WATER COMPANY ORDERS PIPE LINE EAST CENTER STREET AND ORANGETHORPE AVENUE DITCHES WILL BE COVERED MUCH OTHER BUSINESS TRANSACTED AT THE REGULAR MEETING SATURDAY The Anaheim Union Water Company's directors met in regular session Saturday afternoon and after hearing the minutes of the previous meeting, plunged into business. On motion of Dwyer, seconded by Hale, the superintendent was instructed to put an overflow gate on the upper end of the North Branch pipe line. Director Dwyer reported that the property owners on East Center street would give the company a right of way for a pipe line and do all the work if the company would furnish the pipe and cement. On motion of Bradford, seconded by Beazley, their proposition was accepted. On motion of Dwyer, seconded by Beazley, the president and secretary were authorized to sign a warrant in favor of the County of Orange for $200 in payment of grading done on Caroline avenue. The ditch committee recommended that a pipe line be put in in place of raising the present open ditch on Orangethorpe avenue, near L. Gardiner's property. It was moved by Holcomb, seconded by Dwyer, and carried, that On motion of Dwyer, seconded by Beazley, the president and secretary were authorized to sign a warrant in favor of the County of Orange for $200 in payment of grading done on Caroline avenue. The ditch committee recommended that a pipe line be put in in place of raising the present open ditch on Orangethorpe avenue, near L. Gardiner's property. It was moved by Holcomb, seconded by Dwyer, and carried, that the report of the ditch committee be accepted and the superintendent and engineer put in the pipe at once. It was moved by Hale and seconded by Sherwood that a crossing be put in at the corner of J. Carhart's property in the Miles' tract, provided the property owners interested would pay one-half the cost of same. The question of accepting a new right of way for a pipe line in exchange for the present right of way along the property of O. Schumacher in Placentia was referred to the superintendent. On motion of Hale, seconded by Dwyer, the superintendent was instructed to enlarge the crossing on East street, near Mr. Hall's property to twice its present capacity. The report of the finance committee was read and approved and warrants ordered drawn in payment of the various demands therein recommended. The president and secretary were also authorized to sign warrants as follows: Stern & Goodman $25.80, Byron Jackson Iron Works $1,120.86. The bill of Clever & Gulick was referred to W. Parrett to adjust, and the president and secretary were authorized to sign a warrant for the amount when o. k.'d by Parrett. On motion of Hale, seconded by Beazley, the president and secretary were authorized to sign a warrant in favor of J. Wm. Smith for the amount of his bill o. k.'d by Director Sherwood.

The complaint of A. Edwards in regard to waste water overflowing his property at Yorba Linda was referred to the superintendent and ditch committee with power to act. A. Toussau's request for refund on rent on La Habra reservoir site was referred to the oil committee. On motion of Hale, seconded by Sherwood, the right of way for the Treher pipe line was accepted. A communication from E. A. Giles, Fullerton city clerk, agreeing to pay one-half the cost of lowering the crossing at Malden and Amerage streets, was received and the superintendent instructed to do the work.

What we want to do now is to get after the causes.I believe that by a systematic study of these human agency causes,by a psychological analysis of the various classes of men who start fires—whether their motives arise from indifference,carelessness,irresponsibility,或maliciousness—and by subsequently planning a campaign along legislative,educational,and coercive lines to remove or counteract these causes we will be able materially to reduce the total number of fires set or allowed to start. “If we can work out this problem successfully we shall be able to cut down our fire expense to such a degree that a constantly larger proportion of our annual appropriation can be applied to the improvement and development of the California forests with their enormous natural resources and scenic wonders.” Data has been collected for months by forest officers in the field,Mr.DuBois said,touseh a basis for working out his idea,and a comprehensive plan to put the resulting conclusions into operation is now being formulated. **FOREST NOTES** The forests of Florida contain 175 different kinds of wood. There are seven spruces in the United States.Four are confined to the west;two to the east;while one,white spruce,has a continent-wide distribution. Sawmill waste of Douglas fir.of **COLD STORAGE PRICES** You hear people talking every day with acrimonious criticism of cold storage and the people who control the plant as the cause of the high cost of eggs,butter,meat and other edibles. It is a wrong conception.it is simply a case of supply and demand,and but for the cold storage plants these commodities would be dearer,not cheaper.Remember,Mr.Agitator and Mr.Reformer,the cold storage people do not buy nor put in storage eggs that cost 40 cents a dozen in the winter time,但pick them up when they are abundant in the spring at from 6 to 10 cents a dozen If it were not for the cold storage people the farmers all through the country,when “Biddy” was very busy filling her nest with eggs,would be obliged to sell the “hen fruit” at 3 or 4 cents a dozen Then,在the period when “Biddy” was on her vacation,the market would be supplied only with fresh eggs and they would be a dollar a dozen,if not a dollar apiece.The same way with butter,which is picked up in the market when grasses are lush and green and the milk flows in fountains from the udders of the cattle upon a thousand hills That was why butter was $1.20 a roll in California in the slack season when there were no cold storage people to hold down the price by selling storage butter. Before the cold storage plants came into existence every farmer was his own packer of butter and of eggs,which were put down in brine,in tubs covered with salt,and in one way or another These farm-packed butter PLANS TO REDUCE FOREST FIRES An innovation in forest fire defense which may revolutionize that science is proposed by District Forester DuBois of the United States Forest Service. By focussing on the preventable man-caused fires in California and endeavoring to remove or counteract this human agency element, Mr. DuBois believes that he can not only reduce the total number of fires but reduce, at the same time, the $200,000 annual fire fund in his district. "Heretofore," said the district forester in a statement issued by him, "we have concentrated on the business of locating fires when started and suppressing them when discovered. We spend over $280,000—nearly half of our annual appropriation for administering the national forests of California—in this work. This is money well spent, of course, when we consider that the 19 national forests in this state alone contain 98,000,000,000 feet of government timber, worth some $294,000,000 to the people of the state and nation. We have brought our fire-fighting and fire patrol organization to a condition of as nearly complete efficiency as we could. Unless circumstances are exceptional, we can usually locate a fire within a few minutes of its starting, and suppress it as a rule before much damage has been done. "But this is not enough, to my mind." FOREST NOTES The forests of Florida contain 175 different kinds of wood. There are seven spruces in the United States. Four are confined to the west; two to the east; while one, white spruce, has a continent-wide distribution. Sawmill waste 'of Douglas fir,' of which an enormous quantity is found in the western forests, is being used to make paper pulp by a mill at Marshfield, Oregon. In proportion to its weight, California redwood is the strongest conifer so far tested at the United States forest products laboratory. This strength is due to its long wood fibers. The Philippine bureau of forestry reports that American and European lumbermen are trying to secure large and regular shipments of Philippine woods, mainly for cabinet making. Experiments with various chemical extinguishers for fighting national forest fires have not been very successful. The unlimited supply of oxygen in the open, forest officers say, tends to neutralize the effect of the chemicals.

Jess was injured in a collision some months ago but has entirely recovered. are lush and green and the milk flows in fountains from the udders of the cattle upon a thousand hills. That was why butter was $1.20 a roll in California in the slack season when there were no cold storage people to hold down the price by selling storage butter. Before the cold storage plants came into existence every farmer was his own packer of butter and of eggs, which were put down in brine, in tubs covered with salt, and in one way or another. These farm-packed butter and eggs cost more than storage-packed and were not as good. But for the cold storage people these and many other food commodities would cost twice or three times as much as they do today. Half a century ago farmers never received more than 50 cents a bushel for wheat on the farm, more than 25 cents a bushel for corn, and the same price for potatoes. At that time America was the food warehouse of Europe, with a vast surplus of everything for export. There were more beef cattle than there were eaters of beef in the country, more potatoes than potato eaters, more butter than butter eaters, more wheat than bread eaters. A good deal less than that time back it took tens of thousands of railroad cars to transport California wheat from the farms to tidewater where, at times, ships got 80 shillings a ton, amounting to just 60 cents a bushel for carrying the surplus wheat of California around Cape Horn to supply Europe with bread. America has ceased to be a large exporter of foodstuffs and is now consuming most of her crops at home, and in some cases has turned into an importer of foodstuffs. This reasoning applies to a good deal more than food- Thursday, December 11 Some Goods A CARLOAD OUR GOODS Bar No One for Price, Quality, and Quantity Whiskies in Wood Hermitage Old Crow Re-Imported Nelson 11 years old Melrose White Corn Cedar Brook Atherton California Brandies From 1 to 10 years And ALL Kinds of Imported Brandies Imported Wines and Champagnes Sparkling Burgundy Sparkling Moselle St. Julian Table-de-Hote An assortment of anything you need.
