OLIVE BRIDGE IS UNANIMOUSLY ENDORSED NORTHERN COUNTY MEN SPEAK IN ITS SUPPORT AT FULLER-TON MEETING DELEGATES OF CIVIC BODIES PROMISE AID FROM THEIR ORGANIZATIONS (Continued from page 1.) the near future. Mr. Bishop said the construction of the bridge and paved highway should engage the earnest attention of citizens throughout the valley, but that the question of liability for causing overflows into other territory should be taken up for adjustment at the earliest possible moment. He was of opinion that if the work of protecting the bridge were done under authority of the board of supervisors, after funds for such work had been raised by the people, it might afford an agreeable solution of the problem. He asked Supervisor Schumacher, who was present, what the attitude of the board of supervisors would probably be under the circumstances. Mr. Schumacher said the board was most anxious to begin work upon a concrete span bridge and were also eager to see the paving of the east side road taken up as speedily as possible. Relative to the board's doing the work of protecting the bridge after the necessary funds had been raised, he was ELECTRIC LINE EXTENDED Riverside and San Bernardino to Be Connected by Trolley That Riverside and San Bernardino will be connected by trolley by September 1 was the promise made by George E. Pillsbury, chief engineer of the Pacific Electric. Pillsbury stated further that all the private rights of way had been secured for the extension of the Magnolia avenue line to Corona, and that construction on this extension would be commenced as soon as the board of supervisors is ready to vacate the section of Magnolia avenue lying between the city limits and Corona through which the survey runs. "One thing that is sure to come," said Pillsbury, "is the road line through Santa Ana Canyon to connect La Habra with Corona. I believe that in the near future this will become one of our greatest back-country lines. "When we can run our trains from Los Angeles to San Bernardino by way of Corona and from San Bernardio to Los Angeles by way of Ontario and Pomona, we shall have need of four tracks through Riverside to care for the congestion during the busy hours of the day." AT NICARAGUA, TOO It appears that the activities or threatened activities of a European power with reference to the Nicaragua canal route have had a part in forcing the developments of the last few days wherein its department of state announces its policy of a protectorate over the republic of Nicaragua. Neither Mr. Bryan nor the president is inclined toward imperialism. Quite to the contrary. The country is, therefore, justified in assuming that the oil notes NEIGHBOR FIELDS STANDARD WELCOME RANCH PROVES THE BEST IN WEST LAND VALUES IN NEW JERSEY PER ACRE No. 3 well on this proves to be one of developed in the western oil field.

The bad luck several weeks Mr. Schumacher said the board was most anxious to begin work upon a concrete span bridge and were also eager to see the paving of the east side road taken up as speedily as possible. Relative to the board's doing the work of protecting the bridge after the necessary funds had been raised, he was not prepared to say, but he felt certain the board would meet the people more than half way in the enterprise. Secretary Nelson spoke emphatically in favor of the improvements, and said there should be little difficulty in raising necessary funds. Buena Park, which recognized the possibility of future overflow, was ready to render all assistance. J. F. Allborn spoke at some length in reference to the great benefits to accrue to this entire section by construction of the bridge and the paved road leading to it. He said travel from the interior counties to the coast would come this way, the road to the ocean hitherward being shorter by many miles than other routes. Much travel from the interior to Los Angeles would also travel this road going through Fullerton, La Habra or Buena Park. He asked co-operation in financing the project on the part of people of these as well as all other sections. Unless we build the bridge, he said, the highway leading to it will not be paved, and this will prove a serious loss to highways in this part of the county. Mr. Bishop said the elimination of this paved road was not to be for a moment considered, and that all sections should co-operate in seeing to it that both bridge and roadway be speedily built. Geo. L. Dietrich spoke earnestly in favor of river protection, and asked the meeting to tell them how best to go about it. He had given much thought to the matter and had considered a big protection district, a smaller protection district, and raising funds by popular subscription. He understood perfectly the ever-present menace of overflow, felt satisfied the banks of the river should be protected, but was not exactly satisfied as to which means to adopt to bring about that end. He exhibited a blue print map of the channel, showing work already done by the Santa Fe Railroad Company west of Yorba, and work yet remaining to be done a distance of several miles to the proposed new bridge. The matter was discussed by a number of other gentlemen all of whom accounted for hard parts years a large part of sown to grain.

HELP PALESTINE Will Reclaim Mediterranean's Drifting Sands With American Trees An agricultural colony in Palestine has just applied to the United States forest service for help in planting trees to bind the drifting sands of the Mediterranean. The colony is near Jaffa, or Yafa, the ancient Joppa of the Bible, and there is being developed in connection with it a seaside resort, with hotel, villas, bath houses, and gardens. The experts of the service point out that the reclamation of sand dunes is not a serious problem in the eastern United States because the prevailing winds are from the land and the sand is blown into the sea. On the west coast the situation is more serious. The most notable example of reclaimed sand areas there is furnished by Golden Gate Park, San Francisco, where grasses acacias, and, later, trees and shrubs have converted sand wastes into pleasure grounds of great beauty. The attention of the Palestine colony is called to the wonderful reclamation of the Landes, France, where a wealth-producing forest of maritime pine, the source of the French turpentine, has been grown to take the place of shifting dunes. The American foresters also give the address of the French seedsman who furnished this government with the maritime pine seed which has been used in planting experiments on the Florida national forest, near the Gulf coast.

Ten years were but 672 acres, which was valued at that of 1909, or $580,000 of flowers, however, industry of the entire and during the ten year 1909 showed an increase country of 85.9 per ANAHEIM GAZETTE OIL NOTES FROM NEIGHBORING FIELDS STANDARD WELL ON EMORY RANCH PROVES TO BE ONE OF BEST IN WESTERN FIELD LAND VALUES IN NEIGHBORHOOD JUMP FROM $300 TO $5,000 PER ACRE No. 3 well on the Emory ranch proves to be one of the best wells developed in the western section of the oil field. For a week it has been flowing over 3,000 barrels a day. Striking oil by the Standard on this lease is estimated to increase the value of the Emory ranch to over $1,000,000. There are more than 1,500 acres in the tract which Emory purchased about 15 years ago for $30,000. Several hundred acres were set out to fruit trees but they did not do well on account of hard pan and for several years a large part of the tract has been sown to grain. The Standard is drilling five wells on this lease and has three producers. Land near the Emory property which could have been purchased for $300 an acre before the oil strike, can now be sold at $5,000 an acre. The North American Oil Company, which drilled to a depth of over 2,000 feet with a rotary outfit, has changed to standard tools. This company had bad luck several weeks ago, because acreage was 18,248, the product of which in that year was valued at $34,872,329. While the industry contributed only a little more than one-half of 1 per cent of the total value of crops in 1909, it seems almost incredible that the value of one year's crop of flowers could amount to such a sum. And, of course, it only embraces the product of growers who make it a source of revenue, and in no way considers the millions of individuals who each raise a few flowers for their own use. The value of the crop, however, includes the sales of seeds and bulbs, as well as of blossoms. And it may be added that the sale of seeds and bulbs is a large part of the industry. California invariably does things on a large scale; and, although the state does not surpass all others in the acreage and value of flowers, probably the largest single field of but one kind of flowers ever grown anywhere in the world was the one of sweet peas, planted near Redondo a few years ago. It had an area of 350 acres, and contained nearly all kinds and colors of the sweet pea family. Another field comprising about twenty acres of carnations was also raised at Redondo. A visit to some such field at blooming time is like a visit to fairyland, and gives to the visitor some conception of what the world's demand for flowers really amounts to. Tons of flowers are annually used in California for decorating "floats" and for other carnival purposes, and our flower seeds go to all parts of the United States and to many places in Europe. The varieties grown in these fields embrace nearly all those that are found for sale at the flower stores at the different seasons. There are sweet peas, carnations, chrysanthemums, violets, daisies, asters, dahlias, all kinds.

WORK BEGINS ON THE COUNTY HIGHWAY Actual construction of the Orange county $1,270,000 highway system began Thursday when men working for C. E. Chamberlain began building the approaches to the West Fifth street bridge at Santa Ana. About 20 teams are at work. Chamberlain has the contract for building 5¼ miles of paved road on the Santa Ana-Huntington Beach road. D. A. Dontanville of Los Angeles will assemble his men and outfits near the Orangethorpe road, and began work last week. He will build three and a quarter miles on the Orangethorpe road running west from the main traveled road between Fullerton and Anaheim. Rock and gravel for these two jobs will be shipped in from the Pacific Rock & Gravel Company plant near Azusa. The county's rock crusher will not be in operation probably for a month. It is located in the Santiago creek bed near McPherson. W. S. Decker of Santa Ana is the county highway commission's inspector on the Santa Ana-Huntington Beach job, and Edwin Hedstrom of Anaheim is inspector on the Orangethorpe job.

The North American Oil Company, which drilled to a depth of over 2,000 feet with a rotary outfit, has changed to standard tools. This company had bad luck several weeks ago, because of losing tools in the well. At one time there was talk of abandoning the hole, but later it was decided not to, as it is hoped to have the casing to a depth of 2,000 feet. Below this an attempt will be made to sidetrack the junk. The Standard well on the Chapman ranch east of town is down 2,600 feet, with no indications of oil at present. The drillers do not expect to reach the sand at less than 3,500 or 4,000 feet. The Petroleum Company has erected two rigs on the Gilman ranch and will start drilling operations soon. The Amalgamated has started a "wildcat" well on the Hualde ranch, three miles north of Fullerton. If a strike is made it will open up a new territory. The company has a fishing job on one of its new wells. Rig No. 3 has been completed on the Walker-Brand lease. The Murphy Oil Company, operating northwest of Fullerton, is getting ready to bring in a well which has been drilling for nearly two years. The St. Helens Petroleum Company has just completed a second rig. The Dorsby Company will probably bring in well No. 2 soon and has completed rig No. 3. The Monte Cristo has erected a derrick at the Robertson place. No. 6 on the Birch Oil Company lease is on the pump and will be given a try-out this week. The Columbia is erecting another new rig. On the Brand-Stevens lease the rotary pipe twisted off at a depth of about 3,400 feet, which may mean several weeks' fishing.

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA FIELD OF FLOWERS A Notable Industry That Is Yielding Large Profits PLACENTIA YOUNG MEN IN BUGGY SMASH-UP Three Arrests Made at the County Seat Town on Sunday Afternoon Theo. Lacy's buggy was smashed and his driving mare bowled over on her back by one of a trio of speeding rigs that were racing on the South Main street pavement at Santa Ana on Sunday afternoon. Robert Poor, who was in one of the rigs, was arrested for disturbing the peace, and Louis Nalley and Samuel Waters, who were in the other rigs, was charged with reckless driving. They were in the Santa Ana justice court on Monday. Poor pleaded not guilty to peace disturbance, and his trial was set for August 4. City Recorder Willson postponed hearing of the charges against Nalley and Waters fo rten days, that the young men may adjust damage done Lacy's buggy. The three men live at Placentia. Lacy had driven to the nome of his sister-in-law, Mrs. Fred Parsons, at 411 South Main street, where he left his mother-in-law, Mrs. Young of West Orange. Lacy was going to get into his buggy when he saw three rigs coming north on Main street, all abreast and driving rapidly. He saw that a collision was inevitable. He jumped to the sidewalk to be clear of it. In each of the speeding rigs was a young man and a girl. The buggy in which Nalley was riding was being driven by the girl who was with him. This buggy crashed into Lacy's buggy. Lacy's mare was thrown on her back, but she scrambled up and except for loss of some hide gives to the visitor some conception of what the world's demand for flowers really amounts to. Tons of flowers are annually used in California for decorating "floats" and for other carnival purposes, and our flower seeds go to all parts of the United States and to many places in Europe. The varieties grown in these fields embrace nearly all those that are found for sale at the flower stores at the different seasons. There are sweet peas, carnations, chrysanthemums, violets, daisies, asters, dahlias, all kinds of lilies, roses, and so forth. They are cultivated in very much the same way as vegetables, requiring on an average about the same care. In California the Japanese engage in the industry quite extensively, and are principally used on the farms, even where they are not the owners or operators, for picking especially. It seems strange that a man should suffer with a tape worm for a number of years and not realize what is the exact cause of his trouble. Such was the case with Mr. B. F. Leighton of Chicago, Ill., who was positive that tuberculosis had him in its grasp because he was growing weaker day by day and he got so thin that his clothes needed constant altering. "But I had a hearty appetite and couldn't understand why I got no benefit from the food that ate," said Mr. Leighton. "Some doctors told me that I had stomach trouble; others that I was a victim of tuberculosis—so I came to California for my health. I was doing poorly—getting weaker every day.Had been a sufferer for seven years and so was becoming very discouraged until I met Dr. Raymond—the German specialist. I consulted with him and he told me right off the reel just exactly what ailed me. I could hardly believe that his diagnosis of my case was correct until I was relieved of that mon- After a long delay the postoffice has been opened at Brea, with Mr. Sweet as postmaster. SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA FIELD OF FLOWERS A Notable Industry That Is Yielding Large Profits Southern California's immense fields of flowers constitute an interesting sight, especially to tourists. One is ordinarily inclined to look upon the raising of flowers as being merely a pleasant pastime occupation; as a sort of individual gratification of an almost universal aesthetic taste. Even when he is compelled, because of his metropolitan environment, to purchase his flowers from the street-corner vender or flower store, one rarely, if ever—unless he has chanced upon one of these huge beauty spots—stops to realize that with somebody somewhere the raising of flowers must be a really business proposition. Nevertheless, such it is, as these large fields convincingly attest to; and really a far more important one than at first consideration of the subject is apt to lead even the experienced grower to imagine. According to the last census, California, in 1909, had over 1,000 acres planted to flowers, the product of which was given a value of $1,388,513. The number of such farms reported was 442. Ten years previous there were but 672 acres, the crop from which was valued at less than half of that of 1909, or $580,646. The raising of flowers, however, is an important industry of the entire United States, and during the ten years ending with 1909 showed an increase for the whole country of 85.9 per cent. The totalange. Lacy was going to get into his buggy when he saw three rigs coming north on Main street, all abreast and driving rapidly. He saw that a collision was inevitable. He jumped to the sidewalk to be clear of it. In each of the speeding rigs was a young man and a girl. The buggy in which Nalley was riding was being driven by the girl who was with him. This buggy crashed into Lacy's buggy. Lacy's mare was thrown on her back, but she scrambled up and except for loss of some hide and hair seems to be none the worse for the collision. The girl was bruised slightly by being thrown against the dash-board. Poor became abusive, and it was on account of his remarks that Lacy brought a charge of disturbing the peace against him. He was as independent as they make 'em, and in his talk he declared he had more money than all of Santa Ana put together. When he was searched he was found to have but fifty cents in his pockets. The other young men had $2.30 between them. Nalley and Waters seemed to look at the affair in quite a different light from that which shaded Poor's views, and offered to make good the damage done Lacy's rig. PLACENTIA NOTES Mr. H. W. Braden, who has been demonstrating for P. J. Weisel & Company, has taken charge of the mechanical department at the Placentia garage. There is no better automobile repair man in the state. Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Porter returned Friday from a short stay at Idlewild, but the family expects to return there the first to spend the month of August at this delightful outing place. We regret to announce the death of Mrs. Fred Johnson at 1 o'clock Wednesday morning from tuberculosis. Many testimonials like this can be cited as evidence that Dr. Edwin Raymond,—the Televida man—knows how to cure stubborn, chronic cases that have long resisted ordinary medication. In Redlands is a man who would not take thousands of dollars for the good he has already received from Televida treatment. That man is Mr. A. C. McShane of 127 Fifth avenue. His ailment had been diagnosed by various doctors as "Gallstones." They told him that he would have to submit to an operation if he expected to be cured. Like any ordinary person—he dreaded the surgeon's ghastly knife and decided he would rather take chances with his ailment until he heard about the Televida treatment and called to consult Dr. Raymond. He received immediate benefit and now feels strong, well and happy and is interesting himself in seeing that numerous friends of his who have been alling for years have an opportunity to consult with Dr. Raymond and be cured of their troubles. Dr. Edwin Raymond will make a personal visit to Anaheim, Friday, August 1st. He can be seen at any hour between 10 A.M. and 4 P.M. at the Iowa House. No sick person can afford to miss the opportunity to consult with this noted German doctor. Call as early as possible for it is estimated that a great number of people will want to consult with him for requests have come pouring into the Los Angeles office for a personal visit. He makes no charge for a thorough consultation and will advise anyone free of charge as to what he must do to be restored to health.

If it were practicable for a housewife to come to our gas manufacturing works and buy a pail of gas, we would need no city franchise to deliver our product. We would not have to make a large investment in street mains, service pipes and meters, franchises and state taxes, nor would we have to employ a force to inspect and read the meters. Under these conditions we could sell GAS at a much lower price than we now sell GAS SERVICE. Were it possible to handle gas in the way that groceries and coal are handled, we could install several automobile expresses larger than the largest trucks in your city for a ridiculous fraction of the cost of our distrubting system.
