CITY TRUSTEES SIGN CONTRACT WITH CATEY SOUTHERN PACIFIC GIVES CITY DEEDS FOR WIDENING SOUTH OLIVE STREET DRAINAGE OF STORM WATER ON EAST SYCAMORE STREET TO BE PROVIDED The Board of Trustees met in regular session at the city hall on Thursday evening, February 25th. Present, Trustees Cook, Stark, Hamler, Schneider and Brunworth, and Attorney H. G. Ames. City Clerk E. B. Merritt read the minutes of the last regular meeting which were approved as read. The Finance Committee reported auditing bills to the amount of $406.15, and warrants were ordered drawn in payment of same. The matter of providing proper drainage for storm water on East Sycamore street was referred to Engineer Steward. A culvert will have to be put in under the Santa Fe tracks crossing that street in order to give proper drainage. A communication was received from the Anaheim Union Water company, stating that it was their intention to lay a pipe line on East Santa Ana street, to displace an open ditch. It was stated that the property owners would pay one-fourth of the expense, and that if the city would pay one-quarter the company would pay the other half and proceed with the work. The board agreed to the proposition, of buildings to the rear of the premises, necessitated by the changing of the poles from the streets to the alleys. The engineer was instructed to notify property owners that they would have to stand the cost of making the removal of the wires. The city would change the meters. SCHOOL FUNDS Edward Hyatt, superintendent of public instruction, has forwarded us the following in reference to the second semi-annual apportionment of state school funds: The state controller, state treasurer, county superintendents, county auditors, county treasurers, and clerks of secondary (high) schools are hereby notified that the following apportionments of state school funds have been made as directed by law. They will therefore, credit the proper funds in their respective books in accordance therewith. The sources of the apportionments will appear from the letter of Mr. Chambers, state controller: January 14, 1915. Hon. Edward Hyatt, Superintendent of Public Instruction, Capitol building. Dear Sir—The bonds held in trust for the school fund on December 31, 1914, amounted to $7,590,833.27.

It was stated that the property owners would pay one-fourth of the expense, and that if the city would pay one-quarter the company would pay the other half and proceed with the work. The board agreed to the proposition, provided the cost is reasonable. Attorney Ames reported that by a recent decision handed down by the supreme court national banks are not required to pay a license tax to the city. Under the banking laws taxes paid to the state cover all obligations due from the banking institutions. The German-American bank paid its last license tax to the city under protest. The money was ordered refunded and the marshal was instructed not to seek further license tax from the bank. A resolution was passed accepting deeds for right-of-way from the Southern Pacific company. The company gives deed for ten feet on each side of its track on South Olive street for purposes of widening that thoroughfare. The company also gives the city a deed for a right-of-way on West Broadway, crossing its tracks there, for the benefit of the traveling public. It is the intention of the railway company to close up all roads crossing their tracks in their station reservation at West Anselm. This is all company property, and it is the intention to close the same. A contract was entered into between the city and S. F. Catey, the latter having secured the job to sink the new 16-inch well at the municipal plant. The contract provides for all legal requirements and it was ordered filed. A communication was received from the city attorney of Orange, asking for co-operation on the part of cities to resist the contemplated raise in the gas rates by the Southern Counties Gas Company. The company has made application to the state commission for the purpose of raising the minimum rate now charged consumers. It is intended to enter vigorous protest, and attorneys of the cities of the county are to confer jointly and take steps looking to the prevention of any raise in the present rates. Engineer Steward asked the city to furnish him a number of small wood-monuments, some to be driven. The state commission of immigration and housing has installed in Oakland's new $1,000,000 city hall an interesting exhibit of the best types of working men's homes to be found in the East, together with statistics of the rental return plan. The objective of the commission is to eliminate all tenement districts as they exist in the large cities of the East, and to provide for the housing of the working class along the lines of the garden plan which is in vogue in many of the great manufacturing centers of England and Canada.

NEW COUNTERFEATURE gas rates by the Southern Counties Gas Company. The company has made application to the state commission for the purpose of raising the minimum rate now charged consumers. It is intended to enter vigorous protest, and attorney of the cities of the county are to confer jointly and take steps looking to the prevention of any raise in the present rates. Engineer Steward asked the city to furnish him a number of small wooden monuments, the same to be driven into the ground, defining street intersections. Request was granted. The city attorney was instructed to draw up an ordinance defining street grades upon all streets not now of record. There are several new streets without official grades and it is the purpose of this new ordinance to provide for the same. The City Clerk was instructed to write to the railroad commission and ask permission for the city to use the new widened area on South Olive street for a public highway, and also for the same permission on West Broadway over the Southern Pacific tracks. This is simply a form of law that has to be complied with, since the city accepted deeds from the railway company for these new rights-of-way. Dr. McFarlane appeared before the board and asked permission to cut down a tree, or maybe two, in front of a building on South Chatres street, to afford better street effect for that building which is to be used as a blacksmith shop. It is desired to place an advertising sign there and the trees, it is said, obstruct the view. It was referred to the committee on public improvements. The matter of appointing a trustee to fill the vacancy on the library board was deferred to a future date. Engineer Adams addressed the board in reference to changing electric wires and meters from the front and housing has installed in Oakland's new $1,000,000 city hall an interesting exhibit of the best types of working men's homes to be found in the East, together with statistics of the rental return plan. The objective of the commission is to eliminate all tenement districts as they exist in the large cities of the East, and to provide for the housing of the working class along the lines of the garden plan which is in vogue in many of the great manufacturing centers of England and Canada. The northern city is the first in California to have this exhibit, and it is hoped that it will bring about a movement to create an interest among the working men to beautify their home grounds. There are 11,000 railroad men alone living there, and when the other working men that reside there are taken into consideration, the total swells to a very large figure. Free lectures are given every day at the exhibit, which consist of photographs and models. There are several bills pending in the legislature dealing with tenement house regulations, and one of the purposes of the exhibit and the meetings that accompany it is to ascertain how far the state should go in abating existing evils and what constructive steps can be taken to better living conditions in the more crowded portions of the cities. All labor, civic, industrial and commercial organizations are taking a great interest in the exhibit, and are collaborating in their efforts to make it a success. AN OUNCE OF PREVENTIVE 18 WORTH A TON OF CURE It is said that the sword of Damocles was suspended above the head of that tyrant with but a single thread. Every man, woman and child ought to think well of the lesson taught by this example. The fire demon is the sword of destruction that ever hangs above the heads of the people. If you knew that by the mere snapping of a thread all that you have saved would be wiped out, wouldn't you ever be on the alert to see that the thread was not snipped? More property is destroyed by fire than by all other destroying elements combined.

Above all the teeth should be kept in good condition and the mouth kept clean. It is the duty of persons who have colds to take every precaution against transmitting them to others. The agency in the transmission of colds from one person to another is the sputum, and this transferrence may occur directly by sneezing, coughing or expectorating. Some one has called the cold the strap hangers disease, because of the frequency with which it is contracted in overcrowded street cars. The common handkerchelf is a great transmitter of disease. People with colds should either destroy the hand kerchief which they use or sterilize them by boiling them. If you do not want to give your cold to somebody else, hold your handkerchelf or your hand over your face when you cough or sneeze, and do not indulge in promiscuous splitting. If you do not wish to contract a cold from a person who has one, avoid intimate personal contact with him. In the old days they used to hang a bag of nasatifetula around the schoolboy's neck in order to protect him against colds and this did to a certain extent perform the function for which it was designed, because the order of nasatifetula is such as to discourage close personal contact. A little cold is a dangerous thing. Many a case of tuberculosis is dated from a neglected cold. Keep up your bodily defenses and avoid the careless person who is acting as a chronic distributor of colds. PURCHASING POWER OF FARM CROPS DWINDLING The federal department of agriculture has just issued a statement showing the purchasing power of an acre of farm crops in 1913 compared with 1909. While the price per acre of several farm crops is shown to have increased to some extent within the past five years the gain in price has not kept pace with that of some of the necessities used by the farmer. The report shows that the purchasing power of an acre of wheat in 1910 was 98 pounds of hard, while it was only 81 pounds in 1913. In 1909 an acre of wheat would buy 243 yards of calico while in 1913 the purchasing power was only 128 yards. Forwearing boots. PLAN THE BARN as carefully as you do your house.

A community can safely be judged by the kind of highways it maintains. The greatest chasm between the producer and the consumer is the mud hole. Production must cease when the transportation costs eat up the profits. There is something radically wrong with the farmer who is opposed to good roads. Without good roads, there can be no development that will be permanent and enduring. Bad roads keep children from school and impair the efficiency of church work in a community. The elementary principles involved in improved highways are social and domestic happiness and business economics. FARM FACTS Cheap money will solve many of the farmers problems. There is not enough of the community spirit among our rural districts. Success in farming depends largely upon proper marketing methods, cheap money and cooperation. Something is wrong in our marketing system when a small crop brings more money than a bountiful one. Co-operation between practical farmers and proficient business men will eliminate ignorance and prejudice. The highest duty of state and Federal governments is to place agricultural education within the reach of all. The farmer cannot be helped until he organizes, and the government can beat help the farmer through organization. By cooperating with his neighbor the farmer can learn new methods of culture and the interchange of ideas will benefit both. The nation's menu must be made up from the fields, pastures, orchards and gardens, and to farm intelligently the farmer must know what is needed. NEW COUNTERFEIT $20 GOLD CERTIFICATE OUT A new counterfeit $20 gold certificate has been discovered by the secret service. It is of the series of 1906 and 1907. CHEAP MONEY Cheap money is the fount that makes the brook of industry flow and without it the homeless farmer can hardly hope for a home or the manufacturing industry expect to prosper. The farmers of the United States owe $800,000,000 and cheap money will mean millions of dollars in saving to the farmer. NOW IS THE TIME TO SWAT THE FLY Uncle Sam is waging a relentless war on the deadly housefly and in a late bulletin prepared by the department of agriculture, valuable information is given on the best means of combating this deadly pest. The most effective way of exterminating the fly, according to the bulletin, is to eradicate his breeding places. The breeding season of the fly begins early in March and continues throughout the spring and summer months. All dirt should be removed from the premises, stables cleaned and decaying vegetables destroyed. The fly has rightly been called the undertaker's traveling salesman, and in addition to his regular line of "typhoid bugs," he carries a side line of tuberculosis, Asiatic cholera and other disease germs. Now is the time to swat the fly." THE SPLIT LOG DRAG The plit log drag has contributed more toward the economic maintenance of public highways than any implement of modern usage. It does not require special acts of the legislature, bond issues nor expensive educational campaigns to make it available as usually preceded construction work.

NEW COUNTERFEIT $20 GOLD CERTIFICATE OUT A new counterfeit $20 gold certificate has been discovered by the secret service.

WHAT PREVENTS AND HOW TO PREVENT COLDS People who have colds, according to the United States Public Health Service, are suffering from an attack of germs which they carry in their own mouths or throats. These have been permitted to reside there in a state of armed neutrality between the germs and the body defenses, until fatigue, emotion, intemperance, over-exertion, or sudden chill, temporarily reduces the integrity of the body's defensive agents. This produces the aggregation of symptoms known as a cold. Colds are really very serious matters, and should never be treated lightly. If the body's resistance to one kind of disease is lowered, it is quite easy for other germs to gain a foothold and spring into activity at such a time. The infection which has produced a cold may extend to other parts of the body, and middle ear disease and deafness may ensue; or a remote joint may be infected, thus causing a lowered efficiency throughout life. Many of the cases which are diagnosed as rheumatism are merely the chronic poisoning which results from the continued growth of the same germs which produce colds. Since colds are induced by a lowering of the bodily efficiency, it is seen that they may be avoided by the maintenance of the bodily processes in a good condition. This means the observance of the rules of hygiene, adequate food, avoidance of excesses, the or disease germs. Now is the time to swat the fly." THE SPLIT LOG DRAG The plit log drag has contributed more toward the economic maintenance of public highways than any implement of modern usage. It does not require special acts of the legislature, bond issues nor expensive educational campaigns to make it available as usually precedes construction work. A drag can be built or purchased for twenty dollars and is easily operated by any one who can drive a team. We need more drags in this state. 58 COUNTIES TO GET $2,304,833.33 FUND In the last state school apportionment for the fiscal year made by Job Wood, Jr., statistician for the state superintendent of public instruction, $2,304,833.33 was distributed among the 58 counties in the state in proportion to the daily average attendance in the primary and grammar schools. On February 15, 1915 this was 319.229. Wood also distributed $418,359 among the 255 high schools of the state, which had a daily average attendance on that date of 48,312 students. The total daily average attendance in schools was 365,541, and the amount apportioned $22,723,193.37. CLEANS UP $90,00 IN WHEAT; WILL PASS WINTER IN CALF. Of the many speculators who have large sums of money in the wheat market in the last few months, James Lowman, the owner of a small farm near Earl Park, in Benton county, Indiana, has cleared the most money in that part of the state. He admits that he is ahead more than $90,000. Lowman started to buy wheat when it was selling at $1.25 a bushel and unloaded a short time ago when it was selling at over $1.60. He decided that he had made enough in speculation and will pass the remainder of the winter in California. He says that this is the first time he had speculated on a large scale. He attributes his good luck to studying the market conditions that prevailed six months ago.
