CONSERVATION OF WATERS IS SUBJECT ANNUAL MEETING OF INLAND WATERWAYS ASSOCIATION TO BE HELD AT SAN FRANCISCO DELEGATES REPRESENTING THE STATE, COUNTIES AND CITIES WILL DISCUSS IMPORTANT QUESTION The third annual meeting of the Inland Waterways association of California and a special congress under its auspices, will be held in the Palace hotel, San Francisco, Monday and Tuesday, February 21-22, 1916. All sessions of the congress, which will open at 10 A.M., February 21st, will be public, and a cordial invitation to attend and participate in its discussions is extended to all who believe in a comprehensive plan for dealing with the waters of the state. To add to the interest of the congress and make its deliberations more effective, its discussions will center upon the one general topic: What Reorganization of state and Federal Agencies is Needed to Promote Economy and Efficiency in Work for the Conservation, Control and Utilization of the Waters of California? At the opening session there will be a graphic presentation of California's water problems. In the afternoon a plan for a state and national department of public works will be presented, and there will be an open discussion to determine what consolidation and co-ordination of the work of present state authorities the appointment of six persons to cooperate with certain state officials in preparing recommendations for such a policy. The governor has made the appointments and the body is at work under the name of the State Water Problems conference. Its objects are in direct line with the efforts of the association. This organization is the only state wide association dealing with this subject in a comprehensive way, and it solicits the support of all who are interested in up-building a great commonwealth. McPHEE HELD UP SHORT WEIGHT OLIVES Declares Shippers and Dealers Must Obey the Law George McPhee, county sealer of weights and measures, has been showing an unusual fondness for canned olives of late. He is ordinarily satisfied with olives that come out of a barrel and are lifted out with a sleeve-spoon, if that is what that kind of an implement is called. McPhee's present activity in relation to pickled olives, however, is not one of appetite but of weight. He is taking steps to see that consumers of olives in this county get as much as they pay for, according to law. The state law and the federal law say that olives shall be sold as "net weight fruit." That means that the brine shall not be included. In the last day of two McPhee has opened cans of eighteen different brands, and he has found that nine brands were short weight. Some cans that were marked two pounds had only eighteen and a half ounces of olives in them. Tuesday McPhee opened up cases shipped by the Curtis Olive company of Los Angeles. He found that cans that should have contained from 28 to 32 ounces of olives contained only a little over 18 ounces. Thirteen cases of these olives were ordered held up from sale. In each case are 24 cans. McPhee is to continue his investigations. "I am told," said McPhee, "that last year's olive crop was so large that the canneries have enough on hand right now to supply the comming year's demand, even if none of this year's olives..." gress and make its deliberations more effective, its discussions will center upon the one general topic: What Reorganization of state and Federal Agencies is Needed to Promote Economy and Efficiency in Work for the Conservation, Control and Utilization of the Waters of California? At the opening session there will be a graphic presentation of California's water problems. In the afternoon a plan for a state and national department of public works will be presented, and there will be an open discussion to determine what consolidation and co-ordination of the work of present state boards and commissions is practicable. In the forenoon of February 22nd the reorganization of Federal agencies proposed by the Newlands-Broussard bill, will be considered, and the Congress will close with a study of some of the financial problems involved in dealing by the public with the waters of the state. Only a few set addresses will be delivered, as it is desired to give ample time for general discussion, in order that the association may have the benefit of a representative expression of public opinion to guide it in its plans for future work. All members of the association will be recognized as delegates to the congress and are urged to attend it and to plan to remain for the annual business session the afternoon of February 22nd. Organizations and political subdivisions of the state holding more than one membership are urged to send the full number of representatives to which they are entitled. The appointment of delegates to the congress is also earnestly requested on the following basis: By the governor of the state, 15 delegates. By each federation of state wide scope interested in the work of the Inland Waterways Association, 15 delegates. By each mayor, each board of supervisors, the governing body of each irrigation, water, reclamation, drainage or flood control district, and each state or other public agency dealing with water, five delegates. By each chamber of commerce, board of trade, improvement club, women's club, farmers' organization, or other organization interested in water problems, five delegates. The names and addresses of delegates appointed should be sent promptly to the association, 150 Pine street, San Francisco, in order that complete details regarding the congress may be sent them. Special round trip rates on the certificate plan from all parts of California have been granted on all railroads on account of the Congress. These tickets will be on sale from February 19 to February 22nd inclusive, and return tickets will be honored leaving San Francisco at any time after the certificates have been signed by the secretary of the congress until the night of February 24th. Full fare must be paid to San Francisco and a certificate must be secured when purchasing the ticket. This Tuesday McPhee opened up cases shipped by the Curtis Olive company of Los Angeles. He found that cans that should have contained from 28 to 32 ounces of olives contained only a little over 18 ounces. Thirteen cases of these olives were ordered held up from sale. In each case are 24 cans. McPhee is to continue his investigations. "I am told," said McPhee, "that last year's olive crop was so large that the canneries have enough on hand right now to supply the comming year's demand, even if none of this year's olives are sold." SWEET POTATO CROP TO BE SHORT The Fullerton sweet potato production this year is to fall below that of last year. Shipments have been stopped for the present because of the rain. Last year, citrus growers who had planted young trees, placed sweet potatoes between the rows. Many of the trees this year have attained a growth which makes this impossible, with the result that the sweet potato production is to fall short. Nearly 2,000 sacks of sweet spuds were produced in the fertile Fullerton country last year. This year however, the output is destined to fall below that figure, according to growers' calculations. Possibly the largest single producer of sweet potatoes is the Stern and Goodman ranch, where it is estimated that 900 sacks will be produced this year. Several smaller ranches, according to information there, will produce crops ranging from 150 to 200 sacks.

These tickets will be on sale from February 19 to February 22nd inclusive, and return tickets will be honored leaving San Francisco at any time after the certificates have been signed by the secretary of the congress until the night of February 24th. Full fare must be paid to San Francisco and a certificate must be secured when purchasing the ticket. This certificate, when signed by the Secretary of the congress, will entitle the holder to purchase a return ticket at one third the regular fare. All delegates are urged to secure these certificates, and not to make use of the Washington's birthday rates, which will be available for a more limited time. The use of the certificates will enable delegates to leave home Saturday, February 19th, enjoy the week end at the Bay and remain for the convention and two days afterward. As the fine arts palace of the exposition is again open to visitors, with a large number of new pictures and many of the finest architectural features of the exposition will still be intact, it is expected that this opportunity for a much longer stay in San Francisco than is possible under the usual week end rates will be welcomed. The Palace hotel will be the headquarters of the congress and annual meeting. The registration of delegates begin at 9 a.m. February 21st, and it is desired that credentials be presented as early as possible. While the program has been planned for two days, an extension of the discussions may be desired by the delegates, so that all are urged to be prepared to remain at least until the 23rd. It is hoped to make this meeting the most notable in the history of the association. Following the exposition, should come an era of broad, constructive work for the development of California. Of basic importance are the waters of the state, if they are properly controlled and used. The need for a unified state policy in regard to waters was officially recognized by the legislature in 1915, which Farmer—Feb. 12—Applications will be classified, according to their experience and fitness, as head farmers and farm hands.

HADSALL SUCCEEDS IN PROMOTING A $750,000 PLANT AT SAN DIEGO WILL HAVE A CAPACITY OF 600 TONS DAILY—BEET LAND IS PLENTIFUL H. S. Hadsall, the man who, five years ago, promoted the Anaheim Sugar factory, and later the Southern California company’s plant at Santa Ana, has been at work for some months at San Diego on another big factory, and has again been successful, articles of incorporation having been filed. The company has a capital of $750,000 and will immediately begin the erection of a $600,000 building. After the plant was completed here Mr. Hadsall took charge of it as manager for the first year. Promoting plants, however, instead of managing them, is his business, although he is familiar with every detail of the work, and at the close of the first year’s business he resigned and moved to Los Angeles. During his two-years residence here Mr. Hadsall proved himself a good citizen, a man of business integrity, and his departure caused genuine regret. In promoting these plants Mr. Hadsall is doing valuable work for Southern California. He is developing an industry which will eventually be one of the greatest in the Southland, as word comes from Washington that the protective duty is to be maintained.

In promoting these plants Mr. Hadsall is doing valuable work for Southern California. He is developing an industry which will eventually be one of the greatest in the Southland, as word comes from Washington that the protective duty is to be maintained. The San Diego Union, speaking of the new plant, says: Preliminary steps for the establishment of a great beet sugar manufacturing enterprise in San Diego were taken yesterday in this city under the direction of H. S. Hadsall of Los Angeles, who is the promoter and director of similar enterprises that have been in successful operation for some time in this state. The factories are at Anaheim and Santa Ana, the latter plant being operated by the Southern California Sugar company and the former by the Anaheim Sugar company. The articles of incorporation of the company to do business in San Diego were filed yesterday in the county clerk's office, the name of the corporation being the San Diego Sugar company. The capital stock is $750,000 and the incorporators and directors are H. S. Hadsall, John E. Akerman, Frank Salmons, E. J. Henning, C. H. Wagner, F. M. White and P. C. Jackson. At a meeting of the board of directors to be held in a few days it is planned to elect John S. Akerman president of the company. C. A. Bradley of Chula Vista, a retired banker from Colorado, is interested in the enterprise and will take a position on the board of directors. "The plant will cost about $600,000 and will be ready for the manufacture of sugar about July 1, 1917," said Hadsall in an interview at the U. S. Grant Hotel last night. "The site has not yet been decided upon but it will be at some advantageous point on the San Diego water front. It will take fully a year to erect the factory and equip it for operations. Beets will be contracted for this fall, the harvest to begin in July of 1917. The season for making sugar in this section begins in the latter part of July and the beets are all cut from November 1 to 15." "The mill will have a capacity for the handling of about 600 tons of beets daily. I have thoroughly investigated the situation here and find that there are about 20,000 acres of land available for beet culture within a 50-mile radius of San Diego. A good portion of the best of this land is in the Tia Juana valley and along the line of the San Diego & Arizona railway. This haul is reasonable and practical, as many beet sugar factories draw their supplies of raw material from a distance of one hundred miles." "The San Diego plant will have a capacity of from twelve million to fifteen million pounds of sugar a year. The growers will be paid six dollars—and sometimes more—a ton, which will mean the payment through the local banks to the producers of raw wool." CITY OF MANY MEMORIES The gathering of the hosts for the final Balkan struggle about Saloniki is no novelty to that ancient city of many memories, for Saloniki is the Thessalonica of New Testament times and the Therme, or Hot Springs of the fifth century before Christ. In 1434 B.C. it was captured by the Athenians but Macedonian rule was soon restored, to be broken by the Romans after the battle of Pydna in 168 B.C. There Cicero spent his short exile in 58. Pompey's party made it headquarters in 49. Thessalonica became a free city in 39, as reward for services to Augustus in his struggle with Sextus Pompelus. The city flourished and in the time of Jesus wood ought to be proud of the Christmas present to Uncle Sam which their tariff folly produced. On imports valued at $30,799,642, entered at the 13 principal customs districts of the U.S., revenu was collected in the sum of $2,685,866. That accounts for Secretary McAdoo's financial jugglery, and his desire to levy a tax on everything from tombs stones to false teeth. He is at his wit's end trying to make both ends meet. Everything going out and nothing coming in, so far as revenues are concerned. SUPERVISORS RESOLVE AGAINST DIVISION OF WATER Board Declares Population of Santa Ana Township is 16,602 A resolution was adopted by the board of supervisors Tuesday protesting against the diversion of Rio Hondo and Los Angeles rivers into Anaheim Bay and Alamitos Bay. Demands on the county of Orange on the hospital and highway funds were allowed as read. The census of Santa Ana Judicial Township was determined to be 16,602.
