Bids were received for the erection of three cottages, laundry building and club house at the county farm. A protest was filed by C. M.

The clerk was directed to advertise NEW PRECINCTS FOR THE COUNTY Supervisors to Redistrict the Polling Places and Add More Supervisor H. E. Smith has issued an invitation to the members of the Republican and Democratic county central committees of the first supervisoral district to be present at a meeting at the board of supervisors' room at the court house next Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock for the purpose of proposing new precinct boundaries. The state law requires that when a precinct's vote runs over 200 the supervisors must cut the precinct to reduce the work of election officers. At the last election all but one or two of Santa Ana's precincts cast over 200 votes each. A number of other precincts of the county did likewise. Between now and January 1, 1914, when the new registration begins, the supervisors must make the necessary boundary changes. Each supervisor is delegated to make the changes for his district, his decisions to be passed upon by the board. Supervisor Smith's district comprises all of Santa Ana, the fourth ward recently having been transferred from the fifth to the first supervisorial district. The meeting Saturday will discuss the changes in boundaries, and it is possible that radical changes will be made. There has been some talk of using the principal streets as the boundary lines straight through the city. NOTES FROM The Olinda Landing work on No. 12 working at some distance er.

The new house will be under the management of Geo. C. Cole, of Santa Ana. As the fruit is graded it is the intention to stamp each orange either with the blue or green label. This label will go right to the table of the consumer, as it is put on with wax. NOTES FROM OIL FIELD The Olinda Land Company is pushing work on No. 12 well, which is drilling at some distance from any producer. A strike would prove considerable territory. The Amalgamated Oil Company well No. 20 is still drilling in oil sand; No. 22, which has been shut down the last ten days, is at a depth of 2,942 feet and drilling will be resumed. A rig has been erected for well No. 28. The Hualde well is down 2,880 feet. The North American has struck gas and found good indications of oil in its well on the Delmer Woodward place at a depth of about 1,800 feet. The General Petroleum Company has well No. 43 on the pump.

Whether or not another well will be drilled has not been given out by the Grand-Stevens Company. BEET SUGAR HIT HARD The annual meeting of beet sugar manufacturers was held at Chicago on Monday and new officers elected for 1914. Next year's crop will be the last to be marketed, it was said, as beet sugar will be unable to compete with free cane sugar after 1916. One hundred million dollars invested in beet sugar factories, according to one delegate, will be forced to find new employment. Captain E. Barr came in from Elsinor on Tuesday on a visit to his friends hereabouts. MAKING TESTS OF VALLEY ORANGES Government Expert to Determine What Constitutes Ripe Fruit E. M. Chase, chemist of the Pure Food Bureau of the Department of Agriculture, has established headquarters in the Porterville district and has begun making exhaustive tests of oranges in an effort to formulate a government standard by which may be determined an official answer to the long mooted question: "When is an orange a ripe orange?" Chase will have several assistants, who will make daily selections of fruit at widely variant points in the district. These oranges will be analyzed each evening and a chart made showing the change in relation between the acid content and sugar content in the juice. Frequent consultations will be had with orange packers, shippers and growers, to determine what they consider fruit fit to ship, and evidence will be secured from consumers as to what they believe is an orange that is good to eat. All this data will be tabulated and at the end of the season the department hopes to have means of fixing a definite standard. The question as it affects the Porterville district and the orchards of the foothills is particularly complex. The color standard, as maintained, partially, in Florida, is impossible, since in some portions of this district fruit which is grass green is not only palatable but in some cases is extremely good fruit to eat. The acid content standard is a difficult one, at present, as chemical tests are difficult for a grower to secure. WANTED—Housekeeper; no children. Address H. H., Box 256.
