IN DARKEST RUSSIA An almost unbelievable story of misery and privation is that told by Lleut. Metro Swartzkoponsky, an escaped Siberian prisoner, who lectured to a large audience in the opera house Saturday evening. This man was an officer in the Russian army, and for refusing to order his men to fire on the Russian populace at the Nevsky Prospect in St. Petersburg in 1895, he was court martialed and sentenced to solitary confinement in Siberia for life. The day is known as bloody Sunday. 200,000 Russian people in peaceable procession were marching to the Winter palace to intercede with the Czar for amelioration of their starving condition. Many regiments of soldiers were stationed along the thoroughfare, and orders were given to arise upon the people. 15,000 were thus ruthlessly murdered. Swartzkoponsky refused to obey the order. His company of 400 soldiers was fired upon by the soldiery, and he returned the fire upon them. He was knocked unconscious, taken to Moscow, tried by court martial and sentenced to perpetual exile. In company of thousands of other exiled wretches he was shackled and compelled to walk a distance of 2500 miles to Kara, where he was placed in solitary confinement. Here he remained for eleven months, enduring hardships that an American would not met out to a dog. He was debarred forever from conversing with the superiors. PLACENTIA-Yorba road, the Yorba-Linda-Ollinda road, the La Habra road and the Stanton road. Besides this $40,000 is appropriated for the Garden Grove-Westminster road, $8000 for the Garden Grove strip to Orangethorpe, and $66,000 for the canyon road. These highways are of inestimable benefit to this section of the county. More than $150,000 of the surplus is to be expended in this district, or on roads that will benefit the district. The amended report gave the second supervisor district a one-mile stretch at Wintersburg and .60 of a mile at Smeltzer. In addition to this the supervisors have advertised for bids for paving the road between this city and Olive, which was included in the original system but was held in abeyance awaiting the action of the Anaheim storm water district. The district was dissolved without performing the functions for which it was organized but the supervisors overlooked this piece of negligence and ordered the road paved. While the people of the northern end of the county believed they were unjustly treated when the original highway fund was parcelled out, they are new willing to bury all differences and animosity. Their claims have been recognized in the distribution of the surplus fund, and this will serve to salve their wounded feelings over their previous treatment. USE MAILS TO DEFRAUD Through the efforts of the commission of immigration and housing of California the federal grand jury has returned indictments against Walter E. Schwartz and Ralph Schwarz, brothers, for using the United States mail to defraud. They swindled hundreds of immigrants all through the United States by selling false documents.

On the journey nine of his party died, among them being two women. As he ran out of the church he was sabred in the face by a Cossack officer. As he ran a portion of his index finger was shot off, but he and his comrades managed to escape. His wanderings following his break for freedom sound more like a story of fiction than of real life. He made his way to Odessa, thousands of miles away and sought for his wife, whom he found in that city married to another man. His meeting with her was most pathetic, but she bade him go saying that while she was most unhappy, she could not bear to think of his recapture and his re-consignment to a living tomb. He made his way to Berlin and London and came to this country, where he has taken out papers for American citizenship. He is devoting his time, and his stories of misvoting his time to lecturing to the American people, and his stories of miscruel treatment by the Russian government to its people are most heart rending. His father was assassinated when Swartzkopensky was 7 years of age. His mother still resides in Russia and his son is a non-commissioned officer in the army at Warsaw. He corresponds with this young man, and hopes one day to meet him in free America. The Russian government pays its soldiers 11 cents per month. The Russian ruble, worth in times of peace 50 cents, has depreciated to 30 cents. Russia's national debt amounts to $6,700,000,000, which bears 4 per cent, the annual interest payment being $228,000,000. Russia has placed 7,000,000,000,000 men in the field, and of this colossal army half have been lost in action, in killed, wounded and taken prisoners. USE MAILS TO DEFRAUD Through the efforts of the commission of immigration and housing of California the federal grand jury has just returned indictments against Walter E. Schwartz and Ralph Schwarz, brothers, for using the United States mail to defraud. They swindled hundreds of immigrants all through the United States by selling fake San Francisco property, which, in reality, proved to be wild, inaccessible, mountainous waste, two miles from Tobin station on the line of the Ocean Shore Railway and fifteen miles south of San Francisco. This, according to the work planned by the commission, is only the beginning of a campaign against California land sharks. The evidence on which the Schwarz brothers were indicted was gathered by employees of the commission of immigration and housing who worked as selling agents for the company. These men were given instructions by the Schwarz brothers to represent the brush grown wilderness as city property, much of the incriminating evidence being in letters written as selling instructions to the agents. Most of the persons swindled were immigrants and for that reason the work of investigation and prosecution was undertaken by the commission. The first complainant was Gust Cosolos, who bought two lots for $249. An agent from Schwarz brothers called on him in Washington, where he was living in a Greek colony, representing the lots to be city property, within a short distance of San Francisco's business center, and reached by street car for five cents. The agent displayed maps showing paved streets, concrete slidewalks and other public improvements. Cosolos, when testifying, said that when he bought the lots he was a bit afraid he might get lost in the mazes of his metropolis. Eventually he did get lost but not in city streets. It was among brush covered slopes and rocky gulches of Tobin Park. The place proved to be a wilderness; an hour's ride from San Francisco; two up-hill country miles from the railroad station; and the round-trip fare was seventy-five cents instead of ten cents. Tobin Park proved to be a natural park, a camping ground instead of town lots. One would have to be as resourceful as Joe Knowles, the nature man, to live Santa Ana, CA.

This man is perpetually followed by Russian spies, and in San Francisco some weeks ago a trap was laid to murder him. He has private advices from Warsaw stating that two months ago 305 Jews were murdered by Cossacks on a trumpeted-up charge that they were opposed to war. DIFFERENCES SETTLED By amicable agreement the difference of opinion between the board of supervisors and the highway commission relative to the disposition of the $246,000 surplus road fund has been sponged away, and the work of paving the roads designated will be taken up promptly. The agreement was reached last Wednesday evening after the supervisors had returned the report to the commissioners for modification. The only change suggested by the supervisors was the addition of four stretches of road. To these additions the highway commissioners unanimously subscribed and their amended report was adopted by the supervisors at 5 o'clock Wednesday evening. The third supervisor district has certainly been fairly treated in the distribution of this fund, and to Commissioner McFadden who has steadfastly stood for justice for the northern end of the county, belongs the credit. He secured for this section the Eventually he did get lost but not in city streets. It was among brush covered slopes and rocky gulches of Tobin Park. The place proved to be a wilderness; an hour's ride from San Francisco; two up-hill country miles from the railroad station; and the round-trip fare was seventy-five cents instead of ten cents. Tobin Park proved to be a natural park, a camping ground instead of town lots. One would have to be as resourceful as Joe Knowles, the nature man, to live there. Tobin Park lots sold from $27.50 to $250 apiece, although the agents were cautioned not to sell for more than $50, as purchasers were not apt to make trouble if swindled out of comparatively small amounts. Agents who wanted to see, the land before starting on their selling tour throughout the United States, were advised not to by Schwarz brothers, who frankly admitted they had never seen the lots themselves. They thought the psychological effect would be better if the agents described the property without visiting it. The date of the trial of Schwarz brothers has not yet been set.

Other Anaheimers who took part in the evening's entertainment were Mrs. G. H. Goodale, Miss Veda Walker, Miss Ethel Gibbs and F. W. Schmidt. Agriculture issued this message on February 17: The 1914 wheat crop States was estimated at 800 bushels. The est carried over from them about 76,000 000 bushels therefore, a total average of 967,000,000 bushels annual per capita of wheat in the United States. 5.3 bushels, 520,000,000 meet our normal documents for food; in an 800 bushels are required seeding. Six hundred bushels, therefore, show normal domestic demand leave a surplus of 375. Of this surplus, about 245 were exported by Jelft 147,000,000 bushels more than our average for the past five years tween February 1 and of the new crop, or for into the next crop year is sufficient to permit nearly 1,000,000 bushels July 1, before which crop will be gin to be about the average rate. The large demand arises from the fact an estimated world's size is 400,000,000 bushels outsided States, from the fact san exportable surplus bushels is not available from the fact that these are eager to secure If it were not for this should be discussing with disposing of our treasured food products. As has been stated, can crop will begin to grow.

The contractors notified their foreman to move their equipment off the job. The bridge has degenerated into a joke. Money was voted for its construction four years ago, but work was delayed for one cause or another, until the middle of the past winter, when flood waters coming down the channel so interfered with operations that work had several times to be suspended. Cement piles which were to be driven to a depth of 25 to 30 feet, were not driven to that depth, and it is said protruding tops were dynamited off. The bridge is 600 feet long, standing in the middle of the river channel, and is presumed to take the place of the old bridge, which was 1600 feet long, until a section 500 feet on the east side was torn out and filled in with earth by Supervisor Struck. On Tuesday the board of supervisors received the following communication from County Surveyor McBride: Santa Ana, Cal., Mar. 9, 15 "To the Board of Supervisors: 'This is to notify you that all laborers on the Anaheim-Olive reinforced concrete bridge have stopped work this date, and Mr. Trounce, of the firm of Trounce & Stoecker, the contractors, has given instructions to the foreman to haul the equipment off the job. 'J. L. McBride, County Surveyor.' Claims totaling $3624.06 have been filed with the supervisors against available 100,000,000 bushels. A surplus of 75,000,000 bushels or more from India will be available in May and June. The increase in the fall-sown wheat acreage of the United States in 1914 was 11.1 per cent, or over 4,000,000 acres; in the Northern Hemisphere generally the acreage of winter wheat shows an increase of from 3 to 33 per cent, as follows: Per cent Denmark . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

There is a great surplus in other food crops in the United States, a number of which can be used as substitutes. Wheat does not constitute more than 12 per cent of the normal diet, about the same as poultry and eggs. Meat and dairy products constitute 48 per cent; vegetables, 31 per cent; fruits, nuts, sugar, fish and other items the remaining 19 per cent. There are large supplies of corn and other grains, meat animals, dairy products, potatoes, and fruit at the opening of 1915 than for many years. The most important competing products are corn and potatoes. This is shown by the fact that while the normal consumption of wheat is 5.3 bushels, in Maine it is only 4.7 bushels and in Michigan 5. In the wheat growing states, where wheat is abundant, such as Minnesota, the average is 7.2, whereas in the South, where corn is much used, the average is 4 bushels. Normally about 3 per cent of the corn crop is consumed as food. Of our total crop about 80,000,000 bushels would be used as food. Of our total crop about 80,000,000 bushels would be used for food.

An Orange paper deduces from the result of the San Fernando track meet last week that the team from that city will win in the contest on the Anaheim grounds Saturday. The Orange boys made 5 points at San Fernando, whereas Anaheim was credited with only 18, and from this fact it is perfectly clear to the Orange scribe that his champions will win the cup at the county track meet. He confesses that Anaheim is the most formidable rival of Orange. Mr. and Mrs. John Bauer of Prescott, Arizona, have returned to Anaheim and are guests of Mr. and Mrs. Adolph Thomas. Mr. Bauer was former master brewer of the Union Brewery, but left Anaheim some four years ago. He was engaged in the brewing business in Prescott but the recent adoption of prohibition in that state put him out of business. He is looking for other business openings and hopes to locate in Anaheim or its vicinity. RETURNED TO SACRAMENTO Senator J. N. Anderson and Assemblyman J. C.

'J. L. McBride, County Surveyor.' Claims totaling $3624.06 have been filed with the supervisors against Trounce & Stoecker the contractors who have been building the bridge. The firm has $1807 coming from the county on the contract, according to Surveyor McBride. The room of the supervisors on Tuesday was crowded with men who have been at work on the bridge, some of them without having received a dollar of their wages. Material men were represented among them. It is understood that workmen on the bridge have not been paid any money and when they learned on Monday that there would not be enough money coming to the contractors to pay off all bills they quit work in a body.

NO SHORTAGE OF FOODSTUFFS LIKELY The United States Department of Agriculture issued the following statement on February 17: The 1914 wheat crop of the United States was estimated to be 891,000-000 bushels. The estimated surplus carried over from the 1913 crop was about 76,000 000 bushels. There was, therefore, a total available supply of 967,000,000 bushels. As the normal annual per capita consumption of wheat in the United States is about 5.3 bushels, 520,000,000 bushels should meet our normal domestic require- THE "ROBBER TARRIFF" WAS TO BLAME Somewhere we have read—it happens to be in an Eastern newspaper—that republican defeats in the presidential elections of 1892 and 1912 were due in very large part to the McKinley and the Payne-Aldrich tariff bills passed shortly before those years. Now were they? Not exactly. To be more accurate the republican defeats of those years were due to misrepresentations of the tariff, which was blamed for everything and given credit for nothing. Discontent is not the product of the struggle against adversity, but seems to be more prevalent in prosperity, when the mind is relaxed from the multitudinous perplexities incident to making ends meet. For example, the McKinley tariff, under which the country flourished, was blamed for fostering monopolies—making the rich richer and the poor poorer. And this idea was so persistently hammered into the people by those who wished to supplant the republican party in power that many people came to believe it. Shoes advanced in price, and this was attributed to the tariff on hides. Hides were admitted to free duty, and the price of leather advanced and wheat is 5.3 bushels, in Maine it is only 4.7 bushels in Michigan 5. in the wheat growing states, where wheat is abundant, such as Minnesota, the average is 7.2, whereas in the South, where corn is much used, the average is 4 bushels. Normally about 3 percent of the corn crop is consumed as food. Of our total crop about 80,000,000 bushels would be used as food. Of our total crop about 80,000,000 bushels would be used as food.

CERTIFICATE OF BUSINESS UNDER FICTITIOUS FIRM NAME We, the undersigned, do hereby certify that we are partners, engaged in the business of manufacturing cement pipe, doing general concrete work, selling and dealing in gravel, and doing general team work, with headquarters at the Baxter & Beck Pipe Yards, located about four miles East by North of City of Anaheim, in the County of Orange, State of California, under the firm name of Baxter & Beck, and the names in full and residences of the memphis of such firm... Agriculture issued the following statement on February 17: The 1914 wheat crop of the United States was estimated to be 891,000,000 bushels. The estimated surplus carried over from the 1913 crop was about 76,000,000 bushels. There was therefore, a total available supply of 967,000,000 bushels. As the normal annual per capita consumption of wheat in the United States is about 5.3 bushels, 520,000,000 bushels should meet our normal domestic requirements for food; in addition, 90,000,000 bushels are required annually for seeding. Six hundred and ten million bushels, therefore, should supply the normal domestic demand. This would leave a surplus of 375,000,000 bushels. Of this surplus, about 210,000,000 bushels were exported by January 30. This left 147,000,000 bushels, or 40,000,000 more than our average annual export for the past five years, for export between February 1 and the appearance of the new crop, or for carring over into the next crop year. The amount is sufficient to permit the export of nearly 1,000,000 bushels a day until July 1, before which time the new crop will be gin to be available. This is about the average recent exportation. The large demand for our wheat arises from the fact that there was an estimated world's shortage of over 400,000,000 bushels outside of the United States, from the fact that the Russian exportable surplus of 100,000,000 bushels is not available generally, and from the fact that the belligerent nations are eager to secure food supplies. If it were not for these things, we should be discussing ways and means of disposing of our tremendous surplus of food products. As has been stated, the new American crop will begin to appear before July. The Argentine crop is now coming on the market. It is estimated that from that source there will be under which the country flourished, was blamed for fostering monopolies—making the rich richer and the poor poorer. And this idea was so persistently hammered into the people by those who wished to supplant the republican party in power that many people came to believe it. Shoes advanced in price, and this was attributed to the tariff on hides. Hides were admitted to free duty, and the price of leather advanced and shoes were dear than ever. The Payne-Aldrich bill was passed and was followed by phenomenal prosperity. But food prices advanced, and meat went beyond reason. The "robber tariff" was to blame. The democrats elected the present tariff, and food prices soared higher than ever. In addition to this work became scarce and business dull, and conditions worse than ever before. The trouble is that, in their eagerness for the loaves and flashes of power, those who desire a change of administration studiously, persistently and energetically misrepresent the facts, and finally succeed in fooling the people into voting against their own interests.—Pendleton (Ore.)

ADOLPH THOMAS, President, A.B.McCORD, Secretary (Cashler.) STILL MAKING ADDITIONS The first improvement for the year for the La Habra Citrus association is completed and now being made ready for occupancy in the form of one addition to the east end of the main building. The improvement will be followed by another later during the year as the association expects to build this fall, thereby practically doubling the floor space. The addition, 80x90 feet, was built at a cost of $3500. Construction began 23 days ago, the contract time being 45 days. The building is one of the one-story type and will be used for the storing and receiving of lemons. The addition includes four sweat rooms and acts as on outlet from crowded conditions in the main building, 81x157 feet, with a basement under all. Fullerton is revising its litney buss ordinance. The present ordinance provides a license of $200 per year for the first machine and $1 per year for each additional. The proposed law will fix $5 per quarter for the first and $2.50 per quarter for each additional bus. A BOLD, BAD MAN For a short time Tuesday morning it was believed a visitor would start in to shoot up the city of Fullerton. John Schoulder, of Mesa Grande, Arizona, landed here right side up after having visited the San Diego fair. He went to Tom Martin's lunch counter and ordered breakfast. As he gave his order, he placed on the counter a seven-shooter that looked like a Gatling gun. "Now if there is any delay on my order I'll use that 'talker' quick," said Schoulder. There was no delay. City Marshal French came along and nabbed the visitor on a charge of carrying a concealed siege gun without a license. Schoulder pleaded guilty and did not seem to think he had done anything out of the way. Judge Inskeep heard the evidence and said "180 days in the county jail for you John, remember you can get a meal in Fullerton on time without using an Ever-ready Krupp Gatling gun." The man was taken to Santa Ana to serve his sentence.
