WILL ADVERTISE FOR ELECTION OFFICERS COUNTY CLERK WILL SELECT BOARDS FOR FIRST TIME UNDER NEW LAW RATE FOR LEGAL ADVERTISING WILL BE REDUCED TO HALF THE PRESENT FIGURE Acting under the new election law, County Clerk Williams was authorized by the board of supervisors to advertise for applications for sitting on election boards for all elections to be held during the life of the present great register, which will be until January 1, 1918. Hitherto election officers were appointed by the board of supervisors. Under the new law applications for appointment can be filed. In case there is not a sufficient number of applicants in a precinct, the board can fill by arbitrary appointment. Applications for places on the election boards for the bond election and the presidential primaries to be held the first and second of May must be filed with the county clerk by March 25. The way will be open for the filing of applications previous to other elections. The filing of an application will not necessarily mean appointment, for there may be more applications in a precinct than there are election officers to be appointed.

Fabrick and Reed Haas, two of the quartette of young men who stole C. C. Lovett's car from in front of Moose hall, Anaheim, several months ago, pleaded guilty in superior court this week, and each asked for probation. Haas was given a ten-year probationary sentence and Fabrick's case will be considered on March 6. A. C. Smiley and W. E. Buckingham the other two young men engaged in the theft, had previously plead guilty. Smiley, who was under age, was sentenced to the state school at Preston. He was under a probationary sentence at the time. Smiley attempted to clear his companions by taking the blame upon himself, declaring that he alone was guilty. He also, at his preliminary trial before Judge Howard, accused Officer Ryan of Pasadena, of beating him unmercifully and without cause. He asked that Rrayn be subpoenied to appear in superior court as a witness at his trial where he proposed to confront him with the evidence that he acted in a brutal manner toward him. Buckingham's application for probation will be heard March 6.

Although sheriff's officers immediately started on his trail he eluded them, but was arrested the next day on the streets of San Pedro, while making his way to the home of his brother, W. B. Duncan. Duncan, who is aged about 65, has lived alone on a ranch a mile west and half a mile north of the county GONGRESS TO ACT ON NEWPORT HARBOR Project is Incorporated in the House River and Harbor Bill Newport harbor lines have been included inthe bill of the Rivers and Harbors committee of the House of Representatives. This good news has been received from Congressman Kettner. It means that harbor lines will be established by Act of Congress and that Newport Beach as a city and Orange county as a county, if they see fit, may proceed in the development of the harbor along lines approved by the government. The first news of the success of the effort to get the harbor lines into the bill reached this country in a letter from Congressman Kettner to H. C. Head, chairman of the democratic county central committee. The letter to Head says: "You will be glad to receive the news contained in the enclosed copy of letter which I have today written to Mr. L. H. Wallace. One does not mind the work involved in those slow-moving matters in Washington, if at last we are successful." Kettner's letter to Wallace, long a leader in the harbor movement and at present a member and secretary of the Orange county harbor commission, follows: "After all this time and all of our effort, you will be glad to know that the Rivers and Harbors committee has today (February 7) put into the bill the matter of the harbor lines of Newport Harbor, as suggested by the Secretary of War in his letter of last summer, copy of which you have already seen. "You have doubtless heard that eleven of the committee voted against five of us who were in favor of new projects to be included in the bill, and, consequently, no new projects will be introduced. I had heart disease for a few days for fear this would include our Newport Beach matter, but am glad that the agony is over, and we have at last succeeded in securing what we have asked for." armed himself with a rifle Wednesday, shot a neighbor's dog, threatened the life of a Jap, flourished his gun on the streets of Santa Ana, and then disappeared. Although sheriff's officers immediately started on his trail he eluded them, but was arrested the next day on the streets of San Pedro, while making his way to the home of his brother, W. B. Duncan. Duncan, who is aged about 65, has lived alone on a ranch a mile west and half a mile north of the county hospital for fifteen years. Recently his actions have been peculiar, and neighbors state that they have suspected that his mind was not sound. Wednesday morning he went to the ranch farmed by a Japanese, S. Yamachika, adjoining Duncan's ranch. He leveled a 22-caliber rifle at the Jap, and told him that he would have to rent the Duncan ranch, and pay $125 down on the rent. The Japanese was badly scared, but finally Duncan ordered him to go to Anaheim and bring back the money. Yamachika jumped into a buggy and drove away as rapidly as possible, but instead of coming here he went to the district attorney's office, where he detailed his experience to Deputy Eden. After the Jap left, Duncan went to the homes of some of his neighbors, where his mutterings and threatening attitude with his small rifle caused alarm. He took a shot at a dog belonging to a neighbor, Mr. Brockett, and killed the dog. He told one of the neighbors that he was going to kill a Jap. Duncan left saying he was going to Anaheim. Instead, he went to Santa Ana. Constable Way of Whittier reported to Sheriff Jackson that he saw him loading a rifle in front of the White Cross drug store. At the time he saw Duncan, Way did not know he was wanted. "You have doubtless heard that eleven of the committee voted against five of us who were in favor of new projects to be included in the bill, and consequently, no new projects will be introduced. I had heart disease for a few days for fear this would include our Newport Beach matter, but am glad that the agony is over, and we have at last succeeded in securing what we have asked for." "It is good news, mighty good news" said Lew Wallace, since the committee has voted to include the matter in the bill, there is no question but that congress will put it through. The letter from the secretary of war referred to is one that stated that the war department would not establish the harbor lines in view of the desire of local public interest to improve the harbor, should be established by act of congress." SEWAGE DISPOSAL PERMITS GRANTED Permits for the disposal of sewage were granted to several cities by the California state board of health at its last meeting. Reedley was granted a permit to discharge sewage into Kings river, provided that a modern sprinkling filter be constructed, and that at a river stage of three feet or less no sewage be permitted to enter the river direct without additional treatment to completely sterilize it. The cities of El Centro and Imperial were given permits to discharge clarified sewage into New River. The city of Riverside was given a permit to discharge its sewage onto a tract of land containing 500 acres, located in the vicinity of the confluence of the old and new channels of the Santa Ana river.

The circulars are being posted in every garage in the company's territory and read as follows: "Every year brings an increase in motor vehicle accidents at railroad grade crossings. Grade crossings are unavoidable. They are one of the inconveniences of progress, to be eliminated just as rapidly as practicable. The railroads are doing their best, but it takes time and a great deal of money. 'No matter what safeguards we throw about our grade crossings, our labor is in vain without your help. All signs, bells, whistles, gates and flagman are helpless before an automobile driver's recklessness. 'For the purpose of observing the care exercised by drivers of motor vehicles, this company placed men at a large number of grade crossings on this line. Their observations were startling! Of 33,500 drivers fifty-three per cent looked neither way before crossing railroad tracks! Eight per cent looked one way only, and but 174 drivers, or fifty-two one hundredths of one per cent, actually stopped their machines before crossing. 'From these actual observations it is apparent that men of undoubted intelligence choose to risk life and limb rather than wait a few minutes to let a train pass."

CONTRABAND GOODS CONSIGNED TO SEWER Santa Anan's Rejoice While Sheriff Destroys Confiscated Liquor Hundreds of gallons of beer, wine, gin, Dago red, and many other kinds of booze, in bottles, flasks, demiljohns, jugs, and kegs, was consigned to everlasting nothingness last week. It was dumped into the sewer on the courthouse grounds in the presence of a great crowd of Santa Ana people, among them many prominent Dry workers, and W. C. T. U. members. In the collection, piled out on the lawn, there were twenty barrels, thirty crates, two dozen sacks and several demiljohns and jugs. WAR ORDER PROSPERITY Increased sales and better collections all over the United States, as a result of our war order prosperity, are shown by the second annual merchandise research report of the Associated Advertising Clubs of the World, which compares the 1915 trade in six representative business lines with 1914. During two-thirds of 1914 trade in all lines was stagnating in this country, but in 1915 the ring of gold pured into the lap of American labor by the stupendous trade incentive of the European war, becomes the clink of coin on the counters of the retailers. The report shows the following increases in sales, by percentages, 1915 over 1914, in the lines investigated: Departments stores, 19%; grocery stores, 8.8%; clothing stores, 17.9%; hardware stores, 18.3%; drug stores, 11.6%; jewelry stores, 18.9%. Every geographical division shows an increase in retail trade in these six lines in 1915 over 1914, the smallest being recorded in the Pacific states, California, Oregon and Washington, where the effect of the war order stimulus in dispelling the business depression of 1914 has been felt more remotely. The S. S. Kresge company, five and ten cent stores, show increased sales, over 1914, of 31.1%. F. C. SPENCER ATTORNEY-AT-LAW Notary Public Nagel Block, East Center Street Anaheim, Cal. Dr. H. A.

Pennewell, of San Francisco, who has given the matter great deal of study and investigation. Inasmuch as some of the Orange county bean growers have tried the system with no startling results, a few extracts from Mr. Pennewell's letter of January 28, 1916, to Dr. Wilhelm Hirschkind, of Los Angeles, are herewith given. "It is sometimes stated that inoculation of lima beans with soil bacteria is absolutely unnecessary. Having given to this subject many years of study and experimental work, both in laboratory and field, I feel qualified to give an opinion based upon results obtained in my field trials, and I find from my reading that my opinions is backed by the very highest authorities." GOLD MINE COMES BACK In the days when New Mexico was a hinterland an Indian showed some specimens of rock he had found on Baldy Peak to white men who recognized them as copper ore and who, guided by the Indian, found the ledge and located a prospect. The men doing development work on this copper prospect in 1866 found placer gold and traced it to its parent ledge. The placers yielded $2,250,000 and the gold mine about $1,150,000, but the rich ore was exhausted in a few years, and for over 40 years desultory prospecting for other ore bodies was carried on without notable results. In recent years prospecting based on the geologic relations of the old ore body resulted in the discovery of a new ore body of rich ore, which has yielded nearly $250,000 in 10 months and is still producing.
