THE NEW GRAND Tonight patrons of the Grand will again have the pleasure of seeing Mme. Olga Petrova in "The Black Butterfly," the greatest of all the many successful productions in which this celebrated Metro star has appeared. This new play is given this honor not only because of its wonderful dramatic values, but because it deals with war conditions in France today. In "The Black Butterfly" the beautiful Russian star plays two important leading parts. In one she is cast as Sonia Simirnov, an opera singer of the Follies Bergere of Paris, a brilliant, talented woman of the world, and in the other she plays the part of Marie, the convent girl. Her work in both of these greatly separated roles is as fine as any that she has ever done. One of the most remarkable scenes is a reproduction of a den of Paris Apaches, which Mme. Petrova, herself, with the aid of her cameraman, staged and directed. The scene represented is the famous Caveau, where Apaches and their gigolettes drink, dine and dance. Real Apache dancing is given by artists of the first rank, and every detail of the scene is carried out with absolute realism and accuracy. "MYSTERIOUS MRS. M." Mary McLaren, one of the favorite stars of the patrons of the Grand, will appear Friday and Saturday in "Mysterious Mrs. M." In this production the hero is informed by a fortune teller that he will die upon a certain day, the sorceress saying that she, too, will pass away within a week. The woman DRANGE COUNTY NOTES Bean Growers Want Penalty:— At a meeting of the San Joaquin Lima Bean Growers Association meeting at Irvine Monday a recommendation was made that the California Lima Bean Growers association which is the central association, put a liquidated damage clause in the 1917 contracts with growers, the penalty for non-delivery to be two cents per pound. Last year the contracts established no penalty for the failure of a grower to deliver his beans to the association to which he belonged. While the question as to whether or not damages can be collected from the growers who jumped their contracts has not been settled, the necessity of a plain, adequate provision in the contract has become apparent, and the plan to institute such a provision has been recommended by several of the associations. The San Joaquin association went strongly on record in favor of it. The San Joaquin association has lost none of its members, and has gained in membership over 1916. Don't Want Shade Trees:— A communication has been received by the board of supervisors from F. A. and J. O. Forster, Albert Pryor, C. Echenique, Mrs. Soledad Landell and Miguel Yorba, asking that no highway trees be planted on the state highway between San Juan creek and the south county line. It is stated that the road is used frequently for driving cattle, and the petitioners do not want to be held for any damage that might occur to trees. The forestry department had not planned to plant below San Juan Capistrano this year.

Mary McLaren, one of the favorite stars of the patrons of the Grand, will appear Friday and Saturday in "Mysterious Mrs. M." In this production the hero is informed by a fortune teller that he will die upon a certain day, the sorceress saying that she, too, will pass away within a week. The woman dies and thus fulfills a part of her prediction, and the young man "sees his finish." At this time a beautiful girl enters his life, and feeling it would be unjust for a doomed man to make loving advances, the complications multiply until the interesting story comes to a "surprise" ending that is too good to disclose in advance. There is nothing tawdry in any detail of the production—everything is genuine and real. Two more reels of "Patria" will be shown at the Friday and Saturday performances. This is a story of patriotism and preparedness and is peculiarly interesting at this time, when Mars appears to be the ruling god, and even a peace-loving nation may be forced to fight for its own existence. Mrs. Vernon Castle was selected for the title role as the true embodiment of that Americanism which is so dear to every patriot. "HER RIGHT TO LIVE" This is the title of the play that will be shown Sunday, afternoon and night, with Peggy Hyland and Antonio Moreno in the principal roles. It is a thrilling romance, with tragic features. After struggling with her brood of brother and sister fledglings—after living in dread at the home of a disreputable relative, Hoadley—after saving the kiddies from the poor house the night it burned, she had found a haven in a bungalow, where the young artist painted his pictures. That very night Hoadley's benchman was murdered and the finger of quilt pointed at the artist. All man, all moral fibre, he refused to discredit the girl. How she frees him from his plight and at the same time wins the protection of his love, is depicted with a wonderful touch in a feature in which tears and smiles chase each other with charming effect. "The NINETY AND NINE" While learning to drive their new car Mrs. P. M. Higley, of Newport Beach, in company with her husband, came near going into the ditch as the result of being struck by an orange thrown by Lewis Lyons, the son of Attorney Lyons of Los Angeles. Young Lyons, who was riding in an automobile, threw the orange just as Ecumenique, Mrs. Soledad Landen and Miguel Yorba, asking that no highway trees be planted on the state highway between San Juan creek and the south county line. It is stated that the road is used frequently for driving cattle, and the petitioners do not want to be held for any damage that might occur to trees. The forestry department had not planned to plant below San Juan Capistrano this year. New/Building for Fullerton: Announcement that the Stern Realty Company will build a modern two-story building for the Stern & Goodman Mercantile company on the site of its present quarters, was made on Wednesday. The new building is to cost in the neighborhood of $25,000. The structure will occupy 100 feet on Spadra and 130 feet on Commonwealth. One hundred feet of the old building, fronting on Spadra will be remodeled and improved. Stockholders of the Stern & Goodman Mercantile Co. met Tuesday and elected the same officers and board of directors to serve another year. The reality company held no election. Annoyed by Photographers: Complaint has been made to District Attorney West and Supervisor Leck that visitors at the old mission at San Juan Capistrano are finding themselves annoyed by a couple of photographers who hold forth on the highway in front of the mission. It seems that when an automobile full of visitors stops, a photographer is Johnny-on-the-spot with his camera, takes a picture, climbs aboard the running board and importunes the occupants of the machine to buy pictures. It is stated that insistence at times becomes a nuisance, and a number of people have reported that they "are tired of it." The district attorney is considering the advisability of getting up an ordinance to prohibit the taking of photographs on the highway about the mission. Almost Wrecked by an Orange: While learning to drive their new car Mrs. P. M. Higley, of Newport Beach, in company with her husband, came near going into the ditch as the result of being struck by an orange thrown by Lewis Lyons, the son of Attorney Lyons of Los Angeles. Cravath took it and proceeded to city. After reacting many miles poor directions, finding her in a from the road, All man, all moral fibre, he refused to discredit the girl. How she frees him from his plight and at the same time wins the protection of his love, is depicted with a wonderful touch in a feature in which tears and smiles chase each other with charming effect. "The NINETY AND NINE" William Courtenay and Lucile Stewart appear Monday and Tuesday in "The Ninety and Nine." This is a story in which a young girl marries a besotted man in order to reform him. She took his as a drink sootten youth, beneath whose exterior she saw a soul struggling against the inner problems and lifted him to his real place in society. Then when the test of manhood came, and he drove a runaway engine through a blazing forest fire, saving the town from destruction, her child-like faith was repaid by his vindication and loyal love. This Vitagraph feature carries the same high powered human punch, that made this play so famous years ago. "The Ninety and Nine" has strength, heart interest and thrills. Manager Mozart has decided to charge hereafter 10 cents for adults and 5 cents for children, any seat. All who have patronized the New Grand will acknowledge that the pictures produced there justify a higher price, but Mr. Mozart does not intend to lower the quality of his shows because he has reduced the price of admission. He will continue to present the best that is produced by the most famous artists. FOR SALE, Wonder Powder, the only true spraying powder. Try It. Fred Marsh.

Higley, of Newport Beach, in company with her husband, came near going into the ditch as the result of being struck by an orange thrown by Lewis Lyons, the son of Attorney Lyons of Los Angeles. Young Lyons, who was riding in an automobile, threw the orange just as they were passing Mr. and Mrs. Higley, and the fruit struck her squarely on the jaw, dazing her for a moment, and had it not been for the prompt action of her husband she would have lost control of the care. Both the young men were apprehended by Marshal J. A. Porter and after being questioned, Lyons admitted his guilt. Mr. Higley did not swear to any complaint against the youngsters, but in case he does the matter will be up to the Juvenile court, as the boys are under 16 years of age. Mrs. Higley has been confined to her home since the accident and was unable to appear against the boys. Sewer System for Seal Beach: The Seal Beach chamber of commerce gave a "get together" banquet at the Jewel City cafe Wednesday night which was attended by more than 100 members and their wives. An elaborate course dinner, interspersed with dancing and entertainment, opened the program. President Frank Burt delivered the principal address on "Cooperation and its Value to a Community." He pointed out what had been accomplished and the aims and ideals of the future, laying especial stress on the get-together factor. Seal Beach, by a practically unanimous vote, has appropriated $75,000 Anaheim Gazette NOTES for a sewer system and for extending its water system; $35,000 more is to be expended in improving the streets and elaborate preparations are being made for the summer amusement campaign. Similar meetings will be held from time to time. Preparing to Build Jetty:— The board of trustees and the harbor commission of Newport Beach have been engaged during the past week with the engineers in going over the specifications which will be made the basis for the bidding for the contract for the construction of the municipal jetty at the entrance of Newport harbor. At the outset it is clearly seen that only the contractors who are capable of delivering 5000 tons of rock or more a month will be considered, for the rapidity with which the rock is dumped, particularly in laying the foundation, is vitally essential to prevent scouring before the core of mixed rock is put in to protect the "blanket." The material may be brought from the Los Angeles quarries on Catalina Island, or from the Inland quarries of Decloz, Casa Blanca or Corona, all of which have a capacity sufficient for the city's needs. The length of the jetty will be about 1500 feet, the width at the top being ten feet and four feet above the water at high tide, with a ten-foot elevation at low water. The wall will slope outward at the bottom, the basic angle being about 45 deg. When completed the structure will contain approximately 45,000 tons of rock and will cost $100,000.

Harper, John Mitchell, Bert Cloyes, George Reyburn, Jack Jentges and Mr. Duan. County Park Popular Resort:— The midwinter month at Orange county park was a busy season, considering the weather. Sunshiny days always brought visitors, the majority of them tourists. One day 20 machines, representing as many different states were there. The green grass, the lofty oaks and sycamores and the pretty little lake were all beauty spots to the visitors. A lunch out of doors, cooked over the open fire, was a novelty for this time of the year to many. Numerous birthday suppers and family reunions were celebrated and high school picnics and winter bakes have been held there. Many improvements are being made in the park. Soon a lot of young oak trees are to be set out. Oil at Newport Beach:— After a ten year fight against all manner of obstacles and the sinking of 12 wells on the mesa land lying in the vicinity of Newport bay, oil has at last been discovered in what is believed to be paying quantities on the property formerly owned and promoted by W. S. Collins. This property lies about one half mile northwest of the inner harbor of Newport bay. In putting down the present well, which was started over a year ago, the same obstacles were encountered as in the former attempts, water causing the chief difficulty. The well was started with a 12-inch casing and driven down through the surface water which extended to a depth of about 550 feet, where a brown shale was encountered, which held to the oil bearing sand at a depth of 2100 feet. The water sand was shut off with a 6-inch was reserved the right to exercise the taxing power over property, incomes, inheritances, etc., so far as practicable within their jurisdiction. But the last three or four years have recorded an increasing tendency on the part of congress to ignore imports and to trench on state sources. The present bill absolutely disregards imports in the face of the fact that they have shown a marked increase in value during the past calendar year without a corresponding increase in revenues. The following shows imports, duties collected and average rate of duty for the past six calendar years, (figures in millions): Calandar Duties Average Year Imports colected rate 1911 (1) .. $1,527 ... $300 ... 19.7% 1912 (2) .. 1,818 ... 326 ... 18.0% 1913 (3) .. 1,792 ... 310 ... 17.3% 1914 (4) .. 1,789 ... 241 ... 13.5% 1915 (5) .. 1,778 ... 198 ... 11.17% 1916 (6) .. 2,391 ... 217 ... 9.18% (1) Protective period.

(5) Full war period, trade demoralization during earlier months. (6) Full war period, trade readjustment and shift to new channels. During the month of December, 1916 the average rate of duty went as low as 8.4 per cent, $17,205,033 of customs revenues being realized from $205,-000,000 worth of imports. The increase in the free list, 1916, over 1915, totaled $445,000,000; over 1914, $513,000,000; over 1913, $620,-000,000; while the value of dutiful imports during 1916 was $21,000,000 less than in 1913; and $46,000,000 less than in 1912—the 1916 imports paying merely nominal rates of duty. Garden Grove Products: That our neighboring town on the southwest is a busy burg is indicated by the report of the Pacific Electric which shows that 872 cars of products of the soil were shipped out during the first eleven months of 1916.

K. Cravath completed a drive of 181 miles Thursday night. The abductor, who stole Theresa from her parent's home near Huntington Beach over a month ago, was found in the house of one of his friends at Carlsbad, north of Oceanside. The girl was located near San Luis Rey. During the first week in January, Casmiro Garcia reported to the sheriff that his daughter had been stolen from her home by a suitor whose advances were unwelcome. Garcia, of the proud old Castillian type, was determined to find her, wherever the search might take him. He had been given to understand that the couple had travelled in the direction of River side, and it was in that direction that a search was conducted. Many false trails were encountered, and Wednesday a message was received that the girl was four miles from Oceanside. Cravath took the father of the girl and proceeded toward the southern city. After reaching there, they traveled many miles on false clues and poor directions, finally succeeding in finding her in a house set far back from the road, on an untravelled high place. In putting down the present well, which was started over a year ago, the same obstacles were encountered as in the former attempts, water causing the chief difficulty. The well was started with a 12-inch casing and driven down through the surface water which extended to a depth of about 550 feet, where a brown shale was encountered, which held to the oil bearing sand at a depth of 2100 feet. The water sand was shut off with a 6-inch casing just before entering the shale and that casing driven down to a depth of 2565 feet, the depth of the well at present. MEXICANS WILL CELEBRATE The four hundredth anniversary of the discovery of Mexico by Francisco Hernandez de Cordoba will be celebrated elaborately in Mexico City on March 1 under the auspices of the Mexican Geographical society aided by the local Spanish colony. That Mernando Cortes was the first to touch Mexican soil when he landed April 21, 1519, has been accepted by many, but investigations of the society have shown it is claimed, that de Cordoba, bearing a commission from the governor of Cuba, landed on the peninsula of Yucatan in 1517 and took possession of that territory in the name of the king of Spain. The expedition apparently was not a success and returned to its base. The exact date of de Cordoba's debarkation is not known certainly, but according to the chronicles of the historian Bernal Diaz del Castillo, it probably was March 1, 1517. NAVY IS PREPARED ON PACIFIC COAST Orange County Midshipman Challenges Everything That Floats That the navy is prepared to withstand any attack on the Pacific coast was the statement of Midshipman Paul LeBeuf of the United States monitor Cheyenne, who is spending a few days at his home in Orange. "The boys are not taking this war talk very seriously," said Le Beuf, "and as far as real war is concerned, I do not think there is any doubt that we are ready for anything they want to send over." In regard to the newspaper stories about the Jap fleet off Honolulu, there is nothing in that to During the month of December, 1916 the average rate of duty went as low as 8.4 per cent, $17,205,033 of customs revenues being realized from $205,000,000 worth of imports. The increase in the free list, 1916, over 1915, totaled $445,000,000; over 1914,$513,000,000; over 1913,$620,000,000; while the value of dutileable imports during 1916 was $21,000,000 less than in 1913; and $46,000,000 less than in 1912—the 1916 imports paying merely nominal rates of duty. The proposition to tax profits is excess of eight per cent is another slap in the face of efficiency. No basis is given for the estimated revenue from this source of about $200,000,000 because none exists. With an arbitrariness exceeding all precedent the majority has presumed to name 8 per cent per annum as adequate return upon any line of business activity outside of agriculture or personal services. It does not take into account lean years. A company may have operated at a loss for several seasons and passed dividends. It may then have a prosperous year and become subject to the tax although the average annual profit for a given period might be below the percentage named in the bill. No taxation on production or trade fails to affect all concerned in the business or those dependent upon it. One of the chief objections to the tax is the cost of its operation, and the difficulty of assuring a complete or impartial collection of the revenue. In the first place it will be necessary to make out a schedule of all the corporations and co-partnerships in the country coming under teh provisions of the act. The capital invested must be designated and the profits determined in order that those in excess of 8 per cent, and how much, may be determined. This calls for a task of staggering proportions, and the addition to the federal payroll of a large number of employees, who will later be blanketed into the civil service. Any plan of revenue raising which calls for a disproportionately high cost of collection and administration, such as this one will, is open to the severest criticism because it makes the cost of government to the people out of all proportion to the benefit supposed to be paid for by them. What the actual proceeds will be if this plan is adopted it is impossible to calculate. Again, the adoption of this measure will put a premium on evasion, and imperfect if not actually fradulent state... Garden Grove to Incorporate: Garden Grove is to be incorporated, and no grass can grow under the feet of the incorporators, for they are going right to work to get the required number of signatures to an incorporation, and petitions will be put in circulation at once. This much was decided at a meeting Thursday night of the incorporation committee of the Garden Grove Business Men's association, held there. Fifty signatures are needed, and the committee feels confident that twice that number can be secured, as a majority of the Garden Grovers are now in favor of incorporation. The committeemen also believe the city will have twice the population necessary to incorporate. As outlined, the town will be 1½ miles square, and extending three-quarters of a mile each way from the main business corner. Messrs. R. W. Ritchie and Everett King of the committee were in Santa Ana Friday afternoon to get the petitions drawn up, and at an early meeting of the supervisors the incorporation petitions will be presented. Other members of the business men's committee furthering the incorporation project are E. D. The increase in the tax rate on inheritances is a further encroachment on the source of revenue of the states, which now find the federal government trenching in every direction on those sources. Among the constitutional powers granted to the federal government was that "to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts and excises," and it was further provided that "no state shall, without the consent of congress lay any imposts or duties on imports, except what may be absolutely necessary for executing its inspection laws, and the net produce of all duties and imposts, laid by any state on imports or exports, shall be for the use of the United States; and all such laws shall be subject to the revision and control of congress." It was undoubtedly the intention of the makers of the constitution that duties on imports were to provide one of the chief sources of revenue for the federal government, while to the states revenue raising which calls for a disproportionately high cost of collection and administration, such as this one will, is open to the severest criticism because it makes the cost of government to the people out of all proportion to the benefit supposed to be paid for by them. What the actual proceeds will be if this plan is adopted it is impossible to calculate. Again, the adoption of this measure will put a premium on evasion, and imperfect, if not actually fradulent statements regarding investments and profits. The measure goes a step farther in class legislation by exempting all incomes from agriculture or personal service. Southern legislators, who put the products of the northern and western farmers on the free list, and merely nominal duties on the products of northern and western labor, now make another attempt to palliate that evil by exempting them from this tax and adding to the burden of business north of the Mason and Dixon line. If business in the north and west does not like it, an invitation is extended by the chairman of the ways and means committee to seek asylum in Scotland Neck, Halifax county, N.C., a county with a population of 38,000, of which approximately 9,000 are of voting age and 30 per cent of the voters are illiterate. RUSSIA AS LUMBER COMPETITOR American lumbermen have a prospect of keen competition from Russia, after the close of the present war. The Russian minister of communications, returned from a visit to the Murman coast, comments on the vast areas of timber in northern Russia which stretch for hundreds of square miles.

Any plan of which calls for a disch cost of collection, such as this one is severest criticism on the cost of government on evasion, and immediately fradulent state ture plans to afford the widest access to the exploitation of the timber resources of this section, for both lumber and wood pulp. The extensive system of rivers and streams in that section affords an opportunity to adopt the cheapest method of transporting timber—by rafting, and there is projected the construction of other more improved means of communication which will tend to develop the timber industry. A wide latitude will be permitted in the granting of concessions, and Russian capital is to be enlisted. It is an indispensable condition of the exportation of Russian timber that it be exported in manufactured form, the work to be done by Russians. At a conference of timber men over which the minister presided a plan was drafted for the early development of the timber industry and lumber export. The day is not far distant when Russia will enter the list as a competitor in the lumber trade of the world, and the daily wage paid a Russian mill hand wouldn't buy an American mill hand a plug of tobacco. The American lumber manufacturers now have Hindu and Japanese labor to contend with, operating in the mills of British Columbia. Lumber is on the free list and never in their hostory have our lumbermen experienced such a depression in the trade as during the past three years—although recently war conditions have somewhat stimulated it. American lumbermen are much interested in the Webb bill providing for the combination with respect to export trade. But that alone will not suffice when peace is established. They must have such protection on their product that while they are engaged in building up foreign trade the American market will not be in danger of being piled high with foreign lumber. yard on the Atlantic coast, it is stated, will put the Pacific and the Atlantic on a parity for the first time in the history of the navy. It is pointed out that with facilities of the Panama canal it will be possible at any given moment to rendezvous the whole battleship fleet at or near San Francisco and the whole submarine force at San Pedro. Aside from this consideration, however, it has been stated by officials that it would be the policy of the near future to keep a considerable battleship force on the Pacific coast. This means that there should also be on the Pacific coast an additional number of submarines and a number of cruisers and other auxiliaries proportioned to the battleships to be stationed on the coast. It is understood that the war department is soon to give consideration to the long deferred question of selecting an aviation site for the Pacific. Secretary of War Baker said that the intention of the department was to have this site, if not at North Island, as some nearby point. No announcement can yet be made as to the exact location. There is evident at the navy and war departments a strong current of opinion that the defenses of the Pacific coast should be largely increased. much calls for a dishich cost of collection such as this one the severest criticism the cost of governout of all proporsupposed to be paid that the actual probis plan is adopted calculate. of this measure on evasion, and immally fradulent statevestments and profies a step farther in by exempting all innature or personal legislators, who put northern and westfree list, and moreon the products of orn labor, now make to palliate that evil from this tax and en of business north Dixon line. the north and west an invitation is exchairman of the ways tree to seek asylum Halifax county, N. a population of 38, approximately 9,000 are 30 per cent of the BER COMPETITOR armen have a prospetition from Russia, of the present war. master of communicatom a visit to the comments on the vast in northern Russia hundreds of square department of agricul- three years—although recently war conditions have somewhat stimulated it.

In regard to lumber many of the southern states are heartily in favor of portfection, but their represensntatives in congress are still looking at the matter through the lenses of 1846. American lumbermen will receive protection when the republican party is in control, and not until then. SUBMARINE BASE AT SAN PEDRO Recent dispatches from Washington state that the commission considering the establishment of navy yards and naval bases, of which Rear Admiral Helen is chairman, had recommended the establishment of the Pacific submarine base at San Pedro, the naval base at San Francisco and the aviation base at or near San Diego. It is learned that there were many recommendations of the commission which were not announced in the recent abstract of its report given out at the navy department. One of the officials said, however, that the Helm commission naturally took up the subject of a submarine base as a matter next in importance to the establishment of the new navy yard at San Francisco bay. The establishment of a submarine base at San Pedro, together with that of a navy yard at San Francisco bay to be in all respects the equal of the best The Seal of Public Approval HAS BEEN PLACED ON ALL OUR Wines and Liquors AND BOTTLED BEERS Fisher Wine Co. 119 NORTH LOS ANGELES ST.
