FINE PROGRAM AT NEW GRAND THEATRE DAMON AND PYTHIAS MADE HIT WITH A CROWDED HOUSE SUNDAY EVENING SPLENDID SHOWS EVERY NIGHT THIS WEEK AND FOR SATURDAY'S MATINEE Damon and Pythias, one of the greatest plays ever presented on a screen, was shown at the New Grand Sunday night to a full house. Knights of Pythias and Pythian Sisters were present from neighboring towns, and all appreciated the great performance. On Friday and Saturday "The Suspect," with Miss Anita Stewart in the leading role, was given. Monday and Tuesday "Shoes," a play that has been drawing crowded houses in the leading theatres in the cities, was presented to good audiences. The Scarlet Woman Tonight will be shown The Scarlet Woman, presented by Madame Petrova, the foremost emotional actress of the stage or screen. "The Scarlet Woman" was written especially for Mme. Petrova, as are all of the distinctive photodramas in which she is now appearing. They are made with a view to permit her the fullest display of her wonderful dramatic powers, and for this reason her productions always have a distinction and appeal that is all their own. Mr. Hoffman is one of the few authors who spends much of automobile constitute a real wreck. The engine was moved back several inches, the front axle is near the center of the car, the fender is under the car, and several other things happened to make the front end a real wreck. The electric light pole was split and splintered. SIX CYLINDERS MOST POPULAR Six cylinder motors are the most desired type for touring cars from the public view point at the present time, according to W. A. Luce. Mr. Luce handles the agency for Saxon Motor cars here and his statement is based upon the belief of many automobile users which have been expressed to him recently. "The reasons why the six-cylinder car is superior to the four cylinder have been told so often that they hardly need repeating," said Mr. Luce, today. "The increase of power, the absence of the jar and the way in which the six-cylinder is giving a satisfaction to countless motorists, all point to the fact that this type has a big following. "The Saxon, although retailing at the low price of $785, is built with the appointments of the costly car. It has two unit electric starting and lighting system; it has Timken axles and Timken bearings throughout its chassis, and everyone knows that Timken spells excellence in axle and bearing. It has a late design of yacht line type on its body and it has above all the Saxon motor, which gives a maximum power on a minimum amount of fuel. "Because I sell Saxons is one reason why I think the car tops its field, but the main reason why I sell them is because I have become convinced in their worth after an exhaustive study of the motor car field." SUMMER HOMES IN NATIONAL Woman, presented by Madame Petrova, the foremost emotional actress of the stage or screen. "The Scarlet Woman" was written especially for Mme. Petrova, as are all of the distinctive photodramas in which she is now appearing. They are made with a view to permit her the fullest display of her wonderful dramatic powers, and for this reason her productions always have a distinction and appeal that is all their own. Mr. Hoffman is one of the few authors who spends much of his time in the studios, while his scenarios are being picturized. He is always ready for consultations regarding the scores or questions that arise. Mme. Petrova, too, is considered a veritable wizard at making suggestions, for she possesses wonderful dramatic instinct. She began her career as a dramatic critic on the London Times, and went from there to the speaking stage. Mr. and Mrs. Sidney Drew will also appear in one of their great comedies tonight. The Vital Question This great Vitagraph play will be shown Friday and Saturday nights and at Saturday's matinee. It presents Virginia Pearson in one of her best productions, "The Vital Question," with an all-star cast. It is a wonderful drama, magnificently produced in five acts. Lonesome Luke in "The Circus King," will be the comedy for these three shows. The Slim Princess Francis X. Bushman in "The Slim Princess," will be on the screen Sunday night. This is produced by a combination of stars that can't be beat. Marie Dressler, the famous commedienne will also be shown in a six-reel comedy, "Tillie's Tomato Surprise." This is a record of the incredible adventures of a hoyden. Tillie Toddles, the heroine of the play, has a motto which she tries to live up to on every occasion. In addition to her motto Tillie has a mother. Her mother also has a motto. Mrs. Toddle's motto is "Girls should be ladies—even before they are girls." Tillie's motto is, "Girls will be boys—whenever they get a chance." It is a roaring farce and requires six reels to depict all of Tillie's difficulties. Manager Mozart is continuing to hold the crowds. People who patronize the New Grand know they will see a first class show whenever they choose to drop in. The Saturday matinee is also attracting good crowds. The plays Saturday afternoon will be SUMMER HOMES IN NATIONAL FORESTS The demand for national forest lands in California as sites for summer homes, resorts, aplaries, corrals, irrigation works, stores, school houses, municipal camps, and other uses is increasing annually, according to a report given out by District Forester DuBois. As evidence it is stated that the receipts to the government from rentals of National forest lands and from the issue of permits increased from $13,620 in 1913 to $21,772 in 1915. The total number of sites now in use for summer homes is 934, and for hotels and resorts 80. The greatest number of lost rented in any one forest is in the Angeles in Southern California, where 305 summer home sites have been rented during the past year. This extensive use of the Angeles forest for recreation purposes is due, it is said, to the fact that the forest boundaries are close to the center of population in southern California, and that the first tracts subdivided by the forest service for home building purposes were in the Angeles forest. Upon the completion of summer home surveys on the Feather River in the Plumas forest, around Lake Tahoe and Fallen eLaf lake in Tahoe and Eldorado forests, and about the shores of Huntington lake in the Sierra Forest, it is anticipated that hundreds of recreation seekers in the northern part of the state will avail themselves of the opportunities to secure summer home site. BALOON AT SEAL BEACH Wayne Abbott, recognized as the peer of all balloon voyagers will furnish one of the many thrills which Seal Beach has planned for the entertainment of its crowds at 8 o'clock on the evening of August 10, 11, 12 and 13, by plunging from a balloon at an altitude of 2000 feet. This death defying performance of the daring aeronaut will be followed through the sky by the rainbow rays. It has a late design of yacht line type on its body and it has above all the Saxon motor, which gives a maximum power on a minimum amount of fuel.

County Auto Wrecked:— Crowded off the state highway north of Santa Ana, a county Ford crashed head-on into an electric light pole, and Deputies A. K. Cravath and Arthur Eells of the sheriff's office had a close call from death Thursday. Cravath was badly bruised. Eells had his nose cut and bruised, and a slight cut on one hand barely missed a leader. The two officers were driving north on Main street at a point south of La Veta avenue when a Studebaker car passed them, and cut in so close that Cravath, who was driving, was forced off the highway. Striking the dirt, the machince he was driving, a Ford, county car No. 9, headed squarely into a pole. The crash came when the Ford was still going at sufficient speed to damage machine, pole and occupants. Eells was hurled through the windshield. How he escaped more serious cuts is a marvel. Cravath was thrown with such force against the steering wheel that the rod was crushed. Though stunned and dazed for a time, Eells' injuries are not serious. Cravath has one leg badly bruised, and he was otherwise so day.

This death defying performance of the daring aeronaut will be followed through the sky by the rainbow rays from the great battery of scintillators, which will distinctly show his every move from the time he leaves the earth in his upward flight, until he dives and lands. The constantly increasing crowds at Seal Beach are indulging in the night surf bathing by the aid of the great scintillator's brilliant light. This new sport is waxing more popular each week. The merry makers at Seal Beach are pronouncing it the coolest and the safest resort on the coast, the water possessing no undertow that endangers bathers elsewhere. The exquisite Jewel City Cafe, in which are served Millers' famous "Sunset" dinners every Tuesday evening, are drawing the epicurlans of the entire Southland. Seal Beach has scores of concessions to provide amusement and entertainment for the great crowds patronizing the resort. These include the roller coaster, the electric wheel chairs, surfboard riding, and games of every description. The dance pavilion accommodates 800 couples and the bathing pavilion contains 1000 finely appointed dressing rooms. The Rathskeller with its Bohemian atmosphere is becoming widely known. Dr. M. M.

MILLS SCORES OPPONENTS OF PROTECTION DISTRICT Protests Come Mostly From Non-Residents, He Claims Editor Gazette:—Why is there any opposition to the flood control on the west side of the Santa Ana river above the Newbert protection district? The Newbert people take care of 10 miles of river on each side, making 20 miles of levee, and have but about 18,000 acres of land. Olive and West Orange are to take care of the east side at an approximate cost of $10 per acre. On the west side we have millions and millions more property subject to damage in United district, with about 50,000 acres included and only 10 miles of levee at an approximate cost of $2.25 per acre. However, there is opposition and this may be segregated as follows: Non-resident owners of large tracts of land in the western section of the county are leaders in this opposition. These same large owners object to every improvement proposed in Orange county, and they bear the same relation to Orange county that a big overgrown bunion does to the victim's foot, but must be borne and endured with about the same grace as is the bunion. Next comes the resident kicker who always objects to any and all means of protection or improvement, and prides himself that he is so. Generally you find him riding in an automobile and indulging in lavish expenditures for himself. His motto is hundreds of dollars for pleasure and sport but not a dollar for necessary protection and improvement. Then there are those who want to do it some other way—a way that is generally impracticable or utter impossible. At the present time the people are planning to form a district on the east side and throw up a levee thus forcing all of the flood waters to the west side. After months and months of incessant work the board of supervisors has granted the petition and formed the United district for the west side. There has been obtained a free right of way 1100 feet wide along an alignment of the river which is pronounced the best possible. The Newbert people paid $55,000 for a right of way 300 feet wide. On the same basis the right of way in the United district is worth about $170,000 or nearly double whatern Pacific, $66,965,422; Southern Pacific coast railway, $2,328,075; Northwestern Pacific, $6,614,926; Santa Fe, $31,954,288; San Pedro, Los Angeles and Salt Lake, $5,589,754; Sierra Railway, $740,512; Western Pacific, $7,759,780; Boca and Loyalton, $84,700; Nevada, California and Oregon, $787,304; Oakland, Antioch and Eastern, $829,050; Northern Electric, $1,102,738; Central California Traction, $444,690; Pacific Coast Railway, $368,446; San Francisco, Napa and Calistoga, $357,726; Nevada County Narrow Gauge, $179,626; Lake Tahoe Railway and Transportation Company, $70,090; Yosemite Valley $564,689; Pajaro Valley Consolidated Railroad, $165,440; Ocean Shore Railroad, $133,348; California Central, $31,788; Tidewater Southern, $161,165; Tonopah and Tidewater, $607,320; Riverside, Rialto and Pacific, $48,900; Tiona Railway, $119,940; the Pullman Company, $3,548,023. MISLEADING THE PEOPLE At a time when the American people are particularly in need of frank presentation of facts, it is unfortunate to say the least, that Secretary McAdoo should give to the press of the country a statement of half truths upon which he bases ill-founded conclusions regarding the industrial situation. He calls attention to the fact that resources of our banks exceed by $370,000,000 the greatest ever known that national bank deposits are $2,198,000,000 greater than a year ago, but is silent on the fact that largely as a result of the war in Europe we had a billion dollar trade balance in the fiscal year 1915, and a two billion dollar balance in the fiscal year 1916. Speaking of the prospect of foreign competition with American industries after the close of the war in Europe, he says that many of the skilled workers of European countries have been lost; many of their industries have been destroyed; their credit resources seriously impaired, and that other serious difficulties must be overcome if they are to regain foreign markets. As a matter of fact, there has not been a single battle fought on German or British soil, only small portions of Austria and France have been invaded, and the portion of Russia in which battles have been fought is an inconsiderable portion of the entire country and not of great importance from the standpoint of production in competi- bor 6 months ago were running, compared with 51 per cent in August, 1914. The war has been a spur to industry in Europe rather than a destroying influence. Poverty and excessive taxation will drive thousands into gainful occupation who formerly were not in the producing class. It is not, however, with Europe alone that we must deal in the future. The war has greatly developed the industries of Japan and increased the wealth of that nation as it has increased the wealth of the United States. China is also becoming a larger factor in our import trade. The cheap labor of those nations makes them producers with whom we must compete in the future to a much larger extent than in the past. During recent months we have had through the newspapers and from official sources, evidences of agreements among the allies on the one hand, and between the central powers on the other hand, having as their sole purpose the advancement of the commercial interests of those nations which have been allied in warfare as against their present adversaries and as against neutral countries. In view of these facts it is little less than criminal for Secretary McAdoo to endeavor to lull the American people into repose by asserting that they as the still furnish which the enterlock on and 13, an altiance of followed how rays illuminators, is every eyes the until he rows at the night the great this new or each are the safter post-dangers.

St, Suite RAILROAD ASSESSMENT The state board of equalization in a special session has fixed the assessment against railroad companies in California under which the state Controller fixes the refunds and bond reductions on interest in the several cities and counties. The total assessment is $157,006,590 for 1916, as against $154,935,636 for 1915, mak-in an increase of $2,070,954. The following are the assessments of the individual railroads: Central Pacific, $25,448,850; South- After months and months of incessant work the board of supervisors has granted the petition and formed the United district for the west side. There has been obtained a free right of way 1100 feet wide along an alignment of the river which is pronounced the best possible. The Newbert people paid $55,000 for a right of way 300 feet wide. On the same basis the right of way in the United district is worth about $170,000 or nearly double what it is estimated the whole work will cost. After the levee is put up and oiled the supervisors have agreed to take it over as a roadway and do all possible to assist in maintaining the levee. In the district on the east side the estimated cost will be about $10 per acre while here it will exceed $2 per acre but very little if at all. Under all these favorable conditions with millions of property liable to damage and destruction and thousands of lives in jeopardy there were those of by wilful misrepresentation induced many to sign protests and boasted of it. How craven. Under such favorable conditions let us all unite and elect a good conservative board of directors and proceed with the work. A. A. MILLS. It is true that several millions of people have been killed or wounded in the Europena war, but it is also true that millions of women have been drawn into productive enterprise, and that in all probability these have counterbalanced in production the men who have been slain. But if it be true that there has been a loss of workmen in those countries, it is also true that on account of the war, the United States has lost a million and a half of population of the working class, either through interrupted immigration or through emigration of reservists who were called home at the outbreak of the war. Secretary McAdoo's assertion that the industries of Europe have been seriously impaired was effectively disposed of by Edward Julheit, in an article in the May issue of The North American Review, in which he showed that not more than 6 percent of the industrial workmen of France are incapacitated for active labor as a result of the war. Seventy-nine per cent of all the factories inspected by the French minister of la- among the allies on the one hand, and between the central powers on the other hand, having as their sole purpose the advancement of the commercial interests of those nations which have been allied in warfare as against their present adversaries and as against neutral countries. In view of these facts it is little less than criminal for Secretary McAdoo to endeavor to lull the American people into repose by asserting that they are able to sustain themselves in a contest for their share of the world's markets. Mr. McAdoo has before him statistics of the present administration showing that in our commerce with all the rest of the world, we had a monthly balance of trade in our favor to the extent of nearly $139,000,000 in October, 1913, but under the baneful influence of the democratic tariff law that monthly balance steadily declined until April, 1914, when it was against us and continued against us until September, 1914, one month after the outbreak of the European war, which increased our exports and turned the monthly balance in our favor. Undoubtedly, the United States can maintain itself in a commemral contest with all the rest of the world, but in order to do so, under a free trade policy, it must almost meet European and Asiatic countries upon a plane of equality in respect to wages and standards of living. If Mr. McAdoo and the party for which he speaks believe that America should enter into a contest on those conditions, he should be frank enough to say so. Instead of thus plainly stating the conditions that confront American industry, Mr. McAdoo tries to mislead the American people by asserting that the development of American foreign trade was prevented by those republicans and a few democrats who defeated the government Ford THE UNIVERSAL CAR New Prices August 1st, 1916 The following prices for Ford cars will be effective on and after Aug. 1, 1916: Chassis . . $325.00 Runabout . 345.00 Touring Car . 360.00 Coupelet . . 505.00 Town Car . . 595.00 Sedan . . . 645.00 F.O.B.

He assumes that there have been ships lying idle which the government could have bought and utilized in carrying American products. He falls however, to mention the name of a single ship that has been idle and which could have been bought by the government and used in carrying merchandise to and from our ports. The facts which Mr. McAdoo stated make a very plausible superficial presentation in support of the claim that America is today enjoying substantial prosperity. To any thoughtful person however, who will look beneath the surface of those statistics, it is evident that at the close of the European war American industry will be confronted by the greatest crisis in our history. Failure to present all the facts for the consideration of our citizens is nothing less than a dereliction of official duty and is a demonstration of the need of a new leadership which will deal frankly with the people it is chosen to serve.
