ASK PERMIT FOR STORM WATER DISTRICTS BUENA PARK-CYPRESS AND GARDEN GROVE PEOPLE REFUSE TO LAY DOWN SUPERVISORS PAY THE CHICAGO BONDING & SURETY CO. $808.05 FOR COMPLETION OF OLIVE BRIDGE Petitions for two new storm water districts were presented to the board of supervisors last week. One is to be known as the Garden Grove Storm Water District and the other the Buena Park-Cypress Storm Water District. In order to give time for further consideration of the situation as developed recently, the board of supervisors took no action upon either petition but postponed further consideration to February 17. The Garden Grove petition was presented by J. C. Mitchell, W. W. Manor, W. W. Dungan and A. W. Black, with ninety signatures. The territory is but a part of what was the United Storm Water District, recently knocked out in the courts. It comprises broadly the section touched by the overflow in 1916 from the Santa Ana river on the west side just below the Olive-Anaheim bridge. The Buena Park-Cypress district as proposed joins the Orangethorpe Storm Water District organized last year. The petition was presented by company to lay a pipe line along the west side of Carolina street was granted. The clerk was directed to advertise two motors, bids to be opened March 7, 1917, at 11 a.m. ATTEMPT TO BREAK WILL OF FORMER ANAHEIMER Relatives of John A. Bullard Declare He was of Unsound Mind Suit has been brought in the court of Middlesex county, Mass., to break the will of John A. Bullard, a former resident of Anaheim, who died at the age of 92, leaving an estate valued at $1,500,000. It was charged by the contestants that Mr. Bullard was of unsound mind, and in support of this charge it was alleged that the wore a heavy overcoat in midsummer, gathered scrap iron in the street, slept on a bed made of two barrels and a board, and used candles instead of electric lights. A further charge contained in the petition was that Mr. Bullard was influenced by Dr. James H. Bullard of Los Angeles. Dr. Bullard characterizes the charges as ridiculous. When Mr. Bullard lived here he was known to be eccentric, but nobody considered him insane. SUPERVISORS ENDORSE COAST BOULEVARD PLAN Finley Wanted to Include County Engineer Bill in Resolution The board of supervisors adopted a resolution endorsing the bill before the legislature appropriating $500,000 for the proposed coast boulevard through Ventura, Los Angeles and Orange counties, the proposition being that the three counties shall provide an equal sum.

The county auditor was directed to draw a warrant for $250 on the advertising fund in favor of M. H. Flint to advertise Orange county at the National Orange show. A resolution was adopted endorsing the passage of Senate Bill No. 71 appropriating $500,000 for the purpose of constructing a state highway from Ventura county to San Juan-by-the-Sea, Supervisor Finley voting "no." Lemon street was ordered paved four feet wider than specified in the contract, to be paid for by subscription. The appointment of Mrs. S. E. Hutchins as superintendent of the Detention Home at a salary of $50 a month, was confirmed, and the appointments of Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Antone as assistants, was confirmed, and their combined salary fixed at $50 per month. The deed of conveyance made by the Southern California exposition to the board of park commissioners of the city of San Diego, was confirmed. The hearing of the petitions of Jas. B. Stephenson, et al., to vacate streets in El Toro road district, was set for March 7, at 10 a.m. The Bicycle Dealers' association was given permission to hold a bicycle race over certain county roads, provided the race course is properly guarded by the association. COAST BOULEVARD PLAN Finley Wanted to Include County Engineer Bill in Resolution The board of supervisors adopted a resolution endorsing the bill before the legislature appropriating $500,000 for the proposed coast boulevard through Ventura, Los Angeles and Orange counties, the proposition being that the three counties shall provide an equal sum. Supervisor Finley offered an addition to the resolution. His addition was for an endorsement of the bill allowing a county to put its highways under one department with an engineer at its head. Supervisor Talbert said he could not see that the two measures had anything to do with each other. Finley said that he believed the county would be asked to spend not less than $150,000 in the fifty-fifty plan for the use of the proposed state appropriation, and he believed the county could save money by changing its road work system, in time saves enough to meet the county's share. Finley's amendment got no second. The motion to pass the resolution endorsing the $500,000 appropriation bill was carried by the votes of all supervisors excepting Finley, who said he did not want to vote to obligate the county to spend the money for the state highway while the system of carving for county roads is as it is now. Other supervisors said that the making of the appropriation by the state did not obligate the county to accept the fifty-fifty proposition, but made it possible to take it up if the county saw fit. INCREASED IN NATIONAL FOREST GRAZING FEES ANNOUNCED An increase of 25 per cent in the grazing fees on all national forests, instead of 33 1/3 per cent as was originally contemplated, will be made for the season of 1917, according to the plan announced by Secretary Houston. Subsequent increases will be based on a study of the local conditions on the individual forests and will vary in accordance with the facts thus obtained. "The timber, grazing, water power and other resources of the national forests which are used for commercial purposes should be charged for at a rate which represents their fair value", said Secretary Houston. "If a charge only sufficient to cover the cost of ad- The deed of conveyance made by the Southern California exposition to the board of park commissioners of the city of San Diego, was confirmed.

The charge for grazing should be based upon the real value of the forage on the national forest ranges, as determined by a careful survey of all the facts and not by competitive bids, as required in timber sales. "Whether or not the fees charged at present represent a fair value of the forage is the question to be decided. The facts before me clearly indicate that the present charge does not represent the full value of grazing privileges on the national forests." Modification of the original plan was decided upon, the secretary said, because of the possibility of a variation in the real value of grazing on different forests or in different localities, and because in a few instances the full proposed increase might not be justified. A specific study, he stated, will be made of the existing conditions upon each of the national forests. Upon the basis of the facts thus obtained, additional increases will be made when the real value of the forage upon any forest is found to be more than the amount charged. No additional increase will be made before March 1, 1918. STATE HIGHWAY WORK MAY BE HELD UP All Repair Work in the County was Completed Last Week With material on the ground for the shoulders on the state highway from Tustin south to Irvine, the work may not be done this year at all. It will depend entirely on whether the United States breaks into war. C. F. Spellmeyer, resident engineer, and in charge of building operations in the county for the past two and a half years, completed all re- force of gravity; about the magnet theory he maintains a significant silence. Altogether, he has probably needed all the will power of a veteran army engineer to keep his dreads persistently gnawing away at the foot of the treacherous material as it intrudes into his canal, in a great confidence that some time the mass will come to a permanent rest. GREAT PREPARATIONS FOR ORANGE DAY Will Surpass All Previous Efforts, It Is Claimed March 10 is California Orange Day. The committee is endeavoring to make this the most successful Orange Day ever held. Secretary Warren McIntire has recently issued a statement in which he says: "The orange crop this year will bring more than $50,000,000 into California. This about offsets the automobile trade which last year took away more than $40,000,000 from Southern California alone, and sent that vast sum to Detroit and other eastern cities. "Thirty railroads are helping us tremendously; express companies, through their agents, are working with and for us in every community, even to the extent of placarding their wagons in every city with our "paper." Every hotel of any size in the United States and Canada will feature the California orange on its day. The moving picture companies are doing some wonderful stunts to advertise the day. Women's clubs are almost startling us with the plans they are developing in every part of the country. Eastern newspapers have promised us a great total of publicity. Mayors of thirty eastern cities have already announced their intention of issuing proclamations in behalf of the day.

ANAHEIM, CAL. With material on the ground for the shoulders on the state highway from Tustin south to Irvine, the work may not be done this year at all. It will depend entirely on whether the United States breaks into war. C. F. Spellmeyer, resident engineer, and in charge of building operations in the county for the past two and a half years, completed all repair work on the highway last week. There will be nothing more for him to do unless he can secure an appropriation from the highway commission for the building of a mile of pavement on the coast road. He hopes to get this through, and if successful building of the uncompleted section just below Capistrano will start early next month. At the time of the building of the road to San Diego a gap of a mile at Serra had to be passed because of the condition of the roadbed. Fills were not packed sufficiently to permit the pavement being put down. Material for shoulders on the highway between Tustin and Irvine is now stored at Tustin and Irvine. Money for the work will not be available until after the first of next July, although it has been generally understood that the commission would provide for the shoulders the first of the year. If war should come, it is believed difficulty would be experienced in placing road bonds, and in that event, the shoulder work will be still further delayed. If an appropriation is not secured for the mile of pavement at Serra, it is probable that Spellmeyer will be transferred temporarily to Ventura county, where there are several small gaps in the state road. FICTITIOUS TALES ABOUT PANAMA CANAL SLIDES One English Paper Says Government Will Dig a New Ditch Panamal canal slides have tried the patience of Governor Goethals in more ways than one, remarks Nation's Business. Between great masses of earth slipping with insidious momentum into the waterway and people who have offered gratuitous advice he has had his troubles. A solemn English report declared the bottom of the canal for nine miles Every hotel of any size in the United States and Canada will feature the California orange on its day.

"In fact we have cordial and valuable support everywhere, and this California Orange Day will greatly surpass in its scope those of the past, even though former days were so materially successful in clearing up glutted markets and raising and stabilizing prices. ORANGE COUNTY DOCTORS DENOUNCE BIRTH CONTROL Also Oppose Publication of Their Names in Newspapers At the regular monthly meeting of the Orange County Medical Association held at Santa Ana last week Resolutions against the amendment or elimination of Section 317 of the Penal Code were adopted. The section has to do with birth control and Los Angeles club women recently went on record as favoring the repeal of the section. Birth control was discussed fully by the medicos and strong talks were made against the repeal of Section No. 317, which makes it a felony for anyone to offer his services or advertise medicine preventing reproduction. The resolution follows: "Whereas, a persistent effort is being made by certain persons in this state to procure the repeal of Section 317, Penal Code of California, relative to the procuring of or performing criminal abortions, etc.; and be it therefore, "Resolved, first that it is the opinion of the Orange County Medical Association that such action would remove a necessary check to criminal practices, not only on the part of the laity, but of many unscrupulous members of our profession; second, that our representatives in the state legislature, viz: Hon. S. C. Evans, Senator, and Joe C. Burke, Assemblyman, be and are hereby requested to oppose the repeal of the above named section of the code and to do all in their power to prevent an action so..." Panamal canal slides have tried the patience of Governor Goethals in more ways than one, remarks Nation's Business. Between great masses of earth slipping with insidious momentum into the waterway and people who have offered gratuitous advice he has had his troubles. A solemn English report declared the bottom of the canal for nine miles is a hugh bog of so hopeless a nature that the American government is contemplating digging another canal—of course, on the Nicaragua route; the fact is, the nine miles in question were excavated in rock. One American geologist said that, so far as material to be excavated is concerned, Culebra Cut would have to be done over again. Other people have suggested that the slides be given an asphalt roof to keep out the rain or reduced to subjection in wire netting, that rather considerable hills be dried out with steam and so forth. About the origin of slides there has been the same interesting diversity of expression. One man suggests a huge reservoir of water within the earth, which by its pressure starts things to moving. Another has imagined subterranean gas trying to escape. A third has declared that the masses of material on opposite sides of the canal have an irresistible attraction for each other. And a fourth undertakes to prove that the canal severed a huge natural magnet within the earth and set up magnetic disturbances which have played smash. With some show of heat the governor or protests that no waters have gushed forth, that there has been not a sign of bubbling gases, and that the hills about the canal have not defied the lion of the Orange County Medical Association that such action would remove a necessary check to criminal practices, not only on the part of the laity, but of many unscrupulous members of our profession; second, that our representatives in the state legislature, viz: Hon. S. C. Evans, Senator, and Joe C. Burke, Assemblyman, be and are hereby requested to oppose the repeal of the above named section of the code and to do all in their power to prevent an action so inimical to the public welfare." The medicos again took up the matter of the publicity of names of physicians in connections with stories published by the newspapers in the county. The physicians are sources of news information to newspaper men. They object, however, to the use of their names in stories where information is obtained from them, and they have put their foot down on publicity. Hereafter members of the organization whose names appear in teh publication of stories in the newspapers of the county will be called on the carpet and made to explain how it occurred. If newspapermen continue to print the names of physicians called in cases of accident, etc., the medicos will adopt the policy of withholding information. IDEAL CITIZENSHIP Hon. Joseph Scott of Los Angeles will deliver his famous lecture entitled "Ideal Citizenship" at the Shrine Auditorium, Los Angeles on the evening of February 12th, Lincoln's birthday. This is the same topic that was handled so ably by Mr. Scott when he toured the country in the interest of the commission on religious prejudice. The local Council of Knights of Columbus will attend in a body and ex- Texas has an area of 265,896 square miles. Its estimated population in 1917 is 4,472,494. It is sparsely populated for its size. It is still in the infancy of its development. Its immense stretch of land, still cheap, offers unbounded opportunities for agriculture. Its industrial prosperity has begun. In this gigantic state in 1916, its railroad commission tells us, 19.35 miles of railroad were built. The Galveston News says: “If then, Texas needs more railroad mileage, and if the supply of idle investment capital is abundant beyond all precedent, what is the explanation of the fact that last year only 19 miles of railroad were built in Texas? It seems to us it can be explained upon only one hypotheses, and that is that railroad building in Texas is not an inviting form of investment, and this is at a time when capital is busily looking for investment opportunities.” That is respectfully submitted to the Texas railroad commission, to all other state railroad commissions, to the Interstate Commerce Commission, to congress and all citizens of sober mind. And it might well be submitted to members of several western legislatures who are considering legislation discouraging to railroad development.

Sunset 20 and 362 Home 1083 HOW TO PREVENT INJURY FROM THE PEAR SCAB Is an Unnecessary Disease, Declares University Expert "Abolish the unnecessary disease of Pear Scab," says the University of California to the fruit growers of the state. There is no need of letting the surface of California pears be blotched and indurated with this preventable disease. There was an unusual prevalence of pear scab in California during the past year, yet it may readily be checked. The university tells how in a circular on "Control of Pear Scab," written by Ralph E. Smith, Professor of plant pathology, and obtainable free by writing to the college of agriculture at Berkeley. This is the method. Plow under dead leaves as thoroughly as possible. Spray with Bordeaux mixture twice while the buds are unfolding; first when the leaf buds are just opening; second, a week or ten days later, just before the individual blossoms open. The first spraying is the more important, but both should be given. In large orchards, start in time, but after the buds have begun to unfold, because spraying after the blossom buds are well out will do little good, especially with Bartlett pears. An extra precaution is to spray a third time, mixing the first lead arsenate codling moth spray with Bordeaux mixture instead of plain water. Good equipment and high pressure should be used, and the trees covered thoroughly, especially the twigs and buds. Bordeaux mixture is made by dissolving twenty pounds of bluestone, slacking twenty-five pounds of quicklime in a separate vessel, straining the bluestone into the spray tank and filling it half full or more of water, and then straining in the lime, mixed with the rest of the water.(200 gallons is the total water used.) The materials should always be well diluted before mixing them together. If a third spraying is to be used of lead arseane combined with Bordeaux mixture, the amounts of bluestone and lime may be reduced to fifteen and twenty pounds respectively. Dr. M. M.
