NEWPORT BAY IS VIEWED BY VISITORS HOUSE RIVER AND HARBOR COMMITTEE GUESTS OF LOCAL CITIZENS SCENIC DELIGHTS OF COUNTY SEEN ON AUTOMOBILE TOUR THROUGH VARIOUS CITIES Under escort of the associated chambers of commerce the rivers and harbors committee of the house of representatives accompanied by the wives, sons and daughters of some of the members, visited Newport Beach Friday for the purpose of inspection with regard to future action by congress on the proposed harbor work at that point. Before going to Newport the party passed through Orange county from the north line to Santa Ana and viewed its orange and walnut groves and its many otehr horticultural and agricultural industries. The committee of the associated chambers met the party in automobiles at Los Angeles at eight o'clock in the morning, and immediately started south with the members in automobiles. They passed through La Habra, Brea, Placentia, Fullerton, Anaheim, Orange, Hewes' Park, Tustin and Santa Ana. The party passed here at 11 o'clock and arrived at Santa Ana at noon. After a short stop at Santa Ana they went on to the beach where luncheon was served at the Palasades hotel, Balboa. After luncheon Senator John N. Anderson made a brief speech of welcome and introduced neighborhood of 3000 voters, are required on the petitions. These will be circulated in every precinct in the county, and if sufficient signatures are secured Orange county will then be created into a harbor district and a bond election called by the supervisors for the purpose of financing the proposition. It is claimed that half a million dollars will be required to carry out the proposition. The members of the congressional party were: Col. S. M. Sparkman, chairman of the committee, of Tampa, Florida, and his daughter, Miss Eugenia Sparkman, and Curtis Sparkman, his son and private secretary; George F. Burgess of Gonzales, Texas, and Mrs. Burgess; Charles G. Edwards of Savannah, Georgia, Mrs. Edwards and son; Thomas Gallagher of Chicago, Ill., and Mrs. Gallagher; Thomas J. Scully of South Amboy, N. J., and Mrs. Scully; Charles Lieb of Rockport, Ind., and Mrs. Lieb; Charles A. Kennedy of Montrose, Iowa; Robert M. Switzer of Gallipolis, Ohio, and Mrs. Switzer; Allen T. Treadway of Stockbridge, Mass., and Mrs. Treadway; William Humphrey of Seattle, Washington; William Kettner of San Diego and Mrs. Kettner; G. L. Brookins, clerk of the committee; A. J. McGann, assistant clerk of the committee; Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Small, and L. M. Shinn, clerk of the Senate Committee on Commerce. CONSERVATION OF OIL Conservation of California oil resources was recently provided for by legislation which enables the State Mining Bureau to keep constantly in touch with oil field developments and supervise the drilling of wells, so that damage from underground water may be minimized.

After a short stop at Santa Ana they went on to the beach where luncheon was served at the Palasades hotel, Balboa. After luncheon Senator John N. Anderson made a brief speech of welcome and introduced Clyde Bishop who explained the situation to the visitors. He said that the county was now about to take its first step looking toward the improvement of Newport Bay. Petitions, he said, asking the supervisors to appoint a harbor commission would be put in circulation Monday, as the law providing for the formation of harbor districts goes into effect at midnight Saturday. "All we ask of you is that you see that the government at Washington approves the map of the harbor lines," said Bishop. "The map has been approved by all the subordinate engineers of the War Department but has been blocked by the chief engineer." Lew H. Wallace, president of the associated chambers, also made a brief address on the same lines. "All we want is that we be given a chance to go ahead with the work," said Wallace. "Orange county and Newport Beach will build the harbor. The approval of our map is all that we are asking of the government." Wallace stated that the plans called for the building of 2000 feet of public frontage at the harbor. Congressman Kettner stated that he had worked hard to get Gen. Gingman, the chief engineer, to approve the harbor map and, having failed, an act of Congress may be necessary. As indicating the amount of shipping that would be done through the harbor, Mr. Kettner said that in 1899, the last year the Newport wharf was in use, 500 cargoes were unloaded upon it. Then the railroads closed the wharf. "Ordinarily," said Congressman Sparkman, chairman of the committee, "there is no difficulty about getting harbor lines established. I am not afraid of real estate schemes, and I am of the opinion that someone rendered some other objections that caused Gen. Kingman to take the stand we did. You should try to find out what that was. Personally, I shall CONSERVATION OF OIL Conservation of California oil resources was recently provided for by legislation which enables the State Mining Bureau to keep constantly in touch with oil field developments and supervise the drilling of wells, so that damage from underground water may be minimized. The new law became effective on August 8th, and State Mineralogist Fletcher Hamilton has announced the appointment of R. P. McLaughlin to the position of state oil and gas supervisor, whose duty it is to carry on the work provided for. McLaughlin is thoroughly familiar with the oil fields of the state, and directed the recent work of the mining bureau which resulted in the issuing of the first comprehensive report that has ever been made upon the oil industry. Oil operators are unanimous in their approval of the bureau's accomplishments during the past two years. Deputies will be appointed by the state supervisor and stationed in the various oil producing localities, to collect the necessary engineering data, study local problems, and advise operators as to the best methods of controlling under ground water which has caused such a serious financial loss. The law provides rather stringent means of compelling operators to protect the oil sands properly from water, but the bureau has continuously advocated investigation and cooperation rather than arbitrary official methods. In pursuance of such a policy, the state mineralogist and the oil and gas supervisor will immediately make a tour of the oil fields, and hold meeting of oil men. The aims and ideas of the officials can thus be directly given to the operators, who will, in turn, be able to ask questions and offer suggestions. Every oil company in the state will be notified of the places and dates; and as the matter is of the utmost importance to the oil men, there will doubtless be a large attendance. The state mining bureau aims to make this work extremely popular and useful among the oil men, and during the first months will make every effort to notify operators of their privileges and duties under the law, to the end that no misunderstandings may arise. REBEKAHS INSTALL NEW LIST OF OFFICERS "Ordinarily," said Congressman Sparkman, chairman of the committee, "there is no difficulty about getting harbor lines established. I am not afraid of real estate schemes, and I am of the opinion that someone rendered some other objections that caused Gen. Kingman to take the stand he did. You should try to find out what that was. Personally, I shall be glad to help you get what you ask. This committee will aid. I think a great harbor can be established here. I am no prophet, but I can see that. Time will come when you will ask the Federal government for money. However, at this time you are not asking for an appropriation, and that is an unusual feature of our visit here. Elsewhere they were after appropriations. "Congressman Ketiner did everything in his power to get this matter through. In whatever steps are necessary for him to take, whether legislative or otherwise, to get what you wish, you may rest assured that he will have the support of the Rivers and Harbors Committee." At the last session of the legislature two acts were introduced by Orange county's representatives, Senator John N. Anderson and Assemblyman J. C. Burke, aided by Mr. Bishop, and they were passed and signed by the governor. These acts provide that cities of the sixth class may vote bonds and carry on harbor improvement work, building of jetties, etc., and under the provisions of this act Newport Beach is now planning a bond issue of $100,000 for construction of one of the jetties necessary. The legislative act went into effect Monday night and petitions are now in circulation asking the supervisors to appoint a harbor commission. Fifteen per cent of the voters, in the state mining bureau aims to make this work extremely popular and useful among the oil men, and during the first months will make every effort to notify operators of their privileges and duties under the law, to the end that no misunderstandings may arise.

It Anaheim Gazette POLITICIANSHOLD NON-PARTISAN MEASURES REFERENDUM VOTE UPON THEM AT SPECIAL ELECTION OCTOBER 26 EFFORT MADE BY ADMINISTRATION OFFICIALS TO DEFEAT WILL OF PEOPLE Sufficient names are on file in the office of Secretary of State Jordan at Sacramento to suspend the operation of two of the Young nonpartisan bills against which the referendum has been invoked. Against the Young bill abolishing all party primaries inside the state 47,956 names have been fled; against the second bill, providing for a nonpartisan form of ballot, 46,924 names have been fled. To invoke the referendum 46,335 names are required. In a dying effort to evade the referendum two satellites of the administration, Commissioner of Corporations Carnahan and Martin Madsen, executive secretary to the governor, spent Saturday evening in the office of the Secretary of State trying to pick flaws in the form of certification from the county clerks. Their most strenuous objection was to the petition from Kern county of 709 names against the nonpartisan form of ballot. The petitions as circulated with the names attached were received from Kern county; but the certification of both referendum petitions was on the same sheet. Advised by wire that this form was invalid because of difference in cost, 20 per cent by reason of elimination of profits, and 15 per cent because of inferior quality of many foreign made goods—a handicap far too great for any factory employing American labor under Amelrean conditions successfully to overcome. It is apparent, therefore, that a tariff law which encourages such a high rate of factory efficiency abroad, by supplying a market here for surplus stocks, does that much toward increasing the unit cost of the American article at home, because of decreased output of the American factory which is obliged to meet this cut throat competition. The efficiency of the foreign factory is increased at the expense of the efficiency of our domestic concern. The half time article can not compete with the full time output. The American mill closes and the American laborer sits on the park bench and waits for the soup cart. It was to meet such conditions that Canada enacted what is known as the Anti-dumping clause, which has done away with most of the paralyzing effects of dumping. This clause provides that goods of a class or kind made in Canada are subject to special duty when sold for exportation to Canada at less price than for home consumption in the country of export, whether such goods be otherwise free of duty or subject to specific ad valorem duty. A half-hearted attempt was made by the democratic house when the Underwood law was being debated, to apply a dumping duty to articles on the durable list. The republicans argued that it should also apply to the free list because many articles not subject to duty would be dumped in this country in unfair competition with domestic production. When the bill got to Senate, the whole dumping that this handicap amounts to 30 per cent because of difference in cost, 20 per cent by reason of elimination of profits, and 15 per cent because of inferior quality of many foreign made goods—a handicap far too great for any factory employing American labor under Amelrean conditions successfully to overcome.

WATER COMPANY IN REGULAR SESSION BOARD OF DIRECTORS CONSIDER VARIOUS MATTERS AT THE MEETING SATURDAY REPORTS OF SUPERINTENDENT AND FINANCE COMMITTEE READ AND ACCEPTED A regular meeting of the Board of Directors of the Anaheim Union Water company was held on Saturday with all members present except Director Beazley. Minutes of the last regular meeting were read and approved. The report of the finance committee was read and warrants ordered drawn in payment of various demands therein recommended. The reports of the treasurer, superintendent and secretary were each in turn received and filed. On motion duly seconded following transfers'of stock were granted: 15 shares from Mabel L. Jones to Mabel L. Jones, pledgee A. G. Langenberger. 10 from J. H. Young,pledgee for D. B. Hendricks to Fred Robbins.

Their most strenuous objection was to the petition from Kern county of 709 names against the nonpartisan form of ballot. The petitions as circulated with the names attached were received from Kern county; but the certification of both referendum petitions was on the same sheet. Advised by wire that this form was irregular the registrar of Kern county sent a telegraphic form, duly sworn to. But the satellites of the governor objected to its acceptance. Shortly before 10 o'clock Carnahan notified J. M. Cremin of the Secretary of State's office that he would file formal protest against the certification of either petition on the contention that the signatures were insufficient to invoke the referendum. He said this would be a formal protest for the purpose of giving the Attorney-General an opportunity to review the petitions. Carnahan withdrew to the Governor's office to write out his protest. Half an hour later he returned to the Secretary of State's office and said he had decided not to make the formal protest. It was rumored in the capitol that he withdrew the protest for the reason that the governor can decline to call a special election on the ground of insufficiency without formal protest being made. If he should do so the question of submitting the referendum would have to be fought out in the courts on an injunction to keep the Secretary of State from placing them on the ballot in 1916. From all appearances the administration forces are badly perturbed over the prospect of losing the referendum election. If the Kern county petition against the form of ballot is thrown out, there would be on file one hundred and twenty names less than enough to invoke the referendum on that bill. The special election was originally called for October 26 to permit the people to pass upon nine proposed constitutional amendments. They are: Senate Constitutional Amendment No. 28, providing for the revision of the state taxation and revenue system. S. C. A. No. 2, providing a twelve-year term for Superior judges. S. C. A. No. 11, providing for the appointment by the governor of short-term Superior and Appellate Judges. A half-hearted attempt was made by the democratic house when the Underwood law was being debated, to apply a dumping duty to articles on the durable list. The republicans argued that it should also apply to the free list because many articles not subject to duty would be dumped in this country in unfair competition with domestic production. When the bill got to the Senate the whole dumping clause was thrown out, and should end of the war find this country still burdened with a democratic tariff law, we would be at the mercy of the industrial syndicates which will be organized all over Europe. Y.M.C.A. BOYS OFF FOR CATALINA Fifty Orange County Youngsters Start Monday for Summer Camp The long anticipated moment for fifty Orange county boys arrived Monday morning when at six-thirty they piled aboard the big truck in Santa Ana for their 35 mile ride to San Pedro, there to take the boat for the Y. M. C. A. camp at Catalina. In spite of the interference of the two expositions which have kept a great many boys away from camp this year, the camp limit of fifty was almost secured and the camp this year will be as large as it was a year ago. A huge truck with a trailer carried the boys to San Pedro. They reached Avalon at 12:30 and after a couple of hours of sight seeing there were taken to Camp Wilkle, four miles up toward the Isthmus. On their arrival, the boys immediately went to their tents which had been previously assigned them and got their bedding laid out and their belongings arranged for the two weeks stay. At five o'clock the whole crowd goes in for the first swim under the efficient supervision of Director Certly and his assistants. At six Tom the Jap cook and his helper will serve a big supper for the horde of hungry boys. At the camp fire Monday evening, the boys will be given their instructions regarding camp, the plan of self-government will be explained, each boy will be introduced to the others and after a few songs and jokes just to get things under way for the evenings to follow, all turned in at 9:15.

DUMPING SURPLUS REDUCES THE UNIT COST OF PRODUCTION Not solely or chiefly for the purpose of disposing of surplus stocks is the dumping policy practiced by European countries; it is a recognized method of keeping their factories running at 100 per cent efficiency, thus reducing the unit cost of production to a minimum. Having supplied the domestic and continental trade at the lowest unit cost, there remains, as a result of this high rate of efficiency, a large accumulation of surplus stocks the disposal of which is undertaken at little or no profit. This adds heavily to the disadvantages under which American factories are placed, for the democratic tariff law makes this country the dumping ground for these surplus stocks. It has been estimated swim under the efficient supervision of Director Certly and his assistants. At six Tom the Jap cook and his helper will serve a big supper for the horde of hungry boys. At the camp fire Monday evening, the boys will be given their instructions regarding camp, the plan of self-government will be explained, each boy will be introduced to the others and after a few songs and jokes just to get things under way for the evenings to follow, all turned in at 9:15.

FIGHT WITH WILDCATS William Jeffrey last Friday tried to shake two wildcats out of a tree in the San Joaquin hills so that his dogs could kill them, but he discovered that the cats were mad and spoiling for a fight. They attacked him and he was compelled to jump with the infuriated cats after him. One leg was injured by he drop, which he says was more of a fall than a jump, it was with difficulty that the man got to one side while his hounds finished the wildcats. Jeffrey is a bean and grain grower at the edge of the San Joaquin Hills. He has a pack of about a dozen fox hounds with which he frequently chases coyotes and wildcats. Friday afternoon the dogs treed a pair of cats and their kitten. Jeffrey thought he would have no difficulty in kicking or shaking the family out of the tree. He had no difficulty in dislodging the kitten. This angered the parents and immediate resentment was expressed when the two wildcats flew at Jeffrey. Jeffrey did not wait to fight it out. He jumped. Next morning he went to Santa Ana that a physician might take care of some of his injuries and scratches. While he limps, his ankle is not badly sprained.
