DANGEROUS RAIL-ROAD CROSSINGS TO BE CHANGED MOVEMENT STARTED TO REME-DY DEFECTS ALONG ALL RAILWAY LINES SAFETY FIRST CAMPAIGN EVI-DENTLY HAS LOST ITS PULLING POWER As a result of the terrible accident that happened at Irvine station a few weeks ago, when three little girls, who were riding in an automobile, were killed at that crossing by being struck by a rapidly moving Santa Fe passenger train, a movement has been started throughout Southern California to eliminate grade crossings as far as possible. The matter has been taken up by the railroad commission. Many accidents have occurred all over the state and it is believed the time has arrived for concerted action on the part of the people to do away with the death traps along the railroads. The Irvine crossing is considered one of the most dangerous in the state and should be changed. A view of the track in both directions is obscured by orange trees and on both sides of the track there are slight embankments. This is not the only place, in which fatal accidents have happened of late. South Pasadena, Alhambra, Santa Ana and other Southern California towns NEW MANAGER OF CIGAR DEPARTMENT The Retail Grovers' Advocate, issued in San Francisco, has the following concerning Jot Wood, formerly an Anaheim boy: Mr. Jot C. Wood, for many years Pacific coast representative for Berriman Bros., manufacturers of Jose Villa cigars, will, beginning May 1st, assume active management of the cigar department of William Cluff company, wholesale grocers. The latter concern in line with their policy of expansion have secured the services of Mr. Wood, who is considered one of the most competent cigar men in the United States. Under his management it is the intention of the William Cluff company to create a cigar department that will compare favorably with the departments of the big eastern wholesale grocery houses. At present the leading cigars handled by this concern are Jose Villa, the first cigar made in bond in America, manufactured by Berriman Bros., the authors of Bond Bill, the Don Luis, a mild Havana and the Sight Draft, a five cent cigar sold from coast to coast. The Western Tobacconist of San Francisco says: The William Cluff company has decided to further enlarge and specialize on their cigar and tobacco department, and with this end in view have secured as manager Jot C. Wood, who for the past nine years has been Pacific Coast representative of Berriman Bros. Mr. Wood will continue to represent the Berriman line in this territory, but will give up a portion of the Northwest to Mr. Gyory, who has also been connected with the Berriman business.

A view of the track in both directions is obscured by orange trees and on both sides of the track there are slight embankments. This is not the only place, in which fatal accidents have happened of late. South Pasadena, Alhambra, Santa Ana and other Southern California towns all have reported recent accidents at grade crossings in which, in the aggregate, more than a dozen persons were killed. Some of these were shown to be due to the carlessness of drivers of automobiles, and the state highway commission has come to the conclusion that the safety first campaign instituted by the railroads has lost its pulling power. The novelty has worn off and the public is getting as careless as it was before. In spite of any action that may be taken to make grade crossings safer, there will still be many grade crossing accidents caused by carelessness, for the present means of protecting grade crossings are entirely inadequate. Locally the matter of the elimination of dangerous crossings has been given serious attention on the part of the people and it is to be hoped that something will be done to give better protection to the public. CALIFORNIA MEASURES ON THE BALLOT There will be at least five important measures on the ballot at the election in November, and there may be as many more. A number of measures are being asked for and petitions are being prepared and circulated but none of them are certain to succeed. Following are ones already filed and are all of great importance: (The measures yet to be initiated are some of them from the women's clubs). The total prohibition amendment is to be known as Art. XXIV-A, prohibits sale of alcoholic liquor in saloons, restaurants and public places generally, to contain not more than one per cent alcohol. It allows sales in pharmacies and places where manufactured and goes into effect January 1, 1918. It allows delivery in quantities of not less than ad as manager Jot C.

YOSEMITE, SEQUOIA AND GEN. GRANT NATIONAL PARKS That the forests of Yosemite, Sequoia and General Grant national parks surpass any other of their kind in the size and beauty of trees and the number of species represented is stated by C. L. Hill in a publication on the forests of these parks just issued by the department of the interior. This pamphlet which may be purchased from the superintendent of documents, government printing office, in Washington, for 20 cents, contains descriptions of the species and of the forest types as well as pictures of the important trees. The most interesting tree is the sequoia, which is the crowning achievement of the vegetable kingdom in size and majesty and age. When Cheops dreamed the first pyramid, says the report, some of these hoary giants of today doubtless already were springing up and hopefully taking possession of this very soil above which in lordly height and grandeur they look down upon us for millennium after, while Abraham and Moses and David established and led the people of Israel these hopeful seedlings grew through an exuberant youth in the lusty strength of approaching prime they were entering into their kingdom over the forest when imperial Rome began; they stood in a calm and undaunted maturity when Jesus trod the Judean hills; and when William of Normandy fought on the field of Hastings they were already putting on the hoary garments of age. Yet there they still stand today, after another millennium has sped; in calm serenity and majesty, unhurt by disease unscarred by all save fire, and the hand of man, while we, creatures of a day creep about and peep beneath their mighty shade and pass away, while they live on. And there is no visible reason, barring foolhardy destruction by man, why they should not still live for another millennium or more. COLONIZATION OF ERN CA Clark W.

Marshal French of Fullerton has discovered a dog with a memory of an event two years old. The dog is owned by Adam Brandle, and various persons of unquestioned probity will vouch for the truthfulness of the story. Two years ago Marshal French had occasion to kill a stray dog. The execution happened on Spadra avenue at Fullerton and the officer started to take the carcass away for burial. As he started down the street, Brandle who was driving by offered to give French a lift. In the seat with Brandle was a Spitz dog, which he owns, and as the officer tossed the body of the dead dog into the wagon, Brandle's dog barked and snarled. That was two years ago, but in spite of that Brandle's dog never fails to bark at French every time the latter passes. NEW RIVER CHANNEL CLOSED AGAINST TIDE The break in the sandspit between Huntington Beach and Newport Beach has been filled in. What was once ANAHEIM GAZETTE—THURSDAY, MAY 25 thought to be a godsend turned out to be a destroyer. Thursday a dredger brought to the place by Engineer S. H. Finley for the Talbert Drainage District waited until low tide and in two hours the gap was closed. The break occurred last January. Heavy floods broke from the Santa Ana river channel and covered the lowlands back of the sandspit to a depth of ten or fifteen feet. Thousands of acres were inundated. Then the water found a tiny opening into the sea. The opening grew. With pent up waters behind it, the stream grew to a terrific torrent, and within a short time a channel 1200 feet wide was torn out, and the lowlands were relieved of the accumulation of flood waters. At the time it was believed that the channel would be a permanent relief. A short time, however, proved otherwise. High tides began to flow in through the break and cover the rich lowlands. A seven foot tide is due in June, and it was figured out that that tide, if allowed to come through would cover between 2000 and 3000 acres of land, much of it set to sugar beets. Engineer Finley was instructed to close the break. He did so. The action of the waters had closed all but 100 feet of the channel. With the dredger the 100 feet was diked in about two hours Thursday. The engineer provided two 48-inch pipe lines from the lowlands to the sea, controlled by tide gates on the lowlands side of the sandspit. COLONIZATION MAN IS IN SOUTH-ERN CALIFORNIA Clark W.

COLONIZATION MAN IS IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA Clark W. Bentham of Minneapolis, who is an authority on matters pertaining to colonization has been in Southern California for the purpose of acquiring data that will aid him in the intelligent direction of setlers to this part of the United States. For years Mr. Bentham has made it his business to enlist the interest of prospective settlers in the state of Minnesota and other commonwealths in the northwest, and he has had a part in the extensive colonization of those sections of the country. Now this man whose profession is the directing of colonization, has turned his attention to the Southwest. He is engaged in a tour of Southern California, where he is amassing information that later will be systematized and reduced to the proper form for ready reference. The gentleman will find the conditions in Anaheim and vicinity to be unexcelled and would do well to visit this section to learn of the natural advantages which we enjoy and which have made the Mother Colony known far and wide. County water works district bonds of the sort authorized by the legislature of 1915 are not good and sufficient collateral for banks when they wish to borrow from the state, according to a decision of Attorney General Webb. The decision was rendered at the request of State Treasurer Friend W. Richardson. The request was made when a banking institution applied for $12,000 in state money, advancing Los Angeles county water district bonds as security.

The chambers of commerce of Corona and San Bernardino have passed resolutions asking the Orange county supervisors to have the canyon road opened up as soon as possible, as that highway opens the shortest way from the upper valleys to the sea coast.
