CITY TRUSTEES IN REGULAR SESSION CONTRACT AWARDED FOR FURNISHING THE CITY WITH CAST IRON WATER PIPE. A. A. MILLS RAISES OBJECTION TO PAVING NORTH STREET INTERSECTION. The attention of the city trustees at Thursday night's meeting was largely taken up with receiving bids and awarding contracts for supplying the city with water pipe. Five bids were received. H. R. Boynton Co. and R. E. Allen submitted bids so much higher than the others that they were put out of the running. The total of the other three bidders were American Cast Iron Company, $3781; Lynchburg Foundry Company, $3779.45; U. S. Cast Iron Pipe and Foundry Company, $3734. Each of the bids was accompanied by a certified check for $200 as required by the call for bids. After comparisons and discussions, the contract was ordered awarded to the U. S. Cast Iron Pipe and Foundry Company. The pipe is to be used in laying water mains on Lemon street, which will extend from the northern to the southern city limits. H. G. Ames, city attorney, who has been investigating the case recently brought up by Fritz Ruhman, in which the latter said that his brick building would be built. SEARCHING RECORDS FOR STATE ROAD TITLES Work Preliminary to Beginning of Highway Construction Through Orange County. Spencer V. Cortelyou, chief assistant engineer of division 7, California Highway Commission, and Mr. Godfrey, also of the engineering department of the state commission, are at Santa Ana searching the county's titles to roads proposed to be improved by the state. The State Highway Commission does not do any paving on roads to which the county's title is not clear. It is thought that there will be little trouble over titles to the roads to be paved by the state in this county. The route follows the main traveled road from La Habra through this city to the San Diego line. The stakes that have been set in some places in the south do not conform to the road traveled, and new deeds may be required. The state commission will have its work. Mr. Cortelyou is of the opinion that it will not be long before the actual construction of a state road through this county would be commenced.

After comparisons and discussions, the contract was ordered awarded to the U. S. Cast Iron Pipe and Foundry Company. The pipe is to be used in laying water mains on Lemon street, which will extend from the northern to the southern city limits. H. G. Ames, city attorney, who has been investigating the case recently brought up by Fritz Ruhman, in which the latter said that his brick building on an alley between Los Angeles and Lemon street, had been injured beyond repair by the laying of a sewer pipe line too near the foundation of the building, reported that in his opinion the city had not assumed any liability for what damage had been done, and advised that the matter be dropped. This report was accepted and the matter allowed to drop. The bond of Wm. A. Wallace of $5000 as collector of the city of Anaheim was presented and ordered accepted. The contract between the city and M. C. Chase for the drilling of a well on the city's property on South Los Angeles street, was presented and ordered accepted. The contract provides that the well shall be completed within fifteen days after the signing of the contract. A. A. Mills appeared before the board and protested against the paving of the intersection of North and Los Angeles streets as at present planned. The property line on Los Angeles street outside the city limits is 10 1-2 feet nearer to the center of the street than inside the city, and it no change be made in this property line, the pavement to be put in by the city at the intersection will continue the regular width inside the city to the center of North street, then jog in 5 1-4 feet, and continue to the north line of North street. Mr. Mills said he did not like the idea of this jog, and would like to have the pavement extend straight north. City Engineer Steward informed him that unless he should deed a 10 1-2 foot strip along the street to the county for the road, and thus place the property line to correspond with that inside the city no action could be taken in the matter by the city council. Property owners on the west side of the street are opposed to the deeding of a strip of 10 feet for street and unless this be done, the paving will be carried out as at present contemplated. Chas. Doussourt stated to the board that no call had been sent out for help for sprinkling the streets since WE EXPORT LESS BEEF THAN SIX YEARS AGO Decrease in Herds in County One Cause for High Price of Meat. The United States was exporting more than thirty-six times as much fresh beef and cattle six years ago as it sends abroad today, as shown by statistics made public by the department of commerce. In the first nine months of the present fiscal year, ending March 31, there was exported only 5,479,439 pounds of fresh beef and 13,598 pounds of cattle as compared with 200,069,729 pounds of fresh beef and 307,726 pounds of cattle in the same months of 1907. The intervening years reveal uninterrupted decrease. Another feature of the report is the statement that while the population of the country has increased 11 per cent since 1907, the number of beef cattle has decreased 20 per cent. Furthermore, 220,000 head of cattle came into the country in the first eight months this year, against only 12,500 in 1907. In the calendar year past the United States exported 900,000 pounds of fresh beef while Argentina sent 756,000,000 pounds, Australia 109,000,-000, New Zealand 27,250,000 pounds, and Uruguay 21,000,000. To the United Kingdom Argentina sent 739,000,-000 pounds, against 684,000 pounds from this country. The number of beef cattle in the United States in 1907 was 51,500,000; today it is 36,-000,000. The United States surpassed its rivals, however, in prices obtained, having received last year for beef exported an average of 11.67 cents a pound, compared with 4.38 for Argentina, 4.98 for Australia and 5 for New Zealand beef. Without alleging that the Anaheim Union Water company has no right to enter into any other business than that of distributing water, Carolina B. Pittman and Matt Pittman have filed an answer to the complaint in the action brought by the Anaheim Union Water company and E. V. Benjamin against the Pittmans and the Boraby Oil company. The oil company's answer was filed several days ago. It declared that under the articles of incorporation of the water company it could not enter enterprises not to do with the Santa Barbara output in 1911, ceded last year no county open city of the metropolitan branch of the city as follows: San Luis Obispo Lake and Trinity above, owners ties from the ties answered the State Minneapolis Stanislaus numbers 80 perver production comes from California produce County Fresno...

Property owners on the west side of the street are opposed to the deeding of a strip of 10 feet for street and unless this be done, the paving will be carried out as at present contemplated. Chas. Doussourt stated to the board that no call had been sent out for bids for sprinkling the streets since the running out of last year's contract, and suggested that bids be asked for the work. As the former contract with the present incumbent of the office, R. A. Fossek, has run out three months ago, bids were accordingly ordered asked for sprinkling the streets for the ensuing year, bids to be opened the latter part of May. Plans and profiles for gutters on the proposed paving to be done in the city shortly, were read and accepted. Building permits were granted as follows: H. G. Melcher, contractor, for Miss A. F. Gates, to construct a residence on Illinois street; cost, $2700. L. Goble, to construct a frame building on rear of East Broadway lot; cost $200. At a special meeting held the previous week, the bid of M. C. Chace for sinking the well at the power house was accepted. The well is to be 16 inches in diameter, and will be sunk to a depth of from 100 to 500 feet, at a cost of $3.70 per foot. Several bids for furnishing a pump for the well were put in, and the bid of the Krogh Manufacturing company of $1957 f. o. b. Anaheim, was accepted. Gazette—Recognized want-ad. medium.

QUICKSILVER IN CALIFORNIA SHOWS GAIN OUTPUT OF $866,024 IN 1912 EXCEEDS THAT OF PRECEDING TWELVE MONTHS 80 PER CENT OF TOTAL PRODUCT OF UNITED STATES COMES FROM CALIFORNIA Quicksilver production in California during 1912 amounted to 20,600 flasks having a total value of $866,-024, as compared with the 1911 output of 19,109 flasks valued at $879,-205. The average price per flask, of 75 pounds, suffered a decrease of $3.97 in 1912, as compared with the previous year, thus causing a decrease of 1.5 per cent in the total produced while the amount increased 7.9 per cent. Eight counties reported a production of quicksilver during 1912, against nine for 1911. Colusa and Santa Barbara counties had a small output in 1911, which was not duplicated last year; and during 1912 Fresno county operators shipped a quantity of the metal for the first time. The eight producing counties, in the order of their importance in this branch of the mineral industry, are as follows: San Benito, Santa Clara, San Luis Obispo, Sonoma, Fresno, Lake and Trinity. In addition to the above, owners of quicksilver properties from the following twelve counties answered inquiries sent out by UNIVERSITY DAIRY DEMONSTRATION TRAIN Three Weeks' Tour Creates Much Interest Among Schools of State. The College of Agriculture of the University of California has just completed three weeks' tour of a demonstration train, over the lines of the Santa Fe and the Northwestern Pacific railroads. This year efforts were concentrated on the dairy industry. From the flat car were made demonstrations in the judging of dairy animals and upon the profitable use of grain on the growth of pigs. The subjects of contagious abortion and tuberculosis were also treated. The most striking feature of the campaign was the large number of high schools which were dismissed in order that the students might visit the train. Special lectures were given to these young people. Of them, thirty to fifty per cent, or more were from farms and ranches. It is estimated that of the 14,725 people who visited the train, fully 5800 were school children. The general interest shown by these young people in the lectures was very gratifying to those interested in the development of agricultural education. The insufficient supply of good cows was evident in every county visited. Increased production of dairy products is not keeping up with the growth of population and increased demand. Assistant District Attorney Clark was conducting a case in the criminal court. A large, rough-shouldered negro wah in the witness chair. "An' then," said the witness, "we all went down the alley, an' shot a few craps." "Ah," said Mr. Clark, sinking his eye. SPENCER VS. SCHULTZ Suit is brought to Recover Gas Engine or Its Value in Cash. An amended complaint in the case of F. C. Spencer vs. J. A. Schulte was filed in the Superior Court this week. The suit is one in which the plaintiff seeks the recovery of one gas engine or its value, $1000, in cash. According to the complaint the engine belonged to W. K. Fogg, of Buena Park, but in some manner passed to the possession of Schulte. Spencer purchased the engine from Fogg. Demand has been made on Schulte for surrender of the property and he has declined to relinquish it. BOOZE-FEST LEADS TO DIVORCE Geroge Eells, of Garden Grove, has filed suit for divorce from Edna Eells his wife. Defendant in the case is the same woman who figured in the township court at Santa Ana recently for disturbing the peace near Garden Grove during the booze-fest in which she and a woman from Los Angeles were the principals.

BASKET WILLOW GROWS IN CALIFORNIA Many Lands in Riverside Bottoms to Be Utilized for New Industry. The office of the U. S. Forestry Service at San Francisco has been notified that the Department of Agriculture is getting ready to fill requests for basket willow cuttings grown last year on one of the government experiment stations. Distributions of these cuttings take place each spring, to farmers and others who wish to make trials of basket willow on lands too wet for other crops. From 50 to 100 cuttings are given to each person. Marshy lands in river bottoms might be profitably utilized for the production of basket willow. Experiments would probably reveal several varieties adapted to climatic and soil conditions in different sections of the state, and demonstrate that the manufacture of willow baskets is an industrial possibility. The trees have been propagated on the government experiment farm at Arlington, Va., and inquiries addressed to the Department of Agriculture, Washington, D.
