CALL FOR BIDS FOR OLIVE BRIDGE SUPERVISORS DETERMINE TO BUILD THE STRUCTURE IRRE-SPECTIVE OF PROTECTION OTHER MATTERS CONSIDERED BY THE BOARD AT TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY SESSIONS At the meeting of the board of supervisors Wednesday the county clerk was instructed to advertise bids for the construction of a cement bridge across the Santa Ana at Olive. The bids will be opened September 2. This probably means that the petition for the formation of a storm water district will be granted. That matter will also be heard on that date. The supervisors have declared the bridge would not be built until protection was assured and efforts made to confine the water of the river in its present channel. The board met in regular session. All members and the clerk present. Demands on the county of Orange were allowed as read. The maps of Loma Vista Memorial Park were accepted as the official plotting of said tracts. The supervisor of the 5th district was given permission to spend in excess of $300 for road work in San Juan road district. A resolution was adopted recommending Riverside county for the location of the citrus experimental station to the board of regents of the State University, and J. C. Metzgar was ap- captain in the service of the state will be received at the office of the commission, state capitol, Sacramento, on or before September 5, 1914. The state employs tugboat captains in connection with the board of state harbor commissioners in San Francisco, at a salary of $150 per month. There is now one vacancy to be filled. Candidates must have had at least five years' experience as a tugboat captain, and must hold a license qualifying them to act as captains of steam vessels navigating the waters of the Bay of San Francisco and its tributaries. Application blanks and further information may be secured from the State Civil Service Commission, State Capitol, Sacramento. Applications must be properly executed and filed with the commission on or before September 5, 1914. ANOTHER AMENDMENT The constitutional amendment to save taxpayers from paying for liquor elections except at reasonable intervals, prepared by the Knights of the Royal Arch, met with the approval of the people and over one hundred thousand persons signed the initiative petitions in two weeks. The proposition secured a place on the ballot with names to spare. The amendment provides: 1. That there shall be no more liquor elections of any kind held anywhere in California for eight years (Subdivision First). 2. That any city or supervisorial district which, under present laws, cannot become "license territory" without holding an election, will automatically become "license territory" if it votes against state-wide prohibition. This will not make them "wet" because it will not repeal the dry ordinance. It merely restores the power to repeal it without an election.

A resolution was adopted recommending Riverside county for the location of the citrus experimental station to the board of regents of the State University, and J. C. Metzgar was appointed to represent Orange county before said regents for said location. Bids were received for auto truck, and continued to August 18, 1914, at 11 A.M., for investigation. A deed from the Bayside Land Company was accepted and ordered recorded. Credits were allowed prisoners as recommended by the jailor. The clerk was directed to advertise for bids for the improvement of section 1, Buena Park, and section 2, Anaheim-Stanion-Cypress road, bids to be opened August 18, 1914, at 2 P.M. The clerk was directed to advertise for bids for 20,000 barrels of cement for the highway commission, bids to be opened August 18, 1914, at 2 P.M. The maps of Modjeska Home, sheet B, and sheet C, were accepted as the official plotting of said tracts. The map of Tract No. 14, First Addition to Harper, was accepted as the official plotting of said tract. The clerk was directed to advertise for bids for the construction of the Anaheim-Olive bridge across the Santa Ana river, bids to be opened September 2, 1914, at 3 P.M. The matter of the establishing a county free library was continued to September 2, 1914, at 4 P.M. The clerk was directed to issue fumigating licenses to John A.

This will not make them "wet" because it will not repeal the dry ordinance. It merely restores the power to repeal it without an election. (First part of Subdivision Second.) 3. That any city or supervisorial district which votes in favor of state-wide prohibition shall become "no-license" territory for eight years. It does not make any new wet territory from going dry. It does not repeal, or compel the repeal of any dry ordinance of any kind whatever. It does not compel any one to vote for state-wide prohibition to keep saloons out of the local community. Every voter may vote against state-wide prohibition without making one change in the present wet or dry territory. It does not take the control of the liquor traffic away from the people because it does not take away, or interfere with, any of the police powers delegated by the state constitution to the governing or licensing body of any political subdivision of the state. The one and only object of this amendment is to provide a system whereby all temperance and anti-saloon work may continue but without continually engendering strife and bitter feeling in peaceful communities, without demoralizing other business interests, and without imposing the grievous burden inflicted on the taxpayers by the present system.

STATE NEEDS MORE STENOGRAPHERS Civil Service Examination of Applicants Will Be Held Sept. 5 The California state civil service commission announces a third examination for stenographer and typist, to be held in San Francisco, Los Angeles and Sacramento on September 6, 1914, to provide a register of gibiles from which to make certification to fill vacancies as they may occur in the state service in positions as stenographer and typist, or typist. Entrance salaries of stenographers and typists range from $50 to $100; those of typists from $50 to $75. Stenographers who will work in Sacramento are especially needed. This examination is open to all citizens of the state who are 18 years of age or over on the date of the examination, and who comply with the requirements. Application blanks and further information may be secured from the State Civil Service Commission, State Capitol, Sacramento. Applications must be properly executed and filed with the commission on or before August 31, 1914. The commission announces that applications for employment as tugboat Hopes Entertained That Difficulty Will Soon Be Overcome An epidemic of water trouble in the Fullerton field has been the cause of much careful thought and study of the situation, as well as considerable worry. But in one instance where the water is said to have seriously threatened to spoil a well for the St. Helens Petroleum company, on the Johnson tract, that difficulty has been overcome and a fine well reported to have been finished at over 3200 feet. The well came in last week after much difficult work and is said to be producing something over 1000 barrels daily. Should water troubles be successfully overcome in other wells there may be five or six additional producers within the next few days, as there are at least five that are practically ready to be brought in at almost any time. The St. Helens will begin operations on another well immediately. The Dorsby Oil company, near Fullerton has again cemented its deep well. If this job fails to shut off the water it will be decided that the water is either in the oil sand or so close that the exact location of the stratum cannot be determined. Five packers have been put in within the past ten days. The new cementing job will be almost down to the oil stratum. Considerable oil is showing and the company anticipates a good well. Inasmuch as the Union well 300 feet away had no water trouble to amount to anything, the Doraby people are still confident that they will succeed in their efforts to complete the well. Thursday morning, August 13, at 11 o'clock, the monument to Father Serra at the Mission San Juan Capitán will be unveiled. The monument was donated by the Rev. Father John C. Sullivan, who has lived at the mission for several years.

The phenomenal success of the Buick during the last season has made history in the motor car industry, and a goodly portion of the output of the Buick factory has gone to the Pacific Coast. Comparing the total of 1914 Buicks sold with the selling period of the same year shows that a Buick was sold every 38 minutes for each working day of eight hours during the entire eleven months that the coast agencies were able to fill orders—figures that will attract the eyes of the motor industry to the most prosperous motor market in the world, the Pacific Coast. Of special interest to the motor public is the sweeping reduction in price that affects the entire line. The new prices range from $1010 for the 28 h.p. roadster to $1800 for the new 7-passenger six-cylinder car. The new Buicks come clothed in the latest of Stream Line Bodies. This popular and artistic body design has been refined to the greatest possible degree. Side lamps, which have heretofore been the stumbling block to the designers who have striven to keep unbroken the sweep of the body from the hood to the blunt French curves of the tonneau back, have been eliminated, and dimmers for the headlights take the place of the unsightly side lamps. The joint where the hood and body meet, as well as the doors, with their concealed hinges, are hairy lines in the rich finish of the cars. Engineering skill has taken even more responsibility from the mind of the driver. Automatic spark advance opponent being Charles Curtis of Topeka, a former United States senator. This remarkable reversion of sentiment in Kansas cannot be regarded as otherwise than the death knell of the third party. It shows clearly enough that the people have fairly and accurately gauged the new party and have decided that it is a superfluous third. That thousands of deserters from the republican standard in the state will return to their former allegiance is not doubted. The contest lies between the republicans and the democrats, with the progressive cutting little ice. Republicans everywhere will read the returns from Kansas with gratified eyes. They reveal as indubitably as figures can the passing of the progressive party. What has occurred in Kan- LOSSES IN WAR Of the six great powers involved in the present strife, France has had twenty-five wars, winning twelve and losing thirteen. England and Germany each have had ten wars, winning eight and losing two each. Austria, with fifteen wars, lost ten and won five, while Russia lost her four wars. Italy won three and lost five of her eight wars. MacLaren, authority on war, asserts that the loss of life in battle since authentic history began amounts to 1,400,000,000, or the entire population of the globe for the last 330 years. From 1683 until 1815 the Old World saw sixty-five years of solid warfare, which cost the people $5,945,000,000. Engineering skill has taken even more responsibility from the mind of the driver. Automatic spark advance is a feature of the new models, thus eliminating a puzzling duty for the experienced driver. Control buttons, etc., have been centered on an instrument board convenient to the driver's hand. This instrument board is complete, even to an extension trouble lamp, which may be carried all parts of the car. It may well be said that the most arduous duties of a driver of the new Bulck is to push a button, the car being started, the lights lit, the horn blown, etc., all by this simple method. Over forty distinct improvements are found in the six new Bulck models. Refinement of detail has been carried out to the smallest detail. As an example, such screws that are exposed are copper plated to prevent rust. 45,000 cars will be the output of the Bulck Motor Company for the 1915 season. Despite the fact that the Bulck announcement of their new models, is but a few days old, the immense factory, with its millions of dolalrs' worth of expensive machinery, is fast supplying the entire country with sample cars. Many carloads are already rushing to the Pacific Coast, and many of the new models may be expected on the roads before the year is much older. The most uncertain speculation is that which predicts the next move. Rear Admiral Mahan hazards some observations in this line. He discredited the report of German naval operations on the Baltic solely because they would not be of particular advantage. But with his long experience the admiral should know that in military and naval affairs the unexpected may be expected. At the beginning of the American civil war the West Point graduates always expected the enemy to do the right thing, under the rules of the game. The surprise at the battle of Shiloh was due to this attitude. Colonel Madison Miller of the Eighth Missouri Regiment reported that the Confederate Army was approaching, the vanguard being not over two miles distant. General Sherman, who was in temporary command until the arrival of General Grant at 9 o'clock, agreed with the majority of his staff that this was improbable. That an army would leave a fortified position like Corinth to attack the enemy in the open was preposterous. All the books were against it. But it was this very preposterous thing that really happened, with the shedding of blood that has gone into proverb. Shiloh was a postgraduate war school to many an officer who knew the military books by heart. General Gordon, who led the last charge before Appomattox, used to describe in one of his lectures a war council in General Lee's camp. When one of the staff recommended a move which impressed the rest, General Lee would say: "Grant will expect me to do that. We had better do this." Sometimes events showed that General Grant knew that General Lee was so reasoning and prepared for the unexcuseable sweep of the body from the hood to the blunt French curves of the tonneau back, have been eliminated, and dimmers for the headlights take the place of the unsightly side lamps.

Water War Waging A "mediation" conference has been held between representatives of Riverside and San Bernardino over the impending water war, and San Bernardino will decline the proposal of Riverside and within the next few days submit a counter proposal. In brief, Riverside proposes that it take 500 inches from wells near Anttl., and increase that only as the city of Riverside grows and demands for water increase. San Bernardino's terms for a counter proposal will state that Riverside does not abandon its two sources of water in Riverside, that it take water from this valley exclusively from the Hunt tract, its present source, and that domestic water be defined as for use for household, lawn and garden purposes. and losing two each. Austria, with fifteen wars, lost ten and won five, while Russia lost her four wars. Italy won three and lost five of her eight wars. MacLaren, authority on war, asserts that the loss of life in battle since authentic history began amounts to 1,400,000,000, or the entire population of the globe for the last 330 years. From 1683 until 1815 the Old World saw sixty-five years of solid warfare, which cost the people $5,945,000,000 not counting a debt of $4,000,000,000. Since then the cost of supporting vast armies and navies in time of peace as well as war has been enormous. The total losses of the allies in the Crimean War were 252,600, and of Russia 256,000; the cost to England was $345,000,000, to France $465,000,000, and to Russia $710,000,000. In the Franco-German war 28,000 Germans were killed and 101,000 wounded; 156,000 French soldiers were killed, 143,000 wounded and 720,000 surrendered to the Germans or to neutral states. The most recent war in which any of the great powers has been engaged—the Russian-Japanese conflict—seems to indicate that the losses will be in even greater ratio than the above in the next armed meeting of the powers. In the three-weeks' engagement at Mukden the aggregate loss was 163,000. Pennsylvania Reunion The Pennsylvania Society of Southern California will hold its annual basket picnic Saturday, August 22, at Hollenbeck Park, Los Angeles. Captain John D. Fredericks, who is a Pennsylvanian, and Judge Gavin W. Craig, will be among the speakers. There are over 40,000 Pennsylvanians in and around Los Angeles, and it is expected half of them will be present. A. Nannam and family returned Saturday from San Juan Capistrano. Kansas Returns Republican stock in California receives now impetus by the announcement of the vote at the Kansas primaries, which records fewer than 15,000 progressive ballots against more than 120,000 votes for Roosevelt in 1912, indicating a slump in the third party in the Sunflower state that is irretrievable. At the general election two years ago, Capper, the republican nominee for governor, received 167,509 votes, while Wilson's electoral ticket was given 143,670. Hodges, the democratic nominee for governor, slipped into office by 31 votes. He again is the nominee of his party, with Arthur Capper, the Topeka publisher, his same antagonist, and Henry J. Allen, a newspaper man of Wichita, the "progressive" aspirant. Bristow is defeated for United States senator, his successful graduate war school to many an officer who knew the military books by heart. General Gordon, who led the last charge before Appomattox used to describe in one of his lectures a war council in General Lee's camp. When one of the staff recommended a move which impressed the rest, General Lee would say: "Grant will expect me to do that. We had better do this." Sometimes events showed that General Grant knew that General Lee was so reasoning and prepared for the unexpected. The struggle of great armies follows a struggle of wits. The censorship is strictly maintained to keep the enemy guessing and with the hope of surprising him. With the present censorship in Europe many false rumors will gain currency. Some of them will appear improbable, but none can be accepted or rejected solely on the score of their military probability or improbability. Nor will the relative size of armies or fleets or relative vantage of position be an infallible criterion. There are few things more uncertain that the "vicissitudes of war." Garden Grove people are arranging for a gala day on August 22. The celebration is to be for the purpose of marking the completion of street paving, the completion of the double track of the Pacific Electric and the general prosperity that has prevailed in that section. Crops have been good and prices pleasing, so that the people feel like inviting their friends in for a good time. Joseph R. Knowland, republican candidate for United States senator, has completed a circle of the San Joaquin valley, achieving remarkable success in his tour. Monday he will invade the Napa valley, speaking at Callistoga, St Helena, Yontville Soldiers' Home, the Napa City. Tuesday he will make a tour of the Santa Clara valley, speaking at San Jose in the evening. While the indications point to his nomination, Congressman Knowland has not slackened his campaign in the slightest degree. 1915 BUICK At a Lesser Price For 1915 Buick will Build 45,000 cars!

BRIDE TOO YOUNG SAYS HER DAD But Groom Does Not Appear to Be in Serious Danger Harry William Beauchamp was hailed before Judge Cox at Santa Ana, charged with having committed perjury in swearing that his bride was eighteen years of age, instead of being under the age of sixteen. Beauchamp told a straightforward story to the court and was allowed to go on his own recognizance, in the sum of $1000 ball. Beauchamp tells a story which reads like a romance. It has all the elements of one of the "best sellers" and the characters in the plot recall one of those favorite dramas where the cruel parent, trusting lover and a spirit of revenge hold full sway. The mother of the girl Beauchamp married was present and gave her consent. The bridgegroom had lived at the home of his bride's people for at least two months before he was married, and he saw that the girl he loved was neglected. He was told by her folks that she was eighteen years old, and in this belief swore that she was. Then the father of the girl, made angry because he was told that he could not sponge on his son-in-law any longer, swore out the warrant charging the young man with perjury. Judge Cox was impressed with the truth of the story told by Beauchamp and as the latter holds a fine position in Los Angeles, he allowed him to go, after he had promised that he would be on hand for his preliminary examination August 12. Beauchamp and Marie Consuelo Saunders were married by Judge Cox some time in June. It appears that the girl's father was a long time in making up his mind that the young man had done wrong.
