The dramatic section of this society has been at work for some time to make this evening's entertainment a complete success. The feature of the evening will be a comic terzett, "Die Fidele Gerichts-Sitzung," and "Koechin Anton," which is a military comedy, picturing the love affairs of four German soldiers. Every lover of good, clean, humorous entertainment, who understands German should prepare to attend. A good time is assured to everyone present. After the play a dance will be given.

It developed Friday that Ulm bought half a pound of cyanide at Hatzfeld & Parsons' drug store about noon on Wednesday. He said he was going to fumigate the Armory. No attempt was made by him to commit suicide during the day, and none of his family knew that he had any such act in mind. He was dead before the family knew of his financial difficulties. Some of those close to the situation are fully satisfied that Ulm kept two sets of books, one that he showed to the directors when they met, which was seldom, and one that he showed to the State Building & Loan Commissioner. There is considerable criticism of the work of the state commissioner, who, year after year, seems to have taken Ulm's statements as they stood, without investigating to see if bank deposits and other assets were as they were represented. An effort is being made to determine the financial condition of the Santa Ana Armory Association, which built the Armory. Captain Ulm was secretary of that corporation, and practically all the business was left to him. Many of the subscribers to that corporation considered their stock as a donation to the Armory. Others considered it an investment. CONSERVATION OF SANTA ANA'S WATER River's Stream Is Used Eight Times Before Reaching Sea That power can be generated by the harnessing of surface streams, and then compelled to recover that same water after it has sunk into the soil in the distant valleys, is proved by the fact that the water of the Santa Ana River is used eight times before it saved from being crushed chine above her.

MAKE GOOD RECORD That the equipment and organization of the government ranger force will take care of extraordinary as well as average forest fire conditions is shown by preliminary fire reports from all the national forests in California just received by District Forester DuBols, at San Francisco. Up to October 31 the United States forest service had to fight 1,486 forest and brush fires—an average of ten fires every day throughout the fire season. Outside of the national forests sensational fires occurred on Mount Tamalpais, in Santa Cruz and Napa counties and elsewhere; but on the areas protected by the government the damage was generally small, in spite of the fact that more than three times the number of fires occurred this season than occurred in 1910, the worst previous year. Only 11,200 acres of government timber lands were burned, and the average fire in timber amounted to less than ten acres. In the heavy brush of Southern California and the Sierras foothills 342 fires burned a total of 103,385 acres, or an average of 302 acres to a fire. Half of this area burned in San Diego county, where the government fire-fighting machinery is crippled by local sentiment opposed to fire protection. THE HOBO The statement recently published in an exchange to the effect that that undesirable class of citizens, the hobos, are flocking into Southern California in droves and that Anaheim will receive more than its just proportion of the influx by reason of certain attractions that appeal to them is rather ambiguous. Just what the writer was referring to in that sentence is not obvious. If he meant that the hobos were headed in this direction because they could purchase liquor here, his statement was ridiculous. If these gentry have the price they can find liquors of every kind in any dry town through which they pass and the vendors are not particular as to the class of customers they serve. In the saloons and wholesale houses of Anaheim the hobo is an undesirable customer and is frequently invited to leave before he makes a purchase. If he means that they will find congenial companionship here he is casting an insult upon the citizens of Anaheim. Morally, intellectually and physically the people of Anaheim, we believe, will compare favor- River's Stream Is Used Eight Times Before Reaching Sea That power can be generated by the harnessing of surface streams, and then compelled to recover that same water after it has sunk into the soil in the distant valleys, is proved by the fact that the water of the Santa Ana River is used eight times before it finds its way into the sea. A portion of the water is stored in the San Bernardino Mountains, and the flow of the stream thereby regulated. From the reservoir the water is diverted through a power plant, where electricity is generated. When it leaves the power plant the water is distributed for municipal and irrigation purposes in the vicinity of Highlands and Redlands. Water that is returned in the process of irrigation thereabouts is picked up again in springs and flowing wells or by pumps, power developed by the water higher up-stream being used to pump the water to the surface again. The portion recovered is used for irrigating in the vicinity of Riverside and San Bernardino. Some of the water again makes its appearance in the Riverside Narrows, where it is again thrown into a power ditch and returned to the river at a point above Corona. Miles below, it is picked up by canals and conveyed to the citrus groves of Orange, Santa Ana and Anaheim. The portion of it that returns to the soil in the process of irrigation in Orange county is once more recovered by the flowing wells and pumping plants west and south of Anaheim. All of which goes to show that Southern California conserves her water supply to an extreme degree. AUTO TURNS TURTLE WITH EIGHT PEOPLE Nobody Seriously Hurt But All Are Badly Frightened An automobile with eight people from Pomona went over an embankment at Villa Park Sunday. By the greatest of good luck no one was seriously hurt. One woman had her back wrenched, and she was badly bruised. The other members of the party escaped with slight bruises. The machine landed across a ditch, wheels up, and was not badly damaged. The accident occurred Sunday night about 6:30 o'clock on what is known per ton.

In the saloons and wholesale houses of Anaheim the hobo is an undesirable customer and is frequently invited to leave before he makes a purchase. If he means that they will find congenial companionship here he is casting an insult upon the citizens of Anaheim. Morally, intellectually and physically the people of Anaheim, we believe, will compare favorably with those of any neighboring community. Our business men, our professional men and the citizens generally will take equal rank with those of other towns, our churches are as many and the membership as great, and our schools acknowledge no superiority. Just what attraction Anaheim presents to the hobo is not apparent. SETTLING ULM'S ACCOUNTS First Lieutenant J. L. McBride has taken full charge of the property of Company L, Seventh Regiment, N. G. C., and is checking over the property that was in charge of Captain N. A. Ulm, who committed suicide last Wednesday night. McBride will receipt to the state for the property, and until the checking is completed it cannot be told whether or not there is any shortage. So far as can be learned, the state property is all here. Attorney Clyde Bishop, representing Ulm's estate, is confident that the New York Life Insurance Company will have to pay $5,000 on the policy that Ulm carried in that company. Ulm's lease on the Grand opera house has been given up, and his book store business is being adjusted. It will be two weeks before the extent of Ulm's defalcations as secretary of the Or- An automobile with eight people from Pomona went over an embankment at Villa Park Sunday. By the greatest of good luck no one was seriously hurt. One woman had her back wrenched, and she was badly bruised. The other members of the party escaped with slight bruises. The machine landed across a ditch, wheels up, and was not badly damaged. The accident occurred Sunday night about 6:30 o'clock on what is known as the old road to the County Park. On that road are two grades, and it was on the one nearest Villa Park that the accident occurred. In the automobile were Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Crabbe and their son Robert, aged 8, Mr. and Mrs. James H. Wilkinson and two children and Mrs. Frank Ford, all of Pomona. Crabbe, a realty dealer at Pomona, owned the car and was driving. The party spent the day at the County Park and was on the road home when the accident occurred. Crabbe remembered the turns on the east grade, and made them successfully. On the west grade he thought the road went straight ahead, and he was not prepared for a sharp curve. He almost succeeded in making the curve, however. Two wheels on one side went off the edge of the embankment. Crabbe managed to swing the front wheel back on the road, but the rear end of the automobile swung around and off, and the machine then went down the 10-foot embankment, turning turtle and coming to a stop across an irrigation ditch. Mrs. Crabbe and her son Robert were the only ones not thrown clear of the machine.

The boy was caught between the two seats in such a manner that there was but little weight upon his body. Mrs. Crabbe was extricated, and of the party she was the only one who had to be put to bed. She was taken to her home this morning. The windshield and steering wheel were smashed, but otherwise the automobile went through the affair without much damage. CHILI PEPPERS Ranchmen in the neighborhood of Garden Grove are harvesting their chili crop, the scarlet peppers, which they will cure and prepare for shipment. The product, when well cured, will bring 8½ cents per pound, and most of the crop is disposed of to wholesale houses in Los Angeles. Part of the crop, however, is sent East, J. Allen Knapp being the heaviest shipper of this hot vegetable to the Eastern states. Allen Brothers, who produce a large acreage of the peppers every year, send their crop to Los Angeles. A short time ago the cured product brought as high as 14 cents per pound, at which time the chilis were scarce and in great demand. Aside from the cured product, many tons are disposed of green to canneries and wholesalers. The product green was sold for $18 per ton. Contracts for the chili are difficult to secure, stated one of the growers yesterday. The contracts for next season's crop of peppers have been made with ranchmen of northern Orange county already, the papers being signed before this year's crop has been harvested. Japanese have gone into the industry and are making large shipments from Garden Grove. ROYAL Baking Powder Saves Health and Saves Money and Makes Better Food viewed the business of the past season from the standpoint of the co-operative exchanges and congratulated the growers upon the closing of a very successful year's business considering the adverse conditions. Other speakers were F. Q. Story, president, and C. H. Grassly, district manager of the California Brew Growers' Exchange between 50 and 60, and $30 for machines of 60-horse power or over. Some owners in the county have consulted attorneys in the matter and have been advised to refuse payment until the law has been tested in the courts, as it is maintained that the act providing the special tax for purposes of revenue and not affecting regulation. BAPTIST ASSOCIATION HOLDS CONVENTION Three Days' Convention at Fullerton Successful Session The Santa Ana Valley Baptist Association, of which Rev. Otto S. Russell is president, closed its annual session at Fullerton on Friday, November 21, at noon. The sessions were well attended and the program was excellent throughout. There is much owing to the presiding officer for the many good and helpful things enjoyed during the three days of the convention. The reports from the churches were good and the sermons and addresses of a high order. The B. G. P. U. of the Immanuel Baptist church, Santa Ana, was awarded the Young People's banner for work done. The association will meet in 1914 at Riverside and the Rev. William Thomas, pastor of the Immanuel Baptist church of Santa Ana, was elected to preach the annual sermon. Rev. J M. Davison of Riverside will be the moderator of that meeting. The association was prefaced on last Tuesday evening in the First Baptist church of Fullerton at 7:15 with a Young People's rally. On Wednesday morning at 9:45 o'clock, the association was formally opened with Moderator Russell in the chair. Rev. R. B. Whiteside of Fullerton gave the welcoming address. A women's session occupied the afternoon with report on woman's work in the church activities and missions, talks and papers by Mrs. Anna Murdock, Miss Laura Carson and Miss Grace Van Zant. Rev. Frank Mathews preached the afternoon sermon. In the evening the annual sermon was given by Rev. F. W. Reynolds, Rev. Wm. Thomas of Santa Ana leading the devotionals. Thursday morning's session was devoted largely to business and reports of the various activities of the church as concerning the association. A foreign mission address on "The Judson Centennial and One Hundred Years of Foreign Missions" was given by A.W. viewed the business of the past season from the standpoint of the co-operative exchanges and congratulated the growers upon the closing of a very successful year's business considering the adverse conditions. Other speakers were F. Q. Story, president, and C. H. Grassly, district manager of the California Fruit Growers' Exchange, besides the discussion of matters of local interest by various members. There are 120 growers in the Placentia association, and during the season just closed they have shipped 424 cars of fruit, 169,000 boxes, with net returns to the growers, after payment of all expenses, amounting to $384,630. Officers of the association re-elected are: E. F. C. Klokke, president; Abe Prifchard, secretary and manager; other directors, A. Pierotti, William Berkenstock, H. W. Schultz, S. S. Twombly, S. W. McCulloch and L. P. Drake. SUGAR BEET PULP $1.50 per ton in silo, 75 cents per ton fresh from chute, wagon haul only. Price reduced to beet growers as usual. LOS ALAMITOS SUGAR FACTORY. COTTON, RICE AND HOPS The cotton crop of Imperial county is estimated at not less than 19,000 bales. There is a great demand for the seed. Experiments in growing cotton have been made at Oakdale, Stanislaus county, and have proved very satisfactory. It is likely to become a leading industry in that section. The rice crop of the upper Sacramento Valley for this year is estimated at $1,000,000. It is figured that 10,000 acres at 50 sacks per acre will bring $2 per sack. This is a new California industry and is growing rapidly, there being much call for land at fair prices in the rice growing districts, which is much emphasized by the establishment of rice mills within easier reach. Richvale is shipping rice straw, the product of three baling machines, to the Antioch paper mills. The California hop crop this year is estimated at 95,000 bales, worth approximately $5,000,000. tween 50 and 60, and $30 for machines of 60-horse power or over. Some owners in the county have consulted attorneys in the matter and have been advised to refuse payment until the law has been tested in the courts, as it is maintained that the act providing the special tax for purposes of revenue and not affecting regulation of traffic will fall under the head of class legislation. Several owners in neighboring towns have declared their intention of refusing payment of the state treasurer's demand until a test case is brought.

Frank Mathews preached the afternoon sermon. In the evening the annual sermon was given by Rev. F. W. Reynolds, Rev. Wm. Thomas of Santa Ana leading the devotionals. Thursday morning's session was devoted largely to business and reports of the various activities of the church as concerning the association. A foreign mission address on "The Judson Centennial and One Hundred Years of Foreign Missions" was given by A. W. Rider. Rev. J. H. Scott of Santa Ana gave a talk on "The Next Anniversary," and Rev. J. H. Garnett conducted the Bible study. Thursday afternoon included talks from Mrs. O. S. Catland of Santa Ana and Miss K. H. Candee on "Success in Teacher Training." The praise meeting on Thursday evening was addressed by Rev. A. M. Petty, formerly of Santa Ana Baptist church, on the topic, "The Stranger Within Our Gates." An open parliament was an interesting feature of the closing session held Friday forenoon. It was conducted by Geo. F. Holt. The closing sermon was given by Rev. W. H. Galbraith. The Fullerton church was most hospitable to the delegates, providing lodging and breakfast for all of them. On Thursday afternoon the delegates and visitors were the guests of the city of Fullerton on a delightful automobile ride over Fullerton and the surrounding country. FRUIT GROWERS MEET G.
