$757,275 BONDS ENDORSED FOR HIGHWAYS ASSOCIATED CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE RECOMMEND EXTENSION OF OUR SYSTEM FAVOR THE EMPLOYMENT OF U.S. ENGINEER TO INVESTIGATE FLOOD CONTROL By a unanimous vote the associated chambers of commerce favored further extension of Orange county's good roads system, at the Santa Ana meeting Wednesday. In their report to the chambers the highway commissioners submitted two propositions, one calling for a bond issue of $365,250, and the other asking $757,275. Evidently the members of the associated chambers believe in the motto, "Git a-plenty while you're a-gittin'," as they took up the latter proposition and endorsed it without a dissenting voice. Col. S. H. Finley read the report of the highway commission which outlined the two plans. Under the smaller plan the coast boulevard would receive $87,000 for 8½ miles of road from Seal Beach to Newport, and $70,000 for 16½ from Newport to Serra. The various supervisor districts would get the following: First District—Santa Clara avenue, 1½ miles, $12,000; Berrydale, 2½ miles, $21,250; Delhi street, 2 1-8 miles $18,000. Second District—Stanton, 1 1-8 miles, $10,000. Third District—Brea-Olinda, 2½ miles, $23,250; Garden Grove, 1 mile, control of the Santa Ana river could be carried out by a big comprehensive scheme. "Start at the source and work down, taking the laterals," said he, "and I will stake my reputation as an engineer upon your success. The check dams will present the taking away of silt." He urged that a channel of not less than 1000 feet be used, that co-operation with the federal government be sought. Capt. C. T. Leeds, now engineer for the Orange county harbor commission, said he endorsed everything Olmsted had said. He stated that the has always believed that the making of a harbor at Newport was feasible, but that he has not stated and will not state that it is advisable from an economic point of view until he has made a thorough investigation. T. B. Talbert of Huntington Beach, made a speech in favor of exempting from taxation for a period of five years all new industries started in the county. There was some opposition to it but the motion carried. The meeting was held at Santa Ana, the banquet being furnished by the Ebell society. This being the annual meeting a new set of officers was elected. A. S. Bradford of Placentia, was elected president, T. E. Stephenson of Santa Ana, vice president, and J. C. Metzgar, of Santa Ana, secretary. Dr. Dobson of Santa Ana, made the address of welcome, which was responded to by F. C. Krause of this city. Both gentlemen made eloquent and appropriate addresses. The April meeting will be held at Orangethorpe, and the next one at Laguna Beach.

CELEBRATED LAWSUIT IS FINALLY ENDED Mrs. Minnie Taylor Awarded $35,000 Worth of Property in Suit Against Husband After eight years of bitter fighting in the courts, Mrs. Minnie N. Taylor Wednesday could have had the divorce she sought from Charles Davenport Taylor, made a millionaire twice over in the palmy days of Goldfield, Nev., but she cast it aside. Through her suits she came into possession of Santa Ana property worth $35,000. That is all that she has received from the riches of her husband since the two separated in Munich, Germany, in 1907. In her court documents the woman has alleged that she was left penniless. It was in 1904 that Taylor, fresh from the sale of the high priced mine that Goldfield had known, was married in Portland, Ore. The couple came to Santa Ana two years ago. Taylor bought a fine residence at 17th and Main streets. That was to be a temporary home until he could fashion a big residence and grounds on the banks of the Santiago creek. Soon afterward, while he and his wife were in Europe, came their separation. On returning there, Mrs. Taylor brought suit for separate maintenance of $2500 a month. She found that all of the Santa Ana property had been deeded by Taylor to Russel T. Joy, a mining man, now of New York, who deeded it to his daughter, Mrs. Edith W. Murray. In her action in court the property was tied up upon the ground that Joy had received the property from his friend Taylor merely that Taylor might prevent his wife from securing financial satisfaction for any judgment she might get. Taylor went to Canada and was not heard from until Mrs. Taylor learned that in Oregon he had secured a divorce from her. Declaring that she had never been served with a summons, Mrs. Taylor got this decree set aside.

REGISTER Registration for the mary on May 2 close throughout California reports from the will not be available indications based on some of the larger were that only a After the reading of the report Gus Stern moved that the board of supervisors be requested to call a bond election for $757,250 to build the roads outlined in the larger proposition. It was carried without a negative vote. Mr. Stern then explained that the recommendation carried no date, and if the supervisors thought it unwise to submit a bond issue at this time, it could be held up until they deemed it safe to call the election. The chambers also adopted a resolution asking that a United States engineer be employed to investigate the matter of flood control, and report on the most feasible plan of protection. Speeches were made by Engineers Olmstead, Leeds and Koebig, each favoring the conservation plan. Mr. Olmsted said the time had come when the U.S. must attend strictly to conservation, else suffer he penalty. In the early floods in this state little damage was done, because land was not worth much and few people were inconvenienced, but the 1914 flood in Los Angeles did $10,000,000 worth of damage. "Any attempt to control our floods with levees alone is bound to result in failure," said he. "No channel that you might plan and dike can alone give you protection. In order to succeed in getting control, retarding measures must be taken to prevent the crest of the heavy fall back in the mountains from reaching the level lands at the same time as the crest of the flood of the lower portions of the mountainous territory." He also described the successful result of retarding dams in Haines canyon and Western Empire gulch. He said that through the plans in the Newlands-Broussard bill the work of was tied up upon the ground that Joy had received the property from his friend Taylor merely that Taylor might prevent his wife from securing financial satisfaction for any judgment she might get. Taylor went to Canada and was not heard from until Mrs. Taylor learned that in Oregon he had secured a divorce from her. Declaring that she had never been served with a summons, Mrs. Taylor got this decree set aside. Sensational accusations filled some of the documents filed in the case brought there. Finally that case was dismissed and a new action was brought. That complaint tied up the property so that Joy and his daughter could not dispose of it, and in it Mrs. Taylor asked for a divorce. Taylor made no answer. Evidently tiring of the contest, Joy accepted a compromise by which Mrs. Taylor received all but sixteen acres of the disputed property. She could have had the divorce decree but evidently she concluded that she might stand a better chance of getting some portion of Taylor's property in the future if she remained his wife. She might have secured judgment for alimony, but Taylor has disposed of whatever property he might have left in the State, so that a judgment for alimony could not have brought any financial result. Whatever her reasons, it is a fact that with a divorce decree hers for the asking, Mrs. Taylor had the attorneys accept the deeds from Joy and his daughter and dismiss the divorce action. For several years Mrs. Taylor has lived in Los Angeles and San Francisco. Taylor is said to be in New York.

Elliot Coit in the U. C. Journal of Agriculture. Later in the same summer it was found to occur in several commercial navel orange orchards at Oroville and Palermo as well as at Orland. In the hot, dry weather of summer the disease appears to remain in a dormant or quiescent state. It becomes active on water sprouts and sucker growths in the center of the trees during wet weather in winter and later in spring seriously affects the exterior fruiting brush in the event that a damp spell of weather coincides with the spring flush of growth, a condition which is not rare in the northern orange belt. The disease is characterized by an apparent infection which takes place nearly always at the joint between the petiole or leaf stalk and the leaf blade. The leaf blade immediately dies and the disease progresses downward to the twig and involves the bark usually killing it in a circular area from one-fourth to one-half inch in diameter. When the affected leaf is borne on a small twig, girding is often the result and the twig dies back to the point of infection. Large twigs and limbs seem to have certain powers of resistance and the dead leaf with the circular piece of dead bark attached is sometimes thrown off by the formation of callous tissue underneath. When the dead bark is not thrown off in this way it takes on a characteristic dark red color. PERILOUS EXPERIENCE OF MEXICAN REFUGEE Sees Many Horrible Sights on Trip Through War Ridden Section The amazing story of a perilous day hike afoot through the revolution torn center of Mexico, the arrival on the border, and the long tramp to Los Alamitos to join his family, was told to Joe Murillo by a Mexican from Halisco, a small town in the southern part of Mexico. Seven months ago the war clouds had not threatened the little town. With his family he had tilled a small plot of ground. Fortune was good and he was happy. His stock was his own. He owed no debts and the products of the land were ample to supply the wants of the family. Then the revolution began to flame about Halisco.

NEVADA FAMOUS AS MINING STATE Nevada is a Spanish word meaning "snowy" or "white as snow," and the name of the state was derived from the Sierra Nevada. The state ranks sixth in size of the Union. Its length from north to south is 484 miles, its width 321 miles, and its area 109,821 miles. The history of Nevada is chiefly the history of her mines. Since the discovery of the Comstock lode and other famous ore bodies periods of activity and prosperity have alternated with periods of depression. Each discovery of high grade ore in noteworthy quantity has been followed by rapid settlement in that locality and the establishment of one or more towns. In 1890-1893 a sharp decline in the price of silver initiated or accompanied a period of depression in Nevada's mining and general industrial prosperity. Silver is so important a resource of the BADLY AFFECTED TREES ARE FILLED WITH DEAD BRUSH RESULTING FROM GIRDLED TWIGS AND SUCH DEAD TWIGS AND LEAVES IMMEDIATELY BECOMING COVERED WITH A GROWTH OF THE COMMON WITHER-TIP FUNGUS, COLLETOTRICHUM GLOSESPORIOIDES. ANOTHER peculiarly of this disease is its faculty of rotting the bark of a twig and leaving the wood intact. The dead bark may sluff off in characteristic fibrous shreds, somewhat after the fashion of decay to cottony fungus, Sclerotinia libertiana, and leave the wood of the twig to persist for years. The interior of the old seedling tree upon which the disease was first noticed was filled with dead twigs as hard and white as bone. CITrus blast seems to be unable to infect large limbs and is confined chiefly to new growth and limbs not over one inch in diameter. Its chief damage is done in killing the fruiting brush and greatly reducing the bearing area of the tree. Citrus canker would be a good name for this disease but this name is already used for the serious bacterial disease now creating so much apprehension in Southeastern United States. Inasmuch as this new disease may be found to be due to bacteria the name Citrus Blast is proposed. An investigation of the cause of the disease together with inoculation experiments is now being carried on by Prof. R. E. Smith. It is hoped that observations during the coming spring may lead to suggestions and later to demonstrations of the best methods of control. REGISTRATION Registration for the presidential primary on May 2 closed Saturday night throughout California.

With his family he had tilled a small plot of ground. Fortune was good and he was happy. His stock was his own. He owed no debts and the products of the land were ample to supply the wants of the family. Then the revolution began to flame about Halisco. Fearing for the safety of his family, he sent them to the United States. That was six months ago and although he has not seen them yet, word has reached him that they made the dangerous trip in safety. Raiding and plundering began to grow more frequent. The bands of marauders struck constation and ruin all about his little ranch. Then one day his little ranch was raided. The guerrillas demanded all he had. He demurred. Then they threatened his life and he acceded to their demands. All his stock was confiscated and his home was left a mass of smouldering ruins. Disheartened, he determined to leave Mexico and join his family in the United States. Without money and with no means of obtaining any, he was forced to strike out afoot. He was eleven days on the trip and during that time both Carranza and Villa factions asked him to join the army. Each time he succeeded in avoiding them and each time he was allowed to proceed unmolested. Several times he passed within the sound of the firing of troops engaged in battle. Many of the villages he passed through had been laid in ruins by raiders and scores of times on the road he saw the bodies of political offenders hanging from the branches of trees and swaying in the breeze. The odor was overpowering, he said and many times he made detours to avoid the terrible stench. His home he reached the international his home he reached th e international boundary line, and struck toward the Pacific coast. His family has been cared for by friends during the time they have been at Los Alamitos. BE OPTIMISTIC Here's Good News for Anaheim Residents Each discovery of high grade ore in noteworthy quantity has been followed by rapid settlement in that locality and the establishment of one or more towns. In 1890-1893 a sharp decline in the price of silver initiated or accompanied a period of depression in Nevada's mining and general industrial prosperity. Silver is so important a resource of the state that to a large extent even now her prosperity depends upon the market for that metal. Of late years, however, an increased production of gold copper, and recently of platinum has accompanied a gradual and, it is hoped, substantial industrial progress.
