NEW SALARY BILL APPROVED BY LAWMAKERS LEGISLATURE ADOPTS MEASURE INCREASING PAY OF DEPUTIES AT COURT HOUSE RAISES MADE NECESSARY BY INCREASED LABORS OWING TO GROWTH OF COUNTY The county government bill fixing salaries of public officials of this county passed the legislature and is now before the Governor for his signature. Several additions were made to the bill by Senator Anderson and Assemblyman Burke after it was introduced in January. The January bill provided for a number of increases, including raising the salary of each deputy district attorney from $1200 to $1500. The bill as it has become law raises the salaries of deputies in the clerk's office from $100 a month to $115 and of the chief deputy in the assessor's office from $100 to $115. A radical change is made in the salaries of justices of the peace and constables. Justice Cox gets a raise from $75 a month to $100. Through the classification in the law Justice Armor and Constable Jackson, both of Orange, each has his salary cut from $75 a month to $50. Changes have been made as follows: Clerk: Two court deputies get a raise to $115 each, and in registration years office gets $600 additional experiments have shown, however, that when the ration is kept below 7 pounds a day, steers can be fed for 100 to 120 days upon it without showing ill effects. If silage is given at the same time, as roughage, the feeding of cottonseed meal can be prolonged beyond this time with safety. Silage is a better roughage to use with meal than cottonseed hulls, as experiments in several states have shown that it gives larger daily gains and better finish. For wintering stocker cattle a ration of corn silage and cottonseed meal has proven very economical. Two pounds of the meal combined with as much corn silage as the cattle will eat will give a small gain in weight. Straw and other roughages which cannot otherwise be used advantageously may be fed with the silage and cottonseed meal. When the cattle are put on pasture, cottonseed cake, which is the same as the meal in substance, can be used profitable as a supplementary feed. The cake has several advantages over the meal for this purpose, among others the fact that it is not so readily spoiled by rain. Cottonseed meal is also recommended as a winter ration for the breeding need. About 2 pounds of the meal should be given to the breeding cows per day, together with some silage, stover, and other roughage. This will prove an economical ration and one which will leave the cows in good condition in the spring. The bull also may be fed from 2 to 3 pounds of cottonseed meal combined with some other concentrated feed, but some authorities hold that it is not well to continue this feed too long, as it is believed to have injurious effects upon the breeding powers. Farmers are also warned to feed cottonseed meal very sparingly, if at all, to young calves. This question has not been thoroughly investigated as yet.

Justice Cox gets a raise from $75 a month to $100. Through the classification in the law Justice Armor and Constable Jackson, both of Orange, each has his salary cut from $75 a month to $50. Changes have been made as follows: Clerk: Two court deputies get a raise to $115 each, and in registration years office gets $600 additional help. Recorder: At present has one deputy at $1,000; two at $900 each; one at $720. New law adds one deputy at $720. Auditor: Assistance not over $1200 a year. New law allows assistance up to $1600. Tax Collector: Assistance allowance raised from $1700 a year to $2200. Assessor: Chief deputy's salary raised from $100 a month to $115; Office deputy, $720 a year to $900. District attorney: Two office deputies get raise $100 to $125; stenographer from $60 to $75. Sheriff, treasurer, coroner and public administrator, superintendent of schools, surveyor, supervisors, live stock inspector: No change. Justice of peace and constables: At present in townships with over 8,000 population, $75 a month each; between 5,000 and 8,000, $50; between 2,000 and 5,000, $25; under 2,000 $10. Under new law, in townships over 15,000 population, $100; between 10,000 and 15,000, $75; between 5,00 and 10,000 $50; between 2500 and 5,000, $40; under 2,000, $25. This means a raise for most of the justices and constables of the county. All the small township officers go from $10 to $25. COTTON SEED FOR BEEF Five times as many farmers as at present should be using cottonseed meal, according to specialists in the department of agriculture. It has a slightly greater feeding value than linseed oil meal and the farmer is therefore recommended to secure prices on both and to use the one which happens to be the cheaper at the time. During the past winter cottonseed meal sold for $24 to $28 a ton, while linseed oil meal cost about $38 a ton. Under such conditions the feeder using cottonseed meal had a great advantage over the farmer using linseel oil meal. Cotton seed meal contains from 38 which will leave the cows in good condition in the spring. The bull also may be fed from 2 to 3 pounds of cottonseed meal combined with some other concentrated feed, but some authorities hold that it is not well to continue this feed too long, as it is believed to have injurious effects upon the breeding powers. Farmers are also warned to feed cottonseed meal very sparingly, if at all, to young calves. This question has not been thoroughly investigated as yet, and until more knowledge is at our disposal specialists consider it advisable to be on the safe side. RESOLUTIONS OF CONDOLENCE Brotherhood of American Yeomen Extend Sympathy to Bereaved Friends Whereas the All Wise Providence has seen fit to take from our midst Fred Yoern and he being the husband of Mrs. Elizabeth Yoern a member of our beloved order: The Brotherhood of American Yeomen of Anaheim, California, Be it resolved that we, the members of said order in regular session this 6th day of May, 1915, do hereby extend to our faithful member and her family, our heartfelt sympathy and, were it possible, to help share their burden of sorrow. Be it further resolved that a copy of these resolutions be spread on the minutes of our Homestead, thereby becoming a part of the permanent records of our order. Be it still further resolved that a copy of these resolutions be mailed to the bereaved family also to each of the city papers and to the Yeoman Shield the official organ of our society. Whereas, the All Wise Creator has seen fit to take from our midst the young daughter of our faithful member and brother E. C. Schumway; Be it resolved by the Brotherhood of American Yeomen of Anaheim, California, in regular session on this 6th day of May 1915, that we extend to our good brother and his family our heartfelt sympathy and help them to realize more fully that God works in mysterious ways and that He had a greater work for Helen beyond the line that divides this life from the life which is to come. Be it further resolved that a copy of these resolutions be spread on the office from $100 to $115. A radical change is made in the salaries of justices of the peace and constables. Justice Cox gets a raise from $75 a month to $100. Through the classification in the law Justice Armor and Constable Jackson, both of Orange, each has his salary cut from $75 a month to $50. Changes have been made as follows: Clerk: Two court deputies get a raise to $115 each, and in registration years office gets $600 additional help. Recorder: At present has one deputy at $1,000; two at $900 each; one at $720. New law adds one deputy at $720. Auditor: Assistance not over $1200 a year. New law allows assistance up to $1600. Tax Collector: Assistance allowance raised from $1700 a year to $2200. Assessor: Chief deputy's salary raised from $100 a month to $115; Office deputy, $720 a year to $900. District attorney: Two office deputies get raise $100 to $125; stenographer from $60 to $75. Sheriff, treasurer, coroner and public administrator, superintendent of schools, surveyor, supervisors, live stock inspector: No change. Justice of peace and constables: At present in townships with over 8,000 population, $75 a month each; between 5,000 and 8,000, $50; between 2,000 and 5,000, $25; under 2,000 $10. Under new law, in townships over 15,000 population, $100; between 10,000 and 15, Cotton seed meal contains from 38 to 45 per cent protein and is therefore one of the most concentrated feedstuffs upon the market. There are in fact very few vegetable feeds which have anything like this percentage of protein. Its value has perhaps been more thoroughly appreciated in Europe than in this country, despite the additional cost of shipping it abroad. During 1913, for example, about 400,000 tons of the meal were exported to Europe. Much of what remained in this country was used as a fertilizer, so that it has been estimated that American cattle were fed less than one-half of the total quantity of meal produced in the country. There is, however, a growing tendency at present time to use the meal as a supplementary feed. In a new publication of the department, Farmers' Bulletin 655, Cottonseed Meal for Feeding Beef Cattle, 1 pound of cottonseed meal is said to be usually worth as much as 2 pounds of corn for feeding cattle. There is, however, a distinct limit to the quantity of the meal that animals can use economically. In the South it was formerly the custom to feed steers very heavily on the by-products of the cottonseed oil mills, 12 to 15 pounds of meal a day being a not infrequent ration. Such heavy feeding frequently caused blindness and death, while in other cases the steers, after gaining fast in weight for a period of 90 days or more, lost flesh with equal rapidity and could be with difficulty got back into good condition. Be it resolved by the Brotherhood of American Yeomen of Anaheim, California, in regular session on this 6th day of May 1915, that we extend to our good brother and his family our heartfelt sympathy and help them to realize more fully that God works in mysterious ways and that He had a greater work for Helen beyond the line that divides this life from the life which is to come. Be it further resolved that a copy of these resolutions be spread on the minutes of our society also a copy sent to the bereaved family. Be it still further resolved that a copy of these resolutions be sent to each of the city papers and one to the Yeomen Shield, the official organ of our society. The federal department of commerce takes note of the fact that "California is extending its acreage in walnuts." For several years, as the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce informs the country, "the crop has exceeded 20,000,000 pounds annually." "In the Puente and Covina section 2200 acres are just beginning to bear, 800 acres are in young trees, while a large additional acreage is now being planted." It is a most inviting and attractive future that opens before this industry. Although the crop exceeds 20,000,000 pounds a year, importations show no diminution, thereby proving that the market is growing faster than domestic production. During the fiscal year 1914, 28,000,000 pounds of walnuts were imported, in addition to 9,000,000 pounds of shelled nuts. The total valuation of the importations was $4,300,000.

DEVELOPING MINERALS IN STATE OF NEVADA PLATINUM AND PALLADIUM, USED IN SCIENSE AND JEWELRY, NOW BEING DEVELOPED RESIDUE FROM COPPER MINES YIELDS PRECIOUS METALS IN COMMERCIAL QUANTITIES Platinum and its closely allied metals paradium, iridium, and others are among the few mineral products for which the United States is dependent on foreign countries. Platinum is indispensable to the chemist, and in recent years it has also come into vogue in the manufacture of jewelry. It is extensively used for chains and for the setting of diamonds, the claim being made that the platinum, besides being more resistant than silver and harder than gold, sets off the diamond more effectively. Platinum resembles platinum but has a higher luster, like that of silver, and is used as an alloy with platinum to give this metal increased brilliance and for other technical purposes. The demand for palladium is considerably greater than the supply, and in the last few years the price of platinum and palladium has been double that of gold. It is therefore of interest to learn that platinum and palladium have been found in ores of the Yellow Pine mining district, in Clark county, Nevada. Local Notes Bud Sackett was showing some "color" on Monday evening, which he panned out on a prospect he has located. He does not say where the place is located but is firm in the belief that there is more in sight. He put in Sunday at the new find, which it is presumed is located somewhere in the hills to the east of here, and feels highly elated over the gold streak. He had a small vial containing the small nuggets, and averred when he went out again he would come back with it filled. In that event Bud thinks he will be on Easy street. He has had the prospect in view for some time and this is his first attempt to pan it. Should the dirt turn out to be of value more extensive arrangements will be made to develop the mine, and Bud will be wearing diamonds. The mass meeting to be held Friday evening in Santa Ana, when A. E. Roberts, International Secretary of the Y. M. C. A. will be the speaker has been made even more of an attraction by the securing of two musical organizations for a concert preceding the address. The Santa Ana high school boys glee club, will give two or three numbers and Prof. F. J. Haynes' thirty-five piece orchestra, will render several selections. Indications point to a record breaking attendance on this occasion. Many are going from Orange, Anaheim, Tustin, Placentia, Fullerton and Huntington Beach, for in all of these points there are individuals who have heard Mr. Roberts speak or are acquainted with his work and are anxious to hear him. This appearance of Mr. Roberts is under the auspices of the county Y. M. C. A. This is the annual meeting FURTHER REDUCTION IN SEASON NECESSARY FOR COTTON-TAILS Rabbits may well be considered the game of the farmers and the farmers' sons, writes Harold C. Bryant, game expert, California game and fish commission. It is seldom that the city sportsman goes into the country to hunt rabbits, especially if there is other game. The farmer, on the other hand, when he wishes game for the table, puts his gun over his shoulder and goes out for a rabbit hunt. There are in California representatives which belong to two different divisions of the family. In the high mountains there live two true hares, the snowshoe rabbit and the white-tailed jack rabbit, both of which turn white during the winter. The jack rabbit of our valleys is a near relative of these mountains forms. The smaller cottontails and brush rabbits are sufficiently different from the foregoing to necessitate their being placed in a different genus. Species of cottontails are to be found throughout the United States. In California they are to be found from the Mexican line to the Oregon line, with the exception of the northwest coast region, and from sea level to high in the mountains. Through most of this area these animals are abundant. As a rule cottontail rabbits avoid dense forests and open plains, preferring thickets of brush interspersed among trees with some open ground round about. They use the open ground for feeding and the brush for hiding places when disturbed or when resting. From the true hares, which include the jackrabbits the cottontail is disguised by its much smaller size, shorter ears and the white underside to tall, conspicuous when the animal It is therefore of interest to learn that platinum and palladium have been found in ores of the Yellow Pine mining district, in Clark county, Nevada. The principal find was made at the Boss mine, which is described in Bulletin 620-A, recently issued by the survey. The ore deposits on the Boss claim was discovered some 30 years ago, having been located for copper, the presence of which is plainly indicated by chrysocolla and other oxidized copper minerals. In the nineties a leaching plant was built at Goodsprings, 12 miles from the mine, and an attempt was made to treat the oxidized ore, but the process proved a failure. Not until recently was the gold and platinum content of the ore recognized. The failure to recognize or at least fully to appreciate the gold-bearing character of the ore seems to have been due to the fact that much of the gold is very finely divided and cannot be obtained by panning, and also to the fact that some of the extraordinarily rich material when panned yields a black residue that might easily be and probably was thrown away as worthless black sand. Systematic sampling of the deposit early in 1914 led to full recognition that gold is present in valuable amount, and it was during the course of this sampling that the platinum and palladium content was discovered. The deposit consists of a mass of fine grained quartz inclosed in dolomites of carboniferous age. The precious metals are especially associated with a rare mineral that is known by the rather unwieldy name of plumbojarosite; it is a hydrous sulphate of iron and lead. The mineral is locally known as greenish talc, and this name accurately describes its main physical properties; pockets of the pure mineral carry 100 ounces or more of platinum and palladium and several hundred ounces of gold to the ton. This exceeding richness points to a concentration of the precious metals in the oxidized ore by surface solutions, so that in depth the pockets are extremely high grade ore, such as are now being extracted, will give place to ore of moderate grade. Haynes thirty-five piece orchestra will render several selections. Indications point to a record breaking attendance on this occasion. Many are going from Orange, Anaheim, Tustin, Placentia, Fullerton and Huntington Beach, for in all of these points there are individuals who have heard Mr. Roberts speak or are acquainted with his work and are anxious to hear him. This appearance of Mr. Roberts is under the auspices of the county Y. M. C. A.

Maxwell, executive director of the National Reclamation association, will address the meeting on Safe-Guards Against War and Invasion by a Foreign Power, or by Nature's Destroying Forces. Mr. Maxwell has taken a prominent part in all that pertains to the reclamation of the West, is a splendid platform speaker, and will certainly bring a message well worth hearing. J. R. Stephens of Santa Ana, has sworn to a complaint charging A. T. Nogrady with embezzlement, Nogrady was a salesman for the Avery Investment company, which was sales agent for the Plainview Railway. From the true hares, which include one jackrabbit the cottontail is disguised by its much smaller size, shorter ears and the white underside to tall, conspicuous when the animal runs. The cotton tail differs from the brush rabbit, the smallest of the rabbits, in having longer ears, whiter tail and grayish rather than bluish gray pelage. The breeding season lasts from April to September or sometimes even later. The nest, which is made of leaves and grasses and lined with fur from one mother's own body is usually made in some natural depression under rocks, stumps or weeds or in a shallow burrow. The young, which average about four, are cared for in the nest for about three weeks, after which they are left to shift for themselves. After the young leave the nest the mother appears to take no further interest in her offspring. The male parent is probably never concerned in the rearing of the young. Although the cottontail rabbit appears to be an animal with few means of defense, yet it has highly developed powers of hearing, sight and smell. These, with its rapid powers of locomotion, and above all, its prolificness, enable it to survive in spite of the fact that it has many enemies among the predaceous mammals. The long erectile ears, and large, prominent eyes placed at the sides of the head so that the animal can see in nearly all directions at the same time, combined with the animal's protective coloration, largely compensate for the lack of other means of defense. When moving about slowly the cottontail progresses by a series of hops, but when moving at full speed, long rapid leaps are taken. A rabbit rarely makes any sound, but when caught or wounded it will sometimes give utterance to a harsh, plaintive cry. The cottontail is a strict vegetarian. All sorts of herbage, such as leaves, stems, flowers, grasses and buds and bark of woody plants or trees, are taken. In fact almost any green vegetable growth is acceptable when dainter herbage is lacking. Like the squirrel, the rabbit is not greatly disconcerted by the advent of civilization. A BLOW AT THE HERMIT The hermit of Santa Catalina island will probably have to go to the polls to vote hereafter instead of the polls coming to him. For the first time in its history the California Assembly has passed a bill introduced by a Socialist and directed solely at one man. Assemblyman Splengler introduced the bill and the hermit of Santa Catalina Island was the only person in mind when it was drawn. The measure permits the consolidation of election precincts. If passed by the senate and signed by Governor Johnson, the bill will break the monopoly of the hermit to the exclusive right of voting in the only precinct on the island outside of the city of Avalon. Under existing laws, the hermit compels a special election board to travel to his home from Avalon in order that he may cast his ballot. It was figured that it cost about $70 each election to get the hermit's vote. Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Alexander and Mr. and Mrs. Fred Barmes visited Los Angeles Sunday with Jess Alexander and wife. Alexander Henry made a business trip to Los Angeles Saturday. B. T. Beale was one of the Saturday visitors in Los Angeles. Stephens gave Nogrady two notes, each for $1,000, for which Nogrady agreed to give Stephens 2000 shares in the Big Four Company. It is alleged in the complaint that Nogrady turned the notes to his own use, thereby becoming a felony embezzler. Mrs. Don L. Parker and Mrs. C. E.

Charles Wagner made a pleasure trip to Los Angeles and Venice Saturday and Sunday. Rabbit rarely makes any sound, but when caught or wounded it will sometimes give utterance to a harsh, plaintive cry. The cottontail is a strict vegetarian. All sorts of herbage, such as leaves, stems, flowers, grasses and buds, and bark of woody plants or trees, are taken. In fact almost any green vegetable growth is acceptable, when dainter herbage is lacking. Like the squirrel, the rabbit is not greatly disconcerted by the advent of civilization. It quickly accustoms itself to cultivated areas and feasts on the cultivated products of the farm. As a result field crops, gardens and even fruit trees are often injured. Newly planted orchards most often suffer because rabbits denude trees of the bark just above the surface of the ground. Fortunately it is the less desirable game mammal, the jack rabbit, that does most damage in this respect. In recently settled sections newly planted orchard trees are protected by some sort of mechanical device, such as wire netting or other protection placed about the trunk of the young trees, or by using a lime and sulphur wash, the same as is used for the destruction of San Jose scale. Another method sometimes used is to rub the body of the young tree with a piece of liver or freshly killed flesh. Rabbits dislike the smell of blood and fresh flesh and will avoid a tree so treated for many weeks. The flesh of the cottontail is tender and of fine flavor and when properly prepared makes very desirable food. Although perhaps less tender than the flesh of some of the domesticated spies, such as the Belgian hare, yet the flesh is of much finer flavor. Rabbits have long furnished an excellent substitute for higher priced game, for they have been both abundant and cheap. Rabbit hunting is also good sport, and since this game mammal is to be found near at hand and easily accessible, its pursuit has been ex- CONDUCTION IN SEASON FOR COTTON-MAILS Well be considered the farmers and the farmers' old C.

Hares, which include the cottontail is dis-s much smaller size, in the white undersideous when the animal tremendely popular among all classes. In all states where rabbits have been greatly reduced in numbers protection is now afforded them as a game mammal. Here in California the cottontail rabbit has been protected since 1911, when a closed season of six months and a bag limit of fifteen was given it. At the present time there is a bill in the legislature calling for a still further reduction of the open season lest the cottontail become still further reduced in numbers. Although prolific, the cottontail can not withstand the large yearly toll taken by hunters, for this animal is perhaps more widely hunted than any other. With 160,000 hunters in the field each year, it is not surprising that a further reduction in season is necessary. Rabbits should be given sufficient protection to allow their continuance as a game species which affords food and recreation to any one who shoulders the gun. SPOKE TOO SOON A Mexican named Felx Arila was arrested a few days ago by Sheriff Jackson, who held the fellow on suspicions of having been concerned in some of the numerous thefts which have been perpetrated during the past few weeks. Arila was to have been turned loose, but he called for the sheriff, not knowing that the doors were almost open for him, and told the sheriff that he had been concerned in the robbery of two stores in Westminster, and offered to show the sheriff just what goods he had stolen and who had owned them. Jackson took Arila with him and also the goods he claimed to have stolen in Westminster, and when the sheriff showed the goods to the men who had been robbed they identified the goods positively. Sure You Can Anybody Can Take Perfect Pictures Ansco Camera Heying's Pharmacy hands is $2.27, but it is said that the average return from the eastern market is below that figure and that the orange growing business has been conducted at a loss. The result, as might be expected is that the growers big and little, well connected and disconnected, are theorizing over the supposed weaknesses suddenly discovered in their marketing agencies. Some are clamoring for a compulsory strictly cash in advance basis; others would force the retailer to work on a less bargain by extending the operation of the sales organization to include dealing direct with the retailer or even with the consumer. In the great northwest apple districts, also, there is turmoil. Hood River, but two short years ago torn by dissension, her original strong union disrupted, has seceded from the Distributors organization and enters the 1915 season with a determination to work unitedly once more, and independently. This decision withdraws from the Distributors two high officials—H.F. Davidson and Wilmer Seig, the former to give personal attention to his 350 acres of Spitz and newtons and latter to become sales manager. CALIFORNIA LEADS THE U. S. IN SAVINGS ACCOUNTS W. R. Morehouse of the German-American Trust and Savings Bank of Los Angeles has collected some interesting and valuable information on the subject of saving accounts, and his statement that in this regard the state of California leads the United States must be a source of pride to the people. The statistics show that whereas one person in ten in the United States has a savings account, in California four persons in every ten are depositors in savings banks. Under state supervision Mr. Morehouse says that more than 500 banks and trust companies have deposits of $575,000,000 owned by 1,000,000 people. With the National banks included, the banks of California with a capital, surplus and undivided profits of $200,000,000, have deposits that aggregate $935,000,000, or close to a billion dollars. Not only do a larger per cent of the people of California have savings accounts than the people of any other state but, with the one exception of Nevada, the average balance on deposit are the largest. In this connection it is interesting to note the statement made by Mr. Morehouse that this showing is attributed almost entirely to he aggressiveness of the savings banks and trust companies along business getting and business conserving lines. In other words he says the savings accounts have grown to such gratifying proportions because of the publicity work and advertising done by the banks in newspapers. He says that of the many publicity plans which have originated in California bank advertising is among the foremost, and it has taken less than ten years for the banks of the state to prove that advertising properly used is the most effective agency for getting business. Bank advertising was at first a much misunderstood agency and therefore its operation for a num- TRICTS, also, there is turmoll.

Stern & Goodman Merc. Co. Fullerton, Calif. DISAPPEARING PEACH TREES Some of the Colorado fruit growers on the western slope of the Rocky Mountains have adopted an ingenious method for protecting their peach orchards during the winter season. The plan, which has been found to be a meritorious one, consists of bending the trees down to the ground covering their branches with hay or straw and then burying them under about 2 inches of soil, in much the same way as blackberry and raspberry bushes are cared for in cold climates.
