WANT SPEEDIER WORK ON THE HIGHWAY ASSOCIATED CHAMBERS ASK SUPERVISORS TO HIRE MAN TO ASSIST IN SECURING RIGHT-OF WAY ALSO ENDORSES FREE COUNTY LIBRARY PLAN AND RECOMMENDS ITS ESTABLISHMENT Orange county's supervisors will employ a man to assist in securing right of way for the state highway through the county from Santa Ana south. At least that is what the Associated Chambers of Commerce recommended at the Garden Grove meeting Wednesday night and it is probable the board will view the matter in the same light. Discussion followed a summary of the work of highway building in this county by S. H. Finley, chief engineer of the County Highway Commission. Armitage reviewed some of the statements made by N. D. Darlington at the Buena Park meeting a month previously, and recommended that a competent man be engaged to expidite the work of securing right of way. "At that time Darlington told us," said Armitage, "That there was not the slightest hitch in regard to securing rights of way for the state highway south of Santa Ana to the county line. According to Darlington, there would not be the slightest difficulty in immediately getting things under way. But the fact of the matter is that nothing has been done. We are now no closer toward getting that road completed by 1915 than we were six months ago. The one thing we want in Orange county now is to have that road finished. We've got to have a man on the job to further the county's interests. If this man costs us two or three hundred dollars a month it would be money well spent if the man accomplished his purpose so that band of Cholos were the ones who perpetrated the theft. Several suspicious people of that race have been hanging about in the vicinity of El Toro, and they are thought to have been the ones who did the stealing. The Spradlin store at Bolsa was entered the same night, and the thieves succeeded in getting away with merchandise of various kinds, the total value of which has not yet been determined by D. W. Spradlin, the proprietor of the store, but which will run well up to three hundred dollars, at least. Entrance was affected by breaking a window in the rear, and then opening the back door through which the goods were taken and loaded into some sort of conveyance to be carried away. This is the fourth or fifth time this store has been robbed. Strange to say these breaks have nearly all been made on a Thursday night, when thieves apparently know that Mr. Spradlin, who is a Past Noble Grand of the Odd Fellows, may be at the meeting of that order in Santa Ana. The goods taken consisted of various kinds of merchandise, such as is usually found in a country store doing the large business that Spradlin did. Shoes, clothing, dry goods of different weaves, tobacco, cigars, some small amount of money, etc., were taken. Enough was secured to stock a small store. TIME. SHORTENED TO LESS THAN HALF First Ship From Pacific Through Canal Makes Double Profit The Plelades, the first ship to carry a load from the Pacific to the Atlantic through the Panama canal was given an ovation on running into New York Thursday. She carried a 5000 ton cargo from San Francisco. Her profit on this trip is just double that of former voyages. The opening of the canal to commerce means that the earning capacity of the Plelades and vessels of her kind has been doubled. The length of the voyage has been halved, operating expenses have been cut down 50 per cent and she can make two trips where formerly she made one. The tolls exacted by the government for the job of lifting and lowering... highway south of Santa Ana to the county line. According to Darlington, there would not be the slightest difficulty in immediately getting things under way. But the fact of the matter is that nothing has been done...We are now no closer toward getting that road completed by 1915 than we were six months ago. The one thing we want in Orange county now is to have that road finished. We've got to have a man on the job to further the county's interests. If this man costs us two or three hundred dollars a month it would be money well spent if the man accomplished his purpose so that the road will be completed early in 1915. Those who spoke following Armitage's talk were unanimous in concurring that the trouble lay entirely with the State Highway Commission. Armitage's motion carried unanimously. N. Le Marquand stated that he believed that a 15-foot road was not wide enough for the state highway south of Santa Ana. Others who then spoke agreed with Le Marquand but the consensus of opinion was that it would be an extremely difficult matter to get the State Commission to put in wider paving. The free county library proposition for which Miss Harriet Eddy, representative of the state government has been working for some months, was endorsed and the supervisors requested to establish it. It was evident at the Buena Park meeting that the chambers favored the plan, but Chairman Armitage of the committee asked for a month's delay before making a report. In making his recommendation he said: "In regard to the question of graft I thought that the matter of contracting might offer chances for graft but I find that no contracts are made. All books for the state are bought in the open market. Some counties have used the contract system, I find, but they are now using the free library system as provided for in Section 2 of the state law providing for free libraries. "The committee recommends that the supervisors establish a library and that the library be established under Section 2 of the statutes. Under the contract system the books would not belong to the county but under the free library system they would. If outside cities want libraries established outside cities are taxed and not the larger cities." The committee having in charge the matter of lighting the paved highways was not ready to report and asked further delay. The committee reported satisfactory progress in its work. AUTO REGISTRATION IN CALIFORNIA Orange County Leads With the Exception of Los Angeles and San Diego Alpine county has two automobiles, no motorcycles, no chauffeurs, and no dealers in automobile supplies. Los The opening of the canal to commerce means that the earning capacity of the Plelades and vessels of her kind has been doubled. The length of the voyage has been halved, operating expenses have been cut down 50 per cent and can she make two trips where formerly she made one. The tolls exacted by the government for the job of lifting and lowering the steamer and her burden through the locks on the Isthmus have not yet been decided, but whatever they are the Plelades' owners are satisfied that there will be plenty of profit left. Captain N. W. Liberoth declared that the passage through the canal was easier than getting his ship in drydock and that the Plelades went through from Balboa to Colon in eight hours. "In the old days a freighter would take from sixty-five to seventy days steaming from San Francisco to New York by way of Cape Horn," he said "and on such a long voyage a lot of time would be wasted in coaling. "This trip took thirty days and as we burn oil we had sufficient for the whole trip. We shall now be able to get back to San Francisco again by the time that we would have been arriving at New York on the trip around the Horn. "This means that the ship can earn twice as much and that instead of building new vessels shipowners will be able to increase their services with their present tonnage. It will be easier to get crews, too, for the shorter runs." NEW CANNERY The next ten days will see the opening of an important industry in this section, the announcement having been made that the Villa Park canery will be in operation within that period. The caninery will be operated under the direction of the Orange County Vegetable Growers' Association, and will employ, when in operation, from 10 to 12 people. Buildings are now being completed and placed in readiness for beginning operations. The manufacture of catsup and chill sauce from tomatoes and peppers; various relishes from peppers, celery and other vegetables; the canning of beans in 5-gallon cans; the making of jellies from lequats and other fruits—these, in proper season, will occupy the factory workers and make a long canning season. The canning of beans will be carried on when prices on the fresh produce are not satisfactory. The 5-gallon cans are easily disposed of to cateriasis. The fruits and vegetables canned will represent the best in quality and will be handled in most sanitary manner since the asso- Judge Ingskip and Dr French's hands, high school grounds and served it on Stu field has a wife and asked the officer to his home to tell him talking to his wife he would leave in the kitchen and stepped in that followed him, but on Stubblefield going to door.

The co AUTO REGISTRATION IN CALIFORNIA Orange County Leads With the Exception of Los Angeles and San Diego Alpine county has two automobiles, no motorcycles, no chauffeurs, and no dealers in automobile supplies. Los Angeles has 35,132 automobiles, more than a third of the tSate's registration, according to the first report of the Department of Engineering, which was made Friday. There are 102,148 automobiles registered in California. The report shows the number of automobiles registered in each county, together with the number of motorcycles, chauffeurs and dealers. On the number of autos is apportioned among the counties one-half the motor vehicle tax for road maintenance. San Francisco is next to Los Angeles in the number of automobile registration, having 9955. Alameda is third with 7091. Other Southern California counties report the following: Motor-ChaufCounty— Autos, cycles feurs Imperial — 1,270 91 126 Orange — 3,138 680 174 Riverside — 1,743 646 106 San Bernardino — 2,686 854 293 San Diego — 4,713 863 668 Santa Barbara — 1,486 251 214 Ventura — 1,201 160 69 TWO BURGLARIES IN ONE NIGHT Stores at Bolsa and El Toro Entered And Many Articles Taken The burglar appears to have deserted this section of the county. He is now operating in the south. On Thursday night two burglars were committed, one at Bolsa and the other at El Toro. At the later place, E. L. Beckwith, proprietor of the El Toro market, was the victim. He lost $20 in cash besides a quantity of goods the value of which he cannot reckon. It is supposed that members of a chill sauce from tomatoes and peppers; various relishes from peppers, celery and other vegetables; the canning of beans in 5-gallon cans; the making of jellies from loquats and other fruits—these, in proper season, will occupy the factory workers and make a long canning season. The canning of beans will be carried on when prices on the fresh produce are not satisfactory. The 5-gallon cans are easily disposed of to cafeterias. The fruits and vegetables canned will represent the best in quality and will be handled in the most sanitary manner, since the association hopes to build up a reputation of high quality products. The goods will be marketed under the brand of "Vila Park Cannery, Orange County Vegetable Association." The association has rented the old orange packing house and will move the building which they at present occupy alongside it. The new cannery building will also be near, making a group of three good-sized buildings occupied by the association. About 800 acres in the district have been planted to vegetables, including peas, beans, peppers and egg plant. This planting required a car load of seed, mostly imported from abroad, but some coming from the northern part of the state. It is expected that during the busy season in winter vegetables, from seven to nine car loads of vegetables per day will be shipped by the association. FARM LABOR WAGES California pays the highest wages for farm labor of any state in the Union, and her farm laborers work on an average of 9 hours and 42 minutes per day, according to a report which has just been issued by the U.S. department of agriculture. The monthly compensation is $35.10 with board and $60.70 if the laborer boards himself. These figures relate to the year 1913. The average wage for farm labor in Continental United States is $13.85 per month with board and $19.97 without board. Eighty-five thousand laborers are employed on the California farms. A. Nagel and family are spending the week at Long Beach. Disagreeable Disputes As a result of anton Saturday evening superintendent for Company is in a hot he discharged C.

ANAHEIM GAZETTE IN AND ABOUT COUNTY Struck by Train. Fred Gerken of Santa Ana, in an auto, har a narrow escape recently. He attempted to cross in front of a Santa Fe freight train, but decided he could not make it. He set his brakes and stopped his machine. The engine threw the automobile to one side, smashing a wheel and breaking an axle of the auto. Gerken was not thrown from his seat. Fullerton Seeing Things. Prospect of locating a glass factory in or near Fullerton seems to be very good at present, but it is unlikely that any definite steps will be taken in the matter for some weeks or months yet. The proposition is under consideration by the Chamber of Commerce in correspondence with officers of the company proposing to build the plant. A site of several acres will be offered them and their acceptance appears probable from the condition of negotiations at present. The matter was discussed briefly at the chamber's monthly meeting in the city hall Thursday evening, but there was no further action than has already been taken, leaving the plans in charge of the officers who are keeping in touch with the company through F. R. Bain, a member of its board of directors. Accused of a Serious Offense. Monday night J. W. Slayton Jr., swore out a warrant against a man by the name of Stubblefield, who was a nightwatch at the Fullerton high school, on a serious charge of making improper proposals to his 14-year-old sister. The warrant was issued by Judge Inskip and placed in Marshal French's hands, who went to the high school grounds about midnight and served it on Stubblefield. Stubblefield has a wife and a family and asked the officer to let him stop at his home to tell his wife, and after talking to his wife a few minutes, he would leave his lunch basket in the kitchen and opened the door and stepped in that room. The officer followed him, but only in time to see Stubblefield going out at the rear door. He followed the prisoner, but disappeared in the walnut grove. SCHOOLING FOR FARM LIFE So widespread among young men is the desire to have practical training for farm life that the applications for admission this fall to the University Farm School, conducted by the University of California at Davis, now far out-number those of a year ago. With the opening of the new term at Davis on September 19, a new dormitory will be opened. This will accommodate an additional 105 students in the three-year course in farm subjects. Within a few months the new class room, library and auditorium building will be completed. Dean Van Norman reports also that more applications have been received for admission to the Short Courses for practical farmers, at the University farm from October 5 to November 14, than at this time a year ago. The fact that each individual lecture and demonstration has been scheduled for a definite hour and day has met with much appreciation. One farmer and his wife have applied for camping accommodations in order to attend the Short Courses. One wife has written to the University Farm that since her husband cannot leave the farm work she is coming to take courses containing the information her husband needs for practical use on his farm. DESTRUCTION OF OUR SUGAR INDUSTRY Events have swiftly demonstrated in a most practical and convincing manner the almost incredible folly of the Free Trade Congress and administration in withdrawing Protection from the sugar producing industry of the United States and its insular dependencies. What other nation, civilized or uncivilized, would have deliberately planned to destroy so important an industry? If there be any free tradeers among the natives of Darkest Africa, one can hardly imagine that they would be capable of so stupid an atrocity as that of legislating out of existence so important a source of domestic employment and profit. We think that even savage solons would draw the line there and hesitate to do such a thing.

He followed the prisoner, but be disappeared in the walnut grove around his home and has not, we are told, been heard of since. Marshal French says the man denied the charge and said there was nothing to it in the least, while on the other side the girl tells her story. Kent Held for Trial. Frank C. Kent of Garden Grove was before Judge West Friday to answer to an information charging him with the murder of I. O. Wilson who was struck over the head with a garden rake. Kent's attorney demurred to the complaint, and moved that the information be dismissed. The demurred was overruled and the motion denied. The ground of the motion was that there was error in the order of the magistrate holding Kent for trial in the Superior Court. Kent is out on ball furnished by friends at Garden Grove. Judge West set September 4 at 11 o'clock as the time for deciding upon a date for Kent's trial. Bean Growers Compromise. At a conference of lima bean growers and threshers Friday, a compromise was entered into whereby the growers agree to pay 27½ cents per 100 pounds for threshing. This agreement ends the controversy between growers and threshers. The growers stated that the cutting and piling of the limas is almost completed and threshing will start in two weeks. While it was known that the crop was the heaviest in the history of the industry in this county, the cutting has demonstrated that it is even heavier than had been predicted two weeks ago. About 25,000 acres of beans are grown in the county. There will be more money made by bean growers than ever before in this county. Standard's Tanks. The Standard Oil company is still enlarging its plans for the construction of storage in various parts of the state. The company is constructing a large number of tanks at Richmond, and in the northern fields, and thirty 55,000 barrel tanks instead of twenty, are to be constructed on the pipe line from Fullerton to El Segundo, fifteen in the field and fifteen at the refinery. Besides the company is building several 65,000 barrel tanks for storing refined products at El Segundo. These will cost nearly $1,000,000 when completed. The company has spent millions in storage construction dur... enlarging its plans for the construction of storage in various parts of the state.

The company has spent millions in storage construction during the past few months. Disagreeable Dispute. As the result of a mix-up at Fullerton Saturday evening J. M. Bailey, superintendent for the Standard Oil Company is in a hospital. It is said he discharged C. A. Bennett, an employee, paying Bennett what the company owed him. Bennett claimed that Bailey owed him $50 additional borrowed money, and placed the matter in the hands of an attorney for collection. The men met on the street and after a few words Bailey is said to have knocked Bennet down. As Bennett got up he went after Bailey with a pocket knife, cutting a gash across his breast four inches long. Bailey then started to get a shovel out of his auto to come back at Bennett, but passersby separated the men. Found Floating Body. Two fishermen on the rocks between Laguna Beach and Corona Del Mar Sunday found the body of a man floating in the kelp, and with a boat secured at Laguna Beach brought the body ashore. Indications are that the man had been dead for a week. The body has not been identified. The man was about 50 years old. He has black hair and about a week's growth of black beard. He wore a dark serge suit and light tan shoes. There is nothing to show whether death was by accident or intent. The body was taken to Santa Ana by Coroner Winbigler. Charles Brandenberg and Herman Husswaner left on Sunday morning for San Francisco to see the sight of the Exposition city. AGRICULTURISTS DENOUNCE LAW San Berdo County Growers Denounce Proposed Socialist 8-Hour Law Fruit growers and general agriculturists from all parts of San Bernardino county held a "protest meeting" last week, adopted resolutions denouncing the Socialist Initiative Universal 8-hour law as destructive and dangerous and organized to conduct a vigorous campaign for its defeat. "Practical agriculturists absolutely know that this inflexible, drastic, experimental statute would mean ruin to the soll workers of California," said E. J. Yoakum, a pioneer citrus grower of Highland, who presided. "The men who proposed and now urge this law are not farmers and by their utterances apparently care nothing for the welfare of the farmer. The prosperity of the whole state, however, rests on the welfare of our agriculturists and if this law were adopted its injury would be felt by every man, woman and child in California. We are in danger of suffering from too much law, the liberties of our forefathers being now restricted in many ways against the public welfare." Southern California is proud of its dairy herds, and many of them are prize winners but in the matter of dairy products we do not commence to supply our own needs. Ten million pounds of butter is the yearly requirement for Los Angeles. Thirty million gallons of milk is used and the city consumes three hundred thousand pounds of cheese annually. The larger proportion of all of these is shipped in from dairy districts outside of Southern California, and much of that from points even outside the state. Fresh milk actually comes 250 miles by rail daily. So fully is this demand realized that commission men are constantly on the alert for new sources of supply. To partially meet this situation, and to take advantage of the steady demand, active steps are being taken in pronounced dairy districts, to augment the supply, by a more intense development of the dairy possibilities. It is said that the farmers of Perris Valley are now advocating the establishing of a milk bottling plant, so that pure milk may be delivered to consumers direct, daily, and in sanitary condition. Similar plants are under discussion in other recognized dairy districts. WAR EFFECT ON LEMONS The world depends for its supply of lemons on Sicily and Southern California. The lemon crop of Italy amounts annually to 25,000 carloads, and that of California this year to about 5000 carloads. None of our lemons go out of the United States, excepting a few to western British Columbia. Sicily supplies the rest of the world, and the United States as far west as Chicago depends upon the island for its supply almost entirely. THURSDAY, SEPT. 3 Good Place to Buy— G-O-O-D L-U-M-B-E-R C.

Watch for Saturday Specials. Palace Market Wm. Schumacher With the obstruction of navigation on account of the war the Italian crop is "bottled up" for the time being. This has been a bonanza to the California growers, who are receiving enormous prices for their fruit. Of course this will not last long, as navigation is sure to be moderately safe on the Seven Seas, even if the war does go on. With the opening of navigation and secure commerce between the countries, the Sicilian crop might seek a market in the United States, to a greater degree than heretofore. Commerce between the belligerent nations of Europe will be very difficult and precarious to shippers. IT'S A GOOD LETTER AFTER ALL Someone has advanced the opinion that the letter "e" is the most unfortunate letter in the English alphabet, because it is always out of cash, forever in debt, never out of danger, and in hell all the time.

S 198 IT'S A GOOD LETTER AFTER ALL Someone has advanced the opinion that the letter "e" is the most unfortunate letter in the English alphabet, because it is always out of cash, forever in debt, never out of danger, and in hell all the time. For some reason he overlooked the fortunes of the letter, so we call his attention to the fact "e" is never in war and always in peace. It is the beginning of existence, the commencement of ease and the end of trouble. Without it there would be no meat, no life and no heaven. It is the center of honesty, makes love perfect, and without it there could be no editors, devils nor news. THE LIMA BEAN CROP It is now time for lima bean harvesting throughout Southern California. A larger quantity of this delicious vegetable is grown in this region than in all the world besides. And the crop is scattered almost through out the whole world. In Orange county there are nine threshing outfits engaged now in harvesting the crops in that one small county. But Ventura is the great region for the production of lima beans, and the number of outfits there is much larger. But besides the lima many other varieties of beans are grown in this section, including whites, black-eyes, and the brown bean, the real Spanish frijole. In Orange county there is as much as 21,000 acres of lima beans to be harvested, and 4000 black-eyes. The war has made an immense demand for this food in Europe, and whereas the beans usually sell in harvest time at from 3 cents to 5 cents a pound, they are now bringing 8 and 9 cents.

Otis Birch had secured possession of stock in the Menges Oil Company through misrepresentations. The defendants demurred to the complaints on the ground that action was prohibited through the statute of limitations. It was asserted that from the complaints it could not be told whether or not the complaints were filed within three years after the time the plaintiffs became convinced that Birch, when he bought their stock knew that a great well was about to be brought in on the Menges property at Brea. Judge Thomas held that it is necessary for the plaintiffs to set forth the time the information was secured and the time the plaintiffs became persuaded that they had not been dealt San Bernardino lies, with a goodly region still nearer themeset and Santa bulk of supply lands of the Baccountryside and Santa Watsonville and long sections of California.
