ALBERT HEIN KILLED IN AUTO ACCIDENT Car Travelling Thirty Miles an Hour Turns Turtle and Lands on Victim Death, as the result of an automobile accident, came to Alfred Hein, son of Mr. and Mrs. Michael Hein of Hanson station, Saturday night. The accident occurred near Stanton Friday afternoon. Young Hein was riding in a Ford car driven by Ralph Huff a young friend. The car belonged to W. M. Gray and was being given a tryout. They were travelling at the rate of thirty miles an hour when the machine suddenly swerved and turned turtle. Huff was thrown out and fell beyond reach of the car but Hein was caught and crushed beneath it. A party passing in a machine lifted the wrecked auto and rescued him. A physician was called and after rendering first aid sent the boy to the Sanitarium where it was found that his injuries were so severe that little hope was entertained for his recovery. He died about 12 o'clock Saturday night. Young Huff was considerably bruised and cut but received no serious injury. Funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon at Backs & Terry's undertaking parlor.

The justices present were Cox of Santa Ana, Armor of Orange, Howard of Anaheim, Ashley of Placentia, Chaffee of Garden Grove, Callaway of Buena Park and Warner of Huntington Beach. Through the operation of legislation justices of the peace no longer are entitled to fees. During the last term each justice had a fixed salary, supposedly to pay him for attending to criminal business, and he got civil fees for attending to civil cases. The township judges laid this fact before the legislators, saying that they thought something ought to be done to balance the scales. The matter was thoroughly discussed, but no decision was reached by the legislators. At least, no conclusion was announced to the justices. IMPORTANT DECISION Irrigation waters diverted from rivers for public benefit cannot be curtailled by an upper riparian owner who has permitted his rights to lapse over a long period of time. Upon this dictum the supreme court, overruling the lower courts, ordered the James Canal company not to impair the supply of water taken from the San Joaquin river by the San Joaquin & Kings River Canal company, which operates in Merced, Fresno and Stanislaus counties. Since 1872 the latter company has taken water from the river near its junction with the Fresno slough, and supplied it 18,000 acres of land in the above named counties. The James company, owning thousand of acres riparian to the Fresno slough, began taking water from the river above the headgates of the plaintiff company, seriously impairing the available supply of the plaintiff company. Suit was immediately filed in 1898 for a writ of mandate against the James company to compel it to cease its operations. The case has been buffeted between courts since that time upon different issues, this being the third time the supreme court has passed upon various phases of it. CONTROL OF FOREST PESTS The demonstratoin work in the control of a Dendroctonus beetle, carried out under the immediate supervision of the department in the Yosemite National Park and on the private land of a large lumber company north of Mount Shasta, in California, has resulted in the adoption of a regular insect control policy by the officials of the Yosemite National Park and by one of the largest timber owners and lumber manufacturers in the state. In the Yosemite valley and park 3,904 trees have been treated during 1913 and 1914 at a total cost of $4,713.43, or an average of $1.21 a tree. Of these 2,018 were infested lodgepole pines and 302 yellow Jeffrey, and sugar pines. In past years a Dendroctonus beetle has killed from 50 to 100 per cent of the lodgepole pine over vast areas in that region. With the present season's control work it is thought that the pest will be brought under complete control. The work on the private lands north of Mount Shasta was undertaken in May, 1913, in order to give a practical demonstration methods. Only 236 infected trees were treated in that year. An examination of the area in the spring of 1914, however, showed a reduction in the infestation of over 85 per cent. In 1914, 1,076 yellow pine trees were treated at an average cost of $2.34 per tree. With the exception of the salaries of the entomological ranges assigned to the work, the expenses of this control project has been borne by the owners of the timber.

Suit was immediately filed in 1898 for a writ of mandate against the James company to compel it to cease its operations. The case has been buffeted between courts since that time upon different issues, this being the third time the supreme court has passed upon various phases of it. It was argued by counsel for the plaintiffs that the failure of Jefferson G. James, former owner of the James company's lands, to assert his rights to the San Joaquin waters—his by the fact that the Fresno slough is fed by the river—gave the plaintiff company a prescriptive right to the waters above their headgates near Mendota. While the supreme court did not literally uphold the arguments of the plaintiff, it gave a prescriptive right upon the ground that the waters were used for the public benefit. Lois Rebekah lodge No. 268, will hold a special meeting Saturday, Feb. 27. The occasion being the official visit of Mrs. Fannie M. Lacy, president of the Rebekah assembly. There is a large class of candidates to be initiated. A cordial invitation is extended to any strangers in town who are Rebekahs. Anselmo Sosa, who dropped out of sight from San Diego 20 years ago and was five years ago declared dead by the superior court, is alive and a prosperous real estate dealer of Santa Ana. So Sosa wishes to be resurrected now by the court and through his attorney has asked the superior court of San Diego to take action for this purpose. Sosa, it seems, had gone to Mexico and, after a long search his wife failed to find him and supposed he was dead. She re-married and is now living in Berkeley. PROFIT IN LIMA BEANS With lima beans bringing the highest price on record, California's lima bean industry now achieves the distinction of averaging one of the highest values in acreage of any crop in the state. There is reported to be a total of 100,000 acres devoted to lima beans and the land is valued at approximately $70,000,000, which is an average of $700 per acre. This estimate has just been arrived at through estimates of growers. There are many growers so emphatic in their valuation of the available bean land as to state there is not a single bean ranch for sale at any price. Lima bean land is generally quoted at $500 to $900 an acre, and will, it is said, return the owner at least 10 percent net income on this valuation. The year 1914 saw the largest production of lima beans ever reached in California, which amounted to 1,500,000 bags of eighty pounds each and worth over $6,000,000 to the growers. In addition to the unprecedented yield growers received 5 1/2 to 6 cents per pound for their product in the field which is in excess of previous years. The high price of lima beans and lima bean land is the result of California being the most exclusive producer of limas in the world. This state is at present producing over 90 per cent of the world's crop. The only other producer is the French colony of Madagascar, which has a very limited acreage. All of California's lima bean land is situated in Southern California, in the five counties of Ventura, Santa Barbara, Los Angeles, Orange and San Diego. The extent of their production it in the order named. The local lodges that they have Moosheart picture pictures and "Mooseheart," the tion of the spirit world's best manhood."

Their two daughters left a month ago for Holton. Mr. and Mrs. Fernkopf have resided here more than four years, and have made many warm personal friends who will regret their departure. They will probably return to this section some time next year, but Mr. Fernkopf declares he will remain in Kansas long enough to cast a straight republican ballot at next year's presidential election. May the best of good luck attend him and his family. Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Sackett, Mr. and Mrs. R. B. Herman, Mr. and Mrs. G. M. Simpson, Mr. and Mrs. F. W. Lee, and Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Calloway attended the Montana picnic at Sycamore Grove on Monday, and enjoyed a rare day's outing, meeting with many former friends. There were 1500 former Montanaans present, the feature of the day being a fine basket picnic. Four years ago, when the first Montana picnic was held at the Grove, there were fifty present. A year later 250 attended, and last year the number reached 1000. The Southern counties are rapidly filling up with very desirable emigrants from the northwest states.

Protection districts throughout the entire state will be formed under the new law to meet the identical conditions which confront us here in Orange County. Why should the few people in the Anaheim Storm Water District, as now formed, be compelled, at their own expense, to furnish protection against storm water, to a territory lying outside of the district which is ten times as large as the district itself? The present Olive bridge is 1600 feet long and the new bridge now under construction will be only 600 feet long. In order to confine the Santa Ana river within so small a channel, the cost of construction works, dykes, dredging, etc., will necessitate a bond issue of not less than $100,000.00. The total assessed valuation of all property within the district is George Washington Hamler celebrated his fifty-third birthday on Monday his natal day falling upon that of the Father of his Country. Mr. Hamler was named after the immortal president whom he resembles in many respects, for, he declares, he has made it a practice to emulate his example by confining himself strictly to the truth on all occasions. When he returned home in the evening he found a great birthday cake decorated with American flags, and an elaborate dinner prepared by Mrs. Hamler. The cake was made in the form of a fort, with cannon bristling from the embattlements, and was appropriately decorated. During the day he received many congratulations and best wishes for long life and happiness and continued prosperity. Mike Regan was in town from Los Alamitos on Tuesday renewing old acquaintances and shaking hands with his many friends. Mike is one of the pioneer residents of Los Alamitos, having gone there in the fall of 1896, when the sugar mill was constructed. He states the factory is still manufacturing sugar from molasses, and will not conclude the present season's run until April. Mike always finds the latchstring out hereaway, and his many friends are always glad to meet him. The Orange County Supervisors have recently had installed at the county hospital and farm a new water pump which is said to be the most successful automatic self-olling pump in operation. The pump, five-horsepower electric motor, switch, oller and other apparatus are all contained on one base and no attention is required as it starts, stops and is oilled automatically. It lifts 3000 gallons per hour from a deep well into a series of pressure tanks with a pressure of sixy pounds to the square inch. It not only furnishes water under pressure for all of the buildings and sprinklers but automatically provides fire protection. The local lodge of Moose announce that they have secured the famous Moosheart picture, illustrating in motion pictures and slides the story of "Moosheart, the material manifestation of the spiritual substance of the storm water, to a territory lying outside of the district which is ten times as large as the district itself? The present Olive bridge is 1600 feet long and the new bridge now under construction will be only 600 feet long. In order to confine the Santa Ana river within so small a channel, the cost of construction works, dykes, dredging, etc., will necessitate a bond issue of not less than $100,000.00. The total assessed valuation of all property within the district is $1,710,960.00. That will mean an additional assessment of $5.90 on each one hundred dollars worth of property in this district, and the people of the City of Anaheim will have to stand about 75 per cent of the entire expense. We are in favor of river protection, but insist upon the formation of a district which shall include all territory benefited, where all shall receive the protection they need and each shall pay his just proportion of the expense.

Von Nelbelschuetz has arrived from St. Paul and has taken charge of the Lutheran Parochial school which has an attendance of 58 students. He takes the place of C. Goetz, who has sent in his resignation. The new instructor is a highly educated gentleman, who has had long years of training in educational work, and under his tuition the school will doubtless make rapid progress. Prof. E. W. Hauck has just received notice of his election as a member of the executive committee of the Southern California Teachers Association, southern section, for a term of one year, beginning April 1. The tenth annual picnic of former residents of Carroll county, Illinois, residing in Southern California will be held at East Lake park, Los Angeles, on Saturday, March 13. CALIFORNIA Did you ever the meaning of the word California? If belongs to no language. Hundreds of years ago, when Spain was ripest in genius and chivalry, a forgotten poet conceived, out of the treasures of his fancy, a fairy kingdom, where flight wore diamonds for stars and dawn was lighted by a sun whose rays broke into dust of gold—and he called his dream "California." So that when in after centuries his countrymen first behold the golden shores of the Western seas, there seemed but one name fitting for so glorious an empire, and they called it "California"—the land of golden suns, jeweled gardens and life eternal, and what name could more be felt? For there, along the Pacific, time cannot conquer beauty; redwood and mountain alike seem to endure since the first dawn. No more beautiful setting could be imagined for the wonderful expositions that will commemorate the completion of the Panama Canal. Hills that lave their feet in the fragrant seas—turquoise canopies overhead—flowers, splashing rocks, and meads with color beyond the genius of the planter—highways hedged with spontaneous tangles of rose geraniums and goldenrod, sweetening every vragrant wisp of wind with wild perfumes that no bottle will ever prison. Come to California and renew your faith in the worthwhileness of existence, come and behold wonders beyond imagination. The foregoing is from the title page of one of the most exquisitely beautiful and artistic advertising booklets that has come from the press. It is issued by the Rock Island Railway lines, and devoted mainly to the San Francisco and San Diego Expositions. The regular meeting of the Annholm Parent Teachers association will be held at the Fremont school next Tuesday afternoon at half-past three o'clock. This will be a "Mothers' Meeting." Dr. Harriet Bigham will speak on the subject, "The Growing Girl in School." It is hoped that all mothers will avail themselves of the opportunity of hearing Dr. Bigham, for she has a message for all mothers who are interested in the welfare of their children.
