WATER COMMISSION BILL MEETS OPPOSITION TRI-COUNTIES COMMITTEE ADOPT RESOLUTION PROTESTING AGAINST MEASURE HELD TO BE INIMICAL TO INTERESTS OF IRRIGATORS IN THIS VALLEY By a vote of 13 to 10, the Tri-Counties Reforestation Committee on Monday morning at a meeting held at Santa Ana, went on record against the Water Commission bill now before the State legislature. Out of 37 members of the committee, 23 were present. It was a special meeting called for the purpose of considering the measure. The resolution as passed follows: "The Tri-Counties Reforestation Committee in special session at Santa Ana, Cal., on this 28th day of April, 1913, do resolve and declare that we are bitterly opposed to the passage of Assembly Bill 642, including any amendments (water commission bill so-called), and request all members of the legislature from the counties of Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino, to use every honorable means to defeat the same; and be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be PROTECTION DISTRICT UNDER DISCUSSION (Continued from page 1.) Secretary Ahlborn, of the board of trade, said that the assessed valuation of all property in the proposed protection district is $15,000,000, he thought that a tax of 20 cents on the $100 for the first five years, making a total of $30,000 yearly for the work, would be sufficient to carry on necessary improvements. After the five years, he said, probably the river would be in such good condition that an assessment of 10 cents would probably be sufficient to keep up the protection and that probably later the rate could be further decreased. As only $5,000 has been spent upon river protection in this section in the last 20 years, he said, he thought $30,000 a year ought to be sufficient to afford adequate protection, without loading a tax upon the people that some of them would find it difficult to pay. J. W. Duckworth said that the report that the forming of the district would cost $10 to $12 per acre was absurd, and that 50 cents per acre ought to cover the cost. To this Mr. Cole stated that in the Artesia district, he understood that the cost had been $5 per acre, and that $150,000 has been spent in river protection in that district. C. E. Chamberlain said that while he had not given the matter very much thought, it seemed to him the river would have to be curbed some time, and why not now. If the work be done "The Tri-Counties Reforestation Committee in special session at Santa Ana, Cal., on this 28th day of April, 1913, do resolve and declare that we are bitterly opposed to the passage of Assembly Bill 642, including any amendments (water commission bill so-called), and request all members of the legislature from the counties of Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino, to use every honorable means to defeat the same; and be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be wired at once to the representatives of the above counties in the legislature." The meeting was called to order by the chairman, Francis Cuttle, of Riverside. He and J. P. Baumgartner, of Santa Ana, members of the State Conservation Commission, where the bill had its inception, were present. E. E. Keech, of Santa Ana, stated that he had been in Sacramento and that certain amendments had been made so that the bill so far as it touches irrigation deals only with surface water, and that therefore the interests of underground waters would not be affected. He said the bill had been carefully considered, and he favors it as it now stands. A. G. Kendall, a San Bernardino county representative, introduced the resolution opposing the bill. Then came a discussion in which Keech and H. Clay Kellogg, of Santa Ana, E. P. Clarke, George Frost and Francis Cuttle, of Riverside, spoke against Kendall's resolution, and Kendall, G. A. Atwood, Kenneth McRae and Seth Marshall, of San Bernardino county, Robert Irving, of Riverside, Samuel Armor, of Orange, G. W. Sherwood, of Fullerton, and J. W. Newell, of Placentia, spoke for the resolution. The opponents of the bill declared that while Northern California needed the regulation provided in it, Southern California did not. Those favoring the bill declared it was the result of a long study of conditions and is needed to protect the people's water power rights. Chairman Cuttle stated that he thought the time to have made a fight against the measure as a principle was at some time in the last year and a half. The committee had suggested various amendments, which have been made to the original bill, and now it was proposed to strike at the bill as a whole. He thought the time to have given an expression on the principle of the bill was before the present critical time when there is a climax in the fight at the legislature. Roll call showed 13 votes in favor of the resolution and 10 against. The resignation of W. G. Fraser of Kitty Measor Out Pending Hearing Kitty Measor was released Monday on bail, pending the review of her case by the State Superior court, a hearing before which has been set for May 5. Mrs. Measor was sentenced to 13 months on two counts, charging violation of the Wylie local option bill by selling liquor at Delhi. The case was port that the forming of the district would cost $10 to $12 per acre was absurd, and that 50 cents per acre ought to cover the cost. To this Mr. Cole stated that in the Artesia district, he understood that the cost had been $5 per acre, and that $150,000 has been spent in river protection in that district. C. E. Chamberlain said that while he had not given the matter very much thought, it seemed to him the river would have to be curbed some time, and why not now. If the work be done immediately, all danger for the next 100,000 years is lessened and generation after generation will reap the benefit of the work. When the river goes on a rampage, he said, somebody gets the damage, and something ought to be done to prevent this. Supervisor Schumacher, when asked to state if the limit of taxes could be fixed by voters in the district, said that the district attorney had been asked to render a decision on the protection district matter, and would report later. To date he could not give an answer to the question. Daniel Crosmann, engineer of the Southern Pacific, and Engineer West of the Santa Fe, were in attendance at the meeting, but they said they had not gone over the ground and could therefore not give any idea of the cost. They would prefer to listen and see what it was planned to do before making a statement. The matter was disposed of by Secretary Ahlborn, who made a motion that it be recommended to the board of supervisors that the rate for assessments in the new district be 20 cents for the first five years and whatever decrease is possible after that should be made finally bringing the rate to 5 cents per $100 yearly. The motion was carried unanimously. Another matter which occupied some time, was the matter of citrus tariff rates. Mills introduced a resolution fixing what growers in this section consider a fair minimum rate for citrus fruits, and after adoption it was moved and carried that a copy of the resolution be forwarded to the president, vice-president, speaker of the house and all the members of congress from California.

Roll call showed 13 votes in favor of the resolution and 10 against. The resignation of W. G. Fraser of Riverside, as a member of the committee, was accepted, and Robert Irving was elected in his place. Chairman Cuttle stated that if the committee thought that his position in favor of the water commission bill, being opposed by the committee, was such that the committee thought better harmony could be kept by his resignation, he would offer it. Immediately there was half a dozen opponents of the bill on their feet protesting that Cuttle should not be allowed to resign. The president and secretary were instructed to draw up resolutions of regret over the death of E. W. Holmes of Riverside, a member of the committee. Adjournment was taken to next October, when the meeting will be held at the Arrowhead hotel. A party of local Woodmen of the World, members of the team, and officers and members of Anaheim lodge, to the number of 30, went to Whittier Friday night, and exemplified lodge work at that point, initiating a large class of candidates.

The party arrived home in the early hours of the morning, making the trip in automobiles in record time. Hand power or electric washing machines at Dickel's.

The case was appealed on the ground that where a county prohibition ordinance is in force in the county, the Wylie law is inoperative. W. G.

Friends gathered at the depot in time to shower them with rice, and give them a happy send-off for their trip.

A letter to this effect has been sent to the supervisors by the president and secretary, and a committee has circulated petitions of protest to be signed. These will be presented by E. K.
