U. S. MAKING A STUDY OF HIDDEN WATERS INVESTIGATIONS BEING MADE OF UNDERGROUND SOURCES OF SUPPLY IN ALL PARTS OF COUNTRY VALUABLE REPORTS ON THE SUBJECT ARE BEING ISSUED BY THE GOVERNMENT Most of the people on the farms and in the villages and smaller cities of the United States obtain their domestic water supplies from the underground sources. Ground waters are also extensively used throughout the country for live stock, railroad and other industrial supplies and for irrigation. The United States Geological survey early recognized the great importance of the ground waters and the numerous complex problems relating to their development for human use. Hence for many years it has carried on investigations and surveys of these waters. Much more work has been done in certain states than in others but every state has received some attention the policy being to reach every section of the country but to do most of the work where it will be of the greatest practical value to the people. As a result of these investigations the survey has published nearly 150 reports dealing with ground waters, and others are in press or in preparation. There are still large areas that have been covered only by rapid reconnaissance, but it is planned to continue the work from year to year until the entire country has been covered by a detailed ground water survey. The published reports differ widely in character on account of the great differences in the geologic occurrence of the underground waters and in the uses for which they are developed in party in 1912 and saw reason for rejoicing in the fact that it was reuniting once more in a common and commanding purpose. "I prefer to say Reuniting" he added. "I do not like over much the words return or come back for I have no distinction to draw and in our reunion, when completed, the republican party will not only find victory but what is far more important, prosperity and repose will once more be granted to our business, and our high standing abroad so sadly impaired will be returned." Former Senator Theodore Burton of Ohio, in a speech at Seattle asked the Progressives to re-enter the republican party. Addressing the Young Men's Republican Club, he asked that the progressives cease being a democratic aid society. He declared that mutual concessions were necessary to a perfect reconciliation. The speaker then went on to score President Wilson's Mexican policy. He declared America must maintain Mexico under its tutelage or leave the country entirely alone. He favored the latter course. BEE INSPECTOR PLEASANTS ATTACKED BY BULL Life was Saved by the Heroic Action Of His Wife J. E. Pleasants, county bee inspector, was attacked by an enraged bull Thursday last, and but for the prompt action of his wife, who drove the infuriated animal away with a pitchfork, would have been gored to death. Pleasants lives on his ranch in the Santiago canyon, where he has resided since early days in the county. Among his cattle is an 18-month-old bull that had shown no signs of viciousness contain 65 per cent dates of Southern about 70 per cent More than 200 wounds shown in the Sou The published reports differ widely in character on account of the great differences in the geologic occurrence of the underground waters and in the uses for which they are developed in different parts of the country. More over, some reports give the results of intensive studies of small areas, while others are based on rapid examinations of large areas. In so far as is practicable these reports give, for every locality that is covered, the depths, character, and yields of the underlying water bearing beds, the height to which the water from each bed will rise in wells and the prospects of obtaining flows, the quality of the water in each bed for domestic, industrial or irrigation use, the best method of sinking wells, the cost of wells and of pumping, the depth below which drilling should not be carried, the percaptions that should be taken to prevent pollution and the total quantity that can safely be pumped. On account of the difficulties involved this information is of course never so complete or so definite as would be desirable, even after the most careful investigations have been made. The largest ground water developments in late years have been those designed to provide water for irrigation, and consequently most of the geological survey's recent work has been done in the western part of the country. According to the census report 452,000 acres were irrigated in the arid and semiarid states in 1909 with well water, more than two-thirds of which was brought to the surface by pumping. At the present time the acreage is considerably larger. Most of the irrigation with ground water is done in California, but further developments are possible in every western state. Moreover, irrigation with ground water is not confined to the arid regions. The census report shows that in 1909 moer than 1,400 wells were pumped in Louisiana, Texas, and Arkansas for their irrigation of 110,000 acres of rice, and pumping plants for irrigating fruit and vegetables are installed in several localities in the East. A function of the geological survey is to show where further developments of ground water for irrigation can profitably be made, and what is still more important, to warn homeseekers against settling on arid land and then attempting developments that are not practicable. Very brief reports have been published on each of the states east of the Mississippi, and more detailed reports on southern Male, Connecticut; Long Island, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi; the Blue Grass region of Kentucky, southwestern Ohio, north-central Indiana, nearly all of Michigan. J. E. Pleasants, county bee inspector, was attacked by an enraged bull Thursday last, and but for the prompt action of his wife, who drove the infuriated animal away with a pitchfork, would have been gored to death. Pleasants lives on his ranch in the Santiago canyon, where he has resided since early days in the county. Among his cattle is an 18-months-old bull that had shown no signs of viciousness until he attacked his owner. Pleasants was unaware of danger until he was struck from behind, and tossed into the air. He had no sooner struck the ground than the bull was upon him, seeking to kill him. Hearing her husband's call for help, Mrs. Pleasants ran from the house. Seizing the pitchfork she ran into the pen and jabbed the bull on the nose. Alarmed by the swiftness of the attack and the pain inflicted by the woman, the bull backed away, bellowing loudly. Mr. Pleasants got to his feet and staggered to the fence. Not until then did Mrs. Pleasants cease her onslaught upon the bull. She had no difficulty in getting safely outside the pen. Though frightfully bruised Mr. Pleasants has no broken bones, and will suffer no serious results from the experience. The result to the bull was serious. The following day he was sold to a butcher. Mr. Pleasants is 77 year old. SHOOTING GAME BIRDS "There are a few irresponsible hunters in Orange county who are disregarding the game laws and closed seasons on quail and doves, and while rabbit hunting have shot game birds," said Game Warden W. E. Adkinson. "We haven't been able as yet to catch any hunters in the act, but from evidence we have found we know that a few birds have been shot. I have a suspicion as to the identity of some of the parties, and if they do any more of this sort of thing, or if any one else is caught shooting game out of season, they'll surely land in the jail for the offense. We intend to enforce the game laws, and are working on clues now which may lead to the identity of the parties who shot quail in the canyons last few days." At one point Mr. Adkinson found a shell box in which were a quantity of fruit. It contain 65 per cent dates of Southern India about 70 per cent dates of Southern play section.

North Carolina, Georgia, and eastern Tennessee, the reports on Alabama, Virginia and North Carolina being published by the respective state surveys. A report on the underground waters of Wisconsin, prepared by the Federal and state surveys, will be published by the state. Reports have been published on southern Minnesota, all of Iowa and Missouri, parts of Arkansas and all of Louisiana. Several reports have been published on South Dakota, one of which covers the entire state. There are reports for parts of Nebrask, Kansas, Oklahoma, Wyoming and eastern Colorado. There are 10 reports on Texas and others are in preparation, but much of the western part of the state has not yet been covered. There are 10 reports covering parts of Washington and Oregon, 13 covering parts of New Mexico and Arizona, and 20 covering parts of California, and others are in preparation. Reports have also been published on nearly all of western Utah, and on small parts of Nevada, Idaho, and Montana. Guides to desert watering places have been published for southern California, southern Nevada, western Utah and central New Mexico. REPUBLICANS ARE REUNITING Senator Henry Cabot Lodge Sees Much Reason for Rejoicing WORCHESTER, Mass., Aug. 14—United States Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, speaking today at the outing of the Worchester County Republican Club, deplored the division of the suspicion as to the identity of some of the parties, and if they do any more of this sort of thing, or if any one else is caught shooting game out of season, they'll surely land in the jail for the offense. We intend to enforce the game laws, and are working on clues now which may lead to the identity of the parties who shot quail in the canyons last few days." At one point Mr. Adkinson found a shell box in which were a quantity of quail feathers, which had been stripped from quail when the game was dressed. At a couple of other points feathers were found, and the officers are now working on clues which may lead to the apprehension of the guilty parties. While violators of the law may escape capture for a time, it is almost a sure thing that they will be caught sooner or alter if they persist in evading the law. Mr. Adkinson has several deputies on duty in various parts of the county, and they are keeping a sharp lookout for game law violators—either bird hunters or hunters without 1915-16 licenses. At a half an hour after sunset Friday night, August 6, the rabbit season closed and rabbit shooting must not again be indulged in again until October 15, when the season under the new game laws opens. There are officers out on the ground to see that the game laws are obeyed, and hunters caught shooting will be arrested. While no sensational bags of game have been reported during the past week in which rabbits have been hunted, practically every hunter who fared forth in search of the elusive cotton-tail or brush rabbit came back with a plenty for himself and neighbors, and few kicks have been heard. The year seems to be very good for rabbits, and it is thought that when the new season opens on October 15 that there will still be a good supply for the wary hunter. The Orange County League has placed its favoring the abolishment department is unnecessary, of little use, and the ranchers in fronterty roadside trees are typically the entire business which was held in chamber at the city hall was to condemn the work, this subject being exclusion of all else. One of the chief investigators league, made his report estry work, and a volley followed, taken part ininent people of the courtion the report was a committee of A. C. Till and J. S. Brooks was before the county board at their next meeting; of the league ask for the county forestry we DATE DISPLAY AT THE FAIR IS UNIQUE MAGNIFICENT SHOWING MADE BY SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA GROWERS AT THE FAIR MORE THAN 250 VARIETIES, MOSTLY FROM THE COACHELLA VALLEY ARE EXHIBITED One of the unique displays of the California building at the Panama Pacific International exposition is the date display which has been installed in the magnificent Southern California section. Not only have the inhabitants of the United States who have inspected the date display been surprised but even the date importers of European and Oriental countries have received the shock of their lives when they found that Southern California meats the world on date culture. Not in quantity of course, because the date industry is young here, but on quality because the dates have been pronounced by experts to be superior to any ever before cultivated. About 15 years ago the first dates were planted in the Coacholla valley, riverside county, by the federal government. Today there are two large government experimental date farms there, one at Mecca and the other at Indio. The farmers of the valley have learned that a profit of $1,000 per acre is most conservative hence they are turning to date culture. Forty-nine trees are planted to the acre and each tree will bear annually about 250 pounds of fruit. The dates of Algiers contain 65 per cent sugar while the dates of Southern California contain about 70 per cent. More than 200 varieties of dates are shown in the Southern California disperhaps four fifths is for oranges and the remainder for lemons. The Orange County Fruit Exchange since September 1, 1914, has received $1,114,000, having shipped 1400 carloads of oranges and 400 carloads of lemons. This exchange now has 135 cars on the road from which reports have not been received, and before the 31st it will have shipped 125 cars additional. The exchange's total receipts for the year will reach $1,300,000. It is estimated that this exchange handles 70 per cent of the output south and east of the Santa Ana river. On that estimate the output for the district will total $1,880,000. Figuring the district north of the river ships as much fruit as the south and east district, the total of $3,760,000 is secured. AUTOMOBILE DRIVERS HELD RESPONSIBLE Superior Court Decides They Must Take Proper Precautions at Railway Crossings Automobile drivers must stop their cars, look and listen before crossing railroad tracks at grade if they are to receive damages from railroad companies in case of accident. This has been definitely decided in the most important case of this kind ever handled before the supreme court. The supreme court of the state of California has for the second time handed down a decision against O. G. Griffin, for damages against the Salt Lake Railroad for the death of his two minor children and injury to himself and wife in an accident on the Salt Lake Railroad near Colton. The supreme court for the second time reverses the award of $12,500 damages given by the jury. This decision which was written by operation of the canal, it is confidently predicted in official circles that the great waterway will fulfill the early expectations in every particular. HOP FIELDS OVERCROWDED The supply of hop pickers in and about Wheatland greatly exceeds the demand, according to reports, and assistance has been asked of the state commission of immigration and housing, in trying to prevent an overcrowding of the labor market in the hop fields this season. During the past week John Durst paid a personal visit to headquarters of the commission and requested the commission to warn people that there will be no work for hop pickers on their ranches this season, as they have already engaged a sufficient number of pickers to harvest the crop. Mr. Durst said that every train arriving at Wheatland is bringing families of foreigners who he says, will be unable to secure employment in the hop fields. He says that while the season will not open until about August 20, there are already more than 600 pickers camped on the ranch. Contrary to their usual custom, the Durst brothers have not advertised for hop pickers this year. In fact, they have resorted to paid advertisements to warn people that a sufficient number of hop pickers have already been engaged and that others coming to the hop fields will find it almost impossible to secure employment. In response to the appeal from the growers, who have expressed a desire to cooperate with the commission, they have issued a circular letter telling of conditions in the hop fields and warning people to stay away from Wheatland and vicinity. The commission will do all in its power to assist in averting trouble arising from an Today there are two large government experimental date farms there, one at Mecca and the other at Indio. The farmers of the valley have learned that a profit of $1,000 per acre is most conservative hence they are turning to date culture. Forty-nine trees are planted to the acre and each tree will bear annually about 250 pounds of fruit. The dates of Algiers contain 65 per cent sugar while the dates of Southern California contain about 70 per cent. More than 200 varieties of dates are shown in the Southern California display section. At present there are more than 40,000 imported trees in the Coachella valley alone, of which 1500 are in bearing. There are also 600,000 seedlings of which 3,500 are bearing. The imperial valley, which has an ever increasing date acreage is exhibiting dates in the palace of horticulture and later in the season will install a large display in the Southern California section of the California building. The first successful date tree of the country was planted in this valley in 1853 and to the Imperial valley is due the credit for the origin of the industry. One date farm this district contains 25 acres while there are several smaller farms. Lectures on imperial valley dates are given daily in the Southern California motion picture theatre where films representing the date industry of the Imperial valley are shown. So magnificent is this Southern California date display that the Minister of Agriculture of Japan and date importers of Berlin have made special trips to the building where they have spent hours studying the fruit. Even Americans are surprised at this date display because they have been taught to believe that the date is strictly an old world product. The fact is that the old world dates are far inferior to the California date and has to be dipped in preserving syrups before they placed on the market. In the display are many dates from which the seed were extracted two years ago. The seeds have not sprouted trees but the dates are as fresh as they were on the day they were picked. In the display are shown fancy packaged fruit, processed fruit and processed blossoms, both male and female. Lectures and films on the Coachella valley dates are given each Sunday in the Southern California motion picture theater. Southern California also has a date exhibit in the Palace of Horticulture. This contains trees as well as fruit and it is planned to transplant a bearing tree from the south to the exposition within a few weeks. The date display is all the more wonderful when one stops to consider that a part of the date producing district is little more than 100 miles from the great metropolis of Los Angeles and not in the deserts of Northern Africa or ePrsla where the largest towns are little more than dirty villages. It is safe to say that South Carolina led before the supreme court. The supreme court of the state of California has for the second time handed down a decision against O. G. Griffin, for damages against the Salt Lake Railroad for the death of his two minor children and injury to himself and wife in an accident on the Salt Lake Railroad near Colton. The supreme court for the second time reverses the award of $12,500 damages given by the jury. This decision which was written by Justice Melvin, and concurred in by Justices Hinshaw, Lorigan and Shaw, says in part: "A person approaching a railroad track, which is itself a warning of danger, must take advantage of every opportunity to look and listen. It is the duty of the river on a highway approaching a railroad crossing to use ordinary care in selecting a time and place to look and listen for coming trains. He should stop for the purpose of making such observations when necessary. It is his duty to use all of his faculties, and it is not enough if he merely listens, believing that the people in charge of an approaching engine will ring a bell or sound a whistle. “If, (Griffin) had stopped at a point where his head would have been sixteen feet from the track there would have been five feet between the front of his car and the zone of danger from a locomotive and he could have obtained from that point an unobstructed view of the rails for a distance of approximately twelve hundred feet. Instead of stopping to look when he reached this first available place for seeing, Mr. Griffin chose to bring his automobile to a standstill at a point about thirty-five feet east of the track, where it would be impossible to see a train approaching from the south. At this point he stopped to listen and to look for smoke. "He was running at a very low rate of speed and it would have been easy for him to stop a short distance beyond the fence corner at a place of complete safety and one well suited to observation. Failing to do this amounts to contributory negligence on his part." RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT Whereas our lodge has again suffered loss in the death of Sister Mary Wilson, who departed this life July 7, 1915, be it resolved that we the members of Lois Rebekah lodge No. In response to the appeal from the growers, who have expressed a desire to cooperate with the commission, they have issued a circular letter telling of conditions in the hop fields and warning people to stay away from Wheatland and vicinity. The commission will do all in its power to assist in averting trouble arising from an over supply of labor in the hop fields. Certain localities continue to receive the stimulus of war orders. Pittsburgh's recent share of contracts aggregates $80,000,000, virtually all for railway equipment. Secretary Nordham of the Pittsburg Foreign Trade commission states that he has turned over to firms in other cities several large orders for munitions such as rifles and cartridges, which are not manufactured in the Pittsburg district. A. $25,000,000 contract for rifles, accountments and ammunition is to be let among Denver manufacturers provided they can handle such a large order. The Newhouse mills in New York city have received a contract from the Italian government for blankets, the majority of them to be 8½ pounds in weight, $500,000 to be delivered in October. The American Woolen company has also received a large order for blankets from the same government. Orders such as this account largely for the high price of wool. Efforts of all lies to place a $29,400,000 order for picric acid in St. Louis have failed because of inability of manufacturers there to supply such a demand, but several of the St. Louisians are contemplating the establishment of a picric acid plant in New Jersey. Picric acid sells at $1.50 a pound, an advance of one dollar since the war. Some practitioners administer strong stimulants to their patients in the belief that artificial strength thus derived will enable them to tide over a crisis. It is hoped that war orders will act in like manner on our national industries, that they may pass through the crisis of a Democratic administration. THE MOTHER COLONY When the writer first came to Los Angeles, Anaheim was already on the map of Los Angeles county, says the L.A. Times. It was founded by a Southern California also has a date exhibit in the Palace of Horticulture. This contains trees as well as fruit and it is planned to transplant a bearing tree from the south to the exposition within a few weeks. The date display is all the more wonderful when one stops to consider that a part of the date producing district is little more than 100 miles from the great metropolis of Los Angeles and not in the deserts of Northern Africa or ePrsla where the largest towns are little more than dirty villages. It is safe to say that Southern California dates will always demand the highest prices and it is needless to say that the date market can never be over-supplied. THEY WANT TO ABOLISH The Orange County Taxpayers League has placed itself on record as favoring the abolishment of the county forestry department, claiming the department is unnecessarily expensive, of little use, and damaging to the ranchers in front of whose property roadside trees are planted. Practically the entire business of the meeting which was held in the council chamber at the city hall in Santa Ana, was to condemn the county forestry work, this subject being aired to the exclusion of all else. S. J. Jackman, one of the chief investigators of the league, made his report upon the forestry work, and a volley of discussion followed, taken part in by many prominent people of the county. Upon motion the report was accepted, and a committee of A. C. Tlede, A. A. Mills and J. S. Brooks was appointed to go before the county board of supervisors at their next meeting, and in behalf of the league ask for abolishment of the county forestry work. FRUIT SHIPMENTS For the year ending the 31st inst. citrus growers of Orange county will receive $3,760,000. Of that amount RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT Whereas our lodge has again suffered loss in the death of Sister Mary Wilson, who departed this life July 7, 1915, be it resolved that we the members of Lois Rebekah lodge No. 268 do extend our heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved husband and children. Resolved that as a token of respect our charter be draped in mourning for a period of thirty days. Be it further resolved that a copy of these resolutions be spread upon the minutes of our lodge, a copy sent to the bereaved husband and one published in the local papers. Committee, Cornelia R. Gates. Henry A. Mang. Pearl Fergus. PANAMA CANAL ONE YEAR OLD The Panama Canal this week enters upon its second year of operation. The first steamship passed through the canal August 15, 1914, only a week or ten days after the beginning of the general war in Europe. During the 12 months that the canal has been in service the commerce of the world has been totally demoralized by the war. This has made it impossible to form a true estimate of the value of the great isthmian waterway under normal conditions. It is gratifying to note, however that even under the present unfavorable conditions the revenues of the canal exceed the operating expenses. The coastwise trade has furnished the bulk of the traffic to date. With the increase of transoceanic commerce that will come with the restoration of world peace, and with continued efficiency in the THE MOTHER COLONY When the writer first came to Los Angeles, Anaheim was already on the map of Los Angeles county, says the L. A. Times. It was founded by a company of German farmers more than half a century ago and was known as the Mother Colony. The writer lived there in the great real estate boom in the late eighties, a farmer himself among the Germans, and when he tried to get up a campaign to boom the town and sell real estate the hard headed, right-thinking inhabitants said No! in the most emphatic manner. Their reason was very sensible, for they had nothing to sell, being content with their holdings for their own uses. To create a real estate boom would have had but one end, to enhance the price of their lands many dollars an acre without increasing their intrinsic value one cent. This the sturdy, sensible Germans thought would be a good thing for the assessor and the tax collector out a mighty bad thing for the colony. The town is largely inhabited still by the descendants of the firsts ettlers, and the land is largely in their hands. The population of the city at the present time is set down by the officials at 5650. There are twelve churches in the city, and six schools. It is lighted by electricity, and that and the water plant are municipally owned at a cost of $136,000. Anaheim has four commercial and one savings bank with deposits aggregating $1,500,000. Of course there are telephone systems including a long distance service, a gas plant, a fire department, and three newspapers. As supplementary to the public schools is a free library.
