Entered at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter. NON PARTISAN ELECTION The county elections next fall will be held under the provisions of the new primary law which practically wipes out party lines. There will be party tickets at the primaries because partisan nominations will be made for state officers but county candidates can run on all the tickets and the two who receive the highest aggregate vote will fight it out at the regular election in November. The influence of party will be indirect and slight. When a man starts out to secure a place on the primary ballot for a county office he will make no official statement of his party affiliation. He will announce that he is seeking a nomination for sheriff for example but he will not announce that he is seeking the Republican nomination or the Democratic nomination for that office. Any registered voter, Republican, Democrat or Socialist, may sign his petition for a place upon the primary ballots. If he gets the necessary number of signers—and the necessary number is so small that any candidate should be able to get it—his name will be printed on the primary ballots of all the political parties that are recognized in the primary election. When the votes are counted, if a candidate for nomination for any office gets 50 Republican votes, 40 Democratic votes, 10 Socialist votes and 20 Bull Moose votes, he will be credited with 120 votes. And if that is the largest or next to the largest total number of votes received by any candidate for the same office his name will be printed on the official ballot at the succeeding election. REFORESTATION COMMITTEE REPORT FRANCIS CUTTLE, EXECUTIVE OFFICER OF TRI-COUNTIES ASSOCIATION TALKS OF WORK PROTECTIVE SYSTEM COMPLETE WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE SANTA ANA WATERSHED Francis Cuttle of Riverside, the executive officer of the Tri-Counties Reforestation Committee, formed by representatives of Orange, San Bernardino and Riverside counties has completed a report to the committee upon the status of the fire protective work in the Santa Ana watershed, from which comes water used in irrigation in three counties. The report follows in full: Riverside, Cal., Oct. 9, 1913. To the Tri-Counties Reforestation Committee: Gentlemen—As stated to you in the communication addressed to each member, the appropriation of $5,000 for the continuation of the work of constructing a fire protective system in the Angeles forest was granted by the state legislature by the passage of Assembly Bill No. 209, this appropriation being contingent upon an equal amount being set aside for the same purpose by the National Forest service, and as we already have written assurance from Mr. H. S. Graves that the service would set aside the $5,000 contingent upon a like appropriation being made by the state of California, this makes available $10,000 for carrying on this work. The fire protective system, consisting of lanes and trails, is now pretty well constructed, excepting in the water shed of the Santa Ana river, itself, which is an area probably 12 miles long by one to one and a half miles wide, through approximately the center of which runs the Santa Ana river. Of course it will not be possible to construct a complete fire protective system in the Santa Ana river with the amount of funds secured, as some portions of the $10,000 must necessarily be spent on other portions of the Angeles forest. However, there is another source from which funds might be secured for the construction of roads and trails in the Santa Ana tary of Agriculture, worth while to make a fort to convince the seafront should have 10 per cent of the Angeles forests. As the income of the Acre now $21,000 per annum (in the state) it would be of $2,100 per annum to the discretion of the Agriculture. I wish also to call this committee to what Weeks Law, which became a law M.D. provides: "That the United States can apply appropriated money for water sheds of navigation should not be a difficult cure an amendment to referred to, or the practice, which will provide diture of money for the water sheds of innay where the waters froze are more valuable for poses and for irrigation transportation. It should not be allowed to convince members on the Pacific Coast, the arid regions, water one hundred to one thousand times as migration of our orchards lands and for domestic law also provides that priced for the fiscal year 30, 1910, one million each fiscal year there to exceed two million in the examination, quirement of lands located waters of navigable which are being or will be developed for navigable here is a fund at this time to two million dollars able for the acquirement head or on the water navigable streams. Would it not be a good committee to make sure that law so ample some of this money acquiredment of lands sheds of innavigable can be shown that these streams are many times for other purposes transportation. It may very great expenditure this time to secure PERMISSION GIVEN TO ROAD RACERS Supervisors Grant Right of Way to the Phoenix Speeders November 3 Orange county will not stand in the way of the Phoenix road race on November 3, and the racers may rush through the county at any old speed they want to. Dr. Dobson appeared before the board Tuesday morning and requested the board to give permission to use the roads from 5 to 8 A.M. on the morning of the big race. There was some opposition from Leck and Schumacher and the matter was passed over to Wednesday morning. Dobson was backed by the presence of a number of the active members of the Santa Ana Auto Club. Dr. Dobson stated that it was a great advertising stunt for the county and should the supervisors deny this request the county would certainly get knocked good and hard by autoists in all parts of the county. H. T. Rutherford also spoke in favor of granting the request. Men will be stationed at all streets intersecting the main road through the county. About one hundred men will be required. The militia will assist in patrolling the streets. Leck opposed the races to the last, and at roll call voted no. Smith, Struck and Schumacher voted yes. Smith occupied the chair in the absence of T. B. Talbert, who is in New York. Of course it will not be possible to construct a complete fire protective system in the Santa Ana river with the amount of funds secured, as some portions of the $10,000 must necessarily be spent on other portions of the Angeles forest. However, there is another source from which funds might be secured for the construction of roads and trails in the Santa Ana watershed. I refer to the authority given the Secretary of Agriculture by the last appropriation act of congress which provides: "That hereafter an additional ten per centum of all moneys received from the National forests during each fiscal year shall be available at the end thereof to be expended by the Secretary of Agriculture for the construction and maintenance of roads and trails within the National forests in the states from which such profits are derived, but the Secretary of Agriculture may, whenever practicable in the construction and maintenance of such roads, secure the cooperation or aid of the proper state of territorial authorities in the furtherance of any system of highways of which such roads may be made a part." This 10 per cent fund is in addition to the regular 25 per cent fund, which goes to the several counties of the state in proportion to the area of national forest lands embraced within the respective counties and which is available for the construction of roads and the maintenance of schools in such manner as may be provided by the state legislature. So far the county of San Bernardino has been the only one of the three counties that has had authority to receive any portion of the 25 per cent fund last referred to and the supervisors of that county have appropriated considerable sums of money out of that fund to assist in the protection of the water shed cover. As congress has already recognized the fact that 10 per cent, at least, of money earned by a national forest should be expended thereon, at the discretion of the Secrete- Would it not be a good committee to make sure that law so ample some of this money can acquirement of lands sheds of innavigable can be shown that these streams are many times for other purposes in transportation. It might very great expenditure this time to secure land on the south side Bernardino mountain hands, and it is not that lands will ever be wilt than they are today Brookings company, their logging operation Bernardino mountain willing to dispose of lands than they were matter was taken up has been about sixty miles from the Angeles forest during dry season, over forty being in the water shed are interested. Possibly largely due to the water shed has patrolled by watchmen fires have done any water shed so that worth w...le to have ing the summer time precaution possible and to be on the grot extinguish any which In this connection gested that it would idea for the supervision to have a space clear wide) on each side o through the water shed is any brush or debrisly catch fire from that of a lighted match or of the many means be started by travelers.

As the income of the Angeles forest is now $21,000 per annum (the third largest in the state) it would give a fund of $2,100 per annum to be expended at the discretion of the Secretary of Agriculture. I wish also to call the attention of this committee to what is known as the Weeks Law, which by the act of congress became a law March 1, 1911. It provides: "That the sum of $200,000 is appropriated to enable the Secretary of Agriculture to co-operate with any state or group of states, when requested to do so, in the protection from fire of the forested water sheds of navigable streams." I am not going to suggest that we attempt to make any of the streams in which we are interested nacigable streams, but I am going to suggest that if the congress of the United States can appropriate and has appropriated money for the protection of water sheds of navigable streams, it should not be a difficult matter to secure an amendment to the act above referred to, or the passage of a new act, which will provide for the expenditure of money for the protection of water sheds of innavigable streams where the waters from such streams are more valuable for domestic purposes and for irrigation than for water transportation. It should not be a difficult matter to convince members of congress that on the Pacific Coast, particularly in the arid regions, water is worth from one hundred to one thousand or ten thousand times as much for the irrigation of our orchards and agriculture lands and for domestic purposes, as it is for water transportation. This same law also provides that there is appropriated for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1910, one million dollars and for each fiscal year thereafter a sum not to exceed two million dollars for use in the examination, survey and acquisition of lands located on the head waters of navigable streams or those which are being or which may be developed for navigable purposes. So here is a fund at this time amounting to two million dollars per annum, available for the acquirement of lands at the head or on the water sheds of navigable streams. Would it not be a good idea for this committee to make an endeavor to have that law so amended as to make some of this money available for the acquirement of lands on the water sheds of innavigable streams where it can be shown that the waters of such streams are many times more valuable for other purposes than for water transportation. It might not require a very great expenditure of money at this time to secure teh few pieces of tary of Agriculture, would it not be worth while to make a determined effort to convince the secretary that we should have 10 per cent of the income of the Angeles forest spent upon it.

It might not require a very great expenditure of money at this time to secure teh few pieces of land on the south slope of the San Bernardino mountains still in private hands, and it is not likely that these lands will ever be worth less money than they are today. Probably the Brookings company, having finished their logging operations in the San Bernardino mountains, might be more willing to dispose of their cut-over lands than they were at the time this matter was taken up before. There has been about sixty incipient fires in the Angeles forest during the past long dry season, over forty of these fires being in the water shed in which we are interested. Possibly largely due to the fact that the water shed has been thoroughly patrolled by watchmen, none of these fires have done any damage to our water shed so that it is evidently worth w...le to have extra men on during the summer time to take every precaution possible to prevent fires and to be on the ground to promptly extinguish any which may get a start. In this connection it has been suggested that it would be an excellent idea for the supervisors of the county to have a space cleared (say 8 feet wide) on each side of all county roads through the water sheds where there is any brush or debris that might easily catch fire from the throwing down of a lighted match or cigar stub or any of the many means by which fires are started by travelers. Money could be used for this purpose by the supervisors from the 25 per cent fund which is received by the counties as income from national forests in such counties. It would also seem that it might be a good idea for the forest rangers and extra patrolmen A study of the water situation will also be made in the various fields with a view to assist in remedying the prevailing unsatisfactory conditions. The desire of Mr. Hamilton is to make the scope of this report so wide and the information contained therein so complete and thorough that it will serve as a guide to all in any way concerned, from the driller in the field to capital seeking investment. Mr. R. P. McLaughlin, the well known petroleum geologist and engineer, has been assigned to this branch and his work will be augmented by various field assistants. Needless to say, the successful completion of these plans lies largely in the hands of owners and operators now actively engaged in the petroleum industry in the state. Assistance will be solicited, during the course of preparation of this report, from engineers, geologists, managers, superintendents and skilled workmen connected with the various branches of the industry. It is very greatly to be desired that their cooperation will be given in every possible way when called upon. The work will be hurried to completion as fast as the necessary data can be assembled and the resulting report will undoubtedly fill a long-felt want, assisting to no small degree in the greater development of California’s greatest single industry. MOTTLED-LEAF BLIGHT Following a tour of the citrus fruit regions of Southern California, H. J. Webber, dean and director of the citrus station of the University of California, issued a statement that the mottled-leaf blight, a strange disease of the citrus fruit, is the greatest present menace of the orange industry in California. He sounds the warning to the growers throughout the southern and central parts of the state to take up immediately the battle against the blight. “The San Jose and black scale we THURSDAY, October 16 WE DELIVER TO ALL PARTS OF THE CITY Fisher WINE CO.
