BIDS FOR PILING RECEIVED BY BOARD Supervisors Turn Them Over to County Surveyor for Consideration Bids were received Tuesday by the supervisors for piles to be placed in the Santa Ana river above Olive, and the bids were referred to the county surveyor until Dec. 8, 1916, at 8 a.m. Bids were received for the improvement of the Brea-Olinda road, and the matter was continued to Dec. 8, at 8 a.m. A resolution was passed relating to the construction of Coast highway, section 1, division 2, and bids were received, and the bid of Lee Garnsey being the lowest bid, to-wit: $16,813.96, said bid was accepted. The petition for the formation of a new judicial township was passed, and said petition granted, and D. L. McCharles was appointed Justice of the ePace of said township for the unexpired term. Demands on the county of Orange were allowed as read. The returns of the special election for trustees of Santiago Storm Water District were canvassed and H. A. Graber, Ed Moore and H. C. Moberly were declared elected trustees. Spraying licenses were ordered issued to Ellarmelier & Schilling, and Frank M. Anderson, and fumigating licensee were ordered issued to Floyd Hadley, A. Streech and J. R. Johnson on recommendation of the horticultural commissioner. The application of the Southern Counties Gas company to construct a gas line across W. Chapman St. bridge was granted. The appointment of Walter Eden as deputy registrar of titles, under the county recorder, was approved and the salary fixed at $100 a month. This stage of the game things were very satisfactory for the Republicans. Finally in the last half of the ninth Democratic party went to bat. First up was California. By this time Hughes, who had been using his curved ball steadily throughout the game, began to weaken. California got a hit, putting her on first. Minnesota came to the bat after California. Vance McCormick, who was sitting in the dug-out with the Democratic club, steps out to Minnesota and whispers something in his ear. As a result, Minnesota bunts the ball. Teddy so anxious to get it, stumbles and falls down, enabling Minnesota to get to first. That put two on bases. At this point of the game the score was nothing to nothing — tie game. This put Hughes in the air. He seemed to lose control. The next pitch was a wild one, advancing California and Minnesota to third and second. Bill Bryan, who was on the coaching line, called Secretary Tumulty from the bench and they had a consultation. The result was they put Woodrow in as a pinch hitter. Woody picked up his "He kept us out of war" bat as he walked to the plate. Hughes called Teddy, who was catching for him, and had a stormy interview with him. It was plain to see that Hughes wanted to walk Woodrow, but Teddy showed his teeth and said, "No, he is too proud to fight. We will strike him out." Hughes tried to slip a slow ball over on Woody; Woody met the ball fairly, knocking a long fly out in right field. Hi Johnson, who was playing right field, fumbled the ball and it rolled out into New Hampshire. Before he could recover the ball, California had dusted the pan and the game was over. Woody had won the pennant. Some game, believe me. Quentin penitentiary Deputy Sheriff Chassta Ana.

The matter of the incorporation of the proposed city of Brea was continued to Dec. 19, 1916, at 2 p.m. It was ordered that C. A. Kingston and J. A. McFadden write $125,000 additional insurance on the money on deposit in the county treasury, according to a sliding scale. The petition of J. J. Stoves, et al, for the county road in Westminster road district, was granted, the deeds ordered recorded and the auditor directed to draw a warrant in favor of Fay Weinscenck, for $120 on the Westminster road district fund, for right of way. The order heretofore made fixing the date of sale of the franchise applied for by the San Diego Consolidated Gas & Electric company was set aside, and the publication ordered discontinued. The clerk was directed to advertise for sale a franchise applied for by the San Diego Consolidated Gas & Electric company, to construct and operate electric lines, said franchise to be sold January 16, 1917, at 11 o'clock, a.m. The petition of Geo. Gothard, et al, to vacate and abandon a public road in Westminster road district, was granted. The petition of W. H.

GASOLINE FROM OIL SHALES In anticipation of the day when, on account of the advancing cost of gasoline and other products obtained from petroleum, it might be found commercially profitable to utilize some of the enormous supply of petroleum to be derived from the distillation of the vast deposits of so-called hydrocarbon shales of the Green ORANGE COUNTY NOTES Orange Gave Liberally: Orange raised nearly a thousand dollars and was the honor donor in the campaign just closed in Southern California for the relief of the German war widows and orphans. In an article summing up the campaign the Los Angeles Express says: "In proportion to population Orange was the largest donor to the fund, the citizens from that city turning in $863.25. P. W. Ehlen gave valuable days of his time to the movement and Editors Hart and Taylor of the News and the Star, gave great space to it. Mayor C. C. Stoner, M. Eltiste and Sherman Gillogly completed the committee." The campaign closed in Los Angeles with a big supper at the Cafe Bristol. The receipts from the photoplay Intolerance were donated to the cause, greatly swelling the fund. Although the lists closed on Friday and the amount above was sent to the Los Angeles headquarters, additional subscriptions have come in since that time, bringing the total up to $936.05. Among the additions was a subscription of $52.05 from Zion's Evangelical church of Santa Ana. High Cost of Living: Since onions and potatoes and beans and some other things that go to make up the daily "banquets" at the county jail have gone skyward in price, the county has found it necessary to either allow more money for meals for prisoners or reduce the quality and quantity. When Sheriff Jackson took charge of the office the county was paying 12 cents per meal. Jackson held a conference with the board of supervisors and a price of 9 cents per meal was agreed upon. Last week, the sheriff presented figures showing the increased cost of feeding the prisoners. THREAD FACTORY Gov. Esteban Cantu is the destinies of Los Angeles who has a clear heart.

The examinations have been accompanied by mapping of the areas of hydrocarbon shales and by such field measurements of the thickness of the shales in workable beds and such rude field distillation tests as will afford primary information concerning the amount and richness of the shales in different parts of the region. Very rough but cautious calculations of the contents of the shale in parts of the area examined indicate that the distillation of shale from beds over 3 feet thick in Colorado alone will yield more than 20,000,000 barrels of crude oil, from which more than 2,000,000 barrels of gasoline can be extracted by ordinary methods. IT WAS SOME GAME Here's the way a professional ball player describes the recent election: The Republican party called out every available pitcher to warm up before the game. Hughes' curved ball was breaking fine; Teddy Roosevelt was put in to catch for him. The game was started. Hughes first struck out New York, then Indiana, then Pennsylvania, then Illinois, then Massachusetts, then New Jersey. At the county jail have gone skyward in price, the county has found it necessary to either allow more money for meals for prisoners or reduce the quality and quantity. When Sheriff Jackson took charge of the office the county was paying 12 cents per meal. Jackson held a conference with the board of supervisors and a price of 9 cents per meal was agreed upon. Last week the sheriff presented figures showing the increased cost of feeding the prisoners, and an agreement was reached whereby the pay will be 11½ cents per meal. Eight Suits are Filed:— Wilfred Gysel, of Buena Park, is the latest purchaser of Delta Land and Water company land and irrigation stock in Utah to bring action against the company. Gysel has filed a suit in the Orange county courts through Attorney Roger C. Dutton of Anaheim, for the recission of his contract with the concern and also asks for the cancellation of promissory notes and the annulment of trust deeds given as security for payment. Gysel purchased 80 acres of land and 80 shares of the canal stock. He gave two notes for an aggregate of $6200 and deposited the 80 shares of canal stock and a mortgage on the land to pay for his purchase. He now asks that all of these transactions be wiped out. This is the eighth action of this character filed in the Orange county courts. The others were transferred to the federal courts last week upon application of attorneys for the Delta company. Door Finally Opened:— "I've knocked at the door of this place and others of its kind several times and they wouldn't let me in, but here I am at last," said George Bowen, pickpocket, upon his arrival at San Francisco.

A moderate annual ANAHEIM GAZETTE—THURSDAY, Dec. 14 Quentin penitentiary in company with Deputy Sheriff Chas. Maxwell of Santa Ana. Orange county authorities contended during Bowen's stay in Santa Ana that he was one of the cleverest criminals ever in their charge, but nothing of the man's past record could be learned other than that he had been arrested in several coast cities as a suspicious character. They were sure at all times he was a member of an organized gang of pickpockets, but were never able to fix any crime on him outside of the part he had in picking the pocket of Patrolman Peck, of Los Angeles, at Seal Beach, last summer. It was for his part in this affair that Bowen was sentenced to San Quentin for a term of four years. Newport's Glass Factory: Another step in the efforts to reopen the Newport Beach Glass Factory has just been completed by Messrs. C. E. Norton and J. A. Branagan, of Los Angeles, the men promoting the plan, and the outlook for having the plant running again looks mighty good. The charter for the new company has just been secured from the state board of control, and, according to the promoters, the most strenuous work has been accomplished and the big obstacles in their path have been brushed aside. While no definite date can be given at this time, it is practically assured that the plant will soon be running to full capacity. Both of the above mentioned men have complete confidence in the success of their plans and know the glass business from A to Z, and with nearly all glassware worth in price double what it was when the plant was operating before, it seems that success should be assured. The finished product of the factory will consist of shades, tumblers, street globes, lamp DELINQUENT TAX LIST In And For The CITY OF ANAHEIM, COUNTY OF ORANGE, STATE OF CALIFORNIA, FOR THE FISCAL YEAR, 1916-1917.

Esteban Cantu, who controls the destinies of Lower Caalifornia, seems to be the one man in Mexico who has a clear head and a human heart. While the other people of that republic are cutting one another's throats, Gov. Cantu is pursuing the paths of peace and blessing his country with peaceful development bringing prosperity for the people. It is reported that he has granted a concession to eastern capitalists to establish a thread factory at Mexicali. Mexicali is in the center of a great cotton growing country, and the fiber will be used in the thread factory to turn out a product in great demand all over the country. Simultaneous with this news comes an announcement that the Governor has ordered a great cleaning up morally and physically in Mexicali. FOREST BUSINESS EXPANDING National forest administration last year was characterized, according to Henry S. Graves, Chief of the forest service, in his annual report, which has just been published, by an increase of more than $340,000 in receipts, which totaled over $2,800,00, by rapid progress in land classification, by a material advance in development work in which road building is one of the largest factors and by relatively small losses from forest fires. The receipts from timber were over $1,400,000, a 20 per cent incerase, while grazing receipts were $1,200,00, and water power rentals brought in $100,000. "At present," says Mr. Graves, "the receipts from the national forests are approximately three fourths of what it costs to protect them and carry on the current business. In addition have been introduced. While some adjustments of grazing charges have taken place, there has been no general advance in the rates. Instances are quoted which show that grazing fees o nprivate or Indian lands adjacent to the notional forests are much higher than those charged by the government for national forest range. On one forest in California, it is stated, 35 cents per head was paid for grazing sheep on private land, while a charge of only 7¼ cents per head was made on nearby forest lands. In the same place the rate on cattle was $3 on Indian land, as against 54 cents on the national forest. The present demand for grazing privileges on a majority of the national forest, says the report, far exceeds the carrying capacity, and the demand is on the increase. Under these conditions the stockmen using the national forest ranges are enjoying special privileges over those who must pay for range on a competitive basis or do without. It is an established principle of the forest administration that the man who is accorded the privilege of exclusive use of land or material for a commercial profit shall pay the public in proportion to the value of what he receives. It has become plain that increase of the benefits derived by stockmen from national forest administration without a commensurate increase in the charge for the grazing privilege has created a situation which calls for readjustment. Before final action is taken an opportunity will be given for all parties interested to be heard. STATE OF CALIFORNIA COUNTY OF ORANGE CITY OF ANAHEIM Public notice is hereby given that default having been made in the payment of taxes due the City of Anaheim for the fiscal year 1916-1917 upon the property hereinbefore described.

The receipts from timber were over $1,400,000, a 20 per cent incerase, while grazing receipts were $1,200,000, and water power rentals brought in $100,000. "At present," says Mr. Graves, "the receipts from the national forests are approximately three fourths of what it costs to protect them and carry on the current business. In addition to this cost, however, there are expenses which are primarily in the nature of investments." Roads and other improvements, reforestation of denuded lands, and classification and survey work are examples. All expenses connected with the national forests, including these investment expenses as well as the cost of operation approximate $5,275,000. The business on the forests, Mr. Graves states, is on a thoroughly sound basis. An efficient organization has been built up to handle the work of protection of the forests and of developing the resources. The rapidly increasing use of forest products points not only to constantly greater service to the public, but also to increased financial returns. A steady increase in the returns from the national forests is expected by the chief forester. In spite of the unstable and unhealthy condition of the lumber market a steady and increasing local demand for forest timber is created by the upbuilding of the country. This demand will be constantly growing even though sales for the general market will fluctuate with the prevailing business conditions. The returns from grazing will increase as more stock uses the forests, in consequence of range improvement and the development of new range, it is stated. A moderate annual increase for three years in the grazing fee is contemplated which if put into operation will eventually bring the grazing receipts to more than $2,000,000 a year, as compared with approximately $1,200,000 in the fiscal year 1916. It is pointed out that when regulation of grazing on the forests began a low scale of charges was adopted. During the last ten years the value of the forage to the stockmen has materially increased because of the improved methods of handling the stock which In devising means to protect fruit crops from frost, it is important to keep in mind that with a given pressure the frost point is higher than the dew point, which runs parallel with the air temperature from midnight to 6 o'clock a.m. The surface temperature falls more rapidly than that of the overlying air, and may be below the dew point, while the overlying air is above it. This shows us that our main effort in warming the air must be directed to the ground to be effective. In fact the warmth should preferably arise from the very ground surface, on some principle that draws the surface air through a receptacle and heats it. It has been shown that dew begins to form with a humidity of 90 per cent, is greater at 95 per cent, and turns to fog at 99. During the last half of the night the fall of temperature is relatively less with the formation of dew and frost than with dry air, but to heat set free by condensation. This points to the value of moist warmth instead of dry, and confirms the observations which have been the basis for the belief that irrigation is to some extent a safeguard against frost damage.
