GRUNION FISHING ON SANDS AT NEWPORT REMARKABLE FISH THAT COMES OUT ON THE SANDS TO SPAWN MANY ANAHEIM PEOPLE MAKE ANNUAL EXCURSION TO CATCH THEM Did you ever fish for grunyon? Many Anaheim people make an annual pilgrimage to Newport Beach and spend the night catching these remarkable little fish. To a tenderfoot the tale of the grunyon sounds like an exceedingly fishy snipe story, and he refuses to be taken in. The habits of the grunyon are regulated by the moon. There have been two grunyon nights this spring, March 11 and April 10, according to the calendar and it is said the small fish never misses his date. A writer for a Sunday magazine tells this story of midnight fishing. The grunyon are about the size of an ordinary smelt and not unlike them in appearance. In the months of March and April and again in August, three days after the full of the moon, and one hour after flood tide, these fish come in large schools, and deposit their eggs upon the beach above the water line. They appear at the time named at the entrance to Newport Bay and at Capistrano. On first receiving information of these fish, I was very skeptical, as it sounded not unlike stories I had heard in mind in which to spawn. Then began quite a bit of rivalry for the coveted place. It seemed to be a case of the survival of the fittest, for the larger one jostled and flapped the others aside as she made her nest. The others found places as near the victor as possible. After the eggs were deposited, the fish popped out of their nests and twisted their bodies across the sand in astonishing short time, making for the water. On reaching the briny deep they swam away quite like ordinary fish. For an hour they continued to come in and spawn, then gradually they left, going out again with the tide. SUGGEST INTERCROPPING TO INCREASE OUTPUT Agricultural College Experts Recommend Raising Crops Among Trees Suggestions to farmers on how to increase the output of their lands were considered at an initial conference on agricultural preparedness held at Davis last week by Dean Thomas F. Hunt of the University of California, College of Agriculture and a corps of expert assistants at the University farm. The results of the conference were announced Saturday. It was decided that much can be done by intercropping, double cropping and the cultivation of lands not now under the plow, to increase the amount of foodstuffs and live stock feed available. Besides the university experts, the farm advisers of Sacramento, Yolo and Glenn counties and W. A. Beard, secretary of the Sacramento Development association, joined in the conference. Intercropping in young orchards and to a lesser extent in old orchards is recommended as a profitable practice, as one suggestion resulting from the meeting. Crops best adapted for intercropping are said to be first, grain. KAISER'S UNDERSTUDY Attacks California is Blown to A German submarine mistake when it hit a California merchant to the Standard weeks ago. The Francisco laden route for an Entrance coast of Cromwell denly lifted itself two miles distant the Sequoya was pared to defend three times with dersea boat, one several others w shot from the German, exploding blew up, and said Captain James stania and Lacom. This occurred but the English omit the facts to only became known returned to her cisco. She was ed, and will be Iron Work.

Litzaw accoos street that mor an ordinary smelt and not unlike them in appearance. In the months of March and April and again in August, three days after the full of the moon, and one hour after flood tide, these fish come in large schools, and deposit their eggs upon the beach above the water line. They appear at the time named at the entrance to Newport Bay and at Capistrano. On first receiving information of these fish, I was very skeptical, as it sounded not unlike stories I had heard of bagging snipe. Nevertheless I determined to be game and with a large party went grunyon hunting. I found that my informant had spoken the truth. Since then I have seen these fish run several times, so will say that, as fantastic as the following sounds, it is as true as gospel. As floodtide was about midnight, our party reached the end of the sand spit called Newport Beach at about 10 o'clock in the evening. It is at the end of this sand spit that old Neptune pours its waters into Newport Bay. At this location on both bay and ocean shores, the grunyon come out to spawn. The supposition is that the Santa Ana river, flowing into the bay at the other end brings a stream of fresh water through the bay and into the ocean. At Capistrano the fish spawn at a place where the San Juan creek empties into the ocean. Whether that has anything to do with their choice of locality, I could not say. To go back to the party: From 10 to 12 we passed in various ways. Our guide spent much time in watching the beach for signs informing us that as a sign we would hear a flapping in the water, before they arrived. One of the party who had wandered over by the water's edge came running back to camp with a silvery fish in his hand. It had arrived a little ahead of schedule, but was a good sign, so our guide informed us. He also warned us to put on the soft pedal on our voices, as the fish were sensitive to much noise. Just then a flapping and flopping came to our ears. They were coming! Right here let me state that it was bright moonlight, being three days after the full of the moon. As the next wave came in upon the shore, it was a wiggling, flapping mass of silvery fish. There were thousands upon thousands of them! As the water receded it left this great mass of fish high and dry. But they were not satisfied, for the whole mass wiggled for foodstuffs and live stock feed available. Besides the university experts, the farm advisers of Sacramento, Yolo and Glenn counties and W. A. Beard, secretary of the Sacramento Development association, joined in the conference. Intercropping in young orchards and to a lesser extent in old orchards is recommended as a profitable practice, as one suggestion resulting from the meeting. Crops best adapted for intercropping are said to be first, grain sorghums; second,-beans; third, other vegetables. Second crops on lands planted to barley, where such lands can be irrigated are recommended providing the crops are suited to the land and planted so as to mature before killing frosts. Products best adapted for second crops on such lands are grain sorghums, forage crops and beans. Extensive areas in the Sacramento Valley as well as elsewhere throughout the state, it was determined, which can and should be more fully utilized by the adoption of some of the above methods. The university agricultural department, county farm advisers and the county farm bureau should invite attention to opportunities which exist for increasing the output of California farms, the experts decided, and provide practical advice and guidance as far as practicable to farmers undertaking the work. The development association will cooperate in every possible way with these plans. GENUINNESS OF SIGNATURES IS STILL IN DOUBT Experts Fail to Agree After Examining Papers in Romer Estate Handwriting experts who examined the papers in the estate of Christine E.

There were thousands upon thousands of them! As the water receded it left this great mass of fish high and dry. But they were not satisfied, for the whole mass wiggled forward to the looser sand beyond the water's edge. Like a delegation they came, twisting and turning their little bodies until they reached a place of safety, where the next wave would not spoil their plans. Then the real phenomenon occurred—that of depositing their eggs. Each and every one of those thousands of fish stood on their tails in the sand, and quicker than it takes to tell it, wiggled down into its depths, until only a shiny little head remained in view! There they rested for a few seconds, panting from their exertion. In this little nest the little mother deposited her eggs, starting a new generation. While you stood awestruck, wondering what would take place next, out they jumped with a flying leap to the beach and away they squirmed. Acrobatic creatures they are and no mistake. We had carried along small flour sacks for the purpose of carrying home a few to eat, and they are as delicious as smelt. One of the party carried a basket on his arm, thinking it was easier to deposit them in it than in a bag. As fast as he gathered a handful and laid them in the basket, they jumped out, much to the amusement of the rest of us. After the first surprise and excitement was over, I fell to studying them. I noted that sometimes a dozen or more seemed to have the same local case has gone over until April 20. Chester Spencer declares that while his name appears as administrator of the estate, he never signed the papers that would make him responsible for the $1800 that belongs to the estate but which has not been found since the sudden death of Attorney F. C. Spencer, son of Chester. Attorney H. G. Ames takes the view that F. C. Spencer forged his father's name to the proceedings throughout. J. W. McCormac, head of the Orange County Business College, testified that the same hand that signed "Chester Spencer" to the documents also signed "F. C. Spencer" to admitted signatures of F. C. Spencer. In brief, his testimony was that the son forged the father's name, in which case the father will not have to produce the $1800. Milton Carlson of Los Angeles went on the stand and testified positively and without qualification that the disputed signatures were written by none other than Chester Spencer, some of whose admitted signatures were used for comparison.

Ed Anaheim Gazette KAISER'S UNDERSEA WASP SUNK BY AMERICAN Attacks California Merchantman and is Blown to Smitherenes A German submarine made a fatal mistake when it attacked the Sequaya, a California merchant ship belonging to the Standard Oil company, some weeks ago. The vessel was from San Francisco laden with oil and was enroute for an English port. Off the coast of Cromwall a submarine suddenly lifted itself out of the water two miles distant and opened fire, but the Sequoya was also armed and prepared to defend herself. She was hit three times with shrapnel by the undersea boat, one man being killed and several others wounded. The fifth shot from the American struck the German, exploding her magazines. She blew up, and sank to the bottom, as Captain James sald, to join the Lusitania and Laconia. This occurred the last of February, but the English censors would not permit the facts to be made public. It only became known when the Sequoya returned to her home port, San Francisco. She was considerably damaged, and will be repaired at the Union Iron Work. ORANGE COUNTY NOTES Attempted Suicide: In an attempt to fulfill a threat to kill himself if his wife continued divorce proceedings against him, John E. Litzaw of Balboa Friday morning shot himself through the left lung with a revolver. The attempted suicide occurred in Clyde Bishop's office at Santa Ana shortly after 10:30. Litzaw's wife and Mrs. Bishop were in the adjoining room. Litzaw accosted his wife on the street that morning with the threat to SANTA ANA PAVING MANY OF ITS STREETS Wants to be Best Paved City of Size In State In its program of building for the future, Santa Ana has paid particular attention to the value of good streets. Its ambition is to be known as the best paved city of its size in the state. For months, three crews of pavers have been busy upon residence streets of the city. Two kinds of paving are being used. One is the concrete base with asphalt covering, and the other is what is known as crushed rock and oil. By the latter process, heavy broken rock is rolled and covered with a hard smooth wearing surface. Orange county, according to the records of the State Motor Vehicle Department, has more automobiles per capita than any other county in California. The county has 140 miles of paved roads, and this year will add several miles more to the total. The county is naturally a favorite of motorists, not only as a place of residence but also as a place to visit. Anaheim, Fullerton, Orange and Santa Ana have all done much paving to meet paved roads of the county, as well as the state highway. The county figures that good roads are not only an asset for those seeking pleasure, but that they are also a big asset in the handling of the numerous big crops of the county. With a tremendous production of beans, sugar beets, grain, citrus fruits, walnuts and other fruits and nuts, paved roads are tremendously appreciated. Eastern farmers who are used to hauling on bad roads find that paved roads in Orange county are a great help in getting their products to packing houses and depots. MEASLES WHAT IS CAUSING THE MEXICAN EXODUS Thousands of Men Quitting Work Without Apparent Reason The mysterious movements of the Mexicans throughout Southern California are causing uneasiness among the officials and worry among the people who have employed them. Without apparent reason many are quitting their jobs, and reports from the border are to the effect that they are crossing into Mexico. It was reported from Los Angeles last week that at least ten thousand had disappeared and it is supposed they had been subsidized by glittering promises from below the border and were going to join in war against the United States. Thirty employees of a telephone company working on a line near Capistrano, quit in a body Saturday night, and would give no explanation for their action. Sugar beet men are considerably worried because of their inability to get a sufficient force to thin the growing crop, although they are offered more for their work than they received last year. Thursday seven Mexicans without giving any reason quit H. Clay Kellogg's construction camp in the Santa Ana canyon. There had been some difficulty between them and the foreman over holding out money for a grub bill, but that difficulty had been adjusted in accordance with the views of the Mexicans, none of whom could talk English. None of the California-born, Spanish speaking people working for Kellogg quit. Kellogg states that Mexicans are coming and going almost every day, and it is nothing unusual to have one or two quit, but it was unusual to have seven quit all at once. There have been rumors recently that Mexicans were quitting their jobs in San Bernardino and Riverside counties in droves and returning to Mexico. Where are the Mexicans who were Attempted Suicide: In an attempt to fulfill a threat to kill himself if his wife continued divorce proceedings against him, John E. Litzaw of Balboa Friday morning shot himself through the left lung with a revolver. The attempted suicide occurred in Clyde Bishop's office at Santa Ana shortly after 10:30. Litzaw's wife and Mrs. Bishop were in the adjoining room. Litzaw accosted his wife on the street that morning with the threat to kill himself if she continued her case against him. She tried to get away from him but he persisted in following her. Taking her lawyer's office as a refuge, Mrs. Litzaw started up the stairs in the Orange County Trust building, her husband following. They reached the office almost together. Mrs. Litzaw called to Mrs. Bishop not to let her husband in, and Mrs. Bishop closed the door as quickly as possible, fastening it behind her. A moment later a shot was heard, and the sound of a falling body. Mrs. Bishop ran into the adjoining office and called in B. H. Elwing and C. P. Tedford, who rushed into the room where the man lay. The wife followed. As the man, apparently dying, gazed at her, he muttered, "Are you satisfied now?" She made no answer. The injured man was taken to the Santa Ana hospital for treatment. The bullet entered his side just above the heart, piercing the upper lobe of the left lung and the left pulmonary veins. His condition is critical. Shoulders for Boulevard: Through a motion unanimously adopted by the directors of the Santa Ana chamber of commerce Wednesday that body issued to the supervisors of the county an appeal that suitable shoulders be provided for all paved roads in the county, and especially on the state highway between Santa Ana and San Juan Capistrano, where lack of shoulders has been a factor in causing automobile accidents. Cabbage Prices Soar: Climbing steadily since the first of the year cabbage prices today are higher than they have ever been and growers are in fair way to reap an enormous profit, according to the opinion expressed by vegetable dealers. Cabbage quotations here range from $85 to $90 a ton, according to these men; in Los Angeles the quotation is $120 and in Chicago $180. MEASLES Measles is more prevalent now than it has ever been in the history of California, according to a news letter issued by the state board of health. During the first three months of this year 8505 cases of the disease have been reported to the board of health, twice as many as are were reported during the whole year of 1916. The disease is not confined to any one section of the state. It is sweeping through the big cities and the rural districts from Shasta to San Diego, from the mountains to the sea. There is not a single county from which cases have not been reported, with the exception of some of the snow-bound districts in the high mountains. Measles has a way of appearing in wide spread outbreaks with more or less regularity. The last big epidemic in California was in 1915, when 13-14 cases were reported to the state board of health. In 1914 there were 8855 cases and last year there were but 4268 cases. The cases reported by months during 1917 are as follows—January, 1606; February, 3305; March 3594. Since measles is one of the most highly communicable of all infectious diseases, it is difficult to control. It is most easily contracted before the eruption appears and before the nature of the disease is recognized. It is not air borne, but is spread by discharges from the mouth nose and in the very early stages of the disease. If all school children were to be examined each morning before entering school, and if all those showing symptoms of common colds were excluded from attendance, it might be possible to keep the school open during epidemics. Measles is often fatal to children under five years of age and on this account, special protection should be given to very young children. It is a mistake to expose a child to the disease so that he may "get 'em and have 'em over with." The after results may affect the health of the individual all through his life. Nevertheless news from all points in Southern California indicate that there is a general exodus, and the movement is almost spontaneous. Many of them give no explanation on quitting work, and as wages are higher than a year ago, the real reason for their action is not apparent on the surface. Cabbage Prices Soar:— Climbing steadily since the first of the year cabbage prices today are higher than they have ever been and growers are in fair way to reap an enormous profit, according to the opinion expressed by vegetable dealers. Cabbage quotations here range from $85 to $90 a ton, according to these men; in Los Angeles the quotation is $120 and in Chicago $180. A full car of cabbage has not been shipped east out of Orange county since the first of the year, he said. Most of the shipments have been in mixed cars, the average cabbage consignments ranging between four and five tons. "The Orange county cabbage crop this year will run between 500 and 600 cars," the vegetable dealer asserted, "and at a conservative estimate it represents $100,000. The original acreage of cabbage in the county was 4000 acres." In Trouble Again:— Ramon Yorba, Jr., has another complaint against him. He has been out of jail several weeks, and during one of those periods between stays in jail he has been employed part of the time as a blind pig detective and, according to a report received Monday, ap art of the time in bootlegging. Last week Officer Murray swore to a complaint charging him with vagrancy in that he seemed to have no visible means of support. Before the warrant was served, Yorba was gone. Monday Constable Combs of San Juan Capistrano swore to a complaint charging him with selling liquor illegally. FOR SALE—Good delivery wagon, Cheap.

It is a mistake to expose a child to the disease so that he may "get 'em and have 'em over with." The results may affect the health of the individual all through his life. While the quarantine of measles is not required under the law, health authorities may isolate cases; in fact, isolation of cases is the only available method for the control of the disease. If parents and teachers were always to report cases that may come to their attention, as the law requires, measels would be much more easy to control. Health officers cannot well fight a disease like measles unless they know where it exists. The cooperation of parents and teachers in reporting is absolutely necessary if the children are to escape this common, but nevertheless serious, disease. SWEET POTATO DISEASES Some of the worst sweet potato diseases live from one season to the next in the soil and on the old decayed potatoes bedded for a previous crop, according to the specialists of the United States department of agriculture. For that reason it is essential that fresh soil or sand be used every year. Under no circumstances use soil for the hotbed from fields where sweet potatoes previously have been grown. Instead go into the woods, if possible, and throw off 6 inches of the surface and take subsoil. Sand will do just as well. If soil can not be obtained from the woods, it may be taken from a new field where sweet potatoes have not been grown before. It is essential also that the framework of the hotbed be disinfected by spraying with a solution made by adding 1 pint of formalin to 30 gallons of water. Similar results may be obtained by whitewashing the framework. Better still, spray with winter strength, lime sulphur solution. In the spring before being bedded the potatoes should be disinfected by immersing for from five to ten minutes in a solution of corrosive sublimate, made by dissolving 1 ounce of the crystals in 8 gallons of water. This is a deadly poison. Use with great care. Treated seed should not be left where animals can reach it. Only wooden containers should be used for disinfection. After disinfection the potatoes should be immediately rinsed in pure water and dried or bedded at once. Just enough of the solution should be put in the barrel or receptacle used for disinfecting to cover the quantity of potatoes to be immersed each time. The solution should not be used more than three times, since it loses its strength and effectiveness upon repeated use. After the potatoes are disinfected, any showing evidence of disease, eith- G THE EXICAN EXODUS Quitting Work Current Reason movements of the Southern Califorsiness among the city among the peojoyed them.

In addition to the above there was an equivalent of 76,349 head of cattle grazed under free permit by 771 permittees on account of the ownership or leasing of privately owned land within the national forests of California during the grazing season of 1916. Also the equivalent of 9,048 head of cattle were grazed exempt from permit by 1,130 owners. These stock represent milch or work animals owned by bona fide settlers residing in or near national forests who are allowed to graze not more than a total of 10 head of such stock free of charge. For the grazing season of 1917 the national forests in California are authorized to graze an equivalent of 327,315 head of cattle under paid permit.

The fees collected for stock grazed under permit on government land within the national forests of California during the fiscal year of 1916 amounted to $110,998.30. COOK PORK THOROUGHLY Eating insufficiently cooked pork reccently caused serious illness in every member of a Marin county family of 13 persons, except a babe in arms. The cases were investigated by the bureau of communicable diseases of the California state board of health and it was determined that the 12 patients were suffering from trichinosis, a disease that exists chiefly in rats, hogs and men. Rats become infected through eating scraps of infected meat about slaughter houses and through eating each other. Hogs become infected through rats, and men become infected through eating hogs. If pork is thoroughly cooked before eating, however, there is no danger of contracting the disease. Trichinosis is without doubt more prevalent than is generally known, many cases being mistaken for other diseases. Housewives should always cook pork thoroughly in order to make certain that dangerous meat is not served on the family table.
