Get a New GRAHAM T HELD UP BY GIPSIES Rosie Gave, queen of the Gypsies, and her brother, Ell Gave, gave a bad fright to Mike Fram, a man living in Artesia Sunday night. Mike was having a hike along the road near Artesia, but in this county, when the twain pounced upon him and ordered him to hold up his hands. Mike sent his hands skyward, and the woman defily went through his pockets, while the man stood guard. Word of the outrage was at once telephones to the office of the Sheriff, and George Law, under-sheriff, went to the scene, and returned with the pair. They were locked up all night, and brought before Judge Cox Monday. "Good morning," said hizzoner, to the Gypsy queen. "How do you feel, after spending a night in jail?" "I feel like a two-year-old colt in a clover pasture," said the woman. The pair were held under ball of $1000 each for trial on a felony charge. Their cases will be taken up by the Superior Court. A pair of woo-begone Gypsies were loitering about the office of the sheriff, trying to get an opportunity to talk with their beloved queen. They became weary of waiting after awhile, and went away, ostensibly to get ball for their ruler. It is claimed that these are the same gypsies who have been doing so much damage around Lancaster. When the judge asked them their true names they gave Rosie Steve and Ell Steve. James Chamberlain of Pasadena has been making a visit to his son, C. E. Chamberlain and family this week.

The fact that such property holders must pay a tax for the bond issue is only an apparent injustice, for if the highway system is well planned the entire county will feel the benefits of the improvement. As a rule, main market roads reach the majority of producing areas, and when they are improved all land values tend to increase. The fact that cities and larger towns are frequently taxed for bond issues to build highways outside of their own limits is sometimes made a point of debate in bond elections. It is argued that because a large part of the county wealth is within the corporate limit of such cities and towns highway bond money should also be used to construct their streets. It is even urged that the expenditure should be made proportionate to the assessed valuation within the city limits. If the proceeds of highway bonds issues were distributed in this way, their purpose in many cases would be defeated. The primary object of the county highway bond issue is to build county market roads and not to improve city streets, although a high percentage of the assessed valuation DECIDIOUS FRUITS The Curtis Olive company at Bloomfield, Riverside county, have pickled upwards of 600 tons of olives this season besides making a large amount of oil. The records for orange shipments from Lindsay were broken one day last week when 75 carloads of navels left that place. The former record had been 68 cars. The fumigation of citrus orchards in Tulare county was stopped for the season last week, and according to Horticultural Commissioner Collins the operations were successful in every way. Superintendent Clark of the Edison orange groves near Bakersfield is authority for the statement that pomelos will do well in that section and now regrets that his company did not plant a part of their acreage to that fruit. The directors of the National Orange Show to be held at San Bernardino in February, have decided to have their exhibits among real orange trees which will be laden with ripe oranges. Other features are also being worked out in an attempt to make the next show the most attractive ever held. It is estimated that fully 600 cars of oranges will be shipped from northern California this year, 200 of these being from Butte county points. Shipping is brisk in that part of the state and reports from the east say that these shipments will probably have a good reception, as the Florida oranges that are reaching the market are immature. Reports from Tulare county are to the effect that the orange crop there for the year will be about 5,500 carloads as compared to 5,800 cars last year, the difference being due to a slight decrease in Valencia shipments for the year. The navel crop is said to be of exceptionally fine quality and the new government regulation has practically eliminated the shipping of green or immature fruit. Aplaries in Good Shape— J. E. Pleasant, county bee inspector, has filed his report for the month of November. He has inspected six aplaries of the county and found conditions excellent in every one of them. His report states that the aplaries of the county are nearly all free from any taint whatever, and says that each place visited was in fine condition as far as the bees and hives were concerned. The National meat market has closed its doors and retired from business the stock and fixtures having been taken over by the Los Angeles board of trade. is argued that because a large part of the county wealth is within the corporate limit of such cities and towns highway bond money should also be used to construct their streets. It is even urged that the expenditure should be made proportionate to the assessed valuation within the city limits. If the proceeds of highway bonds issues were distributed in this way, their purpose in many cases would be defeated. The primary object of the county highway bond issue is to build county market roads and not to improve city streets, although a high percentage of the assessed valuation may be city property. It is now known that the expenditure of city taxes on country roads is a sound principal and that it is one of the best features of state aid for highways. In Massachusetts the city of Boston pays possibly 40 per cent of the total state highway fund, but not a mile of state aid highway has been built within its limits. New York city also pays about 60 per cent of the cost of the state highway bonds. Some state laws prohibit the expenditure of proceeds of state highway bonds within corporate limits of cities or towns. The improvement of market roads results in improved marketing conditions, which benefit the city. Most cities are essentially dependent upon the surrounding country for their prosperity and development. The development of suburban property for residence purposes is also dependent upon highway conditions, and it is becoming evident yearly that whatever makes for an increase in rural population must be encouraged. Since the introduction of motor traffic country highways are used to an increasing extent by city residents. In fact, the cost of maintaining many country highways has been greatly increased by the presence of city-owned motor vehicles. The general advance in facilities for doing country business from town headquarters when roads are improved is no inconsiderable factor in the commercial life of the community. The Orange County Bankers' Association met Monday evening in the stockholders' room of the German American bank. Financiers from various parts of the county were present. Max Nebelung is engaged in taking the school census of this district.

Los Angeles St. RAINFALL IN HAWAII The rainfall on the island of Hawaii varies greatly, ranging from the enormous downpour of 353 inches a year in the upper Waipio Valley to 20 inches on some of the slopes of Hualalal. The only surface stream on the island is found along the northeast coast between Hilo and Kohala. Waipio river, according to the United States Geological survey, is the largest stream on the island and has been partly developed for irrigation. At Kapoho, on the east point of the island, warm water flows from seams in the rocks. These warm springs flow into a pool about 100 feet long, 25 feet wide, and 20 feet deep. The pool is entirely surrounded by rocks and its color varies in shade from a beautiful blue to violet. Walapele, or Green Lake, is a body of fresh water in the pit of an old crater near Kapoho. This lake covers an area of about 5 acres and is fed by springs below the surface. A pumping plant takes water from this lake for domestic use and for irrigation. Richardo Garcia, who abstracted a couple of robes and a shawl from the Huntington, was given a 20-day semachines of J. J. Dwyer and H. Zence by Judge Howard Monday. FOREST NOTES White pine and yellow pine are the woods most used in boxes, and each contributes more than a billion feet to the box industry annually. The annual cut of British Columbia timber is approximately 2 billion feet. There are 420 mills and 790 logging camps in the province, employing about 60,000 men. The Massachusetts forestry association offers as a prize the planting of fifty acres of white pine to the town which gains first place in a contest for town forests. The Bolse national forest in Idaho had 30 fires during the past summer, yet 28 were held down to less than 10 acres, and of these 15 were less than one-quarter of an acre. The supervisor says this success was due to a lookout tower, and to efficient telephone and hellograph service. Because of the war, British manufacturers and consumers of wood pulp have been caused considerable uneasiness. Production is at a standstill in the countries at war, and in Norway and Sweden, principal sources of supply, mills have been greatly hampered because of a lack of coal and of chemicals. England has practically no domestic sources of pulp.
