FIRE APPARATUS WILL BE SOLD MAY 14 TRUSTEES INSTRUCT CITY SURVEYOR TO ESTABLISH GRADE ON ALLEYS FOR PAVING REPORTS OF OFFICIALS RECEIVED AND MANY BILL ORDERED PAID Bonds in the sum of $7,000 for the purpose of raising funds to purchase a new fire-fighting apparatus, will be offered for sale and sold to the highest bidder on Thursday, May 14. The bonds are forty in number and are for $175 each. They carry 6 per cent interest which is payable semi-annually. One bond is to be redeemed each year, consequently the last one will be liquidated in 1954, unless it is discounted before it becomes due. A resolution inviting sealed proposals for the issue was adopted by the board of trustees Thursday night. Some doubt existed in the mind of Trustee Stark as to the advisability of selling the bonds before a suitable room for housing the engine was prepared, but it was finally decided that unless something better offered, the old equipment could be moved from the city hall and the new auto-propelled machine installed in its place temporarily until the fire house now in contemplation could be erected. The engine and new equipment have already been purchased and when installed Anaheim will have an efficient and up-to-date fire department. About $11,500 is he estimated cost of remodeling the S. Q. R. buildings, recently purchased by the German American Bank. The bank has disposed of the eastern half of the building to J. N. Cranston who will add an upper story and make other changes. The total cost of his rebuilding, according to the permit asked for will be $5,000. The bank also asked permission. Ben Lensing, salary ... 65.00 Robert Inglis, aslary ... 65.00 H.

The plans will be tried from ten of the principal cities, including St. Louis. They embrace gathering from producers information as to articles they will sell at retail and furnishing the same to prospective consumers. The plans are tentative and it is conceded that there are many difficulties that must be met before a scientific system can be put into satisfactory operation. It is gratifying that both private and public agencies are to be directed to the solution of one of the greatest problems of current life. The fact that fruit and vegetables in abundance have gone to waste every season for lack of facilities of exchange has long been known. National conferences on market conditions have been held. But their work has been generally restricted to descriptions of conditions, without tangible plans for relief. Fruit growers have told of shipping choicest fruit to the cities and of later being called upon to send money to pay express charges. Stories of fruit fed to swine and of vegetables rotting in gardens while inhabitants of cities paid fabulous prices for produce are common. Attempts to fix the responsibility for such conditions have been not altogether successful. But the existence of such deplorable conditions has not been a matter of dispute. The postoffice department's hope is to abolish the middle man entirely. This may be possible in handling some articles, but not all. Cold storage is a necessity, with the varying seasons. There must be some way to dispose of unusual crops of perishable produce. Nor is it possible for all produce to be handled by individual consumers in cities of a particular section. The variety of soil and climatic conditions of as large a country as this makes necessary the shipment of some articles thousands of miles. The refrigerator cars and similar devices have been of great benefit to both producer and consumer. But the operation of the present system has not been satisfactory to either producer or consumer. The responsibility for this condition has been shifted from the shoulders of one to another in a confusing manner. But there is no reason why a more efficient propeller machine installed in its place temporarily until the fire house now in contemplation could be erected.

ECHOES FROM ORANGE Orange Happenings Always Interest Our Readers After reading of so many people in our town who have been cured by Doan's Kidney Pills, the question naturally arises: "Is this medicine equally successful in our neighboring towns?" The generous statement of this Orange resident leaves no room for doubt on this point. Mrs. H. Schroeder, 435 S. Orange St., Orange, Cal., says: "I was so bad with kidney complaint that I didn't expect much relief. I had pains all over my body. The action of my kidneys was too frequent. I had severe headaches and felt miserable. I decided to give Doan's Kidney Pills a trial and got a box. I improved after taking the first dose. I got stronger every day and the pains soon stopped. Since then, I have always kept Doan's Kidney Pills on hand. Some years ago I publicly recommended them, and I am pleased to confirm what I said at that time." For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.

SUPERVISORS AID THE ROAD FUND TRANSFERS MONEYS FROM GENERAL FUND TO ANAHEIM AND BUENA PARK DISTRICTS RESOLUTION ADOPTED CREATING BOARD OF FORESTRY FOR ORANGE COUNTY The county auditor was directed by the board of supervisors at Tuesday's session to transfer $100 from the general fund to the Anaheim road district fund, and $200 from the general fund to the Buena Park road district fund. Demands on the county of Orange were allowed as read. The county surveyor was directed to make a survey of the river channel of the Santa Ana river for the Anaheim protection district. The resignation of John Landell as justice of the peace of San Juan township was accepted. The board appointed John Daneri justice of the peace of San Juan township for the unexpired term. The county physician was authorized to purchase instruments for use at the county hospital. The application of Orange County Improvement Association for cancellation of tax sale was denied. The application of Villa Park Orange Growers' Association to lay pipe line across the county road running west from Villa Park station, was granted. The application of John T. Carpenter Water Company to lay pipe line across East Chapman avenue was granted. Deeds for right of way for county roads were accepted from the Union Oil Company and C. L. McComber. The clerk was directed to advertise for sale the El Toro school district bonds, $8,000 issue, bids to be opened sure that all his sheep are within the circle covered by him. Strays are rounded up and herded to the main band. Fuller use of the range is made, since little forage is destroyed by trampling, and the sheep fare better because they are constantly moving through new feed instead of returning to a permanent camp over areas already fed off. Sheepmen formerly believed that the close herding system was necessary to prevent sheep from straying, but the Forest Service experiments show that this is not the case. One band in the Payette forest, in Idaho, which was never camped in the same place two nights and was herded in timber and brush practically the entire summer, lost only four head; and in the majority of cases the loss under the new system was less than the loss under the system of close herding. ANOTHER FREAK LAW Among other proposed laws which will be submitted to the voters of California at the next general election is the initiative eight-hour bill which imposes a heavy fine or imprisonment or both upon an employer of labor who permits an employee to work more than eight hours a day. The law provides that "any employer who shall require or permit, or who shall suffer or permit any overseer, superintendent, foreman, or other agent of such employer to require or permit any person in his employ to work more than eight hours in one day, or more than 48 hours in one week, except in case of extraordinary emergency caused by fire, flood, or danger to life or property, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof shall be fined not less than $50 nor more than $500 or imprisoned in the county jail not less than 10 or more than 90 days, or both so fined and imprisoned." This bill, you will observe, makes three exceptions. Should a man's property be on fire when the 5 o'clock whistle blew he could permit his employees to assist him in extinguishing the flames without incurring the penalties of the law. The same exemption applies to saving his property from flood. Also should an employer's life be in danger from any cause after 5 o'clock an employee may sail in and rescue him and the law magnanimously refrains from fining or imprisoning... The application of Villa Park Orange Growers' Association to lay pipe line across the county road running west from Villa Park station, was granted. The application of John T. Carpenter Water Company to lay pipe line across East Chapman avenue was granted. Deeds for right of way for county roads were accepted from the Union Oil Company and C. L. McComber. The clerk was directed to advertise for sale the El Toro school district bonds, $8,000 issue, bids to be opened April 21, 1914, at 11 A. M. The board appointed J. L. McBride, H. H. Hale, and C. C. Wagner as viewers to view the proposed road prayed for by Thomas B. Welch, et al., of Fullerton road district. The hearing of the petition of W. E. Gunnett, et al., of Anaheim and Fullerton road district, to abandon a highway, was set for May 6, 1914, at 11 A. M. The petition of John W. Crill, et al., of Garden Grove road district, for a county road 40 feet wide, was granted. The Long Beach Consolidated Gas Company was awarded franchise for gas pipe line at Bay City for $100, and the bond accompanying said bid was approved, and ordinance No. 111 granting the franchise was adopted. The hearing of the viewers' report on the petition of A. H. Lyon, et al., was continued to April 21, 1914, at 10 A. M. The hearing of the petition of J. C. Ord, et al., to close road in Westminster road district, was set for April 14, 1914, at 2 P. M. A resolution was adopted creating a county board of forestry, and R. E. Larter, Willard Smith, T. E. Stephenson, A. E. Bennett and A. S. Bradford were appointed as the county board of forestry. The county auditor was directed to transfer $5,000 from the current expense fund to county farm fund. Bids were received for laundry equipment for the county hospital and the matter taken under advisement until April 14, 1914, at 2 P. M. The clerk was directed to advertise for bids for the improvement of East Chapman avenue, bids to be opened April 21, 1914, at 2 P. M. The map of tract No. 3 was accepted as the official plotting of said tract. The board appointed Geo. Gothard, R. E. Larter and J. L. McBride viewers on the road specified in the petition of J. A. Armitage, et al., of Westminster road district. The bid of Star Cement Company of $17,219.44 was accepted for the improvement of Commonwealth avenue, section 2 Orangethorpe, and section 2 Buena Park road. The Huntington Beach road of the Orange county highway system, sections 1 and 2, were accepted. The board adjourned to April 14, 1914, at 2 P. M. W. B. WILLIAMS, Clerk of the Board of Supervisors. BOARD OF FORESTRY The board of supervisors has created a county board of forestry and appointed five members. The new department will have charge of a project to plant This bill, you will observe, makes three exceptions. Should a man's property be on fire when the 5 o'clock whistle blew he could permit his employees to assist him in extinguishing the flames without incurring the penalties of the law. The same exemption applies to saving his property from flood. Also should an employer's life be in danger from any cause after 5 o'clock an employee may sail in and rescue him and the law magnanimously refrains from fining or imprisoning him because he permitted the man to work overtime. That is all the exceptions and concessions. Overtime is prohibited, mutual consent of the employer and employee being of no avail. It applies to all alike—ranchers, fruit growers, cattlemen, manufacturers, merchants and domestic households. Fruit that ripens between 5 P.M. on Saturday and 8 A.M. on Monday must be lost unless new labor is engaged to pick it. Domestic arrangements also are subservient to the law. Ladies who employ a cook must not permit her to light the range for breakfast until the clock strikes 8. Dinner must be over and all household work for the day finished at 5 o'clock. On Sundays there will be no breakfast, luncheon or dinner unless the mistress prepares the meals herself or engages a special cook for that day. Forty-eight hours is a weeks' work under the provisions of this proposed freak law and no exceptions are permitted aside from those mentioned above—the preservation of property from fire or flood, or the rescue of persons from death. This ought to be a bully good law to defeat. DECREASING MEAT SUPPLY Shortage of meat animals in the United States was strikingly demonstrated by comparative figures made public recently by the department of agriculture, showing that there are nine less beef cattle, seven less sheep and three less hogs now for each 100 persons in the country than there was in 1910. This means that it would take 18,259,000 more meat cattle, sheep and swine to give the present population the same supply that the census of 1910 showed to exist. While the population of the country is estimated to have increased from 91,972,000 to 98,646,000 in the past three years, the number of beef cattle has decreased 12.9 per cent, and of sheep 5.2 per cent. The number of swine increased 1.3 per cent, but it did not keep up with the proportional growth of population. In spite of the reduced number it is estimated that the value of the cattle in the country increased from $1,534,-600,000 in 1910 to $1,930,087,000 on January 1. "This increase in value, however," the department's statement pointed out, "does not necessarily mean that farmers or stock raisers are making more if any profit. On the contrary, the cost of production has probably increased more rapidly than the increase in the selling price of live stock. Producers of farm products are the last to receive any benefit from higher prices paid by consumers yet." THE BLANKET SYSTEM OF HERDING SHEEP Experiments in handling sheep under the "open" or "blanket" system of herding, made in eight national forests during the season of 1913, show that the blanket system produces lambs approximately five pounds heavier and increases the carrying capacity of the ranges 10 to 25 per cent. It was found also that loss of sheep on heavily timbered ranges was less under the new method than the loss under the old system of close herding where the sheep are driven back to the same bedding-ground for several nights in succession. The blanket system takes its name from the fact that the herder does not establish a permanent camp to which the sheep are driven every night but packs his blankets with him and beds down the sheep wherever they happen to be when night overtakes them. During the day he moves about outside the band and looks for tracks to make growth of population. In spite of the reduced number it is estimated that the value of the cattle in the country increased from $1,534,600,000 in 1910 to $1,930,087,000 on January 1. “This increase in value, however,” the department’s statement pointed out, “does not necessarily mean that farmers or stock raisers are making more if any profit. On the contrary, the cost of production has probably increased more rapidly than the increase in the selling price of live stock. Producers of farm products are the last to receive any benefit from higher prices paid by consumers, yet they are among the first to increase production if there is a prospect of realizing better returns. “The very fact that there is a present shortage of nearly 19,000,000 meat animals in the United States since the census of 1910 indicates clearly that the business is not profitable to producers.” The scarcity of meat animals is attributed by the department experts to the encroachment of farms upon range territory, lack of a proper range leasing law, shortage in the corn andorage crop in Kansas, Nebraska and Oklahoma, increase in the value of land and higher cost of labor and stock feed, decline in stock rearing on farms in the East and South because of poor marketing facilities, the temptation to sell live stock at prevailing high prices and enormous losses from hog cholera. TABOOED FRUIT Any one who attempts after May 1 to bring into the United States certain Hawaiian fruits, nuts and vegetables will face a penalty of $500 fine or imprisonment for a year, or both. A new order issued by the Department of Agriculture provides this punishment for attempts to violate the quarantine declared in 1912 against Hawaiian products which might introduce into the United States two dangerous pests, the melon fly and the Mediterranean fruit fly. Under the new regulations importations of bananas and pineapples are permitted under stringent conditions of inspection and certification. Practically all other fruits and such vegetables as tomatoes, squashes, green peppers and string beans are absolutely excluded. Circulars are to be distributed on all incoming steamships warning passengers of the quarantine, and the reason for it. The Orange county board of supervisors went down to San Diego last week in a body to inspect arrangements now being made for this county's exhibits at the exposition. The county has contributed to the fund and will have a suitable display. Thursday, April 16 The First National Bank OF ANAHEIM United States Depository for the Postal Savings System Capital, $50,000.
