OUTLOOK IS GOOD FOR BIG CITRUS CROP Will Bring More Money Than in Any Previous Year If weather and market conditions continue favorable and plenty of cars for shipment are available, the California citrus crop will this year bring probably the largest returns in history, according to G. Harold Powell of the California Fruit Growers Exchange. Orange county will get its share of this increased dividend, which will add to the prosperity of every one in this section. Total returns from California's orange and lemon crop last year were approximately $40,000,000, of which about five millions came to Orange county. Favorable conditions throughout the Valencia season will bring possibly a million dollars more to this county, it is estimated. Already the California citrus crop this year, mostly navels, has brought $2,000,000 more than to the same date two years ago, when the crop was about the same size as this year. More than $350,000 has been received for 90,000 less boxes of lemons over the same date a year ago, according to Mr. Powell, of which this county gets a goodly share. Comparatively little of the increased return for Navels comes to Orange county, as this district is a light Navel shipper, sending out only about 300 cars a year. Orange county is strong on the fine late Valencias, however, and will have its innings when the Valencia shipping season starts about the middle of May. This may sound a little fervid, and yet one only has to think a little to realize that it has naught too much either of heat or cold. In contrast with the darkness and danger of the past it is not a ray too bright. We have had trainloads of scheduled perishables side tracked all the way across the country in the past. We have had packing houses and freight yards full of our best products—lost after all labor and expense had been expended upon them. We have had embargoes placed upon shipments of stuff in prime condition because of the doubt whether wheels could be turned or not. We have seen a year's labor and outlay lost because some private interest refused a few day's action—hardship and loss brought upon thousands for the fancied rights of scores. In the public view such things are intolerable—and now, happily it has passed for all time. The future of California demands that all avenues of public interest shall be held open by the supremacy of public rights. The face of the earth shall be open and free from barriers of private interests; the ocean shall be open and free from the manace by desperate humanity; the Panama Canal shall be open and placed beyond the possibility of seizure by European imperialism; the air shall be open for flight of men and the thoughts of men, without pollution by those who aim to prey upon our peace and prosperity. And all this we claim for California, of course, as a part of the indivisible nation in which we glory—this nation which has preached the supremacy of public rights to all the world for nearly a century and a half, and has but just discovered and laid hold upon its of the Villa Park section by parties who own privicinity through which already been run.

TREASURER'S REPORT The statement of condition of the Orange county treasury shows that on March 29, the total of all money in the county treasury was $582,533.75. The funds in the separate districts are shown as follows: Road map, district No. 1 ... $5,598.70 Newbert protection district ... 1,055.16 Talbert drainage district ... 61.96 Newport drainage district ... 2,488.94 Delhi drainage district ... 485.18 Bolsa drainage district ... 2,800.84 County clerk's trust fund ... 671.55 County redemption money ... 271.89 Collateral inheritance money 36,132.06 Deceased estate ... 15,012.49 Per. property rebate money ... 1,091.77 Westminster drain. district... 6,024.93 City motor vehicle fund ... 3,515.20 Teachers' pension fund ... 1,002.00 PUBLIC UTILITIES DECISION The California Supreme Court has recently fixed the power of the California Railroad commission to forbid competition of public utilities. The decision was rendered in a case arising some years ago from Stockton, where one utility undertook to set itself up in competition with another that was already rendering adequate service. The State commission ruled against the competition and the court sustained it. “This is a notable decision, in a way,” says the Pubblic Service Magazine, “not that it evolves or enunciates a new principal, but that it fortifies fact and proved experience with the force of judicial opinion. It serves again to remind us that utilities are natural monopolies, able only to render their best service to the public as monopolies. Wherever they compete the public suffers in point of heavier overhead, which is made up in rates.” BLUE SKY FOR CALIFORNIA Of course every state which puts canal shall be open and placed beyond the possibility of seizure by European imperialism; the air shall be open for flight of men and the thoughts of men, without pollution by those who aim to prey upon our peace and prosperity. And all this we claim for California, of course, as a part of the indivisible nation in which we glory—this nation which has preached the supremacy of public rights to all the world for nearly a century and a half, and has but just discovered and laid hold upon its own most important share therein! INCREASED STOCK ON FOREST RANGES 111,000 More Cattle and Horses Grazing Than a Year Ago Approved grazing allowances for the National Forests during the coming season provide for the pasturing of 8,400,155 sheep, 2,120,145 cattle and horses, and 54,680 swine. These figures, compared with those of last year, represent an approximate increase of 111,000 cattle and horses and a decrease of about 200,000 sheep. Grazing experts of the forest service figure that for purposes of range allotment one cow is equal to five sheep. Consequently the increase of 111,000 cattle and horses is held to be equivalent to a net increase of 355,000 sheep, or of 71,000 cattle, over the total number of stock grazed last year. The decrease in the number of sheep is said to be caused by the action of owners who are disposing of their flocks in order to buy cattle. In most cases the reason is not because of greater profits in handling cattle, but because the rapidly changing conditions on the open ranges where sheep have been handled in the past, make it increasingly difficult to find feed for this class of stock during the months when deep snow prohibits grazing on the national forests. It is stated that the capacity of the national forests range is gradually being increased by protection against overgrazing and improved methods of handling the stock. New areas are also being brought into use by the development of watering places, while the eradication of poisonous plants is reducing the losses suffered by the stockmen. The approved grazing allowances for the national forests in Californic during the coming grazing season of 1917 provide for 521,450 sheep and canals shall be open and placed beyond the possibility of seizure by European imperialism; the air shall be open for flight of men and the thoughts of men, without pollution by those who aim to prey upon our peace and prosperity.

California counts distance of transportation to her markets by thousands of miles, while most states count by hundred. California counts time of transportation by days and weeks, while most other states count by hours and days. California counts values in strictly perishable classes by hundreds of millions, while most other states count in millions. California counts carload freight rates in hundreds of dollars while most other states count them in tens. And when California can point confidently to the supremacy of public rights as a surety against any threat or menace of interruption by either strike or tie-up, she has a guaranty of increased production, which for volume, variety and value is beyond the reach of most other states, and of development of which present achievements are but a promise. As one thinks of these things and all they indicate in population, in prosperity and an imperial statehood for California and her rich and beautiful sister states upon this coast of the greatest ocean that is to be, it surely spreads a rosy glow upon our circumambient blue, and fills the heart with adoration for this new demonstration of the old American endowment. The approved grazing allowances for the national forests in California, during the coming grazing season of 1917 provide for 521,450 sheep and goats, 221,700 cattle and horses, and 6,625 swine. These figures compared with those of last year represent an increase of 8,250 cattle and horses, and 8,400 sheep and goats. This increase in number of stock is due to better methods of handling stock on the part of stockmen; improvement work on forests, such as trails, water development; and better knowledge of the actual carrying capacity of range land within the national forests of California as a result of special grazing studies. DEFECTIVE P. O. SCALES That scales used in the post offices in Orange county are a lot of junk and that the government is not amenable to the weight and measures law of this state, was the startling statement of County Sealer of Weights and Measures George McPhee in an address before the Men's Bible class at the First Christian church at Santa Ana. He asserted that he had found scales that would not break as they should and that as a result patrons of the post offices were being overcharged. When he reported on the defectiveness of the equipment he was advised that the government tested its own property and that he could not confiscate the defective scales. That the Salt Lake may expect no consideration in the form of shipments if it forces its right of way through the productive orange groves.

ASSAULTED WITH CLUB BY UNKNOWN ENEMY Well Known Financier Seriously Injured at Capistrano Major John W. A. Off, financier clubman and former owner of a chain of drug stores in Southern California, was beaten into insensibility and left for dead by an unknown enemy last Monday night on the Off ranch near Capistrano. Early on Tuesday morning, almost twelve hours after the vicious assault Major Off regained consciousness and crawled to the ranch home, about 300 feet distant. Suffering from a severe concussion of the brain, from a broken collar bone, four broken ribs and innumerable bruises on the body, the injured man was later taken to the Santa Ana hospital by his wife and daughter. Major Off was able Wednesday to make his first statement of the attempted murder. His condition is yet regarded as serious, but complete rest cleared his mind so that he could give a rational and sequential statement. Not only is identity of the assailant written to Lieutenant-Governor Morgan, of Kansas, during the recent session of the legislature of that state, indignantly protesting against the "bone-dry" bill then pending. "What will we do if this measure is passed," he asked. "In case of snake NO BABES IN SERBIA A woman whose home had been in Serbia, and who recently arrived in this country, declares that in that unhappy land there are no children under the age of three years. All the babies have died. Each baby born comes into a sphere too rigorous to be endured. It is born to starvation. Its troubles are brief. In Serbia there never has been an agitation looking to birth control. Large families were common, and for a wife to be childless was deemed a misfortune. Now there is promise that all wives shall be childless. Their little ones die in their arms, and the older ones march to battle. Their husbands are away fighting, many never to return. In some respects the tragedy of Serbia is one of the saddest of the war. Serbia was made to appear as the cause of the initial outbreak, and early was swept away by the rising tide of battle. It was overrun. Instead of a place of homes, it became the abode of desolation. Such resources as it had stored were taken or destroyed. The resources dormant in the soil could not be developed, for war needed all the stock and all the men. The Serbians fought valiantly but to no purpose. For the time at least, the nation was stamped out. It is not a nation today. Its ruler is in exile, its sons dead or in the ranks, and its daughters perish miserably of want and fear.

broken collar bone, four broken ribs and innumerable bruises on the body, the injured man was later taken to the Santa Ana hospital by his wife and daughter. Major Off was able Wednesday to make his first statement of the attempted murder. His condition is yet regarded as serious, but complete rest cleared his mind so that he could give a rational and sequential statement. Not only is identity of the assailant lacking, but nothing which would suggest a motive can be contributed by either the injured man or his associates. Ne effort was made to rob Off by the would-be murderer. Major Off knew no enemies, and during his long and successful business career he has never before been even a party to a serious altercation, it was said. Major Off left his wife at the family residence, 3028 West Eighth street in Los Angeles, Monday afternoon, and started by machine to Capistrano. He reached the ranch house in the evening. Everything was apparently in proper order. About 9 o'clock he went outside to see that the barn and outbuildings were properly closed. As he turned a key in the barn door lock, Off thought he heard a step behind him. He turned and at that instant was struck on the head with some heavy weapon. Had the Major not turned as he did, he might have been killed. The movement caused the blow to glance, thereby taking away a great deal of its force. Yet it was sufficient to render him completely unconscious. While Major Off was helpless on the ground the assailant continued to strike him with his club. When his ribs and collar bone had been broken the unconscious man was kicked by his would-be murderer. The assault ceased, it is believed, when the assailant thought Off was dead. Off's money and jewelry were found intact. No search of the house had been made. Had the culprit been a robber he would have had plenty of time to rifle the banker's pockets and loot his home. A PROFITABLE FIELD The Whittier-Fullerton oil field has produced a total of 97,426,665 barrels of crude oil during the past twenty years since the field started, according to the Standard Oil Bulletin which has compiled complete statistics for nation was stamped out. It is not a nation today. Its ruler is in exile, its sons dead or in the ranks, and its daughters perish miserably of want and fear. A constituent wrote to Lieutenant-Governor Morgan, of Kansas, during the recent session of the legislature of that state, indignantly protesting against the "bone-dry" bill then pending. "What will we do if this measure is passed," he asked, "in case of snake bite?" "I have yours," wrote the lieutenant governor by return mail, "and I fully agree with you that the contingency to which you refer calls for earnest attention. Let me assure you that it will have my most serious thought. In fact, I am now considering a measure whoch is intended to prohibit snakes from biting." RUN DOWN BY AUTO Peter Mosbruger, who is employed at the Foyle ranch north of Anaheim, was run down by an unknown autoist Thursday night and severely injured. The accident occurred at about 9 o'clock. Mosbruger left the ranch house to go to the store for tobacco. As he was on his way an automobile coming from behind him struck him, throwing him to the pavement. The car did not stop, and Mosbruger was unable to get the number in the darkness and in his dazed condition. Under Sheriff Iman went from Santa Ana with the ambulance and took the victim from the Foyle ranch house to the county hospital. X-ray photographs have been taken through the shoulders of the Austrian in an attempt to determine if the interior bones are broken. Several stitches were taken in his scalp. LONG BEACH INVENTORS ARE GETTING BUSY Plans for Improved Airship Submitted To Government J. W. Boyd, Long Beach aviator, submitted designs of a new type of aircraft, which, according to experienced airmen who have viewed them, may revolutionize aviation. Among the remarkable features of the new machine are that it would have at least seven sets of tri-plane wings; would be equipped with fourteen propellers, and would ascend by propeller draft. Boyd claims his new A PROFITABLE FIELD The Whittier-Fullerton oil field has produced a total of 97,426,665 barrels of crude oil during the past twenty years since the field started, according to the Standard Oil Bulletin which has compiled complete statistics for the state fields. Only three other fields in the state exceed the local production, the Midway-Sunset field, with 225,262,009 barrels, the Kern river field with 190,149,600 barrels, and the Coalinga field with 180,934,188 barrels. All four of these fields were started between the years 1897 and 1900. A constantly increasing production has been shown each year, the Whittier-Fullerton field production since 1897 being as follows: 1897—12,000; 1898—60,000; 1899—108,007; 1900—351,397; 1901—802,652; 1902—1,103,793; 1903—2,305,613; 1904—2,224,550; 1905—2,118,312; 1906—2,434,512; 1907—3,294,206; 1908—4,273,314; 1909—5,157,252; 1910—6,281,221; 1911—7,081,165; 1912—7,919,779; 1913—10,657,053; 1914—14,130,548; 1915—13,030,549; 1916—14,679,672. Buster Callan, former manager of the Fullerton club, is going strong with the Oakland club this year. Callan, who was carring excess weight along toward the end of the season, has dropped ten pounds. Under the captions, "Buster Callan who is pegging them down to second for Oakland this year," is in great shape," the sport page of an Oakland paper carries a full length picture of Callan. He has been hitting strong and undoubtedly will have no trouble in staying as a first string catcher. Dr. M. M. Henderson, Dentist, Suite 1, Mullinix Bldg., Anaheim. To Government J. W. Boyd, Long Beach aviator, submitted designs of a new type of air craft, which, according to experienced airmen who have viewed them, may revolutionize aviation. Among the remarkable features of the new machine are that it would have at least seven sets of tri-plane wings; would be equipped with fourteen propellers, and would ascend by propeller draft. Boyd claims his new invention would have a flying radius of several thousand miles, and could easily carry a number of effective machine guns. The proposed craft would have three 100 horsepower motors, with the third engine always kept in reserve. The machine might vary in length from 50 to 150 feet and have a wing spread of from twenty-four to forty feet. It would not need a running start to rise, and could alight by settling straight downward. It is also claimed by the inventor that the craft could be controlled so as to remain dead still in the air for several minutes at a time. Aviator Boyd declares that flying machines built on lines indicated in his plans could easily solve the transcontinental freight problem. Dr. A. Reed, also of Long Beach has forwarded to the United States government as a gift outright to the navy department,a detailed description and model of a device which he has invented by which holes blown in armored vessels can be immediately plugged and quickly repaired. Dr. Reed is a veteran of the civil war, seeing service as a drummer boy at the age of 12 years with the 65th New York Volunteers. He is at the present time leader of the Long Beach Veteran Martial Band, composed of eight men. LADY BIRDS One indication of the greater plant-ing activities in California this year has been shown in the demand for lady birds,made of the state insectary. For years the state horticultural commission has gathered in the Sierra Nevada millions of these little friends of the small crop grower. They have been collected by the bushel,brought to the state insectary,kep in cold storage and later shipped to various portions of the state. The Imperial Valley received the first consignment of these lady birds years ago,and it was found that they aided materially in controlling the aphis. Now the bean growers have learned of their value,and this year San Luis Obispo county applied for a great number of them.In fact the order closed with:"Be sure and send at least a carload." The "bug to eat the bug" seems to be the only economical way to control this pest. We hope that new fields where the lady birds may be secured will be found in another year. China has been shipping eggs to California for some years and now Japan is shipping us beans. Dr. M. M. Henderson,Dentist,Suite 1,Mullinix Bldg.,Anaheim. Griffith Lumber Co.
