PEOPLE EMPHATICALLY EXPRESS DISAPPROVAL OVERWHELMING VOTE FOR DISINCORPORATION OF ANAHEIM STORM WATER DISTRICT 783 VOTERS DECISIVELY GIVE VOICE FOR ITS ABOLITION ONLY 82 AGAINST The voters and taxpayers of the Anaheim Storm Water District registered a decisive and emphatic vote in favor of disincorporation of the district on Friday. The total number of votes cast was 865. Of this number 783 were in favor of disincorporation and 82 voted against the proposition. The vote by precincts was as follows: Precinct One—For 402. Against 55. Precinct Two—For 381. Against 27. A member of the election board at the city hall precinct expresses the opinion that of the 55 votes cast against disorganization, not more than twelve were probably intended to be so voted. A number of voters asked for explanations as to the character of the ballot and this gentleman states that there existed considerable confusion in their minds as to the proper methods of marking it. The Storm Water District should never have been formed. The methods of procedure used in its formation were criticized and condemned on all sides by people included within its area. At its inception many property owners were eliminated when protested at $10,000,000 upward. The suit, which was tried last June, argued in July and briefs filed in December, was decided by Judge Myers in favor of Los Angeles Saturday. The suit was to correct a survey or, as Attorney Burke put it, to control a description in the patent granted by the United States government to the Sepulvedas in confirmation of a Mexican grant of the Rancho Palo Verdes issued nearly half a century ago, pursuant to a survey made a decade of years previously. The Sepulvedas claimed the land under a Mexican grant of 1847, which was included in the decree of confirmation, but excluded in the survey made. The court upheld the city's title to the land. This removes the cloud on the title and permits the city to go ahead with its harbor work. The suit originally brought by the heirs of Juan and Loreto Sepulveda. The land lies between San Pedro Ferry and Wilmington, and in view of the harbor improvement it became immensely valuable. As a matter of fact, the court was unable to accurately say how many millions the tract is worth. ROBBER OF HENROOSTS SUDDENLY ENCOUNTERED Had Taken One Load Home and Was After Second When Caught, No Arrest When a well-known resident of East Sycamore street entered his yard one evening recently he encountered a man, who lives not a great distance from him, in the act of stealing his chickens and putting them into a small wagon.

The methods of procedure used in its formation were criticized and condemned on all sides by people included within its area. At its inception many property owners were eliminated when protest was made to be excluded. From time to time this elimination process was continued until a mere skeleton of the original area remained. Those who had been left out of the district as originally formed put up tax money in escrow to pay their pro-rata of tax upon an approximate assessment of $10,000. This, it is maintained, paved the way for injunction proceedings should, perchance, the district ever be formed and attempt to do any river protection work. The city limits of Anaheim constituted 75 per cent of the taxable wealth of the district. The assessed valuation of all property in the district is $1,710,960. To attempt to do any substantial protection work in the river within this district would entail an enormous expenditure of money, as anyone conversant with the erratic Santa Ana river in stormy weather well knows. To place this tax upon this small district would be almost prohibitive. To meet an approximate assessment of, say $100,000, the tax rate would be $5.90 on the $100. This would tread very near confiscation. A bill now pending in the legislature giving counties the power to provide river protection might afford relief, and it is to be hoped that favorable legislation may result from the deliberations of the law makers at Sacramento looking to this end. To confine storm waters in the Santa Ana river in a narrow channel to pass under the new Olive bridge, now in course of construction, would be a feat of engineering that might cause federal authority considerable concern, and to suppose that a small storm water district would be equal to the occasion, is to cause merriment. It is given out by competent authority that a stream of water of 100 inches to traverse 1000 feet must be raised at its head to an elevation of 8 feet to overcome friction. This ratio gradually becomes less, After Second When Caught, No Arrest When a well-known resident of East Sycamore street entered his yard one evening recently he encountered a man, who lives not a great distance from him, in the act of stealing his chickens and putting them into a small wagon. He had quite a number and was just about to depart when the owner returned. This was the second load, the man having already taken a load of the hens to his place of residence. Upon being discovered the fellow begged for mercy and asked that he be not arrested. He was made to return all of the chickens and was allowed to depart. It would be interesting to know how far this man has gone in robbing henroosts. No complaint has been sworn out for his arrest, but some action may be taken by the authorities. AUSTRALIAN COMING At least five months will be taken up by the Australian boys in touring the western slopes of America. In that period approximately 50 to 60 towns and cities will be visited. The advance manager of the party, Mr. Ernest Shacklock (in writing from San Francisco) voiced his gratification at the numerous offers of co-operation from leading citizens and the whole-hearted support promised by chief citizens of many cities in California. The party is an entirely different one from which toured the United States, Canada and Great Britain three years ago. It is made up of practically babes 11 years old to youths of 19 years, whose chief characteristics are soundness mentally and physically and whose aptitude for, and records in Australia's sporting circles, provides the organizers of this venture good material to train them in musical, gymnastic and elecutionary departments. The idea for the training is in order that the party may help relieve the heavy financial strain of this undertaking. No effort has been too great, no expense too high so that the evening performance, made up of band items, solos, quartettes and chorus, may be pleasing to American audiences. The brass band is exceptionally well spoken of my musical critics, ranking as it does with the best bands of Australia and the foremost boys' bands of the country. PLENTIFUL SUPPLEMENT Domestic Wells East More Water Now Years Jacob Morningstar from his ranch east day. He reported that water flowing at caused by the rainfall and by the melting mountains. He says water in that it was last year; it was 2 feet higher vicious period in its water in a more or less flow past the last December. That there is a plentiful terrain in the ground in. In speaking of waters of the Santa narrow channel, he opinion that the low county, receiving of water in a body, suffer considerable snow now, the water spread area in the river force to a great exalive rainfall. If water district in work tempted to confine within a narrow channel would later on do swift current, to prer levels, Mr. Morrison number of prospects would be the result.

It is given out by competent authority that a stream of water of 100 inches to traverse 1000 feet must be raised at its head to an elevation of 8 feet to overcome friction. This ratio gradually becomes less, the further distance the water flows, and as there are 5280 feet in a mile, and the river bed is at least three miles from the center of town, it can be readily seen that people in this section are practically immune from any threatened overflow of the Santa Ana river. Some unforeseen cataclysm of nature might precipitate an overflow east of town, in the riverbed's present condition, but such a condition is entirely remote, as our normal rainfall is a bare 15 inches a year. The silt deposited on lands adjacent to the west bank of the Santa Ana during an occasional overflow of the river during wintry weather, is beneficial to the soil, and many land owners east of town are anxious for this sediment which is one of the finest kinds of fertilizer. Many of the land owners on the east side near the river want this overflow. No damage ever resulted from this much heralded overflow, which is considerably of a myth.

Fullerton and the Harris & Franks of Los Angeles are the victims. Fullerton defeated the Anaheim team a couple of weeks ago which proves that those boys carry a rabbit's foot with them as they are not in the same class with the Anaheim team, but it will not avail them in Sunday's game. At 12:30 o'clock there will be a parade through the principal streets, headed by the Anaheim band. The first game will begin promptly at 1 o'clock, and Mayor J. H. Cook will pitch the first ball. It is to be hoped he is not an accurate enough thrower to get the ball over the plate so the Fullerton batter can annex a home run. After dressing up Fullerton, which will require probably an hour and a half, the locals will turn their attention to the Harris & Frank aggregation. Both games are expected to be speedy and full of interest. Anaheim now has a swift ball team and it deserves the support of the town. These are the first games to be played on the new grounds, and as good music and good ball are both promised there should be a large attendance. Ladies are admitted free to the grand stand.

Berger, the well-known Cu PLENTIFUL SUPPLY OF WATER IN GROUND Domestic Wells East of Town Register More Water Now Than for Several Years Past Jacob Morningstar was in town from his ranch east of town on Tuesday. He reported quite a stream of water flowing at the Olive bridge, caused by the rainfall of Sundy night, and by the melting snows up in the mountains. He says water in his well is higher that it was last year at this time, when it was 2 feet higher than at any previous period in its history. He says water in a more or less quantity has flowed past the Olive bridge since last December. This is an indication that there is a plentiful supply of water in the ground in the upper valleys. In speaking of confining the flood waters of the Santa Ana river into a narrow channel, he inclines to the opinion that the lower sections of the county, receiving this large volume of water in a body, would undoubtedly suffer considerable damage. As it is now, the water spreads out over a wide area in the river bed, thus losing its force to a great extent during excessive rainfall. If we had a storm water district in working order, and attempted to confine these flood waters within a narrow channel, and the same would later on do damage, by its swift current, to property in the lower levels, Mr. Morningstar believes a number of prospective damage suits would be the result. HEAVY FRUIT YIELDS We frequently hear of the heavy yield of one fruit or nut tree, or some times of an acre of trees, and while these reports are true they are misleading. Trees so yielding are grown under exceptional conditions, in unusually fertile soil, with proper moisture and are no more to be considered as an average, or even a common possibility, than would the yield of a small greenhouse be taken as a sample of what could be done on ten acres. These statements of very heavy are the first games to be played on the new grounds, and as good music and good ball are both promised there should be a large attendance.

The heavy rainfall is directly responsible for the unusually heavy decay, and coming as it has, with only a few days between heavy downpours, has undoubtedly caused careless handling in an endeavor to get shipments out between rains. At the present writing the prospects are far more rain. "With clear weather prevailing there will be a tendency to send heavy shipments forward, as growers are anxious to move their fruit. This will mean that greater care must be exercised in the distribution if glutted markets are "Prices on sound fruit have held up fairly well, and it is only the decayed fruit that has resulted in bringing down market values. "The lemon market is lower, with practically no demand. Pickings are heavy, and large quantities of lemons are being stored. What the future holds in store in the way of lemon prices is problematical and depends a great deal upon the quantity of foreign lemons imported. "Owing o the European war, practically the only outlet for Italy's surplus of 8,000 car loads of lemons has been the United States, and, while recent importations have not been heavy, owing to a shortage of box shocks, there are no means of knowing when heavy importations will again come forward." "California's lemon crop is estimat- yield of one fruit or nut tree, or some times of an acre of trees, and while these reports are true they are misleading. Trees so yielding are grown under exceptional conditions, in unusually fertile soil, with proper moisture and are no more to be considered as an average, or even a common possibility, than would the yield of a small greenhouse be taken as a sample of what could be done on ten acres. These statements of very heavy yield are interesting as showing what is possible, but no one about to enter into fruitgrowing as a business should pay any attention to them. The safe thing to do is to ascertain the average yield, cost of production and prices paid, and the balance will tell what may reasonably be expected. There is no great or sudden fortune to be made out of any class of fruit-growing, nor in any branch of agriculture for that matter, but with intelligence, good business judgment and management. Some men do better than others, but any one can do well under proper conditions. If you read of a man clearing $1000 per acre from one acre or less of olives, walnuts or other trees, do not arrange for setting out an orchard of ten or 20 acres of such trees in the expectation of doing as well from each acre and rolling in wealth when your trees come into bearing. If your trees net you $100 or even $50 per acre, over and above the cost of upkeep, you will have a pretty good business to hold on to. These stories about enormous yields while probably true, are worse than false for they are misleading and sometimes lead the ambitious but unthinking astray.
