The proclamation sets forth the various acts which the courts have held to be treasonable and are punishable by death. The proclamation follows: Whereas, all persons in the United States, citizens as well as aliens, should be informed of the penalties which they will incur for any failure to bear true allegiance to the United States. Now, therefore, I. Woodrow Wilson, president of the United States, hereby issue this proclamation to call especial attention to the federal provisions of the constitution and the laws of the United States. Section 3 of article III of the constitution provides in part: "Treason against the United States shall consist only in levying against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort." stain from committing any and all acts which would constitute a violation of any of the laws herein set forth; and I further proclaim and warn all persons who may commit such acts that they will be vigorously prosecuted therefor. In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed. Done at the City of Washington this 16th day of April in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and seventeen, and of the independence of the United States of America the one hundred forty-first. (Signed) WOODROW WILSON, (By the president, Robert Lansing, secretary of state). POTASH FROM KELP A. O. Brown of San Diego, who has been visiting his son at Garden Grove, is one of the 600 employees in the Hercules potash plant which is a branch of the Eddystone, Penn., munitions plant which was blown up April 11 with such disastrous results to life and property. The Hercules obtains the raw material from the immense kelp beds along the coast. Two boats are always sent together for protection, though so far as known only one boat has ever been known to capsize from the strain of kelp gathering. The harvest boats are fitted with a front reaper which also elevates the kelp into the boats. They do not go far from the coast as the boats, when at work, cannot withstand the swells of the ocean. They work about seventy miles up coast, which brings them in the vicinity of San Pedro. Each boat can carry about forty tons. Arriving with their cargo at the Hercules pier the kelp is elevated by suction into vats on the end of the pier. From there, by suction of two 100-horsepower pumps, it is carried through a 16-groups of cows in their complete list of prizes for the rules governing them will be found in Circulate college of agriculture, secured upon application tor of the experiment station, California.

In order to included in the competition for entry must, however prior to May 1st, this ye Now, therefore, I. Woodrow Wilson, president of the United States, hereby issue this proclamation to call especial attention to the federal provisions of the constitution and the laws of the United States. Section 3 of article III of the constitution provides in part: "Treason against the United States shall consist only in levying against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort." The criminal code of the United States provides: "Section 1—Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them, or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere is guilty of treason. "Section 2—Whoover is convicted of treason shall suffer death; or at the discretion of the court, shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined not less than $10,000, to be levied on and collected out of any or all of his property, real and personal, of which he was the owner at the time of committing such treason, any sale or conveyance to the contrary notwithstanding; and every person so convicted of treason shall, moreover, be incapable of holding any office under the United States. "Section 3—Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, and having knowledge of the commission of any treason against them, conceals and does not, as soon as may be, disclose and make the same known to the president or some judge of the United States or to the government or to some judge or justice of a particular state, is guilty of misprison of treason and shall be imprisoned not more than 7 years, and fined not more than $1,000. "Section 4—If two or more persons in any state or territory or in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspire to overthrow, put down or destroy by force the government of the United States, or to levy war against them, or to oppose by force to prevent, hinder or delay the execution of any law of the United States, or by force to seize, take or possess any property of the United States contrary to the authority thereof, they shall each be fined not more than $5000 or imprisoned not more than six years, or both." The courts of the United States have stated the following acts to be treasonable: A. E. Dixon and sons, Joe and Louis tried out their new sardine net the past few days at Newport and have been meeting with good success, bringing in all the way from one ton to 4400 pounds. The new seine is one of the biggest in use on the Pacific Coast, being 144 deep and 1020 feet long and manufactured at a cost of over $600. Considerable experience is necessary in knowing just how to lay the net to get the most fish in a haul, and experienced hands in the game say that it is nothing unusual to get five or six tons in one attempt, where the nets are laid properly. The price paid by the canneries for sardines has been about $18 per ton, which is considered fairly good by the fishermen. The catches are taken to San Pedro, where they are canned almost as soon as they are unloaded from the boats. DAIRY COW COMPETITION CONSIDER ROAD BUILD IN NATIONAL FOREST Federal Government W Aid the Court If Orange county was road building inside the national Forest, the federal vice will be willing to cooperate over with the county extent of financial aid transferred by the federal service been determined it sees this county can get a money to be used on the forest service in re- Monday morning F.

Stephenson suggestedject that had been coobably by many people who have tramped their back trail is the open from the Trabuco into Santiago canyon, or beautiful spots of the portion of wild country but to comparatively The rebuilt of the San Juan to El project that might be war against them, or to oppose by force to prevent, hinder or delay the execution of any law of the United States, or by force to seize, take or possess any property of the United States contrary to the authority thereof, they shall each be fined not more than $5000 or imprisoned not more than six years, or both." The courts of the United States have stated the following acts to be treasonable: The use or attempted use of any force or violence against the government of the United States or its military or naval forces. The acquisition, use or disposal of any property with knowledge that it is to be, or with intent that it shall be, of assistance to the enemy in their hostilities against the United States. The performance of any act or the publication of statements or information which will give or supply in any way, aid and comfort to the enemies of the United States. The directing, aiding, counseling or countenancing of any of the foregoing acts. Such acts are held to be treasonable whether committed within the United States or elsephere; whether committed by a citizen of the United States or by any alien domiciled, or residing in the United States, inasmuch as resident aliens as well as citizens owe allegiance to the United States and its laws. Any such citizen or alien who has knowledge of the commission of such acts and conceals and does not make known the facts to the officials named in section three of the penal code is guilty of misprison of treason. And I hereby proclaim and warn all citizens of the United States and all aliens, owing allegiance to the government of the United States, to ab- and experienced hands in the game say that it is nothing unusual to get five or six tons in one attempt, where the nets are laid properly.

DAIRY COW COMPETITION Dairymen and breeders of dairy cattle who are considering the question of entering cows in the state dairy cow competition are reminded that entries in the competition will close on May 1st, in accordance with the announcement made. The object of this competition, which is being conducted by the college of agriculture of the University of California is to improve the dairy herds of the state by stimulating the interest in production tests of the cows. Nearly 100 prizes varying in value from $300 to $10 each, are offered for records of production by cows entered in the competition, the aggregate value of the prizes amounting to nearly $8000. More than one half of this amount will be awarded for records of production by grade and common cows only. It will be well worth the effort of any dairyman who owns good cows to enter these in the competition, on account of the prizes they may win, the knowledge that will be gained as to the value of the individual cows, and the advertising that will be received through the publication of good records of production in the herd. Members of cow testing associations may compete for the prizes offered for yearly herd records without extra expense, and at greatly decreased cost for prizes for individual cows and EXEMPT PROJECT Considerable space is Controller John S. Chase for this year to the making property from taxpayers is against exempt present systems of taxation out that so much money ed for the support afforded for the support afforded for the various forms and that where tax granted an additional den is thrown upon other property not exempted.

This is because these various classes are exempted from tax assessors no longer be them. In 1915, however gathered in San Francisco showed that the value exempted in that $8,000,000. There are a number amendments before Gov. M. R. Patterson, of Tennessee groups of cows in their herds. The complete list of prizes with copy of the rules governing the competition, will be found in Circular 153 of the college of agriculture, which may be secured upon application to the director of the experiment station at Berkeley, California.

Defendant Action brought in the Superior Court of the County of Orange, State of California, and the Complaint filed in the office of the Clerk of said County of Orange. Richard Melrose. Attorney for Plaintiff. The People of the State of California Send Greeting to George W. Terry, Defendant. You are hereby directed to appear and answer the Complaint in an action entitled as above brought against you in the Superior Court of the County of Orange, State of California, within ten days after the service on you of this Summons, if served within this County, or within thirty days if served elsewhere. And you are hereby notified that unless you appear and answer as above required, the said plaintiff will take judgment for any money or damages demanded in the complaint, as arising upon contract, or will apply to the Court for any other relief demanded in the complaint. Given under my hand and the seal of the Superior Court of the County of Orange, State of California, this 11th day of January, A. D. 1917. (Seal of Superior Court) W. B. WILLIAMS, Clerk CONSIDER ROAD BUILDING IN NATIONAL FOREST Federal Government Will Probably Aid the County If Orange county wants to do any road building inside the Cleveland National Forest, the federal forest service is willing to cooperate. The forest people are in a position to talk it over with the county, and while the extent of financial aid that can be offered by the federal service has not been determined it seems likely that this county can get a share of the money to be used in the coming year by the forest service in road work. Monday morning Forest Ranger Stephenson of El Toro was in Santa Ana with a blank petition that he is going to give the Board of Supervisors. That petition can be filled out for the construction of any road in the forest that the county might want, and will be considered by the forest service when it comes to making its appropriations for the year. "I do not know how much federal money would be available," said the forest ranger, "but I believe the chances of getting substantial aid for some Orange county project are good. I do not know that the county wants to undertake any further road building inside the forest boundaries, but if it does, this is an opportunity for seeking aid." Stephenson suggested that one project that had been considered favorably by many people of the county who have tramped the Old Saddleback trail is the opening of a road from the Trabuco into the upper part of Santiago canyon, one of the most beautiful spots of the county yet a portion of wild country that is known but to comparatively few people of the county. The rebuilding of portions of the San Juan to Elsinore road is a project that might be considered. EXEMPT PROPERTY SHERIFF JACKSON ISSUES PROCLAMATION Foreign Citizens Not Molested so Long As They Obey the Law The status of foreign citizens resident in Orange county has been defined in a proclamation just issued by Sheriff Jackson. It is to be printed in English, German and Spanish, and posted in conspicuous places. The proclamation reads: I, C. E. Jackson, sheriff of Orange county, deem it wise in the present crisis, in this formal proclamation to assure all residents of foreign birth that although the United States has become actively involved in the great European war, no citizen of any foreign power, resident in Orange county, need fear any invasion of his personal or property rights so long as he goes peaceably about his business and conducts himself in a law-abiding manner. The United States has never, in any war, confiscated the property of any foreign resident unless by his own hostile acts he made it necessary. I take this formal means of declaring to all foreign born residents that they will be protected in the ownership of their property and money and that they will be free from personal molestation, so long as they obey the laws of the state and station and the ordinances of the city in which they reside. I urgently request that all our people refrain from public discussion of questions involved in the present crisis and maintain a calm and considerate attitude toward all, without regard to their nationality. Let it be understood that every citizen owes undivided allegiance to the American flag, that he is expected to loyalty fulfill all obligations which citizenship and residence impose upon him, and that any act, however slight, tending to give aid or comfort to the enemy is treason, for which severe penalties are provided in addition to that punishment which public opinion inflicts upon the memory of all traitors in all lands. A bonus of 20 per cent on the annual pay check has been given to 750 men in the employ of the Great Western EXEMPT PROPERTY Considerable space is given in State Controller John S. Chambers' report for this year to the matter of exempting property from taxation. Chambers is against exemptions under the present systems of taxation. He points out that so much money must be raised for the support and development of the various forms of government and that where tax exemptions are granted an additional and unjust burden is thrown upon other classes of property not exempted. His figures show that the exemption approved by the people in 1914 of educational institutions of collegiate grade resulted in taking from the 1916 rolls property heretofore assessed at $1,751,920. Figures are not available, he states, as to what the exemptions of ships amounted to, nor are figures available as to the value of church property exempted from taxation. This is because, inasmuch as these various classes of property are exempted from taxation, the local assessors no longer bother to assess them. In 1915, however, data was gathered in San Francisco which showed that the value of church property exempted in that city exceeded $8,000,000. There are a number of constitutional amendments before the present A bonus of 20 per cent on the annual pay check has been given to 750 men in the employ of the Great Western Sugar company of Denver. The bonus was given to men who had been in the employ of the company more than a year. Others received an increase in pay also and about two thousand men are affected. Friendliness exists between the beet growers of the American Sugar company and the company directors. The officials asked the farmers to draw up a schedule of percentages, but the planters said that the company had far better facilities to do that and now they are going to work together toward one goal. The old deacon who could not use all the big words used in the meeting house ordinarily always spoke of consecration as concentration and that is what every man consecrated to his task does that which the farmers and sugar makers about Oxnard are doing, and in the most friendly manner. The American Beet Sugar company will have 36,000 acres, or 6,000 acres more than last year. The Oxnard district alone will have 12,000 acres and Newhall will have 1,500 acres. The farmers are very enthusiastic about it all and have been on their knees, not only praying but thinning, ever since the 20th of February. In the San Fernando district the season is late, the PROPOSALS Sealed proposals will be received by the Clerk of the City of Anaheim, at his office in the City Hall, Center Street, Anaheim, up to Thursday, April 26, 1917, at 8 o'clock, P.M., for doing all the city printing and advertising for the fiscal year ending April 30, 1918.
