HOSPITAL BIDS SUBMITTED TO BOARD NINE BUILDERS SEEK CONTRACT FOR CONSTRUCTION OF NEW COUNTY STRUCTURE MUCH IMPORTANT BUSINESS WAS TRANSACTED BY SUPERVISORS AT LAST TWO SESSIONS Bids were received by the supervisors Tuesday last week for construction of a county hospital as follows: C. Leonardt bid $42,700; the Kling Company, $44,674; C. McNeill, $42,000; J. S. Hilend, $47,499; Long Beach Brick Co., $45,877; F. V. Pruitt and A. E. Bird, $37,718; Long Beach Construction Co., $46,594; California Real Estate & Building Co., $49,999; C. M. Jordan, $43,763. All bids were taken under advisement until August 6, 1913, at 3 P. M. Bids were received for heating and ventilating the county hospital and all bids were taken under advisement until August 6, 1913, at 3 P. M. Bids were received for printing school manual, and the contract was awarded the Worden Printing Co. The board adjourned to August 6, 1913, at 10 A. M. The board met pursuant to adjournment on August 6. All members and the clerk present. Credits for good behavior were allowed prisoners as recommended by the jailor. The County Park custodian was granted a vacation for two weeks in GOOD SEASON AT CHINO Over 800,000 Tons of Beets Sliced by Plant This Season With over 800,000 tons of sugar beets representing the product of approximately 25,000 acres, contracted for, the factory of the American Beet Sugar Company at Chino has opened what is predicted will be the record breaking run of its history. Nearly 650 men are employed at the big plant. The season this year is about two weeks earlier than usual, the beets having ripened quickly under favorable weather conditions. For weeks men were employed enlarging the facilities of the big plant and during the week just previous to the opening, 125 men were busy getting everything in readiness for the opening of the big factory. The beets in this district are reported to be running extra large and the crop is said to be one of the best harvested in some time. According to tests made during the past two weeks, the beets have shown to contain an unusually large percentage of sugar. Manager John T. Schroeder states that the crop this year is at least ten per cent larger than in 1912, and last year was considered an exceptionally good one. The run of the factory will probably continue full force for over a hundred days. Of the 25,000 acres under contract, about 8,000 acres lie on the Chino ranch. The factory has approximately 3,000 acres under its own cultivation. The remainder of the beets will come from the El Monte district, Orange county, the Coachella Valley and points in San Bernardino county. Growers have been assured that as a result of the big yield and the heavy percentage of sugar they will receive good returns for their crops. AMERICA LEADS IN AMERICA LEADS IN MEAT CONSUMPTION Even Goes Ahead of John Bull in His Much Boasted Roast Beef Americans are the biggest meat eaters in the world. They beat Johnny Bull, with all his legends about the beef of old England. Moreover, they eat more beef per capita than the British do. Figures for meat-eating in 1909, just made public by the Bureau of Animal Industry of the Department of Agriculture, show that the per capita consumption of meat for that year in the United States, was 162.20 pounds, divided as follows (fractions omitted): Beef, 80 pounds; veal, 7; pork, 67; mutton and lamb, 6; goat meat, .13. Over in England, where they boast about Good Old Roast Beef, the per capita for that product is only 56 pounds. Moreover the proportion of beef in the total eaten by the American is exactly the same as for the Britisher—47 per cent. Inhabitants of the "tight little isle" make up their total by eating 26 pounds of mutton a year, as against the Americans' six pounds. The Spanish are the smallest meat eaters, their per capita consumption being only 49 pounds. Germany's is 113 pounds. In both Germany and France pork is the favorite meat. "In view of the growing scarcity and high prices of cattle and swine and their products in our markets in recent times, it is well to call attention to the comparatively insignificant part played by the bovine species in our meat dietary," the bureau declares. "It may be seen that we consume only 6 pounds of mutton and lamb per head a year, which is barely 4 per cent of the total meat supply. When we compare this small consumption of mutton with that of England, a very striking contrast is presented. Our small consumption no doubt is mainly attributable to the exceedingly cheap and abundant supplies of beef and pork which have prevailed in for- ranch. The factory has approximately 3,000 acres under its own cultivation. The remainder of the beets will come from the El Monte district, Orange county, the Coachella Valley and points in San Bernardino county.

UNCLE SAM'S BIGGEST GUN Imagine, if you can, a gun 49 feet long, capable of throwing a projectile weighing 2,370 pounds a distance of 21 miles at a speed of 2,900 feet a second; a gun weighing 130 tons and using 1,176 pounds of powder for each discharge. There is such a gun, and it belongs to the United States. It is the only 16-inch cannon in the world. It will soon be shipped to Panama to be used in the defense of the canal. At present it is at Cape Henry, Virginia, guarding the entrance to Chesapeake Bay and the approaches to Washington and Baltimore. It was first installed at Sandy Hook and had its successful firing tests there. Now it is to be sent where it is needed even more and if it proves satisfactory and not too expensive in its new location others of its size may be constructed. Our small consumption no doubt is mainly attributable to the exceedingly cheap and abundant supplies of beef and pork which have prevailed in former years, thus rendering it unnecessary to look elsewhere for meat. But the day of cheap meat is past and the present market prices of food animals point to the fact that it is becoming more and more imperative that every available source of our meat supply should be carefully developed. Hence the necessity for more sheep farming. "It is undeniable that the sheep species, both in the lamb stage and when older furnishes meat of most excellent quality when the animals are suited for this purpose. Therefore the present seems to be an opportune time for stockmen to pay more attention to the raising of sheep for meat production." "Finally, it would be in the interest of ennomy for the people generally to cultivate a greater taste for mutton and lamb, especially the smaller families who require joints of a size that cannot usually be supplied from the larger animals. A more insistent demand on the part of the public for mutton and lamb of good quality would no doubt soon lead to an increase of breeding and feeding operations, besides relieving somewhat the present heavy demand for beef and pork in the face of a short supply." FOREST INSECT RAVAGES ARE STOPPED GOVERNMENT ELIMINATING DANGER WHICH THREATENED MILLIONS OF FEET OF TIMBER ITEMS OF INTEREST RELATIVE TO THE FOREST SERVICE IN VARIOUS SECTIONS OF COUNTRY By a prompt campaign against a flourishing colony of bark beetles on the Ochoco national forest in Central Oregon, the government is eliminating a danger which threatened to destroy millions of feet of timber. Some authorities claim that the amount of timber killed each year by insects is equalled only by the annual loss from forest fires. Among the most destructive of these insect enemies are the bark beetles, one of which, the mountain pine beetle, is responsible for most of the damage on the Ochoco forest. This deadly little beetle is less than a quarter of an inch in length, but bears the ponderous scientific name of dendroctonus monticolae hopk. which, being interpreted, signifies killer of the mountain pine tree, discovered by Hopkins. Its methods of operation are interesting. The mature beetle bores through the bark of the tree and excavates a gallery in the inner living bark and in the outer surface of the wood in which it lays its eggs. When hatched each young larva, or bettlergrub, channels into this growing portion of the trunk, feeding upon the inner bark. When full grown the EASILY DEFENDED Reasonable Proof That O. M. Robbins Did Not Steal Jackman's Auto The report that O. M. Robbins, once President of the Taft Republican Club, is the person who stole the automobile belonging to S. J. Jackman of Santa Ana, receives very little credence, as Mr. Robbins is not that kind of a person, says the Blade. And, anyway, should Robbins have taken the automobile he could put up a good defense. He could have shown that Mr. Jackman had two autos, one for his use as chairman of the Republican County Central Committee and one as chairman of the Progressive Committee. And one auto and one brand of politics at a time ought to be enough for any man; so if Robbins had taken the machine (which he didn't) he could have pleaded extenuating circumstances. Besides this, there are lots of things and matters, technical to be sure, which could have been used in a successful defense. Jackman, could hardly have shown, for instance, whether he was a Republican or a Progressive chairman when he lost the auto, or whether it was a Republican or a Progressive auto. And, it goes without saying, that if he could not say positively whether he lost a Progressive or a Republican auto, he couldn't be sure that he lost any auto. ARMY AND NAVY BEING STRENGTHENED Uncle Sam Is Calling For Recruits—Active Service May Be Ahead in the Future Urgent appeals to recruiting officers to bend every effort toward increasing the number of enlistments for service in the United States army and navy have been issued from Washington. THE AUTOMOBILE IN FOREST WORK Becoming Important Agent in Fire Fighting in California The automobile has come into service as an important against in fire protective work in California. The United States Forest Service has recently purchased a Ford roadster to be used in patrolling the line of the San Joaquin & Eastern railroad which traverses a large portion of the fire danger zone within the Sierra National Forest south of the San Joaquin river. On this car the ordinary rubber-tired wheels were removed and have been replaced by flanged iron wheels so that the car is used exclusively on the railroad. The main idea is to follow up passenger trains from which cigars or cigarettes may have been thrown by careless tourists. The car is also used to transport fire fighters and supplies to points within a reasonable distance from the right of way of the railroad, easily negotiating the 5 per cent grades of this road. The car will carry from 5 to 10 men. One man is custodian and driver of the car, and no one else is allowed to operate it. The car is operated with the permission of the railroad company and runs on orders of the train dispatchers. The service reports another careless camper on the Angeles National Forest who went off and left his campfire burning. On August 3 E. C. McClarie left an unextinguished campfire in section 20, T 2 N., R. 7 W., within the Angeles Forest. He was rounded up and brought before the justice of the peace in Upland, where he plead guilty and was fined $50, of which $25 was suspended. This state law against leaving fires burning is being vigorously enforced throughout the National forests. ITS METHODS OF OPERATION ARE INTERESTING. THE MATURE BEETLE BORES THROUGH THE BARK OF THE TREE AND EXCAVATES A GALLERY IN THE INNER LIVING BARK AND IN THE OUTER SURFACE OF THE WOOD IN WHICH IT LAYS ITS EGGS. WHEN HATCHED EACH YOUNG LARVA, OR BETTLER GRUB, CHANNELS INTO THIS GROWING PORTION OF THE TRunk, FEeding UPON THE INNER BARK. WHEN FULL GROWN THE LARVA, AFTER PASSING THrough A DORMANT, OR PUPAL STAGE, BEcomes A BEETLE. THIS BEETLE THEN DRILLS OUT THROUGH THE BARK IN JULY, AND, EMERGING INTO THE WORLD SEeks A Fresh Tree And Starts A NEW GENERATION. WITH THIS "CHAIN-LETTER" METHOD, IT SOON Infests A LARGE AREA. THE GALLERIES OR CHANNELS OF THE LARVAE GIRLD THE TREE AND KILL IT, AND THE BEETLE'S PRESENCE IS USUALLY DISCOVERED, AS IT WAS IN THE OCHOCO Forest, BY A PATCH OF RED-BROWN DEAD PINE TREES IN THE MIDST OF A MOUNTAIN-SIDE OF GREEN. IN FIGHTING THIS FOREST SCourge, THE METHOD REcommended By the Bureau Of Entomology Is Followed. THE SIMPLE REMOVAL OF THE BARK OF INFESTED Trees Between October and July, WHILE THE LARVAE ARE STILL IN THE TREE, IS SUFFICIENT TO KILL THEM. THE LUMBER MAY THEN BE SOLD WHILE IT IS YET SOUND. ON THE OCHOCO Forest, HOWEVER, THERE WAS NO MARKET, AND THE FOREST OFFICERS FOUND THAT THE CHEAPER AND MORE EFFECTIVE METHOD OF CONTROL WAS TO CUT THE Trees AND BURN THEM BEFORE THE NEW broods OF BETTLES could emerge. IN 1912 THE INFESTATION WAS GIVEN A DECIDED CHECK BY THE CUTTING OF 3,500 Trees. THIS SUMMER THE ATTACK ON THE INSECTS WAS RESUMED WITH renewed vigor, AND 42 LABORS, IN CHarge of A FOREST OFFICER, CUT MORE than 40,000 Trees. AS A RESULT OF THIS VIGOROUS MEasures, THE GOvernment Apparently Has The Beetles Under Control. Forest Notes An organization of scientists who are engaged in the study of forest insects has recently been formed in Washington. Pencil manufacturers are buying up old red cedar fence rails, in Tennessee and southward, to be made into lead pencils.

The official order is regarded as a significant indication of the view taken by the Washington authorities over the Mexican crisis. The weekly average number of enlistments from Chicago of 100 a week, or 5,000 a year, is regarded as far below the required number. Officials at local recruiting offices were unwilling to discuss the Washington order. Verification of its existence was obtained from a high army official, who declined to permit the use of his name. At the same time official information concerning the present number of men in the United States army and their disposition was made public. It is as follows: In the United States, 64,087; in Alaska, 1,281; in the Philippines, 11,715; in China, 1,292; in Porto Rico, 634; in Hawaiian Islands, 8,000; in isthmian canal zone, 841; Philippine scouts, 5,660. Total, including non-combatants and Coast Artillery, Philippine scouts, 93,510. Approximate total scattered about United States, 50,000. The reason for the presence of 8,000 men in the Hawaiian Islands is well known to army men. They know that the powers in Washington finally have realized the danger of leaving it without adequate protection and for the past few months have been rushing all available troops to it. "The urgent demands from Washington to officials of recruiting stations," said the army official, "means that we are going over into Mexico and that preparations for that step are being hurried." "It means, too, the war department realizes that Huerta and the present Mexican regime are not the real factors in the impending trouble."

GINSENG MARKET Ginseng, for which practically the only market is China, valued as a medical drug, has been shipped from the United States to the Orient at the rate of about 150,000 pounds, valued at more than $1,000,000 a year during the last 10 years, according to a report just issued by the department of agriculture. On account of the limited market and the fact that seven years are required for maturity of the root, Doctor Walter Van Fleet of the department's drug plant investigating division advises against "plunging in ginseng." The amount exported last year was 155,000 pounds, valued at $7.20a pound. Before the wild forest supply of the plant diminished so largely, it brought only 40 cents a pound. Notice of Assessment No. 3. American Orr Concrete Pole Company, a corporation, with its principal place of business located in the City of Anaheim, County of Orange, State of California. Notice is hereby given that at a meeting of the directors, held on the 9th day of August, 1913, an assessment of twenty-five cents (25c) per share was levied upon the capital stock of the corporation, payable immediately, in gold coin of the United States, to the secretary, at the office of the company, No. 229 North Lemon street, City of Anaheim, California. Any stock upon which this assessment shall remain unpaid on the 11th day of September, 1913 will be delinquent, and advertised for sale at public auction, and, unless payment is made before, will be sold on the 4th day of October, 1913, to pay the delinquent assessment, together with costs of advertising and expenses of sale.

One of their plans for the Hwai River contemplates dredging and tillage together to control floods. The steel towers that support electric power transmission lines are being increasingly used by forest rangers as fire lookout stations on national forests. With the harnessing of the mountain streams a network of these lines is gradually being woven over the forests and in the absence of other convenient lookouts, the rangers find the steel towers helpful in their fire patrol work. MEXICAN LEPER The county of San Bernardino has a leper on its hands. The Mexican captured a few days ago at Cucamonga is in charge of the county officials and they have thus far been unable to unload him onto the care of the State, or anyone else. If the county is required to keep him a separate building will have to be constructed. An attempt will be made to have him placed in the San Francisco leper colony, the cost to be borne by San Bernardino county. The problem is a perplexing one for the local officials. TIPPING IN THE DARK He had quite lost his English accent, his English manner, and his English appearance—that waiter I met the other day, but one little trick that he retained betrayed him for a countryman of mine," said the Englishman. "When I offered him a tip he turned his back upon me and stretched his hand out behind him to receive it. "Nobody but an English waiter of the old school would have received a tip with so much humility. It was never the custom to cultivate that modest demeanor anywhere except in the tight little island. The old servitors there thought it a sign of dishonor to glue the eye on a fee before it had left the customer's hand, but the new generation of English waiters is as greedy as their brethren in other lands and makes a forward thrust for whatever is offered." MEASUREMENTS IN HAWAII In the Territory of Hawaii a unit commonly used in connection with the measurement of water is the "million gallons." This is used with two meanings—(1) to indicate a rate of flow and (2) to express an actual quantity of water. In the former sense "million gallons per 24 hours" is inferred, 1,000,-000 gallons being taken as the unit of quantity, and 24 hours as the unit of time. With this meaning the term is generally used in connection with pumping and irrigation. In the latter sense "million gallons" as an absolute quantity is used in the measurement of storage capacities of reservoirs. Announcement To Our Friends and Patrons. We wish to announce that we have taken possession of the garage building at 134 S. Los Angeles St., Anaheim, formerly occupied by the Anaheim Motor Co.

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 distributing system. But forced to accept certain "things as they are," we have to invest more money in our gas DISTRIBUTING equipment than for our MANUFACTURING apparatus.
