HOW KEEP SOIL FRUITFUL—FOR FINER FRUITS GREAT BENEFIT FROM WORK UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA IS PLANNING AT RIVERSIDE PROBLEMS OF VITAL INTEREST TO HORTICULTURISTS WILL BE ATTACKED BY EXPERTS Everybody in California will reap benefit from the work which the University of California is planning to carry on at the site about to be bought at Riverside for its new citrus experiment station and graduate school of tropical agriculture. Now that Riverside has been definitely chosen as the site, after many months of discussion as to where the great work can best be done, several hundred acres are to be bought, of as fine orange land as there is in the state. For this will be spent the $60,000 given by the state, added to by the people of Riverside. An irrigation system and farm and laboratory buildings will be provided, and experimental plots planted. Here are some of the burning problems to be attacked. "How can land be cultivated best under irrigation?" "How can land in California be kept permanently at its present unexamined fertility?" "What are the best varieties of fruits and plants now available, and how can still better types be created?" The extremely valuable results already achieved by the University in the seven years it has maintained a citrus experiment station at Riverside give an idea of the possibilities the future holds. For instance, the University has found out to feed orange and lemon trees. Seven years ago 20 plats were planted with six naval orange trees, five or more years later. SPEED KINGS READY FOR SAN DIEGO RACE Modern Juggernauts Will Perform to A Crowd Estimated at 75,000 at Exposition SAN DIEGO, Dec. 4—Every train and steamship is bringing a big crowd and roads leading into San Diego are crowded with automobiles. All signs point to a great gathering being on hand at the great exposition auto race of January 9. The fast course is ready for the tests and drivers are like a stable of colts in their anxiety to get on the course and determine how much speed is under them. Racing cars and drivers are arriving daily and even the practice trials promise to turn up a speed panorama that will only be outdone by the race. San Diego is housing the notables in the racing game. Eddie Rickenbacher, Peugeot driver is here. His teammate, Fred McCarthy is also on the ground and Bob Burnam, who will drive the third Peugeot is expected hourly. Earl Cooper is nursing his fast Stutz for the first trial. Jack Gablo has the big Tahis petted and pampered for the race of its career. All is well in the Duesenberg camp and Tom Alley, Eddie O'Donell and Jack Callaghan, Duesenberg drivers, predict the speed in the practice will come from this stable. Jack Welch has his mighty Oni in fit racing condition. The big car looks like 999 locomotives when it is coming head on. Many consider that the Ono will have the speed of the race. Its 200 horsepower is expected to turn up 120 miles an hour on the two mile straightway of the Point Loma course. Fifteen cars are entered to date, and while the entry list closed Saturday, the final closing did not occur HEAVY DAMAGE IN West Coast Oil Company Brought by Brooke J. F.

"What are the best varieties of fruits and plants now available, and how can still better types be created?" The extremely valuable results already achieved by the University in the seven years it has maintained a citrus experiment station at Riverside give an idea of the possibilities the future holds. For instance, the University has found out to feed orange and lemon trees. Seven years ago 20 plats were planted with six naval orange trees, six valencias, six Eureka lemons, and six Lisbons. Each of the 20 plats was fertilized differently. Now after seven years, it has been shown that nitrogen fertilization is exceedingly desirable. Of all the commercial fertilizer used, dried blood gave by far the best results. Phospheric acid, from bone, was found useful. On the Riverside soil in question potash was found unnecessary. It was concluded that fertilization from the time citrus trees are planted is probably necessary. Mottling was found to be least on plats fertilized with first, manure and raw phosphate, second, dried blood. There was practically no mottling on plats covered with a cover crop, such as vetch or Mellilotus clover, a considerable portion of the year, this crop then being plowed in. This is one of the most important discoveries made in these extremely valuable experiments at Riverside, experiments which are regarded as the most valuable fertilizer investigations ever carried on for citrus fruits. Cover crop experiments were performed on twenty different plots. After five years it was proved that crops of corn or potatoes following Mellotus clover and tangle peas turned under have much exceeded in yield crops grown on land where rye had first been grown and plowed under plus 1080 pounds of nitrate of soda. A good leguminous cover-crop plowed under was shown equivalent to 1080 pounds of nitrate of soda per acre. Moreover, such treatment introduces humus into the soil and also greatly aids the action of the farmer's invaluable friends, the tiny nitrifying bacteria in the soil. Besides continuing these very valuable experiments as to fertilizers and cover-crops and as to the factors which cause mottle-leaf, the University will continue at the new station in Riverside another great work—investigations in plant breeding. The modern farmer breeds his cattle with great care, and by the Babcock test as to the butter fat content in milk and by records of milk production eliminates the cow which is unproductive. Following this example the University wants to enlist in horticulture the great force of heredity for the service of the people of California. It is planned to plant at Riverside great numbers of varieties of many of the standard fruits and other crops of California and by selection of the best individuals and Tom Alley, Eddie O'Donnell and Jack Callaghan, Duesenberg drivers, predict the speed in the practice will come from this stable. Jack Welch has his mighty Ono in fit racing condition. The big car looks like 999 locomotives when it is coming head on. Many consider that the Ono will have the speed of the race. Its 200 horsepower is expected to turn up 120 miles an hour on the two mile straightaway of the Point Loma course. Fifteen cars are entered to date, and while the entry list closed Saturday, the final closing did not occur until midnight January 5. This will bring in a lot of belated ones. Between 25 and 30 cars will be given the flag by Starter Fred Wagner the morning of January 9 and the modern juggernauts of speed will perform to a crowd of 75,000 according to the most conservative estimates. GOODS ON AUTO TRUCK MYSTERIOUSLY BURNED Fire Discovered as Load of Millinery Wares is Being Transported to Los Angeles Millinery goods and fixtures, belonging to Mrs. Anna L. Mueller of Santa Ana, said to be worth $350, were destroyed by fire on Thursday on the state highway north of Fullerton as they were bing transported in the direction of Los Angeles. Mrs. Mueller has been conducting a millinery shop at Santa Ana. The fixtures and stock were loaded onto a truck belonging to the Dickinson Transfer Company and started off for Los Angeles. Ed Dickinson was driving the truck. Riding with him was Halley Petz, employed by the Tranafer company. The load was discovered to be on fire at a point on the highway three or four miles north of Fullerton. Dickinson and Petz immediately stopped the truck and tried to extinguish the blaze. Seeing that they could do nothing to stop the conflagration, the two men turned the truck about and drove at top speed to a point about a half-mile back, where they secured water with which they put out the flames. The truck was then driven back to Santa Ana and the charred debris unloaded at the Dickinson garage. A section of side railing and the floor of the truck were slightly burned though the damage to the machine is considered to be less than $10. The origin of the fire is a mystery. That it started in the center-of the load of goods seems almost certain from the fact that when Dickinson and Petz lifted off the top layer of boxes a great mass of flame immediately shot up. Both the driver and his assistant are certain that the blaze was not caused by a spark from the mechanism of the truck.

The modern farmer breeds his cattle with great care, and by the Babcock test as to the butter fat content in milk and by records of milk production eliminates the cow which is unproductive. Following this example the University wants to enlist in horticulture the great force of heredity for the service of the people of California. It is planned to plant at Riverside great numbers of varieties of many of the standard fruits and other crops of California and by selection of the best individuals and strains, and also by work in the great field of hybridization, to raise up for California new and improved varieties of the greatest possible productivity and the highest and best quality. Not only will new fruits and plants be introduced into California, but it will be endeavored to develop improved types of each, so that California shall not merely grow Florida oranges and Hawaiian avocados, but California oranges and California avocados, ideally suited to the climate, soil and economic and transportation conditions of California. The study of frost protection methods is another field of work which it is planned to enter upon. Means will be sought for curing or preventing various plant diseases and for getting rid of various insect pests. There will be experts at the Riverside station in plant chemistry, in entomology, in plant pathology, in plant breeding, and in various other fields of agricultural research. The large staff which is being organized for this citrus experiment station and graduate school of tropical agriculture will devote their whole time to scientific and economic investigations and to the training of graduate students. In charge of the work at Riverside will remain Dr. H. J. Webber, director of the citrus station, dean of the graduate school of tropical agriculture, and professor of plant breeding, one of the most distinguished living authorities on the problems of citrus fruits and also of the great modern science and art of plant breeding.

SWEEPING REFORMS PROPOSED IN RETAIL DISTRIBUTION OF INTOXICATING LIQUORS California Grape Protective Association Takes Initiative in Legislative Reform Confident that the hour has struck for sweeping reforms in the retail distribution of intoxicating liquors in California, the California Grape Protective Association, through Attorney Theodore Bell has announced its intention to take the initiative in a legislative reform program. This is to be done despite the fact that California voters overwhelmingly defeated a proposed prohibition mendment to the state constitution in the November 3 elections. The legislative program which the association hopes to put through as follows. County option, except in cities having 500 or more inhabitants; in licensed territory, not more than one saloon for each 1000 inhabitants or major fraction thereof; exclusive of table licenses for hotels and restaurants; separate licenses to sell mait and fermented liquors, as distinguished from distilled liquors; no saloon license to be issued to an individual, but property owners, under heavy bond, to be responsible for the faithful observance of the law; unlawful for any wine maker, brewer, distiller or wholesaler to have any pecuniary interest in a saloon; midnight and Sunday closing; anti treat law; drastic laws concerning the sale of intoxicating liquors to minors, women or to persons in an intoxicated or partially intoxicated condition; such limitations and restrictions respecting the granting of licenses in license territory as will forever eliminate dives and deadfalls. wife of Molasses, who spoke the Hearl per Redwood Creek "medicine" righarmes, healing, oing have just been University, in thereand also in translation by Professor Goddard he is now of the can Museum of N titled "Chilula Tex The Monster Worries oldest and warts went down along he hearing a noise on the small branches drop wood trees.

Compromises Sult Brought by Former Employee for Brocken Back J. F. Kennedy, an employee of the West Coast Oil company, who several months ago was knocked off a derick, and suffered a broken back, one day last week received the sum of $15,170.20 as a satisfaction judgment from the company. He sued the company for $25,000, but a compromise was affected. Kennedy is not expected to live very much longer, and has suffered greatly from the accident, which has brought him to death's door. Kennedy's back was broken when he was knocked off a derick of the West Coast Oil Co. Declaring that the company was responsible for the accident, he brought suit, and judgment was entered for $25,000 with $170.24 added for costs. He was the principal witness. He was wheeled into court in a chair, and stretched out in it he told the jury the story of the accident that in an instant changed him from a well, strong man to a cripple. The case was fought for Kennedy by Attorneys L. A. West, A. E. Koepel, and Walter Eden. The judgment was probably the largest ever given in this county as damages for personal injuries. The West Coast Oil Co., took an appeal, and was prepared to fight the action towards the supreme court. With the case still pending on this appeal, Kennedy's condition grew rapidly worse. For some time it has been apparent that his life was to be numbered in days. Had Kennedy died before the case was ended, a new suit might have been necessary. To save legal complications it was thought best to wipe the record clean. A compromise was entered into by the attorneys for the oil company and for Kennedy, and it was agreed that $15,170.25 should be accepted. Last week District Attorney L. A. West, one of Kennedy's attorneys, went to Kennedy's bedside at Fullerton. He took with him County Clerk W. B. Williams to acknowledge the signature. Excepting that the ink flowed scantily from the pen, Kennedy signed the document in a remarkably ORANGE COUNTY BEACH TOWNS SHOW HEALTHY GROWTHS Newport Beach and Huntington Beach Township Doubled In Four Years The population of Newport Beach has almost doubled since the census of 1910 was taken. In 1910 the population was 445. Today it is 813. The present population of Huntington Beach township, comprising Huntington Beach, Bay City precinct and Talbert precinct is 2962. The population of Huntington Beach city by the 1910 census was 815. Its population has advanced propably 100 per cent. Four weeks ago the Board of Supervisors ordered a census taken of each several townships of this county. This was done on petitions under which the taking of the census became mandatory. Of the census takers two have filed their reports with the Board of Supervisors. Those two are Lee Goepper of Newport Beach and J. W. Walker of Huntington Beach. At the time it was decided to take the census Huntington Beach township, that township included Newport Beach. Since then a new township has been created, comprising Newport Beach city and Harbor precinct, the latter being taken from Santa Ana township. Under the county government act the salary of a Justice or constable in a township with a population of less than 2000 is $10 a month. In a township with a population over 2000 and less than 5000 the salary is $20 a month; over 5000 and less than 8000, salary $50 a month; over 8000, salary $75. The Justice and constable of Huntington Beach township hope to show a population of over 5000. Of making that showing went a glimmering when Newport Beach was cut off. The reports made by the census takers show, that even had the new township not been created, Huntington Beach township would not have made the necessary 5000 for an increase in the salary of justice or constable from $25 a month to $50. Goepper's district for the census comprised Newport Beach city, and his list shows the total population at present to be 813. Walker's report for Huntington Beach city, Bay City and Talbert, does not show the census by precincts, and for that reason it is not possible from Plan the Kitchen carefully for this is the house-keeper's office and in it she spends much of her time, make it bright, cheery and above all plan to save time and foot-steps.

German children read in Grimm's Fairy Tales of water-nixies in their own Rhine, of gnomes and wood-folk in their own Black Forest, English children, of their own English Puck and Robin Hood; Italian children encounter in the pages of the Pentamorone the orges of Calabria and the fairy princesses of Sicily. Why not American children read about Cyote and Grizzly, those famous heroes of native California myth? A new world of fantastic native legend and miraculous adventure is being revealed by the University of California in the myths it is rescuing among the fast vanishing Indian tribes of California. These are being given to the world as one feature of a monumental series, "The University of California Publications in American Archaeology and Ethnology," of which ten bulky volumes have been published during the past dozen years. Some of these sands of native story will be sifted, and the magic touch of genius will turn into pure gold, for the delight of all the children of men. California's own rich gift to the world of myth and legend. Here are some bits of primitive California folk lore, paraphrased from Professor Pliny Earle Goddard's texts: (He took them down in phonetic writing from the lips of old Tom Hill, an aged Chilula Indian of the Bald Hills of Northern California, or from the wife of Molasses, a very old woman who spoke the Hupa dialect of upper Redwood Creek). These tales and "medicine" rigamaroles used for love charms, healing, or for luck in hunting have just been published by the University, in the original language and also in translation, in a volume by Professor Goddard, of New York, who is now of the staff of the American Museum of Natural History entitled "Chilula Texts.") The Monster With Two Heads The oldest and wisest of four brothers went down the creek. As he walked along he heard something make- wife of Molasses, a very old woman who spoke the Hupa dialect of upper Redwood Creek.

The Monster With Two Heads The oldest and wisest of four brothers went down the creek. As he walked along he heard something making a noise on the hillside, and he saw small branches dropping from the redwood trees. Then a two headed monster appeared. It gave chase. He ran until he was almost dead for want of breath. Finally, his breath was gone, he died. The monster who had killed him carried the body across the creek and up the hill to the house of Those Who Eat People—a house so covered with moss no one would notice it. A day passed, and another. Worried, another of the four brothers set out. When he came to the place where the village used to be he heard something making a noise. It was the two headed monster going along, and he made a noise in the forest like the blowing of the wind. The monster killed the second brother and carried him up the hill. Now two of them were gone. Worried because those who had gone forth did not return, still another brother set out toward the north. Now three were gone, and there was only one left. He was the youngest brother, and only so high. He said to his grandmother: "Today I am going visiting." "My grandchild, why do you say that. They'll eat us all up." Then she put a bolt on the youngest brother. It was this wide. "When you're about to lose your breath, point with this belt," she told him. Then the youngest started out. Across the stream, up on the hillside, the redwoods were moving back and forth. It was the two headed monster—and the monster chased him until his breath was nearly gone. He was about to be killed. But he pointed the belt. The monster fell in pieces— dead. Then the youngest brothel followed a track up the hillside. Near the head of the canyon stood a house on which ferns were rowing. He went in: There was an old woman and a boy. "What made that noise" sald the boy. (Beside him lay a net, made to catch people, for they lived on human beings, and the hillside was white with bones). The boy took up his net. But the youngest brother pointed his belt at him, and the boy fell into two parts. The old woman seized the net. The youngest brother pointed the belt at her. She died. "People shan't do this way," sald the youngest brother. "They must live right." They shan't eat people." So he burned down the house, and went home to his grandmother, and after that they lived well. Judge Thomas has given judgment for $4,370 in favor of the Nationa Surety company against F. P. Jayne. The surety company some five years ago went on the bond of the California Folding Crate company, an Anaheim concern, to build a depot for the Southern Pacific at Indio. The folding crate company went into bankruptcy, and the surety company lost. It sued Jayne, who had represented the folding crate company, and got judgment. J.N. Anderson has reported that he appraises the estate of Katherine Armbruster at $1700. The First National Bank OF ANAHEIM United States Depository for the Postal Savings System Capital, $50,000.
