NEWS NOTES OF COUNTY Contract for School Let— Harvey Barber was the lowest bidder last Saturday on the general contract for erecting Brea's new school house. While the board is yet to consider alternates it is quite likely that Garber will be the successful bidder. His bid was $44,888. The next lowest bid on general contract was $46,180, by George A. Daniels of Los Angeles. The highest bid was $66,000. There were eleven bidders. Sugar Factories Cut Melons— Checks totaling $75,000 have been mailed by the Southern California Sugar Company and the Santa Ana Co-Operative Sugar Company, whose factories are located south of Santa Ana, to growers who delivered sugar beets to those two factories during the 1915 campaign. In the contracts with the growers last year, each factory agreed that 50 cents should be added as payment to each ton of beets delivered provided the sugar factory received an average of better than $4.50 per 100 pounds for the sugar manufactured.

B. Talbert, president and general manager of the Pacific Oilcloth & Linoleum company, stated at the meeting of the associated chambers of commerce at Yorba Linda last week that the business of his company had now assumed very satisfactory proportions, and that the drying capacity of the plant would have to be increased in order to supply the demands. The market, he said, extended from Seattle to San Diego, and the Hawaiian Islands, and was increasing rapidly. There were splendid prospects, Mr. Talbert stated, for some big oriental business. Mr. Talbert is one of the most optimistic men in Southern California, when the question of manufacturing in this section of the country is discussed. He believes that it will not be many years before there will be great manufacturing plants located all through the Southland. Ice Skating at Seal Beach— An ice skating rink is the newest amusement device planned for the new Orange county resort—Seal Beach—and it is expected the contract for its erection will be let this week or next. The rink is estimated to cost $30,000, and will be one of the largest in the West. The new feature will be one of the most attractive resorts in the amusement park now under construction by the Jewel City Amusement company at the beach town, and is expected to be one of the chief drawing cards, especially for the Eastern tourists of the new South coast resort. An emergency hospital, to employ 12 nurses and to be in charge of competent physicians, is another building planned for early construction at Seal Beach.

The accusation was brought by the state board of pharmacy, which was represented at the trial by Attorney F.S.Hutton. Dr.Domann was defended by Attorneys R.Y.Williams and W.M.Brown. The evidence showed that H.E.P.Werdin of Los Angeles, who bought the morphine, is a sufferer from asthma, and that for 18 years he had used drugs to relieve pain. Dr.Domann testified that Werdin had been under his treatment at times since 1912, that the drug was necessary and had been prescribed in the usual course of treatment. The testimony also brought out that Werdin now lives in Los Angeles, and that a doctor there is giving him the same treatment as that given by Dr.Domann. The state's case rested largely upon the fact that the prescription was for an unusual amount. It was declared that this amount was due to the fact that it was necessary for Werdin to continue the use of the tablets, and a considerable quantity was secured at one time. The jury arrived at its verdict in short order.

L. Jackson and Marshal Crawshaw and brought to the office of Justice Armor of Orange, two young men who gave the names of Dewey Norman and Walter P. Hoffman, of Los Angeles, admitted that they stole the vehicle in Los Angeles a few nights ago. With the car when it was seized by officers were another Los Angeles youth and two Orange boys, the last named being merely riding with the pair, in the belief of the officers. Norman, Hoffman and the other Los Angeles young man were taken by Constable Jackson to the Santa Ana jail to await the appearance of Los Angeles officers to take them to the Angel City. The car was numbered 76,649, but the owner's identification tag was mutilated until it was illegible. The number had been removed from the car, but was in possession of one of the lads, neither young man knew anything about the state license, they had offered to sell the car for $70, and other features of the case gave the appearance of a crime, hence the officers were notified and went to the place in the Santiago creek bottoms, where the car was stuck in the sand with the engine broken. Not until Constable Jackson telephoned the office of the chief of police in Los Angeles and learned that the car had been stolen, did the young fellows admit that they had stolen the vehicle. William Alden Smith in Trouble— William Alden Smith, Jr., of Grand Rapids, Mich., son of United States Senator Smith of that state, and grandson of Mrs. G. R. Smith of Santa Ana, testified at a coroner's inquest at San Diego, Monday that he was driving the point three commissioners, one of whom must be an engineer; these commissioners draw a salary at the rate of ten dollars a day for the engineer and five dollars a day for the other two. Attorney Head said in this way quick action could be secured, whereas if special legislation was resorted to it would take time and would be expensive. Protection Needed at Newport— It is called to mind that last year County Game Warden Adkinson and Percy Thelan went forth and captured a San Pedro fisherman who was trawling off the Orange county shore line. It was not done by a fish and game deputy from Los Angeles. However, the Los Angeles office has promised that something will be done by that office this year to stop the devastation of the fishing fields off the Orange county shore. The promise is based upon the expectation to have a fast power boat in service with which to run down the law breakers. That power boat seems to be a long time in the building. It has been talked about ever since the legislature was in session a year ago, at which time the appropriation was made for it. But the power boat is not yet in action, at least not off the Orange county coast. There is need for it, and need for someone who has the desire to stop the illegal operations of the San Pedro fish pirates. The dragnet has been worked to a fare-you-well off Newport Beach, so that those who enjoy fishing with rod and reel say that the fields are spoiled. The 9-9 launch is going to make its headquarters at Laguna Beach because of the change that has been worked in the fishing grounds off Newport Beach. It was asserted that there is a state SOUTHERN UNIVERSITY MAY GET $2,000,000 Big Endowment for Los Angeles Educational Institution in Sight That the university of Southern California is on the eve of a great expansion in every direction, which will include the addition of a sum which may reach $2,000,000 to its resources and perhaps may include a new campus, has just been made known through an announcement made by President George F. Bovard. The outstanding feature of his statement is the prospective gift of approximately $1,000,000 which has been offered to the University through the good offices of Dr. Robert Tyler Smith, executive secretary of the forward movement of the University. Dr. Smith is acting for the prospective donor, the identity of whom has not been made known. The terms of the offer are such that the university board of trustees believe it will be a comparatively easy matter to fulfill them. The plans for the expansion of the University will not, however, be completed by securing this sum. The projects which are contemplated will require a sum at least twice as great. The university authorities believe that when these plans have been fully revealed friends of the institution will promptly come forward and increase the endowment to at least $2,000,000. "The announcement we are now making is simply the culmination of plans which have been under consideration for a long time," said Dr. Bovard, commenting on the news. "With the great strides forward William Alden Smith in Trouble— William Alden Smith, Jr., of Grand Rapids, Mich., son of United States Senator Smith of that state, and grandson of Mrs. G. R. Smith of Santa Ana, testified at a coroner's inquest at San Diego, Monday that he was driving the automobile which crashed into a wagon on late Saturday night, as a result of which W. P. Ellis of Los Angeles suffered injuries which caused his death. Smith, who came to the inquest voluntarily, declared he did not realize he had struck the wagon and that he did not know of the accident until he read an account of it in the papers the next morning. While on the way to the city from the Point Loma Country club, he said, he was forced to drive on to a sidewalk to escape running into a wagon. His machine grazed the wagon, he thought, but as there was no outcry from the occupants, he said, he did not stop to ascertain what damage if any had been caused. Private Detective Pinched— In the arrest of Charles Williams a private detective of Los Angeles, charged with stealing $2 from Alfred Perez, a Mexican, officers believe they have a man who is a wife murderer as well as a pickpocket. As yet sufficient evidence has not been unearthed to cause Williams' arrest on a charge of murder, but Los Angeles police officers place little faith in the theory that Mrs. Williams committed suicide, and an investigation is now being made. A few days ago Mrs. Williams was found dead, shot to death with a revolver. The theory of suicide was advanced, and the body was cremated. Following the cremation Williams was seen at the Santa Fe depot in Los Angeles, and, is reported to have told a friend he was accompanying the body of his wife to San Diego for burial. Williams is now in the Orange county jail on the felony charge of theft. With a companion "investigator" he rode on the Santa Fe passenger train from Fullerton to Riverside on Friday. At Richfield they jostled and crowded a couple of Mexicans, and Williams was seen to extract a purse from one's pocket. He was arrested at Coona by Santa Fe Detective Johnson, and was later brought to this county trial. His examination has been set Orange County Roads Bordered With Trees More Than 4000 Have Been Planted During Past Winter A total of over 4000 shade trees have been planted along roads in Orange county during the past winter, according to a report of Planting Superintendent J. V. Joplin, submitted to the Forestry Board. Of this number, 2500 trees have been planted by the county, and 1500 by property owners along the roads who promised to plant and care for the trees in front of their property. The planting was done near Buena Park, Placentia, on the Santa Ana-Newport road, Santa Ana canyon and some on the state highway. Planting will now be done on the county road from Fullerton through Brea to the Los Angeles county line. Arizona cypress will be planted from Fullerton to Brea, and peppers and oaks will line the road up the canyon. About three hundred trees will be planted by the Brea chamber of commerce on the county roads in that town. Upon application, the Delhi school board was given about fifty trees, which will be planted on the school grounds there on Tuesday, Arbor Day, by the students. Engineer S. H. Filey appeared before the forestry board in relation to county roads damaged by the recent high waters from the rivers and creeks. Mr. Finley outlined a plan for protecting the roads and shoulders of the pavement, and advocated the planting of blue gum trees on the lower side Steamboat Springs, Nevada, has figured prominently in discussions of the origin of ore deposits. The waters of these springs contain the precious metals in minute quantities, and the silver deposited by them contains several minerals that are common constituents of ores, as well as small quantities of many of the rarer metallic constituents of ore deposits, including gold and silver. Such springs, therefore, suggest that many and perhaps most ore bearing veins have been formed by hot waters rising from great depths, which have brought their metal contents up in solution and deposited them in open spaces or fissures in the rocks through which the waters passed, the deposition of some ores being influenced by chemical reaction with the surrounding rock. Many ore deposits are undoubtedly formed in other ways for some are of his wife to San Diego for burial. Williams is now in the Orange county jail on the felony charge of theft. With a companion "investigator" he rode on the Santa Fe passenger train from Fullerton to Riverside on Friday. At Richfield they jostled and crowded a couple of Mexicans, and Williams was seen to extract a purse from one's pocket. He was arrested at Coona by Santa Fe Detective Johnson, and was later brought to this county for trial. His examination has been set for March 23rd at 2 p.m., with bail fixed at $1000. Favor Protection District— While the people of Garden Grove at a mass meeting Wednesday night, failed to vote on the proposition to establish a protection district, it is understood that the majority of the people now favor it, as they do not care to wait for legislative action on the county proposition. The meeting was called to order by H. A. Lake who introduced Attorney Horace C. Head who recommended that the district be formed under the storm water act of 1909. The act of 1909 provides that a protection district may be formed in the following manner: That a petition signed by more than ten of the property owners be presented to the board of supervisors, who shall set a time for the hearing of said petition. That all protests against the forming of said protection district must be in writing and filed with the board of supervisors before date of hearing said petition. The board of supervisors then notify property owners in the district and if no objections are raised the board may declare the district formed. Then an election must be called in the said district for the purpose of selecting three electors. These electors ap- CORPORATION TAXES The corporations of the state of California will pay into the state terasury in taxes on their operative properties $1,427,134.68 more than they paid in 1914 according to the report issued by State Controller John S. Chambers and the state board of equalization. The total corporation tax, according to the report, is $15,036,798.12, against $13,609,663.44. The revenue of the state for 1915 will more than meet the expense of state government, and there will be no deficit, according to figures prepared by the board of control and compared with those of the state board of equalization on the state tax totals, and compared with the estimate of other receipts and the total expenditures. There will be approximately $100,000 more taken in by the state during the year than will be expended. INCREASE IN CARS There are 2,423,788 motor cars and trucks in use in the United States. This figure is the total number of registrations in the country January 1, 1916, all the duplicate registrations of which records are available being deducted. This is a gain of 686,998 cars and trucks or a gain of 39.5 per cent over the 1,736,790 registered up to the end of 1915. Contrary to the general impression, over half of this increase was made during the latter half of the year. There is one car to every 38 people living in the United States. This means that out of every nine families in the country one is the proud possessor of a motor car. BE SURE YOU'RE RIGHT THEN GO EAST Which is not quite what Davy Crockett once said, but it is applicable to our purpose to suggest that when you are considering which way you will go East, next time you go, you consult a Salt Lake Route ticket agent; 'tis a certainty that you will be right if you go East that way and that you will be thoroughly pleased with the excellent service of that line, with its three daily trains through to Chicago and other points via Salt Lake City. Any ticket agent will be very glad to furnish full information. SANTA ANA OFFICE— 201 W. Fourth St. J. J. TAVIS, C. P. F. A. CALIFORNIA ORANGE DAY, MARCH 18th.

FACTS REGARDING ORANGE COUNTY FRUIT Thinks Orange Day Observance Will Stimulate Sale of Orange R. L. Bisby, who has been appointed representative from this county for the Orange Day celebration, Saturday, March 18, discusses Orange county's interest in the day as follows: I am enclosing you herewith an article setting forth some of the facts in regard to the orange in Orange county as well as some of the things we would like to have the people in Orange county do in order to boost the use of the orange not only in California but in every state in the union. It is the belief of the committee that their work will stimulate the sale of one hundred thousand to five hundred thousand boxes per annum and may be more. Orange county has its largest orange storage in Valencia there which Orange county has derived its income we find that the third largest source in the county is from oranges, and the orange holds second place as the largest soil product. Oil heads the list with $7,500,000. Beets next with $6,750,000, then oranges with $4,-150,000. It is well for the people to understand that the oil and sugar are the necessities of life, while the orange is the luxury and this campaign is to educate the people in the East that the orange can be made a necessity as well as a luxury. The morning paper shows that Mayor William Hale Thompson of Chicago has issued a proclamation setting aside March 18, as Orange Day in Chicago. In the city of Chicago alone $1,000,000 worth of oranges are used each year, and with this campaign of educating the people to the use of oranges will eventually increase the use to $2,000,000. The same thing will be done in every city and hamlet of the United States.

It is the belief of the committee that their work will stimulate the sale of one hundred thousand to five hundred thousand boxes per annum and maybe more. Orange county has its largest orange acreage in Valencias, there being 7765 acres in bearing and 6786 in non-bearing trees. The acreage in navels is 969 in bearing trees and 52 in non-bearing. There are 165 acres planted to Mediterranean Sweets and 50 acres to St. Michaels. There are only 20 acres in bearing seedlings. Two thousand two hundred forty-five acres are set to bearing lemon trees and 2101 to non-bearing. In pomelos there are but ten acres. Shipments for the year 1915 amounted to 1259 cars of navels, 3599 cars of Valencias, other varieties of oranges 211 cars; lemons 738 cars, grapefruit 4 cars. The total value of the county's orange crop for 1915 was $4,150,090. These facts were supplied by J. C. Metzgar, secretary of the Santa Ana chamber of commerce. Let us analyze Mr. Metzgar's statement. Orange county has an area of 508,000 acres within its boundaries of which 15,757 are set to oranges. Orange county from all the products last year had an income of $35,711,500; thus you will see that 1:32 of the acreage of Orange county produces 1:9 of all its income. Looking further we find that Orange county has a population of 57,000 people, this means that oranges produce $7.10 for each and every person within its limits. It seems to me that this is a just reason why Orange should be crowned King. In looking over the sources from proclamation setting aside March 18, as Orange Day in Chicago. In the city of Chicago alone $1,000,000 worth of oranges are used each year, and with this campaign of educating the people to the use of oranges will eventually increase the use to $2,000,000. The same thing will be done in every city and hamlet of the United States. Building Fine Residence Plans for a residence to be built on West Commonwealth, Fullerton by L. P. Drake, at a cost of approximately $5000 have been completed. Preliminary excavation work is already accomplished and active building operations began early this week. The Drake residence will have eight large rooms. The lower exterior will be plaster and the upper part shakes. There will be a white composition roof finished with crushed silica. There will be many modern improvements, among them disappearing roller screens. It is being planned to finish the living and dining rooms in hardwood. A breakfast alcove off the kitchen will be a feature. The work will be done by day labor, under the supervision of the owner. GETS BIG SLICE The sum of $71,111, representing the counties' share of the net receipts of the State motor vehicle department during the last half of 1915, is to be apportioned to the road fund of 58 counties of the state, according to Superintendent French. The largest amount, $23,370, goes to Los Angeles county and the next largest amount, $8302, to San Francisco. The distribution is made proportionately to the motor vehicle registration in each county. Dr. M. M. Henderson, Dentist, Suite 1, Mullinix bldg., Anaheim.
