DISTRICT MAY BE FORMED TO SET BUILDINGS BACK Continued from Page 1 tion, was presented and referred back for correction. The ordinance will penalize the solicitation of sales of liquor to be taken into restaurants and having the same served with meals. In several instances in the past complaint has been made that liquor had been served in restaurants with meals to young men and women. In some cases the liquor had been telephoned for. The ordinance is to prohibit this practice, but it is said a person may buy the refreshments outside and take it into the restaurants, or any other place, for service. The city attorney advises that it is a very close question. In the state of Illinois a case taken on appeal to the supreme court was upheld, proholibiting the use of liquor on railroad trains and stations. It is claimed that this is the only case on record where a similar case has been upheld by a state supreme court. A new resolution was passed asking for bids to pave street intersections on West Broadway. The same will be found printed in this issue. In regard to the matter of having railroad companies install wig-wags at all street crossings within the city, the city attorney said a petition must be filed with the railroad commission, asking for their installation. The companies then proceed in the matter. For the marshals' was sent to the city. The trustees balked. The bill was referred back for correction. Marshal Kellenberger says he attended the celebration as a representative of the city and failed to see why he should pay for the new headgear. He claims the plug hat belongs to the city, and that it may be taken out on parade on future occasions—or may be presented to the city clerk for Christmas. Upon motion of Trustee Brunworth and carried, all bids for paving West Broadway were rejected, and the certified checks were ordered returned. An ordinance was up for first reading prohibiting the public outcry or solicitation upon the streets for trade on the part of the jitney bus runners of this city. It has been the practice of some of these managers to intercept pedestrians upon the street, whom they believed were going to the station where the stages stop, and ply their trade. In some cases, it is reported, their efforts have been very distasteful to persons who perchance may desire to take passage out of town. A case was reported as happening in a nearby town, wherein a lady carring a suit case almost had the hand bag torn apart by the over zealous spielers. The authorities here believe too much leeway is given the runners in this city, and the trustees decided to pass the ordinance prohibiting their street solicitations.

The same will be found printed in this issue. In regard to the matter of having railroad companies install wig-wags at all street crossings within the city, the city attorney said a petition must be filed with the railroad commission, asking for their installation. The companies then proceed in the matter. The city must furnish their street designation and also a blue print and map. The matter was referred to the attorney and engineer. An ordinance, fixing the tax levy at $1.45 for the ensuing year, was presented for first reading. On July 27 the appointments for marshal, rate collector, recorder, and street superintendent were made, and the law provides that each must file a bond, within thirty days, for the faithful performance of their duties. This latter requirement has not been complied with. Upon advice of City Attorney Ames these officials were re-appointed at the Thursday night's meeting. Street Superintendent Sackett's bond in the amount of $300 was filed Monday evening, August 28, with M. W. Martenet and Wm. Houts as surleties. The question has been asked, that since the bond of the street superintendent had not been filed within thirty days after his appointment on July 27th, whether or not that would invalidate any action of that official since that date. The law specifically states that the bond must be filed within thirty days after appointment. Attorney Ames says it does not affect the legality of any action upon the part of the street superintendent, as the old bond holds good. Trustee Dwyer brought up the matter of raising the licenses for all wholesale and retail liquor establishments to $100 per month each. At present retailers pay $75 a month and wholesalers $50. Trustee Dwyer argued that this license is too low. He maintains that since a large foreign trade is enjoyed, especially by the wholesalers, that they pay the city more revenue. The liquor ordinance recently was amended, giving wholesalers the right to sell a pint of whiskey, and retailers privileges were extended, allowing them to dispense six bottles of beer at one time to a single customer. Trustee Dwyer argues that the city, by giving them upheld by a state supreme court. NEW OIL DISCOVERY NEAR CHINO AND CORONA Great Activity Reported in the Orange County Fields Announcement is made that oil has been discovered in the district between Chino and Corona. News was made public in Chino that a small gusher about midway between the two cities was brought in, and that active production may soon be started. While only a few new wells have been commenced in the local fields during the past month drilling is being rushed on nearly every lease in this section. The Union Oil company has just commenced another well on the Bastanchury ranch within the city limits of Fullerton, on the north. Some light producing wells have been found on this property and as the new hole is some distance away from the old wells the company hopes to bring in a much heavier producer in the new well just started. The Birch Oil company is drilling four wells. No. 10 is down 4150 feet; No. 11, 1712 feet; No. 12, 4360 feet; No. 13, 2300 feet. This company will probably bring in two wells within the next sixty days. The Birch lease is now producing 900 barrels daily. The Brea Canyon (Dan Murphy) great gasser brought in about three months ago is still producing thousands of feet of gas daily but the oil output from this hole is only about 200 barrels a day. This company is drilling three wells. No. 27, put on the pump recently, is producing about 300 barrels daily. It is not far from the big gasser. The Fullerton Oil company is drilling two wells. The Standard Oil company is drilling two wells in the city of Fullerton and nine wells on the Murphy and Emery leases. The Columbia is drilling two new wells in Brea canyon. The Union, in all, is putting down eight or nine wells in the local field. The Corpo De Oro Oil company is drilling a well in a wildcat field, north of Brea canyon across the line in Los Angeles county. The hole is down 1500 feet but no oil has been found. About 20 of the old wells on the Puente lease are being pumped but nearly all of them are light producers, many of the holes having been on the pumps over 25 years.

He maintains that since a large foreign trade is enjoyed, especially by the wholesalers, that they pay the city more revenue. The liquor ordinance recently was amended, giving wholesalers the right to sell a pint of whiskey, and retailers privileges were extended, allowing them to dispense six bottles of beer at one time to a single customer. Trustee Dwyer argues that the city, by giving these privileges, should receive more tax revenue from the liquor trade. Trustee Brunworth also looks with favor upon the raise, and in all probability the readjustment of the liquor ordinance will be brought up at the next meeting. City Engineer Steward reported that he had been in communication with Engineer Muir of the Southern Pacific railway, in reference to lowering the grade of their roadbed on Walnut street. The grade is now three feet high and the railroad representative has tentatively agreed to lower it two feet, in order to facilitate the installation of a culvert at that point, and the railroad company is to pay one-half the expense of the same. The action of the city engineer was approved and just so soon as the railway company's front office puts its OK. on the proposition, the work will be proceeded with. Engineer Adams recommended that the city enter into a contract with an electric firm for installation of meters. The city uses on the average of ten a month. A bill was presented by F. A. Yung-bluth for officers suits, and another item was for $5.50 for a plug hat for Marshal Kellenberger, who was a member of the party who attended the fiesta de luze at Santa Ana some weeks ago. Of course, the gentlemen had to wear the stove-pipes. The bill SUGAR CONTENT IS ABOVE THE AVERAGE Orange County Growers Will Receive 30 Cents More per Ton In Consequence Beet growers of Orange county will average 30 cents per ton better than they did last year for their crop if the ratio of increase in per cent in saccharine quality shown since the season opened, continues throughout the season. In round numbers this means about $150,000. The Santa Ana and Anaheim factories have been operating for two weeks or more, and the beets sliced by each show an average increase of 1 per cent above the average for last year—which means 30 cents per ton. With $4.50 as the price first established for the season for 15 per cent beets, and two bonuses of 50 cents per ton each, the price for 15 per cent beets is $5.50 per ton. Some fields are producing beets running as high as 30 per cent, and indications are that more acres under some of the factories will produce this grade than did last year. Thirty per cent beets bring $10 per ton. The increase of 30 cents per ton on the average comes in the way of a better average of sugar in the beets. The general average has been from 17 to 18 per cent in past seasons. This year there is more 20 and 21 per cent to cent. The absence of this cool summer and the better quality of products may be determined by amount of cooperative applications have, it been received for specific projects. MILLION DOLLARS FOR NATIONAL HIGHWAYS PLANS ANNOUNCED FOR THIS YEAR'S WORK UNDER FEDERAL ROAD ACT CALIFORNIA WILL RECEIVE $140,763 OF FIRST MONEY TO BE EXPENDED Secretary Houston has just announced the plan to be pursued in spending the ten million dollars appropriated by the Federal aid road act for the construction and maintenance of roads and trails within or partly within national forests, and has tentatively allotted among the various national forest states the million dollars which is expendable this fiscal year. The tentative allotments to the principal national forest states are as follows: Alaska, $46,280; Arizona, $59,795; Arkansas, $11,294; California, $140,763; Colorado, $62,335; Idaho, $108,010; Montana, $89,901; Nevada, $19,195; New Mexico, $42,622; Oregon, $127,794; South Dakota, $8,115; Utah, $40,982; Washington, $91,739; Wyoming, $40,566. In addition a total of $9,552 has been tentatively assigned to Florida, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota and Oklahoma, while the Eastern states—Maine, New Hampshire, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Georgia—in which the government is purchasing lands for national forests, have CIVIL SERVICE EXAMINATIONS Sept. 2—Field Worker, Bureau of Tuberculosis, State Board of Health—Candidates must be eligible for registration as nurses in California; must have special training in public health nursing; have had experience in school nursing; must understand the organization of clinics and better babies contests; and be able to talk to school children on general hygiene and tuberculosis.

It is far richer than the ordinary article and the extreme care with which it is handled from cow to bottle will give added satisfaction in the knowledge of its ab In general," said Secretary Houston, the states and counties will be required to furnish cooperation in an amount at least equal to 50 per cent of the estimated cost of the surveys and construction. However, upon a satisfactory showing by the applicant state or county that such proportion of cooperation is inequitable, it may be altered and the ratio of cooperation fixed upon a basis equitable to both the state or county and the United States." The method followed in apportioning the money was explained by Secretary Houston as follows: Ten per cent of the amount available each year will be withheld as a contingent fund. One-half of the remainder will be allotted to the states in amounts which will be based on the area of National Forest lands in each state. The other half will be apportioned on a basis of estimated value of timber and forage resources which the forests contain. Amounts apportioned but unexpended within three years, and any balance of the contingent fund which remains unapportioned at the end of each year, will be reapportioned on the same basis as the original allotments. The two groups of states to which lump sums are allotted are, it was explained, to be considered as single units of apportionment. Apportionments now to be made are for the current fiscal year only. Thereafter new apportionments will be made, giving consideration to the number and character of applications made by the state and county officials for expenditures on specific projects. These applications must be filed with the district foresters in the seven national forest districts on or before January 1 of each year, for the fiscal year beginning the following July 1. The determination of the projects upon which funds will be expended during the current fiscal year will be made on the basis of applications which must be filed with the district IN ANYTHING YOU COOK requiring milk you'll get much better results if you use ours.

The variation in flow exhibited by these wells with the rise and fall of the tide is of peculiar interest, The determination of the projects upon which funds will be expended during the current fiscal year will be made on the basis of applications which must be filed with the district foresters on or before October 1, 1916. Each application must contain a statement of the public need to be served by the proposed road and the manner and extent to which it would aid in the development of resources upon which communities within or adjacent to the national forests are dependent, and must also show the general location of the proposed road and its estimated cost. As already stated, in general states and counties must be prepared to furnish cooperation equal to at least 50 per cent of the estimated cost of surveys and construction. This cooperation may be in the form of money, labor and materials, or the construction of roads. Where other factors are equal, the approval of a project may be determined upon the relative amount of cooperation offered. Many applications have, it is stated, already been received for expenditures upon specific projects. year there is more tonnage running 20 and 21 per cent than 17 and 18 per cent. The absence of the top disease and the cool summer are responsible for the better quality of beets. The Holly plant on South Main street Santa Ana will start operations Thursday. The plant has been put in good running condition and will have a campaign of about fifty days. OPEN LAND IN ANGELES FOREST As a result of the land classification of the entire Angeles national forest in this state, recently completed by the forest service, a proclamation was signed by the president on August 23, eliminating 99,544 acres from that forest, and restoring the lands to the public domain. The greater portion of the lands involved are embraced in a solid block at the eastern edge of the forest, 24 miles in length and varying from two to six miles in width. About one-third of the area eliminated is already in private ownership. Of the government lands 6,500 acres were found to be chiefly valuable for agriculture. None of the lands involved contain any merchantable timber, and most of the cover is brush, such as is common to the desert slopes. The lands were found to be of little or no value for forest or watershed purposes, and the secretary of agriculture therefore recommended their elimination from the Angeles forest. DEEP WELLS THAT FEEL THE SEA In their investigations of the underground water resources of the Costal plain of Virginia the geologists of the United States geological survey have collected data relating to the many hundreds of artesian wells that yield excellent waters in large areas of the costal region. Particular note has been made of the quantity and quality of the supply afforded by wells that give flows at the surface. The water of most of these wells is admirably adapted to household uses, though some of them contains enough mineral salts in solution to make trouble in boilers used for steam purposes. The variation in flow exhibited by these wells with the rise and fall of the tide is of peculiar interest, the flow being notably greater at the flood than at ebb tide. It is the general opinion among well drillers that practically all flowing wells near tidal rivers or inlets from open bays do feel the distant sea, but some of them so slightly that the variation in flow is not noticeable. The geologists in charge of the ground water investigations in Virginia states that changes in water levels in wells, due to fluctuations in the height of the surface of some neighboring body of water, have been observed all over the world. It is customary to explain these changes by supposing a direct connection between the river, lake, or bay; but in many places, as in eastern Virginia, such connection is clearly impossible, owing to the depth of the wells and the nature of the intervening beds, some of them dense, tough marls and clays. These beds, however, though they do not transmit water, nevertheless contain it, and as water is practically incompressible, any variation of level on the river or bay is transmitted to the wells. Many people practice numerous economies, but somehow their bank accounts are a sorry succession of goose eggs. Why economize if you do not deposit something in a bank?
