of taxation. Fearing a division of the county, a courthouse was bought for a large sum of money. The house purchased was an old one and now it is rumored that it will be necessary in a short time to construct an entirely new building. In the late contest for the railroad subsidy, the wants and wishes of those outside of Los Angeles were completely ignored, and a donation was made to the company, which promised everything to the town and nothing to the country. Three large bridges have been built over the San Gabriel and Los Angeles rivers at a cost of $60,000. An attempt was made to locate the only one of the three bridges in which we could have any interest, to suit the wishes of the people of this section. Our supervisor was overruled and the structure was placed at a point on the river accessible only in a very dry season. The mania for building has seized the citizens of Los Angeles, and we at this end of the county must contribute to a new jail. To remain with the town a yearly increase of taxation is a certainty; to cut loose from them it is not only possible but probable, that taxation may be decreased. The only seemingly valid objection which has even been made to county division by the opponents of the measure, is that we are unable financially to carry on an independent county government. We have in the new county twelve-hundred voters. Their taxable property is valued at $3,000,-000, or nearly one-third of the taxable property of the county. One-third of the present county indebtedness must be paid by our people, whether in or out of the old regime. Ten thousand dollars or one-tenth of the money required to build the new jail, will be amply sufficient to construct all our public buildings; if we remain in the kind of geographical study. This selection will include, besides the map covering the area where the school is situated (providing such a map is published), other maps showing all the physiographic forms to be found in the United States—seacoast areas, hilly country, high and precipitous mountain country, swampy areas, regions of innumerable lakes, areas showing dense forests, areas with woodlands interspersed with many streams, lakes, and other natural features. If less than 50 maps are desired, a special selection of a less number will be made on request and furnished at the retail rate of 10 cents a copy. Most of these maps, each of which on the 1-mile scale covers about 225 square miles, or 150,000 acres, have been made at a cost for surveying and engraving of $3,500 to $6,000 each, and the wholesale price of 6 cents apiece covers only about the cost of paper and printing. It the areas were surveyed and the maps published by a commercial concern, these maps would need to be sold for not less than $2 to $3 each. The survey also sells an excellent wall map about 4 by 6 feet, unmounted (in three section), for 60 cents. This may be included in any wholesale order as part of the $3. Applications and remittances should be made to the director of the United State Geological Survey, Washington, D. C., who will promptly fill all orders.

AUTO GOES OVER BRIDGE, 1 MAN DROWNED OLD JOY RIDE ENDS IN DEATH OF OXNARD CATTLEMAN NEAR NEWPORT BEACH COMPANION NARROWLY ESCAPES DEATH IN WATERS OF RIVER BUT IS RESUSITATED Richard Boggs an Oxnard cattleman, killed and Gail Bergey of Huntington Beach narrowly escaped drowning day morning about 5:30 o'clock on an automobile driven by Boggs out off the bridge across the Santa Ana river at Newport Beach. Boggs probably met death instantaneously. Bruises about the head indicate that he was struck a death blow in the back. He was rescued a few minutes later the automobile went off the bridge, and was not breathing. Bergey was pulled out a few minutes later, and efforts to revive him were successful. The automobile, a 50-horsepower Ortiz owned by T. B. Talbert of Huntington Beach, for whom Bergey worked in the bottom of the river, a dock. Two timbers, 2 by 6 inches, were driven entirely through the automobile. There were bruises and lacerations on Boggs' chin, nose and forehead, as though he had struck some object heavily. That blow probably killed him. MEXICAN MURDERER GIVEN TWENTY YEARS Francisco Ortiz Sent Up For Killing Eulogio Hernandez Franisco Ortiz, charged with the murder of Eulogio Hernandez at Huntington Beach July 21st of yast year, changed his plea to guilty of murder in the second degree and was sentenced by Judge West to serve twenty years at San Quentin. Although the killing occurred at Huntington Beach on July 21st, of last year, Ortiz was not arrested until the December following, as he evaded until an employee of the Holly Sugar capture and fled to Colorado and not Company of Huntington Beach who knew Ortiz in this county, identified him at La Junta, Colo., was the whereabouts of the murderer discovered. Then Ortiz was arrested by the sheriff at La Junta and confined in the jail there until an officer from here went there and took him into custody and brought him back, Constable F. W. Heard being detailed from the sheriff's office here for the service. Ortiz was arraigned and given his preliminary examination here December 24th, of last year and held for trial in the Superior Court, and in answer to the arraignment charging murder in the first degree, pleaded not guilty and his case set for trial with Attorney Green, of Los Angeles, as his counsel. Yesterday Ortiz changed his mind about the degree of guilt and titled "No act to provide for work in and upon streets, avenues, lanes, alleys, courts, places and sidewalks within municipalities, and upon property and rights of way owned by municipalities, and for establishing and changing the grades of any such streets, avenues, lanes, alleys, courts, places and sidewalks, and providing for the issuance and payment of street improvement bonds to represent certain assessments for the cost thereof and providing a method for the payment of such bonds," approved April 7, 1911. The foregoing resolution was passed and adopted by the Board of Trustees of the City of Anaheim, this 19th day of April, 1913. M. NEBELUNG, President of the Board of Trustees of the City of Anaheim.

Merritt, City Clerk of the City of Anaheim, do hereby certify that the foregoing Resolution of Intention No. 100 was adopted at a regular meeting of the Board of Trustees of the City of Anaheim, held on the 10th day of April, 1913, by the following vote: Ayes, Trustees—Nebelung, Stark, Hammer, Cook and Gates. Noes, Trustees—None. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and affixed the official seal of the City of Anaheim, this 10th day of April, 1913. (Seal) EDWARD B. MERRITT, Clerk of the City of Anaheim. Resolution of Intention No. 101. Resolved by the Board of Trustees of the City of Anaheim: Section I. That the public interest and convenience require and that it is the intention of the Board of Trustees of the City of Anaheim to order the following street work to be done in said City, to-wit: That the roadway of South Los Angeles street in said City from the south property line of West Santa Ana street produced easterly across said South Los Angeles street to the north property line of West Broad street produced easterly across said South Los Angeles street (except therefrom those portions of the roadway of South Los Angeles street included between a line produced westerly to the center line of the roadway of South Los Angeles street at right angles to said center line from a point twenty-one and 75-100 feet north of the south He was rescued a few minutes after the automobile went off the bridge, and was not breathing. Berger was pulled out a few minutes later, and efforts to revive him were successful. The automobile, a 50-horsepower Otz owned by T. B. Talbert of Huntton Beach, for whom Bergey worked in the bottom of the river, a truck. Two timbers, 2 by 6 inches, were driven entirely through the automobile. Boggs was a Cherokee Indian. He bought and sold cattle all over South Carolina, with Oxnard, as his headquarters. For several days he been in this county on a two-week's vacation. Gail Bergey has worked for the Talbert brothers for years, in fact ever since he was boy. He has often had the use of the automobile belonging to T. B. Talbert, chairman of the Board of Supervisors. Talbert has been away for several days on business. Thursday night Bergey took the man out and with Boggs he was out going with two girls who live in Huntton Beach. About 2 o'clock Friday morning Walter Lake, of Talbert, saw them going through Talbert at a high rate of speed. The accident on the bridge was seen at least two people, Peter Figone, Italian employed by Emil Myrehn, and Mrs. Jake Souder. They think that the automobile was going thirty forty miles an hour when it struck the bridge. The bridge has recently been oiled and the rain of last night made the surface slippery. The driver may have lost control of the car may have skidded a bit, the east rail was struck, and seventy-feet of it was torn away. The speed of the automobile was such that two pieces of the rail were driven en-ly through the car. The automobile landed in about four feet of tidewater on the east side of the bridge, upon its side. Figone immediately called Myrehn and the two rushed to the place from Bryrenh's house, which is the closest to the bridge. Mrs. Souder called her husband, and he arrived at the bridge soon after Figone and Myrehn. The men waded into the water, which was up to their waists. Boggs was the first man taken out. It was evident that he was dead. One of Bergey's legs was seen justicking out of the water. The three there and took him into custody and brought him back, Constable F. W. Heard being detailed from the sheriff's office here for the service. Ortiz was arraigned and given his preliminary examination here December 24th, of last year and held for trial in the Superior Court, and in answer to the arraignment charging murder in the first degree, pleaded not guilty and his case set for trial with Attorney Green, of Los Angeles, as his counsel. Yesterday Ortiz changed his mind about the degree of guilt, and decided to plead guilty to murder in the second degree and on doing so was given a twenty year sentence. Evidence adduced at the preliminary examination was to the effect that on the day of the killing, Ortiz and another man went to the dwelling occupied by Hernandez and were drinking. Later Ortiz and Hernandez quarreled and Ortiz threatened to kill Hernandez, but the row was patched up at the time and Ortiz went away, but returned after nightfall and, calling Hernandez to the door, shot him with a revolver, inflicting a wound which proved fatal in the course of a few hours. Ortiz fled and went to El Paso, thence to La Junta, Colorado, where while at work in a sugar factory he was identified and arrested. Ted—"Do you think that woman should hold the reins?"

That the public interest and convenience require and that it is the intention of the Board of Trustees of the City of Anaheim to order the following street work to be done in said city, to-wit: That the roadway of North Los Angeles street in said city, from the north property line of West Sycamore street produced easterly to the center line of North Los Angeles street, and from the north property line of East Sycamore street produced westerly to the center line of North Los Angeles street to the south property line of West North Street produced easterly across North Los Angeles street (excepting therefrom the intersection of North Los Angeles street and West Alberta and East Alberta streets and the westerly one-half of North Los Angeles street between the northerly and southerly lines of Wilhelmina street produced easterly to the center line of North Los Angeles street), be graded to the official grade and paved with hydraulic cement concrete base and with asphaltic wearing surface. Said work shall be done in accordance with the plans, profiles and specifications thereof, which were adopted by the Board of Trustees of the City of Anaheim, by resolution, on the 10th day of April, 1913, which said plans and profiles numbered 13 are marked and designated "Plan of proposed improvements on South Los Angeles street, Anaheim, California," and are on file in the office of the City Engineer of the City of Anaheim, in the City Hall of said City, and which said specifications are marked and designated "Specifications No. 5. For construction of street paying with hydraulic cement and broken stone or screened gravel, and asphalt wearing surface in the City of Anaheim, California," which said specifications are on fine in the office of the City Clerk of the City of Anaheim, in the City Hall in said City. Section 2. It is hereby determined in pursuance of an act of the Legislature of the State of California, entitled "An act to provide for work in and upon streets, avenues, lanes, alleys, courts, places and sidewalks within municipalities, and upon property and rights of way owned by municipalities, and for establishing and changing the grades of any such streets, avenues lanes, alleys, courts, places and sidewalks, and providing for the issuance and payment of street improvement bonds to represent certain assessments for the cost thereof and providing a method for the payment of such bonds," approved April 7, 1911, that bonds shall be issued to represent the cost of said improvement. Said bonds shall be serial extending over a period of nine years from the second day of January next succeeding the date of said bonds, an even proportion of the principal sum of which shall be payable annually on the second day of January each year by coupon after their date until the whole are paid; and that the interest shall be payable semi-annually by coupon on the second days of January and July, respectively. Of each and every year at the rate of seven per cent per annum, on all sums unpaid, until the whole of said principal and interest are paid. Said bonds shall be issued in accordance with and in manner provided by the aforesaid Improvement Act of 1911. The men waded into the water, which was up to their waists. Boggs was the first man taken out. It was evident that he was dead. One of Bergey's legs was seen justicking out of the water. The three men extricated the man from the machine and took him on to the bridge. He was unconscious from downing. He was taken to Myrehn's house, and the work of resuscitation was begun. First aid methods were employed. A telephone message was sent to Santa Ana for Dr. Berlew, who arrived in short order. Bergey was already showing signs of like. Bergey may have received a blow and it is possible that that was the reason he did not recover consciousness. About 8 o'clock he was put into Dr. Burlew's automobile and taken to the Santa Ana hospital. At first it was thought that there were three men in the automobile when it went off the bridge. That proved to be incorrect. When last seen at Talbert about 4:30 o'clock, Boggs and Bergey were alone. The wrecked machine was searched by fishermen, and on other body was found. Bergey was under water probably fifteen minutes, with his head down. About 11 o'clock he became conscious, and there is every prospect that he will recover. "Dick" Boggs was an expert cattleman. He was an educated Cherokee Indian, and was engaged in buying cattle in the Territory and in Texas before coming to California. For some time he has been buying for the Patterson Ranch Company of Ventura County. He had arranged to go to Oceanside with Henry Talbert for a visit on Jerome O'Neill's cattle ranch. He has relatives in Oklahoma.
