Howard and Oscar Renner, as a committee from the Anaheim Board of Trade, appeared before the board of supervisors, protesting against the plan of the supervisors for tearing down the old Olive bridge for the purpose of using the lumber to construct approaches for the new bridge. The delegation asserted that by to been allowed to go to waste may be utilized. For reasons, however, which are not as yet very thoroughly understood, the various fruits differ greatly in the effects of sterilization upon them. Thus strawberry juice lose their distinctive colors and flavors very readily and, therefore cannot be put up on a commercial scale and marketed as grape juice is. Lemon and orange juices also undergo peculiar changes in flavor after sterilization and no satisfactory method of overcoming this obstacle has yet been developed. Lemon juice is the more promising, but this, too, can not yet be manufactured commercially with success.

Howard and Oscar Renner, as a committee from the Anaheim Board of Trade, appeared before the board of supervisors, protesting against the plan of the supervisors for tearing down the old Olive bridge for the purpose of using the lumber to construct approaches for the new bridge. The delegation asserted that by tearing out the bridge, traffic over the Anaheim-Olive road would be suspended for months and that the lumber would be practically worthless for the purpose for which it is to be used. It was asserted that it would be a hardship upon the city of Anaheim to have this road blocked. The supervisors were not disposed to concede the contention and stated that Anaheim had failed to provide protection for the bridge which had been promised by members of the board of trade before its construction was begun. Messrs. Howard and Renner said that they believed that money for protecting the bridge and defining the river channel could be raised by popular subscription and undertook to raise $3,000. Supervisor Schumacher asserted that he would give $1,000 for his district for the work if sufficient additional is raised by subscription. The matter was left in that situation, the supervisors making no promises to delay tearing down the old Olive bridge. OIL WELL MEN WANT LOWER TAXES Monte Cristo Company and Thomas Strain Think Assessment too High The board of equalization has received two petitions asking for a reduction of the assessment made by County Assessor Sleeper on oil lands, but Mr. Sleeper is contending that his estimates are just and demands that his figures stand. Henry Ashe of San Francisco, who was attorney for Abe Ruef in the famous graft cases, was before the board as a representative of the Monte Cristo Oil company. Sleeper put an assessment of $10,050 upon the Monte Cristo well and $7000 upon the mineral rights in land near the well. Ashe declared that his company had spent $20,000 in this county, and that their property is not now paying anything. He said the well ought not to be berry juice lose their distinctive colors and flavors very readily and, therefore can not be put up on a commercial scale and marketed as grape juice is. Lemon and orange juices also undergo peculiar changes in flavor after sterilization and no satisfactory method of overcoming this obstacle has yet been developed. Lemon juice is the more promising, but this, too, can not yet be manufactured commercially with success. With certain percautions, on the other hand, pineapples can be made to yield a sterilized juice of a very attractive flavor which should have distinct commercial possibilities. The juice, however, should be kept in cold storage at from 32 to 35 degrees, after sterilization, and most of the suspended material should be removed by means of a milk separator or by filtration. Moreover, where atmospheric oxygen is not excluded, in the process of bottling the juice darkens gradually. These studies have already resulted in the discovery of a method producing concentrated apple juice by freezing, which is not only easier to ship than ordinary cider, but which will keep much better. In the concentrated juice, however, the presence of sugar and acid retards the growth of micro-organisms and fermentation is very slow. Similar methods are now being tried out with other fruits. In the case of juice of grape fruits, for example, concentration to a sirup by freezing is easily accomplished, and it appears at the present time that there are great commercial possibilities in this method although further experimentation is considered necessary. In the case of fruits whose juices do not suffer any change of flavor or color in the process of sterilization this method is not likely to prove necessary. Details of the experiments with a discussion of the effects upon the various fruits of sterilization, exposure to atmospheric oxygen after sterilization, storage at low temperatures, etc., are contained in a new bulletin of the department of agriculture, No. 241-Studies on Fruit Juices. INEBRIACY AND PROHIBITION A movement has been started down in the legislature to abolish the state inebriate asylum at Knoxville after January 1, 1916. The movement is based on the theory that after statewide prohibition goes into effect there will be no need for such an institute.

Sleeper put an assessment of $10,050 upon the Monte Cristo well and $7000 upon the mineral rights in land near the well. Ashe declared that his company had spent $40,000 in this county, and that their property is not now paying anything. He said the well ought not to be assessed for over $1000 and that the mineral rights should go in at $700 instead of $7000. Thomas Strain objected to an assessment of $125 an acre upon twenty acres that he owns north of Placentia. He said he had spent $80,000 in drilling, and has not secured a good well. He said he bought the property years ago for $30 an acre. When asked how much he would take for it now he said that he had never thought of a price. The petition for a reduction of the assessment was taken under advisement. The supervisors will view both the Strain and the Monte Cristo properties. NEW FRUIT JUICES That the juice of currants, blackberries, black raspberries, sour cherries, and peaches may be prepared and kept prepared and kept as successfully as grape juice and by the same methods has now been demonstrated in the course of a series of experiments which the department of agriculture is conducting into the whole complicated question of fruit juices. The juices of the fruits mentioned, it has been found, retain their characteristic color and flavor after being sterilized and stored away and can, therefore, be made available for use throughout the year in households and at soda fountains. In this way it is thought much fruit that has hither- INEBRIACY AND PROHIBITION A movement has been started down in the legislature to abolish the state inebriate asylum at Knoxville after January 1, 1916. The movement is based on the theory that after statewide prohibition goes into effect there will be no need for such an institution. Those who favor abolishing the institution must have sublime faith in prohibition as a means of preventing intemperance. Either that or they have no faith in the Knoxville institution as means of reforming drunkards, for it is stated on good authority that most of the men who have been sent to Knoxville are not the products of the legalized saloon, but rather the victims of the bad liquor sold by bootleggers. If prohibition does actually permit it after January 1, there would be no need for such an institution as Knoxville, but if there is lax enforcement of the law; if blind pigs are allowed to run and those addicted to the liquor habit can buy adulterated liquor by the bottle, Knoxville will be needed. The very worst wrecks from liquor are sometimes to be found in dry communities. Until it is proved that prohibition does prohibit, the inebriate asylum, if it possesses merit otherwise, should be maintained—Times-Journal, Dubuque, Ia., April 15. "It IS A WISE SERVANT" "Well, John," the doctor said one morning. 'what is your master's temperature this morning?' "Indeed, sir," replied the servant, "I should not like to say sir. He died last night." TWO ELECTIONS COMING THIS FALL? NON-PARTISAN MEASURE CANNOT BE VOTED UPON AT SPECIAL ELECTION OCT. 26 GOVERNOR MUST CALL ANOTHER ELECTION TO VOTE UPON REFERENDUM PROPOSITION Gov. Johnson must himself call a special election this fall if the question of abolishing political parties in California is to be decided. The special election called by the Legislature for October 26 cannot be canceled, but the referendum nonpartisan petition cannot be included in that call. Replying to a written inquiry from the Secretary of State, Atty.-Gen. Webb has held that the Legislature has no jurisdiction over initiative and referendum petitions. The Constitution confers authority on the Governor to call such special elections, but not on the Legislature. But the special election called by the Legislature must be held, although the chief measure that was to be decided cannot be placed on the ballot. At the election called by the Legislature the voters will pass judgment only on the amendments to the Constitution proposed at the last legislative session. The Governor has signed the bill, and neither he nor anyone else can annul the election now. This means that an election will be held at an estimated expense of $500,000 to vote this year on the rural with the decrease in pressure on their approach and subsiding on the return of fair weather and a high barometer. The discharge from flowing wells is naturally greater when the barometer is low than when it is high, although the difference in discharge is usually so small that it is unobserved. However, where the artesian pressure is slight, as it is in many of the wells of southern Minnesota, the effect of fluctuations in atmospheric pressure is frequently apparent, and it sometimes happens that a well will flow during storms but will cease flowing when the weather clears up. The well of the Red Wing Malting Co., 470 feet deep and ending in sandstone, is said to flow 25 per cent more when the wind is northeast—during storms—than ordinarily. On approach of storms the water in the wells of southern Minnesota, which is ordinarily clear, becomes cloudy or milky; in others it becomes bright yellow or deep red. Among those whose waters become milky before storms are certain wells near Lakeville, in Scott county, and the most pronounced examples of discoloration are in the vicinity of Waterville, in Le Sueur county. The milkiness is due to silt or clay, and the yellow and red colors to fine particles of iron oxide. Blowing and sucking are common phenomena in this region, not only in drilled wells but also in dug and bored wells. In the bored wells the air passes in and out through openings in the curb, occasionally with considerable force. Often the whistling of the escaping air is loud enough to be heard for several rods. In some wells in other parts of the country the current is strong enough to operate a whistle that can be heard at a distance of a mile. According to the statements of local drillers, the phenomenon is confined to uncaged wells. When the Triceratops probably lived on leaves and branches of low trees or shrubs. At the time those animals existed, this part of the country was covered with vast swamps in which peat accumulated and wide watercourses that were constantly shifting their channels, the region presenting an appearance similar to that of the Everglades of Florida. Where the waters were not too deep the region must have been covered by luxuriant vegetation and was inhabited by great numbers of the huge dinosaurs, as well as by smaller crocodiles, alligators, turtles, and diminutive mammals, all of whose fossil remains are now found embedded in the deposits of that time. Contemporary with the Triceratops was a great duck billed reptile related to Trachodon. An average sized individual measured 33 feet from the tip of its nose to the end of its tail, and as it walked erect on its huge three toed hind feet the top of its head was 12 or 15 feet from the ground. The head was nearly a yard in length, and the fore part of the skull was expanded to form a broad beak that was covered with a horny sheath, as in birds and turtles. This was admirably suited to the pulling of rushes and other water plants that constituted the food of this great creature. These trachodont reptiles lived in the swamps and rivers. One of the most remarkable features about this reptile was its mouth, which was armed with 2,000 or more separate teeth arranged in vertical rows. Each jaw had from 45 to 60 rows and from 10 to 15 teeth in each vertical row. Ankylosaurus was an armored dinosaur whose entire back was covered by flattened ridged skin plates of bone. The animal was low in stature, had a short, blunt head, and carried on the end of its stout, heavy tail a great triangular club of bone. Even the eyes were provided with a cup-shaped with the decrease in pressure on their approach and subsiding on the return of fair weather and a high barometer.

At the election called by the Legislature the voters will pass judgment only on the amendments to the Constitution proposed at the last legislative session. The Governor has signed the bill, and neither he nor anyone else can annul the election now. This means that an election will be held at an estimated expense of $500,000 to vote this year on the rural credits amendment and the special tax amendment. What the Governor will do about the nonpartisan referendum he has not yet announced. He has the authority to call a special election to vote on that measure, but there is a serious question whether he can call his special election for the same day as that called by the Legislature. Such an act would be without precedent in the history of American states. One thing seems clear, the election called by the Governor can have no official connection with that called by the Legislature. There is no provision in law by which election officers could preside at two special elections at the same time, and there are laws prohibiting the combining of elections or mailing sample ballots for two different elections in the same envelope. Attorneys at Sacramento are unanimous in the opinion that two elections must be wholly separate and distinct. If this be true, it will mean the expenditure of another $500,000 by the taxpayers, or a million in all to get a vote this year on the nonpartisan bill. This will mean a still higher rise in the county tax rates, already declared by the United States Census Bureau to be the highest in America. Under our peculiar State law, this whole expense must be borne by private taxpayers. The big corporations are all on the city and county free list. The railroads, power companies, express companies, lighting companies and telephone companies are assessed for State taxes only, and the expense of these special elections must be paid from county and not state funds. One reason for the advance in the county tax rates during the last few years is that California cities and counties have been obsessed with special elections; and as all the big corporation holdings have been stricken from the city and county assessment rolls, the private taxpayers have to meet the whole expense. Formerly the public utility companies paid more wells. In the bored wells the air passes in and out through openings in the curb, occasionally with considerable force. Often the whistling of the escaping air is loud enough to be heard for several rods. In some wells in other parts of the country the current is strong enough to operate a whistle that can be heard at a distance of a mile. According to the statements of local drillers, the phenomenon is confined to uncased wells. When the wind is from the south the air is expelled with a whistling sound; when it is from the north it is drawn in. Polisonous gas is sometimes given off with the expelled air, occasionally producing fatal results. In winter, when the wind is north, freezing occurs to a depth of 80 feet, notwithstanding attempts to prevent it by coverings. In Water Supply paper 256 of the geological survey, descriptions and comments on the different methods in use to prevent freezing of wells, and a detailed account of the geology and underground waters are given. NEBRASKA ONCE A SEA FLOOR South of Platte River, opposite North Bend, Nebraska, the bluffs are conspicious and consist of loess and glacial drift, overlaying the Benton shale. This shale was formed when Nebraska was at the bottom of a sea. Evidence of the former presence here of sea wafer is found in the fossil shells of oysters and other animals that live in salt water and the bones of such sea monsters as Mosasaurus. A comparison of these ancient conditions with those of the present day indicates the slow, continuous change that is now and always has been in progress. Where the tourist now travels comfortable over a dry plain, these monsters sported in the water of the sea long ages ago. On the shores of this ancient sea lived equally strange beasts and birds of types that have long been extinct, and over its water sailed great flying dragons—the pterodactyls. The animals of that day were strikingly different from those of the present. The birds, unlike any now living, had jaws armed with teeth. The monarchs of the air then were not in fact birds, but flying reptiles, whose fore limbs had been modified into wings by the enormous elongation of fingers between which stretched thin membranes like the wings of a bat. These flying dragons, some of which had a stretch of winged wells. In the bored wells the air passes in and out through openings in the curb, occasionally with considerable force.

EMPLOYMENT FOUND FOR 100 000 PERSONS Commission of Immigration and Housing Doing Good Work As a direct result of the investigations and recommendations of the commission of immigration and housing of California relative to the solution of the problem of unemployment, more than 100,000 persons in California were furnished employment and otherwise assisted during the past winter, according to information contained in the report of the commission to Governor Johnson on the relief of the desitute unemployed. That crime was reduced in California, at least 25 per cent as a result of State taxes only, and the expense of these special elections must be paid from county and not state funds. One reason for the advance in the county tax rates during the last few years is that California cities and counties have been obsessed with special elections; and as all the big corporation holdings have been stricken from the city and county assessment rolls, the private taxpayers have to meet the whole expense. Formerly the public utility companies paid more than one-fourth of the tax of the California counties. This mix up over the referendum election is affording considerable amusement to members of the minority in the Legislature, who opposed the call of the special election by that body on the ground that it was unnecessary because the Governor could himself call the election if he desired. If no special election were called, the nonpartisan petition would be voted on at the general election next year without added expense to the taxpayers. It was to relieve the Governor of the onus of saddling a special election with a half million dollar expense on the taxpayers that the Legislature took the initiative. But the opinion of the Attorney-General puts it squarely up to the Governor to call that election himself, and in the meantime there is no way to cancel the one called by the Legislature. STRANGE WELLS IN MINNESOTA Some of the wells in the vicinity of Winnebago, Minn., are reported as showing slight variations in level, the water frequently standing lowest at about 10 a.m. when the barometric pressure is usually greatest, and highest at about 4 p.m., when the pressure is likely to be least; and still greater fluctuations mark the passage of storms, the water rising materially sailed great flying dragons—the pterodactyls. The animals of that day were strikingly different from those of the present. The birds, unlike any now living, had jaws armed with teeth. The monarchs of the air then were not in fact birds, but flying reptiles, whose fore limbs had been modified into wings by the enormous elongation of fingers between which stretched thin membranes like the wings of a bat. These flying dragons, some of which had a stretch of wing of 18 feet, were carnivorous, they were animated engines of destruction that somewhat forcibly suggest the modern war airplanes, of which they were in a sense the prototypes. HUGE BEASTS ONCE ROAMED WYOMING SWAMPS Dinosaur bones belonging to the genus Triceratops (which means three horned face) are found in the coal-bearing rocks of the Hanna Basin, Wyoming, and other formations of the same age. Over each eye was a massive horn directed forward and terminating in a long sharp point, and the nose usually hore a third but much smaller horn. A mounted skeleton of a Triceratops in the National Museum at Washington is about 20 feet long and stands 8 feet high at the hips. Some skulls that have been found measure more than 8 feet, over one-third the length of the entire animal. This great length of heads due largely to the remarkable bony development called the frill, which projects backward over the neck like a fireman's helmet. That Triceratops, although a plant eater, was a fighter and often engaged in combat appears to be shown by the broken and healed bones that have been found. Although Triceratops had an enormous head, it had a smaller brain in proportion to its size than the least intelligent land animal of the present time. Briefly stated, the recommendations of the commission for the relief of the destitute unemployed were that the municipalities and counties of the state should cooperate with the various charitable organizations in providing work for the unemployed; that the work referred to should be of a public character; that provision should be made for registering all unemployed; that all homeless men, convicted as vagrants because they had no means of support, should be given sus- Portrait Free!

In concluding its report, the commission makes the following recommendations for future action: Immediate steps should be taken by the state for permanent constructive relief work, in which the municipalities and counties are urged to cooperate. Other sections of the country should be convinced that California cannot accept responsibility for support of non-resident objects of charity. When ever possible, work should be substituted for charity. For such work funds should be provided by general tax levy and not left to private subscription. Less boosting and saner advertising by private and semi-private organizations will reduce the influx of the migratory element. Emergency relief work for the unemployed should be planned by state and local governments each year, to be done only in case of emergency and absolute necessity. GIANT WELL IN OPERATION AT OLIVE Will Pump Three Thousand Gallons of Water per Minute One of the best wells in Orange county was recently put in operation by the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation company at the east end of the Olive bridge. The well is 407 feet deep. It goes through three stratas of water. It has a diameter of 27 inches, reduced to 20 inches at 160 feet and 14 at 250 capacity of 3200 gallons per minute or 200 gallons more than was guaranteed by the pump company. The well of the Anaheim Union Water company is the only one in the county at present having a larger capacity than the one just opened at the Olive bridge.

Directors of the Santa Ana Valley company are confident that when the new plant is run at its maximum capacity it will be one of the best in the south.

These are often the symptoms of weak kidneys and there is grave danger in delay. Doan's Kidney Pills are especially prepared for kidney alliments — are endorsed by over 30,000 people. Your neighbors recommend this remedy—have proved its merit in many tests. Anaheim readers should take fresh courage in the straightforward testimony of an Anaheim citizen. Louis Dauser, retired farmer, 425 W. Center street, Anaheim, says: "I was troubled by sharp stitches in my back. They came on suddenly and my back was so weak, lame and painful that I could hardly stand up. I thought this trouble was due to weak kidneys and I tried Doan's Kidney Pills. They took away the pain and I have had no need for them since." Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan's Kidney Pills—the same that Mr. Dauser had.
