HARBOR AT NEW-PORT HAS MANY SUPPORTERS Continued from Page 1 forts to have the same remedied. President Wallace remarked that it would be well for citizens generally to keep a watchful eye out for breaks in the county highway pavements so that the continuity of the road's surface may not be interrupted. Supervisor Leck, in speaking of the upkeep of the county highways, stated that the shortage of money for that purpose worked a severe hardship, and that at present there were no funds available for that purpose. However, Mr. Leck stated the board of supervisors had the power to make a seven per cent levy for road purposes and that just as soon as the money became available the work would be attended to. He asked that the people rest easy for the present and relief would come just as soon as possible. R. J. McFadden, a member of the county highway commission, stated that they were fully cognizant of the state of affairs and that repairs would be attended to at the earliest possible moment. Reports were received from many committeemen who have been circulating petitions for signatures, asking the supervisors to appoint a commission of five, one from each supervisor district whose duty it would be to investigate the advisability of creating a harbor at Newport. At that time 1700 names had been secured. It is desired that 1300 more be appended to the pose. In the event that a favorable report would be made a county bond issue would be the next move. It is currently rumored that $150,000 would be about the sum asked, although some argue that a great deal larger amount would be required. Governmental aid can only be had after the county shows a disposition to expend money in perfecting the harbor. According to a new law passed by the last legislature counties are given the power to bond themselves for harbor purposes where the natural advantages exist. Newport Beach will spend $100,000 in building a jetty at the eastern end of the bay and stands otherwise ready to improve its harbor. It is claimed by well versed people that should one million dollars be expended upon the Newport harbor a better port could be established there than there now exists at San Pedro. Speeches were made by many m n from all sections of the county in favor of the contemplated harbor, and all pledged the project their support. A number of citizens have not yet signed the petitions, not that they are opposed to the harbor project, but for the reason that they wish to acquaint themselves more fully in regard to the measure. The harbor law is a new one. The bill as enacted at the last session of the legislature was printed in full in the issue of the Gazette of August 26. A. S. Ralph, secretary of the Orange County Autmobile Club, stated that that organization is looking after violations of the auto rules as laid down by the Southern California Auto Club. The pernicious practice of cutting in ahead of a machine, without first tooting the horn, is a dangerous thing to do. When a driver desires to pass another auto he should give a warning signal with his horn, keep to the left and then not attempt to pass the car ahead until it poses.

At that time 1700 names had been secured. It is desired that 1300 more be appended to the petitions, to allow ample leeway for possible eliminations. Before petitions can be considered by the supervisors, signatures totalling 65 per cent of the voters and freeholders in the county must be secured. That number would be about 2700. From the date of the meeting, Wednesday night, ten days yet remained for securing the remainder, a total of 1300. The acquisition of proper signatures is a difficult matter and much labor will have to be done if the required number of signers is secured. None but registered voters and freeholders can sign the petitions. W. T. Brown of Fullerton reported progress over his way and he felt confident that the requisite number would be secured. J. W. Duckworth who is named as one of the prospective harbor commissioners, made a strong speech in favor of the harbor and declared that all should get busy with getting signatures. He stated that 324 had signed in this city. J. A. Armitage spoke in favor of the harbor, claiming it would be a good undertaking for the county. He is giving the matter of securing signatures his earnest attention and says everyone at Sunset Beach is signing up. At Bolsa 35 bona fide signatures had been secured. At La Habra over 50 per cent of the population had signed up. Similar encouraging reports were received from many other sections of the county. Linn Shaw, one of the wheel horses at Santa Ana, reported that a number of signatures had been secured in that town with more to follow. Mr. Shaw sees a great enterprise for Orange county in the establishment of the Newport harbor and is doing his level best to get the people to sign the petitions.

When a driver desires to pass another auto he should give a warning signal with his horn, keep to the left and then not attempt to pass the car ahead until at least 100 feet intervenes between the car desired to be passed and any other vehicle in front of that car. On the trip to the meeting Mr. Ralph stated that a large car cut in ahead of him without giving due warning, narrowly averting an accident. He got the car's number and will turn it into headquarters and see that the driver is punished. The meeting gave its approval. Upon invitation of H. A. Wassum of Tustin the next meeting will be held at that place. Among the delegation from this city who attended the meeting were: R. J. McFadden, J. W. Duckworth, H. V. Weisel, Howard Krause, Robt.

CITRUS EDUCATION URGED FOR GROWERS Teach New Uses to Which Fruit May Be Put, Suggests Commercial Expert Teaching new uses to which the fruit may be put, thereby creating through advertising a greater demand for California oranges and lemons was urged upon California fruit growers by Charles C. Parlin, commercial expert, in an address given in Los Angeles a few days ago. That supply of oranges and lemons has caught up with the demand was the declaration of Parlin. And now that this condition confronts the growers and marketers of citrus fruits, it is necessary for them to increase the demand to be able to continue profitably to dispose of their products. While the demand for California's citrus fruits has increased wonderfully during the last few years, the supply, made available by the bearing of new groves, has advanced even more.

Mr. Shaw sees a great enterprise for Orange county in the establishment of the Newport harbor and is doing his level best to get the people to sign the petitions. Mr. York of La Habra reported that he had been working zealously in getting his neighbors to sign up and says over his way the harbor project is receiving encouragement. Up in the Ollinda district people are signing the petitions. However, it is said, quite a number of residents, there are buying property under contract, and are thereby deprived from attaching their signatures. None but those having title vested in their own names can sign the petitions. They must also be registered voters. J. C. Metzgar firmly believed that enough signatures would be secured in the time allowed and to back up his opinion he wagered, he said, a $5 hat with a fellow citizen that the harbor would become a realty. When the assemblage adjourned it was unanimously agreed that everyone present should get busy and secure the requisite number of signatures. At that time 1300 more names were needed. ePeople from all over the county are now engaged in circulating the petitions and while the time is growing short it is confidently expected by those conversant with the situation that they will come off with flying colors. In the event of the required number of signatures being secured, the petitions will be presented to the supervisors. That body will then appoint five harbor commissioners who in turn will ascertain whether or not it would be feasible to establish the harbor. About $5000 would be appropriated by the supervisors for that purpose. While the demand for California's citrus fruits has increased wonderfully during the last few years, the supply, made available by the bearing of new groves, has advanced even more.

He can make or break jobbers, wholesalers and retailers and if you have the quality and advertise it, place it before the consumer, you have solved a great problem. In discussing informally, after his address, features of the marketing and advertising situation, Parlin suggested that advertising the taste and uses to which citrus fruits may be put is more important than emphasizing the external appearance. In commenting after Parlin's address, G. Harold Powell, who acted as chairman of the meeting, said that the growers were planning to advertise extensively during the coming season. Mr. Powell also said that good results had been noted as a result of advertising in the last year. Upwards of 200 growers from all sections of Southern California attended the meeting. After the address several of those present asked questions concerning the handling of the marketing situation. Expert Plano Tuning by F. W. Schmidt, 222 East Center street. Sunset 202, Home 64. TYPHOID FEVER TO BE MADE RARE IN STATE BUREAU OF SANITARY ENGINEERING ESTABLISHED BY STATE BOARD OF HEALTH LOSS OF LIFE BY DREAD DISEASE DECREASING, MALADY SOON TO BE WIPED OUT (Correspondence of the Gagette) Berkeley, Aug. 31, 1915. Clean water to drink—this is the long first step to take toward making typhoid fever as rare in California as the mastodon or the sabre toothed tiger. To help people to get clean water to drink, and to help prevent the present wicked and inexcusable sacrifice of several hundred innocent lives every year to typhoid fever, the state board of health has just established a bureau of sanitary engineering, with its offices and laboratories at the University of California, and has appointed as chief engineer and director of the bureau Chester G. Gillespie, of high reputation as a sanitary engineer and one of the first men who ever completed the full professional course in sanitary engineering in the university. He received his professional training at the hands of Charles Gilman Hyde, professor of sanitary engineering, who for a number of years past, as consulting engineer of the board of health, has been doing work of great value for the improvement of public health conditions in California. Man wastes, so that streams may not become contaminated, and milk-cans and the milk supplies be not exposed to infection. Typhoid is primarily a country and small town disease, because large cities take more care to have clean water and adequate systems of sewage disposal. There are two rural counties in the interior of California, for example, that have an annual death rate from typhoid eight times as heavy as that of San Mateo county, for instance. The great reason for this is that the sources of water-supply in San Mateo county have been better protected from danger of pollution. Its towns do not pour their sewage into streams from which other people must take their drinking water. The new chief engineer and director of the bureau of sanitary engineering began his professional work by spending several years in filtration experiments for the People's Water company of Oakland. Then he aluded in the designing and building of the huge swimming pool on the university campus. Then he went East, participated in the designing of the filter plant for Minneapolis, had charge of the designing of a water filtration plant for Evanston, Illinois, and returned recently to Sacramento to design a sewage screen system for the treatment of sewage from the annexed districts and from certain older portions of the city of Sacramento. Fifteen Hundred Freshmen Begin Work at Berkeley There are 1617 freshmen in the university of California this fall. This is larger than last year's freshman registration. It is an interesting fact, however, that the number enrolled for engineering has decreased, being 160 as compared with 184 for the previous year. The present national unwillingness to engage in the bureau Chester G. Gillespie, of high reputation as a sanitary engineer and one of the first men who ever completed the full professional course in sanitary engineering in the university. He received his professional training at the hands of Charles Gilman Hyde, professor of sanitary engineering, who for a number of years past, as consulting engineer of the board of health, has been doing work of great value for the improvement of public health conditions in California. Since Gillespie's graduation, 8 years ago, he has been actively at work designing and building chlorination and filter plants, sewage disposal systems, water works, etc., in various parts of the United States. The state's new sanitary engineer has only just arrived in Berkeley to begin his work. Already requests are waiting for him from more than thirty California towns for advice as to how to go about getting clean water and how to protect themselves against typhoid, intestinal complaints of children, and other water-borne diseases. Not only as to water-supply problems will the new bureau be of great service, but also in the matter of sewage disposal, for advice will be given to the engineers and authorities of towns and villages throughout California as to how best treat sewage so as to render it harmless to the community which seeks to dispose of it, and to towns down stream as well. There are already laws requiring that all public water supplies must have permits from the state board of health, approving the sanitary quality of sources and supply. There are laws, also, that a community must not discharge sewage into inland waters, such as slakes or rivers, nor into tidal estuaries, without permits from the state board. In order that this legislation may be carried out, the new bureau will make a careful study of water supply and sewage disposal conditions throughout the whole state. Remarkable advance has been made in California in the last few years in reducing the death rate from typhoid. Last year only about three-fifths as many people died of typhoid in California, in proportion to population, as did four years earlier. In 1910 there were 477 deaths from typhoid, which, with a population of 2,386,000 represented a death rate of 19.9 per hundred thousand from this one disease. In 1914, with an estimated population of 2,763,000 there were 374 deaths or 13.54 per hundred thousand. Fifteen Hundred Freshmen Begin Work at Berkeley There are 1617 freshmen in the university of California this fall. This is larger than last year's freshman registration. It is an interesting fact, however, that the number enrolled for engineering has decreased, being 160 as compared with 184 for the previous year. The present national unwillingness to engage in new engineering construction is thought by the university to be the explanation. Of the 160 engineering students in this year's freshmen class, 95 are in mechanics and electrical engineering, 46 in civil engineering, and 19 in mining. There are a host of freshmen in the college of agriculture, 150 of whom 10 are women. There are 35 freshmen in Chemistry of whom 2 are women, and 93 in commerce, of whom 6 are women. The college of letters and science, which includes not only those enrolled for the traditional college course but also those who intend later to go into law, medicine or teaching, or who intend to specialize in natural science, has enrolled 1079 freshmen of whom 722 are women. The total registration on the campus at Berkeley has now come to 5407, which is nearly three hundred more than this time last year, and the year's registration in all departments, including the summer session, will exceed eleven thousand. Teach Farmers to Grow Their Own Vegetables How to grow vegetables will be taught theoretically and practically, with actual work in the vegetable garden, as one of the short courses in dairying, horticulture, farm crops, poultry husbandry and animal husbandry to be offered at the University farm at Davis from October 4 to November 12 for practical farmers and their wives. There are 25 acres of vegetable garden at the farm, and fifteen or more varieties of vegetables are being successfully grown there on a commercial scale. The cabbage grown there during the past year was of excellent yield and of such superior quality that it was readily marketed at high prices. Plans are now being laid for a comparative test of fifty or more varieties of lettuce, and these trials will be under observation during the short course. in California in the last few years in reducing the death rate from typhoid. Last year only about three-fifths as many people died of typhoid in California, in proportion to population, as did four years earlier. In 1910 there were 477 deaths from typhoid, which, with a population of 2,386,000 represented a death rate of 19.9 per hundred thousand from this one disease. In 1914, with an estimated population of 2,763,000 there were 374 deaths or 13.54 per hundred thousand. Yet most of these 374 deaths were totally unnecessary. Among the great factors which brought about this gratifying reduction were the work of the board of health in arousing the interest of the whole community in the fight against typhoid, the investigations of typhoid outbreaks by the state hygienic laboratory, such as its investigation resulting in the discovery of one woman a typhoid carrier, who had given the disease to ninety-four people by preparing one single dish of spaghetti, and the work of the state board of health in sending free to any physician in California anti-typhoid vaccine, prepared at the state hygienic laboratory at the university a vaccine by the use of which anyone who desires may be immunized against typhoid fever. The creation of this new bureau of sanitary engineering insures valuable cooperation between the state and the individual communities of California for the suppression of sources of typhoid infection, through purification of contaminated water supplies and through improved methods of sewage disposal. Another great task to be done is to arouse every farmer and every country dweller in California to the importance, for the protection of his own family and of the community in general of seeing to it that his own farm or ranch has a proper sanitary method for the disposal of hu There are 25 acres of vegetable garden at the farm, and fifteen or more varieties of vegetables are being successfully grown there on a commercial scale. The cabbage grown there during the past year was of excellent yield and of such superior quality that it was readily marketed at high prices. Plans are now being laid for a comparative test of fifty or more varieties of lettuce, and these trials will be under observation during the short course. Students taking the course will not only hear lectures and discussions, but do field work, practicing and observing the principal methods of irrigation, of fertilization, of preparation of soils, and of packing vegetables for shipment to market. JITNEY BUS OWNERS SUED FOR DAMAGES Injured Passenger on Star Stage Begins Suit for $1525 Thirteen jitney owners, who associated themselves together in a cooperative association, known as the Star Stages, for the purpose of competition with the Crown stages, find themselves defendants in a suit for $1525 damages as a result of an accident that occurred to Eben Douglas of Santa Ana, who was a passenger on a Star stage on July 4. Douglass is suing the jitney owners collectively and individually. His complaint states that he got into a Star stage at Newport Beach to go to Santa Ana. The jitbus driver directed him to give up his seat to a woman. Douglas stood on the running-board. The jitbus was packed full of people. Altogether the stage, a Ford five-passenger car, carried seventeen persons. Near Harper, Douglass's hat blew off. He called to the driver, who stopped the car. Just before it stopped, however, it gave a jerk and Douglass was thrown to the pavement on his head. He was unconscious for two or three days. A review of automobile accidents that have occurred in this county in the last few months shows seven persons dead and over fifty seriously injured. One wreck was due to glaring lights, two to carlessness in approaching railroad crossings, one to careless driving of a jitney, one to speeding, one to defective brakes and one to an attempt to cut around an automobile when another was approaching. Of the accidents that brought severe injuries but no deaths, five were due to carless driving, four to cutting around another automobile, three to defective steering gears, one to defective brakes, two to speeding, two to bursting tires, one to reckless driving, one to fog, two to glaring lights and two to the obstruction of the view of a motorist approaching a corner.
