GREATEST TROUT SEASON OF RECENT YEARS Will be a Rush for Favorite Haunts When May 1st Dawns. Trout fishermen are watching the calendar closely these days, and putting in spare time preparing for the greatest season their favorite line of sport has seen in recent years. As May first draws nearer, every natural condition continues favorable and Sunday scouting parties are becoming quite the thing. Some of the rod and reel fraternity who have "kidded" themselves into believing in April 1st opening have been duly warned by the Fish and Game Commission in the public prints; and others trying to cheat the law abiding, ran into patrol deputies to their detriment. A day's fishing now costs $25. Justices out through the country have been supporting the laws by fines sufficient to discourage "soonering." Everywhere the value of trout as an attraction to all is making itself evident. Anglers all over the state are pleased greatly at the passage of the bill retiring wild trout from sale. They always were too expensive to cut any great figure except as the prerogative of the very wealthy, and bore no appreciable relation to living costs. Brook trout served in exclusive clubs are domestically reared fish, raised under the so called fish farming act, which permits the luxury demand to be supplied upon a commercial basis, and prevents placing a financial inducement upon cheating the laws passed to keep our streams attractive. The substantial vote given this measure was particularly gratifying to those who believe that fish and game is worth more as an attraction than commercialized more directly as a food product. Deputy Jas. H. Gyger has the credit ALIEN LAND Deciding that law does not owe with Japan concurring the state has a ship of land by citizenship, Judgeth Superior or Riverside the fate of international peal to higher taken.

Said road having been partially constructed prior to the incorporation of the city of Brea. The map of Tract No. 70 was accepted as the official plotting of said tract. The present rate for county advertising was continued to July 1, 1917, so that county rate be established from fiscal year to fiscal year. CALL TO THE COLORS Major Wayne Abbott, formerly of the George W. Cook, drum corps and band of Denver, has issued a call to all members and ex-members of that organization who are now living in Southern California, asking them to communicate with him immediately. It is Major Abbott's intention to enlist their services in recruiting band under the so called fish farming act, which permits the luxury demand to be supplied upon a commercial basis, and prevents placing a financial inducement upon cheating the laws passed to keep our streams attractive. The substantial vote given this measure was particularly gratifying to those who believe that fish and game is worth more as an attraction than commercialized more directly as a food product. Deputy Jas. H. Gyger has the credit of making the greatest haul of trout sooners recorded thus far this year in the South, harvesting no less than six old hands, seasoned offenders all, on the San Jacinto reservoir, above Hemit. They had 15 big spawners secreted in their car, weighing 45 pounds, and a total of $150 fine was levied on the party. Deputy John J. Barnett has been getting a man a week on the Ventura which is so chock full of big fish that the temptation is too great for some to resist. All its tributaries are in prime condition, materially better than at this time last year. The waterlevels are keeping up, streams will be very clear by the first, fly fishing will be perfectly feasible. In the main river, and in the Santa Ynez, moss will bother the angler seriously, but the fish are there. The salmon, planted by the state four years ago and repeatedly since, are being seen in both the Ventura and the Santa Ynez, but their time will be in the fall. This experimental attempt to build up a "run" in the South is being watched with interest by fish-culturists. If successful, it will add materially to food supply, and prove far more of a factor than trout now withdrawn from sale. The greatest interest ever shown in the San Bernardino mountain lakes already is assured. Fishing conditions are looking more favorable every day and there seems little doubt that this will be at least, as good a year as last, which was the best yet. The fish in the upper lake will have added another year's growth; last summer they were husky enough to harvest tackle wholesale, and some classic battles are certain to reward the early birds. Roads will make Bear lake more accessible than any previous year at the opening.

Cook, drum corps and band of Denver, has issued a call to all members and ex-members of that organization who are now living in Southern California, asking them to communicate with him immediately. It is Major Abbott's intention to enlist their services in recruiting bandmen for a musical organization which he declares will be ready for active service in six weeks. Abbott's present address is Seal Beach,, Cal. He states that there are about 40 men in this vicinity who have worked in the Cook corps, and he wants every one of them to help him in procuring trombone, cornet, clarinet, piccolo and drum players. Abbott hopes to have a band of 100 men which he will turn over to the United States government as soon as they are proficient. For 22 years he was drum major and business manager for the corps in Denver. ARMENIANS WANT TO FIGHT Application for organization of a volunteer company of 150 Armenians was made Thursday to Adjt.-Gen. J. J. Borree by Lloyd T. Stephenson of Fresno, formerly captain of Co. C. National Guard of California, of that city. The application stated that the Armenians were desirous of assisting the United States in the event of active war and that they would provide their own equipment. Adjt.-Gen. Borree said he was without authority to grant permission for the organization of the company, but he thought congress undoubtedly would pass legislation whereby the Armenian company could be enrolled the upper lake will have added another year's growth; last summer they were husky enough to harvest tackle wholesale, and some classic battles are certain to reward the early birds. Roads will make Bear lake more accessible than any previous year at the opening. STATE MAY CARE FOR HIGHWAY TREES Will Probably Take Over Those Planted by County Forestry Board The care of about twenty miles of trees planted on the state highway by the board of forestry of Orange county will be turned over to the state, if a petition forwarded to the state highway commission by T. E. Stephenson, secretary of the forestry board, is granted. Stephenson has the assurance of A. B. Fletcher, chief engineer of the state commission, that the petition will be granted. Preliminary steps toward the transfer of the state highway planting to the state were taken at Sacramento recently by Stephenson. Through the office of the state forester, Stephenson learned that the state highway commission was willing to take up the care of young trees. The forestry board of this county has always found the state highway people anxious to cooperate in highway planting. On several occasions, Highway Commissioner Darlington of Los Angeles has given the local board assistance through cooperating with its plans. Stephenson and Assistant State Forester Dodge had an interview in Sacramento with A. B. Fletcher, chief engineer of the state highway com- with the regular forces of the United States Army. Anaheim Gazette ALIEN LAND LAW UPHELD BY COURT Judge Oralg Decides Jap Cannot Hold Real Estate in State Deciding that the anti-alien land law does not conflict with the treaty with Japan concluded in 1911, and that the state has a right to forbid ownership of land by allens not eligible to citizenship, Judge Hugh H. Craig of the Superior court handed down at Riverside the first judgment in a case of international importance. An appeal to higher courts will probably be taken. The decision relates to an action brought by the people of the State of California against Jukishi Harada and his three minor children, through Atty-Gen. Webb and Attorney Miguel Esudillo. The complaint held that house and lot, purchased by Harada for his minor children, in a choice residence district at Riverside, escheated to the state when the Japanese became the owner. However, the court held that the state did not show clearly that title to the property had not passed to some one eligible to own it between the time Harada bought it and the date of he filing of the complaint. On this point the defendant's demurrer was sustained and ten days given the state in which to file an amended complaint. Harada, the state alleged, acquired the property—a residence said to have been valued at $8000—on December 14, 1915, and on that date "it escaped to the tsate." Harada's attorneys, in presenting arguments in their client's behalf before the court, December 4, 1916, contended the treaty of February 21, 1911, between the United States and Japan provided Japanese may own residential property in the United States and asserted the United States Supreme FOR SALE Have recently acquired these two 20-acre tracts and I consider them the best in their class.

Stephenson explained that Orange county could not plant any more trees this spring because it had reached the limit of mileage that could be cared for with the present forestry equipment. If the state should take over the care of the trees along the state highway, the county could do other planting, if found advisable. Engineer Fletcher stated that the maintenance department of the highway was in a position to take over the care of the trees, and he believed the petition would be granted, should the Orange county board ask that its statehighway trees be cared for by the state. At a recent meeting of the board of forestry, Stephenson laid the matter before the board, and he was instructed to forward a petition asking the state to take over the trees, the county to turn the work over to the state just as soon as the state has its equipment for caring for the trees. There are about 2150 trees planted along the state highway. Most of these trees are oaks and deodars. The state highway is planted almost continuously from Culver's Corner south to San Juan Capistrano. About 1000 of the trees have been given a mulch of bean straw. The trees will be turned over to the state in splendid condition. WOULD ENLIST MEN FOR FARM WORK Illinois Professor has Scheme for Increasing Product of Soil Dean Davenport of the University of Illinois, in an address before the Church Commission in detail outlined a program for agricultural war preparedness. The dean's plan is to have the war department enlist an auxiliary manner as enlistment for the regular army. The dean's idea is that the whole plan should be managed by the department of war, and a uniform or some badge of enrollment be furnished every boy or man. LAW WOULD JEOPARDIZE TWO WATER COMPANIES Attorney E. E. Keech has Entered a Protest Against Its Passage That Senate Bill No. 121, if passed as it now reads, would jeopardize both the Saanta Ana Valley Irrigation Company and the Anaheim Union Water company is the declaration of Attorney E. E. Keech of Santa Ana, attorney for the two water companies. Keech is preparing a statement that he will send to State Senator Evans and to others outlining the reasons why the bill is pernicious. "The bill looks innocent enough," said Attorney Keech, "but it is a menace unless it is amended to make an exception of mutual companies." In brief, the measure provides that a majority acreage of any district may form that district into an irrigation district, by petitioning the board of supervisors of the county in which it is proposed to form the district. No vote is provided for. Should the bill become law as it now reads, a large acreage of dry lands could petition to form a district that would take in an irrigated area of less acreage, and should the petition get by the supervisors the majority dry lands could compel the irrigated lands to distribute its warter on to the dry lands. The district would have the power to condemn rights, and could get the control of private water rights. Mutual water companies are private companies, though distinctly cooperative, and are subject to condemnation proceedings. A big acreage joining the area irrigated by the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation company could petition for the formation of an irrigation district that would include the entire acreage irrigated by the S. A. V. I. Co., with the expectation of eventually compelling the condemnation of the S. A. V. I. Co. rights so that some of the water now used on lands under the S. A. I. V. Co. would be used on lands not now water stocked. The bill was drawn up by Attorney Sargent, representing a Los Angeles title company, without any intention WOULD ENLIST MEN FOR FARM WORK Illinois Professor has Scheme for Increasing Product of Soil Dean Davenport of the University of Illinois, in an address before the Church Commission in detail outlined a program for agricultural war preparedness. The dean's plan is to have the war department enlist an auxiliary army of boys between 16 and 18 years old and men past the military age, in companies and regiments to assist the farmers in increasing their crops. He proposes first to register all farmers with a record of their number of acres available for tillage and the number of helpers each farmer would need to raise the maximum crop on his farm. He proposes that the department of war then establish military camps at convenient points where these enlisted men may be gathered under military discipline. He would have the camps convenient to land rented by the government to raise the largest possible amount of garden truck, small fruit, cotton and tobacco. His plan is to erect at these centers facilities for drying and canning the products. In addition, he would furnish from these camps a supply ow workers to farmers who need help, the men to be paid the usual farm wages of the community while at work and to receive the usual soldiers' pay while in camp. His plan would require every enlisted man in this service to be either at work or in camp while in training. Time would be afforded in camps for military drill for those who needed it in order to go into the army later. He suggested that the enlistment for this service be carried on in the could petition for the formation of an irrigation district that would include the entire acreage irrigated by the S. A. V. I. Co., with the expectation of eventually compelling the condemnation of the S. A. V. I. Co. rights so that some of the water now used on lands under the S. A. I. V. Co. would be used on lands not now water stocked. The bill was drawn up by Attorney Sargent, representing a Los Angeles title company, without any intention of applying it to the two big irrigation companies of Orange county. Nevertheless the measure would touch both of these companies vitally. Attorney Keech states that there may be areas where the law would be effective and useful, but it ought not to be allowed to apply to mutual irrigation companies. He is going to appeal to Senator Evans, Senator Carr and possibly others to see it that if the measure passes the senate that it goes through with an amendment exempting mutual water companies from its operations. That is, make it so the property and water rights of mutual water companies cannot be condemned for the use of any irrigation district. CARDINAL GIBBONS SPEAKS "In the present mergency it behooves every American citizen to do his duty, and to uphold the hands of the president and the legislative department in the solemn obligations that confront us," said Cardinal Gibbons. "The primary duty of a citizen is loyalty to his country. This loyalty he manifests more by acts than by words; by solemn service rather than by empty declamation. It is exhibited by an absolute and unreserved obedience to his country's call."
