MANY OPPOSE BRIDGE BOND ISSUE Continued from Page One ment to the district. He stated we were being offered a public improvement and were rejecting it. Mr. Stern resented the imputation that the bridge was being made the target from a trading point of view, and said he was opposing the structure from the standpoint, that in case of a repetition of the high water the bridge (or dam as he classed it) would divert flood upon Fullerton and the northern end of this city. Supervisor Tom Talbert cleared away the supposed mystery as to why the third bridge was put into the call for a bond issue. He stated that delegations from the west side of the river had appeared before the board of supervisors and asked for the reconstruction of the Yorba bridge at the old site. People from the northern side had appeared and asked for a new bridge a mile and a half below to accommodate residents in that growing section. As a compromise measure the board decided to erect both bridges, and included the third bridge in the call for bonds. Mr. Talbert stated that there was no way to eliminate the third bridge from the call, as has been suggested, as the election had already been provided for, and they would have to stand or fall together. The question had been asked why her bed was defined and fortified, he remarked that the dissention displayed at the meeting reminded him of the widower with two children who married a widow with two children, and to the union to whom two more children were added. One day the wife rushed into the house and called excitedly, "John, come outside quick. Your two children and my two children are beating the life out of our two children." (Laughter) Several speakers argued for harmony within the ranks of the associated chambers of commerce, and hoped that petty differences and local jealousies would be laid aside. The organization has grown to be a power and good can only come by a united and friendly pull together. Reports from various committees were received. Gus Stern reported that the road connecting Orange county with the Pomona highway would soon be repaired. An auto excursion to San Diego is being talked of for the coming summer and in all probability a big delegation will attend. The date has not as yet been decided upon. Many suggestions for a county slogan were received. Many neat designs were sent in while others resorted to poetic verses to lure the tenderfoot. No choice has as yet been made. Supervisor Schumacher submitted correspondence received by him from the permanent organization in Los Angeles for flood control and the same was read by the secretary. The same was referred to the legislative committee, who are to be instructed to act upon the same and forward reply to the next meeting of the organization which will be held in Los Angeles on May 8th. Much good is expected from a concerted action in the matter of controlling flood waters.

As a compromise measure the board decided to erect both bridges, and included the third bridge in the call for bonds. Mr. Talbert stated that there was no way to eliminate the third bridge from the call, as has been suggested, as the election had already been provided for, and they would have to stand or fall together. The question had been asked why the bond issue had been divided into three sections, and Mr. Talbert stated that the supervisors had been so advised to proceed by the district attorney and it was so ordered, as monies for roads and bridges are drawn from separate funds. Mr. Talbert was at a loss to know why the people of the northern end of the county should oppose the new third bridge, and stated, parenthetically, that if the people here did not want the bridge he and his neighbors would gladly take it. Frank Porter, who has lived in Orangethorpe for 40 years, addressed the meeting upon the river question and advocated wider spans in all bridges. The narrow passageways always act as a barrier to a clear flow and should be done away with. He advocated a law to compel all railway companies to put in 100 foot spans under all bridges. The delegation from this city, including F. C. Krause, Chas. Eygabroad, Henry Adams and Albert Graham, spoke against the third bridge proposition, believing that one good substantial structure at the site of the old Yorba bridge would be more conductive to the general welfare than two smaller bridges as proposed. The narrow spans in many of the railroad bridges were condemned, and it was argued that these spans should not be less than 100 feet in length. The railway, companies, however, have given out the information that when the river bed has once been definitely established they will build their bridges of a more substantial nature than is now in vogue. They argue that they would not be justified in the construction of large bridges under the present circumstances, and now merely make repairs as far as possible. And so the matter rests. To care for the turbulent Santa Ana river in flood time is a gigantic proposition. Charles Eygabroad reported progress in river protection work, being on the permanent organization in Los Angeles for flood control and the same was read by the secretary. The same was referred to the legislative committee, who are to be instructed to act upon the same and forward reply to the next meeting of the organization which will be held in Los Angeles on May 8th. Much good is expected from a concerted action in the matter of controlling flood waters. By building retarding dams and reservoirs the waters are conserved, offering a beneficial solution to the flood question. The correspondence was published in the Gazette of April 27th. The next meeting will be held at Laguna Beach on Saturday, May 27th, and is to be made an all day affair. Invitations were received and accepted for the June meeting at Brea July at Buena Park and August at Harper. A vote of thanks was extended to the ladies of Orangethorpe for the splendid supper and also to the male quartet for songs rendered. The delegates from this city were F. C. Krause and Dr. E. W. Hauck. Secretary Metzgar reported that recently an easterner and his family located in Orange county because he had seen roses growing along the highway in a certain locality. It was advocated that roses be planted along highways whereever practical. It was suggested and emphasized that each locality send a list of its manufactures to the county secretary in order that that urbane official may intelligently inform prospective settlers with information relative to the county's resources. FOREST FURNISHES CASCARA BARK Thirty-six thousand pounds of cascara bark were cut on the Siuslaw national forest in Oregon, during the latter half of last year, according to the government's foresters. A steady demand for this bark for medicinal purposes, both in the United States and in Europe, is reported to exist. Before the war most of the exported product went to England and Germany. The cascara bark industry began, it is assorted, in California about 1865, and for many years California led in the production of bark, exporting as much as 50,000 pounds in a single year. It might still be gathered with about three-fourths of drilling wells. The detailed report ending April 22 is a Company. Beginning Drilling M Belridge Oil Co.... Universal Oil Co....

They argue that they would not be justified in the construction of large bridges under the present circumstances, and now merely make repairs as far as possible. And so the matter rests. To care for the turbulent Santa Ana river in flood time is a gigantic proposition. Charles Eygabroad reported progress in river protection work, being on the committee seeking a right of way for the channel and dike. Surveys have been made and much preliminary work has been attended to, looking to the formation of a protection district. The delegation from Yorba was much opposed to the third bridge and claimed that it would be simply flipping money away to build it. The same spirit evists to a certain extent at Brea. Lew Wallace opposed the bridge bond issue generally from the fact that the Santa Ana river bed should first be taken care of. J. A. Armitage similarly spoke against the bond issue and advocated the naming of a competent commission to act in conjunction with the contiguous counties and endeavor to formulate a plan for confining the waters of the Santa Ana river. Many farmers in the lower sections of the county have suffered from flood overflow and are entitled to some protection. Mr. Armitage made a strong appeal for control of the flood waters, and by so doing the silt may be prevented from entering Newport harbor, which perhaps would hasten its completion, and along with that laudable undertaking it might be possible to get the coast boulevard—in eight or ten years. J. A. Armitage, while he did not favor building bridges before the riv- government's foresters. A steady demand for this bark for medicinal purposes, both in the United States and in Europe, is reported to exist. Before the war most of the exported product went to England and Germany. The cascara bark industry began, it is asserted, in California about 1865, and for many years California led in the production of bark, exporting as much as 50,000 pounds in a single year. It might still be gathered with profit in certain localities in this state. Now western Oregon and to a lesser degree western Washington are the chief sources of supply. The forest experts say that the destructive methods usually practiced in obtaining the bark has resulted in almost exterminating the cascara tree on privately owned land, leaving the national forests as the last available source of supply. The tree from which cascara bark is obtained is variously known as cascara, chittim, and bearberry. It is said that bears are very fond of the black, berry like fruit which the tree produces and sometimes scratch the bark badly in climbing the trees to secure it. The bear scratched trees are so difficult to peel that they are frequently left by the bark gatherers, thus providing a few seed trees to help perpetuate the species. Most of the cascara bark is peeled by settlers and small ranchers in the regions where it grows. The peeling season opens in April and closes when the bark begins to tighten in August. Bark obtained on the national forests is cut under methods that provide for a future supply. Stumps six inches high are left with the bark undisturbed. These sprout readily and produce new trees. The bark is taken off the tree in as long strips as possible, spread on canvas or other material to keep it off the ground, and dried in The total oil production for 1915 has declined from 363 producers. It is estimated that most accurate figures have been obtained and interest to note that public at a much earlier private concerns, more and Oil company and Producers Agency. Publishing such information is distinct public service which should be more organized, and encourage large its usefulness; the quality as well as the oil produced. Of the total amount 29,587,163 barrels were five large refineries companies, and 16% reels was produced by large concerns, such companies, who use own service. The 44,948,475 barrels is smaller producers who crude oil at the weir. The oil comes from counties, the largest from Kern county wreels and 3873 productions second on the county with 13,641,325 barrels and third place fallacy with 12,535,457 wells. The remainder are Santa Barbara reels and 403 wells; 598 barrels and 56872,020 barrels and Clara 16,617 barrels San Luis Obispo 10 ANAHEIM GAZETTE—THURSDAY, MAY 4 the sun. In some localities it is no unusual sight to see the ranchers' fences and smaller buildings covered with the drying bark. It is said that peeling and selling this bark has furnished many a poor homesteader with the grub stake necessary to keep him going while he was getting land cleared and ready for cultivation. Fifteen years ago the bark was still plentiful and worth ten to twenty cents a pound, which meant a good profit for the bark gatherer. For the past few years the price has been from 3½ to 6 cents per pound at Portland, so the ranchers have lost much of their interest in bark peeling, and only engage in it when nothing better is in sight. OIL FIELDS OF STATE ACTIVE Oil field developments passing under the observation of the state mining bureau, while very active, show only a healthy movement and it is hoped that the investing public will avoid the excesses shown in the boom occurring four or five years ago. Recent advances in the price of crude oil should not obscure the very important fact that all materials used in oil well operations have, during the past year, also advanced in price, in some cases as much as forty per cent. Expenditures for materials comprise about three-fourths of the total cost of drilling wells. The detailed report for the week ending April 22 is as follows: Company Sec. Twp. Rng. Beginning Drilling New Wells:—Belridge Oil Co. ...33 28 21 Universal Oil Co. ...32 26 21 Dudley & Dudley ...13 26 20 St. Helens Pet. Co. ...16 32 24 H. S. Williams Oil Co. ...26 29 21 Bankline Oil Co. ...36 23 23 Associated Oil Co. (3) ...5 29 28 wells. It is of interest to note the variation in productiveness of wells in the various localities, the most productive wells being in Orange county where the average was 83 barrels per day, and some of the other localities falling as low as seven barrels per day. The natural gas which was marketed has also been accounted for, giving a total of 14,902,000,000 cubic feet, over 90% of which was from Kern county. Upon the enlargement of its engineering force, in the near future, the mining bureau intends to conduct a more detailed investigation of natural gas production with the idea of being able to point out means of more economical use of this splendid natural resource which is too frequently wasted. RECORD BREAKER D. W. McDannald is now busily engaged in gathering up exhibits of fruits and other products of the soil for exhibition by Orange county at the San Diego Exposition during the year, and in his rounds has secured what he believes to be the record grapefruit of the world. It is a mammoth specimen measuring 26½ inches in circumference, and weighing an ounce less than five pounds. It was grown by William Bathgate, of Villa Park and with five other fruits almost as large, grew on a valencia orange tree limb, grafted to the grape fruit. The balance of the tree produced fine valencias. Willard Smith of Buena Park gave Mr. McDannald some fine cherimoyas, which will also be exhibited at San Diego and A. J. Young, the Orange county Potato King, has promised some record potatoes for the display. COTTON BEAN BAGS That cotton bags made in the YOU ARE A BRICK said a man passing yesterday.

It amounted to $88,240,620 barrels. This is doubtless the most accurate figure that has ever been obtained and it is of public interest to note that it is in close agreement with the figures given to the public at a much earlier date by two on a valencia orange tree limb, grafted to the grape fruit.

COTTON BEAN BAGS That cotton bags made in the United States can be produced cheaper than jute bags, and will eventually take the place of the jute product in much of the bean and grain trade in this country is the belief of Chas. E. Morris, agent for the J. K. Armsby company of Santa Ana. Mr. Morris has received a sample bag made from American grown cotton in the Southern states, and which is now being introduced into the bean industry in California. The bag seems to meet all strength tests required, and is being perfected so that it will prove just as servicable for beans and grain as the jute variety. This sample is now on display at the Morris office in Santa Ana, and any bean or grain growers interested are invited to call and inspect it. The new bags are not now on sale but the manufacturers are endeavoring to introduce them to the trade in the West, and on demand of growers an agency will be placed in this county. Mr. Morris states the cotton bags can be produced two or three cents cheaper each than the jute sacks, and the chances are the jute supply from India will be shut off on account of the war. WOODSMEN GO TO COLLEGE Now the woodsmen can go to college when winter closes down operations in the forests. Courses in forestry principles and forestry methods will be given in the university of California's summer session, from June 26 to August 5, but that is just when the woodsmen are busiest. So for 12 weeks in winter time every year hereafter, during January, February and March a short course in forestry is to be given at the university. This course is planend especially for woodsmen, whether employed by a lumber company or by the forest service, who want to learn how to plan better systems of fire protection, how to build better trails or make better maps, and how to keep ahead of the latest de WANTED—You to save money by getting an estimate from us on irrigation pipe and repairs.

It amounted to 88,240,620 barrels. This is doubtless the most accurate figure that has ever been obtained and it is of public interest to note that it is in close agreement with the figures given to the public at a much earlier date by two private concerns, namely, the Standard Oil company and the Independent Producers Agency. Private parties publishing such information perform a distinct public service, the value of which should be more generally recognized, and encouragement given to enlarge its usefulness by touching upon the quality as well as the quantity of the oil produced. Of the total amount of oil, 33% or 29,587,163 barrels was produced by the five large refining and marketing companies, and 16% or 13,704,982 barrels was produced by the several large concerns, such as the railroad companies, who use the oil in their own service. The remaining 51% or 44,948,475 barrels is credited to the smaller producers who usually sell the crude oil at the well. The oil comes from eight different counties, the largest amount being from Kern county with 53,041,069 barrels and 3873 producing wells, while second on the county list is Fresno with 13,641,325 barrels and 830 wells, and third place falls to Orange county with 12,535,457 barrels and 414 wells. The remaining counties in order are Santa Barbara, 5,450,534 barrels and 403 wells; Los Angeles 2,673,-598 barrels and 564 wells; Ventura, 872,020 barrels and 318 wells; Santa Clara 16,617 barrels and 7 wells and San Luis Obispo 10,000 barrels and 3 26 to August 5, but that is just when the woodsmen are busiest. So for 12 weeks in winter time every year hereafter, during January, February and March a short course in forestry is to be given at the university. This course is planend especially for woodmen, whether employed by a lumber company or by the forest service, who want to learn how to plan better systems of fire protection, how to build better trails or make better maps, and how to keep abreast of the latest development in mthods of logging and timber estimating. There will be work in forest management and instruction in elementary silviculture. Officials of the U.S. forest service will give a special lecture course covering various phases of the work of the national forests. So many different courses will be offered that the individual woodman will find opportunity to pick those courses best suited to his own individual needs and will find it profitable to come for more than one short course. The 12 weeks course will be given at a time when it is easy for the woodman to come, for most of the chief logging regions of California are snowbound at that season, and little work in the woods is possible. The course will be particularly valuable to superintendents, foremen, rangers, and men who wish to qualify themselves for advancement in such occupations.
