CONSERVATION DEMANDED BY SPEAKER GEORGE H. MAXWELL TALKS TO LOS ANGELES CLUB ON VITAL SUBJECT FAVORS THE NEWLAND-BROUSSARD BILL FOR CONTROL OF FLOOD WATERS George H. Maxwell, executive director of the National Reclamation association, addressed the City Club of Los Angeles Saturday, his subject being "Awake, Southern California, and Stop the Waste of its Greatest Asset." His speech was in favor of the Newland-Broussard river regulation bill now pending in congress. He said in part: "The Laguna dam and Colorado river siphon, the Roosevelt dam and the Granite Reef dam in the Salt River valley, the Elephant Butte dam on the Rio Grande above El Paso, the Lahontan dam in Nevada, the Pathfinder dam, the Shoshone dam and other great structures built in the last 15 years by the United States reclamation service would never have been built if it had not been for the vigorous campaign conducted by the merchants of Los Angeles preceding the passage of the irrigation act in 1902. "But all these efforts would have gone for naught, and the pork barrel Smith and who said he represented a firm of Los Angeles pump dealers. He refused to tell anything about his relatives for fear they would feel disgraced if they knew of his trouble. Mann said he had been offered a job on the Farnsworth ranch. Judge Thomas halted court long enough to use the telephone to find out if what Mann said was true. It was true. Sentence was to San Quentin for five years. Commitment was withheld." WILLIAM SCHUMACHER DIES AT FULLERTON Old Time Resident Succumbs to Stomach Trouble Wednesday William Schumacher, one of the best known men of this region, and one of its old time residents, died at his home at Fullerton Wednesday. He had suffered for some time with stomach trouble, and an autopsy showed that he was afflicted with cancer of the stomach. He was 69 years of age and leaves a wife and eight grown children. Mr. Schumacher was a brother of Captain Victor Schumacher and P. A. Schumacher, both of Fullerton. He came to this region thirty years ago. He was a veteran of the civil war, one of the youngest men in the service, having joined the army when only a lad thirteen or fourteen years of age. He was born in Prussia, coming to this country with his parents when a child. The funeral was held at Fullerton Friday. ANAHEIM AUTO DRIVER KILLS ONTARIO MAN Witnesses Declare He was not to Blame for Accident Rio Grande above El Paso, the Lahontan dam in Nevada, the Pathfinder dam, the Shoshone dam and other great structures built in the last 15 years by the United States reclamation service would never have been built if it had not been for the vigorous campaign conducted by the merchants of Los Angeles preceding the passage of the irrigation act in 1902. "But all these efforts would have gone for naught, and the pork barrel plunderbund in congress would have prevailed, had it not been for the fact that the West finally decided to show its teeth, and to do something more than beg for what was right. Senator Tom Carter of Montana talked the river and harbor bill to death in 1901. In the next session, the pork harrelites conceded the passage of the United States reclamation act if the western irrigationists would 'get off their river and harbor bill'." Mr. Maxwell strongly arraigned the present system of river and harbor improvements and urged the importance of throwing all possible strength to Senator Newlands in his fight at this session of congress to prevent the passage of the house flood control bill unless his general plan is embodied in it and $1,000,000 is appropriated for constructive work. In the course of his address Mr. Maxwell said: "To say that the West is getting its share when it gets the appropriation for the Sacramento river is to say that the West should sell its birthright for a mess of pottage. The Sacramento flood control project is really two projects, one for widening the mouth of the Sacramento, which is meritorious from every point of view; the other a project to force the flood waters out of the 'trough' where they have run for ages and reclaim those lands for the benefit of what is known as the Armour syndicate of land speculators. The needs of Southern California for the cooperation of the national government to check the floods on its mountain watersheds is a great deal more urgent than the needs of the land speculators of the Sacramento valley to make a profit out of shoving the floods out of their natural wasteways and sell those natural wasteways to farmers as a profitable land speculation. "History repeats itself and the time has again come when the West must show its teeth and overcome the same iniquitous and unpatriotic influences that opposed the Newlands national ANAHEIM AUTO DRIVER KILLS ONTARIO MAN Witnesses Declare He was not to Blame for Accident E. Waterhouse Thomas, retired farmer, recently coming to Ontario from Tennessee, was almost instantly killed at noon Thursday when struck by an automobile driven by 15-year-old Charles Rhodes of Anaheim. Thomas was rushed to the San Antonio hospital, where he died almost immediately without regaining consciousness. Thomas was crossing Cherry avenue Ontario on foot as young Rhodes, who was accompanied by his step-father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Hemphill, was turning into a street, and, according to Hemphill, jumped back in front of the car after he was half-way across the street. The tragedy was witnessed by Mrs. Mary Briasin, as she sat on her porch. Thomas, who was 65, is survived by a widow residing at Ontario and several grown children. Young Rhodes and his parents were allowed their freedom upon their promise to be present at the inquest. TO SHOOT OVER THE EARTH'S EDGE Curvature of the earth has been the insuperable barrier to the long range naval gun fire. An instrument that would overcome this obstruction and enable a gun to be precisely aimed to the limit of its power to project a shell would be something of incalculable value to any nation possessing it. This is the secret claim of the United States experts, and is supposed to be the invention of a naval officer. Five ships in New York harbor are said to be undergoing equipment with this new rangefinder. It is claimed that it will enable a gun to be fired accurately at the range of 20 miles at the small target, and in fact to the limit of the projection possibilities of the gun. The new rangefinder overcomes the curvature of the earth and the gunner can plant his shell infallibly upon the spot irrespective of this old obstruction.

"History repeats itself and the time has again come when the West must show its teeth and overcome the same iniquitous and unpatriotic influences that opposed the Newlands national irrigation bill in 1902, and which are now delaying the establishment of the new and comprehensive policy for which Senator Newlands has been consistently contending for more than ten years and which has been embodied in the great constructive measure known as the Newlands-Broussard river regulation bill. "That bill covers the entire United States and benefits every locality. It coordinates all the different departments of the nation dealing with the subject of waterways and flood prevention and control and reclamation by either drainage or irrigation and provides for cooperation with the states, municipalities, districts and all local agencies to secure the construction of all works necessary to save for beneficial use every drop of water that now runs to waste." Before Mr. Maxwell spoke, there was a sharp ten-minute debate as to whether, in case the proposed county flood-control bonds carry, the 6000 or more persons who will be employed in the flood protection work should be under the county civil service commission. There was considerable difference of opinion. James Mann, convicted of passing two forged checks at Anaheim, was given probation by Judge Thomas Saturday. Mann held out to the last that he was not guilty of forgery. He said that he secured the checks from a man who gave his name as Frank Five ships in New York harbor are said to be undergoing equipment with this new rangefinder.

The new rangefinder overcomes the curvature of the earth and the gunner can plant his shell infallibly upon the spot irrespective of this old obstruction. The United States is in possession of a secret of gun fire that promises to place this country in the lead of the maritime nations, despite the fact that it does not have the greatest number of ships. SHIPMENT OF KUMQUATS CONFISCATED BY OFFICER Suspected of Being Infected With the Citrus Canker A souvenir shipment of kumquats from Mobile, Alabama, consigned to a resident of Villa Park, was taken from the mail and confiscated by Deputy Inspector E. H. Paddock Saturday on suspicion of being infected with the deadly citrus pest, citrus canker. A state quarantine against all citrus fruits from the section where canker has been known to exist is now in operation, and under that quarantine ruling, Mr. Paddock took charge of the kumquats, a species of citrus fruit. He was uncertain as to the actual presence of the canker, but sent the kumquats to San Francisco for inspection by Frederick Maskew, the chief of the bureau. The fruit was shipped in a souvenir box from Mobile as an advertisement of the products of that section. The canker disease has proven so disastrous to citrus trees in the South that California fruit inspectors are alert to prevent any of it entering this state. UNEARTH RELIC OF HISTORIC VALUE WORKMEN EXCAVATING FOR A BASEMENT OF BUILDING FIND DAGGER 280 YEAS OLD SUPPOSED TO HAVE BELONGED TO SPANISH EXPLORER, SKULL WAS PREVIOUSLY FOUND In the northwest corner of the excavation under the new Mitchell building at Los Angeles and Center streets beneath a tree that was uprooted because it interfered with the march of progress, there was unearthed last week a dagger which, if the inscriptions on its handle are authentic, annotated any existing records of this country. It is an ivory or bone handled knife, with a blade nearly a foot long. The inscriptions on the two sides of the handle read: "J. Sespez, La Paz, 1647." There are also seven notches filed in the handle, which is interpreted by people who are supposed to know, to mean that seven persons have fallen victims to that knife. There was also exhumed in this same corner some time ago a human skull, and it doesn't require a Sherlock Holmes, to deduce that the original owner of the skull was also the owner of the dagger. THE NEW GRAND Next Sunday, matinee and night; February 4, "My Official Wife," the de luxe edition of the Vitagraph feature, with Clara Kimball Young, Earle Williams and Harrey Morey, which is the attraction at the New Grand, one day only, received excellent criticisms from every publication which reviewed it, and can safely be heralded as the particular production which offered Miss Young the most remarkable role of her career. Her characterization of the Russian peasant girl who becomes a bitter Nihilist when her parents are killed in cold blood before her very eyes is an example of film artistry. As the story goes on we find her using her womanly charm and magnetism, luring on the Russian noblemen and finally throwing them aside when they have served her purpose. The role is wonderfully suited to her capabilities. The scenes of Russia are authentic to the minutest detail. The views of the peasant house lend no small amount of atmosphere with their great earthen ovens and upper beds of straw. As a general rule the furnishings are very sparse consisting very often of a rough wooden table, a long bench and one or two chairs. Pictures of a religious nature find their place on the stone walls while one or two prints of the King and Queen are sometimes found. The people's costume fits this background admirably and adds the color and life to the scene. Then, too, the flashes of the life of the exiles on the way to Siberia arouse indignation on the part of the audience. The long single file line of FAVORS SIGNING CONTRACT WITH EDISON COMPANY Continued from page one trustees at their next regular meeting. The following communication was received from W. A. Mattox, representing the Western Gas Engine company, and is also of keen interest at this time: Los Angeles, California. January 24, 1917. City Clerk, Anaheim, Calif. Dear Sir: We take this opportunity to thank the Board of Trustees for their courteous treatment to the writer while before you presenting and suggesting that it would pay for your City to manufacture their own electric energy. We feel that your City has been saved something like $1000.00 a year by bringing this subject up and had you have gotten bids and guarantees, as suggested, you would then undoubtedly have seen that you could have saved much more. We cannot yet see why any City or individual should pay a Corporation for that which they could do themselves for at least one-third less and be independent. Again thanking you, we are, Yours very truly, Western Gas Engine Corporation, By W. A. MATTOX. The finance committee reported auditing bills to the amount of $820, for which warrants were ordered drawn. A communication was received from Chas. G. Hoblet, asking for refund of $15 paid to the city for a peddler's license. After the issuance of the license he became entangled in a no-fund check proposition and had been The hobo camp at Fullerton is no more. Thus say the Fullerton officers, Marshal French and Deputy Sheriff Murillo. But the same camp was destroyed several times during the last year and has always been resided of the handle read: "J. Sespez, La Paz, 1647." There are also seven notches filed in the handle, which is interpreted by people who are supposed to know, to mean that seven persons have fallen victims to that knife. There was also exhumed in this same corner some time ago a human skull, and it doesn't require a Sherlock Holmes, to deduce that the original owner of the skull was also the owner of the dagger. The first authentic history we have of this region starts with the year 1769, when Father Junipero Serra and his faithful band left their first footprints on the sands of Anaheim. The inscription on that knife, if we are to take it as evidence, was carved 122 years before that time. Of course the owner may have met his death years after the date was carved. Most probably he dated it when it first came into his possession, and he must have carried it for some time, judging from the seven notches indicating that seven persons had been killed by it. Whether these victims were aborigines who owned and controlled this country at that time, or Spaniards, is another question that will never be answered. La Paz, which is situated at the Southern extremity of Lower California, is one of the oldest Spanish settlements on the Pacific coast. It is known that adventurous bands of Spaniards issued from that town in the early days and went forth on exploring expeditions. J. Sespez was probably a member of one of these pathfinding gangs, but the question of whether he died by violence or passed away peacefully and was buried by his comrades one hundred feet from the trail, which became El Camino Real in the days of the padres, and is now Los Angeles street, is one of the unexplanable mysteries. There is little doubt that the pioneer who owned that knife met his death on this spot at least a century before this nation was born, also a century before the Franciscan fathers inaugurated the campaign for the civilization and Christianization of the aborigines on the Pacific coast. Western Gas Engine Corporation, By W. A. MATTOX. The finance committee reported auditing bills to the amount of $820, for which warrants were ordered drawn. A communication was received from Chas. G. Hoblet, asking for refund of $15 paid to the city for a peddler's license. After the issuance of the license he became entangled in a non-fund check proposition and had been arrested by the marshal and sent to the county jail. Recently he had been acquitted of the charge in the superior court. Claiming that he had been illegally detained by the city officers he now asked for refund of the $15 license. The communication was filed. A communication was received from Secretary Tausch of the fire company stating that Elmer Goodrich had been reelected chief of the department. The appointment of Mr. Goodrich was ratified by the board. A communication was received from W. A. Alexander, of the Union Brewing company asking for transfer of their license uptown to their place of business on West Broadway. The request was granted. The wholesale liquor establishment which has been conducted in the Fisher block will therefore be discontinued. Upon motion of Trustee Cook and carried all street lights, excepting those in the downtown business section, will be extinguished at 12 o'clock, midnight. Heretofore these lights have been kept burning all night, and they will be shut off, as stated by the board, from an economical viewpoint. It was ordered that 350 young orange trees be purchased by the city, the same to be planted upon the sewer farm tract. Trustee Cook was appointed a committee to buy the trees, which can be bought for about 50 cents apiece. Plans and specifications submitted by Engineer Adams, for a new fire pump, to be installed at the plant, were read and approved. The new pump will be of 125 pounds capacity and will produce from 1700 to 2000 gallons of water per minute. The new pump is considered a necessity owing to the growth of the city and the needs of the fire department. the best thrashing a boy ever had when the two young Romeos met at arm's length in a fight over the girl whom Phillips married. As they grew manhood these old crones stuck to Hobos Move On:— The hobo camp at Fullerton is no more. Thus say the Fullerton officers, Marshal French and Deputy Sheriff Murillo. But the same camp was destroyed several times during the last year and has always been re-established soon after its destruction by the guardians of the peace. East of the depot, and not far from the "Y" made by the branching of the railroad tracks from the Santa Fe main line, to the Richfield division, is a spot considered favorable for "Jungletown" by the only class of tourists the county doesn't cater to. They have maintained camps there for many years, and during the past few seasons, it has been a constant source of worry to the officers. On Wednesday evening the Marshal was informed that another band had located on the spot, and was requested to move them. French and Murillo found thirteen men seated around a fire they had built, preparing "mulligan" and sleeping. None of the men offered any resistance when told to move on. They stated that the majority were on their way to San Diego. None carried any weapons. Almost all of the men were young, but one of them gave his age as 62, and said that he did not know just where he was going. The rest of the gathering were expecting to find work in the kelp industry, they told the officers. Dr. M. M. Henderson, Dentist, Suite 1, Mullinix Bldg., Anaheim. C. B.

John Tremalne, the hero, is robbed by his own brother of a sum of money which has been entrusted to him. The brother, David, also wins the girl John loves. Broken hearted, John leaves his home, remaining away seven years and then returns to find that his brother is dead and that his mother suspects John of having stolen the money. These are heavy burdens for one man to bear in silence. John not only does all of this, but he helps David's widow, and his conduct is so straightforward and honorable that he wins the love and respect of his neighbors and—another girl. The neighbors call John "Big Tremalne," and that is just what he is—a big man whose spirit cannot be crushed by adversity. "God's Crucible" is on the screen Friday and Saturday. It is a gripping story. Lorenzo Todd was rated as the meanest old 'grouch' in the community. He never had a kind word for anyone, aside from his son, Warren; the girl his boy was betrothed to (Virginia Phillips), and his boyhood friend, Dudley Phillips. Those who had a good memory declared that Todd liked Phillips because when they were young Phillips had given Todd that "Civilization," was conceived and produced for the sole purpose of terminating the great war now raging in Europe.

Knight of Yorba Linda, one of the best posted men in this region on the avocado, gives the following rules for its cultivation: Soil—loam, clay, adobe or almost any soil will grow avocados if it has drainage, and does not become waterlogged nor sour. If planting in very light soil, care must be taken to thoroughly soak the ball at each irrigation. Hole—If ground is naturally porus there is no need of a very large hole. About two feet by three in diameter is all that is required. The more compact the soil, the greater need for a large hole. Care must be taken in non-porous soils that the hole does not act as a container for excess water and drown the tree. Never use dynamite to make holes in clay, adobe or loam as it compresses the soil below and around the sides making entrance of feeder roots much more difficult. Planting—Leave the sacking and string as you find them on the tree. The tree is not a handle to the ball. Move and place tree by taking hold of the ball. Place enough loose dirt in the hole so that the tree will be from one to two inches deeper than in the nursery. Fill in with loose dirt and removing shade wrap trunk of tree with some stiff paper, not too tight, leave room for air. Irrigation—Keep damp not wet. Irrigate two or three times a week for the first two weeks, then once a week until danger of hot spells are past, after that once in ten days. The amount of water used at each irrigation to be controlled by the nature of the soil. For the first two years it is best to use a basin around the tree. It is better to irrigate often using little water than to use an excess of water at longer periods. Staking—If you wish an upright tree you must stake against the winds for a couple of years. Never place the stake so that any branch can rub against it. Use a rope to tie with, wrapping the part that goes around the tree with some soft cloth. Fertilizing—If your soil is good do not be in a hurry to use fertilizer. After the tree has started to grow, a little may help, but do not over do it. If you force a rank growth of wood the tree will probably be later in fruiting. The second year fertilize a little heavier. When fruiting more fertilizer will be required. Cultivation—Do not cultivate the soil other than to keep the weeds down. The feeder roots of the avocado are from four to twelve inches below the surface, the root does not grow after the laterals start. Plowing, prunes the roots and if the loose soil becomes saturated with water the tree is liable to blow ofer.
