ONE MAN ON JURY PREVENTS LIFE SENTENCE MEXICAN WHO MURDERED DELBERT WARDLOW GETS 10 YEARS IN SAN QUENTIN WORST PRISONER IN COUNTY JAIL, KEPT IN SOLITARY CONFINEMENT. Epitacio Valenzuela, the Mexican who murdered Delbert Wardlow at Talbert some months ago, was sentenced by Judge West to 10 years in San Quentin penitentiary. The Mexican was convicted of manslaughter, a single juror standing out against conviction of murder in the first degree, which would have given him a life sentence. A stay of execution was ordered on appeal, and Sheriff Ruddock has the man in custody at the county jail. Ruddock says Valenzuela is one of the worst men he has ever had in jail, and for various infractions of jail discipline has been confined in a solitary cell. Valenzuela is a well built Mexican of about 45 years, and took the sentence stolidly. He was first asked by the court for facts concerning his life. The man was born in Mexico and has lived in Orange county several years. "How long have you been in the business of selling booze at Talbert?" asked Judge West. "You need not answer that question unless you want to." Though advised by Attorney Orfila to answer, Valenzuela said nothing. "You are the most fortunate defendant who has ever been in my court, I believe," continued the judge. "The jury would have been perfectly justified in finding you guilty of murder in the first degree. But there was one juror who held out against the others, and saved you from that very serious verdict and condition. I doubt your story of the affair. I have no doubt but that you bought those cartridges, just as was testified to and which you denied. I have no doubt that you killed Delbert Wardlow." "Had the jury brought in a verdict of guilty of murder in the second degree, the least sentence that I should receive. It concedes nothing but the practical point of an issue in which nothing was important, at least to England, except the theoretical point. England would be no worse off under free tolls and will be no better off under uniform tolls, at least as to this class of traffic. What England wanted and what President Wilson demanded was the surrender of the theory of the thing, so as to establish a precedent which would permanently put upon the Hay-Pauncefote treaty and on the rights of England and America under it, a construction exactly contrary to that which this amendment asserts. Since deeds speak louder than mental or even verbal reservations, it would be far better to maintain the law as it is, and thereby establish our right by exercising it, instead of merely asserting it. But if it is within the power of the president to force the repeal of the canal tolls bill, at least this reservation of all the rights of the United States implied in that bill will be important as enabling the next Congress, or the one after, to open the whole question again without having the case concluded against it. POLITICAL NOTES Robert P. Troy, attorney for the State Hotel Men's Association, is expected to announce shortly that he will be an aspirant for the democratic nomination for attorney general. Troy is classed as one of the most eloquent stump speakers in California. He was associated for years with the late Stephen M. White. Congressman "Joe" Knowland is going after that republican senatorial nomination with a vim. He is swinging around the state now setting his candidacy before the people and his managers say that he is getting a long lead over Sam Shortridge. At last Jo. V. Snyder, the Grass Valley newspaper man, has made announcement of his willingness to run for lieutenant governor on the democratic ticket. Snyder, who is third grand vice-president of the Native Sons, has been pondering the matter for several weeks, while his friends have been bringing every argument to bear to get him to say yes. Now he has yielded. Gov. Johnson's sudden calling off of his stumping tour with John Eshleman is variously interpreted. His political enemies say that such an outcry went up over him campaigning on the "office time" that he had to heed it. His friends say that he found matters in such satisfactory shape for the progressives that he considered it needless to continue. Perhaps he thinks it a useless waste of energy.

This farm, which was purchased in accordance with a California statute of 1905, comprises 779 acres of fine alluvial soil. It is situated at Davis, Yolo county. On this farm are grown a variety of products both by dry farming and by irrigation. The investigations on the duty of water are probably unequalled anywhere. There is a most complete collection of devices for measuring water. These are installed so that their actual operation may be seen and understood. Last year there were 63 experimental plats of wheat and 41 plats of barley. The rainfall for the two years ending June 30, 1913, was only 18 3-10 inches. The average yield on these plats without irrigation, was 39 bushels of wheat and 91 bushels of barley. Would it not be worth while not only to learn but to see how this was done? The farm is provided with buildings for instruction in the various phases of agriculture and horticulture including a commercial creamery, stock pavilion, horticulture building, mechanical shops, three dormitories, a dining room, and buildings for horses, dairy cattle, beef cattle, sheep, poultry, and swine. There are 200 head of cattle with the following represented: Holstein-Friesians, Jerseyseys, Guernseys, and Ayrshire among the dairy breeds and Herefords, Short Horns, Aberdeen Angus among the beef breeds. There are the following breeds of sheep: Shropshires, Hampshires, Southdowns. PENSION BOARD CHANGED The doctrine "to the victors belong the spoils," may have been responsible for the removal of the present board of medical examiners in Santa Ana and the appointment of a new set of doctors. That is the first time that a change of administration has cut any figure in the personnel of this board which was organized in 1891, and has held office under six presidents. The board at first composed of Dr. Dryer of Santa Ana, Dr. Hunt of Anaheim and Dr. Wood of Orange. The two former republicans, the latter a democrat. They were, however, selected by the members of the G. A. R. without regard to politics. When Dr. Hunt left the county two years later, Dr. C. D. Ball was appointed. Dr. Cushman succeeded Dr. Wood for the same reason, Dr. Royer following him. Dr. Dryer has served from the beginning. The new board will consist of Dr. Boyd of Santa Ana and Dr. Violett of Garden Grove, democrats, and Dr. Burlew of Santa Ana, progressive. A very small number of applicants now come before this board. Some time ago the matter of resigning and recommending its discontinuance was considered, but feeling it would work a hardship to the old soldiers in the locality, on action was taken. WHITE WITH COTTON FIELDS Of all the sensational developments in the Great Southwest in these marvelous times in which we live, perhaps there is none that has more thrill in it than the development of cotton growing in the Imperial Valley. When the century opened the whole section was a wilderness seldom traversed by white men except trappers and hunters, a district practically unknown to the business world, and its present development is the creation of a few venturesome souls, hardy pioneers as ever operated in the West. These fore-runners of civilization began by clearing the tangled brush off of the country, turning up the rich virgin soil and planting crops of wheat, barley, corn and alfalfa. These crops did marvelously well, and the industry naturally suggested live stock, and then followed the era of dairies, fat cattle and pigs. Then came fruit planting, and this year the shipments of melons from the district will probably be 5,000 carloads. But these are things that can be done in many parts of the country. There is a very small area of the world where cotton can be proSons, has been pondering the matter for several weeks, while his friends have been bringing every argument to bear to get him to say yes.

Water Troubles Settle A solution of the Gerter difficulty seems to a result of the heat state railway comm The farm is provided with buildings for instruction in the various phases of agriculture and horticulture including a commercial creamery, stock pavilion, horticulture building, mechanical shops, three dormitories, a dining room, and buildings for horses, dairy cattle, beef cattle, sheep, poultry, and swine. There are 200 head of cattle with the following represented: Holstein-Friesians, Jerseyys, Guernseys, and Ayrshire among the dairy breeds and Herefords, Short Horns, Aberdeen Angus among the beef breeds. There are the following breeds of sheep: Shropshire, Hampshire, Southdowns, Cotswolds, and Merinos. In the aggregate, there are about 25 specimens. Hog raising is highly developed. The total number of hogs handled each year is about 200, representing the Poland-China, Berkshire, Duroc Jerseys, Tamworth, Chester White, and Large Yorkshire. There are 20 acres of vineyards and 363 varieties of grapes. There are almond, peach, prune, and apricot orchards involving 15 acres. Budding, grafting, pruning, and spraying are all taught by actual practice. The commercial dairy operated in connection with the butter, ice cream, and cheese making laboratories, give most thorough instruction in dairy manufacturing. The total sales of dairy products during the year ending June 30, 1913, amounted to more than $56,000. SURRENDER THEORY The proposed amendment to the canal tolls repeal bill effectively surrenders everything which President Wilson demanded in his message except the bare fact of repeal itself. The amendment unequivocally reserves the right of the United States to exempt American coasting vessels from tolls, and thereby puts once more on the Hay-Pauncefote treaty the legislative construction which it has already ever operated in the West. These fore-runners of civilization began by clearing the tangled brush off of the country, turning up the rich virgin soil and planting crops of wheat, barley, corn and alfalfa. These crops did marvelously well, and the industry naturally suggested live stock, and then followed the era of dairies, fat cattle and pigs. Then came fruit planting, and this year the shipments of melons from the district will probably be 5,000 carloads. But these are things that can be done in many parts of the country. There is a very small area of the world where cotton can be produced to advantage, and of the cotton growing area very little is suitable for the production of the long-staple variety of which the greatest part comes from Egypt. The Imperial Valley will rival the banks of the Nile in the quality of cotton, and more than rival it in the quantity per acre. The cotton crop of this year amounts to a value of $1,400,000, and the value of the industry to the valley includeing machinery is put at $10,000,000. There are twelve ginning plants in the valley, comprising forty-eight gins, and four more to be built this year. The cotton crop is so remunerative that it is estimated that the next season will see from 60,000 to 75,000 acres in cotton producing from $3,000,000 to $4,000,000. One of the newest towns in the valley is Calipatria, and around this baby town 9,000 acres have already been planted to cotton, and this will be increased next year to 15,000. Niland, another new town, is a district where cotton si to be grown, and some estimate that next year the cotton fields of Imperial Valley will cover possibly 85,000 acres. Col. Roosevelt's positive testimony that the democrats have failed to reduce the high cost of living can be corroborated in every household in the land. IN AND ABOUT COUNTY Killed by Trolley Mrs. Cassie J. Bodine, wife of Andrew Bodine, a transfer man of Brawley, was instantly killed at Cordoniz station on the Santa Ana line of the Pacific Electric last Thursday. She and her husband had been near the station looking at a ranch they proposed to buy. While waiting to take a car to return to Los Angeles they stood on the left side of the track and the motorman did not see their signal to stop. Mrs. Bodine tried to get across the tracks to the right side and was struck. Her arms and one leg were broken and her head was crushed. Mrs. Bodine was the mother of 12 children, the oldest of whom is 20 years of age. Taylor on Probation H. R. Taylor, a Los Angeles stock broker, is not to drive an automobile before January 1, 1915. He pleaded guilty to speeding in Santa Ana, and paid a fine of $50. Justice Cox also sentenced him to jail for 30 days, and withheld commitment, with the provision that someone else than Taylor drives Taylor's car. Two weeks ago Taylor was driving his car on North Main street at a high rate of speed. Harold Nelson, who attempted to pass him, veered off the street and knocked over a buttress of the First Congregational church, and Nelson's sister suffered a broken skull. There is a speeding warrant out for Nelson, also. Factory Almost Completed The big plant of the Pacific Oilcloth & Linoleum Company at Huntington Beach, is rapidly nearing completion. The building is now practically completed, except the window lights, which are now being placed in the steel frames. The smoke stack is completed and stands 83 feet in height, being 5 feet square at the base and 4 feet at the top, where the Stars and Stripes are now waving. The transformer house has also been completed and is 20x24 feet, and the Pacific Light & Power Company has installed two big transformers for turning loose about the premises electrical energy equivalent to 100 horses pulling on the traces. The substantialness of the improvement impresses all who have visited the new factory, and indicates that it will be a great factor in the upbuilding of the city. Secretary J. E. Nelson states that the wheels in the new machinery will begin revolving some time about the middle of July. Three carloads of machinery arrived this week and is being installed as site is midway between Anaheim and Alamitos bays and three blocks back from the ocean. The building will be ready for occupancy by the beginning of the fall term. Contracts have been let for the moving of the sand dunes between Seal Beach court and the pavilion on the ocean front. This work will be actively pushed and Seal Way completed as soon as the sand has been removed. Seal Way will form a cement promenade twenty to twenty-five feet wide all the way from Anaheim Bay to Alamitos Bay, a distance of a mile and a half. New Church at Brea Last Sunday the Brea Congregational church took steps to formally incorporate under the laws of the State of California. Seven of the leading business men of the community were elected directors, to have charge of the temporalities of the church for one year. The church is planning for the erection of a house of worship that will be of credit to itself as well as to the town whose best interests it is wished to promote. Making Slow Progress Progress toward getting road matters south of Santa Ana straightened out seems to have been slow, and considerable worry is being undergone here for fear that the state highway commission is not going to get the road between Satna Ana and the San Diego county line paved in time for use during 1915. It is asserted that one thing that is holding the matter back is that the state has been unable to get a deed from the Santa Fe for a strip along its reservation below San Juan Capistrano. DRY AMENDMENT Agitation continues throughout the state regarding the prohibition amendment that is to be voted on by the people of the state of California next November, and the terms in which it is couched are being much discussed. The amendment itself, therefore, will bear reading: The people of the State of California do enact as follows: Article 1 of the Constitution of the State of California is hereby amended by adding thereto two new sections, to be numbered, respectively, Section 26 and Section 27, in the following words: The Candy Shop Next door to Postoffice PURE HOME MADE Get the Sweet Habit KIMBALL & JONES, Props. JUDGE CRAIG AND HIS WATER RIGHTS CLASS Will Visit the Country's Wilds in Pursuit of Knowledge Mr. Rancher do not be alarmed. If you see a band of a hundred men and women alighting from automobiles, and invading your orchards and fields, gazing at an artesian well as though it were a gold mine, they are not from Highlands, but only Judge Gavin Craig and his Water Rights class, from the University of Southern California. Even the law and methods of teaching it progress. Original research and instructing the student by first-had information have become popular and up-to-date as means of imparting knowledge to the scholar from the kindergarten through the grades and the high school. They are used in botany and sociology and medicine and many other higher studies. Why not in the study of law? And yet it is asserted that when Judge Gavin W. Craig took his class in Water Rights and Irrigation Law, into Verdugo Canyon and over the artesian belt near San Fernando, near Los Angeles, this was the first time a class in law, in any law school has been instructed in this way. Judge Craig says: "It was a great success. This year it was an experiment, hereafter I will take each class on several such excursions. In trying cases involving streams and artesian basin and percolating waters, courts find it necessary to view the premises. It is of even more importance that students of these cases should see the physical facts in order to understand the exact application of the law." It is said that one of the young ladies of the company remarked that she had always supposed that a water-shed was a some sort of a raincoat, and on the trip out a young city chap Hartfield's Lights Were Out Justice Cox of the Santa Ana township court explained in detail to B. Hartfield of this city Friday why the justice considers that he is doing a kindness to a man when he fines him for violating the automobile laws. Hartfield was arrested for driving an automobile at night without having his front lights on. He explained that the gas tank had become empty. He had not inspected the tank before starting, and did not know it was in need of attention. "This is a lesson to you to be careful, then," said the justice. "I fine you automobilists for your own good. You ought to see it for your own protection that your lights won't go out. Suppose you had been killed or had killed someone. That is the reason we enforce this law strictly, to keep automobiles from killing people." Hartfield paid $5. "If I have to pay fines just like a citizen, I might as well be a citizen and vote," said Hartfield. He took out his first papers. He was born in Poland, in 1883, and came to this country in 1903. Weak Spot in Law There may be no more prosecutions in this county of persons driving motor vehicles without first having secured from the state an operator's license. The new state automobile law seems to have a weak cog in it, so far as operator's licenses are concerned. At least, it is so asserted in a case at Santa Ana, and the point has been passed up to the superior court for decision. The law has various provisions concerning operators' licenses. Under certain conditions following conviction, a person's license to drive may be taken from him. But nowhere in the law is there anything to show that a license must be taken out. The matter came up when Van Robinson was before Justice Cox on a charge of driving without having an operator's license. His attorney contended that a license is not required. Since Robinson is under 16, the case went to the juvenile court, where a decision will be demanded. Water Troubles Settled A solution of the Garden Grove water difficulty seems to be at hand. As a result of the hearing before the state railway commission, which was now waving. The transformer house has also been completed and is 20x24 feet, and the Pacific Light & Power Company has installed two big transformers for turning loose about the premises electrical energy equivalent to 100 horses pulling on the traces. The substantialness of the improvement impresses all who have visited the new factory, and indicates that it will be a great factor in the upbuilding of the city. Secretary J. E. Nelson states that the wheels in the new machinery will begin revolving some time about the middle of July. Three carloads of machinery arrived this week and is being installed as rapidly as skilled workmen can do it. Agitation continues throughout the state regarding the prohibition amendment that is to be voted on by the people of the state of California next November, and the terms in which it is couched are being much discussed. The amendment itself, therefore, will bear reading: The people of the State of California do enact as follows: Article 1 of the Constitution of the State of California is hereby amended by adding thereto two new sections, to be numbered, respectively, Section 26 and Section 27, in the following words: Section 26. The manufacture, the sale, the giving away, or the transportation from one point within the state to another point within the state, of intoxicating liquor, is prohibited. Any citizen of the state may, in his or her own name, maintain an action of injunction in the county where the violation occurs, to restrain such violation; provided, however, that to any criminal or civil prosecution for violation of this prohibition it shall be a defense if it be shown that the liquor in question was being manufactured, used, sold, given away, or transported, for medicinal, scientific, mechanical or sacramental purposes. The manufacture, sale, giving, or transportation of such liquors for medicinal, scientific, mechanical or sacramental purposes shall be regulated by law. Any person violating any provision of this section shall be fined for a first offense not less than $100, nor more than $1,000, and for a second offense shall be fined not less than $200 nor more than $2,500, and imprisoned in the county jail not less than 30 days, nor more than one year, provided, however, that additional penalties may be imposed by law. Section 27. The transportation into the state of intoxicating liquor, unless it be shown to be for medicinal, scientific, mechanical or sacramental purposes, is prohibited, subject, however, to the laws of the United States relating thereto. Any person violating any provision of this section shall be fined for a first offense not less than $100, nor more than $1,000, and for a second offense shall be fined not less than $200 nor more than $2,500, and imprisoned in the county jail not less than 30 days, nor more than one year; provided, however, that additional penalties may be imposed by law. FOREST NOTES The New York state forest nurseries have a capacity of 28 million young trees a year. Approximately 750 acres of the Oregon national forest were planted with young trees this spring. The state of Pennsylvania celebrates two arbor days each year—one for spring planting and one for the fall—in April and October, respectively. On the Deerlodge national forest in Montana one lookout station has the record of reporting accurately, by distance and direction, a fire that was 60 miles away. Nearly three million young trees are being set out this spring on the national forests of Northern Idaho and Montana. On the St. Joe national forest in way. Judge Craig says: "It was a great success. This year it was an experiment hereafter I will take each class on several such excursions. In trying cases involving streams and artesian basin and percolating waters, courts find it necessary to view the premises. It is of even more importance that students of these cases should see the physical facts in order to understand the exact application of the law." It is said that one of the young ladies of the company remarked that she had always supposed that a water-shed was a some sort of a raincoat, and on the trip out a young city chap asked the judge if he would be apt to find any artesian basins; he said he promised to bring one home to his sweetheart. MEDITERRANEAN FRUIT FLY Anyone 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, under the Plants Quarantine Act, 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. Hitherto the United States has fortunately been free from both the melon fly and the Mediterranean fruit fly. The latter in particular has proved a source of great loss, practically putting an end to the fruit industry wherever it has obtained a good foothold. The Bermuda peach crop, for instance, is now a thing of the past. The fly is believed to have originated on the west coast of Africa, its name being due to the great damage it did after it had been carried to the Mediterranean. It also spread to Bermuda, South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand, whence it was carried in ships' cargoes to Hawaii. In all probability the fly would be in California today if it were not for the fact that no fruit is grown in the immediate vicinity of San Francisco. MOTHER'S HELPERS Mother had a hard headache and had gone upstairs to lie down. The children were in the sitting-room talking it over. "I am so sorry for mother," sighed Marjory. "So am I," said Teddy. "How sorry are you?" asked David. "I am so sorry for her that I am going to fill the wood-box as full as it will hold, and get a lot of kindling, and start the fire for supper." "Oh," said Marjory,"now I see what you mean. I am so sorry that I am going to ask her to let me get supper. I can make toast and tea, and scramble eggs." "I'll help set the table and wipe the dishes," said Teddy. So mother got a Water Troubles Settled A solution of the Garden Grove water difficulty seems to be at hand. As a result of the hearing before the state railway commission, which was represented by Commissioner Phelan, a plan has been put on foot to consolidate the three companies now doing business. Each of the old companies would, under the plan, take stock in the new company for their domestic water equipment at a valuation to be set by the state commission. It would be necessary, in addition to sell stock enough to raise funds to complete the new plant. The total capital stock would be $15,000. The new plan calls for six and four-inch mains along the principal streets, and a tank holding 20,000 gallons. The Elliott Company has applied to the county for a franchise, which would be taken over by the new company. Improvements at Seal Beach Contracts have just been let for the erection of a brick and concrete school building of four rooms at Seal Beach. The building will cost $7,000 and with playgrounds and tennis court and outside improvements together with the cost of the land will represent a total investment of about $20,000. The work on the new school will begin immediately. The school will be erected between Eleventh and Twelfth streets and will face on North avenue, the location being almost in the exact center of the Seal Beach school district. The approximately 750 acres of the Oregon national forest were planted with young trees this spring. The state of Pennsylvania celebrates two arbor days each year—one for spring planting and one for the fall—in April and October, respectively. On the Deerlodge national forest in Montana one lookout station has the record of reporting accurately, by distance and direction, a fire that was 60 miles away. Nearly three million young trees are being set out this spring on the national forests of Northern Idaho and Montana. On the St. Joe national forest in Idaho three thousand acres will be planted. Ranchers within and adjacent to the Sierra national forest, California, have formed a co-operative association for the prevention of forest fires. They need to use fire in clearing land for farming, and will do it on a community basis, with all members present to prevent the fires' spread. FIRE PRECAUTIONS "Be sure your match is out. Break it in two before you throw it away." The forest service has thus amended rule one of the familiar "Six Rules for the Prevention of Fire in the Mountains," believing that in this form it will remind inexperienced campers to pinch out the glowing stems of their matches, as mountaineers instinctively do. Cards, vest pocket size, bearing the six rules on one side and the state game laws on the other, are now being distributed by forest officers. One reason offered for Huerta's refusal to resign is that his resignation would mean the political and financial ruin of his friends and that some of them would assassinate him, that being the loving custom of the country. Commencement exercises of the University of Southern California were held today (Thursday) in Temple Auditorium, Los Angeles. Bishop William M. Bell, D. D., of Los Angeles delivered the address, and President George F. Bovard conferred degrees and honors upon upwards of 400 graduates. Among those awarded the baccalaureate degree were Florence Beatrice Day and Reuben Louis Spaeth of Anaheim. Justice Cox ordered F. O. Dudgen held to answer for trial in the superior court on a charge of practicing dentistry without first having secured a license. It was shown by evidence that Dudgen had filled teeth for a little girl at Brea. Pending his trial on high misdemeanor charge, Dudgen is out on $100 ball. Deputy District Attorney Eden stated that the case might be dismissed, as Dudgen expects to take the state examinations soon, and if he passes them the prosecution may not proceed further against him.
