REGISTRATION DISCOURAGES MOOSES FRIENDS OF GOVERNOR JOHNSON PLAN TO CAPTURE REPUBLICAN NOMINATION THIRD PARTY MOVEMENT SEEMS TO HAVE GONE CLIMMERING IN TWILIGHT San Francisco, Feb. 7.—A report, coming from an authoritative source, that friends of Governor Johnson are planning to place his name on the Republican primary ballot, as a candidate for governor, has further complicated the already complex political situation. According to the report, the Progressives are discouraged at the registration figures, and the plan to place Johnson on the Republican ballot is for the purpose of discovering the governor's strength in the Republican party before the November election. It is no longer a secret that the third party adherents have been dumbfounded at the magnitude of the Republican registration, particularly in the Los Angeles region, where Republican registrations nearly equal the combined Progressive and Democratic figures. These figures, together with the declarations of Senators Bristow, La Follette and Cummins, and of Prendergast and Stimson, close friends to Col. Roosevelt, all of whom see no future for the Progressive party and have aligned themselves as Republicans, leaves little justification, it is being pointed out, for the organization of the third party in California. This fact, it is argued, accounts in large measure for the registration figures. Experienced politicians are contending that regardless of the ethics which Angeles region, where Republican registrations nearly equal the combined Progressive and Democratic figures. These figures, together with the declarations of Senators Bristow, La Follette and Cummins, and of Prendergast and Stimson, close friends to Col. Toosevelt, all of whom see no future for the Progressive party and have aligned themselves as Republicans, leaves little justification, it is being pointed out, for the organization of the third party in California. This fact, it is argued, accounts in large measure for the registration figures. Experienced politicians are contending that, regardless of the ethics which are involved, in placing Johnson on the Republican ballot, the governor's friends would be committing a blunder equal to the desertion of La Follette, and the barring of Republicans from voting their party ticket in the presidential election. Already the opinion is being expressed that if Johnson's friends desire to test their candidate's strength in others than his own party, they would more consistently and with less chance of injury to the progressive cause, make him a candidate on the Democratic ticket rather than on the ballot of the Republican party which he has condemned in unmeasured language, declared to be dead and unfit for the support of right-minded men. "If Governor Johnson permits his friends to make this move, he will without doubt lose the respect of a large portion of his Progressive party admirers," declares T. S. Minot, a San Francisco, attorney and a prominent member of the Republican Progressive League, yesterday. "A movement to insure progressive control of the Republican party, through the election of progressive county and state committees, is already well under way and will be organized at Stockton on Saturday, February 7. With Johnson on the Republican ballot, for a time the Progressive strength in the Republican party would be divided to a greater or less extent, and new hope and opportunity offered to the reactionary element, at present active, but without a chance of success at the primaries. "Republican progressives, though though they do not believe the Progressive party can endure, are not questioning the sincerity of the rank and file of that movement. Their aim is to safeguard the future by maintaining a progressive organization within the dominant party in California so that, when the third party proves its ineffectiveness as an instrument for progress, no ground shall be lost in following up the progressive Republican victories of 1910. "Johnson is equipped to make a strong fight for his party on his record of achievement. He and his friends pleaded expediency in deserting La Follette, and lost ground. The securing of a place for Johnson on the Republican ballot, at the expense of the movement to maintain the Republican party under progressive leadership, would surely react in a similar manner, no matter how expedient a political move it might, at first, appear to be." Orange Road to Open According to a statement made by Chief Engineer Pillsbury of the Pacific Electric railroad, service over the Orange line can be expected by March 1. In conversation with J. W. Morrison Mr. Pillsbury stated that inability to secure a crossing right over the Santa Fe tracks south of Orange had delayed building the road. He said, however, that a "courtesy crossing" is about to be arranged with the Santa Fe, so that the Pacific Electric work trains may come across to the east side of the Santa Fe and complete the road into Orange. The new line is completed as far as the Santa Fe tracks and the crossing rails are on hand ready to be put down as soon as permission is secured. Ties have been laid on the east side between the Santa Fe and the city limits for a part of the way, but there still remains some grading to be done. The last trip has been made over the old "dummy" line and the gasoline car finally has retired from service. Plan Assessment District About forty men met at the Olive school house Monday evening to consider a project for the formation of a protection district on the east side of the Santa Ana river. The greater number of those present were earnestly in favor of taking some measure to confine the Santa Ana river to its banks and prevent a repetition of the inundation which accompanied the recent high water. A committee, previously appointed to investigate the procedure necessary for the formation of a protection district, reportd on methods. The committee reported that the protection work could be financed by forming an assessment district. Mr. H'llyard from the county surveyor's office discussed the probable cost of work to be done in confining the flood waters to the river channel. It was decided to continue the committee on investigation and make a canvass of the district with a view of getting an expression from all the people who would be affected by an assessment district. Ranchers Meet About 40 men met at the Olive school house Monday evening to consider a project for the formation of a protection district on the east side of the Santa Ana river.

FIRM FOUNDATION Nothing Can Undermine It in Anaheim People are sometimes slow to recognize true merit, and they cannot be blamed, for so many have been humbugged in the past. The experience of hundreds of Anaheim residents, expressed publicly through newspapers and other sources, places Doan's Kidney Pills on a firm foundation here. Mrs. L. K. Marshall, 310 N. Los Angeles St., Anaheim, Cal., says: "I didn't sleep well on account of kidney weakness. My back was weak and I got up in the morning feeling languid and tired. My feet, ankles and limbs were swollen. I had dizzy spells and headaches. When having a severe attack of this trouble, I was induced to try Doan's Kidney Pills. They helped me so much that I continued taking them and they made me well. Since then, whenever I have needed a kidney medicine, I have taken a few doses of Doan's Kidney Pills and they have warded off any attack of the complaint. Another in our home has taken Doan's Kidney Pills with good results." For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, New York, sole agents for the United States. Remember the name—Doan's—and take no other.—Adv. Samuel Kraemer this week received two letters from his brother Jonathan, which were forwarded from Durango last June. They were held up in transit by the Mexican authorities. In the letters Jonathan speaks of considerable fighting being in progress at Durango. Early in the present year he crossed the line and went to Kansas, where he resided several weeks. He returned to Durango some days ago and will continue to reside there.

The greater number of those present were earnestly in favor of taking some measure to confine the Santa Ana river to its banks and prevent a repetition of the inundation which accompanied the recent high water. A committee, previously appointed to investigate the procedure necessary for the formation of a protection district, reported on methods. The committee reported that the protection work could be financed by forming an assessment district. Mr. Hillard from the county surveyor's office discussed the probable cost of work to be done in confining the flood waters to the river channel. It was decided to continue the committee on investigation and make a canvass of the district with a view of getting an expression from all the people who would be affected by an assessment district. Defective Cheese Slicers Santa Ana Blade: The cheese slicers operated by many of the grocery stores in the county have been making money for their owners, and grocers hereafter must weigh that commodity instead of taking the slicer as authority as to weight. This condition has existed for many moons, but the merchants have been honest in the belief that the slicer was accurate in its measurement of weight. County Sealer of Weights George McPhee has been busy since he received his official weights and measures and has about covered the county once, testing scales and measures in use in all lines of business endeavor. In almost every instance he has found cheese sliced by the cutter has been short one or two ounces, and he has warned those merchants using the slicer not to sell cheese as has been the custom in the past. It must be weighed. He has found a considerable discrepancy in the weight of 1- and 2-pound rolls of office discussed the probable cost of work to be done in confining the flood waters to the river channel.

In some forms the home-made butter goes two ounces over a pound and in some instances it is that many ounces under weight. His equipment for testing scales varies from one-sixteenth of an ounce to 50 pounds, and when he has all his paraphernalia with him it weighs between 400 and 500 pounds. Mr. McPhee has been very careful and accurate in his tests, and, where errors have been found, he has found the merchants more than willing to correct them. He has been treated courteously by all the business men, and has had their cooperation to a man in his duties of protecting the public against false weights and measures. The errors found have been due to faults of scales, etc., rather than an effort to cheat by short weights and measures. Incorporations Articles of incorporation have been filed by the Holly Orchards Company, which names Santa Ana as its principal place of business. The company is organized to handle property at Paso Robles. Of the capital stock of $100,000, there is $60,000 subscribed. The directors are J. H. Edwards, Dr. G. H. Dobson, C. E. Ruddock, W. F.

PROTECTION DISTRICT PROJECT REVIVED Recent Overflow of Storm Waters Emphasized Need of Action The probable revival of the old Security Protection District plan was inaugurated Thursday at an impromptu meeting of ranchers located along the Santa Ana river. The meeting resulted in the appointment of a committee and the issuance of a call for another AMERICAN FIRM OPENS IN SICILY Manufacture of Patented Citrus Fruit Products the Object The Citrus Fruit Products Co., an American corporation of Boston, Mass., has established a factory in Palermo for the manufacture of citrus fruit products, writes the United States consul at Palermo, Italy. The factory, which is conducted by two partners of the firm, who are American citizens, began operations during January, 1913, and employs about 100 to 125 persons, men and women being about equally divided in number. They purpose to manufacture, by a secret process, new products from citrus fruits called Concrete Orange, Concrete Lemon, Concrete Mandarin, etc. The products are essences of the fresh fruit in a highly concentrated form and are obtained by a process whereby the freshness and aromatic qualities are retained without deterioration by contact with light or air or from lapse of time. The products have the consistency of a thick paste or jelly. They are intended for the use of manufacturers of confectionery and soda water flavors who desire high-grade "fresh-fruit" flavoring materials. The machinery, consisting chiefly of presses of special construction operated by Westinghouse electric motors, was imported from the United States. It is understood that the enterprise is an experiment, but, if successful, the factory will continue operations on a larger scale and probably offer its product in the principal European markets. It is also intended to install machinery in the near future for the manufacture of citrate of lime. As far as could be ascertained, the product turned out by this factory does not compete with any other citrus fruit products manufactured in Sicily. The question naturally arises why not operate such factories in California? INCOME TAX An interpretation of a section of the income tax law by the commissioner of internal revenue which will result in the saving of thousands of dollars to nearly 2,000 manufacturing establishments in Southern California, was received yesterday by Collector John P. Carter. According to this decision, the amount of premium paid by concerns of this character to insure their employees under the new state liability act will be regarded as a proper deduction in making returns under the federal income tax law. These premiums, therefore, will become part of the exemptions allowed by the government and will be classified as part of the general expense of manufacturing institutions. The state employers' liability law became effective January 1 of this year. The commissioner also holds that damages in excess of insurance sustained by fires, floods, storms and other elements, shall be treated as deductible expense. A separate ruling by the commissioner makes it necessary to mail returns on incomes so that their delivery to the collector will be assured before March 1. Everyday ---the newspapers tell us of someone who has hidden his savings in strange places—only to lose them by fire or theft. ---this can only be attributed to ignorance. PROTECTION DISTRICT PROJECT REVIVED Recent Overflow of Storm Waters Emphasized Need of Action The probable revival of the old Security Protection District plan was inaugurated Thursday at an impromptu meeting of ranchers located along the Santa Ana river. The meeting resulted in the appointment of a committee and the issuance of a call for another and more representative meeting at which definite action is expected. The recent rains, with the resulting overflow of the Santa Ana river, brought to life the need of more efficient protection of property along its banks. About twenty ranch owners were gathered near Olive Thursday inspecting the place where the waters broke out, and it was there that the proposition of a protection district was brought up. With D. P. Crawford acting as the chairman of the meeting, a committee composed of Dr. John Adams, L. C. Flippen, Fr. Miinick and Earl Crawford was appointed to investigate the plan. A meeting was called for next Monday at the Olive school house. The committee will then make their report. The general plan of the ranchers is to form a protection district to include those ranches on the east side of the river. Under the old Security plan, the district covered territory along both sides. The opinion seems to prevail among all of those interested that there is imperative need for some sort of protection, so that action may be looked for at the coming meeting. CALIFORNIA NAMES The names of the towns, streams and physical features of California are derived largely from Spanish sources, a result of the region having been first settled by representatives of that nation. These place-names are principally in honor of various saints or are descriptive of the landscape. Another considerable element of place-names is of Indian origin; these terms usually referring to some physical peculiarity or to some event that took place in the vicinity. A great many places bear the names of pioneers from other portions of the United States, who came after annexation by this country. Still other place-names have simply been transferred from other states. The origin of the various place-names of the state has been traced by the United States Geological Survey, with the assistance of history students within the state. The name California was applied by Hernan Cortez to the bay and country, which he supposed to be an island. The name is that of an island in an old Spanish romance, where a great abundance of precious stones was found. Eight postoffices in the United States bear this name. San Francisco is said by some to have been named for the old Spanish mission of San Francisco de Asis; by others for the founder of the order to is an experiment, but, if successful, the factory will continue operations on a larger scale and probably offer its product in the principal European markets. It is also intended to install machinery in the near future for the manufacture of citrate of lime. As far as could be ascertained, the product turned out by this factory does not compete with any other citrus fruit products manufactured in Sicily. The question naturally arises why not operate such factories in California? ARE RUSHING WORK ON ROADS Orange County Officials Are Putting Forth Special Efforts Having gone beyond the period when lack of building material held back the good roads work, the County Highway Commission is laying plans to rush the completion of paved county highways in this county faster than ever before. Every effort will be used to complete roads leading to beach resorts before the heaviest traffic of next summer begins. The road between Santa Ana and Huntington Beach will be completed within a short time. Within two weeks the ten miles of road between Irvine and Laguna Beach will be ready for contract, and soon after that the road between Seal Beach, joining the Los Angeles good roads, and the Santa Ana-Huntington Beach road will be up for bids. With the Pacific Rock and Gravel Company plant at Azusa rebuilt after destruction by fire, the county can now get plenty of crushed rock, as contracted for, for finishing the surfacing of several miles of concrete base. The county's gravel pit has been repaired since the storm, and is now in operation. While the county is expending $1,270,000 upon its county good roads system and, while the banks of the county have bought $200,000 in state highway bonds in order to get state highway work done in this county, another call has been sent to the county. This time it is a request that the Board of Supervisors buy $200,000 state highway bonds to complete the state road through this county. The $200,000 provided by the banks will build only about half the forty-five miles of state road between the Los Angeles county line, near Whittier, and the San Diego county line below San Juan Capistrano. The contract for building the road north of Santa Ana, twelve miles, was let for $66,900, the state paying for the survey and the cement. The total cost is estimated at $9,500 a mile. At that rate, the $200,000 will build the state road only as far as Irvine. The purchase of $200,000 additional state bonds by Orange county has been put up to the Board of Supervisors, but no action has been taken.

San Francisco is said by some to have been named for the old Spanish mission of San Francisco de Asis; by others for the founder of the order to which Father Junipero, the discoverer of the bay, belonged. Los Angeles is Spanish for "the angels." The original name of Los Angeles was, "La Ciudad de Nuestra Senora, la Reina de Los Angeles"—"The City of Our Lady, the Queen of the Angeles." This was subsequently shortened to Los Angeles. San Diego is a corruption of Saint Iago, the patron saint of Spain, for whom the city was named. Stockton was named for Commodore R. F. Stockton, who participated in the conquest of California. Pasadena is an Indian word meaning "crown of the valley." Pomona was named for the Roman goddess of fruit, from the Latin word pomum, "fruit." San Bernardino was named after an old Spanish mission. Santa Barbara took its name from an old mission also. Bakersfield was called in honor of Col. Thomas Baker. Petaluma is an Indian word signifying "duck pond." San Luis Obispo was named for an old Spanish mission. The full name is San Luis Obispo del Tolosa, and means "Saint Louis, bishop." Santa Ana and Santa Clara were named for Spanish missions. Santa Monica bears the name of a Spanish saint, the mother of Saint Augustine. Kern was named for three brothers, prominent in the early history of the region. Madera is a Spanish word meaning "lumber." The town was an early lumber center. Monterey was named for Count de Monterey, viceroy of Mexico. It is a Spanish term meaning "mountain of the king."

Rumors that the factory would have to close under the new tariff were treated as threats. But there is no longer any doubt about it. The owners say that they cannot make sugar in Iowa under the new competition. It is simply a business proposition with them. There is neither politics nor sentiment in it. They are sorry for the farmers who have had a market for the beets and for the employees, but necessity is more urgent than sorrow. Wholesale sugar prices have declined and will decline more—until all the American factories have been wiped out. After that the foreign Sugar Trust can do as it wants to do with prices. The foreign sugar business is in the hands of an international committee, which constitutes an international trust, called the Brussels convention, which fixes the amounts of sugar that any country may export in one year, the object being not to depress prices too much. This foreign corporation has all the time feared the development of the sugar industry in the United States. This is a great sugar market. In Europe generally there is some form of government aid for sugar growers, subventions of one kind or another. It has always been a hazardous business, requiring large capital, and until the Brussels convention was made effective the outcome was every year uncertain. America, with its high priced labor, cannot compete with government aided sugar plants in Europe. The northern half of Iowa is well adapted to the growing of the sugar beet, one of the best regions for it in the country, according to government analysis. There were at least two additional factories under consideration in this state, one at Clear Lake and the other at Osage, but these projects will be abandoned, and the one at Waverly, as stated in the dispatches will be discontinued. Iowa ought to have a dozen such factories, instead of none, for they diversify agriculture. This morning when it was suggested to Judge West that F. C. Rivera might plead guilty to resisting Officer Germann of Anaheim, Judge West read the transcript of the testimony, and then advised the defendant in effect that the evidence was such that a plea of guilty could hardly be taken with the expectation of securing mercy from the court. Attorney R. Rivera, of Los Angeles, representing the defendant with the same time, then asked for a jury trial, and the case was set for February 17. The Merchants' and Manufacturers' Association of Santa Ana has appointed a committee to try to get the Pacific Electric to reduce the round-trip fare on the Santa Ana-Los Angeles line from $1 to 75 cents.
