COUNTY SALARIES REDUCED BY LEGISLATURE SENATOR ANDERSON'S ECONOMY PLAN GIVEN ENDORSEMENT BY SOLONS COUNTY VETERNARIAN'S SALARY GETS TREMENDOUS SLASH By provisions of the new county government act as put through the legislature by State Senator Anderson and Assemblyman Weisel, provision is made for several radical changes in the method of compensation of county officials. County Recorder Peters will be taken off a salary and fee basis and put on a straight salary of $2,200 a year. County Clerk Williams, Sheriff Ruddock and Assessor Sleeper are put on lower salaries with provisions that hereafter they need not expect to pay from their salaries anything for the running of their offices. Stock Inspector Closson will be put on a $900 salary instead of $1,500 salary. Assessor Sleeper will have a fund set apart for his field deputies that he may use in hiring any number of field deputies at the time he thinks most desirable, instead of having a set number that must be used during a period of four months. In 1915 the salary of the treasurer will be raised from $1,500 to $2,000. The salary of the auditor, according to Anderson's amendment, will be cut from $2,000 to $1,800 now, to be raised back to $2,000 in 1915. The assessor's salary was finally fixed at $3,000 instead of $2,500, with not over $500 for traveling expenses. COUNTY ordinance gives salary of $1,-500. New bill, $900. Grand jurors, superior court jurors, justice court jurors in civil cases, $2 per day; justice court jurors in criminal cases, $1 per day each. W. I. SMITH GOES TO EUROPE Writes Letter Regarding Recent Experiences From Vessel in Mid-Ocean Arcadian, at Sea, April 4, 1913. Editor Gazette: I want to thank you on behalf of Mrs. Smith and myself for the impartial manner in which you used the matter of bogus conspiracy charged against me of recent date in your township. I think the fair-minded spirit which no doubt characterizes your newspaper principles is a valuable asset and one you should cherish. I may add that I am awfully sorry that thing happened, for really a man never moved into a town, that he thought he would like, as well as I thought I would like Anaheim. And if I must say it myself I am sure it would have done the town no harm. Consequently I feel like using Ruskin and saying: "I do not wonder at what men suffer, but I do wonder at what they lose." As you will notice from paper I am at sea. I came very near to a nervous breakdown from the shock of having to live to be 43 and then not know enough to escape arrest. Yet I am compelled to add that it is an unfortunate town that does not know the difference between a scamp and a gentleman. I did not mean to indulge in any township affairs when I wrote this and trust you will overlook the paragraph. My principle reason in writing was to thank you and ask you to send my paper to 229 West 25th street, Los Angeles, as I shall be in Europe about two months, I shall enjoy reading them in rotation when I return. Again thanking you, I am, very truly yours, WILL I. SMITH, Formerly 231 E. Broad St., Anaheim. hiring any number of field deputies at the time he thinks most desirable, instead of having a set number that must be used during a period of four months. In 1915 the salary of the treasurer will be raised from $1,500 to $2,000. The salary of the auditor, according to Anderson's amendment, will be cut from $2,000 to $1,800 now, to be raised back to $2,000 in 1915. The assessor's salary was finally fixed at $3,000 instead of $2,500, with not over $500 for traveling expenses. Additional deputies are allowed in the offices of the clerk, district attorney and sheriff. The bill provides for reducing the salary of the auditor from $2,000 to $1,800; raising the amount the tax collector may expend for office help from $1,500 to $1,700; striking out a section that stated that the bill shall go into effect in January, 1915, the effect of this being evidently to have the bill go into effect 90 days after the adjournment of the legislature. The following outline, showing a comparison of the present compensation with those provided in the new act will be of interest: County Clerk—At present, salary is $3,250, from which stenographer and necessary office help is paid; one deputy at $1,200; registration deputies allowed seven and a half cents per name. New bill, salary $2,400; one deputy for each department of superior court, at $1,200 each; one office deputy, $900; registration deputies get seven and a half cents per name. Sheriff—At present, salary $4,000, from which is paid salary of undersheriff, stenographer and other deputies needed by the office, mileage and fees; jailer, $1,000. New bill, salary $2,500, mileage and fees; jailer, $1,000; two bailiffs at $1,000 each; office deputy, $720. Recorder—At present, salary $1,500 and four and a half cents per folio, recorder to pay all his help. New bill, $2,200 salary; one deputy, $1,000; two deputies at $900 each; one deputy, $720; all fees and commissions shall go to the county. Auditor—At present, $2,000 salary; office help, $900.

Assessor—At present, salary $3,500. M’DANNALD OFFERS SENSIBLE SUGGESTION If Mikado's Men Do Not Like California's Laws, Let Them Emigrate to a More Congenial Clime Los Angeles, May 1, 1913. Editor Gazette: I have just read your editorial in this week's issue of the Gazette on "The Incident at Chemulpo." It is so clean-cut and self-explanatory that I want to congratulate you for the courage of your convictions in penning so able and fearless a summary of the situation as it appears to thousands of us. If the little black ants don't like our style, let them knock at the door of another "inn" farther down the line. Yours truly, D. W. McDANNALD. PANAMA PACIFIC AUTO RACE Mighty Cars Will Run From Los Angeles to San Francisco No event in western racing history has ever occasioned such an early rush of entries as the Los Angeles to San Francisco road race scheduled for July 4th. Not only is the big prize money proving an incentive to the racing driver but the contest from a sporting standpoint is appealing to the private owners and there will in all probability be at least a dozen privately owned machines in the race. Already entry checks have been received for eight cars among the latest being from that king of track drivers Barney Oldfield. Oldfield is a star attraction for any race meet. He is one of the veteran drivers of the country and as an attraction is one of the best in the sport. Oldfield will drive a Mercer and this great driver should shine in an event such as this will be. Oldfield has always been a heady driver. He was never lacking in daring and nerve but it has been his head that has proved of greatest value. He is a fast driver but at the same time a difference between a scamp and a gentleman. I did not mean to indulge in any township affairs when I wrote this and trust you will overlook the paragraph. My principle reason in writing was to thank you and ask you to send my paper to 229 West 25th street, Los Angeles, as I shall be in Europe about two months. I shall enjoy reading them in rotation when I return. Again thanking you, I am very truly yours, WILL I. SMITH, Formerly 231 E. Broad St., Anaheim. SOUTHERN CALL BUILDING Company Will Start its Short Time, Occupant Sign The John Simpson Company, holding the company Southern California bus San Diego 1915 Exposited permission by Board of Works, to co-operate on the building. Preference such as the erection of Auditor—At present, $2,000 salary; office help, $900. New bill, $2,000 salary; office help, $1,200. Treasurer—At present, $1,500 salary; one deputy, $900. New bill, salary $1,500, deputy $900, provided that after January 1, 1915, treasurer's salary shall be $2,000. Tax Collector—At present, salary $2,000; one deputy for nine months at $75; office help, $1,200. New bill, salary $2,000; one deputy for nine months at $75; office help, $1,500. Assessor—At present, salary $3,500, from which needed office help is paid; chief deputy, $1,200; seven field deputies for four months at $130 a month each; no fees or commissions. New bill, salary $3,000; chief deputy, $1,200; office deputy, $750; field deputies' fund aggregating $5,000; no fees or commissions. District Attorney—At present, salary $2,500, from which a stenographer is paid; one deputy, $1,200. New bill, salary $2,500; two deputies at $1,200 each; after January 1, 1915, one stenographer at $720. Coroner—At present and in new bill, fees. Public Administrator—Same. Superintendent of Schools—At present, salary $2,250; deputy, $600. New bill, salary $2,250; deputy, $780. Surveyor—Both bills, $8 a day when employed. Justice of Peace, Constable—Salaries according to township, ranging from $10 to $75 per month. No change except that after January 1, 1915, two-thirds of all justice's marriage fees shall be turned in to the county. Supervisors—Both bills, salary $500, with not over $600 a year for road supervision. Live Stock Inspector—At present Oldfield is a star attraction for any race meet. He is one of the veteran drivers of the country and as an attraction is one of the best in the sport. Oldfield will drive a Mercer and this great driver should shine in an event such as this will be. Oldfield has always been a heady driver. He was never lacking in daring and nerve but it has been his head that has proved of greatest value. He is a fast driver but at the same time a conservative one and he should be reckoned with in this race. Another entry that will undoubtedly mean the entry of an equally as famous driver is the Fiat, entered by E. E. Howlett. The driver has not been named but it will undoubtedly be Teddy Tetzlaff. There is no better driver in the world than Tetzlaff. He has starred on the road and track and during the past two years has won more road races than all other American drivers combined. Tetzlaff is another star who immediately adds class to the long Fourth of July grind. The other entries that have been received up to date are two Cadallics, a Cole, Apperson and two Simplexs. BASEBALL FATALITIES A baseball enthusiast took his wife to the ball game. That night the "fan" was awakened from his slumber by his better half shouting in her dreams: "Kill the umpire! Kill the umpire!" Half asleep, he sprang out of bed and in doing so knocked over Mrs. "Fan." "Did you kill the umpire, John?" she inquired. "No," replied John angrily, "but I smashed the pitcher." TRIANGLE TRACK MEET TO BE HELD SATURDAY WILL DOUBTLESS BE LARGEST MEET EVER HELD IN COUNTY —HUNDREDS ENTERED NOW 1,800 MEMBERS OF LEAGUE, ALMOST ALL HAVE TAKEN PART IN ATHLETICS The Tri-angle League county track meet Saturday, May 10, will doubtless be the largest track meet ever held in Orange county. This is to be accounted for by the large number of members of this league in the county who have been taking part in the school yard athletics promoted by this league. Of the 1800 boys and girls of the grammar schools who have joined this organization, it is safe to say that three-fourths have participated in some of the athletic work already carried on by this league. At the final meet every boy will be given the chance to compete with boys of the same weight class to which he belongs, and each one making the required records in each of his events will receive a bronze button badge. Those falling short of this but making three-fourths of the points will receive a ribbon badge. These will count toward the school championship, badges counting two points and ribbons one. The school winning this championship will receive a beautiful banner. This meet will be held on the Lincoln athletic grounds in Santa Ana, May 10th, beginning at 1 P. M. Tickets are on sale at 25 cents for adults and 15 cents for pupils. An exhibition of school yard games will be given by selected groups of girls. As the boys are divided into five groups, and each group will be busy most of the time, this will be in reality like a five-ring circus. The events for each class and the required records are given as follows: In the 60 to 80 FORESTERS KEEP WATCH OVER RANGERS How Fires Are Prevented by Lookouts on Mountains On the top of a huge boulder on the extreme top of Hot Springs mountain, about seven miles north of Warner’s Hot Springs, is a little, one-room frame building that has been built to serve as a lookout tower for the rangers of the Cleveland national forest to be used in locating fires. Windows have been fitted into the walls of the building on all four sides to afford a view of as much of the forest as possible. In the center of the room stands a table with a map of the territory within a radius of 10 miles of the station. It is drawn in detail and around it all is drawn a circle graduated into degrees. The forest ranger on duty in the tower is furnished with a pair of field glasses and a compass. As soon as he locates any smoke on the horizon he at once gets its direction from the tower by the use of the compass. Then he turns to the map and lays out the line on it. Other rangers in similar lookouts spot the smoke and locate it from their positions. Then all telephone headquarters where all the lines are drawn on one map. They converge on the exact location of the fire. This enables the chief forester to send his fire fighters directly to the scene of the fire. Fires have been located in this way at a distance of from 65 to 70 miles. Last summer one was discovered in the Angeles forest 70 miles away and reported to rangers before they had located it themselves. In addition to the one already in operation on Hot Springs mountain, there is one practically finished on top of Santiago peak, near Santa Ana, and another is being planned for the summit of Cuyamaca mountain. These have attracted considerable attention and other foresters have sent to the San Diego office for plans so as to build similar towers on their reservations. WALLACE'S ABLE ADDRESS Unpreparedness Leads to Awkward Situation at San Quentin Penitentiary. Lieutenant Governor Wallace is an exceedingly nervous man. When he had his Homeric parliamentary encounter with Senator Caminetti in the legislature he felt the strain so severely that he was unable to take the chair in the senate for several days subsequently. In illustration of this state of mind I am going to give a story which may or may not be authentic of his first visit to the San Quentin penitentiary. The warren gathered up his flock to listen to a brief address by the lieutenant governor, who had not prepared himself for anything of that sort and was plainly embarrassed. Then he gathered himself up and began: "My fellow citizens—" That did not sound just right and he made another dash. "My fellow convicts—" The prisoners began to grin and Mr. Wallace did the same and broke loose again: "Well, I don't know exactly how to address you boys, but I'm mighty glad to see so many of you here." —E.

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA BUILDING AT FAIR Company Will Start its Erection in a Short Time, Occupies Important Site The John Simson Construction Company, holding the contract for the Southern California building for the San Diego 1915 Exposition, has been granted permission by the Exposition Board of Works, to commence work on the building. Preliminary work, such as the erection of tool-houses and KELP FERTILIZER Increase of Productivity of From 17 to 43 Per Cent by the Use of Seaweed Experiments with kelp as a fertilizer, conducted by the Bureau of Soils of the Department of Agriculture, at Washington, has shown that the seaweeds are equal to any of the potash soil aids. The soil treated by kelp produced an increase in growth over the untreated soil of from 17 to 43 per cent. On experiments with Volusia soil, kelp gave an average increase of 23 per cent, potassium sulphate 25 per cent, and potassium chloride 22 per cent. Each of the potash fertilizers had a beneficial effect on the Volusia silt loam. In addition to the amount of potash added to the soil by the kelp, a small amount of nitrogen and phosphorus proved effective. From the experiment the bureau draws the conclusion that dried kelp and ignited alumite are about as effective potash fertilizers as the potassium sulphate and potassium chloride salts. According to the story, three French boys were studying a volume of Shakespeare in their own tongue, their task being to render portions of it into English. When they came to Hamlet's famous soliloquy, "To be or not to be," their respective translations were as follows: (1) "To was or not to am"; (2) "To were or is to not"; (3) "To should or not to will."

Preliminary work, such as the erection of tool-houses and offices for the contractors, is now completed. The plans call for a magnificent building whose site will be the first inside the east gate, and it will be the first structure seen by the visitor arriving at the exposition grounds by that gate. The building will be 225 by 250 feet over all, and in it will be housed the indoor exhibits of Southern California and various processes of the production. This building will also contain a motion picture theater, where films, showing Southern California life will be exhibited. The building will be placed at the entrance to ten acres of every kind of citrus and deciduous fruit grown in California, and one of the most beautiful garden schemes possible to produce. In addition to the main Southern California building and exhibits, there will be a model country home, containing eight acres of ground under cultivation. In the midst of this will be built a handsome bungalow, stables and garage, surrounding which there will be a model orchard, gardens, poultry runs—in short everything going to make up the complete and comfortable California country home.
