COURT'S RULING AFFECTS MANY CITIES Continued from Page 1 Cutting of weeds and hauling of refuse to dumping grounds was also attended to. The finance committee reported examination of officers' reports, which were found correct, and audited bills to the amount of $4871.67 which were ordered paid. A resolution was passed as a preliminary step toward calling a bond election for the erection of a city hall, and providing for the issuance of bonds in the sum of $30,000. The election is to be called sometime the latter part of the year. An agreement was entered into between the city and George Barkel, whereby the latter is to be furnished electric energy. A copy of an order was received from the railroad commission, granting two streets or grades over the Southern Pacific railroad tracks at Loarra. The same was ordered filed. Resolution No. 122, closing up in part of West Broadway, was adopted. A petition was received from R. Coffman and others asking for the opening up of a "blind" alley, between Ohio and Illinois streets. The alley is in the rear of the property of Frank Gates on West Center street. The alley runs north and south, but 50 feet of its northern end has never, for some reason or other, been opened by having this latter strip opened up connection. Dealers who have been following the now forbidden practice of selling wood by the tier, three tiers to the cord, with stove wood often less than a foot in length, must note the error of their ways and follow the law, else be prosecuted.

The secretary o C.Metzgar at S application furnis Resolution No. 122, closing up in part of West Broadway, was adopted. A petition was received from R. Coffman and others asking for the opening up of a "blind" alley, between Ohio and Illinois streets. The alley is in the rear of the property of Frank Gates on West Center street. The alley runs north and south, but 50 feet of its northern end has never, for some reason or other, been opened. By having this latter strip opened up connection then could be made with the alley running east and west. Petitioners desire this alley opened up to allow them egress from their property. A petition signed by the First National Bank and others, praying for the paving of the alley running from Claudina and Lemon streets, between Center and Chestnut streets, was received and filed. A communication was received from Lena M. Ingraham, asking that the paving of Broadway be deferred at this time. The letter was filed. (The board seems disposed to hold the Broadway paving in abeyance at present.) An invitation was received asking members of the city council to attend the annual convention of the League of California Municipalities to be held in Oakland on September 7th. The trustees decided that they all attend the meeting at the city's expense. Matters of importance to city governments are to be discussed at the convention and the trustees deem it expedient that they attend the meeting. Residents on Melrose street, between Santa Ana and Broadway have signified their willingness to put down sidewalks and curbing on that street. The president of the board was instructed to sign a contract with the Pacific telephone company, providing for the installation of a six-inch fire gong in the private apartments of the motor fire-truck engineer. A new law was passed at the last legislature, giving cities the power to clear all lots of weeds and other foreign growth, and to make a charge against the property for the same. The city attorney was instructed to draw up a resolution, giving the street superintendent the power to clear weeds from any city lot or lots which he may designate. Marshal Kellenberger made complaint about the misuse of the premises at the Y. M. C. A. plunge on South Philadelphia street. The offence was received from R. Coffman and others asking for the opening up of a "blind" alley, between Ohio and Illinois streets. The alley is in the rear of the property of Frank Gates on West Center street.

The city attorney was instructed to draw up a resolution, giving the street superintendent the power to clear weeds from any city lot or lots which he may designate. Marshal Kellenberger made complaint about the misuse of the premises at the Y. M. C. A. plunge on South Philadelphia street. The officer stated that lockers had been broken and the place was in a disarranged condition, besides some of the boys while there use loud and profane language. He had escorted a number of them before the recorder where they were given a stern lecture. The trustees gave the marshal orders to shut off the water at the plunge, until such time as an attendant was placed in charge of the premises to maintain order. The members of the board discussed the propriety of changing the management at the sewer farm: The man now in charge is in arrears in his rent and it is not at all improbable that the trustees will make a change of management. A CORD OF WOOD A cord of wood must contain when properly piled 128 cubic feet of wood. A cord measure of 8 feet long, 4 feet high and 4 feet wide is a legal measure, and must be followed. Sales by the tier will not be tolerated. Sales may be by the cord; quarter-cord, half-cord and three-quarter-cord. C. G. Johnson, state superintendent of weights and measures, has given instructions to city and county sealers to strictly enforce the law relating to the sale of wood. eGorge McPhee, county sealer, is going to enforce the law in this con- DEMOCRATS FACING A DEFICIT The next congress, with less than a democratic majority of 30 in the house will have before it an important fiscal problem. This congress, preceding a presidential year, must confess that the democratic politics, as complicated by the war, have failed to produce sufficient revenues. The status of the treasury today indicates that the public purse will be about depleted by December, and a new method of raising revenue must be found by the majority party. One thing has been decided upon by the leaders. That is that no attempt must be made to revise the tariff in any way, as to do so would be an admission that the tariff has been a failure. There will be a fight in portion of the South, however, for a revision of the tariff law with respect to the placing of sugar on the free list next May. By a combination with the republicans of the west in the beet sugar growing district, these Southern democrats might force through a repealer in both houses. This will be one of the fights for political interest in the next congress. It is not war, or fear of war, that now concerns the administration. It is the treasury deficit, requiring new legislation, with the country demanding military preparations and the party in power unable to grant it, without confessing the failure of its own policies or the issuing of bonds. With a prospective reduction of $50,000,000 in the public revenues under the laws as they stand on the statute books; no certainty of improvement in the general business situation that might assure increase of revenues from sources now dried by the war emergency, and expenditures keeping up at a rate that was last year in excess of receipts by $34,000,000, it seems that consideration must soon HARBOR PETITIONS BEFORE THE PEOPLE Signers Ask Supervisors for Appointment of Commission Secretary J. C. Metzgar, of the associated chambers of commerce, forwards the following communication: The associated chambers of commerce of Orange county named Wednesday, August 18th as Orange county harbor day. It was the purpose of the association to have petitions in the hands of every delegate and committeeman, and an effort was made to get signatures of the 300 electors and real estate owners on the petition yesterday. The law making it possible for Orange county to take the matter of its harbor improvement in its own hands was purposely framed so that it is necessary to have 15 per cent of the voters who are land owners sign the petition. This must be based upon the last vote cast for governor which was about 18,000 votes. This is a matter of great importance to the county. It is known that on grocery lines alone the fact of Orange county having ship side freight rates will save to the taxpayers $50,000 per annum. Add to this the reduction of freight rates on our produce upon which we would save at least $100,000 per annum, add to this the saving on freight rates on lumber and it will be readily seen that an opportunity to better ourselves as a community is now before us. The people of Newport Beach have agreed to and will vote a bond of $100,000 for the construction of one jetty before the matter of a bond issue will be submitted to the people of Orange county. The secretary of the association, J. C. Metzgar at Santa Ana will upon application furnish a petition to any resident of Orange county who he The people of Newport Beach have agreed to and will vote a bond of $100,000 for the construction of one jetty before the matter of a bond issue will be submitted to the people of Orange county. The secretary of the association, J. C. Metzgar at Santa Ana will upon application furnish a petition to any resident of Orange county who believes that he can get 10 signers or more on the petition if that person will drop a card to him. Now is the time to boost and let us pull together and improve Orange county's harbor at once. Col. Sparkman of Florida, chairman of the rivers and harbors committee of congress made the statement: You people must have been asleep for the last 20 years, that is the only reason that I can account for the fact that the development of your harbor has been delayed for so long a time. THE BEET SUGAR INDUSTRY It is almost forgotten now that the beet sugar industry of the United States originated in California, at Alvarado in Alameda county, which is still one of the seven leading beet sugar counties of the state. The campaign of 1912-13 in California, with 1,612 acres produced 980,894 tons of beets, with a sugar output of 155,432 tons of sugar, giving the state second place next to Colorado. For the campaign of 1913-14 California produced, on 80,740 acres, 863,255 tons of beets, which yielded 132,621 short tons of sugar—according to the editor of Sugar. The Agricultural Outlook, published by the United States Department of Agriculture, gives the following figures for the 1914-15 campaign in California: Acres harvested, 104,000; beets worked, 1,082,000 short tons; sugar produced 168,792 short tons. These figures differ only slightly from those supplied by the Spreckels Sugar company, the American Beet Sugar company and the Alameda Sugar company, whose reports are compiled with great care. The beet sugar factories operating in California during 1914, as reported by the Alameda Sugar company, were as follows: American Beet Sugar Co., Chino. American Beet Sugar Co., Oxnard. Anahiem Sugar Co., Anahiem. The United States department of agriculture reported in February that both long and short staple cotton in California yielded 500 pounds to the acre. Missouri had the next best record, with 325 pounds of long staple and 295 of short staple per acre. The same authority reported California cotton as 100 per cent perfect in quality. This is largely due to the fact that there is very little rain to stain the fibre nor is there any frost until the season is practically over. Therefore all kinds of California cotton bring a premium over the prevailing market price on account of the beautiful whiteness of the product. According to Mr. W. E. Packard, agronomist in charge of the Imperial valley experiment farm, commercial cotton growing is at present confined to Imperial county and a small acreage in the Palo Verde valley of Riverside county. El Centro and Calexico are the chief cotton centers. However, it has been successfully grown in other counties and is adapted to many sections of the state where it is now unknown, provided a suitable supply of caeap and experienced labor can be developed. Three principal varieties are now being raised. The short staple yields from three fourths of a bale to two bales per acre, with a ginning percentage of about 33 per cent and a selling price ranging from 8 to 14 cents per pound. The Durango (medium staple) yields from one-half to two bales an acre, has a ginning percentage of from 29 to 31 per cent, and commands a price from 2 to 4 cents higher than the short staple. The Egyptian (long staple) has been successfully grown but labor and market conditions have discouraged its further extension. One of the remarkable features about cotton growing in California is the fact that re-seeding is not necessary. If the rows are ridged up well at the last cultivation, to prevent buds from freezing, a good stand of volunteer cotton is secured for the next crop. The extent of the industry in the Imperial valley has called for the installation of sixteen modern ginning machines, three cotton-seed oil mills and two compressors. HONEY PRODUCTION While honey is produced for the market in all of the principal valleys... These figures differ only slightly from those supplied by the Spreckels Sugar company, the American Beet Sugar company and the Alameda Sugar company, whose reports are compiled with great care. The beet sugar factories operating in California during 1914, as reported by the Alameda Sugar company, were as follows: American Beet Sugar Co., Chino. American Beet Sugar Co., Oxnard. Anaheim Sugar Co., Anaheim. Holly Sugar Co., Huntington Beach. Los Alamitos Sugar Co., Los Alamitos. San Joaquin Valley Sugar Co., Visalia. Santa Ana Co-Operative Sugar Co., Santa Ana. Southern California Sugar Co., Santa Ana. Union Sugar Co., Betteravia. The plant at Spreckels, in Monterey county, is said to be the largest sugar beet factory in the world. The total acreage in California sown to sugar beets in 1914 is reported by the state board of equalization as being 94,898. The leading counties were as follows: Orange, 25,250 acres; Monterey, 20,000; Ventura, 14,300; San Luis Obispo, 12,000. An interesting item is the report of the American Beet Sugar company, that it distributed in 1914, $14,100,922 in the state of California, of which nearly one-half went to the farmers for beets, about one-fifth for labor in factories and fields, and the rest in freight and incidentals.

HONEY PRODUCTION While honey is produced for the market in all of the principal valleys, the great bulk of the commercial product comes from the San Joaquin valley and the counties south. The total honey crop for the state for 1914 (as reported by the California State Bee Keepers association) was 450 carloads of extracted honey, or a total of 13,500,000 pounds. This was about fifty carloads short of expectation. The price was forced down by the European war and ranged from 4 to 7 cents per pound in carload lots. Taking 6 cents as an average, the total valuation of the extracted honey was $810,000. The production of comb honey, which is much neglected in California, was only about 18 per cent of total yield, but the price averaged about 11 cents per pound in carloads for good white grades. Since the state imports many carloads from the Rocky Mountains states every year, there is a large and inviting field for the production of more comb honey. The total yield of beeswax was about 500 pounds, valued at $150,000. The total of all the honey products of the state for 1914 is was $1,220,000. There are said to be 6,000 bee-keepers in the state, with 600,000 colonies of bees. A prominent bee expert in California estimates that 99 per cent of the available honey is lost, owing to the lack of bees to gather it from the 740,000 acres of fruit blossoms, and an alfalfa acreage equally large. Constitutionality of the law which requires that imported eggs be labeled will be tested in the case of William M. Foley, secretary of the California Bakers' association and the San Francisco Retail Bakers' association, convicted in a San Francisco court on two counts under the law. Violation of treaty rights and interference with foreign trade will be the basis for the attack, attorneys for Foley said. Foley was immediately granted a writ of habeas corpus returnable Monday. His arrest was caused in order to test the law. IF YOU LIKE GOOD BREAD buy it from one of the most modern and sanitary bakeries in the state. Eat WHITE LILY BREAD and you want no others.
