WERDIN TREATS HIS FRIENDS ROYALLY SUPERINTENDENT OF L. A. PAVING CO. IS HOST AT AN ENJOYABLE BARBECUE ANAHEIM TRUSTEES AND THEIR FAMILIES AND OTHER PROMINENT CITIZENS ARE GUESTS E. R. Werdin, superintendent of the L. A. Paving Company, entertained 250 guests at a barbecue at the home of Thomas Doyle in Laguna Canyon Sunday. Mr. Werdin was formerly street superintendent of Los Angeles, and those from that city who partook of the barebcued meats included P. Wilkins of the board of supervisors, Ex-sheriff William White, Constable G. W. Lyons and Claire Snively, secretary to Mayor Rose. The members of the board of trustees of Anaheim and other Orange county cities were also among the guests. Most of them were accompanied by their wives. The experienced Spanish chefs served a typical feast. Late in the afternoon, the entire party went in automobiles to Laguna Beach and enjoyed a dip in the surf. The ladies entered into the spirit of the occasion with the same zest displayed by the sterner sex and all enjoyed themselves to the full. The Doyle ranch is an ideal place for such an affair and Mr. Doyle is "some class" ALL BUT ONE Los Alamitos Cases About Disposed of by Justice All but one of the cases resulting from the raid of blind pigs at Los Alamitos three weeks ago have been disposed of. Raymond Reyes was before Justice of the Peace Cox at Santa Ana Monday and pleaded guilty to a charge of maintaining a place where liquor was sold. Sentence was withheld for six months for certain reasons and Reyes was given his liberty, with the understanding that he might be summoned before the court at any time for sentence. Jesus Sabala, whose true name is Jesus Verdugo, will come before the court later, and with the disposition of his case all the men arrested will have been fined, sentenced to jail or given suspended sentences. BRITISH SCIENTISTS STUDYING BIOLOGY Two Noted Experts Learning Fumigation at Whittier That the splendid work of R. S. Woglum, government expert in cyanide fumigation has attracted worldwide attention from scientists in entomology, has received new evidence during the past ten days. During that time Prof. Woglum has entertained two noted British experts, E. MacGregor, graduate of Trinity College, Cambridge, and C. Mason, graduate of Wye Agricultural College. These men make the bug world their field and are spending the entire year in America on Carnegie scholarships awarded for scientific research. MacGregor has spent two years in Central Africa investigating the sleeping sickness and DEVELOPMENT IRRIGATION CALFIX GOVERNMENT DAS NOT KEPT ER SECTIONS SOUTHERN HALL THER ADVANT NORTH IN To assist in bringing utilization of the California department of Agriculture issued a bulletin sources of California erosion," by Frank Adger in charge of this bulletin but that, despite theance of its irrigation formia has not kept administrative staff western states. While it has lost California contain of agricultural land in order to develop productive capacity, known that the less attention toigation laws than other western stateure on the part o such laws has been to lack of appreci such legislative mof bringing about development. The experienced Spanish chefs served a typical feast. Late in the afternoon, the entire party went in automobiles to Laguna Beach and enjoyed a dip in the surf. The ladies entered into the spirit of the occasion with the same zest displayed by the sterner sex and all enjoyed themselves to the full. The Doyle ranch is an ideal place for such an affair and Mr. Doyle is "some class" as a manager. Three Spaniards, who have had experience in old-time barbecues had charge of the barbecueing of the meat and they did the trick to a turn. Tables were spread under the trees in the back yard of the Doyle home and here the delicious meat, with proper trimmings, was enjoyed and relished. While the crowd was larger than was expected Mr. Doyle and his assistants saw that everyone had something to eat. Meat was plentiful and the cooks were kept busy all the afternoon in preparing and passing ft to the throng, many of whom demonstrated that they could "come back" more than once. It was a real treat to them and the meat being tender and well cooked "tasted like more." Coffee, lemonade and soda pop was there in abundance. Mr. Werdin has for many years treated his Los Angeles friends to a barbecue each year, and this year he thought it proper to hold the event in Orange county and to invite some of his friends of the county. He has been engaged in paving work at Orange and Anaheim for the past 18 months and he has come to feel that he is almost an Orange county man. At 3 o'clock the merry-makers went down to Laguna Beach and indulged in a plunge in the ocean. Anaheim was represented by Trustees Wm. Starke, G. W. Hamler, Max Nebelung, J. H. Cook, Frank Gates, City Clerk E. B. Merritt, City Marshal Kellenberger, City Attorney Homer G. Ames, H. M. Adams, J. W. Duckworth and others. Orange sent a good delegation, among whom were Mayor Dittmar, Trustees Guy Richards and Wm. G. Hagen, City Attorney Brown, Constable Jackson, City Health Officer Dr. Doman, Postmaster Nels Edwards, J. W. Morrison, Dr. Rossiter and Dr. Blank. Orange county officials present were Supervisor Jasper Leck, County Auditor Cal D. Lester and Deputy County Clerk Joe Backs. The barbecue is the carrying out of a plan of Mr. Werdin to entertain his wide attention from scientists in entomology, has received new evidence during the past ten days. During that time Prof. Woglum has entertained two noted British experts, E. MacGregor, graduate of Trinity College, Cambridge, and C. Mason, graduate of Wye Agricultural College. These men make the bug world their field and are spending the entire year in America on Carnegie scholarships awarded for scientific research. MacGregor has spent two years in Central Africa investigating the sleeping sickness and Mason was for two years assistant entomologist for the government in India. Coming to the United States, a suggested l'enerary was made for these gentlemen by L. O. Howard, head of the entomological department of the Bureau of Agriculture at Washington. This itinerary includes most of the stations throughout the entire country where Federal experts are doing original research work. In Southern California they have been especially interested from the practical standpoint in the cyanide fumigation work as a control for insect pests. The work of Prof. Woglum interested them intensely and Mason believes that fumigation will control the tea and coffee tree pests of India, which do a vast amount of damage. Should he be assigned to India work on his return to England he will undoubtedly give cyanide control a test on these trees and may add millions to the tea and coffee industries of that country. It may not be generally known that the United States is a pioneer in the work of cyanide fumigation, as now practiced in Southern California. Where it is now used elsewhere in the world, in Australia, in Spain, and in other lands, it is only an importation there of the Southern California methods as introduced by Prof. Woglum. Indeed, Prof. Woglum himself, introduced the work in Valencia, Spain, on his 50,000-mile trip around the world two years ago. There, he started the fumigation work on a grove of 500 acres of oranges near Valencia, owned by Don Ferdinand de Soto, lineal descendant of the discoverer of the Mississippi. Messrs. Mason and MacGregor will terminate their visit here tomorrow and will go north for investigations along other lines. PULLMAN COMPANY REDUCES ITS RATES Orange sent a good delegation among whom were Mayor Dittmar, Trustees Guy Richards and Wm. G. Hagen, City Attorney Brown, Constable Jackson, City Health Officer Dr. Doman, Postmaster Nels Edwards, J. W. Morrison, Dr. Rossiter and Dr. Blank. Orange county officials present were Supervisor Jasper Leck, County Auditor Cal D. Lester and Deputy County Clerk Joe Backs. The barbecue is the carrying out of a plan of Mr. Werdin to entertain his old Los Angeles friends once every year. ADVERTISED LETTERS Mrs. Wm. Schmidt, Mrs. F. Trapp, Mrs. Theo. H. Neitz, Mrs. R. M.

PULLMAN COMPANY REDUCES ITS RATES Berth From Los Angeles to San Diego Now 50 Cents Less The railroad commission has directed the Pullman company to reduce the lower berth rate between Los Angeles and San Diego from $2 to $1.50. The matter was taken up informally by the commission with the company and the lower rate was fixed without contest. The Pullman company has stated its willingness to put in the new rate effective November 1, 1913. The present rate is $2 for a lower berth and $1.60 for an upper berth. Under the commission's ruling the lower berth is reduced to $1.50 and the upper berth to $1.20. The commission regarded the rates as discriminatory against the cities of Los Angeles and San Diego and all points between the two, and therefore ordered the reduction. Serra Day, the 27th, at the San Diego fair, the greatest spectacle ever staged in California, will be at the site of the first white man's habitation on the Pacific Coast, where Junipera Serra raised the cross and built his first mission. For this occasion the army and navy forces, Order of Panama, and secular bodies will take part in unveiling the cross, a gigantic affair built from the tiles dug from the ruins of the mission on Presidio Hill, San Diego. Massrs. Mason and MacGregor will terminate their visit here tomorrow and will go north for investigations along other lines. COUNTY CLERK PAPERS SHOWING DATION AS follows: Penter, born in 1870.

DEVELOPMENT OF IRRIGATION IN CALFIORNIA GOVERNMENT DECLARES STATE HAS NOT KEPT PACE WITH OTHER SECTIONS OF COUNTRY SOUTHERN HALF OF STATE FURTHER ADVANCED THAN THE NORTH IN THIS WORK To assist in bringing about the fullest utilization of the irrigation resources of California, the United States Department of Agriculture has recently issued a bulletin on "Irrigation Resources of California and Their Utilization," by Frank Adams, irrigation manager in charge of work in California. This bulletin brings out the fact that, despite the extent and importance of its irrigation interests, California has not kept pace, from an administrative standpoint, with other western states. While it has long been known that California contains a very large area of agricultural land needing irrigation in order to develop its highest productive capacity, it has also been known that the state has given much less attention to administrative irrigation laws than have most of the other western states. The long failure on the part of this state to enact such laws has been due very largely to lack of appreciation of the value of such legislative measures as a means of bringing about the most economical development. The apparent diversity RECORD BREAKER William Cheney, bean and grain grower of Tomato Springs, has set a new record for the Orange County Rod and Reel Club. With a 9-ounce rod and a 9-strand line he captured a tuna weighing 38½ pounds. It was a great day for tuna. Cheney and his foreman, Arthur Hill, of Tomato Springs, and Ed. Larter of Westminster, went out in the 9-9 launch from Newport Beach. They ran into a lot of tuna, and it was a busy day for the anglers with light tackle. The three men got six of the big fish, Larter getting three, Hill one and Cheney two. Cheney's second fish weighed 34½ pounds. He declares that one that got away was the biggest fish in that part of the ocean. Victor Walker, of Hill & Walker's sporting goods house, set the first tuna record. A week or two later Dr. Bert Patton raised the record to 32 pounds. For some reason the tuna has lavished affection on the Orange county coast this year. With such fishing as the anglers have had lately, Newport Beach has Avalon off the map for tuna fishing. WATER COMPANY HAS A MEETING Board of Directors Holds a Short Session Saturday Afternoon Anaheim, Sept. 27, 1913. A regular meeting of the board of directors was held on the above date with all members present except Director Dwyer. Zanjero Parrett informed the board that he had an offer to go on the desert at $175.00 per month and that he would leave the employ of the A. U. W. Co. if he did not receive an increase HIGH PRICES AND EXCELLENT GROPS State Horticultural Commissioner's Report a Favorable One Alfalfa, fig, olive and walnut crops were the only crops normal or above that point this year in California, according to figures announced Tuesday at the office of the State Horticultural Commission. The estimates were made from returns submitted to the commission by county horticulturists. The apricot crop in some sections was exceedingly poor, but in other counties it was above normal, so that the general average will make this year's crop about 80 per cent as large as last year. The grape output, including raisins, wine and table grapes, was approximately 80 per cent of normal, while the peach crop is within 10 per cent as large as that of 1912. Plums and cherries did not come up to last year by about 10 per cent, although in some sections a figure above normal is recorded. The prune product is 95 per cent of normal, while predictions for apples, the crop not yet having been harvested, are optimistic. From early estimates, the citrus fruit crops will range within 90 per cent of normal. Despite the shortage in practically all the deciduous fruit crops, the returns were equal to last year, growers reporting better prices for their products. The drought throughout the state interfered with hay and grain crops, cutting them down to 80 per cent of normal. Excessive heat in July and August, coupled with the scarcity of water, of agricultural land needing irrigation in order to develop its highest productive capacity, it has also been known that the state has given much less attention to administrative irrigation laws than have most of the other western states. The long failure on the part of this state to enact such laws has been due very largely to lack of appreciation of the value of such legislative measures as a means of bringing about the most economical development. The apparent diversity of interests between the northern and southern portions of California, due to the more rapid irrigation development in the latter, has led to differences of opinion on this important point. There are also those who are satisfied to let development in irrigation take its course without legislative guide or restriction. As regards the fundamental need of protecting public irrigation rights to the end that the irrigation waters shall not be wasted but shall bring prosperity to the largest number of farm homes, there is no north or south in California. Irrigators in southern California, however, are not generally willing to admit this fact because on the whole they use water very economically. Rights to water for irrigation have, however, been acquired by them, as by others in California, only in suits between individuals in which the state has not been represented, and it has never been appreciated generally that such procedure nearly always involves some public waste. Throughout the state education in better methods on the one hand and on the other the exercise of sufficient public control to keep use down to crop necessities are the only means that can insure the kind of irrigation progress that is truly economical. Realizing the need of a better understanding throughout the state regarding the extent of the irrigable lands and of the possible irrigation development with the available water supply, the State Conservation Commission, appointed in 1911 for the purpose of investigating the natural resources of the state and of recommending legislation for their better conservation and utilization, arranged for co-operation with the United States Department of Agriculture in a comprehensive study of the irrigation resources, conditions, and possibilities of the state. The results of this study are reported in the bulletin referred to and are made the basis of improved legislation relating to irrigation at the last session of the state legislature. The bulletin attempts to assemble and digest information relating to irri- Board of Directors Holds a Short Session Saturday Afternoon Anaheim, Sept. 27, 1913. A regular meeting of the board of directors was held on the above date with all members present except Director Dwyer. Zanjero Parrett informed the board that he had an offer to go on the desert at $175.00 per month and that he would leave the employ of the A. U. W. Co. if he did not receive an increase in salary. On motion of Holcomb, seconded by Beazley, Mr. Parrett was appointed assistant superintendent with full supervision of all zanjeros and ditches at a salary of $125.00 per month commencing October 1, 1913, and the secretary was instructed to notify all zanjeros that on and after October 1, 1913, they would be under the jurisdiction of Mr. Parrett. On motion of Hale, seconded by Beazley, the superintendent and engineer were instructed to lay off the seven acres at Richfield for the spreading of winter water. On motion of Dwyer, seconded by Sherwood, the superintendent was instructed to lower pit No. 1 at the Gomber tract and pit at pumping plant No. 2. On motion of Hale, seconded by Holcomb, the secretary was authorized to have the sewer connection made. On motion of Holcomb, seconded by Dwyer, the meeting adjourned until Monday, October 6, at 2 o'clock P.M. WM. T., WALLOP, Secretary. CITRUS MEN FIGHT AGAINST RAILROADS Matter of Rates Finally Gets into the Supreme Court The citrus fruit growers are being compelled by the railroads to fight to the last ditch for their rights, as set forth by the Interstate Commerce Commission and the about-to-be-headed Commerce Court. Those eminent tribunals found for the orange and lemon growers in their contention that the freight rates demanded by the roads were excessive. The case of the growers was handled in a masterly manner by the late A. F. Call, ably seconded in an advisory capacity by G. Harold Powell and by counsel. The contention was made by the roads that the rate that the tribunals would fix was not compensatory, but this plea was ridiculed by the able counsel of the growers, who showed by fruit crops will range within 90 per cent of normal. Despite the shortage in practically all the deciduous fruit crops, the returns were equal to last year, growers reporting better prices for their products. The drought throughout the state interfered with hay and grain crops, cutting them down to 80 per cent of normal. Excessive heat in July and August, coupled with the scarcity of water, brought about the damage to horticultural growth. "On the whole," a supplementary statement says, "the financial returns from deciduous horticultural crops this year will not be below last year, despite the unfavorable weather experienced." BUILDING MATERIALS Descriptions of granite deposits near Gunnison, Colo., which are being quarried for building stone, of deposits of ornamental marble near Barstow, Cal., and of clay deposits in northeastern Montana constitute advance chapter K of Bulletin 540 of the United States Geological Survey. These three brief reports are written by Geologists J. F. Hunter, R. W. Pack, and C. M. Bauer, respectively. The Colorado granite deposits are now being developed. The marble deposit in California is stated to be practically undeveloped, though the surface showings, in the opinion of Mr. Pack, are promising and are worthy of careful exploratory work. The Mantana clay deposits, examined by Mr. Bauer, are believed to be suitable for brickmaking, as well as for tile. The nearness of these deposits to beds of lignite will aid greatly in the exploitation of the deposits and the manufacture of clay bricks. REGISTRATION!!

The bulletin attempts to assemble and digest information relating to irrigation for the whole state rather than to give a more detailed account of a few selected localities. It contains three large colored maps showing the distribution of agricultural lands and the present state of irrigation development in northern, central and southern California, respectively. County Clerk Williams has issued papers showing declarations of intention as follows: To Carl Heinze, carpenter, born in 1871 and here since 1905. To Leopold Maahs, carpenter, born in 1877, and here since 1905. To Albert C. F. Gutzman, baker, born in 1885, here since 1906. To Carl G. O. Gutzman, baker, born 1890, here since 1911. To August F. Gutzman, carpenter, born 1881, here since 1905. All five applicants were born in Canada and live in Anaheim. The baseball season has opened again in Anaheim, the first game of the season being played on the high school grounds Sunday afternoon. The Placentia team was the first victim, the score being 11 to 4. The team recently organized here is of the younger generation and none of the old warriors of former seasons are in it, but the boys know how to play ball. Other games are scheduled for the future. Any person not yet registered or having changed his place of residence since registering should call us up. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE, Knights of the Royal Arch.

Justice of the Peace Howard thinks that he is entitled to a raise in salary from $25 a month to $50, and he has asked that a census of Anaheim township be taken to determine whether or not it has passed the 5,000 mark. When the census was taken in 1910 the population was about 4,000. Since then there has been a big growth, and the business of the office has increased considerably. Judge Howard is known as a capable, square justice, and no one will begrudge him the raise if it is shown that he is entitled to it. The district attorney's office is looking up the law on the question. THURSDAY, October 2 —WE DELIVER TO ALL PARTS OF THE CITY— Fisher WINE CO. ANAHEIM, CAL.
