RETURN TO PARTY SYSTEM The news comes from the north that the state of Washington, one of the pioneers on the so-called progressive movement, and one of the first experiments in the field of strenuous radicalism, has learned its lesson and will return to the party convention plan as the best possible method of making known the wishes of the people in matters political. Washington people had an idea that party organization was a menace to free institutions, and all that sort of thing, but time and experience have cooled them off very materially and they have learned a thing or two in regard to theory and practice. The Washington people have discovered that there is nothing in the claim that politics is purer under the primary system, and, in fact, they are now of opinion that government under the primary idea is more costly and less efficient. Incidentally they now believe that the recall system is considerable of a farce, and day after day they have seen advertisements in their papers inserted by gentlemen who absolutely guaranteed for a stipulated 3 cents per name to secure sufficient signatures to a recall for any official, town county or state, no matter how proficient, but then that is another story and is only mentioned here to show how well the Washington citizens have learned that many The government has issued a proclamation opening the Standing Rock Indian Reservation to settlement, according to word received from Washington. This reservation is in both South and North Dakota. A new system is to be used which does away with the old lottery system used at Rosebud and other places. The land will be open to inspection from May 3 to May 19 and filing may be made on the latter date. In the event there are more than one applicant for the same piece of land, then these contestants will draw lots. In North Dakota the filings will be made at Bismarck and in South Dakota at Timber Lake. There is 1,300,000 acres in the reservation, but after the state has taken its share, and with the Indian allotments made, there remains 300,000 acres for settlement. Many and varied are the souvenirs that are to be prepared for the Panama-Pacific exposition by the federal government. They range from coin and medals to engraved and printed diplomas and work on some of them is already under way. The diplomas, which are to be made at the bureau of engraving and printing, are now being made but none, thus far, have been accepted. The medals are to be made at the Philadelphia mint and the coins at the San Francisco mint. HENRY FORD'S VIEWS ON LABOR It is a fact significant of the miraculous growth of the motor car industry that the most prominent figure today in the U.S. Governments efforts to reconcile capital and labor should be a motor car manufacturer. That man is Henry Ford of Detroit. And the testimony which he recently gave to the Federal Industrial Commission.

Incidentally they now believe that the recall system is considerable of a farce, and day after day they have seen advertisements in their papers inserted by gentlemen who absolutely guaranteed for a stipulated 3 cents per name to secure sufficient signatures to a recall for any official, town county or state, no matter how proficient, but then that is another story and is only mentioned here to show how well the Washington citizens have learned that many of the so-called reforms look fairly well as far as theory are concerned but in practice develop into a horse of another color. In view of what the state of Washington has learned along the line of practical politics in the past few years, the legislature passed a bill to reestablish the party convention and in other respects to strengthen the party organization. Governor Lister, himself a furious radical who has thus far refused to see the light and as steadily refused to see the handwriting on the wall, promptly vetoed the bill. Then a legislature more recently elected and more directly representative of the popular judgment as it stands today, just as promptly repassed the bill over the governor's veto. And so the state of Washington is to return to a practice founded upon the idea that the party system is an essential fundamental element in representative government. The plan is not a return to the old practice precisely but the party organization is again to live and the party convention is again to speak for the people. The people of Washington are of the opinion that the return to the convention will avoid political confusion, save expense, and come much nearer to placing power in the hands of the people than has the primary. Washington thoroughly tried out the non-partisan idea and now gives it up as impractical. The action of that state comes as a timely commentary upon the plan of those who would destroy the party system in California. One hundred thousand tons of war supplies, guns, ammunition, automobiles, provisions and hospital supplies left New York on Saturday in the holds of seven steamers bound for ports in Northern and Southern Europe. The Adriatic carried 18,000 tons, the largest single shipment of provisions ever stowed on one steamer. HENRY FORD'S VIEWS ON LABOR It is a fact significant of the miraculous growth of the motor car industry that the most prominent figure today in the U.S. Governments efforts to reconcile capital and labor should be a motor car manufacturer. That man is Henry Ford of Detroit. And the testimony which he recently gave to the Federal Industrial Commission, was easily the most impressive and convincing that has been offered. A burst of applause swept through the aldermanic chamber in the old New York city hall when Mr. Ford testifying, said quietly: "We will guarantee to take every man out of Sing Sing and make a man out of him." In explaining the purposes and the actual results of the stupendous Ford profit sharing plan Mr. Ford said: "If employers of labor have a genuine interest in the improvement of the condition of labor, no conditions that are irksome or distasteful will be laid on the men." This is even more to the point: "We cannot expect a man to give us his best efforts when he is in debt and has not enough to keep his family on." Naturally, some of the representatives of capital and large employers present at the session were curious to know whether this distribution in one year of about $10,000,000 of Ford profits "really paid or not." Mr. Ford smiled and said: "I don't know how you would figure that out; however, there has been an increase between 15 and 20 per cent efficiency since the inauguration of the $5 a day minimum wage, and the profit-sharing plan." It is interesting to see how that estimate of the increased efficiency, between 15 and 20 per cent, is born out in the production of Ford cars. Last year the Ford Motor Company manufactured and delivered 249,349 cars. This year, between August 1st, 1914, and August 1st, 1915, 300,000 yards will be manufactured and sold at retail, and that accomplished, Ford purchasers will share in Ford profits. To reach the 300,000 marke means an increase of about 20 per cent over last year's production. Ford production for August, September, October and November showed an increase of just about 100 per cent over the corresponding period of last year.

The Adriatic carried 18,000 tons, the largest single shipment of provisions ever stowed on one steamer. Her decks were lined with auto trucks numbering sixty. On the Cunard liner Orduna's deck were lashed two 14-inch guns measuring 53 feet long and 60 inches wide at the breech. In her hold were other pieces of ordnance. Statistics published in Petrograd concerning losses to property in Russian Poland as a result of the German invasion, forwarded to Reuter's Telegram company, give the total number of towns and larger villages destroyed as 95. It is said that 4500 small villages were devastated, 1000 of them having been burned. The figures apply to 10 Polish provinces. The damage is estimated at more than $500,000,000. The international postal money order service fell off 33 1-2 per cent during the first quarter of the fiscal year 1915, according to a statement issued by Charles A. Kram, auditor of the department. During the 3 months 554,238 international orders were issued, amounting to $15,164,753, the statement adds, a decrease of 349.225 in number and $10,250,753 in amount from the figures for the same period in 1914. It is noted that the money order business with several European countries was discontinued at the outbreak of the war. Total post-office expenditures for the same period were $72,576,654 and revenues $65.877,035, an increase of $5,421,795 in expenditures and $1,456,271 in revenues over 1914 figures for the same period. RECEIVE BIDS APRIL 5 On April 5 the State Highway Commission will receive bids for the construction of the state highway between Serra and Mateo, along the coast below San Joan Capistrano. The contract will be for a three-mile section, and will include a large amount of excavation. According to the plans of the Highway Commission, the state road along the coast below Serra will be constructed coast of the tracks. That will necessitate cutting out large slices of the bluff. However a more permanent road can be built there though it will cost more, than could be built along the sands west of the Santa Fe tracks. This will be about the last state road contract let in Orange county. The other work is practically all provided for. Contractors are now at work on the sections that cover the distance from Santa Ana to San Juan creek. The state by day labor has done the grading from Mateo to the county line, and will finish the grading from San Juan creek to Serra. A bypass will be kept open along the Serra to Mateo job. Vessel owners sums with their ships and vessels for which glad to get $250, war are not in our day. The Lowthwaite with wheat at H1 $104,520 on her days, and this s $1500 per day.

Half an hour before the opening of the entertainment the auditorium was packed to its utmost capacity, and before eight o'clock the lobby was filled and many people were waiting on the lawns in the hope of catching an occasional stray note from the noted warbler. Madame Yaw was listed on the program for nine performances. They were "The Life of the Rose," "Ah! fors e lui (La Traviata)," "Who is Sylvia?" "Marquese," "May Day," "Spring's Invitation," "California," "The Skylark," "The Mad Scene from Hamlet." She also responded to an encore several times. That her reputation as one of the world's greatest singers is well-deserved, was the verdict of every person in the vast audience. Miss Lucy Seator accompanied the prima donna on the piano. She also interspersed the singing with selections and was persistently enced. She is a wonderful performer on the instrument and added much to the entertainment of the audience. Madame Yaw is an old-time friend of Mrs. E. W. Hauck, and it was through the efforts of the professor that she was secured for this concert. The high school paid all the expenses and no admission was charged. Local Notes A pound ton was born to Mr. and Mrs. Clyde K. Ailing of the Cherry Closson Monday. The value of all the gold produced in the United States from 1792 to January 1, 1914 is estimated at $3,695,195,400; the value of the silver at $1,409,817,600. Members of the Anaheim city band are anxious to have a large crowd at their concert to be given at the auditorium Wednesday evening, March 31. Everybody come. The death of Mrs. Rena McKinnon of Garden Grove occurred Saturday evening. Deceased passed away suddenly of heart failure, and leaves a husband and one son to mourn her death. The business men of Anaheim will hold a meeting at the library Thursday evening at 7:30 to finish up the work left from the last meeting. Every business man is urged to be present. A meeting of the Committee of fifty appointed for the civic center, will be held at the board of trade rooms in the public library building on Friday evening at half-past seven o'clock. An invitation is extended the public to be present and participate in the discussion. While Lyman Vanway and three young ladies from the Emory lease were out riding Tuesday in an auto machine overturned. One of the young ladies was painfully injured and is in the hospital, and one of Mr. Vanway's arms was broken. It is said the other case had not been found at the hour of going to press. A lady living near the bakery heard the boys leaving, her attention being attracted by the rattling of the bottles. Going to a window, she saw in the moonlight, five little kids making away with the provender. Officer Germann has a line on the urchins and will doubtless gather them in. FIVE BAD BOYS ARE BEING SOUGHT Made Away With Two Cases of Grape Soda, Mince Pies and Other Delicacies Officer Germann is looking for five boys whom he charges with effecting an entrance into John Schumacher's soda-water factory on West Center street at 10 o'clock on Tuesday evening, and taking therefrom two cases of grape soda, containing 48 bottles of liquid delight. They are also charged with raiding a delivery wagon standing in the rear of Jensen's bakery, and abractting a number of pies and cakes. The youths prired off an iron bar in the rear of the soda works and entered by way of the window. After securing their booty they made their way along Clemintina street, going north. Turning west in an alley, they came to Palm street, where they enjoyed a feast. Twenty-four empty grape soda bottles were found where the youths had had their picnic, as well as a portion of the mince pies. The other case had not been found at the hour of going to press. A lady living near the bakery heard the boys leaving, her attention being attracted by the rattling of the bottles. Going to a window, she saw in the moonlight, five little kids making away with the provender. Officer Germann has a line on the urchins and will doubtless gather them in. CONVICTS WILL BUILD ROADS Opposition to the Meek convict labor bill has dwindled to almost the vanishing point, and whatever doubt Miss Lucy Seater accompanied the prima donna on the piano. She also interspersed the singing with selections and was persistently enced. She is a wonderful performer on the instrument and added much to the entertainment of the audience. Madame Yaw is an old-time friend of Mrs. E. W. Hauck, and it was through the efforts of the professor that she was secured for this concert. The high school paid all the expenses and no admission was charged. BOLSA GUN CLUB ASKS BIG MONEY Demand $140,000 For Strip of Ground For Coast Boulevard The Bolsa Chico Gun Club wants $140,000 for the strip needed for the coast boulevard between Sunset Beach and Huntington Beach. County Surveyor McBride and the viewers reported to the Board of Supervisors that $10 should be paid, making that as consideration for the deed. It has been known that the gun club objected to having the road go through its property because it would open up their shooting grounds to annoyances. In the hearing before the supervisors Tuesday on the petition of J. A. Armitage and others for the road, the gun club was represented by Attorney S. M. Haskins. He put W. M. Garland, a real estate man of Los Angeles, on the stand. He said that the coast boulevard strip would destroy the value of the strip of land that lies between the marshes and the sea, for residence building. He declared that the property is worth $40 a front foot and is 7000 feet long. District Attorney Eden wanted to know how the land could ever be valuable for residence building until it gets a road into it. Garland said a road could be built on the other side of the P. E. tracks. About sixty names were signed to a protest that was filed. That protest is against building the coast boulevard between Sunset Beach and Huntington Beach. The protestants say that there is no public or private need for the road, that it will be over sandy country and will be expensive to build and keep up. Vessel owners are earning huge sums with their ships during the war, and vessels for which the owners were rooms in the public library building on Friday evening at half-past seven o'clock. An invitation is extended the public to be present and participate in the discussion. While Lyman Vanway and three young ladies from the Emory lease were out riding Tuesday in an auto machine overturned. One of the young ladies was painfully injured and is in the hospital, and one of Mr. Vanway's arms was broken. It is said the car was going about 20 miles an hour when the accident occurred. One of one young ladies was driving the auto. The conclusion of the "Million Dollar Mystery" series which has been running at the Mason was unavoidably postponed until Friday night after being billed for Tuesday owing to the destruction of the film by fire at Globe, Arizona. Manager Beddig had to hustle to get a substitute at the last moment. The anniversary meeting at the Orgethorpe school house last Wednesday evening of the New Idea Embroidery club was a most enjoyable event. Many invitations were given by members of the organization to friends who were not so fortunate as to be listed with them, so that forty people were in attendance and a more congenial company could not be found. The millinery stunt undertaken by the gentlemen proved to be a most amusing entertainment. Some startling combinations appeared, and others were really artistic. When work was completed and judges called they assigned J. A. Schulte to first place. Pablo Real, a Mexican of twenty-five or thirty years of age, ran away with thirteen year old Rieta Neblas last Saturday night, and the young couple are now languishing in confinement. Real in the jail and the girl in the Detention Home. The girl was found Monday night, where she had slept out on the grass near Seventeenth street, Santa Ana, her Lochinvar having deserted her. Pablo was found to be one of the workers in a paving gang and was apprehended on Tuesday. He will be charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor child the father of the girl having sworn to the warrant. P.

Vessel owners are earning huge sums with their ships during the war, and vessels for which the owners were glad to get $250 per day before the war are not in demand at $1600 per day. The Lowther Castle loading with wheat at Portland will earn $104,520 on her next voyage of 70 days, and this sum figures close to $1500 per day. Two years ago such a ship could have been bought for $200,000, and in one or two voyages this year she would pay for her self. The cargo specified for the Lowther Castle outward bound is equal to four 45-car freight trains or 180 freight cars loaded with wheat. It all looks very attractive from the ship owners standpoint, but at that the ship may strike a mine or meet up with the Karlsruhe and go to the bottom in five minutes. Statistics show that copper is produced in 19 different states and Alaska. With the exception only of Pennsylvania and Maryland, the ores produced contain some silver, and in all but 5 states gold also is contained in all the ores.

Chicago leads the cities of America in concrete construction while Seattle is second and Philadelphia third. The west seems to far outloud the east in the use of reinforced concrete. Twenty-five years ago the east set he pace in everything, but now they have to hustle to keep up with the procession. P. Frahm was in town Tuesday afternoon in consultation with local officers in reference to the recovery of his automobile recently stolen here, and which was disposed of by the thieves at Nelson, Arizona. The car had been dismantled to some extent and was also damaged in the wild flight of the men in making their getaway. Local officers have rounded up the three young men who no doubt will be sentenced to prison. Mr. Frahm has taken steps to recover his car. He has sustained quite a loss through this thievery, but is nevertheless glad to be able to get his machine back. Perry Taylor announces that he will commence running stages to Los Angeles the first of the month. DR. J. C. OSHER BEGINS GENERAL PRACTICE OF MEDICINE AND SURGERY Dr. Osher wishes to announce that he will practice medicine and surgery hereafter, together with his special work of eye, ear, nose and throat and oral surgery. Dr. Osher has up to the present time devoted himself exclusively to his special work, as formerly in Chicago for ten years, up to which time he did general practice there. Dr. Osher continues the practice of oral surgery in all that the term involves, notwithstanding the contention by the local member of the dental board. This in no way affects Dr. Osher's future practice here. and a farmer with a week's growth of stubby beard had seated himself in a chair to have his whiskers cropped. "Guess you'll have a time gittin' them off," he remarked, as the barber began rubbing on the lather. "Oh, I don't know," said the barber, carelessly. "All beards look alike to me." "Wunst I went into a barber's shop to git shaved," resumed the farmer, "and after the barber was done and I was payin' him, he remarked, 'Say old man, if all beards was like yourn' I'd quit the barber business.' I sez to him, I sez, 'well, you haven't got anything on me, old man. If all barbers was like you, I'd let my beard grow."

INSIDE INFORMATION WANTED "Um, yes, Ah!" remarked the medico, in his best bedside manner to his patient as they stood in the consulting room. "I'll give you the following prescriptions." And he handed him three small packages. The patient opened them and read the directions. "A powder for my headache," he said aloud; "a pellet for my liver, and a capsule for my gouty foot." Then he stopped and pondered deeply for a moment. "I say, doctor," he queried "how'll the little beggars know the right place to go when they get inside?"

By this measure, which has many friends in the legislature, including representatives from many coast counties, a county or any part of a county may form a district and vote bonds for harbor improvement. When the bill becomes a law this county will immediately improve Newport Harbor. The city of Newport Beach is going to build the jetty on the sandpit side of the entrance to the bay and it will be proposed that the harbor district build the one on the Corona Del Mar side. Bishop who is city attorney for Newport Beach, will have the ordinance looking to an election at which $100,000 bonds will be proposed for building the city's jetty ready for first reading at next meeting. CAUGHT WITH THE GOODS Fred Barnhill's possession of a bicycle which he is charged with having stolen Tuesday morning from Eugene Adams of Santa Ana, was short lived, due principally to the alterness of young Adams who sighted him on the streets of Orange a short time after the alleged theft. Both lads reside in Santa Ana, although Barnhill formerly lived in Orange. Adams went to Orange with Officer Pond of Santa Ana, looking for Barnhill and the bicycle. They sought Marshal Crawshaw at the city hall and not finding him left a description of Barnhill and the wheel. A little later they found Crawshaw in the Plaza. As they were busy telling him about the loss, Adams suddenly gouoted "there he goes now." Barnhill was seen riding rapidly around the Plaza "A woman came to me in Pomona a short time ago," stated Mr. Boggess, "saying that she was looking for J. W. Boggess, a missing relative, and had been attracted to me by the similarity of names. She was from the east and said that the missing man had come from there to Southern California. I was not able to help her in the search." Those in charge of the body and its identification believe that there is now a strong probability of the relatives claiming the body unless they have already abandoned the search and returned east. The man's tragic death and the publicity it has been given should attract the attention of anyone hunting him in this part of the country. NO USE FOR HIM The handsome young minister always stationed himself at the church door after the service, in order to greet his parishoners as they filed out. One Sabbath morning, along came a raw Swedish maid, a stranger, so, with his usual cordiality, the minister grasped her hand and said: "I am very glad to see you here this morning. Will you not tell me your name and address, so that I may call on you soon?" The maid looked him coldly in the eye, and, withdrawing her hand, replied: "Tank you, but I got one steady fella already; he come twice a week, and I tank he no like you to come." Another "power" tae neutrality of which has been violated is Monaco.

As they were busy telling him about the loss, Adams suddenly saunted "there he goes now." Barnhill was seen riding rapidly around the Plaza on the missing wheel and went north on Glassell street as fast as he could pedal. Crawshaw hurried for his motorcycle at the city hall and by the time he was started Barnhill had reached the high school. Crawshaw overhauled him near the end of the pavement at Walnut avenue. Bringing the boy back with him, Crawshaw met Pond and Adams at Maple avenue and turned the prisoner over to them. Barnhill was taken back to Santa Ana. Barnhill is about 16 years of age. When arrested he protested that he had not stolen the bicycle and claimed that he had borrowed it with Adam's permission. He was headed for a point near Olive when Crawshaw overtook him. SEARCHING FOR DEAD MAN Proof that eastern relatives are in Southern California searching for J. W. Boggess, thought to be the man who was found hanging from the limb of a willow tree near the Santa Ana river between Anaheim and Orange last Thursday afternoon, was brought by E. P. Boggess of Pomona who was called to look at the body of the dead man in the belief that he was a brother. Mr. Boggess viewed the body at the Blank & Gillogly undertaking establishment and stated that it was not his brother. He did, however, offer information which may lead to the locating of the dead man's relatives. Another "power" tae neutrality of which has been violated is Monaco.

The prince is for peace—and plenty of rich suckers. The United States has advertised for bids for two dirigible balloons of the Zeppelin type. Count Zeppelin, the inventor of the famous German aircraft which has played such a spectacular part in the European war, sees a scout under General Grant. In the Civil War, and, as such, had his first experience in work aloft, captive balloons then being used for making observations. The exports from New York on Wednesday, March 10, exceeded $10,000,000 in value; breaking all records for a single day in the history of the New York custom house. Whether the goods shipped went to feed the Germans, the Belgians, the Allies or the fish in the Atlantic deponent saith not; but we get the money anyway. The rivers of the United States carry to tidewater every year 270,000,000 tons of dissolved matter and 513,000,000 tons of suspended matter. This total of 783,000,000 tons represents more than 350,000,000 cubic yards of rocks, or 610,000,000 cubic yards of surface soil. The world, no doubt, owes every man a living, but it is not going to send checks. Those who are too lazy to call and collect will become victims of the statute of limitations.
