REPORT OF MEETING OF WATER BOARD Gist of Business Transacted at Saturday's Session A regular meeting of the board of directors of the A. U. W. Co., was held on the above date with all members present. Minutes of the last regular meeting were read and approved. Superintendent reported he had given Geo. Kellogg a permit to construct a temporary pipe line across the Company's right of way. On motion of McFadden seconded by Hale the question of a connection for Mr. H. Federer was referred to the Superintendent. On motion of Hale seconded by Dwyer the Superintendent was instructed to purchase a good leather belt for small well at Plant No. 3. On motion of Hale seconded by McFadden the application of Arthur Staley et al for a pipe line at Yorba Linda was granted. A communication from E. E. Keech in regard to insurance rates for employees was received and filed. The report of the Amalgamated Oil Company for the month of July was received and filed. their goods on the shelves shows that prosperous conditions prevail. "The crop situation in the county this year is better than it ever has been," continued Sleeper. "The beet crop and the bean crop particularly, are splendid. Of course, walnuts will be somewhat short this year, and the grain crop has not been up to the standard. Nevertheless, the quality and quantity of the remaining crops are such as to assure a splendid year." "Improvements are going on everywhere in the county. Buildings are being erected in all sections. That prosperity reigns in this county is proven by the vast amount of paving being done. There has been more street and highway improvement done in the past year than in any one previous year." "I was particularly impressed with the many acres of young orchards which have been set out in the past two or three years. I venture to say that within the next year or two more than 5000 acres of trees set out recently will come into bearing." "Labor conditions in Orange county this year have been better than ever before. There has been no surplus of labor so far. There has been work for all who wanted it." "Orange county people have the best of reasons to feel optimistic. This is the 'best little county in the world'."

PROSPEROUS ORANGE COUNTY "Orange county, from a standpoint of genuine progress and development, is one of the best counties in the state," said County Assessor Sleeper Friday. "I have had occasion in the last week or ten days to visit a great many of the cities in the county and everywhere I found things looking prosperous and flourishing." Sleeper's duties as assessor bring him into closer touch with actual conditions than perhaps any other man in the county. He stated that he was especially impressed with the neat, well-kept and thrifty appearance of the stocks of goods in the stores throughout the county. "I was actually surprised in some instances at the modern and business-like appearance that I found in even the stores in some of the smaller towns. Tastefully arranged stocks of goods were to be expected in the larger towns, but I found that the same conditions prevailed in Tustin, Garden Grove and other smaller places. The fact that the storekeepers are giving attention to the appearance of the many acres of young orchards which have been set out in the past two or three years. I venture to say that within the next year or two more than 5000 acres of trees set out recently will come into bearing. "Labor conditions in Orange county this year have been better than ever before. There has been no surplus of labor so far. There has been work for all who wanted it. "Orange county people have the best of reasons to feel optimistic. This is the 'best little county in the world'." WAR PREVAILS IN ORANGE COUNTY Bean Growers and Threshers Dispute Over Scale of Prices The harvest of the greatest bean crop Orange county ever had begun this week, and with it comes a war between ranchers and threshers over the price of threshing. Up to last year the usual price paid threshers was 25 cents per 100 pounds. Last year there was a short crop and by consent of the ranchers the threshers got 30 cents. The threshers do not want to go back to the old price and the growers are up in arms. The ranchers say that the crop is the heaviest in the history of the industry, and at 25 cents the threshers will make a great killing. There are nine threshing outfits, and all of the big ones seem disposed to hold out for 30 cents. The cutting of blackeyes was started last week. The blackeyes are less than one-fifth of the acreage set to beans, there being 21,000 acres to limas and 4000 to blackeyes in the county. Of that acreage, 21,000 is on the holdings of the Irvine Campany, farmed on leases. The vast fields on the Irvine ranch constitute the largest bean patch in the world no such acreage being found on the holdings of any other man or corporation in the world. The warm spell has hastened the maturity of the limas, and Monday some of the ranchers began cutting the vines and piling them to await hauling to the threshers. Cool days and plenty of dew and fog have made the growing season the best the bean... STOOD FOR HOME INTERESTS AT CAPITAL KNOWLAND FOUGHT FOR REPEAL OF FREE TOLLS THROUGH CANAL FOR COASTWISE SHIPS STOOD FOR PROTECTIVE TARIFF ON CITRUS FRUITS, WALNUTS AND OTHER PRODUCTS The most important office within the gift of the people of any state is that of United States Senator. He represents his state in the upper house at Washington, and the best timber within its borders should be selected for this high office. He should be a man capable of coping with the most brilliant men in the nation, as the senate is composed of America's greatest statesmen. Among the candidates for this high office in California Joseph R. Knowland of Alameda, looms above all others. In addition to his natural abilities Mr. Knowland has served ten years in the lower house at Washington, therefore he is familiar with the work. Mr. Knowland is one of the brightest men in Congress. He is recognized as the able man in the lower house from the Pacific Coast, and his heroic fight in defense of California's industries when the Underwood Tariff bill was under discussion won him a national reputation. Although representing but one district he is loyal to California and is battling to preserve her industries from San Diego to Siskiyou. In choosing men for office voters are presumed to select those who can best serve their inter- prostrate horse between the shafts, near the railroad and Second street. Curiosity sent Newman to the vehicle and he raised a corner of the canvas covering and peered beneath. The canvass was jerked from his fingers, but not before he had seen a human head beneath it. He gave a strong pull at the covering, and it disclosed not one but two Chinamen, snugly lying on their backs in the wagon box. The men were at once taken into custody, and the officers telephoned for. When the men arrived at the jail they were entered on the books as Wong Ta Kee and Fong Sing. Fong could talk a little English, just enough to tell his captors that he "workee Charlie on lanchee." That was the extent of his English vocabulary. Immigration Officer Oscar F. Miller was at once communicated with and came to the jail. The men will be taken to Los Angeles. The wagon was well fitted up for the purpose to which it was put. It would require a very careful search to tell that it was not a camping outfit. There was a stove in the rear of the vehicle, the men had blankets, pillows and food in the wagon box. The only thing which prevented the attempt from being a success was the fact that the horse had been overdriven and fell exhausted. Officer Cravath killed the animal. The attempt to smuggle the men had evidently started in San Diego, as there was every indication that the team had been driven from that direction. The driver was a white man, and the police have a description of him, and are searching for him through the city. He was a stranger. HEAVY INCREASE IN REGISTRATION Will be Five Thousand Greater Than Two Year Ago. By November the registration in Orange county will reach 23,000. As already announced, the registration for the August 25 primaries is 21,079, and the combing for votes previous to the November election will probably bring out 2000 more persons not now on the great register. Possibly that estimate is too high, but several persons who are well informed on registration figures are of the opinion that at least 2000 more will be put on for the November election. One ele- eat men in Congress. He is recognized as the ablest man in the lower house from the Pacific Coast, and his heroic fight in defense of California's industries when the Underwood Tariff bill was under discussion won him a national reputation. Although representing but one district he is loyal to California and is battling to preserve her industries from San Diego to Siskiyou. In choosing men for office voters are presumed to select those who can best serve their interests irrespective of personal feeling. This is especially true in the selection of the people's representatives at Washington. During this campaign no man has been able to impung his ability, his integrity or his loyalty, or give any reason why he should be defeated. He should be passed on to the upper house where his brilliant qualities will make him a power for the industries of his state. He is familiar with the needs of California and is capable of advocating them in a convincing manner. A vote against Knowland is a vote against your own interests. A large and enthusiastic audience of Republicans met at Los Angeles last week and organized the Knowland Senatorial Club, for the purpose of boosting Mr. Knowland's candidacy. The following resolutions were passed: WHEREAS, it being the purpose of the Knowland Spinorial Club of Southern California to assist in the selection by the people of this state, a candidate for the United States Senate, a man of high character and ability and who is well qualified and who will render the most beneficial service to California and to the Nation. AND WHEREAS, the Hon. Joseph R. Knowland is a candidate possessing these requisites by reason of his experience in the legislature of California and in the Congress of the United States. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Knowland Senatorial Club of Southern California does endorse the candidacy of the Hon. Joseph R. Knowland for United States Senate, and does recommend his election to the people of California. Since leaving San Francisco last Wednesday on his tour through the San Joaquin valley Congressman Knowland has been well received everywhere. In his speeches the points which received the greatest applause were those of his fight for free tolls for American ships through the Panama canal and his fight to close the canal against railroad-owned ships, thus insuring the canal being a competition of the transcontinental railroads; his support of river and harbor projects and the scoring of the Democratic tariff policy which has hurt California industries. At all points reached Knowland has found strong sentiment in favor of his candidacy and the Fresno most present time just one year after the work was undertaken, the more important field work has been all but completed and the manuscript for the finished report will be in the hands of the printer in the near future. No work so complete in its scope has ever before been attempted in California. Mining engineers of ability, acting as field assistants to the State Mineralogist, were assigned to particular sections of the State and they have personally visited every property in their district and made reports on same. The subject of petroleum has been handled as a unit and a separate corps of engineers is now engaged in completing a report which will embody the results of their investigations. This work will be published in a volume by itself but will in reality be a portion of the general report. Although not yet completed, the work of the state mining bureau during the past year has revealed the fact that the mineral industry, in practically all its branches, is in a most flourishing and prosperous condition. During a year which has been known as one of general financial depression throughout the country, the mineral industry of California has increased, in value of its output, approximately $100,000,000. Prices of metals and mineral substances have been low, yet stockholders in companies engaged in producing mineral substances in the Knowland has been well received everywhere. In his speeches the points which received the greatest applause were those of his fight for free tolls for American ships through the Panama canal and his fight to close the canal against railroad-owned ships, thus insuring the canal being a competition of the transcontinental railroads; his support of river and harbor projects and the scoring of the Democratic tariff policy which has hurt California industries. At all points reached Knowland has found strong sentiment in favor of his candidacy, and the Fresno meeting was a fitting climax to the first part of his valley trip. Reports received from Los Angeles headquarters, indicate that his strength has increased fully fifty per cent since the completion of the southland campaign tour he recently made. San Diego county, once a Spreckels' stronghold, is rapidly coming to the Knowland standard, according to a wire received the other day from Sheriff Fred Jennings of San Diego county, one of the best known officials of Southern California. Congressman Knowland's trip through the citrus fruit and beet sugar district greatly added to his strength. His principal campaign argument is his public record of the past seventeen years, seven years of which were spent in the State Legislature and the balance in Congress. His one promise is a continuation of this clean conscientious record when sent to the Senate. Industry here has experienced. A number of the ranchers contracted to sell their blackoyes at $3.75 per 100 pounds and their limas at $4.75, which are fair prices, before the war boosted prices. Beans are now bringing as high as $8 and $9. CONTRABAND CHINKS FALL INTO NET Santa Ana Officers Capture Two Unfortunate Stoways A pair of Celestials were captured Monday in the early hours of the morning, by Pete Newman, one of the city's employees on the Fire Department. Newman noticed a wagon, with aAdditional importance attaches to the announcement as it contained the first intimation that he Sudebaker corporation has added to its line two new body types—a five passenger six and a three passenger four roader. The new three passenger roader is the most striking departure from the conventional motor car design. The body is unusually wide, seating three persons comfortably. That part of the seat reserved for the driver projects forward about four inches. The rear deck, which is covered with aluminum, provides plenty of space for a trunk or other baggage. Without increasing the bore or stroke of either the four or six cylinder motor Sudebaker engineers have practically added about 15 per cent to the power of each. This was done by reducing the weight of the cars without sacrificing strength, and by the use of larger valves, an improved exhaust manifold, concentric piston rings and lighter pistons and connecting rods. Timklin bearings and a full floating rear axle continue as prominent factors in Studebaker construction. All models now carry crowned fenders and oversize tires, with safety treads in the rear. RAPID PROGRESS BY MINING BUREAU State Mineralogist Compiling Valuable Information for Public On August first 1913, State Mineralogist F. McN. Hamilton inaugurated the preliminary work upon a report which will cover all phases of the mineral industry in California. To cover an area of over 150,000 square miles, which is producing 40-odd mineral substances with an annual value of $100,000,000, and to gather detailed information both concerning operating properties and undeveloped resources, is a task requiring an enormous amount of painstaking labor. At theAlthough not yet completed, the work of the state mining bureau during the past year has revealed the fact that the mineral industry, in practically all its branches, is in a most flourishing and prosperous condition. During a year which has been known as one of general financial depression throughout the country, the mineral industry of California has increased, in value of its output, approximately $10,000,000. Prices of metals and other mineral substances have been low, yet stockholders in companies engaged in producing mineral substances in the state were paid $20,000,000 in dividends during the year 1913. Transportation and other facilities are gradually being extended into the more inaccessible regions of the state, and with each such advance scores of hitherto undeveloped mineral deposits are rendered available for exploitation and possible production. A limited demand has retarded development of many of the industrial materials but the growth of California in population and as a manufacturing center is raising that barrier; and a reduction of freight rates to the East, which will undoubtedly take effect with the opening of the Panama Canal will give UNION GAS More Miles Per Gallon POWER UNIFORMITY CLEANLINESS NOT A MIXTURE OTOREZE" for Motor Cars The AUTO OIL with an Unequaled Record--Stands Perfect and Efficient Lubrication With MINIMUM COST D LINE BRAND GREASES Best for the Transmission and PERFECT AND EFFICIENT LUBRICATION WITH MINIMUM COST D LINE BRAND GREASES Best for the Transmission and Differential of Every Car ERY THING IN OILS AND GREASES UNION OIL COMPANY OF CALIFORNIA m.

California is still a new country. Its mineral industry is the largest single factor in the development of the state, and is one which will hold pre-eminence for many years to come. Opportunity, for both the prospector and for capital seeking investment, exists throughout the state, and it is the purpose of the State Mining Bureau to promote the interests of the mineral industry in all possible ways. Other valuable publications, aside from the one mentioned above, are available for distribution, and general information of any kind will be gladly given at all times to all inquiries received at the ry Building, San Francisco, Cal. IN DRY SANTA ANA City Marshall Jerigan of Santa Ana has an extremely effective system of surveillance over the swarthy residents of "Sonora Town," in the vicinity of the Santa Fe tracks. By this system Jerigan is able to keep close tab on the situation at all times. No sooner does the occasional riot 'break loose" than police headquarters are notified and officers arrive on the scene and make short work of quenching the revolution before any great damage is done. baloo to a stop. Gonzales and Ortez were arrested on a charge of carrying concealed weapons. Jose Gomez proved somewhat shrewder than his two dusky-hued countrymen; he succeeded in "ditching" his revolver and a knife of terrifying proportions before the officers could get to him. WILLIAMS FOR COUNTY CLERK Vote for W. B. Williams for county Clerk. He has been unable to leave his office during this entire campaign, having been kept at work night and day, Sundays included, by the tremendous amount of work heaped upon him. While other candidates have been out campaigning for months, he has been unable to leave his office. An incompetent man in his place would be a public calamity. Vote for Williams and retain in office the most efficient county clerk ever in the employ of the county. Motorcycle Officer Roy Davenport bumped heads with a yearling colt Friday night.

Vote for Williams and retain in office the most efficient county clerk ever in the employ of the county. Motorcycle Officer Roy Davenport bumped heads with a yearling colt Friday night. The colt came of without a scratch. Davenport not only has a large piece of skin missing from his right cheek, but his head feels as if it had been hammered. Davenport was riding his machine near Greenville when a colt jumped out into the road from beside R. L. Tedford's wagon. The motorcycle was wrecked against a bridge. Davenport has sworn to a complaint charging Tedford with driving a vehicle at night without a light.
