IMPORTANCE OF DEEP SEA PORT AT NEWPORT ONTARIO MAN ASKS ORANGE, SAN BERNARDINO AND RIVERSIDE COUNTIES TO FAVOR IT DECLARES TRUCKS CAN NOW HANDLE ALL FREIGHT TO INLAND POINTS Highly commending the city of Newport for its recent voting of bonds in the amount of $125,000 for the improvement of its harbor and pointing out the importance of the improvement to that section, Charles Frankish, pioneer Ontario capitalist and for years prominently identified with the development of that locality, is out with a strong plea to the counties of Orange San Bernardino and Riverside to get behind the little coast city in its big undertaking. Discussing the situation, Frankish said, in part: "The Panama Canal is open, bringing the Atlantic coast of North and South America and the whole of Europe within easy reach of the Pacific coast." "The entire Pacific coast is awakening to its importance in maritime affairs and capital and wideawake business men are coming to realize that California, with a coast line of some 1000 miles and only six really natural tors, while no additional help has been needed in the lesser grape sections. At the beginning of the season these officials visit the vinyeards, making sugar tests to determine for the individual growers when their fruit may contain the required percentage which is 17 per cent for Tokays, Malagas, etc., and 16 per cent for Emperors. This testing work, however, is soon finished as the grapes soon all pass above the minimum of sweetness specified in the law. At this point the field inspection is abandoned in most counties, the inspectors transferring their activities to the packing and shipping houses. There they open packages at will, passing upon the condition, freedom from insect pests and fungus diseases, maturity of fruit, quality of packing and whatever item may come within their authority. Failure to comply with the law may entail rejection or the fruit may be ordered repacked or any other reasonable requirement of the inspector made incumbent upon the shipper. Mildew, for example always causes rejections, while poor packing may or may not be the cause of condemnation according to the judgement of the official. The law, imperfect as it is, has done a great deal to bring about better and more uniform consignment of fruits and when properly amended will become a most helpful influence in raising the quality of California deciduous fruits. When the new law became effective one year ago several shippers were arrested for sending out condemned fruit. All these violations related to grapes. Conviction was secured in every case tried before local courts, most of them before juries and wherever appealed to superior courts the verdicts were sustained. The present season has not witnessed an arrest, so far, showing that the act is meeting public favor and succeeding where other plans had failed. Furthermore, there is a strong sentiment among IMMATURE FRUIT CANDY. Government Says anges is a Violent Food Growers and shipgrapefruit are made of the United States Agriculture in reflection will be taken during the coming venting the ship commerce of immigrant which have been by sweating. The officials in forcement of the state they will action by the position previously effect that the ship commerce of immigrant graptfruit, which before shipment on lation of the Food, the sweating condition making unripe fruit. The sweating process color of the unripe fruit so treated is of being ripe. How vestigation by the shown that the swot not ripen the immigrant. One of the tests ever or not an orange so-called "eight-tone test is based on the ble solids to the juice of the orange ids increase as while the acid dec are considered in juice contains solids or in excess of a part of acid content. The amount of a range juice is about amount of sugar ratio of the sugar Discussing the situation, Frankish said, in part: "The Panama Canal is open, bringing the Atlantic coast of North and South America and the whole of Europe within easy reach of the Pacific coast. "The entire Pacific coast is awakening to its importance in maritime affairs and capital and wideawake business men are coming to realize that California, with a coast line of some 1000 miles and only six really natural harbor sites, needs every one of them made available as quickly as possible, so that the state may control its fair proportion of the trade of the Pacific and 'the Isles beyond the sea.'" "Newport bay has long been recognized as one of the finest natural harbor sites on the California coast, with an inner bay fully protected from storm, capable of being made large enough to accommodate an immense fleet and having unexcelled locations for protecting forts. "Now the great project begins to move. The city of Newport recently voted $125,000 to make a beginning. Let Orange, San Bernardino and River-side counties get behind and give the necessary boost to carry the undertaking to a successful issue. They can well afford to do it for it will be of untold benefit to them." "A railroad is no longer needed to connect the inland counties with the coast. The motor truck has come to take the place of the railroad for short hauls. The truck will receive the goods at the farm, the orchard, the cannery, packing house and warehouse in the various cities or districts and will deliver them on shipboard at the harbor cheaper than a railroad could and without unnecessary handling. "What should now be done is for the three counties mentioned to join in building a substantial motor truck road capable of standing the necessary loads, from the harbor to the principal centers of each county, charging a tonnage toll for the use thereof to meet the cost of construction and maintenance. "This could be done at one fourth the cost of building and equipping a railroad line and would be available to every shipper without profit to any corporation, surely an ideal method of public ownership of transportation facilities." "Such a road would bring Ontario within thirty-five miles of tidewater, all down grade say two or three hours one year ago several shippers were arrested for sending out condemned fruit. All these violations related to grapes. Conviction was secured in every case tried before local courts, most of them before juries and wherever appealed to superior courts the verdicts were sustained. The present season has not witnessed an arrest, so far, showing that the act is meeting public favor and succeeding where other plans had failed. Furthermore, there is a strong sentiment among the growers favoring an increase in the minimum sugar percentage of grapes and the law will no doubt be amended to that effect." ORANGE COUNTY FIREMEN PERFECT ORGANIZATION Chief Jackson of Santa Ana, Elected President For securing greater prevention against fires, and for co-operation in putting out any large fire which may start in the county, and at the same time promoting fellowship among the various departments of the county, the Orange County Firemen's association was organized at a meeting held in Santa Ana Friday night. Organisation was started at a meeting held several months ago, but not until Friday night was the by-laws committee ready to report. The firemen in the various towns of the county plan a cooperative effort to prevent fires, and when plazes do occur to work together to quench them and at the same time protect the balance of the territory. No department which does not have standard equipment is eligible to membership in the county association, hence the organization will tend to induce standard equipment in all the cities so that hose from one city can be used in another city if the necessity arises. Chief Mont Jackson of Santa Ana was elected president of the county association. The next meeting will be held in this city December 21. Chief Castle of Newport Beach was elected vice president, Chief Waite of Fullerton secretary, and Fireman Hagan Moberly of Orange and Goodrich of Anaheim directors-at-large. Three delegates were present from each town in the county. By laws were adopted and several matters of interest discussed, with tentative test is based on the juice solids increase as while the acid decompose are considered in juice contains solids or in excess of part of acid content. The amount of a range juice is about amount of sugar ratio of the sugar juice determines orange. In the case of it is indicated by a part of soluble solids part of acid.

"Such a road would bring Ontario within thirty-five miles of tidewater, all down grade, say two or three hours for a loaded truck. Riverside would be within forty miles, Colton within fifty miles, San Bernardino fifty-four miles and Redlands fifty-eight miles. "Let every city and community in the section to be benefited put its shoulder to the wheel and boost and push for all it is worth and then keep going until the goal is won." BETTER TABLE GRAPES The act which took effect last August provides a specified schedule for each variety of deciduous fruit purporting to come under the standardizing scheme. Citrus fruits are not included. After specifying what shall constitute a standard package of each kind the law provides that the county horticultural commission of each county shall have charge of its enforcement. He is empowered to appoint fruit inspectors in sufficient numbers to pass upon all fruits offered for interstate shipment and condemn all packages that do not come up to the statutory requirements. These inspectors are paid from the county treasure. In the larger producers of table grapes such as Tulare, Fresno and San Joaquin it has been necessary to employ from 8 to 15 of these inspec- ANAHEIM GAZETTE—THURSDAY, OCTOBER 26 1916 IMMATURE FRUIT CANNOT BE SHIPPED Government Says That Sweating Oranges is a Violation of the Pure Food Law Growers and shippers of oranges and grapefruit are making many inquiries of the United States Department of Agriculture in reference to what action will be taken by the Department during the coming season toward preventing the shipment into interstate commerce of immature citrus fruits which have been artificially colored by sweating. The officials in charge of the enforcement of the Food and Drug Act state they will be guided in their action by the position of the Department previously announced, to the effect that the shipment in interstate commerce of immature oranges and graptfruit, which are sweated either before shipment or enroute, is a violation of the Food and Drugs act when the sweating conceals inferiority by making unripe fruit appear to be ripe. The sweating process turns the green color of the unripe fruit to yellow, and fruit so treated has the appearance of being ripe. However, extensive investigation by the department have shown that the sweating process does not ripen the immature fruit. One of the tests to determine whether or not an orange is mature is the so-called "eight-to-one test." This test is based on the ratio of the soluble solids to the acid contained in the juice of the orange. The soluble solids increase as the oranges ripen, while the acid decreases. The oranges are considered immature until the juice contains soluble solids equal to or in excess of eight parts to each part of acid contained in the juice. The amount of soluble solids in orange juice is about equivalent to the amount of sugar it contains. The ratio of the sugar to the acid in the grow and mature properly, and on the other hand that the interior valleys were too hot and dry that corn needed summer rains, in fact the summing up was usually conveyed in one sentence, "California is not a corn state."

SURPRISING INCREASE IN OIL INDUSTRY Five Hundred and Fifty New Wells Started Since January 1 The oil industry in every oil producing locality is forging ahead in a surprising manner. It hardly seems possible that since the first of the year five hundred and fifty new wells have been started in the state. This it is needless to say to many farmers all over the state that all of the reasons why corn should not be planted as a farm crop in California, have been disproved by the production of SURPRISING INCREASE IN OIL INDUSTRY Five Hundred and Fifty New Wells Started Since January 1 The oil industry in every oil producing locality is forging ahead in a surprising manner. It hardly seems possible that since the first of the year five hundred and fifty new wells have been started in the state. This fact would be questioned if we did not have the statistical records of the State Mining Bureau to prove the figures. Financial News wishes to emphasize that a new era has dawned for the producing companies of California, and one that promises to exceed in earnings and profits anything in the past history of the industry. The Union Oil Co. of California, the second largest producer and developer in the local field, has just issued a statement to its stockholders relative to the financial status of the company. The report sets forth that the profits earned from all operations less general expenses were approximately $7,150,000. This amount is equivalent to 21 per cent per annum of the capital stock. A dividend of $1.50 a share will be paid to the stockholders the 24th of October. The Union Oil report a big development card for the week. On the Hole Lease things are moving fast. Hole No. 8 is being redrilled and cleaned out. Hole No. 9 is in the oil sand at 3200. Oil sand has been encountered at Hole 11 at a little better than 3200 feet. No. 12 is close to the above in depth and the formation shows a good grade of oil sand. Hole No. 13 is around the 2700 ft. mark. At Hole No. 18 a rig is going up and will be completed before the end of the week. Abandoning work is going on at San Juan 3 and G. & L. 35. On the Bastanchury Lease the Union's two wells No. 5 and 6 are both making good depths. Bastanchury No. 5 is better than 3100 on the cable tools. Bastanchury No. 6 is rotating at 1700 feet. On the Graham and Loftus Lease drilling is underway at No. 38, 39, 40, 41 and 50. No. 38 is close to 3100 ft. No. 40 is rotating again after being cemented. Drilling commenced at No. 41 early in the week. No. 50 is drilling and making satisfactory progress. Development work in the local gold continues strong. The several grow and mature properly, and on the other hand that the interior valleys were too hot and dry that corn needed summer rains, in fact the summing up was usually conveyed in one sentence, "California is not a corn state." It is needless to say to many farmers all over the state that all of the reasons why corn should not be planted as a farm crop in California, have been disproved by the production of corn crops that in points of yield per acre and quality, equal those grown in the great corn states. In the cooler sections corn does not grow as fast nor mature so quickly as in warmer climates but it gets there in time in both quantity and quality, and while on the delta lands, and subirrigated sections of the inland valleys, speed is also added, there remains no good argument against California as a corn growing state. Again on our so-called semi-arid lands the question is not whether corn will grow, but rather will the cost of irrigating water permit of profitable corn production. That California grown corn not only equals but surpasses eastern corn for milling purposes is a surprise and good news, but when this is added a $10 per ton differential in freight charges and that all corn raised here keeps approximately $33 per ton in California that would otherwise be sent out of the state, it looks as if a boom in corn planting might easily be started. That too much corn might be raised in California is not at all probable for the reason that any possible overproduction may be easily regulated by putting a larger amount into silos and feed it to stock whenever needed. Siloed corn is a staple product, and will keep indefinitely thus acting as an insurance against any slump in prices, or feed shortage. A change to corn occasionally will also benefit land that has been continuously sown to wheat or barley. Besides more diversified crops must be practiced if our lands are to be brought back to their virgin fertility, and the time has come when the yield per acre of farm crops will receive more attention. Also there is no good reason why increased corn production in this state should not keep pace with increased hog production cutting the importation of both products to the advantage of both producer and consumer. Public service commissions have been created and laws have been enacted to regulate such corporations in the interest of the public. But they are just as open to attack by the initiative as the most flagrant monopoly or the worst-abused phase of the public service. Banking, mines and smelters, timber and fishing industries, and agriculture itself are subject of destructive attacks by the initiative. How can a state expect sabiity and prosperity when it leaves the largest employers of labor and the largest taxpayers exposed to this? Many people of western states do not realize that all kinds of industries and the homesteads of the farmers themselves are being attacked. If the western states are to be filled with happy, well employed and prosperous people, they must place a curb on the use of the initiative. The United States civil service commission announces that on November 11 an examination will be held at Santa Ana as a result of which it is expected to make certification to fill a contemplated vacancy in the position of fourth class postmaster at Stanton and other vacancies as they may occur at that office, unless it shall be decided in the interests of the service to fill the vacancy by reinstatement. The compensation of the postmaster at this office was $201 for the last fiscal year. J. V. Richardson is postmaster at present. Application forms and full information concerning the requirements of the examinations can be secured from the post master at Stanton, or from the U. S. civil service commission at Washington, D. C. 5 is better than 3100 on the cable tools. Bastanchury No. 6 is rotating at 1700 feet. On the Graham and Loftus Lease drilling is underway at No. 38, 39, 40, 41 and 50. No. 38 is close to 3100 ft. No. 40 is rotating again after being cemented. Drilling commenced at No. 41 early in the week. No. 50 is drilling and making satisfactory progress. Development work in the local field continues strong. The several companies are all busy and report a lot of work underway in this week's report. The Amalgamated Oil company on the Hualde lease have No. 8 down 3150 feet. Hualde 9 is close to 2200 feet deep and going good. At No. 10 a depth of 2850 has been reached and the perforated is being put in. No. 17 stands cemented. No. 23 is drilling again and measures 3150. On the Anaheim Union Water Co.'s lease the Amalgamated are still doing redrilling work on No. 6 No. 30 is rotating and down 1300 feet. No. 40 is close to 3200 feet making rapid headway with the rotary. The superintendent of that company stated that the production on both the Hualde and Anaheim leases was holding up exceptionally well. RAISE MORE CORN The erroneous idea has gained a widespread circulation among the agricultural people of California that Indian corn cannot be successfully and profitably raised over any considerable acreage in this state. In the counties bordering on the ocean or near enough to receive cooling breezes therefrom we have often been told that the climate was too cold for corn and that it needed hot weather to wheat or barley. Besides more diversified crops must be practiced if our lands are to be brought back to their virgin fertility, and the time has also come when the yield per acre of farm crops will receive more attention. Also there is no good reason why increased corn production in this state should not keep pace with increased hog production cutting the importation of both products to the advantage of both producer and consumer. A POLITICAL MYSTERY Ex-Governor Hodges of Kansas served his term as chief executive of that state as the head of a democratic administration. It is hardly possible, however, to reconcile this fact with the declarations on national policy made by Governor Hodges in his speeches in California. We have never heard a more thoroughly orthodox republican address than the brilliant Kansan is delivering. The most thorough going Hughes supporter could find nothing but approval of the sentiments. Many assumed that Governor Hodges was a stalwart republican. He demanded full protection of American trade interests in the markets of the world. He warned that tariff walls and trade alliances will be built against us by the warring nations. He urged that we demand of our representatives attention to these problems. Charles Evans Hughes could have made no more logical or eloquent appeal in behalf of constructive policy. What complicates Governor Hodges' situation is that the policy of the democratic administration at Washington is the exact opposite of his own.

SUPERVISORS PROCEEDINGS The board of supervisors in adjourned session Tuesday postponed the consideration of bids for the coast road for a week. The contract and bonds for the improvement of Myford road made by Max L. Hubermann, were approved. Demands on the county of Orange on the hospital and highway funds were allowed as read. The county auditor was directed to cancel Certificate of sale No. 114, of the year 1913. The county auditor was directed to cancel double assessment to Mrs. H. A. Newman and Annie Arnold. The application of the Pacific Tel. & Tel. Co. to make excavations in East Orangethorpe avenue and Garden Grove-Orange roads were granted. The county auditor was directed to draw warrants in favor of registration clerks for amounts due. The clerk was directed to advertise for bids for the construction of Balboa-Palisades culvert, bids to be opened Nov. 9, 1916, at 2 p.m. The clerk was directed to advertise for bids for the improvement of Lemon street, bids to be opened Nov. 9, 1916, at 2 p.m. The maps of First Add to Santa Ana cemetery and Fairhaven cemetery, Lawn "R" were accepted. The bridge across Santiago creek on Santiago boulevard was accepted as completed by Harvey Garber, contractor. Besides more diligence must be practiced if the brought back to life, and the time has yet to yield per acre of good reason why instruction in this state place with increased importance is being the importation to the advantage of consumer. MYSTERY Wages of Kansas service of executive of that of a democratic admissibility hardly possible, since this fact with national policy for Hodges in hisonia. He heard a more thorny republican address Kansas is delivering. Going Hughes supplying but approval Many assumed that was a stalwart re-ful protection of interests in the marHe warned thatade alliances will be the warring nations. Demand of our re-presentation to these prob-logs Hughes could be logical or eloquent constructive policy. Governor Hodges' policy of the demotion at Washington state of his own. What administration doing American commercial inWhile all great nations are taking steps to protect their home markets, President Wilson takes no steps to protect America. He talks of the world being open to American genius, but he falls to mention the fact that the doors of every nation are shut to Americans by trade alliances framed for the benefit of foreigners and against the interests of America. "Not only are American products made to pay extremely high duties, but many others are absolutely prohibited from entry into Great Britain and France. Those nations are not relying solely upon high tariffs. They are protecting their own manufacturers and laborers by excluding American products altogether. "What is America doing to protect itself. Fine words of "world trade" and "serving humanity" do not meet the situation. "The republican party stands for a protective tariff.. It demands the immediate industrial defense of the United States. Charles E. Hughes is the champion of industrial protection. Woodrow Wilson is the champion of a vague, far off "service to humanity" which means opening the American market to the dumpings of cheap labor foreigners. "The best way for Americans to serve humanity is to safeguard the honor and prosperity of the United States. The best man to carry on this work is Charles E. Hughes, backed by the united republican party." So Governor Hodges constitutes the political mystery of the present campaign. We regard him as one of the most logical and convincing speakers in public life; but, honestly, we believe that he has lost his old political moorings. He is a republican today and doesn't know it.
